Under Dead Sea lies
Two wicked cities buried
Sodom, Gomorrah....

Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn
Four lusty seasons in Sodom
Smoke ’em if you got ‘em
Next stop Rock Bottom...

A burning desire
Sodom became ash for lust
Strewn in the gutter

No one desrved it
Like Mrs. Lot, for looking back
Her salt is preserved...

Foolish virtue,
Flying with vultures.
Stupid light,
Shining in darkness.
dirty  pig,
Dancing  on the pit.
Flags of rainbow,
Hoisted in Sodom....

To my once bright flame lovely Laura
who took the reigns of my fauna and flora
A timid fool was I
to have saluted goodbye
to her insistent Sodom and Gomorrah...

Enter me
like a cathedral
Turn all my pillars
to salt

Love me like every last
pilgrim is watching
Empowering

In my youth, I never whistled at a passing woman.
In my youth, I never made a raunchy catcall.
But I’m sure the gist of what I must've been thinking
could’ve made a city like Sodom or Gomorrah fall....

Sodom
in tatters
Gomorrah
is ash
L.A. lies
burning
New York
in the trash

Cowards
run rampant
Weakness
endeared
Our heritage
shattered
With traitors
— revered

God blitzed Sodom & Gomorrah
Including fauna & flora
Putin says, "Me, too!
I am just like you
Blasting that Box of Pandora!"  

n.b.  after blowing up their home
and family, Russian troops
tell survivors that they have
been liberated from the Nazis! ...

Her name is not given in the Bible
which is perhaps fitting as she was chattel
and Lot named not his goats, sheep or cattle,
although it was rumored that he named his dog.
Besides, it was raining when she turned looking
back on Sodom and was turned to salt, which
all too soon, was one with the earth....

God staged a Mount Sodom assault
On a wife whom once dared to halt*
Her husband said, "Whew!  
What else could He do?
I'm hungry, so please pass the salt!"

* The hallmark of  Western religions
is God and Lot's "Devil-may-care" 
attitude toward a "nameless" wife's
concern for the welfare of her daughters!...

Trump is a president
Who likes to speak his mind
His thoughts are rather jumbled
And his words are never kind

He reminds us of King Herod
Who never could divine
Why Jesus should be crucified
For making water wine

And so Trump's power crumbles
Like Sodom and Sadam
A fading star of Ego
Where no one gives a damn!...

Sodom and Gomorrah
their tale retold
Ignoring scripture
the world grown cold
Semitic factions
that seek and kill
Their hate on fire
their rage instills

Sodom and Gomorrah
two faiths subscribe
The Quran and Bible
their fate describes
Brother kills brother
the hour late
“Vengeance Is Mine”
—damnations fate

We all know our Sodom to flee from
And now I wish to include your rum:
To you loaf of Bread but I know Crumb,
Long minutes after a glassful dumb...

You're now by God's Angels invaded
For interest that are better jaded:
A fellow released dares not look back,
You'd be looking back: your fast flight slack:
To quit seizing a bottle Freedom,
Big Achievement of Divine stardom....

Break,break,break on the cold,gray septa
(the veil is ripped and so am I)
\Fern sundered amongst the 
Daffodils,dandelions and diadems tarnished 
With the oxidation of time and tide
That waits for no man.
\Well here I am
The littlest seraph of Sodom
(what did they do in Gomorrah?)
Blow horns and sack butts
Tan-ta-ra
The epitome of epiphanies awaits
And Gabriel - you go play in the other room....

My life now is at rock bottom,
Burning to the ground like Sodom, 
My pride alone tore me apart, 
Kept me blinded from the start.

I'm a failure and a fraud, 
I'm just a poor pathetic sod, 
Depression's nearer than ever, 
I just have to be meeker.

All my life I thought I had wings
To get me above all pesky things, 
But it was all my imagination, 
As I have already jumped before realization....

The dead tree still stands totally decayed
Could be modern Sodom and Gomorrha
Babylon that Revelation's story told
The dead tree still stands totally decayed
Vision of tree came to me and stayed
What...is that tree ..America that I love
The dead tree still stands totally decayed
Could be modern Sodom and Gomorrha

(Genesis 19, 1Kings 14:24, Isaiah 13:1, 14:22, Revelation 14:8, 16:19 references that could 
apply.)...

When the rage blows through
And biting leaves are sodom bent
When dark hands thrash from housetops sent
Rocking corners still know their ready course

Your love settles in good sense.
I am free amidst torrential outsource
Fluid fantasies break out 
From break points of grey noise

We are swirling in singular ploys
Forever now, blue midnights peel
Across leisurely winds of time and change
Action throughout life
Making ripe future's plain...

She has the idea buried 
Of later getting married,
As she shall be forty-five:
Very far from twenty five…

Her mirror has been talking;
Strong challenges from walking.
“When last was Monthly Bleeding?
Like Lot from Sodom fleeing!”

Marriage mainly child-bearing,
In Nigeria for child-rearing; 
Tears for declined proposals:
Fine Guys that faced disposals; 
Her rash rejection of Ben 
And harsh ejection of Ken… 

Unless she flies to US
 Nothing like last SOS!...

He apparently cried the entire winter
All alone from the inside
By the side of our lake

We didn’t know
He wept from his broken pipes

Beds couches book cases wall paintings
Picture windows filled with sunrises
Sodom and Gomorrah drown
In fountains of cold
Skirted with ceiling-high black mold

True
I had glanced back late last fall
With thirty years of memories and love

My disobedience to God answered
I suppose

We always thought there’d be one more summer....

Like Soddham&Gommorah
NYC is
Coming off the bus today 
In Brooklyn 
A man had asked me to have sex with him
Swinging his waste around so he
Can get my attention 
But I ignored Satan 
Because I was down the street singing 
JESUS praise 
NYC AND I ARE CONSTANTLY 
ON A SPIRITUAL BATTLE FEILD
With a smile on my face and Jesus on my side 
I always win
Enemies wanna see the worst out of me
But I won't let them
Because a greater power is for me
Who died on Calvary's Tree...
