ARTISTIC DNA


Mystics call it Karma

Me

I call it life

Cosmic building blocks

Woven ever deftly

By God’s Almighty Hand

Eternal ladder to the stars

One step at a time

Crafting clever rhymes

Pilgrim chronicles

Highlights of my journey

Trail of love along the way

Sentimental sway

Artistic DNA

SNOW GEESE MIGRATION


Black eyes

Cold

Distant

Pale

Hollow cheeks

As if she hasn’t eaten in weeks

Snow Geese migration

V Shape flying wedge

Gaggle of one million so it seems

Make a beeline south

Oblivious

To the broken dreams

Crushed hearts

Hopelessness

Slowly playing out

So far below them

She would have liked to know him

But her pride got in the way

It doesn’t matter anyway

Nothing left to say……

SANDBOX LIBERATION



A twist of irony
We watched war on TV
Ratings soared through the roof
When Desert Storm arrived
Baghdad crumbled quickly
Live
Without a net
Tired ass SCUD Missiles
Hardly WMD’s
Low tech bottle Rockets
Feebly aimed at Zion
Orchestrated blitz
Media manipulation
Pentagon exploitation
Shrill battle cry
A stick in the eye
To modern day Babylon
By the George W. Bush nation
Sandbox liberation
Designed to crush tyranny
“OH SAY CAN YOU”…….
Yes GOP
We see
In digital HD
Clandestine Intel disconnects
Playing card villains
Three ring circus theme
Global disrespect
As Saddams’ Gallows Pole
Damn near severed his head
From his evil Dictator neck
Never to forget
We financed said insurgency
To suit our greedy needs
Oilfield evil seed
Green Zone 50 yard line
Kurds
Shiites
Sunnis
We offered “Stable Democracy”
Shadow hypocrisy
C.I. Fucking A
Independence Day
American treasure
Politicians sway
Black Gold benefits
Assassination hits
Greenpeace
Doesn’t give a shit
Me
I understand
Secret Council Disneyland
“High Value Targets”
Video Game sales
As I watched the freak show carnage
Somber “Game Face” on
Complexities
Inherent with Jihad
Not many Joe Q. Citizens
Consider martyrdom odd
In the end
It’s all about honor
Maintaining integrity
At all cost
As our world wanders lost
Lines forever crossed……

About Me

My photo
Wherever He leads me.
If I flow it Will you read it? Will you feel it As I bleed it? Because you see I need it To justify my trip My words A pointed tip Dipped in sacred blood Precursor To the coming flood A gift from God My KING A beautiful thing To serve His higher cause I'm not seeking vain applause Simply Clarity For this lost world to see His grace Sweet charity Unconditional love And peace My ultimate release SELAH…….
