The greed-filled lane

It said to me, into the ear of inner listening and understanding, of whatever is required, at the very least one must pay attention …

Who art thou among the others wanting and desiring, wishing and praying for more, much more than is ever to be necessary to have a good and prosperous life?

I said yes, it is I, the fellow traveller on this Earth wanting and desiring, wishing and praying as any good man or woman would do where health and prosperity of life is concerned.

Do you not hear me, you silly child…
This that I am to say is about wealth beyond any fair play or kindly acts.
This that I say is beyond any reverence for life and care for the human being – that of the lowly and middle classes beyond the depths of despair.
This that I refer to is about sustenance and fair play, rightful behaviour and the consequences if that kind of behaviour is not in place – instilled. In fact, so known as to be outrageous to contend otherwise.

The Devil spoke in harsh reply …

Don’t you be a silly fool and listen to those enormously proud and wise ways, for that will only result in some form of hardship like having to care for your fellow man.
And that, my friend is totally unnecessary and outrageous; in itself a foolish game to play.

My way, the only way for the greedy folk as yourselves, is to wrongly play the game of life and suppress any form of conscience prick. Involve yourself foolhardy, but necessary into the greed momentum and fail as you will, drive hard as you can; nothing, yes nothing will allow you to enter the kingdom of heaven for that is quite a ridiculous myth.

The way and only way is to play the game I instilled long before your birth, well before your ancestors. Play that of the devilish, forward planning, greed escaping wrath – but wrongly to your fellow compatriots for they in themselves care so little for your well-being.
So henceforth come to me, oh yes do come my way for here I like you to do for me what the gods predict is far too dangerous in the end, for they insist that this type of behaviour will eventually drive you mad.

Well, that being said, it is far better to root yourself in the greed filled lane and drive yourself into oblivion than play God’s words and game, for that leads to a more righteous folk and these end up no differently, but for them conscience freed.

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…
