Housefly
I reached for a towel to dry my hands
Out of the corner of one eye,
I saw a housefly walking on the floor,
In the far corner of the bathroom
On wobbly legs she moved very slowly
How long had she been in the bathroom?
How much of a 30-day lifespan had she used up?
Did the life of one puny fly really matter?
She, an innocent victim of circumstances,
Soon destined to die unfulfilled
A looming giant stood over her
I held the power of life n’ death
On bended knees I lowered my hand
The tiny fly hopped onto my palm,
Content to rest on something warm n’ alive
I moved her closer to my face
Her multi-prism eyes met mine

Rucksack Full Of Stones
A Babe…
Born perfect, innocent, ready
Cast into a corrupt world
Parents eagerly present
A family heirloom
A patchwork rucksack
Part-filled with stones
To a wide-eyed child
Begins the journey…
Child given stones of many shapes, sizes
Stones of pity, sorrow, fear, trauma
Stones filled with words like “No”
Stones filled with ugly phrases
Stones filled with abuse, punishment, pain
Rucksack seams burgeon

Men In Black Dresses
Led by “Black Pope” AKA “The General”
Wields more power than the “White Pope”
A shadowy figure, that’s wickedly venerable
Church “Hatchet man” and true misanthrope
Women were denied the Jesuit priesthood
God was reserved for men in black dresses
“You’ll serve as Nuns; for your own good,
We’ll need you to clean up church messes”
Jesuits responsible for “Medieval Inquisition”
Tortured, burned countless women as witches
Sold “Indulgences” to the rich, for absolution
“Kill all healers, midwives they’re just bitches”
Justice soon visits men in black or white dresses
God too, has a way of cleaning up man’s messes
“Beware of ravenous wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing”

Fundamental Humans
Fundamental Christianity
Fundamental Islam
Fundamental Judaism
Fundamental Buddhism
Fundamental?
What happened to fundamental humans?
Why so many God brokers?
Have humans forgotten how to speak directly to God?
Jihad?
Crusade?
Inquisition?
Forced missionary conversion?
Dogma?
Why have so many innocent people died in the name of God?
Fundamental religion has robbed fundamental humans,

15 MINUTES OF ECSTASY (For Lovers)
Before reluctant sun arose
one summer’s morn,
Her lithe, naked body
lay next to me
On downy pillow her flaxen
locks did adorn,
Heated passion thru me rushed
“Oh, sweet agony”
Hungry hands explored the
fullness of her landscape,
I felt the roundness of her breasts
a nipple I did pinch
Ere long, my veiled heart
she’d soon undrape,
She moaned a sigh of pleasure,
and gave a subtle flinch

Religious Separation
I’m not concerned about your religion
Matters not if you’re Christian, Muslim or a Jew
How you chose to worship God is your decision
Fighting over whose god is best is of no value
Be you Hindu, Buddhist or a Jain
Consider;
Belief in God resides within the human soul
A cloud does not choose upon whose head it rains
Where the sun decides to shine is out of our control
We must forevermore set fear and misdeeds aside
Lay down our fearsome weapons on the ground
It’s time to let peace, harmony and joy abide
Time to let abundance and prosperity abound
Destiny demands that humankind return to Eden
After present era ends and a new one begins

Ramp-Up To Re-Electıon
Seems Obama has regained his ability to hear
In light of pending election for a second term
Getting ousted from White House his biggest fear
So more empty promises ‘til votes confirm
Promises to reduce armed forces to pre-surge levels
Withdrawals ‘til 2014 when again “Afghans’ self-govern”
“By then we’ll have killed Bin Laden and Taliban devils”
“Then we can begin mining there for billions in precious metals”
We know this politician is lying when he speaks
We know this man will say anything to get elected
By using deception n’ other nefarious techniques
More of the same…
Unless Obama’s ploys are detected and corrected
Wake up Americans, before it’s too late
As the next 18 months determine our collective fate

Star Seed
To create a new mankind they came;
“Fallen Ones” known as “Annunaki”
Primal man would never be the same
Would he excel or be their aberrancy?
Aliens set about to change man’s DNA
Found “Daughters of men” quite fair
Man’s double-helix imbibed the Milky Way
While Nibirians’ seeded females (unaware)
Men greatly improved their IQ scores
Learned science and art of making wars
Women gave birth to hybrid creatures
“Giants” then served as priests/teachers
“Nephilim” became first earthly Kings
Chose to debauch every thing they ruled
‘Til a great flood drowned all living things
For Mother Earth must not be ridiculed

Dream Lover
She stood before me all dressed in white
The embodiment of loveliness and grace
Her lithe body bathed in silver moonlight
My face went red and heart began to race
Was she Woman or Angel?
I did not know for sure
I prayed…
“Please don’t let me waken from this dream
For losing you is more than I can endure”
She smiled and offered me a dainty hand
I felt the coolness and softness of her skin
Mind gone blank, my heart took command
When something felt this good was it a sin?
With wild abandon I took her in my arms
The hot embrace was followed by a kiss
Before night did end I knew all her charms
Never before or since, have I felt such bliss

The Prophet
In his dream an old man appeared.
“Good king, I have news”
“Tomorrow a stranger will come.
I sent for him. He’s a prophet you can trust.
Listen to him.”
As dawn rose, the king was sitting in the
watchtower on the roof.
He saw someone coming.
He ran to meet this guest.
Their souls knit together,
without stitch or seam.
The king opened his arms and
held the prophet close to him.
He led him to the head table.
They dined.
