there are so many Pharisees in churches,
exhibiting hypocrisy and lies.

their knowledge they're happy to parade,
but not His holy image they...

God Shrugs"It's time to shut it down, my Lord,

and thousands more are jailed.
And jail just makes them meaner,
their hearts are filled with hate.
They're cesspools filled with violence

LandscapesHow happy can one be?
Ofentimes, I wonder aloud,
Taking advantage of my creative licence.
Let me explain -
The filth I encounter in this city:
Stinking garbage hills along the sidewalks,
Bloody graffiti of betel-nut stains on walls and lampposts,
Jellying...

What More Am IThe glamour of their squalor is found
in specular highlights of crisp brown eyes
peering through mud-matted hair, crying.
Weeks of eating an abundance of whatever,
which consisted of scarcely more than bugs
fished from non-potable cesspools.
A decade seems...

Killing Me With Your SexyKilling me with your sexy
Yall killing me.
Contrived lust, mirrors with dust.
Love covered with smoke.
Flame of innocence choked.
Smothered in the womb,
Never to be born.
Deliberately sexy; too much.
Too messy.! The mother of harlots.
Vagaries leading nowhere, wandering
Into cesspools...
