The Juicy June Word Jam In The DARC

[penpainter]

Seven pages jammed i read today
page one seemed to echo all the way
compassion was saddened by false judge
Truth calls eternal by lies won't budge

if God could make a horrible mess
then man would have nothing to confess
God nothing but a bucket for blame
man fodder for torturous flame

trust me i know i grew up Baptist
where delusion is at its aptist
and Jesus is more than Jesus said
blind lead the blind turned dead lead the dead

so glad that Truth cannot be tarnished
and the fade of religion's varnished
Yet it still hurts where i cannot see
when God is blamed for our own not free

"eyes too pure" we cannot comprehend
while lies' fingers pointing will not mend
terrors created by vulgar view
do not hide each generation's few

Even the capitalist's ego
is left for a moment to forego
this matrix that momentum has heaved
all of the memories it has grieved

And search the Silence that has remained
beneath every level of hell gained
So that today in this word jam June
angels there are still singing Love's tune

i've never been one to be totally religious
even when attending church three times a week
singing in the choir, dancing in the spirit, or speaking in tongues.
man points his finger of blame
always the other way, not understanding
his actions are his own curse
(even i am guilty of it in times of trouble)
but for some reason unknown to me
i am held closer than i deserve to be
granted asylum in a beauteous aire
separate from this realms desires
yet still affected by its ire
human pulling against the spirit
spirit struggling against human temptation
of all that surrounds me I am unsure of
what I feel but cannot see
what I hear but cannot discern
what I sense but cannot touch
i know there is a higher plane
a plane constantly calling to me
one day I will answer
when the spirit can no longer breath
perhaps then I will be free
to see, touch, discern and walk within
that which protects me and holds me up

I removed the splinter in my eye
the religious myths and lies.
Forged a new reality
one where God walks with me.
Sacred rituals in nature’s sight
bring on the moon and its subtle light.
Dance with angels and spirits till morn
and keep away from Christian scorn.
Let each carry his own burden;
let each judge his own sin.
I haven't the time to listen to hypocrisy
now that faith has set me free
from religious tyranny.

I gave up religion
and went through a twelve step program
to kick the addiction.
Gluttony of pride
and my better than thou attitude
were toxic to my system.
I pulled out the thorn in my side
to discover it wasnt a holy relic,
just a chunk of wood festering in my hip.
I practiced for days turning my
holier than though finger pointing
into a peace sign.
I added some milk and sugar to the body of Christ
and made cookies for my neighbors.
I sipped the blood of Jesus with my friends
who helped me through my religious withdrawl.

I learned to advocate for people
instead of bible thump them to death.

But hardest of all was setting the Holy Spirit free.
It landed in my willow tree and sings to me daily.
How foolish I was to cage such a beautiful creature.

Its been ages now since I practiced religion.
I dont miss a day of it.

biblethumpers and soothsayers
selling their wares of ignorance
to those more ignorant
religious manipulations
cower a world in want
of peace and give them
war for their trouble
to believe that one system of
religious thought is "the" one
is the first step into a trap
that steals one's own liberty

run, don't walk away from those
who would snare you with the lie
of religion.

looking into crystal balls
pointing the way to God
the gates are locked
for most of us
the numbers not adding up

tell me what is 7 times 2400
or for that matter 24,000?

today is sunday
supposibly the sabbath
a day of rest
a day of prayer
a time when only
one gas station
one pharmacy
one grocery
were open
i thought they entered two by two
the money keeps rolling in

tell me why the sabbath
is the first day of the week?

the birds in the trees
continue to sing
the insects in the grass
continue to creepy crawl
dogs in yards
continue to back
and cat
continue to purr
wild animals
continue to hunt
as man
continues to sleep
and eat
and waste
and build
and destroy
our stairway to heaven

so tell me why is hell
where we rest our heads?

i won't be on the stairway to heaven
or the escalator or lift
i have no desire or expectations that way
i'll stay here and walk a green path
hug a tree or three
and watch the butterflies come back
i shall groove on the gift
of sweet mother earth
with my moon smiling above
that'll do for me

heaven is too confining
give me the universe,
all the dimensions therein
let me speed faster than light
and shine brighter than the stars.
I am eternal, a flame in the dark
when the ending becomes the beginning
I will be the start of a new reality.

aye
but the universe can wait
until after breakfast
-
insomnia
poured into a cup
no cream nor sugar added
two slabs of bacon thinly sliced
[sizzling] on the skillet [burning]
my house keeps an untidy yard
for winds and rains to play in
while memory props an open window
for starry nights to stray in
pencil poised i hold my course
and by mid morning of the seventh day
i ve steered my spaceship into the sun
shouting [oh rapture] i am done

5 hours later
15 pages of spammers
50 per page
my finger ache
but the bastard are gone
for a minute,
a second
so now I can write
and jam freely
until they swarm in again
Soon though,
I shall weild
a better eraser.
