Day By Day DEI

                                  Day by day, 
                                  DEI DEI
                                  All I hear is DEI
                                  Diversity be gone now
                                  Equity goodbye now
                                  Inclusion you disgust us
                                  No more DEI

                    Chorus: To see things less clearly
                                  I ate a bat so nearly*

                                  Oh Oh
                                  DEI DEI
                                  Our melting pot's a far-left lie
                                  Get lost diverse opinions
                                  Jim Crow you're our guy
                                  Inclusion take a hike now
                                  No more DEI
                                  No more DEI
                                  Oh Oh

Rhythm and Blues

They want our rhythm but not our blues
They envy our natural melanin yet tan too
We wear our style and they call it hood
They copy it now and say it’s all good

They want to erase our heroes and heroines 
Because there’s a power in the skin we’re in
King, Tubman, Malcom X, Garvey and more are
Past heroes guiding future black American stars

They say it’s DEI and continue to denim deny
Racist goals and faulty souls as the reason why 
Black is resilient beautiful and brilliant so true
You enslaved raped murdered hate, we don’t need you

DAILY GRATITUDE DEI

Today I’m grateful for Diversity, equity and inclusion…
and how in the whole pie of life each plays an important one-third..

Diversity is having a seat at the table
Equity is having a voice…
Inclusion is having that voice be heard.

Administration '25

They're knocking at me door
In the middle of the night
They're knocking at me door
Giving me an awful fright.

They taking me
To a camp where
Ashes fall like black snow.

I'll not be overjoyed
By goose-stepping boys 
With boots to their knees, oh hey,
And brown shirts and billy clubs
Cheese grater belly rubs
Coming to take me away.

Agnus Dei

Agnus Dei
They sang.
Echoes of an ancient cry
Of prophet wild
On Jordan’s bank.
Mystery spans eternity,
Infinity the source and end.
Provision planned
In love
For man,
For God
A remedy to cross the gulf,
Sin’s chasm,
Gaping wound
Unhealed
Till that great Baptist cry,
Behold the Lamb of God!

Scribbled after hearing Gounod’s music, ‘Agnus Dei’ on the radio.

DEI

("Multiculturalism Merit Badge", 2010, original oil)

DEI

Skin color is literally skin deep,
Of course race means a lot more -
For anatomy and physiology,
Our emotional and mental characteristics,
But that is all deeper than a color.
To focus on just skin
Misses all that is beneath
All that is within,
And THAT is called an individual;
You, me, and us.
Why would we ever give that up
To be just a member of a group,
A face in the crowd
A number in a quota?

It’s a coward’s game to hide one’s face
And yet every day
I still see someone wearing a mask
At the grocery store, at the post office,
And I wonder, what’s wrong with them,
And what illness are they so considerately
Protecting us from…

Facies Dei

Most radiant host, angelic glory be
Within thy blesséd grace, Portal of Faith.
In simple form You came, yet still through thee
We see theophony, through which God saith,

¨Dear child mine, most valiant flesh now is thine.
Hereby thy peace I grant, through darkest night
With burden light and blood of freshest vine.
My veil, most pale, shines forth the brightest light.¨

And blood, the mark of Christ, by malice drawn
In God's almighty chalice rests untouched.
Though hard we pray, His pain is never gone.
´Till end of times, we shall recall as much.
Most sacred Lamb of God, through pain most sweet
Has sacrificed Himself for us to eat.

RIP - DEI

   They say Claudine Gay resigned today
     Diversity at the university just died, we pray

Verbum Dei

Twelve men in the beginning
reporting unto God
Ten Commandments to proclaim…
devotional synod

Sacred by their nature born
each man immortal bound
Divinity in every word
salvations thorny crown

Choices come and choices go
judgment waits beyond
The weight incumbent, buried deep
embedded in a psalm

Nine will cloister, locked in place
the future theirs to choose
Decisions based on marble text
—Noah’s Ark in view

(Villanova University: June, 2022)

Bach Sing Dei

After Christmas comes Boxing Day
When mum carts the rubbish away
Like one of the boys
Dad plays with our toys
Day is done; what more can I say?

On Reading Campo Dei Fiori By Cm

You, Czeslaw,
like a brook of the earth,
welling up to the skies and more,
swelling up even to the sun and the stars
and all unknown, uncounted galaxies
and more, more than we can yet know
or ever will, till in timeless space
we dwell in a place where
our tears mingle with your own,
making of themselves and all
their visions and their dreams,
one endless, downpouring stream,
breaking through both time and space,
cleansing, clearing perhaps one small part
of one small heart of the human tendency
to be a living witness of evil, and not care.

Imago Dei

If leaden skies above you, responsive
As brass, are mocking your anguish’d heart cries,
Repulsing all resolution efforts;
Your angels holiday, while Father God 
Seems distracted -- higher priorities
Eclipsing yours – Would this be the reason
You sit stranded on this park bench broken
Beside the path you once sojourn’d upon?
I know that He sent me to offer hope.
A savior I’m not, nor healing savant,
But a compassionate heart, listening
Ear, called alongside to steady your
Steps. Take my hand, walk with me, discover
His Invitatio to Gratia.

Dei

Contemplating how and why
I search for reasons in the sky
I ponder why I'm not alone
While learning how to make a home
Her presence raises questioning
How love will bloom in early spring
Why she chose to be with me
New born life is what I see
A first for her, it's all brand new
I share advice on what to do
Why and how bring heavy thought
How and why that must be taught
Another chance to get it right
Against all odds we stand and fight
Perfecting me in every way
I'm thankful for her love today
My soul has missed it's guiding light
A stardust beauty, she glows at night
We saved each other and we know how
Together we change each other now
Later we both are fixed by why
Three stars, you see, in a star filled sky

Sono Dipendente Dei Tuoi Baci

With every fleeting breath,
For the rest of my life,
I simply will not forget,
Your toxin,
 My strife.
 
With a single drop you infect,
Flowing through my veins,
A sin I can’t repent,
Your touch,
My pain.
 
Without mercy you intrude,
Writhing under my skin,
A sensual interlude,
Your lyric,
My sin.
 
With shame I may repel,
Yet I return for more,
Instinctively compelled,
Your well,
My draw.
 
With patience I shall wait,
Spinning wheel of destiny,
Accepting my own fate,
Your prayer,
My plea.
 
With cold tears flowing my cheek,
Convicted soul within my midst,
Sono dipendente dei tuoi baci,
I’m addicted to your kisses.

(c) 2015 PJ Bayliss

Orpus Dei

ORPUS DEI
It is the hand in action of dei
Via et epiclesis unus mysterium fidei
The hand that makes all feels great
He is God and ever is he brave

He is ever seen but not familiar
We all see it verba visibilia
It is him who owns what we see
Let’s all move in canon actionalis

I am audemus dicere I dare to say
Hesterni sumus et vestra  omnia implevimus
That’s what I say because he makes me primus
I sleep and I always wait for the break of day

I don’t have to be pontifex maximus
Or be in sacerdotum to earn your trust
All I know is that all you see and know
Is orpus dei et compline complitorum
