Spiritual Mahjong Your Move Lord

Spiritual Mahjong
Your Move Lord

Is there a God?
A benevolent entity.
An eternal presence presiding over me.
A creator, watching and observing.
All knowing.
Is my end determined and conclusive before it begins, before I begin?

I believed in Jesus, a man of love,
But scared to death...

With powers charged to shake the sky,
By moody swings of gods up high,
Their breath alone enraged and bold.

In the dark of night history spoke,
Of a world alive...

War Is a War Crime

Once wars were fought with sticks and stones
to flog the flesh and batter bones
and conquer lands, defending thrones -
though gods provoke, not one atones. 

The multitude (by hordes beset
with battle-ax or bayonet)
braved blades, dyed red...

Severe Surge Regarding Thou Shalt Not Kill Violations

Severe surge regarding thou shalt not kill violations

Born of impending need, a weird form—

Eyes burning yellow, like a raging storm.

Uncertain she stood facing what was South,...

Amidst, thy gently sloping curves, hymns of harmony praise...

Beyond Death's Honor and Disgrace

Alpha

we must know life beyond honor and disgrace.

Not "must" in the injunctive sense of "thou shalt"
but Earth's more dusty must 
of ecological integrity.

Midway

Those who know do not speak
beyond active listening communion.
Those who...
