Via Latina, Via Appia

Via Latina, Via Appia
Giving thirty bucks to the mob
Excuse my religion
I write it in my book
They sang the song of Moses
And bore the pricks of thorns of roses
The testimony in heaven is opened
Stay on track today till it's time to go
The teachers were not kidding
As God does the bidding
Clothed in pure white linen
And breasts girded with golden girdles
I'm a walking advertisement for the new album
But so much more in God's eyes
To see the sea of gifts
Minuses with fine of several gates
To the Servian Wall
Via Avrelia
Across the Tiber
Our winepress is trodden.....





Various Relationships
1-11-16

For smokescreen our apple core we toss aside to stay lean
Something intended to disguise, conceal or deceive
As I say my prayers for a distant brother named Steve
God bless his little dog
By the second vial poured out
All water becomes blood
It's looking good today
The sun is up and shining on my west walls
Report to Aventine via Triumphalis
For our various relationships
You best know just who your friends are today
Bear with me
Me, myself and I
O, what a beautiful mess I am in....





His Invisible Attributes
1-11-16

I want my MP3
For our kosmos
For our Godhead
For our deity
There fell a grievous and noisome sore upon men
All good for the pen
Go your ways and pour out your vials
As for the rest of the days I will know peace in my trials
Come the blood of a dead man not yet dried up
Such I drink from my sixteen ounce cup
Report to the amplitheatre to see another show
I know that I'll be just fine
And Jesus has got this
At the chime of eight I rejoice
Voices say I passed the test....





Smoke 'Em Out
1-11-16

Of smoke and mirrors
To toke but not as fearers
For artful deception
God crush Satan under your feet
Today another devising strategy
Changing the glory made like corruptible man
Finding my religion
I might be a pagan in my smoke filled room
Clean air for almost six months now
Conducting secret negotiation
We move and travel at great speed
And I need another smoke for this disease
Report to Capitoline
Looking for a good time...
