For Ruskin
5-3-16

Teaching the brethren
Saying lest ye be circumcised
After the law of Moses
You will not see it
Judging rashly
As we can almost be it
And there they preached
And much they teached
Careless seems the great avenger
In all immanence
I think about my motivation
For when I return home
And put on a fresh batch
Looking for John Ruskin
Our writer and critic
To inhere as innate
While on God now I wait
Crazy to see the black dodge to arrive
Yet intrinsic
Moreover I call God
For a good record on my tab for tomorrow
Time to walk out and wait to meet you there.....





Dies Declarabit
5-4-16

Dies declarabit
Time will tell on Mount Aetna in Sicily
The gods defeat the rebel giants
I can see you now
Dies declarabit
Today if you hear his voice
Harden not your hearts as in the day of provocation
There's no limit to what we can write about it
We're going to smoke them out
Looking for Thomas Moore
And his "Weep Not For Those"
Seeing my works forty years
Big trouble
I'll be there on the double
Take heed lest there be in you
An evil heart of unbelief
Dies declarabit
Time will tell....





If Indeed I Must
5-4-16

Joy of the dust and gladness of the grave
If indeed I must
I get a clean shave
America has an ugly side and still I crave
Exhort one another daily
While it is called today
The wires melt in joy
For another video cassette recorder
To destroy eldritch and ghostly
Soon it's time for the four o clock news
And something to eat
Tomorrow is another day to write my rhyme and catch the beat
Weird and supernatural steadfast till the end....
