I thought about killing the devil
I thought about killing you
I thought about killing Jesus, Buddha, and the President too
.
I thought about melting forks, knives, and spittoons,
Into bullets to shoot all dishes that run with the spoons
I thought about missiles headed straight to the moon
Drowning all stars beneath black ocean blues
.
I thought about syringes full of air and gasping to breathe,
I thought about funerals, tears, and flowery wreaths,
I thought about bones, flesh, and the pain that we weave,
And giving everyone their permanent relief
.
I thought about fury that resides inside me
And decided these demons comprise only half of me.
In sympathy I allow them to take refuge within, never giving what they want, but what they need instead.
(Family, law, savior & way).
.
On the way to glory, we may find terrible sin
Redemption can follow, when we let light in
Place down our weapons, ’til anger does not rise
This eternal battle is a clever disguise.
.
“Be ye wise as serpents
And gentle as doves”
Holy Spirit whispers gently,
“So below as above.”
.
May the muses always whisper truth upon your ear,
Because the devil gives wet willies, only tells what we want to hear.
Truth hides in plain sight, not far, always near
Love endures all pain, anything less: imprisonment by fear.
.
I give away what I love
When it doesn’t want to be near
I set free what I cherish
And release all that is dear
.
If I wait in vain,
And lose what I earn
I’ll cherish the ashes
And empty the urn.
