SinLo, do I grasp with my wretched fingers,
Onto where my heart it still lingers,
Tendrils hold as though a parasite,
With it's life causes my blight,
Even withered it does not die,
For its mother hears its cry,
Nurturing back to good health,
Yet it is I who have dealth,
Suttle thoughts fuel the proliferation,
Making death its instrumentation,
Rest from it comes with...

We Must PartYou play with my emotions
Make fuchsia fun of my devotion
You only teal take never give
Your love is fake not true or real
At first you were attentive
Love bombing not defensive
You slowly grew like a black sin
A snake coming out it’s skin
You want me to stay close
So you can swallow me whole
Your lies are...

Pecco Ergo Sum I sin therefore I am
Pecco, Ergo Sum
(I sin, therefore I am)
Not an aimless ride on Sunday morning,
But for a faith oblige I am tied to attend
“Sinners!” the priest thunders from pulpit,
“Repent, for your flesh betrays the soul!”
Verses cascade from the book of the wise,
Urging forgiveness to claim a seat
In a kingdom beyond the grave’s cold embrace.
I turn to...

Message from God
Above the highest mountains of grandeur
Gracing fertile valleys of great worth
Wings a heavenly message most urgent
For all inhabitants of the earth
A message with evangelical wings
That yields neither to despot nor king
Exposing mortals' nefarious sins
Threatening earthly shenanigans
A message that strikes with dynamic force
Against evil's quest for flagrant wrongs
Will not crumble before motley concourse
Immune to injustice's deadly...

The Fineness of Falling Forward
Born to make mistakes, they say.
A truth that settles like dust
on the edges of our triumphs.
Not a decree of doom,
but an echo in the chambers of learning.
Each stumble, a language spoken
by the clumsy feet of growth.
A grammar etched in scars,
visible only to the touch of memory.
We are not born flawless,
but with a boundless capacity
to redraw...

Shadows of the ValleyThrough the chilled night air, I wander.
Melancholy thoughts, I still ponder.
Tinged with foreboding feelings, I fear.
A nightmare while awake, a fog is near.
Devilment surrounds me, in a crazed state.
Tortured howls from creatures once sedate.
What misguided message does this send?
Are we just waiting for the world to end?
Perhaps its time to pay for our sins.
Where a...

The Falling AwayThe Falling Away
An angel that rebelled.
Had it all but failed.
Envy of the most high.
The king of all lies.
Rules over a lawless society.
Don’t follow his ways.
Cancer bleeding in the world.
It lives in the dark.
The Falling Away is here.
Watching from everywhere.
Want no part of it.
Hold...

SIN, SATAN, AND DEATH HOW THE THREE RELATEIn shadows deep, where darkness weaves its thread,
Sin's whispered lure, a path where mortals tread.
Temptation's fruit, a taste of what's denied,
It's here that Satan's cunning plans reside.
With cloven hooves and fiery eyes ablaze,
The fallen one, in wicked ways, conveys,
Deception's art, the master of the lie,
As Sin and Satan dance beneath the sky.
But Death, a specter...

Young America
The soliloquy of a late-night train whistle in the distance
Calls out to me like past voices, and the insistence
Of God’s voice is echoed in Pastor David's sermon
(Growth? the Holy Spirit will determine)
As if God were speaking directly to me, germane
To the haunting of my past, it has been whispering of late
Getting me to focus...

GERMY-SQUIRMY LITTLE WORMGermy-Squirmy Little Worm
The most clever – yet so firm
Plotting more scheme is what you yearn
Schemes, snares, you're going for the fiery burn
Ruining good apples with your germs!
O Germy-Squirmy Little Worm
Gleefully striving not having yet learned!
Whimsically strict and forever stern
Infesting people with your dirty germs!
What wage –...

The Spiritual - Material Nexus known as THE TRUTH
The Spiritual/Material Nexus is Biology and its material antithetical responses to "The Laws of Nature".
That process is fundamentally "Cooperative"; a symbiosis based on "Trust".
The successful Social Organism, "Civilization", operates the same way.
President Trump never speaks "The Truth".
A "Faithless" Government is a failure calling for immediate remediation or abolition to safeguard our Individual values.

Too Pure For HeavenIt's true, you don't have to kneel to shine/
Saints are not made by chains divine/
I stand unbowed, my spirit whole/
Too pure to yield, too fierce to fold/
Heaven's gates demand my knees/
Yet I walk past with steady ease/
An iron fist may rule the sky/
But I refuse to live that lie/
Let guilt decay where it was spun/
I...
