Two millenia past, and more.' A night gathering of the
Sanhedrin, which is i beleive of un-law? So not by day under
Gods sun, as Gid advised Moses, justice should be seen to
Be done, Yeshua knew that wrong would be done He also
Knew His accusers ' everyone' tortured and crucified unto
Death, just after forgiving His tormentors, he gave His last
Breath' He was taken down 'His body intact' no bones
Were broken. and such is the fact.' They took His body to
Josephs tomb, wrapped Him and left, they were full of
Gloom.' Yet Jesus In spirit went to hell, in the lowest depths
Did He show and tell ' many beleived and hastened to His side ' He ascended with them to our Father, the Word holds
No lies.' And then great power filled that room all of a sudden a light Intense, etched His form into those sheets.'
There is blood that has been traced and Its living still.' So We hear now my people a great light shone, enough power To shake the earth through the bedrock shows, and so now on to this one' His photo was taken, how typical said the athiest yet His Father
Could have had no camera..' As they were not invented
I hope my point is well taken.?

Poets of convenience
reality to sway
A stain that lasts forever
excuses not parlayed
“Thou Shalt Not Kill” long spoken
ancient law upon the land
Religious, secular, or more’ bound
the truth has one command
A billion screaming babies
by curettes scraped away
As smug self-righteous killers
demand to have their way
The pathway to eternity
lined with voices put to death
“Thou Shalt Not Kill” their epitaph
—damning your last breath
(St. Josephs University: September, 1972)

Martin left long ago
all hoped say Luther will come
but all these ills
proves there isn't any Elisha
or say mantle never fell
oh no not in this part of the world
if ever it did
oh! not a portion, nor a double
the labour of our heroes past
had for long been in vain
because the had no apprentice
they never wanted any?
or non was willing to let go
and even me
am not an exception
though I have my perception
hear it
I have your attention
bear it
i love nelson
surnamed Mandela
his bio of bravery
told a dozen times
only shake heads
but not hearts
still blame no one
cus shackles
aren't the same these days
we care not the josephs
afraid to dream big
from prison to palace?
these new Pharaohs
would never share their office
bulls everywhere
kings of the ring
fools here and there
they have died a thousand times
because the fear
to take the bull by the horn
though am not excluded
still am not deluded
I only don't have heart to fight
but hands to write

Dirran-bandi Paddy
Paddy Stewart from the Dirran,
drove them cattle in the truck,
up and down ole Balonne, the river,
where the Yellow Bellys suck, …..fish
narrow bridge a coming down,
bloody car will sideswipe me,
looking swerving dodging past,
need a bloody. Wee. Wee, We, …..piddle
bloody flat tyre on the truck,
Ninga Ning Josephs, plurry luck,
bleedin from the nose a lot ,
struggling with the wheel he got,
ole Sherriff arrives with bloody help,
ripped up Nellys petticoat,
driving it up his snozza a bit, ….nose
wedged screwdriver bulging it,
till blood from brain, the blood forgot.
So he didn’t bleed to death…
