False Prophets

Mixed in the lack of standards

                is the scandal of deception and wretchedness.

Call yourselves scientists?! Priests in practice of the faithless –

                when you baptize a male dog in the morning

                and castrate the same as female by afternoon,

                                transform into cat come nightfall?

Academic wizards who, in lieu of teaching catechism,

                spend their days in carefree tenure promulgating hatred,

                proselytizing their students in the way of corrupt socialism,

to despise anything palely West and humane,

deny Christian sons their patriarchal culture?

Experimental research is undertaken by bribery of biased sponsors;

scientific interpretation merely the product of special-interest lobbying.

Everything you can       to destroy society,          that you do,

                as long as it makes you rich in prideful liberal eyes

                and stashes away food from the philanthropic table.

What does Moses prescribe for false prophets?

I call you Spaniards and imperialists, gold-diggers all,

                come seeking to steal the treasures of the innocent natives.

                                                                Before Judgement Day,

                                                you will have had your heaven.

                                Hell could not be hell unless one had known Heaven.

For all the times greed and guile were packaged over hope and honor,

                and the fearful sufferings of the poor in spirit unheard;

                every time your ego overran the meekness of the humble,

                                                you will have had your blessings.

Who has denied your black hearts anything

                since the season of your deliverance from responsible truth?

                                                Also enjoy.

                                      Be glad accordingly.

                In any case, the kingdom of heaven is at hand for you.

A Hearing

                Calling thusly from this subconscious channel,

having no other mental course online to speak –

                                … Your silence is your evil:

never to organize messages, never to handle appeals,

                like a lawyer in a lost cause,

a case not meant to be argued; nought once to object

to all the hateful and hurtful pledgers of our destruction.

As in, what good is a God who does no good?

                who absolves himself at the point of a cross

                from all the sufferings cast in mortality’s sake,

                                for history’s end and humanity’s wake,

without a graceful future to crown life’s blood-red dawn?

                                An oasis for ambush, a mantrap for faith –

                                this loyal distemper left festering inside.
