Wallowing in greed
insatiably covetous*
selfishness grievously poisons me...
Lord, forgive and transform my heart
by Your compassion toward lovingkindness-pursuit.
*Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

most memories speak to the happenings of it's time
they make you try to understand what's going
through the minds of those who are stars
in the role, the story teller
wishes them to be.
the somber sounds of thinking
to tell the stories of yesteryear
mention the happenings
speak from your position
say what you think is right
author the story and speak to it
as you think it
from the book words of women: Songs of Whores
the Whoremonger listens!

Love divine uncorrupt how for thee I do yearn,
For without are skanks, thiefs, and many a whoremonger,
Who birthed from the pits of hell drag many an angel down.
Shall I die alone ere I find that one pure love,
Since I refuse to rot in this debauchery
That drowns our waking days in a hopeless darkness
That leads many astray from seeking love sincere
And attempts in the dark to replace love with lust?
Whether I wait for love or join the debauched world,
A lone death are my odds, though strong I feel hope nigh
That my love I shall meet, together fore'er be.
When people look at me they see what they want to see
are you inclined to visualize
me as a diabolical demon?
Dressed in black with all my tattoo's
Does my life portary me as a blood thirsty
whoremonger who has resorted to sleazy
one night stand's?
Does my life reflect me as a messenger
of the soul's of the dead?
Occasionally you are shocked by what
i say immediately you developed sympathy
for me you are having conflict between
good and evil i carefully convince you
into letting me drink your blood and i
ravish your soul.
