Two Rocket Ships

It was said
If men sent two rockets
To outer space; one were Atheists with Modern Science
And the other Christians.
They both would colonize their planets.

The first would cease to be men at all within a generation.
While the second would find pasture and retain what made humans noble.

On Yin

I watch thou speak...
Always on destiny
Always on causation.
Turning wheels are man’s mind;
Gears, leavers.
What is bad is bad.
What is good is good.
Bad men are bad men.
Good men are good men.
There is no choosing for either.

The lesser things go to war;
The religious things are merely a product
Of things upon things upon things upon things.
Years, upon years, upon years, upon years.
Line upon line upon line upon line.
Here a little, there a little.

I listen to you speak
Relegating man, analyzing him as if man were a beast.

Yet, your brother Yang
Sees the soul within a man
And attributes it to science.
It is a soul nonetheless that he sees---
He sees the good, the volition, the capability for order.
The rational mind.
He plainly sees what is good in man.

You see it, and say it is religion’s job to order it.
He sees it, and says religion hinders it.
I see it, and say it is a little of both.

Yet, Yang is wiser then thou for seeing it.
Thou seest it, and claim it is irrational.
It is not. It is wholly rational.
More pleasure comes from it than not.

I silently look at both things
And say, “God created it.”
Neither can prove, nor disprove,
God. Neither rational morality
Nor irrational morality.
For morals are rational---
It is just also true that most men cannot understand why.

Sages spend lifetimes striving for one solitary truth.
And when two sages find it,
Then they war among one another.
It is not that either’s truth is any less true;
Only that both men cannot conceive of the other man’s truth.
Both truths are true.
And both men, knowing their truth,
War with the other.

I, I look to Christ.
He was a genius superb above all other men.
Godly intelligence;
I read Moses, seeing the most controversial laws
Are a wellspring of life.
I do not conform my thoughts my own mind's redundancies 
But rather base my truth on what proven systems there were.
And I say, “How is this?” And they surely come to reasons which I could never find on my own.
Even the darker subject of war.
Hammurabi was only a genius because God provided for him law;
Yet, not all laws were found.
Moses was a genius because God provided for him law;
Yet, grace was not found.
Christ was a genius, never having studied, He was God,
He found all which man could under the sun
And spoke it in parables.
Even eternity is wisdom;---
For without it, what cautions a man to gain everything
And to do great harm?
What man, without the capacity for forgiveness
Has reason to do what is good?
None rational.
That man must die. And if he does not die
He can only build an empire of blood.

I look to your speech, Yin,
And I say, “There is half of wisdom,
“Yet your brother has a half,
“And I have the whole.
“Yet, I only have the whole
“Because I have a teacher.
“You two do not;
“You see half of all wisdom
“And forget the other’s half;
“Thus, you eternally strive with one another
“And do not see the truth.”

Spies

Spies, spies
They are everywhere.
Have an idea
They make you despair.
Do not believe it?
Just ask the police.
What we know
Is the least.

They stop my books
They stop your crafts;
Have an idea
And they'll watch your back.

I knew it was true
But today it was confirmed.
Spies rule our lives
And it makes my stomach churn.

The Number of the Beast

XξÇ

The X for six hundred
Means one signs.

The Csi is the name of Allah, and is sixty
Which one signs their name to.

The C is the symbol for six
And is what the currency symbol will be.
It is also 666, or two thirds a man.
Israel uses Base Ten Math,
And .999 is equal to one in base ten math.
.666 is equal to two thirds.
The Mark is a multitude with their spirit divided from their soul and body.
The name of the beast is Sin.

Sin was the Babylonian God
Whom the Babylonians worshiped,
And replaced Samas whose laws were like Yahweh's.
Sin worship required the virgins
Defile themselves in the town Square
Before they could ever be married.
Allah is a derivative
Of the Moon Goddess Sin,
Whom the Babylonians Worshiped
Right before God wrote their destruction upon the wall.
Allah was the name of an Arabic Moon Goddess
Deriving its meaning from the goddess Sin.

Therefore, the name of the beast is Sin
And the number is two thirds of a human being;
A human being with their Spirit divided from their soul and flesh.

It will be a Crypto Currency
Implanted in the forehead or right hand.

Is Faith an Illusion?

A wise man once said
Faith was like smoking a cigar
Faith was like listening to a symphony
Faith was like butter.
That unbelief were like cigarettes
That unbelief were like a gramophone
That unbelief were like margarine.

Yet, I still perceived doubt.

T. S. Eliot wrote Ash Wednesday.
The greatest confession of faith in history.
There were no apologetics.
It was simply put, that God was known to Eliot
In the moment he wrote it,
And Eliot cried out to our God
Saying for him never to forget.

That is faith.
We are at one point wretched, worthless sinners.
And afterward we are cleansed.
We may cuss, smoke an occasional cigarette
Or write a blasphemy in our books.
But, we know God
Because God is in our lives.
We know ourselves before God
And we know ourselves after God.
And we say,
“Because I do not hope to turn again.”
For in that is the emotionally weighted truth
That before we were exiles,
Hopeless, and suddenly we find life.
And through our lives we increasingly
And bitterly
And sweating and crying and hoping against all hope;---
Our prayer intensifies, 
To where it was first a whimper
And then it transforms into a heartfelt cry of belief.

That is what faith is.

The Queen of Poets

O' the Queen of Poets
The wretched Kings decry...
Sword of Damocles unsheathe;

The Queen of poets sings her Coda
While she is yet a nursing babe.
Her speech has yet to form…

Yet, truth was on the lips of babes
Like none ever seen so far.
Kings, fear thou this,
The poet’s heart who fears thee.
For if the Queen of Hearts cannot sing her odes
Then freedom dies.
Sing. Sing Queen of Poets, 
And like the Blackbirds of Ireland
Have your songs be heard!

The Blue Bird

We artists are the Blue Bird;
Red chest; we wear the sky as a raiment.
Sell Outs, Marketers, Editors...
They are the Blue Jay
Which dig in their beaks
Wetting our feathers with blood.
They come, knowing only how to consume.
We Blue Birds come, only knowing how
To sing and be beautiful.
Unfettered Nature favors the Blue Jay;
Yet from where I come from
The Blue Jay is a pest
While the Blue Bird is a lovely gift of God's creation.
Build us our little homes
Which the Jays and Crows cannot fit.
For, soon enough we will no longer
Be an endangered species.

The Wisdom of Jordan Peterson

There is no more room for creative people.

We are a pain.
No more room for the bard.
No more room for the carpenter.
No more room for the baker.
No more room for the whistler,
The musician,
The painter,
The toy manufacturer.
The writer,
The poet;
The novelist---
No, novels must be written
By a collaborative on market trends---
No more drummers
No more stringed instruments,
No more worship,
No more books,
No more readers,
No more architects,
No more gardeners.
No more folk art, 
No more playgrounds.
No more toy guns or hula-hoops.
No more army men or matchbox cars,
Only aphantasia.

No, the only work that is left
Is the manager.
And the laborer.
And that is because the majority of people are so.

No more gingerbread houses,
No more vellum,
No more calligraphy,
No more ballads, hiakus or odes,
No more surrealism,
No more cubism,
No more realism,
No more philosophy,
No more, unless its figuring out
The next way to make money.

Jordan, reevaluate yourself.
This is what you believe in right now.
You’re a patron of the arts?
Yet, you can’t support this modern capitalism if you are.

No more quilters,
No more afghans,
No more photography,
No more card tables with the hinge
And patterned like a Chess Board.
No more nursery Rhymes,
No more fairy tales,
No more cookery,
No more paintings held in high esteem.
No more black or Indian faces on the cardboard design---

No, everything is mapped out.
Scientifically designed for the most use.
Created specifically for your viwwing pleasure.
Best meant not to offend, best created to make the most amount of money.
And creative you are, it is only so far as
It can make money.
Everything scientifically designed to produce the most---
The pink chosen because it calms, yet later it excites and annoys.
The Blue abandoned because it looks cheap.
The green used in abundance because people think they’re intelligent
If they prefer that color.
Chosen for their own vanity.
I like blue. And yellow. And Purple.
Chess hacked from computer engines.

I’m done.
