Mercy As Love Left Undone

Realizing the obvious long ago now in regards
Unto many circles their politics it takes, a certain 
Breed to carry out these dirty deeds ? Nay any rank
As file shall do for that such lepers hearts: trolling time.

Earth Birth

Open the Gate's 
And let the Lepers in
    And pray the Conscious of the Survivors 
Send the Rescue Boats back 
Before the Screaming stop's 
    Free the Beggar from the Stocks 
And ask the Baying Crowd show Mercy
Retract the Gallows and Burn the Rope
Fill your palm with a hand of dirt
And know the value of time on earth

Entombed

Parting is such sweet sorrow,

When love's air is still there,

But when the flame flickers out,

And the wax dries,

Love is sealed;

 

 

There is no air.

Until the stamp,

Is peeled.

 

 

Love's lepers are we,

Who pick at the wound,

And bleed out life's blood,

Until, we too,

Are Entombed.

In Search of Miracles

Whilst faced with dearth do we recall
The sudden tendency to pray
A prayer wishing for mere miracles
That from privation we may be spared.
And what kind, oh, one might ask, 
Of miracle do you ask of? 
The kind which cleanse the skin of lepers
Or make the cripple walk? 

Are we, in truth, in search of miracles, 
Or is magic what we want?

Leper's Hearts

These hearts of ours are falling apart.  
 Fully formed bodies with lepers hearts.

We brave the world with a smile and a wink,  
hiding our rotten hearts full of infections that stink.

For our bones are strong but the heart is weak,  
for the love of God we have not seek.

If You are willing, o Lord,  
set apart these filthy rags  
and heal these lepers hearts.

The Archaeologist

the archaeologist stood 
on the original floor
above her was laughter
loving and war

the archaeologist stood
at the foot of a pit
beside broken lepers
and gentlemen sit

the archaeologist stood
in the ditch of a moat
where bloodied invaders
and townsfolk would float

the archaeologist stood
to her knees among bones
of all history's people
in all of their homes

Copla Cuarenta Y Cinco This Bad Guy World

COPLA CUARENTA Y CINCO: This Bad Guy World

If all the people on this Earth
Decided to believe in One God:
Guess who jobless

Sure, humans need caring from birth
Not at the cost of sparing rod:
Coax hate madness

Who will speak for the Almighty
Must show proof of saintly presence:
Loin-cloth yogi

Not that there weren’t some thought saintly
They served lepers not malevolence:
Power hungry

Fullness of Healing

Ten lepers approached, keeping their distance.
“Jesus have mercy!” They called for assistance.
     “To the priests you must go
     and yourselves to them show.”
Just one who was cleansed returned to give thanks

to Jesus in gratitude for healing.
While praising aloud as he was kneeling
     at the Saviour's feet
     his joy was complete.
Just this foreigner found fullness of healing.

Luke 17.11-18

Wreck of Ship-Africa

WRECK OF SHIP-AFRICA

Where is the sentiment of those who fought?
When their blood is shed and their story taught
Are we forgetting or we never knew.

Are we going to watch this sheep wreck
O! I cry for the captains are lepers and dread
We need another Christ to save us from ourselves

Life is at stake not for a good and reasoned course
Selfishness and brutality, innocent and the guilty suffers
The strong wage war against the weak without remorse.

Jesus, The Christ



He weeps and
prays like humans.
He SAVES like God.

He HEALS like God.
He sleeps and hungers
like humans.

He teaches
and preaches like humans.
He FORGIVES like God.

He pays taxes like humans.
He RESURRECTS and WALKS
ON WATER like God.

He CLEANSES LEPERS,
CASTS OUT DEMONS,
and FEEDS THOUSANDS like God.

He BLESSES CHILDRENS and
UNSTOPS DEAF EARS like God.
Jesus, The Christ, was born
in a stable like animals.

Silence of Song Birds

one year later
we're still wearing 
political rags on our faces
to much money to be made
so we play in their play 

nobody was smiling anyhow

the eyes have become paramount
the naked facers are scorned lepers now
the hollyweird crowd wears designer masks.

Billy "Covid" Gates is laughing all the way to the bank
his father was big into eugenics and planned parenthood...
wake up world-a few elites have clipped our wings
muffled the voice of 7 billion songbirds

Dear, Virus

Dear virus
don't you think you've had your fill
maybe its time to move on
why couldn't you have been
a friendly chap
with symptoms of happiness
sense of well being
greater love and compassion 
for one another
appreciation for god
closer to the spirit
not the gnashing flesh.

Instead of social distancing
we'd draw closer
but you've turned us into lepers
scurrying from one another
pointing fingers in the shadows
gangrenous hearts
hoarding-hardening
our invisible
death.
