Grand basilicas
built to papal false idols
of graven image -
to apostate relics from
pagan Rome and Babylon!...

The cacophony of birds
sounded like
the babble of Babylon
no terror
better describes
the faces of Babel
than Edvard Munch's
The Scream....

Babble on, Babylon!— The bell is bellowing 
Its booming bane! Bastards and baseborn bumblers 
Beware, and beg bitterly for better 
Birth above! O’ you bashful, bawdry bunch!...

Rain has been purple since innocence sinned.
The levee is dry and the spirit retired,
But song-writing seamstresses still seem inspired....

that changes
is perspective

The only thing
envisioned
sight unseen

The only thing
that’s lasting
stays redundant

The only thing 
that lingers
— is a dream

The Ifs of Life

Daddy always used to say:

Ifs are like the tower of Babylon,
They can’t get you anywhere.
Only by the  facts of a life can one get
From here to there.

Faith
Hope and
Charity, 
An eye single 
To glory of God,
Qualifies each person
For the work of salvation
For all his brothers and sisters
Caught in traps of never ending sin,
Trying to find escape in Babylon....

Swords will clamp,
Rome will stand.
Shields will block,
Greece will fall.
Armageddon will burn,
Babylon will be torn.
America is in a den,
Russia looks to reign...
Korea is the lion
Ready to pounce
On all we call world power!...

Tigers of babylon draw tight
Power atlas at its brazen right
Strings and limbs, we can use these things

Explosive hips happen in flight
But all that grasps stays in sight
From shoulder to core declaration 
On this mat we make a firm statement...

YOU thought god had changed
given his son to forgive us all
no god is still violently destroying mankind
abusing our tiny souls with his power
we are operating on strictly BC frequencies
babylon shall fall
i cannot  see the point of it all...

the minstrels
the lovers
and the mad

dare to explore
where others fear
to tread

we wish on falling
stars
not knowing where they
land

a million miles to
Babylon
a journey
unknown

paradise awaits
those who dare
to walk
alone...

Anger, purer than dark chocolate
A seat, right next to the agitator, yet still underneath
Our system is not working.
We are busted, building Babylon,
and now the essence is dust,
all in my eyes, causing tracing, 
all in my mouth, causing

silence....

of Babylon it's written
of Rome it is said
of Athen's glory it's recounted
of Egypt's pharaohs long dead
   Anaheim's alive
   Dallas, dynamic
   Phoenix is rising
   Portland is panoramic
we pay homage to what was; overlook what glistens, the aerodynamic...

There on the brown jungle grass

We lie hemmed by moonlit horse

Deep sounds of drum from afar

Babylon breath dense and coarse

We behold thy gardens fair.
Say, to what do they compare?
And yet thy airs of fire and fume
have filled the world with noise of doom.
The sceptered isle that Shakespeare saw,
or Satan's realm by Milton's lore?
Jerusalem or Babylon,
Say, which art thou, Albion?...

Be,
The ocean inside me,
be my homemade beast ...
that I will be your domestic
tiger...
Dance for me as if
it was Babylon ...
that I will donate you all
sprouting melodies of my body,
and all the luminescence of my soul ...
Then you will be my immense love!...

someone asked me to define the peace of ethnicity
I am just a Mahogany child
of Babylon
sitting in my tree
my grandfather planted this tree
I am sitting in my grandfather's tree
eating a strawberry
reminiscing
that is what peace looks like to me
I am ethnicity....

We behold thy gardens fair.
Say, to what do these compare?
And yet thy airs of fire and fume
have filled the earth with noise of doom.
The sceptered isle that Shakespeare saw,
or the Satanic mills of Blakean lore?
Jerusalem or Babylon,
Pray, which art thou, Albion?...
