Short Principalities Poems

All
around-
seraphim
dominions,
thrones-
and
powers-
archangels,
principalities-
with
angels,
ophanim,
the cherubim
fly...

Struggle knows
No rest stops
Nor reprieve pauses,

Rather, like time,
It remains infinitely 
Guilty of cause—

There can be no counter clockwise
Movement in the struggle
Moving towards absolute freedom;

Flesh has rotted
And blood has dried—
Wicked principalities tick on....

In war, the horses are for All to ride.

Nothing but mere vessels for an enemy or ally.

The cannons, the guns, the swords and arrows...instruments at best.

I don’t quarrel with tools, nor do I wish to wrestle flesh.

Invisible forces are what drive mere vessels to shove their instruments through your chest....

I have done the worst
The worst I have seen
The unspeakable I have said
I have behold the 
Nakedness of the sacred
Who are the sacred?
Them, the Principalities on campus
Sacrilege became my other name
To whom did I commit this sacrilege?
Yet, all are of no consequence.

Most difficult
is to edit
one's own writing;
Like we could change a life
in a single sitting...though it 
has been done
I am told...by those
far more prolific than I,
and, maybe, less critical
(to my knowledge, Satan 
has yet to apologize): 

were all our flaws
simply commas
and run-ons--
and not attitudes, and
their principalities!...

Beacon
The wind wraps her up
Step in
On all the scorpions
Beacon
On false realities
Hope filled with principalities
Favor
Undo all that I fated too
Graced 
Into submission B-gratitude 
The wind wraps her up
In a purple blue blanket
Trees wave at her
She’s daddy’s little girl
Woman daughter of the most high God
I reckon
Step in
Favored
Graced
Beaconed

We are Warriors
We never give up and won't

Ever back down. No,
we stand together and are

Strong in the Lord and
in the power of his might

We don't wrestle with
flesh and blood, but against the

principalities  
of darkness we put on the

full armor of God 
so that we may be able

to withstand in the
evil in these hard dark days.

Stand together and
we will get through this we are
Fighters, Soldiers Warriors....

Life on a cellular and corporeal level seems to be
A relationship of complex interdependence
Where each living unit acknowledges a central theme
And concedes that theme to be more important than itself 

This principle of functioning interdependence
Expresses the “will” of a conglomerate yet separate living organism

Should we assume this general principle stops with us
Merely because we no longer have a “safe” detached vantage point...
