Toilet Like Pilate

A facility he had not used
But about it already enthused:
A not funny challenging toilet,
Water needing like Pontus Pilate:
Just to climb it effusive pride bruised 
And when one was through with it still mused

Twelve litres of water when not late:
What one might be right to tag Plain Fate
The wildest cats would towards its slouch,
The wildest man on it limply crouch; 
Not a convenience you'd for it vouch,
Found faults in the nastiest language crouch.

Waist Bead Lover

Hey I'm not obsessed, that's not evil..
your mind is just full of evil that you can't see 
beauty in handmade.. 

Don't criticize, just look at your woman's waist 
without a waistband that's a waste of waist..

Buy her "Waist Bead", Let her glow while you stare with sensation... 

Let the vim of the waist bead vanquish the spirit of dysfunction and make you a Gladiator in the house of Pontus.. 

Let you enter the arena and battle while holding your lance like Bacca..

Let the sound of the waist bead summon the spirit of satisfaction... 

Let you be bewitched by the waist bead and have a well module immune system

But If I, With the Finger of God

The candles are extinguished today and the crucifix covered in black
for the One whos life was once bludgeoned with ignorance and greed
As He readied for heaven, he took each heavy Pontus whack
for sake of a world that could not accept nor believe, His Holy Creed

Some repented while others shouted profanities and ignored His tears
as He carried the Cross towards His final resting place, He slowly wept  
the sky, grueling  dark unbending, did not shed the rain nor smear  
while His laced up sandals  walked the sand without God's intercept
  
"But If I, With The Finger Of God," He once implied before he died  
but this was not to be, for the Son of God belonged to man's transfix  
He walked through throngs and herds as he closed the great divide  
they watched, as clustered  Halos grew around His bloodied Crucifix

But If I, With The Finger Of God could wipe away His pain
be more then just a writer recalling His death with ink and quill
The world would be changed as I know it, and He would Reign  
Yes He is the One who died but also, the One they could not kill.


Premium Member We Are Freed--

"Stop!  I come before you in earnest heed
I stand before you assault I plead
I have forgiven you for your misdeeds
You are,  I am,  we are freed, 
~Go before those who hate
Those pontus ones who think they looks great
You're selfish you abolish
You are,  I am,  we are free"
...And all I wanna be
Is in your grace
No longer slapped in the face
~Nay sayers 
Keep your salivated spit in your mouth
Hypocrite
You are, I am, we are freed"

Moon Landing

Long Term Solution 

 It has come to my attention that the moon is capable growing green 
bananas, goats and sheep but not cattle as they emit too much gas 
into the planet`s thin surface can live there.
 if we send refugees there as pioneers they are forbidden to smoke 
tobacco although, to the great surprise to the first moon lander found 
an empty packet of Camel which of course was planted there by young 
Putin to blame the USA. Also should the Settlers who make life difficult for 
the Palestinians should run out of land to a new Jerusalem can be built 
in one of the moon`s craters.
 Europe has like Pontus Pilatus washed her delicate hands of the refuge 
problem let us construct spaceships that must be paid for by migrants,
 but beware they can one day switch off the light.
