Interdict Poems

My Opinion About Contraception

Men have begun to predict
That I shall self contradict,
Next, in church my interdict,
To be not saved by Edict:
My Governor  Soldier friend’s,
Both of us Christ’s truest fiends…
 
Still say I: Contraception, 
A clear wished interception
Of what you’d stop inception,
For what it does Perception,
Minds granting New Conception:
Fluid Baby’s barred reception…
Choice yours and mine to scream “Foul!”
Or think we’d slaughtered a fowl.

Must we each wrong publicize,
When Besought God knows its size?

Hardest Advice I - Pastor Deo - Gave a Woman

I
If you defended your purity and your Christian womanhood as you quickly defend your grown children, you would be used mightily by our Trinity (our Triune Godhead: Father Son Spirit)

II
A daughter in her twenties had a court interdict (protection order) against her for going to mom's boyfriend's home & compelling mom to come home. At the same time that daughter & boyfriend made out at their home almost daily when mom came from work. Mom would not allow any to criticize Emilio's affair with her daughter anyway!

III
The son, over 18, was threatened at gunpoint by a local dad not to "jol with my daughter." Mom went after that man, Alister.

Wendolene Warrior In Jesus

I
We make much of forgiveness; there's joy in receiving
Until I loved Wendolene, I had not been forgiven
Not in this way: I am able to believe Jesus, the Bible,
Moreso now, because I have received from Wendolene
Love AND GRACE. Siblings, love without grace is a shell!

II
Yes, I did not change; I still speak truth to power -
Even to all our children (blended family?) young, cocksure ...
Yet, pastoral-caregiver I am, I wait long before coming strong
With the Word of God, the Sword of the Spirit; equal as we are
Radical Equality before God as sinners (if you prefer, prone to error)

III
Yes, Wendolene showed her loyalty through highs and lows
If truth be told, her grown child needed a court interdict, Protection!
We stood for the right: to teach limits, respect others' rights also
She loves the LORD Jesus. Finally, I can pray as family, Unison
Not perfect, either, but strong in the armor of God, daily in His Word

Past To Whisper

PAST TO WHISPER

           Charisma of your dreamy eyes alluring enchanting me.
             Feeling helpless how to restrain
              but just to rush on dynamism.

          Your ethereal smile mesmerizing me.
           Throbbing pulsation trembling in thrill.
             Yet heart to wobble, mind to dither.
             Vulnerable ambient how to interdict!
            
          Is it permissible or a blunder?
       How to decide yet eager soul ready to surrender.
       Touched your finger to shiver in every limb
          Lingering urge surging.
               Passion surpassing emotion.
                    Quiescent thirst how to quench!
                          Why hesitation!

           Reminiscences pulling behind,
            but bygone days not to rewind. 
           Dormant remembrances unfurling drooped petals.
             How to wave farewell to my lost dreams!
           Forgotten past still whispering.

Four Walls

These four walls mean freedom, 
From the rain, suffrage and the stains, 
Liberty from oppression and religion, 
To make other songs and trains. 

No austere twangs or cold voice, 
No dais glutes or traditional figure;
My structure has form and choice, 
In my bedroom, my configure. 

Free will is in-built and innate, 
No-one can deprive you of it, 
That i exist with actions which state, 
However small, gives me interdict. 

My arms act, and my legs move too, 
And my opinions can act to prohibit, 
Sadness in someone’s eyes in lieu, 
Or capitalism’s theft and unfair sit. 

I was wrought by conversations, 
With my brother inside four walls, 
And there can be no revisions, 
Or bargaining situation stalls. 

You can take back deeds by words, 
But words can’t be retracted,
And even though they can be swords, 
They can still be propitiated. 

What was said in that room was said, 
Truth bloomed as a daffodil shines, 
So if your culture’s just wrong, red, 
You have your four wall enshrines.

Self Inflicted - a Suicide Story

Ability to face his fears, gone!
Bewitched by a demon for so long.
Could not conceive a positive thought.
Doom and dread was all he sought.

Echoing hallucinating voices in his mind.
Friendships meaningful, he could not find.
‘Go ahead, end it now!’…. 
He’d hear them say.
Interdict he should live to see another day.
 
Just then, he concluded what to do.
‘Kill myself undoubtedly, then I’ll stop feeling blue’.
Longing though to change his mind.
Moods flared up, of every kind.
Never had he felt this low.
Only solution is to merely let it go.

Pick a course; blade, gun or poison?
Quickest approach, without a reason!
Reflecting nothing, he simply acted.
Sanguinary wound, self-inflicted!
Thoughts of despair as he laid there bleeding.
Utter commotion, so very misleading.

Veils of black line the chapel floor.
Weeping eyes, dry no more.
Xylophonic gizmos the performers played.
Yawning a soft sweet serenade.
Zany acts could not be predicted, resulting in death, ‘self-inflicted!’

What Have You Paid

Culprits

Cops are the state in uniform
Umpires bribed to play the devil's game
Law compromised by blind norm
Police that brings democracy to shame
Revenue and bribe are human flaws
Interdict this justice and free the poor
Trodden down by the oppressors'cause.
Shame on your silence, your dinner of gore!

                        ii 

Is this revenge for tresspassing at a tree
Or for the cross our fee
I am not candidate for earth's mystery
My solution is no more misery.
What have we become, have gone back
To the primeval night
The bruising dungeon and the gory rack?
So much of trust in flight
From policemen doing political cleansing
And tending lame excuse
The curriers of the guns are pretending
The law inflicts on us abuse.
There goes the wachman, there goes crime
The killer killing all the time.
