The Devil's Manifesto
... everybody talks about the baby, the
holy child, whose birth they celebrate
each Christmas. But we want to keep
him there, an innocent, wrapped up
like a present in swaddling clothes ---
weak and ineffective. Little God. For
the wages of sin is ugly. The cross
means suffering and pain. The blood
means death but no one must EVER
know about the life. It would be best
if we could keep him young forever ---
don't let him grow up to die only to rise
again as the King of kings and Lord of
lords. They'll bow to a Babe but not to
the Only Begotten of the Father, the
Hope for all mankind Who stepped
down from Heaven, Whose Name is
above all names. We'll confuse the
Holy Days until they don't know what
to believe: this is your assignment ....

Apocalypse
There is an image I want to use, one that inspired these lines, but I'm waiting for the photographer's permission to use it. |
It looked like something out of the Bible, |
Memories
Thanks for the memories, of
color so bright it shocked the
eyes and pleasured senses
and camera lens. Winter has
claimed you as his own, but
he doesn't have the best part
of you: you saved that for me
and I am honored. As much
as I hate goodbyes, it won't
be long until we see each
other again. Will be right
here, waiting, for your return.
