I was circumcised
Under the circumstance
That the circumciser
Would do the circumcision
Under the circumstance
That when he did the circumcision
It was under the circumstance
Of the one who was getting circumcised
Love’s Goodbye
Those who ask
no questions
offer the greatest
comfort
Those who speak
inscriptive
tell the biggest
lies
Those who pledge
no fealty
to themselves
dishonor
Those who bear
no greetings
doomed to love’s
— goodbye
(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)
Misfortune Contrives
It’s in fashion
to wear
your heart
on your sleeve
A French poet
alarmed
that love may
deceive
Bleeding a wound
that
misfortune
contrives
Alone
in deception
your love
— circumcised
(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)
Epiphany Of Time
Once
you wrap
all existence
into this moment
You will
understand the
difference between life
— and its living
(Dreamsleep: February, 2026)
Without my scars
I wouldn't be who I am today
I'm branded to live a prodigy
I look strong
I was built by fragile moments...
Without my bruises
I wouldn't have known
What healing feels like
I had to break to mend
I earned my knowledge
Through a remake
Of my broken pieces.
I was purified through storms...
Call me a woman
A human raised by inhumane
And favored by brutal circumstances
I was circumcised by pain
I bled and earned my wisdom
Through lightning brought by
Forces of nature.
The world doesn't care
When adversity dictates
It doesn't show up
It lets nature be at play
While i was a chess game
A queen at her moves.
I bled to earn my throne,
My title and my crown
Of Queenship
Nazi time
Uniformed men with ice blue eyes, marched
Up and down the street, bomb fell, earth shock
And I was two years old
An officer with steel rimmed glasses and a cruel
Smile, said: this child is blond and has blue eyes
I clicked my heel, sucked my thumb
Mother, took to singing sentimental lieders
They gave her an iron cross, while dreamed
The kindergarten’s infant Fuhrer
To my regret, peace broke out and life was
Lull again, till I was circumcised and went
To live in Haifa, where I could pee over a new
Wall, which made me a natural leader of men.
How is it so
a woman
can cheer the burning of children
How twisted a cult
to think genocide is lovely
western media all eyes closed
Honest reporting an illusion
actually an organized hate group
rebels not really, just sick killers
Toronto, 55,000 terrorists march
none of them truly Canadian
Zionists thanking Hitler, kissing his brown ass
Alexa is not just a bot
also a racist, Quebecoise after all
no morals, a narrow mind always small
a circumcised ********
robbing life of any happiness
then the hate spreads and spreads
Ezra was a racist back in ancient times
now just a simple man of hate
circumcising all hope for humanity
Pure evil
dead civilizations
yes that's the math
of terror
How it began
Men in green uniforms
ice blue eyes and leathery lips
saw me in the crib
and declared this child
is an Aryan
I clicked my heels and
sucked my thumb
Mother took to singing
sentimental lieders
and received the fab
iron cross
I became the kindergarten's
Fuhrer
To my regret, peace broke
into my dream
I circumcised
we moved to Tel Aviv
the rest is history
Circumstance lost control;
Lost obstacles betrothed;
Whom am I to unanswer the call;
While on my stomach vividly I crawl;
Points of random denial;
Circumcised heart chiseled because of its hardness;
No longer harden massaged by the Father's hands;
Beautifully conformed I am;
Shore beautiful
I am moved in grace, present before His face;
A child of the Righteousness of Father God;
Endowed in His amazing grace;

I am covered in arms of covered love
Vested in grossed drenched in Heavenly rain
Circumcised caveat angels and dove
So life circumstance at times includes pains
~
Sighted visions of mind set divisions
Whose am I to set fore lightening bright
And wild in Blackness stargazing vision
Deepening blackest silenced solice light
~
All that I am that I am is from God
Elohim all creator breath He gives
Awe! So glorious mysterious so odd
Mercy's Grace given now I really live
My heart eyes see alive vested garden
Spirit soul my Father calls me darling

It keeps me coming it keeps me coming the environment surrounded by the darkness it keeps me flowing keeps me going my dark is not light
As 4 whose wrong myself
4 whose am I
I am breath energized
Light I shine effortlessly bright
I circumcised the darkness
Dark now light
So shine I bright
I stand in the darkness I am the lightness
Beneath the crevices are mine lessons
Surrounded by people covered in their own personal darkness am I the vessel so I shine
God N me cries joyous shouts mercies graces peace
So devine in Jesus mighty name so shine
Dark now light
So shine I bright
So darkness was
Alas my Father Our Father makes us LIGHT
Shine on so shine, shine, shine on now in Jesus name shine
As 4 whose wrong myself
4 whose am I
I am breath energized
Light I shine effortlessly bright
I circumcised the darkness
Dark now light
So shine I bright
So shine our light
So the darkness knows it not

Last time he checked the Gate remained locked. Verdant shadows reflect soft running steams falling into still pools. Rushing to hushed sounds abated in calm. Evergreen foliage radiant, vibrant, waiting.
Forlorn crosslegged perch resumed atop faded grass just outside, four steps distant, an already rusting landscape. No travelers left, yellowed path away, parched for nourishing spirit dew, solemnly abides.
Yearning soul, half scarred, half charred, singular nature revealed abruptly, scuttled unwittingly. Eternal truth circumcised nascent pair, to their despair. Vagrants now, celestial estate forfeit for .... one pomegranate?
endless fallen trail
darkness rails against light
man walked from
Eden
Holy hearts
Set apart
All bond, caught up
In emotions
Heart skins dried out need some lotion
Unsettled mine
Unredeemed time
Circumcised dreams themed nightmare
Harden skins dried out harden love
Loves not... need some lotion
Not at all bonded caught up
In unemotional set apart Holy heart

Acknowledged UNDERSTANDING Spiritual TRUTH beyond Atmosphere
Seeking for those answers
Gleaning the positive positions
Desiring the voice Christ Jesus words
Meditated conditions seeking Elohim
Me in Him and He in Me
And not humanity religion
Circumcised my cornea eye on slot;
My self-taught reasoning my response really
Not to my own
It’s at naught
Understanding I acknowledge Jesus
Believe I in Him and God first foremost
Rather leave me endowed spiritually
As a seeing little child unblended
Resting in your blessings O’ God
I be your light I see your light
I trust giving my Father’s spiritual eyes
And ears spiritual truth beyond atmosphere
Renewing I new heart to love honestly renewed
As ABBA Father God
Does ONLY ALWAYS
AMEN

Force of analysis Anatomy
Circumstance formula
Evasive ecology
What let loose atomic forces
Catastrophic catechism
Muted-minded blank decisions
Body of Lies
Man's Tongue circumcised
Fairy Tail biology
Fogged minds bureaucracies
Raped spirits bodies
Conforming to man tragedies
Virtual accumulative fatality
Force of analysis Anatomy
Man ain't worthless he's just sinful
Made of dirt, a sinner created by God
Breath of live birth?

“And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.” Luke 2:21
God, the Father and Son are male,
known in His Word of that gender.
Take it on faith, He will prevail:
God, the Father and Son are male;
Jesus was circumcised. We hail
and reverence Him in “splendor."
God, the Father and Son are male,
known in His Word of that gender.
