a tormenting toddler 
now a grown young man...

Raging fool hearted heathen
Imbecile of truth...

To the heathen
Go the spoils,
And the dead
Write poems.
There is no reprieve
From ennui....

Humility sprang from within
Valiant heathen clean of suffering
Casting seeds from whence it came
Existing evermore....

Felt accused, so abused
Mistreated life, depleted
Violent line defined
Hystericaly speaking,
Can't start reliving
These observations eternal
Meaning the believing
Stops breathing heathen...

He said it, it's true, this man never lies
They've been cooking our pets right before our eyes
A German shepherd pie?
A Persian cat on rye?
You heathen Haitians, there's really no surprise!...

God's name is Pootidoodle
Don't use it in vain.
He had a limp noodle -- 
This caused him psychic pain.
He took a blue pill that made him ill
Then whipped it out and spun about 
And got it bit off by the devil's poodle....

below the heathen
heart beats flows tears repentance
hands lifted raised high

down on bended knees
turns around going other way
graced in mercies fate

Hideous heathen heretic!

Dangerous deadly derelict!

Blasphemous bellowing bunk!

Scandalous scheming skunk!

Rambunctious riotous rascal!

Devious as Eddie Haskell!

Cancerous countywide curse!

That's ok, I've been called worse....

Once upon a haven
for now a heathen waif
once unified by craft
now a lowly execrate
for loving every neighbour 
for flying a rainbow flag
for once upon a kinship 
now pariah   what a drag

Dedicated to all the poets 
who have left for safer sites....

Getting on
getting right with God
is for a heathen
easier said than done

Washing clean 
this sinful machine 
created in an image
but towing the line isn’t fun 

Where can I get
this blessed truce
I know to well
how to pursue hell
but how in the hell
do I follow You?...

The house of worship for heathen activity 
Drawn to it's very existence, will power ceases to exist
Fluid and deliberate functions trap uncertain souls
The point of no return beyond the pulpit
Great pleasure in kneeling before the dominant one
Tempting house of sinful praise...

I stand before the closed door hopin;
That it is unlock and that it will open;
Leaving the school of hard-knocks;
~
Racing on the street and around the block;
Breathing air like a heathen addict;
Spitting out rhymes hooked phonics

I've tasted the virgin, wind;
The air was sweet as sin;
Pure white as sugar cane;
Relish as heathen rain;
My arms are wrapped around;
Been lost, now found was down now up;

When it's all said and done;
I smell of heaven
Soul fresh the air
Blessed wind aire

He was thrown out by the evils of a wanton loose woman 
who had stolen him from his family weeks ago, 
The contrite father reluctantly returned home
begging forgiveness from his disillusioned wife 
The children were relieved when she said no
because he refused to reverse his alcoholism 
or change his gadabout, heathen-like behaviors....

Love ran away
No one cares for me
Been spit on, hit on mistreated
Been called a little heathen
Let still I be breathen
Ain't missed behaven
Just haven't been given love
Silently crying
Hurried my calling
Calling out for love
Nowhere to be gotten
I'm so frighten
Now out loud I'm crying
as I run free ?

PARODY.

   Disloyal throne of Kings,this septic Isle,
   This earth of mad disease, this seat of farce,
   This other heathen den of parasites,
   This vortex bilked by Labour, of her wealth.
   Cocaine injections. and demand for more,
   This grasping greed of men, this fickle world,
   This pressure zone set in a sickly sea.

I HAVE FALLEN
 
FALLEN FROM GRACE
TURNED MY BACK
ON THE HUMAN RACE
 
WHAT IS THE PRICE
THEY WILL HAVE TO PAY
BECAUSE I WAS ENTICED
ON THAT UNFORGETTABLE DAY
 
MY HEART BROKEN
MY BODY BATTERED
MY INNOCENCE STOLEN
 
TO GOD, WHO I HAVE OMITTED
HOW CAN I BE FORGIVEN
FOR THE SINS I HAVE COMMITTED
HOW COULD I HAVE BEEN SUCH A HEATHEN
 
FALLEN
 
FALLEN FROM GRACE...

Though the father of the heathen family is a snob, the mother does blather with others and tethers their cattle with withered leathers whether the weather is warm or not. Neither she loathes any others nor fails to be blithe at the advent of the lithe spring at the southern coast of Southampton where with brotherly affection together run hither and thither sheathers and wethers....
