I Wasn't Born To Follow

I brought you up
out of Egypt
and redeemed you
from the land of slavery.
I sent Moses to lead you,
also Aaron and Miriam.
~Micah 6

Plastic Fantastic Lover

What are you doing,
you devastated one?
Why dress yourself in scarlet
and put on jewels of gold?
Why highlight your eyes
with makeup?
You adorn yourself in vain.
Your lovers despise you;
they want to kill you.
~ Jeremiah 4

The Three Degrees

Then I saw three impure spirits
that looked like frogs;
they came
out of the mouth
of the dragon,
out of the mouth
of the beast
and out of the mouth
of the false prophet.
~ Revelation 16

Save Some Time For Love

If you keep my commands,
you will remain in my love,
just as I have kept
my Father’s commands
and remain in his love.

Then they gave me the gold,
and I threw it into the fire,
and out came this calf...

No one can serve two masters.
Either he will hate the one
and love the other,
or he will be devoted to the one
and despise the other.
You cannot serve
both GOD
and money.

and all who are with her
in her house
shall be spared,
because she hid
the spies we sent.

until I, Deborah, arose,
until I arose,

Have Some More Tea

is your strength.”

Who Are The Brain Police?

Then someone came and said:

“Look! The men you put in jail
are standing in the temple courts
teaching the people.”

At that, the captain went
with his officers
and brought in the apostles.
They did not use force,
because they feared
that the people
would stone them...
The apostles were brought in
and made to appear
before the Sanhedrin
to be questioned
by the high priest.

“We gave you strict orders
not to teach in this name,” he said.
“Yet you have filled Jerusalem
with your teaching
and are determined
to make us guilty
of this man’s blood.”

Peter
and the other apostles
replied:

“We must obey GOD
rather than human beings!"
~ Acts 5

iRefuse

I abhor the assembly of evildoers
and I refuse to sit with the wicked.

What strength do I have,
that I should still hope?
What prospects,
that I should be patient?
Do I have the strength of stone?
Is my flesh bronze?
~ Job 6

Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse
& Outlaw

If Outlaw merely annoyed the tyrannical Nixon administration, McDaniels' next project, Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse, caused major outrage. Depending on which story you read, either the supremely despicable Vice President Spiro Agnew or the equally contemptible Chief of Staff Harry Haldeman contacted Atlantic Records and demanded that the label stop recording the singer after the album was released in 1971.
