Sometimes in life
If you're really lucky,
You meet people you truly love
Without all the complications of physical or spiritual crucifixions
Special ones
You can never grow tired of

Feets moving along I tread along this foreign domain full of bitterness and legions of many things and many eldritch terrifying but as I walk I tell you of the many things I observed which forever stained in my mind. I begin entering uncharted canyons looking up at the edges of them I see three individuals nailed to a wooden cross with one made of black marble stone the left a starfish the right a human dog a beagle to be precise there was one more on the right and left that horizons curtain revealed as I walked further through the canyon A man with the head of a mountain goat an then the left one was a human cougar. the black cross in the middle was a nude woman whose hair floated as if underwater her very stomach had many faces molded onto her. these crucifixions were done by these humanoid ants. Further, I pursue my expedition I saw catepillars with the face of babies with with african tribesman riding them as they wear masks of cyclops made of muddy clay reaching the end I see an altar with a golden praying mantis wearing the face of the holy mary I knew that this was my end for I now must feed my golden dove mother.

It happens to have dark parts to light
With its understanding sparkling so bright
Amidst other attracting convictions
That seem so true nonfictions
To be nailed in stark crucifixions
Sections in section of different segments designing discourses of reasonable patterns
Have to consider the utility of a take for better usage
Running around the inner open space to enslave the heart
And enrich its promotion after preference must have taken over others
Many things may nag the navigational key of your concerns
And place you hanging between confusions of choice with less coverage-
A very tight view in logical reasoning for been smart
Presents cute challenges accepted every second projecting mindset outcome

That man, just like the other, is, helpless,
Yet, he's exhibited his fearlessness,
Has multiplied his struggles;
Headed towards pinnacles;
Hopeful of his victory glorious...
Does the earth ever its movements give up?
Does cosmos, distracted, its rhythm give up?
The existential struggles -
Passions, crucifixions, deaths...
Have the Easter message: Never give up!
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up” 1 Corinthians 9:24)

I stayed on this famous island for a little while,
fortress, prison and avant-garde Bonaparte style.
Rigged charm with antiquities slow train,
governors constitution keeping royal patriots vain.
200 years after the mysterious death of the king,
at his grave, I was wondering, ‘You poor little thing’.
Another sort of great Alexander that loves to conquer,
taken on the establishments in crisis that ponder.
Ideals of restless doomed heroes celebrated,
taken war to higher constitution elevated.
St. Helena the wife of Emperor Constantine,
went on to pilgrimage to find the sacred terrain.
Building the church of the Holy Sepulchre,
the place of Christ crucifixions culture.
Priestess of Avalon and patron saint of discoveries,
island of sacred through Christ self recoveries.
Total sovereignty and its dying destiny,
luring fatal admirations penalty.
No escaping from repeating history.

Roman pro-life Pilate politicians
got their abortion trigger finger
on the gun
Sending public notice of more bullet crucifixions,
a Surgeon General quarantine warning:
Lead cancer epidemic is spreading,
pistol pestilence ...
gunsmoke you best deadly shun
Herodian arms whisperers advise,
to let the virulent violence run it’s course
That’s the American Legion way of the gun ...
Give and take is the bullet gladiator way of life,
written on the name of every Republic citizen
To give birth to the precious metal bastard babies,
you gonna have to
bury some of your flesh-and-blood legitimate ones
Hypocrite politicians say the news ain’t that bad:
Step outside and Lucifer relax ...
take a puff of the lead cancer stick —
but keep your gun cocked and ready to shoot,
locked and loaded bulls-eye barrel smoking mad
Don’t be scared by what you saw, or what you heard
You just can’t believe the graphic images and sounds ...
no, not one fake media misfired word
Take your chances, everybody don’t get lead cancer
Survive, and breathe the polluted gunsmoke air
You’re still alive —
just remember, the next bullet coming won’t care

And your son
Fathered you
To carry him against the disbelief
And anger of conventions
And you gave birth
To the death of old traditions
That will not die
That stones your memory
With silence
For children are not products
Of wedlock
That die in new crucifixions
On crosses in the womb
And the old lie
Of third world overpopulation
You were a gift from him
And he the gift in you
Telling us
We are heritages of the Lord
Like Solomon
Building a sacred place of prayer
For the culture of our sins ...
I do not call you intercessor
I call you courage
Of the better example
Of love's perpetuity

Beguiled
Befooled voodoo stained glass sainted stories
Embodied golden alter lies worshiped
Wined wafers body sanctified promises
Bloody nails thorn wooded idolatrous crosses
Burnt sacrificial crucifixions sinful feared
Confessionals
Used repented
Control
Pompous ignorant banners flying clandestine
Stolen heavens dangled carrot
Eternal peace
Self-rewarding
Love
Caesar’s dead laurels destined Roman spear
Rich laws indoctrinated poor uneducated
Continued centuries absurd pretence
Wealthy fat bloated
Beggars spirituality
Destroying sanities stolen festivities
Temples agog
Stone cathedral mosque prays churches
Grand established faith
Besotted light innocent
Ignorant backbones
Repudiated
Truth
Beguiled
