"Genocided genociders"
Look, the victims of holocaust
committing genocide
They bomb indiscriminately
the so-called open prison
With the embargo they imposed
they let civilians starving
There's no humanity in them
thus, i dub them subhumans *1
They have lost count on the dead
more than some sixty thousands
The former genocided ones
became genociders
Semites massacring semites
almost a fratricide
Behold the majestic zionism
in all of its greatest glory
The jews are now philistines
auschwitz is now gaza
Hitler is netanyahu
and nazis are now zionists
Americans, heroes of world war
are now israel's lackeys
A whole superpower
can't look them in the eye
SHAME on most evangelicals
they're anything but christians
But, this somehow has to end
one day they'll have to pay
It's not an "if", it is a "when"
have courage palestine.
(This poem is not a recent one)
Evangelicals of the Golden Coin
hypocrites in every way
every hour of every day
the slaughter and starvation of children
as long as its not their own
they rise up and sing, the others
they deserve it!
colonizers are always right
the oppressed and poor
simply cobble stones to walk over
singing Christmas carols with eggnog
while bombs fall on little children
I want to throw up, sorry
I am disgusted
as would be little Tiny Tim
Take one demigod from the melting pot
Give it a Mega-phone (the louder the better)
Mix in a heavy dose of Fox News, make it a bit overbearing
In a separate pot,
mix 70 million evangelicals
2 or 3 million fanatics -depending on your tolerance
Season with lies and fear
Add holy water, a couple of cases of Budweiser and demigod mixture
But first clip a piece of ear and discard
sit in the sun until it boils- stirring occasionally
Dear Evangelicals,
Did you drink the Kool aid,
or perhaps it was the bleach?
Now wanting to reelect a President
who should have been impeached!
What about those values that Christ did teach?
May be you no longer care about the Capitol police..
This monied man, an immoral leader
whose prompted up by a massive maga meter..
Donald Trump is skilled at marketing his brand
and spreading his divisiveness where ever he can..
Christ over threw the money tables when in the
temple he went.
Donald Trump is not your savior.
He's no Clark Kent!
One of the many secrets of life:
There is no true freedom.
Man is slave to his own ignorance
And to his own personal sense of reality.
This, in turn, leads to another secret:
The only true sin is ignorance.
All the sought-out and accepted teachings
Of priests and prophets,
Rabbis and theologians,
Imams and evangelicals
Are just rhetoric, empty words from hollow men
Purportedly meant to give
Comfort and order to Man's life,
But only succeed in burdening him
With a genuine and profound sense
Of undeserved guilt for sins he did not commit.
All the answers Man thinks
He learns from these teachings about life's secrets
Are merely vague, naïve assumptions
Based on unlistened to answers
To unanswered questions,
In his trite and pitiful attempt
To deal with the biggest secret of all…
The reality of death…
And coming, finally, to the inevitable conclusion
That there is no arguing with reality.
Author's note: There is no forestalling the inevitable moment, whenever it may come. The best that most of us can hope for is, that when it's our turn, we might possibly go saddened but not embittered.
The Art of the Devilish Deal
By Mark D. Stucky
Did Trump sell his soul to the devil in 2016?
As his part of the deal, could he lie, preen, cheat, and tweet?
Could he distort, divide, deny, demean, demolish, and destroy?
Could he make even a pandemic worse through criminal negligence?
Is the devil in the details of the deal?
Trump was understandably loved by hate-spewing supremacists,
but why also by family-values evangelicals?
How could so many lose their minds…and still not regain them?
Were brains washed sudsy clean by social media and Fox News?
If Trump did make the sale, was it an artful deal?
Was he even still using his soul anyway?
Would the devil desire such a shriveled thing?
For a chance to destroy democracy,
wouldn’t Putin and Satan have worked pro bono?
Has anyone’s devilish deal
ever worked well long-term?
What will Trump ultimately do
when that bad soul loan comes due?

We Christians know enough ... we know
About false prophets and yet shut senses galore
Then we shocked Hindu, Muslim, Jew by loving him
And voting, defending Donald: Liar, Egotist, Trampling
When he lost, he wanted to kill, maim, mock democracy
Hang on to free lodging at The White House
(Maybe it is time to rename this House of Tribalism)?
Trumpling, Tramp of democracy, Trifling with Global Government!
Will we (Christians) ever learn
If they do not talk, walk, share ... about Jesus, Yeshua Hameshiach
They are the anti-Christ if elected by our majority, Believers,
Evangelicals, Catholics! (Biden #2, may correct this tramp)

guilty are the ones
who claim they walk on water
skimming off the top
By
David Kavanagh
an agnostic dyslectic
stays up all night
wondering if there is a dog
the Buddhists wonder
about the Buddha nature of the dog
the evangelicals are sure that there is a dog
and you must follow their dog
or go to hell
for following another's dog
the Muslims agree
there is only one dog
and the dogs
smile at the foolishness
of the human race
of course, there is a dog
and they are the master race
as they growl at their owners
who bow down
and clean up their mess
Signs of the apocalypse are a fundamental part of the Christian faith,
Insomuch that the Bible forewarns of its inevitability.
God's judgment of Man shall come to pass, and although
No man shall know when that reckoning will come,
Some believe that the end times are upon us now.
Only God and His Son, Jesus, know when, but there shall be signs;
False prophets will say, "I am the Christ," and deceive many souls.
There will be wars and rumors of wars; nations shall rise against nations;
Humanity shall suffer chaos, famine, pestilence, and earthquakes, and
Everywhere, Christians shall be martyred for their faith.
These signs are but the beginnings of Man's sorrows;
Iniquity shall abound, and the love for thy neighbor shall run cold.
Many shall hate their brothers and betray one another.
Evangelicals shall preach prophecy, unto all nations;
Signifying the end times, while Christians prepare for the rapture.
In the land of milk honey and hate
The Evangelicals sealed it fate
Demanding its citizens religiosity
Inherent of its edits misogyny
Women second class Taliban
Treated as a form of contraband
The Oligarch fomented dissent
While the peasants paid their rent
The war machine marched along
Its armies played King Kong
It became the land of moral decay
A nation that had lost its way
There was no moral authority
They cheated and groped with impunity
The story of Sodom and Gomorrah biblical sense
The inability of repentance
Turned to a statue of stone
The truth as it was shown
America may suffer the same fate
Evangelicals at the pearly gate
Lust, greed and debauchery
A government in the troughs of tyranny
Vulgar and uncouth pronouncement of discourse
A divided nation without remorse
Plotting tax break for the most wealthy
Eliminating healthcare for the poor and unhealthy
America calls itself a Christian nation
Christ called for the lest of you participation
Hedonism in the land of the free
God have mercy
Honey,
why do alcohol-baptized evangelicals
develop addictions to oil-and-gas extractive economics?
I don't know, dear.
Perhaps the same reason that THC pagans
sprout Earth Day cooperative democracies?
Maybe.
Or maybe there's something in the coffee.
And the herbal tea.
Sarah Palin
a minimum of intellect, a maximum of wailin'
the one thing she's good for
is what most evangelicals claim they have never stood for.
They’re so catty, nosey and intentional
The fiery furness engulfs and surrounds them
Where’s their sanity and vital point?
