Neither a fable, 
Nor a tale, 
This is a fact,
A story to tell,
To everyone, female and male.

Between the carnivorous chains of Françafrique,
In an open-air dumpster,
Where tyranny, barbarity, and savagery speak with arrogance.
I am perfumed with all the nauseating scents of misery.
I grew up under the...

An extra shot of whiskey,
To keep my hands steady,
A potent dosage of psycho,
To kill everyone in this fermented grotto,
A torrent of tears,
To drown my homicidal regrets and masochistic fears.

9/28/21


It's been tough and humbling
Just the truth, not a dark picture that I'm coloring
People coming up to me
With a look that is puzzling
Telling me how my words have been troubling
I said, "Do you have any...

Rising from the desert sand
was a shimmering mirage
of a thousand shouts
	Heated winds of fanaticism,
	intense and blowing violently loud
Shrill calls to blood prayer seethe,

a scarlet...

On all these battlefields, shrill howls,
 Corpses riddled with rotting bullets,
 Abandoned tanks on fire,
 Under this black sky of mourning, where death makes its home.
 Where love has vanished from all these hearts darkened...

Deprecated charity,
By deranged personalities.

Appeasing now a mindless guise -
Alternative truth's specious...

Jesus became a curse for those-
All who call upon His name.
He died for our sin, then arose,
Our lives He fought to reclaim.

Isaiah 53 foretold
His commitment to God's will.
