That all things of God, which then of good will

Cento One: “Shadows of Deceit” 
In eldritch times, 
Ori's companions did weave a tangled web of guile,

The moving finger writes and having writ
moves on. And that's the bitter core of it.

Dear Satan,
You are a formidable foe, I grant you,
For you confuse the Body of Christ, my Body into hating itself, reified and 
fractured into tormented factions on my cross,
For you confuse my Children into doubting...

Evil beast animals now rule the Earth
Peaceful human beings

In constant danger from the archers’ grip,
the meek souls pray always to God

It’s time to get rid of it, just to be clear

Smiling Spitting Deadly Sins

Son of the Devil evil and twisted when his mask falls away
Through the curtains of death he turns truth into dark lies

HIDDEN AGENDA:

It's on record,
Stripping naked in a rainfall. 
A prelim lost of freedom,

to intoxicate what’s left of one’s
bewildered brain.
My sight!  Shackled to the

when leading one’s head through each
enigmatic juncture.
My ears!  Burn with...

THE THREE STOOGES

With their lunatic style of slapstick
These old favourites made their mark
Bangs on head, eye pokes and arse kicks
Were transformed to works of art
