Protennoia On a Tree Branch

I, the holy spirit, sat on my branch to watch my seed of light
This song came from me, and I made breath for my seed to eat
I fluttered to where they now live, which is the land of the five trees



Inspired by this section of the Trimorphic Protennoia: “The voice came through me. I created breath in my people. And I cast the eternally holy spirit into them, and I ascended and entered my light. I got on my branch and sat among the children of holy light. And I withdrew to where they lived."

Written In First Person

Filled with joy, you heart won't be,
until surrendering your life to me.
a gift was I to all mankind,
I healed the Leper and the Blind.

The lame I made to rise and walk,
caused even Balam's Ass to talk.
I know each time a Sparrow falls,
I know each voice that on me calls.

so many things you've seen me do,
yet doubt my doing the same for you.
What will it take to make you see?
To turn from sin and worship me;

I gave my life on the cross that day,
so you from sin could have a way.
Through contrite heart you can receive,
if on the name of Jesus you believe.

Free Cee I Am a Pacifist and Will Kill the First Person Who Says I Am Not

I'M A PACIFIST AND WILL KILL THE FIRST
         PERSON WHO SAYS I'M NOT
The moon was in the center of the sky when I heard her scream
so she told me about her horrible dream
it is a venture I am forbidden to describe to anyone
but it involved and ex-lover, tears and a gun

the gun, in her dream, was as real as my friend freds
and in the dream someone ended up dead
who died is something I cannot reveal
all I can say is the dream to her was ultra real

so I heard her scream in the middle of the night
she doesn't remember what she told me about fright
my sweet put it out of her mind and Rolodex 
and if her dream had been real he would be more than her ex

I would have stood up for my lover even if she was wrong
because i'll bet you dollars to donuts he's not that strong
let me meet him in the street somewhere someday
and her dreams like that one will fade away
