YESHUA
His name was Yeshua, the legitimate, not immaculate,
scion of a young Jewish couple named Miriam and Yosef and surely
a brown-haired, brown-eyed Middle-Eastern man, sun-bathed and beige,
raised in the traditions of Abraham and Moses, David and...

Goodbye, Cruel Colleague
Appearance was your entire routine.
But truth is found if one looks deep enough.
A walking good first impression machine,
Yet something else when we cut through the fluff.
If not a teammate, what is a colleague?
No possible chance...

Earth Does Not Revolve
One day, watching a reddened evening sky
over the western horizon, it’s peculiar though,

Show Me Television
The era of catatonic self-destruction has risen yet again from boulder-blocked caves,
Whose cavernous stalactite incisors drip with the blood of thorny crowns,
Worn in punitive irony for the subversion of fertile inferiority,
Which, like rabbits, duplicates and...

To Each His Own
My sister and I have different personalities
Never alike, two peas from the same pod,
but not germinated for the same Winter crop.
We never argue over mundane trivialities.
I like halibut, but she always chooses cod,
and I prefer...

Paranoia Strikes Deep
I have dug this one out of the poetry attic; composed when a teen, hence the dated references. Fellow Soupers of my age-group (60 in a few weeks- Yikes!) might enjoy it:

Clouds Of the Future in the Present Day Part 2
..continued from Part 1:
Mass censorship
is sadly all pervasive
to the uninformed
and relative luxury
smitten blind,
A World view bubble,
Idolatry, Idiocracy
Creates all sorts
of trouble
Stems from all sorts of
unexplained places,

Inanevilpredatorialmendacity
What a slap in the face!
It’s an international disgrace!
(Descriptive distraction)
and (subversion in action)
It’s now commonly used in parlance by judiciary
while in literature this prevalent (lie) I see.

In the Guise of Loved
Substitution in the guise of love
deceit for a life time
for all the things they want

Media
press ganged or poetry
head on collision with the truth

Living Dead
A vast multitude adorn in dregs purloining,
Fashionable filth clocked with piety,
Showmanship on sacred alters,
Multitude of compromised public orators.
Fair formalities of professors void of sincerity,
A subtle subversion of ancient landmark.

The Paraclete's Path
As the devil roams the earth, sometimes
believing church folk depend on other
Christians for support during occasions of

errantly choosing the wrong paths
forgetting that I have professed
God as the One on...

A Crab Story
Once there was an imperative need
for the little crabs in the bucket indeed:

An Antiquated Being
In an orb of knowledge, walks a colored girl.
Her celestial being is ethereal.
Abreast is she of her past but fragile to the imminence.
Her strides are hindered because once she was poor and her life was...

Not the Jesus You Were Looking For
The Living God has moved on
Jesus in his memory, cherry taillights
Receding down a long desert highway
Jesus’ words were, and still are,
The only true gold
The ones that were actually his
All else is ruse

The whole world knows that
Adding vinegar to chips and fish
Turns the whole offering into
An almost Earth shattering dish,

How many people realise
The amazing effect to be had
