at  the  entrance   to   the  drive-in church   the road  divides   deceptively

the  sign  signals  divisive  directions  but  mediates  midway  at  midnight

Saviour salvation spirit		                    Satan superstition sacrilege 

God giving guidance 			                        gluttony greed gyrations

resurrection    rejuvenation    revelations   agnostics   atheism   antitheses

righteousness   roadside  assistance  available  ‘enter  at  your  own   peril’

prayers   pious   power  soda pop  popcorn   psychedelics  putrid  paranoia 

temple tables terra-firma		                  trivia temptation tribulations

selfless sacred sustenance		                       slivering snake salivating

the  slow-motion picture  posits  poignant  perusal  but it’s a  silent  movie

apart from back seats groaning settling for sex  sperm and  splits  sheaths

scripted sanguine suggestions                            sighs salubrious screams 

sanctimony shelter serenity		           suffering secrets sneakiness

spare me  serpent and ravaging rod please hit me with your  rhythm  stick

appease  the  apple  anchor my  appetite  avert my  agonizing  aspirations

Eve  enters the epic  production while  Mary Magdalene  marries  measure

suddenly  the  speaker  system sounds  in  supersonic  spectacle’s squeals

sheep and shepherd apparition or angels dreams or duped delirious dance

purity pinnacles pentacles                 punishment penetration perspiration

chaste cinematic celebrations 	              cradling caresses X rated cross

on  the  way  home  the bubble  and the tyres burst into  almighty  shreds

but the spare  rubber  went  missing  and God works in  mysterious  ways

Its Human Yo

Since remarks from the T.V, and a stocking of my soul to breathe... 

I relax eagerly when I await the heat and see that nothing come's out of me unless I can be free-

now they said in many many books that this is how we plead,

the defiance of a boarder stronger and foreigner as the hoarder from outer space descends,

but like my mentor contends with me as I ease into the heavenly shrine above mine,

I allow for only a sanctimony of time, 

like I would wonder if my gun no longer shined- 

and my face only ate pine, 

and my body enveloped love of binds rather than the free floating chime...

I was a walker and yet no more than the other stalker a boat bought in a saunter.

The Awakening Call

In the society where holiness is worshipped,
And independent progressive thinking is condemned.
Be the fire of positivity, illuminating in all its glory,
Strong enough to burn any shackles of bigotry.

In the society, where mythologies are adored,
But people who actually follow the principles are abhorred.
Be the sun that overshadows all sanctimony,
Magnanimous enough in soul to establish harmony.

In the society where people are reduced to mere numbers,
And forcibly caged in narrow walls of encumbers.
Be the phoenix that shatters the glass walls of subjugatory,
Uniting them all to form an eternal, unyielding potential sanctuary.

In the society, where toxicity and oppression have become the norm,
And vital nutrition of the spirit is treated like utter luxury.
Be strong enough to uphold truth and demolish the demon in every form,
Giving voice to millions and saving faith in nature's divine perennialities.

Recognition

First off-
you're E~did,

fawned like frozen in a wrong beam of time-

God is only justified by his own usury,

and we don't do the forgotten as a figurine...

We all are falling,
forwardly and softly forestalled,

faked,

forgiving four fickle frogs,

finding our fifty nine frot foe,

just as we fizzle the fantastic flowing fight, fitted-

if that's enough to gloat see me stuck in the next simple dictionary-

having nothing to say to the ears of men who listen,

children who dream,

women who can misinterpret.

Sleeping is optional,

sojourn is an ancient land full of those flaws,

free,

we are not this-
fleet,

we are so fast at adeptly encouraging the sanctimony of the next...

Premium Member AN ACHE


   Acquainted ! Attracted ! I adore you, Hello Miss !
   Beautiful  bud of love bloomed in bliss.

   Cheered ! Charmed ! Caring craving on your charisma.
   Dedicated ! Drank dreamy desires drowning in dilemma.

  Ecstatic emerald emotion in exciting endeavour.
  Fantastic feelings flew in fervent fervour.

  Grace and glamour in amour glowed on slat glance.
  Humble holy happy heart hiding hesitance.

  Intensive impulsive illusive instinct  instantaneous,
  Just making me jubilant jocund jolly joyous.

  Knot of allure knitted in neat plait
  Loyal liberal lavender love though not in plaint.

  Mellifluous marvellous mysterious.
  Noble nice neither shaky nor nervous.

  Overwhelmed oblate on oblivious obsession
  Pure pristine pride piercing pearly passion.

 Quivering and quavering heart to quench thirst !
 Romance in rapture rolls, ready to outburst.

 Serene sublime simple sentiment, no sanctimony.
 Thrilling, tempting togetherness ! Typical testimony.

 Urge to unravel , unleash even being unconscious.
 Vigorous in voice ! Veneration for my Valentine! Venus !

 Whirling heart with weary eyes watched you to walk away.
 ‘X ‘ : The unknown ‘love’ left unsolved in 'Xtreme dismay .

 Yearnings of youth yelled yielding yucky heart break.
 Zone of love in zest and zing  was closed on abrupt ACHE.


The Courts Martial

A tableau of brass sits with serious intent;
A Court it is of the martial bent.
And before it I stand stiff with pride,
I did my duty with nothing to hide.

My men they were , my very kind,
Hardened soldiers, the best you can find,
More than brothers of same mothers born,
Out of war's dirty entrails were we torn.

The dust of battle was scarcely settled,
By the enemy's ambush we were sorely nettled.
Then suddenly appeared a mother and son,
In my sniper scope they appeared as one.

How  unnatural was the scene to my trained eye,
One small mistake , my  comrades would die.
My heart did flutter, my finger did twitch,
I spied through the scope a dead-man's switch.

The seconds ticked by, they would be within range,
My mind clicked shut, I felt something strange.
I let out two shots, the bullets went true,
We were then evac-ed, myself and my crew.

The brass at the desk in sanctimony asked,
Tell me, my worthy, with what were you tasked?
Can you justify, the death of a child
Of his mother, or did you run wild?

I was tasked to do my duty, which I did well,
I put aside my emotions, I went through my hell;
For the life of my brothers is worth more than their wage,
And war asks no creed, no gender, no age.

Men, we are, victory and survival is our goal,
You may condemn me, the Lord will commend my soul.

Mass-Panic

Herd-mongers, schoolmarms and glorious twats
Piloting leased arks through drenched parking lots
Cadillacs cleansed of a fine week’s debris
Just in time for the polish of sanctimony

A river of swine, like the Jordan, it crosses
Over deserts of disheartened workers and bosses
The fracas of worshippers, beanied and veiled –
In the Third World, could pass for a fish market sale

There are loaves, there are nets – there’s nothing to eat
There’s so little legroom; there are beads on my seat!
There’s a mountain of missals, there’s a tower of babblers
And a nice hidden room for perpetual hagglers

There’s prime VIP seating, a great view of a tomb 
Completely adjacent to the activities room
There’s most anything anyone could need or want,
So long as it comes from a baptismal font

When in walks a figure, so stiff and ordained,
You know in a moment he must be a saint
He’ll heal a few cripples, a Lazarus or two
And distribute those wafers that keep us renewed

Then we offer up thanks to some white-beard in the ether
With all of the joy of a rheumatic fever
And spill from the pews, lemmings on marble tile
And back onto the ark for brunches-du-style 

‘cause the deluge has cornered-down many a mile
And sacrificed many a kind word and smile
Tolerance chiseled, evolution defiled –
Maybe let’s keep its hooks off the last decent child 
Tolerance chiseled, evolution defiled –
Maybe let’s keep its hooks off the last decent child.

Time To Die

When hope is lost and love is gone.
There's just no reason to go on.
A poet's lament ain't worth a dime.
Nobody wants to hear that rhyme.

The world is for the lucky ones.
Not for those the shadow shuns.
I pray each night my soul to take.
And hope that I may not awake.

I buy my ticket in hopes I win.
But I'm still paying for my sin.
The end can't come for me too soon.
I'm tired of singing this same ole tune.

I don't want to live no more.
The sanctimony is such a bore.
So I will not apologize.
For there's more to life than being wise.

P.S. The double negative in the last verse kind of wrote itself. HMM.

Premium Member Chez Tony Food Market

Late but received her first cheque for alimony
Shot off to this new market based on a raving testimony
She circled and circled… was the ad phony?
No signs… no arrows… was it hidden this Chez Tony?
Suddenly a little hole in the wall behind some random pony!

Groceries for one, a dose of reality, the fish was bony
The smell reminiscent of rancid sanctimony
She settled for cheese and macaroni
a pound of baloney
in honour of their matrimony
and a devil cake for the irony

Babygirl, someone needs to say
you can't go on acting this way.
If you don't learn another tune,
the party will be over soon.

Rude, without a clue
know-it-all, that's you.
Good intentions aside,
you don't deserve this ride.

That phony, baloney,
holy sanctimony
is not lost on me.
Just let it be.

Insecure, immature,
but there's a cure.
Life's journey mocks
the school of hard knocks.

Daddy's spoiled child;
He always smiled.
Welcome to what's real.
How ya gonna deal?

Play it out. 
Leave no doubt.
Take a stand.
Play your hand.

So, what's up?
Go grow up.
Be a woman,
Know you can.
