Bypath

First, I saw the star of David rising out of the East.
No one will believe me , not even my children to say the least.
They know there is a Geni, but don't know how to know Him or fear Him like no 
other.

The star of Bethlehem made clear a way.
Just like John the Baptist did when Christ was on his way.

There is an other light that is here,
Nobody even knows, nobody even cares.

These two lights to me,  remind me of a story I once read.
Sodom and Gomora everyone there is dead.
Fire struck those corrupted cities.
The Geni burned them to the ground.

One star, two star, three star.
I think only two.

You built your alters on calvary and even on his tomb.
Dedicating it for love.

All the earth, you know your love is fornication.
Really sickening and dismay.
You call your alters, Venus, Jupiter and Juno.
Wasn't anything sacred here at all.
Nothing is sacred here anymore.

These two lights represent Babylon, the sinful place,
Just like before.

It has happened, and I think it is going to happen again.
If sin is what you want, I think it is what your going to get.

Sin Ends.

Bitterness

Bitterness,
Sparks like a bright light lit, from his tortured heart,
shone through.
The weariness of a lost soul that carried a flame 
through the wind.
Rashness in his speech.
Bitterness,
For giving and forgiving.
Here his alms.
Here his family.
For giving and forgiving in deathly rain.
Meeting in the quavers of silence, which time carried.
A charter oak tree.
In a lions den.
Engrave on it the date.
From the Liberty Bell I hear no ring.

The Vigil Vindicator

A blizzardery blitz. white spotted morning.
 A score plus five.
Nay, nay, nay, tis nay that came from his blundering mouth.
A child entering.
Falling in a gust of wind.
An appearance as small as a snowflake.
Taking sides, faltering at each clumsy move, 
made without pre thought.
Being a skivvy to his body.
A slave to his brain.
Rejection to such quantity.
Something as beautiful as is ugly.
Justice know.
Understanding, difficult.
While his soul is free, he, struggling to leave the world pure.
Rubbish, tripe, Venus , Jupiter.
His depth of responsibility shows.
Progress of reason may turn the snowflake to hail.
Rejection, damage, death, destruction,
he can no longer control.
Understanding the depth of difficulty.
We will have quantities of snowflakes and each an individual.

A Scholar

Learning your art, while living your life here in this world.
You are taught in the light of time.
Your lessons are from books.
You are better than they are, they are wearing a disguise.
Studied in the dark of night, studied under your bedroom light.
With blurry vision, you continue to hold on.
Because you will master your art,
life has planted its' seed in your heart.

Look what you have found in the light.
Everything is uncovered and visible to your sight.
Getting ready to travel through time, 
You will meet new people,  they will make you grieve.
Blindly you will leave.

Let this experience give you insight.
In your small hands,  you will hold their emotions and life.
You did not do this, you are not to blame.
Learning the paradox of life.
To evince the understanding of entity,
     is your life.

Travelling on the bypath of earth.
Studied in the dark of light.
Understanding your insight.
