Epistle Xi - Creed
(I)
Our creed is
not a green and white
Wahhabi blade
sharpened by
Mohammedan covetousness,
but a lush meadow
for the footloose lamb
to graze in communion
with Christ’s kingdom...

Covetousness
consumed by longing
a yearning for dreams un-sought
pours emptiness upon life
a hollow sorrow
denies the truth of plenty
obsessed with seeking’s seeking

Covetousness
Longing to possess
belongings of fellowman.
Perfidious unseen want
enrobed in sweetness.
Treachery rooted deep down.
Stealing begins in the heart.

Old Man In a Bar, Me
sexy couple shooting pool
what was that covetousness rule?
when am i going to get over this?
in the back of my mind, memories of bliss
keep me looking, well attached
until this longing body is dispatched
to the dustheap, while this mind
propelled into bardo, still looking behind
at all the ties that bind......

Defeat Causes
Accursed thing-cravings
Covetousness that prevails
Abiding not in God’s will
Cleaving to self-might
Absence of God’s leadership
Cause my spiritual defeat.*

A Holy Hope
Bags Of Rice
In my Courtyard
The One I Struggled Lost to the capriciousness
The nest of the fuddle Nightingale-
A Suspicious Saying of the sage.
So sonorous is this Whistle
That passes by
IF not covetousness
It will be inclined.
Memory of the past
Archimedes, Aristotle and many
Memory drained superlative subservient.
A Holy race
So secured everywhere....

Covetousness
==============================
out back of the barn
I watch you hitch a wagon
to the fine draft mare
your last harvest bought
'tis I would be behind her,
had I seen her first
(and had I a cart)
while you travel in comfort,
I ruin my good feet
why should she be yours??

Greed
Greed prompts people to do wrong,
The urge to possess what another
has becomes so strong,
Humans will pillage, lie
and commit crimes in the
name of GREED,
It is covetousness on speed,
GREED clouds the judgement
of its victims to indulge in
heinous acts,
Greed will drive someone into
become part of a "Bad Pack",
A disease that eats at the core of its
hosts,
not caring if they kill someone or
turn them into burnt toast....

Religions
The opinion of and worship of a controlling power,
The belief in and worship of a god or gods;
With designated behaviours and practices,
Disciplined by priests, preachers and other sods.
Love and hate, animosity and respect,
Antagonism, enmity, loathing and hostility;
Desire, warmth, ardour and passion,
All of which created by religion’s antipathy.
Jealousy, grudge, resentment and covetousness,
With malignity, spite controlled by enviousness.
Religions
For like us minions....
