Various Heresies 12
Various Heresies 12 God Had a Plan by Michael R. Burch God had a plan though it was hardly “divine.” He created a terror: Frankenstein. He blamed death on man: was that part of the plan so hard to define, or did he just cut his losses? Now sleepless he tosses hearing the screams, the wild anger and fear of men in despair.

The Heretical
Good at assembling spiritual mishmash, High expectations raising for big cash In the open for Despair full fury: The demons behind them for his jury… Chooser of the Language of Pentecost He may have acquired at a great cost: Body movements take on the pugilist’s For all Contrary Spirits’ flying fists! No vows made he wouldn’t try kung-fu kicks, His smarter left leg...

Premium Member Hymn
Jesus was a carpenter, he worked with saw and hammer. He pounded, banged, for 20 years, it was an awful clamor. Then he spent three years a'preachin', he never had a stammer. At last they nailed him to a cross, nevermore to yammer....

Pagans Protest the Intolerance of Christianity by Michael R. Burch “We have a common sky.” — Quintus Aurelius Symmachus We had a common sky before the Christians came. We thought there might be gods but did not know their names. The common stars above us? They winked, and would not tell. Yet now our fellow mortals claim our questions merit hell! The cause of our damnation? They...

Crescendo Against Heaven
Crescendo Against Heaven by Michael R. Burch As curiously formal as the rose, the imperious Word grows until its sheds red-gilded leaves: then heaven grieves love’s tiny pool of crimson recrimination against God, its contention of the price of salvation. These industrious trees, endlessly losing and re-losing their leaves, finally unleashing themselves from earth, lashing themselves to bits, washing themselves free of all but the final ignominy of death, become at...

I Am
I am not one of ten billion—I— sunblackened Icarus, chary fly, staring at God with a quizzical eye. I am not one of ten billion, I. I am not one life has left unsquashed— scarred as Ulysses, goddess-debauched, pale glowworm agleam with a tale of panache. I am not one life has left unsquashed. I am not one without spots of...

A Narrow Way :(Heretical View)
There was a humble man in empathy with cosmic light, who in desert climes filled his head with stars at night, distilling their bright beauty to shine within his mystic soul, in rays of old, blue wisdom, reminded him, of how their sight had arrived from their long, long journey to the magic in his own eyes : Some called him Christ. Nonduality imbued him from above and...
