So, David had sowed a seed---a king, And that King was Solomon. So did Satan once sow a seed,--- And that seed was Death. By the rape of Bathsheba Came into the world Solomon. By the rape of Scylla Came into the world Death. Why does God choose one man And another man He hates? All do their crimes,--- Yet one is destined to heaven But the other is destined for hell. It is an offensive thing, This cross. Great offense That two men, having lived one life One could be sent to paradise; The other sent to hell. I suppose that is the very breadth of it. Two men, exactly the same, One finds God While the other, he will not. What divine messenger spreads God's Word, It is to one eternal life So to another it is eternal damnation. What separates the two, in All likelihood, Is the beating heart. Two men live perfectly symmetrical lives, All which determines grace or gory pain: It is that beating thing beneath our chest. Keep it good, unstained, Though one had done what David had done, One will still see eternal life.

The Daemon of the Market
The Shadow Jinn, with the blackened scales in hand Weighs the copper, silver, gold; he gives and takes. Whom he bestows glory upon That man is rich, famous and honored. Whom he withholds the grains of copper and gold That man is obscure, and will die. He controls all prosperity upon the Earth, With the face of an old man and golden grill. He is pale like the ashen remnants of fire, And he is cold as the chilly February ice. He bestows fortune upon whom he entrusts it, And he withholds fortune upon whom he will not. There is a story, old as the ancient days That an Angel of great might will bind him In a prison for one thousand years. At that time, the scales will be in the hand Of the just---for this Jinn controlled the world For a time. And it is he who makes man destitute. It is he who caused all the suffering in the world.
Critics Destroy
How many times I've seen a man sacrifice his creation To a critic. How many times I've seen that same man Diminish his art At their alter. Light turns to darkness. Criticism destroys pure artistic aims--- Except where it compounds A technical flaw. Be true to your art. Do not let the dark hand of another Taint it. You either are an artist. Or you are not.
Liberty Watches
Oh, Maria, from sea to shining sea, From the canyon which the Giant dug, To the city where thy greenly feet stand; Songs against thy fat land are proudly sung As the blackened Cherethim in armies March across thy fords and burn thy sweet land, So babes are shot in the streets untimely, Oh! great black armies make their ghastly stand. The speech of Maria's chosen do dim, The cheerful songs of those merry with wine Do stop in the dead of night; children Die, of all creeds and runes, those children die--- The black armies of the Cherethim march The snakes and cockatrices bite venom Into the hearts of all dared merry men, Who. from their daily coffers, now are shunned.
Oh, Maria, From Sea to Shining Sea

Black Lives Matter
Sallow silence... How can I not say "Black Lives Matter"? How can anyone say it? Yet, politically charged, The semantics of the group make it so That it is pure rhetoric. Black Lives Matter, So we must forfeit our fortune... Our aspirations... Our futures... Our freedoms... To even say this, I know, Puts me under their condemnation. Yet, I support the fact that Black Lives Matter. So much so, that I believe the organization could effect real change. I see its potential, To free me from my own bonds. But, it will not. Rather, it will take from me everything I've worked for. To fix the problems, Abolish criminal records. For it is not a race that is subjugated, But those of us who have sinned, And none will let us regain our footing. Many blacks live good lives, And it's because they hadn't gotten into trouble. Yet, a cop shouldn't harass a black man. A man should be judged on the content of his character. There is a certain mien to a bad man That on black or white, It can be seen, And it can be understood that such a man is bad. Perhaps it is misfortune that brings that mien, But it is a universal fact. Judge the content of character, A lot of character traits can be known at first glance. It can be known, So to purge the known, Purge the criminal records. Yet, don't abolish the people who protect us.
Freedom of Speech
It's gone. The corporation can take it from you By simply lolling you to sleep. Withdraw the hand that feeds And one cannot eat. Extort, so that the only way to earn bread Is to obey the companies that tell you. 14,000,000 people were killed in the Holocaust. 20,000,000 people were killed in Stalin's Holocaust. 100,000,000 people were killed in Mao's Holocaust. Children die in war. When we dropped our bombs, did it only kill men? Men with helmets? No, women, children, they died too When we bombed Germany. Ask any soldier how to win an occupation? Kill down to the last child. If God said to do it once, Once in all of history. Then consider the cannibals that they murdered. Slavery is a punishment inflicted on a nation. When that nation ritualistically cannibalizes its infants When that nation sodomizes its child prostitutes When that society sacrifices little children I think putting them to work is a mitigated sentence. God does, in fact, destroy. He will bring plauges. And those plagues comfort me. What else is to be done to a nation of murderers Who smear Fetus over their skin To stay healthy? Who barter the blood of infants For their products? Why is what is about to happen will happen? Because there is no right and wrong To this generation. Murder is good, if it's in the name of Anarchy and violence. But, God's war is far too viscous. The Crusades were defensive wars, To protect against invaders. Ask any Muslim whether it is justified to defend your territory At a cost of human life. Americans piously drop bombs in Iraq And burst women and children's flesh Yet it is only unethical if it's a sword. Let the children wander in their war zones... Because that's right. YouTube is censoring this information. It's the cold hard truths. War, the more violent side wins. That's why we don't fight them. That's why there are nation states Which give bounds, so remove not the ancient boundaries. What is wicked is waging war with kids gloves So an entire continent suffers. What is immoral is marching armies With the thought that war can be fought reserved... Meanwhile, children lose everything, and get indoctrinated. Ask any soldier about those verses in the Bible That talk about war. Those who have killed a child, for in war everything is justified. That is why one ought not fight it. War is wicked, because believe in the Bible And it makes war the most wicked thing in the world. That is why God is moral. Because He doesn't make war glorious. He doesn't make war anything but what it is... Supreme evil. And with that, it is why the Law of War brings me comfort That it ought not be fought in our day and age. And all of this is censored on Your Television.
