David and Goliath Retold #TonyandSteph


* Jesus pray for me
* David pray for me
*Dedicated to #TonyandSteph

+-----David and Goliath Retold;Game 7 Of The WCF

Steph, by now you should be accustomed
to the raucous and demonstrative jeering
against your dreams of a second ring, the
boisterous 3-1 Philistine taunts of the
Oklahoma City Thunder incited by Russell
Westbrook, dirt flung and spittle of Dagon
in the Valley of Elah, Oracle Arena. Though
they band together against you furiously as
one man 9 feet tall, ostensibly formidable
and surly, dried drool on his disheveled beard –
Steve Adams, Serge Ibaka, Kevin Durant – with
bronze helmet of rebounding, coat of mail of shot
blocking that weighs five thousand shekels,
spearhead of hard picks six hundred shekels,
your strength comes from within. The cold lonely
nights shepherding on the knoll - dribbling shooting
and passing as prayers to Israel’s God -prepped
you well for this night. All it takes is one game, one
more win like the other two, slain lion and bear,
one rock from the sling, and this “Goliath” falls dead.
The head of OKC’s season dangling in your hand.


-----1 Samuel 17:4-11
And a champion went out from the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span. He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was armed with a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze. And he had bronze armor on his legs and a bronze javelin between his shoulders. Now the staff of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his iron spearhead weighed six hundred shekels; and a shield-bearer went before him. Then he stood and cried out to the armies of Israel, and said to them, “Why have you come out to line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.” And the Philistine said, “I defy the armies of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.” When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

The Last Supper Of Steph's Three Point Shot


* Jesus pray for me
* Luke pray for me
* Saints pray for me
* Dedicated to #TonyandSteph, #StephisJudas

As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. So Jesus told him, “What you are about to do, do quickly.” – John 13:27

+--------The Last Supper Of Steph's Three Point Shot

Steph, stare disdainfully
over flickering flames of
flattery that dance atop the
wick- deafen your ears to this
insipid choral singing; Your three point
shot as your assumed Lord and
Savior, bearded, tall, Galilean, full
of 73 regular season wins’ delusion,
a soul inundated with lying sitting
at table with 11 disciples of
your past season’s accolades, the
wine, the bread and the humming,
oblivious to its affects on the NBA’s
postseason. You must rise and go,
steal away behind darkness’ curtain,
tiptoeing into the synagogue
of “dunking and driving into the paint
every play,” the snake slithering
up the backside of the tree silently
hissing at Adam. Forsaking your gold
jumpshot for 30 pieces of silver is
worth stats diminished. If you betray
it, you’ll truly be free. The prophesied
Finals comes only if your former
“Perimeter Messiah” hangs bloody
on a tree of inactivity, his hands driven
in by nails of soldiers who share
your resentment.


----Luke 22:1-6
Now the Festival of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, and the chief priests and the teachers of the law were looking for some way to get rid of Jesus, for they were afraid of the people. Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the Twelve. And Judas went to the chief priests and the officers of the temple guard and discussed with them how he might betray Jesus. They were delighted and agreed to give him money. He consented, and watched for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them when no crowd was present

Taylor Swift, Master, Have Mercy On Us!!! #TaylorDateTony


* Jesus pray for me

* Dedicated to #TaylorDateTony

+--------Taylor Swift, Master, Have Mercy On Us!!!

Oh Taylor, loneliness
is my carbuncle, these unmet
yearnings for a #bae over the
span of many years an ulcer
of the worst kind; you see, rejection
from girls, their bacterially cruel dating
refusals, is an agonizing heart boil
festering without a cure, humiliating pain
in Jerusalem of a man’s soul rupturing.
Babes, my deep desire to fall in love
stampedes barefoot before you as ten
leprous men soliciting at least balm
of kindness for their malaise crying out
“Taylor, our Queen have pity on us!!!”
If you would only drink coffee with me
at Starbucks, kiss me, I swear all skin
of my self confidence would radiate
without blemish before priests of my
public reputation. Savior of blonde hair
and stunning blue eyes, lilting voice
of an angel, I fling myself at your feet
of mercy – will you date me? Will you
make me whole again?

----Luke 17:11-19
Now on his way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria and Galilee. As he was going into a village, ten men who had leprosy met him. They stood at a distance and called out in a loud voice, “Jesus, Master, have pity on us!” When he saw them, he said, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And as they went, they were cleansed. One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked him—and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, “Were not all ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give praise to God except this foreigner?” Then he said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well.”

#IamMalachi #TheEmoBible

+--------Malachi 3:1 Reinterpreted 

I know, you tire of being berated
by bad tempered Persians,
the cutting glances by ruling classes
for obstructing paths of their frivolous
processions through town, as objects
of scorn I see the ghastly bruises on
your faces from clubs of brusque tax
collectors bilking your finances for regalia
for gaudy pagan festivals while at night
you starve. Yes, you are so far
removed from your former independence
some of your kids cant recall David’s
sling, Goliath’s head in his hands. Or
Israel’s dignity revived by Hezekiah, our
sharing pride smiles and glory in the historic
desecration of the Baals. But take heart,
my messenger is coming who will prepare
the way before me. He and I come shortly
....to liberate. When you see my face I
swear you will see Solomon’s Temple again
glimmering -Mercy personified as Lord and
Savior of The Earth, even for heathens.  

----Malachi 3:1
I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the LORD Almighty

The Western Conference Finals Game 4; Judgment Day


* Jesus pray for me
* John pray for me
* Saints pray for me
* Dedicated to #TonyandSteph #IamBardCurry

+--------The Western Conference Finals Game 4; Judgment Day

Steph, behold, there is warring in
the cosmos right now, the clangor
of angel blades, shouts of fury,
shouts of rage like peals of thunder,
sparks and flashes of lightning in
a sky-cum-celestial melee…tinged red
due to all the blood of the weak
and fallen. But what I really mean to say
is that this is a metaphor for Oklahoma
City, the Warriors and Thunder fighting
in these last days
to influence the fate of the NBA world.
Armageddon begun in the Western
Conference. And your three point shot is
a snarling, menacing white horse, and
you its champion rider "faithful and true."
On Tuesday let your eyes be blazing
fire, set on your head your many
MVP titles as crowns; its time to rule
Durant and Westbook with a triple-
doubled iron scepter. Tread on the
Thunder’s title hopes as the winepress
of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.    L
(Make their joy burn in the Lake of Fire
of a humiliating sulfurous defeat.)


----Revelation 19:11-21
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords. And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in midair, “Come, gather together for the great supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of kings, generals, and the mighty, of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and slave, great and small.” Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

Taylor Swift and Tony Conti; Adam and Eve In 2016 #TaylorDateTony

* Jesus pray for me
* Saints pray for me
* Dedicated to #TaylorDateTony


+--------Taylor Swift and Tony Conti; Adam and Eve In 2016

Taylor I wish I could go
back with you to where it
all began, the quintessence
of expectation and longing sated,
of love –pure- in a paradisiac
garden, soft skin of lips touching
soft skin of lips, ankle deep
in an eternal stream of ecstasy,
Man and Woman both enfolded
in the reassuring arms of a divine
breeze. I wish this was us. Before
slithering notions of heartbreak,
before lies of inferiority dangled fork-
tongued and stolid from a rotted tree
of dumb girls’ romantic rejection,
peddling to me rancid fruit of sorrow
that should’ve remained forbidden
forever.  I would cup your chin in
my hands and whisper to your soul
“Taylor Swift – flesh of my flesh…
bone of my bone….always” softly.


----Genesis 2:18-25
Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. So the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The LORD God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.
The man said,
            “This is now bone of my bones,
            And flesh of my flesh;
            She shall be called Woman,
            Because she was taken out of Man.”
For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

#TonyandBernie #FeelTheBern


+--------AMERICA, BERNING

America, Bernie Sanders,
presidential heir apparent
enthroned as True Candidate of Justice,
anxiously twirls a principled scepter
of lightning and sulfur. To him our polarity
of economic classes is inane smolder
of politics provocatively rising -
ash-screams of uneducated orphans
that solicit intervention, stench of
sick people without healthcare that
sparks vengeance. As the rich callously
bake wealth-bread and the working poor
slumped outside doors of their opulence
sniff the disingenuous aroma of yeast’s
opportunity, a flash and flicker and then
flames of rage are his eyes. Yes, when
elected he will stand, disrobe to ride a
vetoing chariot on just winds, rains
of fire and brimstone of equitability and
fairness preceding, screaming angels
flanking him on the way to Congress, the
modern day Sodom ABOUT TO BERN.

----Ezekiel 16:49
Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy

The Bias Of Bethesda

#IamtheInfirm

+-------- "The Bias Of  Bethesda; The Thoughts Of The Infirm Man By The Pool When Speaking With Jesus"

For thirty eight years Ive realized my
dreams in the spontaneous joy of
others -when the vortex of mighty winds
paves the path for the porch plunging into
the pool of prosperity beside my bed by
a salvific angel. Obfuscation's thin film
vigorously peeled from a man’s virgin
eyes, the birth of sight from a barren womb
of blindness like a firstborn child molting
an amniotic sac of the impossible;
Crippled women leaping the way
wolves leap beneath a full winter
moon, thickened fur, running wild away
from their lives of sorrow, baring teeth,
growling at memories of past agony
forever. I would like to say I find solace
in such things. But I don’t anymore.
No one thinks of me before they lunge
in after all these years– whispers of
the angel advising them “pay no mind
to the forsaken one,” I swear I hear them.    
 
---------------John 5:1-9
After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

+--------Dreams Of The Knoll Come True; The Thoughts Of David Upon Seeing Samuel Approach Him With Anointing Oil

The stars above the knoll prepped
me a long time ago for this, I think.
Those nightly sky prophecies of greatness
spanning many, many years…letters
written to me in constellations, my head
settled on the woolly back of sheep
…a hunter opposing a lion…
projections of my inner self painted
by angels and celebrated well before
manifesting in the flesh. Before scars
and beasts' blood mangled my hands.
And now, a New Day’s sun groans
impetuously to burn up my accustomed
mediocrity, Samuel hastening towards me
with a horn of oil befitting a king. My family,
my neighbors nonplussed, terrified and
following closely behind. This is
everything I dreamed it would be, that
flash of destiny wherein God would say
– David, your time is now.

----1 Samuel 16:11-13
And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all thy children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither. And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he. Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah

+--------To Reset In Paradise; The Thoughts Of The Thief On The Cross Dying Next To Jesus

I know he sees, those scrutinous owl
eyes wisened by an eternity’s
perspective on all things, those eyes
of the moon able to peer into the depths
of my heart’s dark shades of night,
a soul blackened by capital crimes.
But does he see me for who I am,
really? Or does he just see skin flayed
hanging from nails of rusted iron stained
with other wicked men’s blood who too
were translated with angst into Hades
unpardoned?  I wish He would glance
at my conscience ashamed, its willingness
to be reborn just to right all wrongs,
even walk unpaved Roman roads begging
barefoot a thousand years. Does he know
that Im sorry, I made my mistakes…but that
all I want right now is clemency? To go
somplace New where Im loved, not judged?


----Luke 23:39-43
One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!” But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!” And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.

The Last Words Of Joab


* Jesus pray for me
* King David pray for me
* Saints pray for me
#IamJoab

When the news reached Joab, who had conspired with Adonijah though not with Absalom, he fled to the tent of the LORD and took hold of the horns of the altar 1Kings 2:28

+--------"The Last Words Of Joab (As He Lay Bleeding In The Tabernacle)"

My soul began its decay
when I swore the oath of office,
whatever virtue I received from
my mother was exposed to too
much cynicism of civics too soon then
to subsist, a peacetime soldier mortally
wounded by treachery's arrow, staggering
unexpectedly. I had to relearn my
vernaculars: hidden-dagger-speak, that
snide and disingenous dialectic of
stalled negotiations, to assimilate
into my psyche a refined taste, appetite
for sex also death, the keen bloodlust
for all men whether guilty or innocent.
As a kid I overheard anecdotes of
Saul advising his son about the guile
and sleaze of the Judges, the warring
and sedition amongst Levites over
Ashteroth despite a conscience leaning
towards the Law of Moses. So I became
a conscience killer, Id come to trust none,
to disregard any and every dichotomy
Id ever known. Castle life is lying,
dishonesty its pregant womb, there is
nothing else. So in the next life I hope I'm
judged as nothing more
than just another politician.

----1 Kings 2:31-34
And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father. And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah. Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the Lord. So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

Taylor my singleness is
full of guilt and guile. Though
commander of a valiant army
of good intentions to date
someone, it has delighted in
corruption - dried blood of
romance on its coat of arms,
a brazen murderer
of all my previous tries at falling
in love- too bold, selfish and
assertive with girls. May the
memories of all of these Ive
offended rest in peace; Abner,
Absalom, Uriah and Amasa. Oh
babes, wont you draw near to
avenge me, unsheathe the
sword of your charm and take me
to coffee? Your blonde hair
and blue eyes like a determined
bounty hunter of a King of new
opportunities, lusting for death.
Though he hold onto the horns
of the sacred altar of second
chances, your kiss would end this.
A lifeless body lying on the tent
floor, just a whisper of my broken
heart since healed. Joab goodbye.    



---------------2 Kings 2:5-10; 28-34
Moreover thou knowest also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two captains of the hosts of Israel, unto Abner the son of Ner, and unto Amasa the son of Jether, whom he slew, and shed the blood of war in peace, and put the blood of war upon his girdle that was about his loins, and in his shoes that were on his feet. Do therefore according to thy wisdom, and let not his hoar head go down to the grave in peace. But shew kindness unto the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be of those that eat at thy table: for so they came to me when I fled because of Absalom thy brother. And, behold, thou hast with thee Shimei the son of Gera, a Benjamite of Bahurim, which cursed me with a grievous curse in the day when I went to Mahanaim: but he came down to meet me at Jordan, and I sware to him by the Lord, saying, I will not put thee to death with the sword. Now therefore hold him not guiltless: for thou art a wise man, and knowest what thou oughtest to do unto him; but his hoar head bring thou down to the grave with blood. So David slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; Then tidings came to Joab: for Joab had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord, and caught hold on the horns of the altar. And it was told king Solomon that Joab was fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord; and, behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him. And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the Lord, and said unto him, Thus saith the king, Come forth. And he said, Nay; but I will die here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, saying, Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me. And the king said unto him, Do as he hath said, and fall upon him, and bury him; that thou mayest take away the innocent blood, which Joab shed, from me, and from the house of my father. And the Lord shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and better than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, to wit, Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah. Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the Lord. So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, and fell upon him, and slew him: and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

Our Love In The Lion's Den


* Jesus pray for me
* Daniel pray for me
* Saints pray for me
* Dedicated to Kendal Jenner #TonyandKendall

+--------Our Love In The Lion's Den

Kendall my love for you is
Darius the Mede, King of
Babylon by day sleepless
sympathizer of the lonely and
dateless at night. The conniving
girls in my life are Presidents
and princes of the royal court,
subversive subjects, saboteurs
of stated intentions of the throne,
who’d undermine all Ive hoped
for my entire life by impetuously
flinging my heart into a dire lion’s
den of repeated romantic repudiations.
Oh babes, wont you be my angel and
marry me, wont you at least drink coffee
with me? Imbue me with strength beyond
the stone to stroke whiskers of beasts
of my worst fears of being forever
forsook, bereft of your rapturous smile,
olive skin and dark eyes of captivation?
Oh your kiss would be ethereal,
dazzling white light of presence in my dark,
your smile celestial wings flapping, the
scepter of your sexy voice threatening all
aggressive growling or fangs of despair and
pity…the feline jaws of low self esteem tightly
clenched somehow overcome with sustained
servility. Then, the King could finally rest,
he’d dream of us as husband and wife
…happily ever after a Kingdom of peace.  


----Daniel 6:12-28
Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day. Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him. Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed. Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel. Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting: neither were instruments of musick brought before him: and his sleep went from him. Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever. My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Then was the king exceedingly glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.
And the king commanded, and they brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den. Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you. I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivereth and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions. So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

#TonyandMinaj

+--------"My Visions Of Our Love" 

Nicki, I have not known encouragement
in these manacles on this bank; Wrists
of my self confidence bruised by
impenetrable and constricting singlehood
made of iron, fastened on by cruel girls as
Babylonian lords with broad shoulders and
menacing glares… snapping their whips
of romantic rejection, my back scarred for
projecting inner fantasies of finding
a date into the River Chebar. Oh babes
if only you would have coffee with me!!! Your
smooth brown skin and soft lips would
conjure a whirlwind of emotions within, a great
cloud with raging fire of comfort engulfing itself.
You see my desire for you is like
four strange creatures with four faces
and four wings:  man, lion, ox, eagle – the
four faces and phases of love correlative
to the passion, coals burning when
they move– skin like the burnished
bronze of a master craftsman of soulmates.
Your smile, beryl wheels
accompanying these beasts of affection over
steam of Green Tea Lattes, joy whizzing
around us as wheels within wheels, really.
And I would just keep staring across the table
at you, lost in time; rims full of eyes on their
circumference that never sleep or slumber.

----Ezekiel 1:4-21
Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire. Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings. Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze. The hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings. Their wings touched one another. The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward. As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle. Thus were their faces. Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and two covered their bodies. And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went. As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures. The fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning. And the living creatures ran back and forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning. Now as I looked at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went. As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

Pregnant With Justice


* Jesus pray for me
* Mary pray for me
* Saints pray for me
#MothersDay

+--------"Pregnant With  Justice; The Thoughts Of The Virgin Mary After The Angel Gabriel Left Her Presence"

I rub my hands together
before the fireplace as if my
soul is kneading hope, baking
bread of scorn, yeast rage, loaf
of two hundred years’ disdain of Assyria
Babylon and Rome. And this winter wind
chills to the bone. I think of Caesar’s
children warm, buffered by
window panes, the glass a crass
soldier’s shield protecting perks and
pomp of the privileged. And my hut has
no glass pane as most Jewish people
have no hope…teeth chattering
and dying with the seasons. Stiff fingers
of bitter soul, chapped lips of the heart.
The angel said a child must be virgin
born of me to save us from our plight…
this is welcome news. I have waited
patiently for this; When the power
structure of “The Modern World
Empire” inverts, and the oppressed
wield all the power. The Blessed day
when King David again reigns….
and Caesar turns slave. Groveling.

----Luke 1:46-55
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever.

AMANDA

+--------AMANDA; A Sodom Love Story

Amanda, whenever you would talk
to me in  the gym or…whenever I
was the object of your two
spellbinding blue eyes’ gaze and
hypnotic Jersey-accent, fire and
brimstone fell from the sky behind me
as from Heaven. As from an angry
Divinity wanting to retaliate against a
depraved humanity, recouping dignity
for the heinous perversion of his
created beings before Him gone wild -my
recurrent flashbacks of girls in the past who
rejected me…like a mob of lecherous
men beating and thrashing the door
of my self confidence demanding to
rape the angels of the sacred hope I had of
meeting a girl who actually loved me that
I have all my life tried to shield from
wounds. Thing is, you were never really
single but I still imagine us married
sometimes…you tightly clenching
my heart by the hand and racing for refuge
from the emotional cataclysm. We would
just smile and blush in a tiny remote town,
everything and everyone in our lives just
smoke and ash of a past life before we met.

----Genesis 19:16
When he hesitated, the men grasped his hand and the hands of his wife and of his two daughters and led them safely out of the city, for the LORD was merciful to them

Why I Must Leave


* Jesus pray for me
* John pray for me
* Saints pray for me

+--------"Why I Must Leave;  Jesus' Words To His Apostles Regarding The Holy Spirit

I remember when “Time” was
just an ideological construct
in Our essence. Expression was
axiomatic from intent, and so not
needed. We were “creation” at rest,
all cosmos and the galaxies
indeterminate and inert in an eternally
blissful streaming unconscious
consciousness, a divine indivisible
whole: “GOD” as monolithic
existence- Father, Son and Spirit
vortexing, smiling at each other. Then
we spoke Light atop water and earth
we crafted, then we materialized all
the good we knew, Six Blessed Days
of molecules and matter, all skin of
man and beast before a brief “Sabbath”
return to our normal. What I mean to say
is if I dont leave now, I cant impart
My Loving Inner Confidence I had before
it all began in Eden- the sin, separation,
Satan and crucifixion. When He comes
He will continually suffuse your spirits
with that heavenly ecstasy I experienced
prior to being born, sustaining you in all
your coming afflictions –His Name is
The Comforter, Sweet Sweet Paraclete.


----John 16:1-7
These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended. They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me. But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you. But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

Taylor Swift's Love In My Lonely Diaspora #TaylorDateTony


* Jesus pray for me
* Ezekiel pray for me
* Saints pray for me
* Dedicated to #TaylorDateTony

+--------Taylor Swift's Love In My Lonely Diaspora

Taylor, I know what its like to
transgress romantic laws of girls,
my previous attempts to date them
like sacrilege in the all-seeing eyes of an
angry God. Female rejection is savage
and Babylonian, like siege warfare
waged in 586 BC, guerrilla tactics, a battering
ram of Nebuchadnezzar full of rage. The fake
smiles are cruel beams of wood fortified by
iron tips waylaying the Temple walls of
my self worth, tears in my eyes falling like
bloody stone upon stone upon
innocent bone. Oh babes, my hope now is
the Holy of Holies razed! Dust from sand flits
in my enslaved eyes amongst other lonely
and single heathen captives. Wont you
show me mercy? Your beautiful face in a
Vision rivets my soul like divine compassion
in a diaspora of emotions, your soft
lips pressed against mine would be the
impartation a brand new spirit within me. If
you took me to Starbucks, I swear my heart
of stone would turn to flesh again. Only then
could I go back home to Jerusalem happy.    

----Ezekiel 36:20-29
And when they entered unto the heathen, whither they went, they profaned my holy name, when they said to them, These are the people of the Lord, and are gone forth out of his land. But I had pity for mine holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the heathen, whither they went. Therefore say unto the house of Israel, thus saith the Lord God; I do not this for your sakes, O house of Israel, but for mine holy name's sake, which ye have profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the heathen shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord God, when I shall be sanctified in you before their eyes. For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

RG3's DC Crucifixion


* Jesus pray for me
* Matthew pray for me
* Saints pray for me
#RG3WillRise

+--------RG3's DC Crucifixion
Robert, it pained me to watch you fettered and led
away (with your gym bag) from Fed Ex Field,
pushed and pulled by a cavalcade of pompous
Redskins officials clad in condescension as leather
armor with rusted breastplates, fingers curled about
pointed spears of unfounded and biased slander.
The DC sports media and fickle fans this roaring,
salivating mob of Romans, Greeks and Jews
jeering, spitting along the way to see the Prefect.
And Jay Gruden was Pontius Pilate rolling his eyes
before a copper bowl of water presenting you
before other teams, your bonds like dirt washed
from his hands. His wife futilely attempted to warn
him in a dream against this...to abstain from
disastrous action: Dan Snyder too incapacitated
to void the decision. Gruden's bold proclamation to
the NFL: BEHOLD THE MAN RG3!  Assuming your
career would end by crucifixion. But true believers,
we know you will rise again in Pro Bowl glory.

---Matthew 27:24
When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"

The Battle For Answered Prayer: Anthem Of Archangels


* Jesus pray for me
* Michael pray for me
* Saints pray for me
#IamMichaelTheArchangel

+--------The Battle For Answered Prayer: Anthem Of Archangels; The Thoughts Of Saint Michael

I knew the true war began when the
upheaval ended. God watched the
melodrama unfold intently from His throne.
I saw it in his eyes hollowed by defeat,
behind blades clashing, beneath screams,
a resignation to rapacious malice, intending
to blight all of creation with his sin
somehow, passing on to man scars of an
ethereal psyche of lost identity, an angel
of light badly wounded in battle flung forcefully,
wings clipped, from Heaven down to nether
shadows seething. So whenever a
prayer is uttered to God by his people,
all of us Archangels cast each other a glance
and nod, solemnly. We know to again
unsheathe our swords and fight. To blow the
trumpet and rush down to a Satanic earth,
so evil wont ever prevail against the Good.

---Daniel 10:11-14
And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling. Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.

Beholding The Man



*Jesus pray for me
*John pray for me
*Saints pray for me
#IamPontiusPilate The POETIC Pontius Pilate baby!!! #wooooooooooooo!


While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, “Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him.” – Matthew 27:19

+--------Beholding The Man; Pilate's Thoughts As He Presented Jesus To The Public To Be Crucified

Before me in stark silence stands Society’s
Scorned crowned in bramble, draped in
a purple robe smeared in blood splotches;
A lamb that sees the wolf but doesnt want
to run from pain, a crazed conviction to die.  
He was laden with lofty ambitions of saving all of
us they say, trying to help the same kin
giddied at the thought of my soldiers, no trace
of a conscience, war pawns of Rome’s manifest
destiny numb to death with its attendant wailing,
tearing open his skin with nails atop a hill littered
with human skulls. Who knows if any of those
were wrongly condemned? They say he raised
the dead, fed five thousand men famished. That
he walked on waves as dry land. For the record
I find no fault, I publicly wash myself clean,
hands leary of guilt- but behold Jerusalem, HERE
IS THE MAN!!!! (You want killed, and the rest of
the world just cant seem to understand….)
   


 
---------------John 19:1-16
Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him.
And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands. Pilate therefore went forth again, and saith unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye may know that I find no fault in him. Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him. The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin. And from thenceforth Pilate sought to release him: but the Jews cried out, saying, If thou let this man go, thou art not Caesar's friend: whosoever maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar. When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he brought Jesus forth, and sat down in the judgment seat in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King! But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar. Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
