Answered Prayers

Answered Prayers

Unheard voices bring the night, our hopes return the day,

beings struggle for the light, in prayers we often say,

“Hear me oh most gracious one, I lift my heart to you,

I need you in these times of woe, a sign to guide me through.”

Empathy whispers, aglow within, candle flickers in the dark,

Prayers are thrust from the rain, while lost here on earth’s ark.

Close your eyes and listen, replies appear in your sight,

truth comes with your answer, connections made by light.

Darkness wanes, the oceans true, the skies return their song,

No longer lost, your path in view, new sense that you belong.

Waiting for You

Waiting for You

He stood there at the station,

with broad smile from ears to chin,

hopes and dreams in weaving thought,

new life about to begin.

Foreign lands played on his mind,

starting new for both of them,

hearts desire would meet him here,

the train leaves at 8:00 pm.

Gold watch pulled from pocket vest,

pressed and worried, running late,

all he owned was sent abroad,

packed away in wooden crates.

As anxious moments gathered,

steam engine blows release,

yet absent is his angel,

who’s essence brings him peace.

Murmurs echo through the crowd,

angst stirring at the station,

intent he listens for his name,

in stark anticipation.

The station fills with essence,

dancing shadows in the rain,

as time moves in slow motion,

he boards the west bound train.

The misty fog grows thicker,

and builds a tense commotion,

as waving eyes are gleaming,

and filled with kept emotion.

Cargo racks are packed on board,

while tea vendors trade the chill,

reflections gleam on puddles black,

in mirrored silent stills.

Shadows move in greyish hues,

its dark in mid November,

solemnly he waits for her,

in hopes that she’ll remember.

New life rides the train at eight,

was both their understanding,

last look at departure gate,

and at the borders landing.

Conductor calls “all aboard”,

steam engine sprays the dusk,

and there she stood in the rain,

in red coat, Corset and busk.

Penumbra’s Gate

Penumbra’s Gate

Portals to infinity

so often unseen by most

catch the sorrows of my eyes

ponder my reflected ghost.

Shadows dark retreat in thought

to hypnotic moments, wait

for there in pools on cobble

the frame of Penumbra’s Gate.

It’s beacon calls attention

bending thoughts, to enter minds

hypnotic waves of darkness

that render victims’ blind.

My legs give way, fall to ground

no power to up and rise

that’s when they came to take me

pull me to the other side.

Yet, fear then drew more swiftly

it gathered me to my feet

as courage stood defiant

on Penumbra’s cobbled street.

Twilight imbues the crossing

as puddles dry and fade

uncertain of my bearings

or where my feet have strayed.

Streets are unfamiliar

with malefic atmosphere

demonic laughs from shadows

in voids all wrought with fear.

Frantic, I then start searching

for puddles that hold a door

the gate that pulled me in here

which I can see no more.

But then appears a lamppost

same beacon that drew me in

the scene, just one last puddle

reflects to where I’ve been.

To dash and cross on over

before its darkness expands

and drains the mirror puddle

to ensnare me with its hands.

Lunging forward to the ground

in speculum, eyes are fixed

to pull me through umbra’s door

where two worlds have surely mixed.

In a flash, the weight is gone

no darkness upon my back

from place where I just travelled

the puddle returns to black.

Pensive face checks out the scape

as I climb back to my feet

to see familiar buildings

upon my cobbled street.

The Demon John McCain

The Demon John McCain

Behold the one in power, behold the one foretold,

know him by his actions, and the soul that he has sold.

illusions of god like powers, decorated in blood,

death plagues and destruction, arriving in his flood.

He delights in money laundered, owned by Patrician creeds

he lays siege on humanity, and tramples on peoples needs.

he praises terror minions and delights in others pain,

the evil that commands it all is none other than John McCain.

Terror legions unleashed, bloodthirsty to the bone,

they wait for their commandments, McCain is sure to phone

“Thou shalt kill thy neighbour, do plunder and terror things”

these are just a few words that John McCain sings.

“Heil hail, the world is falling down,

grinding people to the ground.

greed, corruption, famine, and frowns,

there’s death and destruction all around.”

McCainish demons surface, with weapons from evil dens

sacrificing the lives of innocent women, children, and men.

revoke his power I say, and those that he’s defended,

John McCain the traitor, must be apprehended.

I take no pity on monsters, all should be de-fanged,

but if mankind’s to survive, John McCain must be hanged.

Background:

John McCain backs the fascists in Ukraine that seized power in a bloody coup that led to the ethnic cleansing of Russian speaking Ukrainians in western Ukraine and led to the countries civil war. Even though a peace treaty has been signed between the two sides in the Ukrainian civil war, John McCain pushes to continue the confrontation by supporting additional US Military weapons to arm the fascists against the eastern part of the country. McCain also calls for direct confrontation with Russia and is pictured above with one of Ukraine’s Neo-Nazi Fascist leaders “Oleh Tyahnybok”.

John McCain also backs the FSA/Al-Queda/ISIS/IS foreign terrorists employed to destroy Syria and their multi cultural communities. McCain’s direct oversight in this terrorist operation has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Syrians while also displacing more than 5 million. He is pictured above with some of his terrorists friends. 

He also backs the ethnic cleansing of Palestine while pledging his total allegiance to the state terrorist governments in Israel (past and present). 

Those at home in the USA, that oppose his sociopathic and insane actions are branded enemies. His direct involvement has led to a US fascist police state where freedom of the press and honest journalism has become a thing of the past.

Not only is he a traitor to the people of the USA but to all of humanity. He is an out of control insane monster who is directly responsible (along with a congressional and executive office gang of US war mongers) for the deaths of millions of people throughout the Middle East, Eastern Europe and Africa…he needs to be stopped and thrown in prison by people of the USA for his crimes…and he’s not the only one that needs to be put in prison either! Nuremberg comes to mind when thinking about the principals we are supposed to be upholding but then it's all fixed now isn't it. Should the war criminals from the Nuremberg trials have been hung? And if so then what is stopping humanity from dealing with US war criminals like McCain, Obama, Bush & Cheney in the same fashion? Then again, the system is rigged isn't it?
