The Holy Land
The land is soaked in blood and tears
the hate is very old
Like all the ancient stories
in the Holy Bible told
Each vows to kill the other
asks their God to make it so
Their vengeance masked as prayers
consume the Holy Land of woe
No leaders can convince them
their hate like a disease
There is no cure for this old...

I Saw A Man TodayI saw a Man today as he walked the hill
Tears and drops of blood did equal spill
From brutally torn flesh and eyes of pain
I saw a Man today my inadequate refrain
I saw a Man today unjustly convicted
His trial was short and clearly scripted
The verdict assured without any proof
I saw a Man today who spoke only...

Sensitive SanctuariesWe are natural bodies outside
engaging spiritual souls inside
So also,
and with more significant integrity
in this domesticated
desecrating
lack of thriving home
We are timeless souls
with spacious bodies
Sexual souls
with sacred bodies
Sensational sages called
to musing ordinations,
sensexual singing souls
communing sacred dancing bodies
Inside pleasure history's
reweaving healthy rites
outside passion mystery's
re-ligioning wild wealth sights
Of natural wilderness bodies
restoring spiritual sanctuary souls.

In your life’s cocooning time,
Seek God’s metamorphosis:-

When the church said pray it awayWhen the church said pray it away
When the church said pray it away
To the elderly woman
Who lost her whole family
Not from just a gun
But from the system holding one
She had prayed
And prayed
And prayed
For her family's safety
And do you know what God did
He committed the ultimate sin
He killed them
But
It was...

Pentecost Sunday - Linking Pin Sonnet and PrayerI Will Pour Out My Spirit
A Spence Linking Pin Sonnet — Devotional Voice
I will pour out My Spirit like a song,
Song of the heavens falling soft as rain.
Rain on dry bones to raise the lost and wrong,
Wrong turned to right by mercy in the flame.
Flame in the eyes of daughters who now dream,
Dreams of...

Why Use Foul LanguageAre nasty words used to express emotions to a heighten degree
Am i suppose to understand you any more than you understand me
Vocabulary words isn't hard to learn and to use
I can use words that aren't so nasty and still blow a fuse
Stand up comedy isn't the same due to foul language
When it comes to being...

The Third OptionThere was a dreary blip in my life
I feared two depressing outcomes
The first, hell
I separate myself from societal pressures
I accept who I am
I let go of all that abuse that has kept me who I was
I let go of hiding behind a hundred carefully tailored masks
Just so one may approve of me
But in return
I risk...

Sweet MadnessSometimes the things some humans do
when judged by reason’s point of view
appear as acts of insane fools
which defies logic’s rigid rules.
The virtues that sweet madness breeds
inspiring heroic deeds
are from a realm beyond earth’s clime
suffused with attributes sublime.
The martyrs dear of Christendom
faced their demise with buoyant bliss
their tormentors were baffled by
the peaceful way in which...

Devil's oceanIm hearing voices in my head,
all muffled is the sound
Can't make out the words they've said,
Yet I'm surely set to drown.
Plug my ears to disrupt the waves,
As torturous tides begin to pull me in.
Lost within these endless caves.
From chaos, a life of sin.
Riptides calling me further out,
Into a sea of endless despair.
Nothing attempted; not...
