Religion a misnomer
whose conscript is God

Devotion misguided
—preeminent fraud

I am all subject to decay
For I am but clay.
Subdued by death,
I return to the earth.
I am a conscript;
A divine script
On time's throne....

The story of a Poet,
more tragic than his words

What then in fact his deeds conscript
—his writing leaves infirm

Is there truth without belief,
 facts left on their own

Disconnected from themselves,
answers poorly shown

Can dogma live in vacuums,
when empty of itself

Will formulaic reasoned minds
—conscript what goes unfelt

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2020)...

I have no regard
for other poets
how could it be other

As they conscript
the words away
of which I’ve not discovered

A battle royal
zero sum
as phrases block and parry

The winner left
his voice reclaimed
— the loser most disparaged

(The New Room: February, 2024)

Christian

Crisis why cries Christ mess

Confusion the challenge

Communion the message

Cuddled in manger a

Conscript lover of peace

Come with me he shouted

Conquer hypocrisy

Wonderful cage,
not for birds a place...
carnal body, is not
  for man, ideal...
Be restricted to the body,
but not the spirit...
The spirit is conscript
to the universe...
The bird wants to fly,
  the soul wants to travel,
connect with the divine,
 desires to realize the infinity,
 demands the etheric yon... !...

Must God stay beyond our
  understanding

His prophecy to conscript
  and confuse

Are the Trinity and  
  Resurrection

Both miracles or only
  a ruse

Do we build temples to
  our edification

Storing Icons that judge
  and decry

Is the Bible fictitious
  or sacred

Is Redemption the truth
  or a lie

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2017)...

Love, you are my dazzling light,
In times when life seems very blight. 
Love, you are my armor shield,
When conscript caught me heaped.

Love, you are my stunning beau, 
In middle of heinous view. 
Love, you are my very soul, 
When things got into toll. 

Love, you are my forever, 
In past, present and future. 
Love, you are indeed my half, 
That He gave me to fill my gap.

Born under a bad sign,
verses time recalled
harder luck and trouble,
 moments trapped and stalled

Born under a bad sign,
rock of ages sold
answers stay unquestioned,
bells no longer toll

Born under a bad sign,
darkness settles in
rumors take the place of truth,
wages buying sin

Born under a bad sign,
desperate to belong
days belay what lies conscript,
wordless—heartless—gone
