red ink spilled around?
hundred hearts bleeding hugely?
masterminded murder?
why does orange peep?
why does bold black blink about ---
midst mild melodies...?
rainbow reigns the realm
migratory birds fly back ---
humming souls in huts

Godhead* Trinity

Incarnated Son reached down from heaven
Holy Spirit convicts sinners for repentance
wondrously granting
everlasting l i f e
security assured.
Grateful worship
Faithful service

trusting blessed Lamb and Holy Ghost

Sovereign Trinity.

(Civil) War
With incision, create division.
Bury the red, white, and blue.
Play them all, they will fall.
A masterminded coup.
O say can you see, they all disagree.
Just watch the division grow.
Hating each other, brother on brother.
Milk and honey no longer flow.
Blood in the street, vision complete
War won, by words on the net.
So easy to do, nothing is true
Fake news a sharp bayonet.

Gaelic must go, the British Government ruled
They took our lands away
Banned the pipes and wearing of the tartan
But our memory holds to this day
Our strong sense of lineage, it’s influence is vast
Traceable back to Somerled
Who masterminded the Viking outcast
Ours is a land steeped in hospitality and charm
Home to the eagle and the wild deer
The mountains, lochs, islands and moors are a celebration
Of what the Gaels hold dear
A strong new generation of Gaeldom has now grown
Out from ages past
It’s seeds of genealogy have been sown

I HATE HER LOVE
you mud me with words
from the deepest part of your heart
i love the way you strain
but i don't deserve it really
you have forgotten the meaning of love
you have masterminded the meaning of sex
you strain me too much
i don't deserve it really
the riders of horses
have dirtified the house
they enter without cleaning their hooves
they leave without washing utensils
i cant afford to use the same utensils
since i don't deserve it really
i hate you hunny
to be or not to be
that is reality
since i don't deserve it really
you hold me with passion
i die in your arms
but when i come to
i regret dear
since i don't deserve your love really
the reality comes dear
because of the jagged rocks beneath
standing hard and ready to stub your unsuspected bottom
swiftly scratched by the innocent hands
but i don't
deserve it dear

It's the most terrible time of the year
With back benchers rebelling
The cabinet yelling cause Brexit is here
It's the most terrible time of the year
It's the crap-crappiest season of all
With those new trade deal meetings and racist gay beatings
and the pound starts to fall
It's the crap-crappiest season of all
There'll be Farage there gloating
As Trump starts gun toting
And immigrants out in the snow
There'll be biased news stories
Masterminded by Tories of the
strength of England long ago
It's a most threatening time full of fear
With half of Syria burning
It is getting concerning
That war could be near
It's the most threatening time filled with fear
There'll be governments falling
And Putin there calling
For marshal law out in the east
There'll be lots of land grabbing
And mucho back stabbing as
Liberalism lies there deceased
It's the most miserable time of the year
As the death toll starts growing
And cities are glowing
And apocalypse near
It's the most terrible time
Yes the most horrible time
Oh the most frightening time
Of the year....

Everything was on my case
to chase me to an early grave
Masterminded by the one
who blinded us to run for hell
So everywhichway that I turned
still led and drove me to despair
Perverse, ill-fated like a rat
with dogs in hot pursuit
no matter where
for only death was reigning there
Then
upended
shone upon
and brought up short
I was caught
by love
said yes
confessed the name, the best
and the rest
is a negative undone
I can not find a path
that does not lead me
to the Son
and everything conspires
in his plan
to count me in
a picture to be shown
of how he’s won
And what was but a morbid game
is packed into
a corner of the frame

A masterminded kingdom sets the new age rule. Two monarchs once trained to now duel. Purposes are unknown as the two take to the field. Both are field with courage and either will never yield. A lost love is the new age rage. These are men ready to battle full of authorized Caesar like rage. As the onslaught blood reign continues towards a man slain. This is an honored crusade with much to gain.
Many men have stepped into this ravaged battle tested field with broken hearts and lost love causing them to clash. A royal intensity spreads like a rash. The battle has now commenced. As one springs for his life the other is drenched. So who has won this skill of new age strife? All his highness wanted to do was die with his beloved wife.
His intent was never to kill, but as things got deranged it was time to take aim. This was his time to mane. Bloody and battered the king is sought with new age worship. This is something he will equip for his reign is no longer in need of a pistol grip.

He masterminded the human race
and made our home to be
His place.
Outside His garden
the hungry crave
the fruit of life
not knowing…
He left His grave
clothes in the tomb
and in His life
there is a womb
where thirst is quenched.
With open arms
He welcomes all
and spreads a feast
that shatters walls
around the heart.
A storehouse rich
with special gifts
grows His love
to heal the rifts
and like the hen
who gather’s her chicks
He lights the wicks
of kinsmanship.
He masterminded the ancient plan
to bring together from every land
the choicest gifts:
flowers of earth immortalized
filled with power
to be bouquet'd
ribboned with the blood of grace.
He Masterminded the Master's race.

Sweet genocide,
Destroyers of all if you must,
masterminded behind none I lust for - one- money,
its my drug getting high on what I can accomplish
in this lifetime, choosing to just do it!
getting it done pardon me for this imagination,
of mine I must say at one point and time it was ilke I was blinded now
twisted faith has me going,
I'm searching for what mankind holds all over the world,
known too man as Money on stacks on racks on top of racks needing a ladder just
see where my money begins at.
Sweet Genocide

EMOTIONS
emotions:
Universal language of
The subconscious,
Unprocessed feelings of
Inner self
Your thunderous silence
Supersedes any utterance
The conscious can offer
Bringing thus understanding
To the hearts and minds of
Men
Blessed is the one who the
Plethora of your expressions
Can master
Be he a learned man or a
Layman
For the truth hidden in
The hearts and minds he
Can decipher
Thus
Brute honesty can prevail
Over embellished utterances masterminded
By
The diplomatic conscious

Flashback to '95 one year before you were born.
You know what happened to your momma involving all the hate?
Love's in the air, at least that's what she thinks.
Right around the corner she got raped and you soon to be born.
Come back to reality and now you're breathing through a tube with a damp cloth on your
forehead.
"Pulse is back to normal" is what you hear.
What you see you can't believe!
He's right there next to you praying like monk!
Was this a trick? He. Of all people.....was praying for you?
Start to shake but you know you're a different person now.
Your heart reaches out to touch him and it says thanks.
You're a different person now.
No strings behind my masterminded plans.
Not even a henchman to do your dirty work.
I kill, I murder, I slaughter all in real time and just in time for dinner time.
I'm stilling working at this hour? How many dead bodies have I collected?
I don't remember a thing. Just the game being turned off by my mom.
