The Last Plimsoll

You brood of vipers,
how can you who are evil
say anything good?
For the mouth speaks
what the heart is full of.
A good man brings good things
out of the good stored up in him,
and an evil man brings evil things
out of the evil stored up in him.
But I tell you
everyone will have to give account
on the day of judgment
for every empty word
they have spoken.
By your every word
you will be justified
and by your every word
you will be condemned.
~ Matthew 12



Pink rat cul-de-sac,
defending your position
Old hat, fat cat
you'll believe that your condition
Brings me down
You don't consider how I plead
You still perform your dirty deed
How dirty can you be?

Bad business,
Chief witness,
Left behind
Third party,
dumb smarty
I don't mind

Fat punk, low down skunk
remember what you told me
Mad monk, blind drunk,
be a good boy and reward me
Come on, the last plimsoll on my feet
will lead me where the squealers meet
I'm squealing how are you?

Bad business,
Chief witness,
Left behind
Third party,
dumb smarty
I don't mind

I had the strangest feeling
I almost hit the ceiling
I think someone is stealing me

Big Blah Gahs

They sharpen their tongues like swords
and aim cruel words like deadly arrows.
~ Psalm 64



"The empty babbling of men
who constantly mistake
their mere feelings
for thoughts"
~ HL Mencken

Is It True?

The LORD is near to all who call on him,
to all who call on him in truth.

Buy the truth and do not sell it—
wisdom, instruction and insight as well.

Rest in Peace, Amy Winehouse

I went about mourning
as though for my friend or brother.
I bowed my head in grief
as though weeping for my mother.
~ Psalm 35

Tell Mama

Villagers in Israel would not fight;
they held back until I, Deborah, arose,
until I arose, a mother in Israel.
~ Judges 5

Requiem for the Masses

A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness
prepare the way for the LORD;
make straight in the desert
a highway for our God.
~ Isaiah 40

Heavy Cross

If anyone would come after me,
he must deny himself
and take up his cross
and follow me.
~ Matthew 16

Humiliation

I will become even more undignified than this,
and I will be humiliated in my own eyes.
~ 2 Samuel 6



How can you stay content?
Around you the world laments,
Resources are nearly spent;
Demanding sensation,
neglecting the strain,
Imagination concealing the pain.

How will the race survive?
When passion has been denied?
Disorder has surely thrived
Creating the gurus
who lead you astray,
Infatuation has no place today.

Don't say that tomorrow can't wait,
You can only debate
On the rightness
of being "wholesome"
But nebulous notions
contain no depth,
When right means left,
We fall through the clouds

You talk of expanding the mind,
Now thought is refined,
And there's room
to explore your freedom.
But somewhere inside you
a small boy cries,
Controlled by lies,
Are dreams made of this?

How can we stay content?
Around us the world laments,
Resources are nearly spent;
I spoke of forgiveness,
my heart full of pride,
Humiliation can turn back the tide.

Dear Mr. Murdoch ~

Your rich people are violent;
your inhabitants are liars
and their tongues speak deceitfully.
~ Micah 6

You belong to your father, the devil,
and you want to carry out your father’s desires.
He was a murderer from the beginning,
not holding to the truth,
for there is no truth in him.
When he lies,
he speaks his native language,
for he is a liar
and the father of lies.
~ John 8

King Of The Tits
Drowning in nickles and bingo and sex crimes

Cuts Like A Buffalo

The bows of mighty men are broken,
and they that stumbled are girded with strength.
~ 1 Samuel 2

Who's Behind The Door?

But when you pray,
go into your room,
close the door
and pray to your Father,
who is unseen.
Then your Father,
who sees what is done in secret,
will reward you.
~ Matthew 6

Maybe

At noon Elijah began to taunt them.
“Shout louder!” he said.
“Surely he is a god!
Perhaps he is deep in thought,
or busy, or traveling.
Maybe he is sleeping
and must be awakened.”
~ 1 Kings 18

Don't Take Me Alive

When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison,
he withdrew to Galilee.
~ Matthew 4

Lady Grinning Soul

When I smiled at them, they scarcely believed it;
the light of my face was precious to them.
~ Job 29

Withering Tree

Seeing a fig tree by the road,
he went up to it
but found nothing on it except leaves.
Then he said to it,
“May you never bear fruit again!”
Immediately the tree withered.
