"justifier" poems
The spider Queen, aloofly vain! She rules a silent ruthless reign, with black-bead eyes like pearls of rain that damp the depths of her demesne. . . . A spider spins, with nimble feet, a sticky web of grim deceit that drapes the corners, dark, discreet, in catacombs of her retreat. Her jointed legs (in number, eight) traverse the threads with stilted gait, but often more she'll lie in wait within the hub of her estate. Shy spiders live their lives alone ensconced within a silky throne; unless a transient guest comes flown, their lives bide empty, monotone. . . Well, now and then, a sullen breeze may twitch the toils, begin to tease – yet nothing's caught and nothing pleas, so patience's bid at times like these. But then again, when stars ignite, may maunder by a gnat, by night, be taught a dance, a writhing rite, within a lace of death, wrapped tight. Sometimes a spider's in the mood and waits awhile, whilst being wooed – and then, to later feed her brood, the widow slays her mate for food. In time a spider dies, 'tis true, bequeathing but a residue entwined, devoid of retinue, in fibers decked in silver dew. . . . One asks "What purpose serves the GNAT – to feed and make the spider fat? Well, 'tis perchance just naught but that within a mindless habitat. . . "Yet, what's the aim?” you may inquire, “at the heart of MAN's desire. To which goals should WE aspire reaching high and reaching higher?" We've, through the ages, left the mire, trundling wheels and taming fire, doing deeds that must inspire, nursing needy, calming crier, … Such things as these, most may admire: - placid dove and war defier (some are bolder, some are shyer) - patience (mess-up mollifier); - humankind (Life's justifier) - charity (charmed self-denier) - tolerance (proud pacifier ) - love of Life (folk unifier). What more could we, as flesh, require? Needless kneeling neath the spire? Childish chanting in the choir? Preaching hell's impending pyre? No, Death's the only rectifier, comes the instant we expire, nothing after, sentience prior. So, treasure Life and don't deny Her.

A Odessa je suis morte un matin d’octobre Si je devais revivre je voudrais être psychopathe et brûler des maisons Non, surtout pas ça C’est effroyable de savoir écrire, même juste un peu.                                                                               …/… Marcher Errer Déambuler Fermer les yeux Ne plus penser Mourir demain Il faudrait que je meure demain Mais vraiment, je veux dire Me pendre au cerisier M'étouffer avec le noyau d'une cerise N'importe quoi Trouver un truc Mais mourir demain Pour justifier ma raison d’être Simplement poser mon stylo Sur cette jolie place ensoleillée je vous ai regardé Vous lisiez les yeux fermés ALORS CHUT ! Pour justifier ma raison d’écrire Simplement m’envoler Ne plus avoir à me justifier Etre juste un peu plus simple Partir Continuer l’errance à Odessa Devenir transparente La peau sur les os Rêver Pourquoi elle Pourquoi moi Dans le fond Je ne suis pas bien différente de vous Je n'avais rien à écrire Je n'ai rien à te dire De ma vie tu ne sais rien Et si je dois mourir demain Tu découvriras alors peut-être Je dis bien peut-être Et si tu lis ces lignes demain Tu comprendras alors peut-être Je dis bien peut-être A Odessa cet après-midi Je n'ai fait que vous regarder Peut-être aurais-je dû m'y poser Je travaille pour survivre Je vis pour écrire J’écris comme je respire Le souffle coupé Je tombe. Puisque je dois mourir demain Juste fermer les yeux M’éclater la tête contre le radiateur A Odessa cet après-midi Je n'ai fait que vous regarder Un jeu dangereux qui se joue uniquement à la première personne. A Odessa cet après-midi Nous avions rendez-vous Tu n'aurais jamais dû venir, maman.

Learn to recognize lies, while they stand at Their podiums, and proselytize, Like so many Sunday preachers, You can see it in their eyes, and Their shifty ****** features, though Their words seem sincere, Their subtle cues, serve as Teachers of their inner intent, so Don't forget your diligence, and Let them **** your dissent, with Empty promises and rhetoric, to Fill your head with lies about, How war is for the betterment, of Nations abroad, the sentiment Is laughable, the premise is a fraud. Cause when it all boils down, and When push comes to shove, Democracy has grass roots, it's Not imposed from above, and At the end of the day, money is The factor prime, it's the secret Justifier for this terroristic crime, First, they bombed Iraqi cities, In a trial of "Shock and Awe" That killed even more civilians, Than what 9/11 saw, and Once the cities were demolished, Halliburton then rebuilt them, and Reaped enormous profits, To the tune of 40 billion, and Among other things, in this "Just" war's spoils, were The underground oceans, Flowing full of crude oil, and We all fund these atrocities, These lies, these hypocrisies, well If you decide this ain't the type, Of thing that you can stand for, Write "exempt" on line 7, of your W-4

Self Portrayal
Jesus… healed the sick, helped the hopeless and helpless, freed the oppressed and possessed, and forgave, of sinners, their sin. Jesus… taught truth; made miracles; saved souls; scoured sin; daringly died; defeated death; radically rose; returned to life. Alive, he ate, and showed his face; Five-hundred eyewitnesses - there was no debate. Jesus… ascended to Heaven; and is approaching again; This Divine-Manifest, God-become-flesh; This Ransom-Redeemer, sacrificial Savior; This Risen-Rescuer; eternally crowned Creator-King; rightly reigning; readily returning; This living and loving Lord; caring and compassionate Counselor; justly, Justifier and Judge; This is… Jesus… #AllHailKingJesus

Easter 2022: Jesus...
I Was The Warrior, You're Protector, The Justifier. I Was A Mere Puppet, A Side Piece To Your Show, I Was Nothing. You Showed Me Everything, But Only The Thing's I Needed To Know, So Misinformed. I Was Easy, You Knew Which Button's To Press, I Feel So Cheated. I Asked You Why, Why Did You Do This To Me, Why Would You Do This To Me? Your Response, So Cool, So Easy, Because I Could.....
