The Jewish Man of War
Jesus was a pacifist, this we are told,
And that’s the story that’s been sold.
Some of the names surrounding his cause,
Demonstrate behavior to give this pause.
Simon Zelotes is one of the names,
That give us the reality of these aims.
Zelotes means zealot, and these men wanted,
To kill the Romans and were undaunted,
About wanting the violent overthrow,
And giving the Romans their final death blow.
And Judas Iscariot is another of these,
Whose name was altered only to please,
The masses who wanted Jesus as a pacifist,
But had to disguise this violent activist.
Sicariot means “dagger man”, with their own crusades.
Those who killed Romans with hidden blades.
And the name Iscariot has always been,
An unknown issue and believers chagrin.
Now we come the the Gethsemane garden,
Where Simon Peter gets a full pardon,
For lopping off a Roman’s ear,
And doing so without much fear.
But attacking a Roman soldier was a major crime,
And you’d be killed in a very quick time.
But Peter got to live his life,
And entered not his afterlife.
But there’s more to this tale that causes worry.
Carrying a sword would cause a scurry.
A sword was strictly a weapon of war,
Carried by Romans whom the Jews did abhor.
But seemingly here not unusual at all
And would have resulted in Peter’s downfall
Making this entire incident a complete oddball.
Finally the men on both sides of Jesus,
On their crosses, both quite grievous,
Were not thieves as the tale is told.
No one was crucified for steeling some gold.
The only reason one hung on a cross,
Was insurrection against Rome and and not the gloss,
That they were thieves being killed
For common crimes that they fulfilled.
So with this reality, we should agree,
The story is not what they claim it to be.
Jesus was not the Prince of Peace
But a rebel Romans could not release.

Melanie !!!, Melanie !!!, Melanie !!!
What has taken you to the edge ???, again !!!
What is dragging you into that abyss ???
Why are you slipping back into that black hole ???
What is it ??? causing you such pain !!!
What is it ??? we are seeming to miss !!!,
that is ripping you apart, steeling your soul !!!
From this self-destructive behavior, you need to refrain !!!
You need to get beyond !!!, find some bliss !!!
Find some answers, come to know
the amount of stress, the amount of strain
you are inflicting within your body, for you can kiss
it all goodbye if you soon do not let it all go !!!

I’m always there, the mask of bravery
steeling your spine,
fixing a smile on your face
Then suddenly I turn and
I’m the Protector,
claws slashing
teeth snarling
Then the Comforter,
soft and soothing
Then the Sentinel
stoically keeping guard
with the Brave mask not far,
...not far
lingering below the surface
Sometimes you feel
you’ve worn this mask of Bravery
so long it won’t come off,
and you wonder,
Where is the Dreamer?
The Poet?
The Child?
The wild impulsive Spirit?
They’re here...
Just waiting for you.
Be Brave
....change the Mask.

April fools' day - ordinarily all manner of tomfoolery abounds
Written/updated since last year
unlike any other
when out of this world
outlandish accouterments
people did wear
hermetically sealed
of even faintest tear
to avoid contamination
against coronavirus pandemic
air supply difficult to spare
when wing and prayer
soul saving amazing grace
frankly against scalpers, marauders,
and fraudsters steeling
themselves to profiteer.
Pandemic straps tightly
plied girded beltway
unlike any other All fools day
in annals of recorded ("fake") history
western civilization tapestry doth fray
April first two thousand and twenty four
neigh, no time for horseplay
what with coronavirus (COVID-19)
boarded ship of jilted fools
(think *****sapiens)
barred courtesy omnipotent jackstay
furloughed workers analogous
grumpy minions lay
dwarfed by unfortunate global events, née...
germinating, jackknifing, and wreaking havoc
Mother Earth nonchalantly toying
(indiscriminately) regarding humanity
as bestrewing bajillion biohazards berserkly
bequeathing bedlam child's play
just desserts, she doth understandably repay
man/womankind flicked as flotsam and jetsam
vile treatment diabolically heaped,
jubilantly loosed, maniacally pitched
upon her terrestrial firma oy vey
she chokes, gags, laughs raspily yea
rebuffs, refuses, and renounces further abuse.
Nevertheless toothless gumption, albeit feeble
fighting spirit, her survival instincts assail
cumulative environmental destruction
triggered casus belli expelling deadly toxins,
when Gaia doth exhale
since onset of global interregnum
(think virulent spreading poisonous Kudzu
like wildfire biohazard)
since world wide webbed disease
brought grinding halt
consumerist paradigm in lockdown,
nonetheless within brief interim
noticeable clearer air to inhale
amazingly enough postal system...
intact voila... uninterrupted delivery of mail,
the daily highlight experienced
among people emotionally crippled
pasty faced and pale
finds quivering Captain Kangaroo
plus good n plenti proud primates
each dancing and quivering
like a captive dang gulling quail.
The object of my affection
And all my hidden confessions
Can be seen as a nice view
Through a window I see through
Every night as I look
At a boy who is a crook
Steeling my heart from me
Even though he doesn't see
That I am under his spell
Wishing that I could just tell
How I feel when I gawk
Over at him as I stalk
Always watching every action
Feeling the satisfaction
I can secretly admire
The hotness of my desire
In the safety of my house
Like a quiet little mouse
Through binoculars I spot
Someone who is really hot
Every night and every day
This is where my heart will stay
Until I can find courage
To admit my heart is his
Something I'm no longer keeping
In my room---There's no more peeping
I am grieved to my core,
Is there purity anymore?
I am dodging bullets all day,
While my friends are slipping away
A dark sheet covers the eyes of man
I am living in a desolate land
The New World Order
Is steeling our sons and daughters
The god of this age
Is in a vile rage
Words are wondering in the breeze
Mankind is in a Freeze
Only you can make this right,
Only you can give me might,
Bleed out all this sorrow
Secure my tomorrow
Silence all this noise
Help me keep my poise,
The uncertainty has got me hazy,
And I know you’re not crazy,
Vindicate me, in this mess
Forgive the lies, I must confess
Evil peace is floating around
I can hear its revolting sound
As long as I’m in you
You’ll protect my every move
I can’t go back now
I already made my vow
I can’t go back now
I already made my vow.

All of this time we've been apart, I've been so very thankful for all you gave to me
With your kind heart and generous soul, you shown me love and opened my eyes so I could
finally clearly see
It was something that before or after you I've never had the chance to live
You opened my heart and soul up to more than I could have ever wished for, more than I
could ever re-pay back or to you give
I loved you then and still love you now with all I am, every fiber of my being
Look at what being apart is doing all the precious time it's steeling so why from me do you
keep fleeing
All I do for you, while you're not looking, is keep on bleeding
Because I don't know how to let go when I know down deep it's you I'm so desperately
needing
You're not getting it yet, you're not clearly seeing
You will always and forever have my heart and soul until the end of time
Those moments and memories with you I keep in a safe place, no one can ever take them
from me for they are mine
I think of you often and when I do I try to smile
Even though all the while
I'm missing and wanting you so much with every single breath I take
I will keep on doing so no matter how much I must forever forsake
I've tried to be mad at you but I just can't, my heart and head are in the same place
My heart says hold on to what you feel with all you got, my head says stay true to him
because time sets it's own pace
Everything happens in it's own moments, it's own reasons, and it's own speed
Even though everyone does it really there's never any excuses in our lives to heed
How love is supposed to happen and the where or when and even the why or who is not
something we can measure
And with that being said love is as much pain as it is pleasure
Yet, it don't matter who you are, through it all it's still something to which we all must
endeavor
I, with our love, will find and come back to you again, no matter what you believe you will
never be too careful or clever
Listen up, my daughters, let me break it down
Life's a stage, but you're not here to clown
You've got to face the music, face it strong
Face your fears, show the world where you belong
Don't let them clip your wings, wings are meant to soar
Winging it sometimes, that's what life is for
But root yourself in values, roots run deep
Rooting out the nonsense, that's wisdom to keep
Stand your ground, ground yourself in truth
Grounding your decisions, from age to youth
Rise above the noise, rise like the sun
Rising to occasions, that's how battles are won
Weather the storm, weather it with grace
Weathering criticism with a poker face
Steel your nerves, steel them like a blade
Steeling yourself for the choices to be made
Bridge the gaps, bridge them with your mind
Bridging understanding, leaving doubt behind
Scale the heights, scale them bit by bit
Scaling back expectations that don't fit
Balance your life, balance work and play
Balancing act, that's the price to pay
Weigh your options, weigh them carefully
Weighing in on issues, speak out clearly
Brave the odds, brave them with a smile
Braving new frontiers, go the extra mile
Charge ahead, charge your inner battery
Charging through obstacles, set your spirit free
Light your path, light it with your dreams
Lighting up the darkness, nothing's as it seems
Fuel your passions, fuel them day and night
Fuelling your ambitions, keep your goals in sight
Don't be too rigid, rigid minds will break
Rigid rules are meant for you to shake
Be flexible, flexible like a reed
Flexing your strength, that's what you'll need
Channel your emotions, channel them right
Channeling energy into your fight
But don't let them flood, flood your rationality
Flooding your judgment leads to fatality
Remember, my daughters, life's a complex game
Gaming the system isn't the aim
Aim for integrity, aim for what's true
Aiming high, that's what you should do
So face the world, face it head-on
Facing challenges, that's how you'll grow strong
The ball's in your court, court success with zeal
Courting life's adventures, that's the real deal
Now go forth, my daughters, write your story
Story of courage, rationale, and glory
Storying your journey with each passing day
Journeying forward in your unique way
A Frenchmen’s Hell Nothing More
David J Walker
No father
Please I pled
It was only a dream
Nothing more
About mesquit trees
Turning themselves into mustang ponies
Nothing more
Running wild and free on a drunkards horizon
A prairie’s floor
The fences strengthened
The three gates tightened
hanging
post to post to post
Nothing more
Now
About the horse’s corral
a few paces from the barn
You could see
It was only me
Painting curses in Spanish because I knew
The obscene verses Could be far worse
Because the Mustangs could read them
And laugh at my bad Spanish grammar
Still
They got the picture
Nothing more
to the story except
It’s why I stayed awake past midnight
And snapped the bullwhip ever so often
Cracking a warning into a southwest wind
Blowing warm its warning in naked numbness
Nothing more
Except, father
The mustangs might win the fight and send
The souls of our stallions into a Frenchmen’s Hell
falsely claiming the birthright of the foal
A bleak sight
In starlight
The dark night before
The next daylight slowly begins
Folding into a new beginning
Hiding the various meanings of freedom
demanding variant forms to consider
as if daybreak was the dawn
of another committee meeting
But father
In the dream, I become the thief in the night
Steeling a Mustang away from its herd
Calling it my own
He hates me and I know
he always will
He loves the way I ride like no other
as if in stride
With the wind and then
steal the will of the condemned
Sending us both to a Frenchmen’s hell
Just as well
Father
Just as well
Please don't take
What's not yours
Because I need it
And don't think
Your welcome to
What is mine
I've worked hard
Earning all
These sad feelings
And I'm steeling memories and time
I'm steeling memories
One string at a time
It cries out with heartache
It bends and it whines
This old Emmons pulls
And it pushes real fine
So please take your memories
Cause I'm steeling mine
Tomorrow she said
I would be
Over her
That pain goes away
And So does the hurt
But I know
the reason
I love rhythms and rhyme
It's because
I steel memories
One note at a time
I'm steeling memories
One string at a time
It cries out with heartache
It bends and it whines
My old Marlen pulls
and releases with time
The heartaches and sadness
That still live
In my mind
I sat down at my 10 string
Grabbed my pedal and slide
I used my many heartaches
To make each of them cry
So please don't you steal
What I feel is mine
As I pour out the heartache
On that E9
Don't feel for my heartache
Cause I'll be just fine
I'm steeling memories.....
Cause you'll never be mine...
