Not now God


Not now God …
I am about to close my eyes to sleep
and your breath is upon my ear,
the Word ready by You to be expressed.

How is this so?

Can You not see I am tired awaiting rest?
Are You unclear as to where I am
and in what state I exist?

No, I am neither, but undertake to be
as and when I am to desire your attention
as time is of the essence
and life is short to be discounting
My Worth, My Word to your ear.

I am and in that consciousness
I am all powerful
and My Mind, as thought produces evidence
whenever I am to choose
a necessity, an essential need.

And here I am –
so listen consciously
to My Word.

No satisfaction guaranteed


No satisfaction guaranteed – when a winner dies.

The value of an army- is powerful stuff
fight at will
the winner a hero
the booty immense.

But fail to be a winner
then the race is on
to find an excuse
death the best

But who is the victim – to be crucified
to make amends
for all that money spent and worse
the people dying – wounded in part
and most of them dead.

But this is not a problem –
collateral is evident anywhere you look.
This that is troubling
is to find a reason to begin over again
to claim that booty – endlessly.

The aftermath of capitalism gone awry


It’s hell down here I cannot escape
my burden is far overdue for a release.

Long ago I swore I would envelop the Lord,
but swallowed a pill of greed instead.

So here, in the aftermath of capitalism gone awry
I lost my mind as greed over-ruled
any good sense I had of fair play and right.

My mind is set, the compass glued
I have no clear guidance here
swallowed by a sense of power
I lost and now declare …

The devil life is not the course
to value all human life and care –
that each and every step I took
was one closer to here in a Devil’s lair.

For how long…


They came for me to listen
morning, night and in-between –
the dreaming state of an unknown territory,
but films endless into night and dawn.

So much knowledge
So much pain, delight and gain.
Promises unending, pleasure unknown,
but often illusionary, hapless, but desired.

The world changes little
the people claim their gold coin at others expense,
but there it goes as a coin unattended
rolling and swerving as it goes its own way
among the rubble and disdain,
the purgatory of man
until at last, the man no longer can keep levelled
by that passing opportunity, promise or delight.

The coin – our opportunity, ungathered,
lost on an endless unachievable roll.

What next…

I am lost


Lost, lost – I am lost –
the world around me is falling apart,
the value of man decaying
as rust on iron strong –
now withering and weak.

Lost is my virtue, my lion and strength,
my calibre, the sabre, the sword on my chest.

Labour not – no more I say
life is precious
work not want,
but of that ridiculous spent doom
greed I am afraid, in the end
is no more no less –
but of that greed abandonment of man –
no rest.

No way out
lost and lonely, poor
but wealthy what the point?

Idleness, a sport of man
even though work for wealth
is his initial birth plan.
