Ashen Prospers

The following is a criticism of Fascism.

 

Great feasts dawn the banquet halls;

Pulled pork, roastlings,

Succulent beef and lamb stews;

Hummus, corn and olives

Mashed yams and potatoes.

 

Greater is the entertainment

The halls of Bach and Handel

Agnus Dei and Billie Eilish;

The most fantastic reveries

Soft skin and paramours.

A bank filled.

 

It may even be that this continues on for eternity.

Meanwhile Kings and Courtiers strip away the rights of poets

The rights of Whistle-blowers who see rampant evils.

War could send young men across the seas

To die… bombs could level cities.

Yet the sumptuous feasts keep the people happy.

It keeps the Courts in power

Whom the men and women know nothing about.

 

Men eat. Women lay down upon their backs.

Children engross themselves with violence.

The poets, though, the poets cannot sing.

The Daughter of Zion Theologically

I come to this topic often, as I’m still trying to make sense of it. It seems she’s the one who births our Savior. In Revelation 12:13, I do believe this is the Daughter of Zion. Perhaps whom the Catholics were prophesying with their Rosary. We know Mary was not sinless, but perhaps the Rosary was foreshadowing the Daughter of Zion.

Theologically speaking, The Daughter of Zion is the promised land—the Holy Spirit, and also the gift of eternal life. Our hope should be for this Woman to give birth to our Savior. She is an integral part of our religion, being mentioned 25 times in scripture. And where it speaks of “Her sin” obviously, the mention is we the Christian; for the Daughter of Zion is the promise of eternal life. Which, Lamentations is a prophecy specifically relating to the captivity of Christians and the destruction of the Holy City; whom, having obtained the gift of salvation have, thus, sinned beyond all hope.

The woman, therefore, in Revelation is the embodiment of the Daughter of Zion, who “Travails”. This travailing is to bring forth the Christ, the Second Coming. And it is going to happen, as the words of scripture cannot be altered or changed. A prophecy must be fulfilled. The Daughter of Zion is our gift, and if we as Christians do not use our gift—do not live righteously—we will encounter hardships in hell, and be forsaken and in Lamentation. For truth, the Daughter of Zion is the gift of God—the Promised Land of the New Jerusalem—but one must not mistake her as the door to salvation. Rather, she is the blessed hope we have of our Savior’s return.

The Mayan idol blessed by Pope Francis was what Malachi and Micah referred to as the “Beginning of Sin” to the Daughter of Zion. In this sense, she is here symbolized as the Christian apart from the Holy Spirit and work of Salvation through Christ Jesus, and she represents the fleshly Jerusalem. This Mayan idol is the Babylonian goddess “Sin”; therefore, the prophecies are a literal statement about idolatry in Zion because the Pope had blessed it.

However, for the longest time, no plague was brought on the Catholics for their Mary Rosaries; one should consider this a miracle, as God works often quite blatantly through history. It could possibly be that the Daughter of Zion will give birth to our Savior Jesus Christ, and she will be made by the Holy Spirit perfect and like she has never sinned.

The Theory of Meaning

One might, in the future

Posit that poetry was my religion.

It was not.

 

Rather, I used poetry as a vessel

To establish—by two or three witnesses—

What was true.

 

First, my knowledge came from the Bible.

And often poetry—even wicked or not—

Would affirm the teachings I find in scripture.

 

It may be the ugliness of Communism

Or the reality of communication.

But, great poetry foreshadowed

The truth;—

It proved truth could be found.

 

It did not supplement my religion.

It, rather—even if professing not to—

Confirmed it.

 

Because what was often on the pages

Did work.

More often than not, our most flagrant Atheists,

In their poetry, were prophets.

More than in essays

The poem had predicted and far surpassed

All other human inovations

By showing us where our race would end.

 

Because it was dreams;—

Poetry is vision.

Whether a demon or a saint

The poets had foretasted, eerily,

Every major change in history

In principle, and they did this

By understanding the passing bodies of knowledge

Established throughout time and space—

Captured in the portraits of literature.

 

Poems are prophetic

Because they built off of the other great poets

To see more clearly a vision

And to make less opaque

The future.

As Keats noted, the future is…

We poets are rather windows to it.

The radical is the catalyst to it;

And often radicals find in poetry

A formula for their own success.

 

I, I, liked to merely understand it

What all was in my limited grasp to understand.

However… I would also like to preserve my right to do so

Which is why my poetry was written.

Not to change the world, but to simply preserve

This freedom of man to see glimpses of the future.

Kanye West

Here is the truth.

I had prayed that you were the false prophet.

I had prayed that Trump was the beast.

While in captivity

I prayed, and I said,

“Isis would come,

“To show itself the power

“Of the pagans

“To be consolidated by the enemies.”

 

The next day, Isis was born.

I had prayed this prayer…

 

Also, in a vision,

I had spoken to Ramsey

And told him I would say the most absurd things

In order to frustrate him.

 

If you are a Christian,

Please forgive me.

But, from the beginning

Before this was,

I had said I would say absurdities to frustrate.

He can even attest to it.

 

And seeing the most absurd things I have spoken came true

And seeing the enemies are getting closer to being exposed

Let there be peace between us.

For I had only spoken error

To expose the LORD’s enemies.

It is what I had told Ramsey

And I do not repent

If it means these wicked foes were caught.

 

Jesus Christ is Come in the Flesh.

Charles Lindbergh

A man ought to have gone to war

In 1942.

 

In 2019,

One man could turn the sky red.

 

There is a difference between now and 1941.

It was before weaponized plagues.

It was before the Engine of Satan

Prophesied by the great poet Milton.

 

Let the law overthrow the engines of statehood corruption.

Allow the law to do what it’s supposed to.

Allow brave men to speak out

And to overthrow corruption with their voice.

 

Because freedom and reason must triumph over power.

 

A Truth

Youth, we like to be idle.

The far away hopes

Of utopia

The guaranteed 80,000 dollar job

How we just stumble into it one day.

We want to sit, and make money

And comfortably eat and squelch

And sow our seed into every heifer.

 

Then, by the age of twenty-seven

We begin to see the Earth is flat.

We see, “I am well fed.

“My roast Pork is delicious

“And I can go to the market

“And get it whenever I want.”

“I have a house over my head.

“I have family members I love.

“My dog is nice.

“I might not get as much sex as I wanted…

“Really none at all because I’m not married…

“But, there isn’t anything so unreasonable

“That needs to be changed.”

 

Then, some high minded intellectual

Gets elected to office, and changes something.

“I was treated nice at the doctor’s.

“Now I’m treated badly.

“I was treated reasonably

“Now I’m treated unreasonable.”

The reformer had never grown out of youth.

They had never seen the great benefits of the system

They wanted to destroy.

They, unthankfully

Want to change something.

 

And frankly, any conservative knows

There are little things that need changed.

Perhaps criminal records ought to be done away with.

Perhaps people should get free healthcare.

But, nothing so radical as being taken care of…

As a youth is naturally disposed to this mindset

When they see that their only lifeline is their mother and father.

They cannot conceive, at that age

That someone other than a parent can take care of them.

At about age 30…

If you’re spiritually mature…

You realize that it is possible.

Maybe perhaps not for you…

Or, maybe there are other problems

That you understand are not true for everyone else.

 

Silently, you meditate on all the silly notions of youth.

Then you realized that the world was barren in your novel;

That was the necessary feat to bring the Utopia you loved.

And it didn’t last long, at that.

Somehow, we all know that as kids.

Perhaps at a certain age, we bite into the Pomegranate

And realize something we couldn’t as a teenager.

But, the most destructive people are those who never grow up.

Ain’t Broke, But I’ll Fix it Anyway

I am not the narrator of this poem.

It’s just how I feel people think:

 

I sit upon my bench

Judging the world

Wanting to make all right.

Eagerly I search

For the final solution.

 

If I could be idle,

And smoke marijuana

And twiddle my thumbs

With the remote control

That kills the villain

In the pixie dust.

 

If I could just hallucinate

My sexual desires

And all day, all night

Spend my time at the feelies

Playing… Murdering…

 

Wouldn’t life be nice?

It would be the dream I have.

No man could offend me.

No woman could touch me.

I’d have all I ever wanted

In my pocket.

Therefore, I will pick up my rifle

And join the cause

To bring this to the masses.

 

Or… I could be just the opposite extreme

And fight to preserve what is already here

Claiming it was never broken to begin with.

Either way…

A Letter to Radicals

Dear,

Those who want to change my country…

 

Let me enter into this

discussion.

 

The Nazis mobilized

all corporate wealth

into a state engine.

 

Though everyone

WAS NOT

living off of stipends,

what’s the difference between a Nazi regime and a Communist one

in principle? Not factoids—

 

I mean in principle.

I mean, that’s the real issue we’re discussing here.

Morally, Nazis and Communists

ARE

about as repugnant as the other.

 

Just the same as if

Britain’s Monarchical class

wanted to band together

and create a new Feudalistic system[.]

[W]hat makes that system different than Nazis,

or Communists?

 

The fact remains

that they’re all repugnant

because they deny civil liberties,

and they censor speech,

and they force people into poverty,

 

and/or,

 

they commit atrocious acts.

 

I’m just being civil about this.

Every government in the world

is different.

 

America is different than Europe,

which is different than Canada,

which is different than Britain,

which is different than Australia.

 

But, we can say that the governments I just mentioned are

a tip above

Russia,

China

or North Korea.

 

And to say that Germany or Europe is socialist,

they still operate on Mixed Economies.

Nobody is subsisting off of stipends,

and if they are,

I imagine they are getting poverty stricken as a result—

which, evidence of the riots happening in places like Spain,

that’s probably what’s happening.

 

So, again, the real test of a civilization is

A: Are the people given equal opportunity to be fed and sheltered by hard—and satisfying, freely chosen—labor?

B: Can the people improve upon their social conditions fairly, and not have to be corrupt?

And

C: Are they free and uncensored to have bad or good ideas, religions, speech, etc, without physical or material persecution from their government or citizen bodies?

 

If the answer to any of those is “No”

then you’re dealing with an oppressive regime.

Which, we can

split hairs

all day about whether Socialism is bad[—]

it seems to be because it’s bringing Europe back into fetters;

it’s completely destroyed the regional cultures of most of Southern Europe.

 

Northern Europe has protected

themselves

by distancing itself from the socialism

of the EU.

That’s just what’s happening.

The thriving countries in Europe

are the hard working ones that retained their

Christianity.

The others are faltering,

 

and severely at that.
