If I'm being honest--if that's you're real name--
If I were a musician every note I wrote would be called "Kitsch."
My melodies would be scorned, and my songs made a laughingstock.

If I were a cook, and cooked perfect dishes, with simple ingredients
Then the world would want complex ingredients, and dry morsels.

If I were an artist, if I painted Picasso, the world would want Rembrandt
And if I painted Rembrandt, the world would cry out for Picasso.

If I were a sculptor, and I sculpted David, the world would cry for Duchamp's Fountain.
If I were lazy, and wanted to hang a blanket drenched in menstrual blood, they'd cry for the Pieta.

If I were a singer, they'd want rap... and if a rapper, they'd want Sinatra's perfect chords.
If I were a grocer, whatever meat I was selling, they'd want whatever other brand there is.

If I like Raviolis, the world likes Rigatoni.
If I like the Eagles, the world likes the Cowboys.
If I like Romantic Poets, the world likes Postmodernist Poets.
If I like meat, the world likes bugs.
If I like milk, the world likes water.
If I liked water, the world would like milk, Romance Poets, Philadelphia Teams and a fat steak.
If I like Chess, the world will immediately hate my openings, and my theory, and anything I do.
If I play Sicilian, they'll play King's Gambit.
If I play a Benoni, they'll call it wrong.

If I do read Frankenstein and enjoy it... just watch what the world does to Mary Shelley.
If I find a single truth, the world cries it is foul.
If I say a single falsehood, it jumps upon my back, and sticks me with a Trident.

If I drove a forklift at a warehouse, no matter my ethics,
The world's would be the opposite's.

So, I choose Christ, knowing this is not my world
But yours. For, you'll be crowned.

The wicked gods of the earth
Desire you give up the things you love.

The God of Abraham says,
"Give what you love to me, 
"And I will make it holy
"And will cause it to prosper."

Abraham, you take Isaac to Mount Moriah.
Why, but to foreshadow God would provide a Son?

Abraham, you take Isaac to Mount Moriah.
Why, but to distinguish El from wicked Baal-el?

Abraham, you take Isaac to Mount Moriah.
Why, but to test to see if you would trust in God?

You work yourself to the bone
With the "Race of Ham" beside
Mining golden stones for Christian men.

Then they blaspheme Christ
And you set to His defense,
But they say, "Christ is a tyrant
"If His followers have placed us in these bonds."

In subconscious reverie
It can be seen, you will not stand
Christian men, like Beasts,
Who put their brothers into such misery.
For, why would good Christian men
Damn souls of the innocents in a living hell?

It is your own conscience accusing you
As mine does too, in this day.
We both have been at odds with
The Christmen of our day
For various reasons.
You for this, I for their gross lasciviousness.

"This is a world of egregious wrongs,"
Said the expert on plagiarism,
Which a thousand have said before him.
Does he now fit the bill?
Do we now stop speaking,
Or incur debts?
What egregious wrong is there
Than the technocracy created
And the silence
Of this blatant absurdity?
Read T. S. Eliot my friend...
Understand communication happens
And all things will follow
Patterns, and similar things will be spoken.

Upon the tor of the battlefield
Many a brat did lay,
The oes of many old mothers
Had the banshee keening this day.
The bard sings peace,
But the nations lay in the cwm
Which Christ laid the valleys
With the cromlechs fallen
From the welkin ringing above;
Blood, and hail, and fire mixed
With deadly batteries of sin...
The nations went to war that day
And bran was sifted in peace they say
Not a kernel fell from the bin.

After scanning the internet, and seeing a half dozen people give their advice on how to self publish, I realized two things. 1. It'll cost a lot of money. 2. It will cost a lot of money.

So, here is the free, and hard way to self publish a book.

1. Get proficient at Microsoft Word. Learn it like the back of your hand, and how to format properly, and get this solid foundation. Be able to make a perfectly symmetrical heading, margins and even borrow some templates for your book.

2. Download free Word Document software off the internet. Like Open Office or WPS Office. (Both have their various uses).

3. Use KPD. Or Kindle Direct Publishing. It's free. And it's available to everyone.

4. Learn grammar, syntax and punctuation. Be a master at this. Be able to diagram a sentence, know how to format, and use spell check to the umpteenth degree.

5. Use the previous four steps, and use them to their peak efficiency, to format, edit and publish a book.

She bats.
I run.
I catch.
I bobble.
I bobble.
I fall.
Ball bounced.
Off my arn.
I catch.
Got under it.
Didn't hit ground.
Won game.
Instant replay.
Hit ground?
Instant replay wrong?
Didn't win game.
Maybe games rigged?

Our politics is two gaping holes
Where in the middle is a very narrow road.
