+------Tom Brady's Curative Bronze Serpent In Sinai

Tom... Bill Belichick and your
Patriots are
fleeing Hebrews in the
Desert of Sinai (the NFL) faltering,
fussy, full of rancor; Seeking
Canaan, Promised Land of the
Lombardi. And this year’s
5 defeats, Gronk’s injury, 
the loss of Josh Gordon, like
poisonous snakes with fangs
fatal, assailing Pats’s fans’ hopes
from beneath ill-fated sands.
But your vitality, QB acumen,
and pinpoint passes are as a
Shepherd of Midian, Moses, chosen
since birth, witness to (Hall of Fame)
visions in flames of a Bush burning.
When you beat the Jets,
earn Superbowl MVP, like
a Snake of Bronze coiled
about a pole you hoist
in the air high. Curing New
England of all its former ills. Forever.

------Numbers 21:4-9
From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; but the people became impatient on the way. The people spoke against God and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and we detest this miserable food.” Then the Lord sent poisonous serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many Israelites died. The people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned by speaking against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord to take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. And the Lord said to Moses, “Make a poisonous serpent, and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten shall look at it and live.” So Moses made a serpent of bronze, and put it upon a pole; and whenever a serpent bit someone, that person would look at the serpent of bronze and live.

+------Taylor Swift's Bronze Serpent Of  Love In Tony Conti's Sinai

Taylor, my soul is Sinai-
Hebrews grousing; bearing
scars (romantic, Egyptian:
cruel girls’ rejection like
Pharaoh abusive) wandering
over a desert (of Bae longing)
full of impatient rancor. And
my melancholy, dejection are
mortal: poisonous snakes
slithering up from beneath depths
of cynic's sands with fatal fangs
that bite the heart. But babes!
Your blue eyes sanguine,
hopeful, like one set adrift
on the Nile as a child savior. Moses.
Your lips soft, like the cherubs’
in Heaven heralding divine edicts.
If you took me to Starbucks,
kissed me, like you coiling
a serpent of bronze on a pole,
hoisting in skies of my fantasy.
If we met eyes, like me gazing
at it, like my dating life resurrected.
Instantaneously. 

------Numbers 21:4-9
From Mount Hor they set out by the way to the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; but the people became impatient on the way.

The Finale #Christmas

#Christmas

+------The Finale; Jesus' Thoughts While Laying In Mary's Bosom

I heard then, his taunting smirk
of Adam, Eve in Eden chewing;
beneath the din of the
Tree of Knowledge’s branches
rustling, the fruit thereof just
torn from the stem in haste:
“Its over!” I remember, too,
the candlesticks overturned
in Heaven’s Temple, war-embers
smoldering, black smoke rising as
Michael flung him to Earth aflame-
Hades rushing up to cleave the ground,
dismissing the distinction between
upper and lower worlds - the edges
of robes of the 24 elders flanking
my throne charred. And now this –
my soul fleshed, a Virgin’s Womb
Blessed. Ive come to this manger to
finish what we started. To tell Satan
“….No. Hope for mankind has just begun.”


------Luke 2:13-19
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.” So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.

Josh Johnson On The Lyre #NFL #Redskins #TonyandJosh


* Spirit of Jesus pray for me

* Saints pray for me
*  Dedicated to Jesus Christ
#httr #TonyandJosh

+------Josh Johnson On The Lyre 

Josh, the prior scourges
of injury (tragic), crushing
defeat, are an Evil Spirit
tormenting Redskins’s
playoff odds, King Saul
in his chambers anguished.
And Mariota, the Titans D,
like Skins’s fans’ psychosis
debilitating- night horrors
of mobile QBs, myriad sacks,
interceptions. Like Jay Gruden beset
by soul tremors at noon, quaking;
A cracked scepter on the throne
of erstwhile postseason promise.
But you are the heir to the
Superbowl throne; David, riding
to save on a donkey of improbability.
Your agility, arm strength,
NFL acumen a lyre. And after
your third TD, the Titans slain.
Like your fingers strumming
beautiful tunes, soothing for a while. 


------1 Samuel 16:14-23
Now the Spirit of the Lord had departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him. Saul’s attendants said to him, “See, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you. Let our lord command his servants here to search for someone who can play the lyre. He will play when the evil spirit from God comes on you, and you will feel better.” So Saul said to his attendants, “Find someone who plays well and bring him to me.” One of the servants answered, “I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the Lord is with him.” Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.” So Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine and a young goat and sent them with his son David to Saul. David came to Saul and entered his service. Saul liked him very much, and David became one of his armor-bearers. Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying, “Allow David to remain in my service, for I am pleased with him.” Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.

Stubborn

#IamtheHebrewBoys

+------Stubborn; The Thoughts Of The Hebrew Boys In Babylon Tossed Into The Furnace

We always mused on
the nature of the lies/threats
from scoffers Noah endured,
constructing his Ark;
Doves weary of vultures’ shrills
above, darting in and out of
dark clouds. Whether that mob,
biased, found his faith in God
revolting, or the hint of slow
death by drowning awaiting
those refusing to board. But we
arent ones lacking safe passage
to the Unknown’s opposite side.
Our Ark is our faith, King
Nebuchadnezzar’s flames like
40 days and nights’ rain. And
we refuse to bow to idols, even
if it means the end of the world
as we know it.

------Daniel 3:19-25
Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace. Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?” They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.” He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.

The Voyage


* Spirit of Jesus pray for me
* Luke, Joseph, Mary Holy Church pray for me
* Saints pray for me
*  Dedicated to Jesus Christ

+------The Voyage; Jesus' Thoughts While At His Mother's Breast

I remember locking eyes
with Satan then, before he
cratered towards Earth
flaming, Olympians and
Titans colliding for supremacy,
I told him, “I will chase after
you, spitefully.” To prevent
the universe from collapse.
I remember the choral send-off,
archangels, cherubs in unison
cheering my cause, ushered through
the alliance of a Womb of a Virgin
blessed forever. Now at the breast,
in my mother’s arms in a manger, 
the parting words of my Father:
“Jesus, erase the pained past. Tell
Mankind their best is yet to come.” 


------Luke 2:8-20
Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass, which the Lord has made known to us.” And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger. Now when they had seen Him, they made widely known the saying which was told them concerning this Child. And all those who heard it marveled at those things which were told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

The Flight Into Egypt; Joseph's Thoughts While Running From Herod

* Saints pray for me
*  Dedicated to Jesus Christ
#IamJoseph

+------The Flight Into Egypt; Joseph's Thoughts While Running From Herod

“Joseph, Im scared…”
Our fingers interlocking, tightly
clenched in shared anger at
Herod - Adam and Eve’s journey
from Eden into oblivion’s dark - 
Im afraid to admit to Mary that
Im unsettled likewise. When I was
a boy, days before Passover, the
women at Synagogue’d marvel at
Moses divinely spared from Pharaoh’s
mass slaughter of Hebrew babies. 
How Jeremiah perished in Egypt too.
My heart like an eagle,
soaring above, surveilling the moon’s
path ahead of us…The first thing
I’ll teach Jesus, God willing: Youre
not a man, fully, until 
you face the worst of your fears.

------Matthew 2:13-15
Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise, take the young Child and His mother, flee to Egypt, and stay there until I bring you word; for Herod will seek the young Child to destroy Him.” When he arose, he took the young Child and His mother by night and departed for Egypt, and was there until the death of Herod, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet, saying, “Out of Egypt I called My Son.”

Face Like Flint

+------Face Like Flint; Jesus' Thoughts As He Prepared For His Death In Jerusalem

I’ll never forget their
faces disfigured in Eden,
both the angels’ (spinning
swords flaming) and
Adam and Eve’s…trekking
East. I sent my whispers,
in winds ensconced,
at their backs, now
clothed - stitched skin of
animals as tokens of innocence
lost; their garments imbued
with faint echoes of sacrificial
lions howling anguished for
first time- “I promise, I’ll bring
you back here.” I look at
 Jerusalem. I see scars from
whips, betrayal. I see my grave. 

------Isaiah 50:6-7; Luke 9:51
I offered my back to those who beat me,
    my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard;
I did not hide my face
    from mocking and spitting.
Because the Sovereign Lord helps me,
    I will not be disgraced.
Therefore have I set my face like flint,
    and I know I will not be put to shame;
As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

Colt McCoy's Healing, Miraculous, In Philly

*  Dedicated to #tonyandcolt #httr #nfl

+------Colt McCoy's  Healing,  Miraculous, In Philly

Colt, the last two
games’ losses: vexatious.
Alex’s injury, Dallas’s victory,
like lesions/boils on Redskins’s
fans skin festering, a Hebrew
man at the base of Playoff Hope’s
mountain in Galilee (DC) afflicted,
entreating relief. Tonight’s game
like an invitation from your coaches
and teammates: “Colt, if you are
willing you can make me clean.”
Your precision passes in Philly,
pocket agility will be compassion
from a Virgin born Son divine, like
the antiphon “I am willing.” Your 4th
quarter winning TD, like you
reaching and touching Redskins
Nation. Cleansing us of defeat’s
disease, a hideous scourge. To
lead us to the Superbowl. 


------Matthew 8:1-4
When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.” Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Taylor Swift Transfigured Before Tony Conti #taylordatetony #wcw #taylorswift

+------Taylor Swift  Transfigured Before Tony Conti

Taylor, my heart is three
Hebrew disciples (Peter, James,
John) strained; In an arduous
advance up a cruel girls’
dating rejection Mountain
of testing. (Steep, sloping).
Weary of singleness, verging
on romantically iconoclastic.
But babes! Your blue eyes
are waves of Eden’s ocean
brimming with the Spirit of
Life. Your lips, soft, pure like
a Savior of Love, Virgin-born.
If you took me to Starbucks,
kissed me there, like you
suspended in air of my girlfriend
fantasies…glorious. Your smile like
your clothes dazzling white, whiter
than anyone in the world could
bleach them.

------Mark 9:2-10
After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.) Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!” Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus. As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant.
