Farwell, my old traveling fiend;

I'm away and I shall not come by again;

Religion
a prison…
to fence and restrain
Spoken
or written…
it tries to contain
What can’t
be conscripted
or coveted pure
The Presence
as given
—freely endures
(The First Book Of Prayers: January, 2022).
The world is not driven by greed
it’s driven by envy …
Commandment 10 is carved in stone
positioned at the end
Where old injunctions miss their mark
a covetous reminder
Desirous of another’s place
—the devil painted green
(Dreamsleep: March, 2023)
Run into open arms
Inviting secret charms
Race behind darkened doors
Harlots, rapists, worldly whores
Digress
Speak tones of love
Beautiful looking doves
Heavens gold is free and pure
Tempt me not just to be sure
Fly
Wise to listen but even glisten
As a drop of water listen
On angels wings now glide
Free from earthly pride
Thou shalt not hide!
Five minutes after God wrote the very first commandment.
His kids commenced to slaughter each other.
Sometime later,
a great thinker stood forth and said:
“Hey guys do you think He really meant it?”
“Of course” said one
“Naw” said another vehemently.
One touchy fellow said they were both wrong!
Things got heated.
War broke out, the killing resumed.
"Thou shall not kill"
Was etched in stone
High on a mountain top
As if God cracked
His funny bone
And no one heard it pop
We kill to eat
And not just meat
But weeds and insects, too
And no one grieves
For garden thieves
Who stop by for a chew
Our need for food
Fuels endless feud
Leaving us in a bind
To feed our brood
We must conclude
Mankind just isn't kind!
Form:
~On the boarder of mine mistakes
I shutter I've fallen to the sounds,
grounds of mine beliefs I adhort to
say to the calling screams nevermore
to dream of those the tangled things
tangible things. Sweating bead...of
Perceptional drops of tears sore I am
the emotions of a guilt ridden-humanatee??

For I shalt not hate you
Barefoot am I
I speak virgin tongue
I hate no one
I love everyone
And yet your negative ways
Your bad wrong choices
For I shalt not hate you
Those loud lose voices
Are the only things I hate
For I shalt not hate you
Only just those things you do
All sinners even I
Will be, shall be redeemed by Christ
And O God that will be so, so
very nice
For I shalt not hate you
