SLOWLY the Moon her banderoles of light Unfurls upon the sky; her fingers drip Pale, silvery tides; her armoured warriors Leave Day's bright tents of azure and of gold, Wherein they hid them, and in silence flock Upon the solemn battlefield of Night To try great issues with the blind old king, The Titan Darkness, who great Pharoah fought With groping hands, and conquered for a span. The starry hosts with silver lances ***** The scarlet fringes of the tents of Day, And turn their crystal shields upon their ******* And point their radiant lances, and so wait The stirring of the giant in his caves. The solitary hills send long, sad sighs As the blind Titan grasps their locks of pine And trembling larch to drag him toward the sky, That his wild-seeking hands may clutch the Moon From her war-chariot, scythed and wheeled with light, Crush bright-mailed stars, and so, a sightless king, Reign in black desolation! Low-set vales Weep under the black hollow of his foot, While sobs the sea beneath his lashing hair Of rolling mists, which, strong as iron cords, Twine round tall masts and drag them to the reefs. Swifter rolls up Astarte's light-scythed car; Dense rise the jewelled lances, groves of light; Red flouts Mars' banner in the voiceless war (The mightiest combat is the tongueless one); The silvery dartings of the lances ***** His fingers from the mountains, catch his locks And toss them in black fragments to the winds, Pierce the vast hollow of his misty foot, Level their diamond tips against his breast, And force him down to lair within his pit And thro' its chinks ****** down his groping hands To quicken Hell with horror-for the strength That is not of the Heavens is of Hell.

(for Nietzche, who cowers behind art.)

The world called Canaanites ****** while they traded and toiled along the shores of land promised to the aged heretic of Sumer, whose wife could give only love.

I love my black cat, for all his brokenness, his brain damage, his tendency to drool and to fall off things. I love him dearly, in spite or perhaps because of these various defects, and he loves me back with a fierce and simple purity like only idiots can. Still, I sometimes wish we could time travel together, he and I, and I could take him to Ancient Egypt and show the Pharoah, the priests, the acolytes and the slavedrivers. I'd show them my wonderful cat with his wobbly eyes, his flailing windmill limbs and his perfect idiot love, and I'd tell them all: 'This is your God. Reevaluate.'

Damaged Gods
I'm too big for your suitcase- My life is a hell; I thought I'd go with you When they ring that bell. I thought I could fold My face to my knees; Wrap my arms round my legs, Hold my breath until three. Then emerge from the suitcase Unscathed as you please, But there's no way I'll fit there- I've eaten too much cheese. I'm too wide for the zipper, It won't close or move, And worse, it seems stuck there- Right in my groove. I'm too wide for the zipper, And it's teeth are now stretched; If I just had no feet I would feel much less wretched. My head doesn't fit, And my arms much too long; If I could get shortened- Would it be so wrong? I thought I would fit In your suitcase, to hide; But instead, I'll just mail me In a big box, inside. Like a tomb for a Pharoah, I'll have room for my parts; On my way to you now, To reclaim my lost heart.

I'm too big for your suitcase
Check it out I learn knowledge of self To up my health now they movin' in stealth gainin' mental wealth Cuz im long lasting tongue is blastin' A million rhymes infectin' the mic right? Ya loosin' sight ya thoughts going braille Welcome to the 9th Gate of hell where I sail On brainwaves my heart craves for the saves Of hip hop not from Atlanta but a brave These idiots crave in a rage cuz I'm turning the page Back to the first scene of hip hop see how my tape pops ears cropped mouths begin to drop from the rhymes that I cop Into ya corticals breakin' in to ya local articles full of arsenal minds a carrousel Since I was an embyro I knew I  was built for ******** a punisher Ya fallin' way under Evil content words laid immense never consent To plans of a Masonic establishment broke the lease I'm hear to visually increase My linguistic is mathematics so have at it Stab it and I'll break the habit No ropes around my brain absorb the pain Once I reclaim my domain a Pharoah to a King ? Huh? my word sharper than a Marlin philosophize like Carlin No short bargains bump political jargons While y'all arguing I'm upping my mind for wisdom To grow while others thoughts still covered up in snow....

Airwaves awash in the new gospel barrage: calling forth the neighbourhood hack, Abe Lincoln toon in towering hat,   the corporation is coming - will you not collaborate my friend? Everything good that you ever dreamed of is here: Marbonite floored flats with self-terraced roofs; The swankiest of cars, in imported hues; Your arm candy drools, now, brands, bigger brands! All in your grasp, now, in community gates shut safe as society decays. Skies spitting frogs? Pestilences amass? Listen to the Gospel according to Bane: in the desert, smell octane. Hallelujah, everything we make, from watches to headscarves - your underwear is cheaper sourced from the next so-lala-land. Forget your sources tiny of incomes varying: Bakers, cobblers, tinkerers, we also have a uniform for you. Oh you rustic tradition-bound bandy bumpkins! Abandon your alleyways, and welcome to the ghettos...where What you eat, to where to retreat: we cure everything from heartache to panache. Wash away your sins in wonder medicines; Waters can part, yes, see how the Pharoah is disarmed; Big city dreams, dream global manna beams. All that is needed for salvation, is a little bit of classification. Are you left-wing or right? Center-left or center-right? The powerdrill tearing down edifices resonating through noon. A crane arm's shadow hovering high by the moon. Tablets from skies now proclaim the new gospel for the land, the airwaves are awash of the miracle of Witwatersrand. The corporation is coming, to a store near you: Amen! Will you not, then, collaborate, my friend?

Moses ran from Egypt. Into the wilderness. Turned aside to see a burning bush. God's Presence. Sandals removed. Holy ground. The call. Argued with God. "Send someone else. I'm a bad choice. I'm too scared. I can't talk. You don't know what You're doing, Lord." God's patience. Tried. By Moses. But still He was kind. "I will be with you, the entire time." How long was the gap? While God worked on the heart. Of Moses. Until... A trip to Egypt. A step back in time. "Let my people go." But Pharoah's heart was stubborn. New Moses. Shows courage. "Let my people go!" But Pharaoh says "No!" So... Plague after plague. Until a King's son lies dead. Pharaoh said "Go! And please...bless me." Exodus. Slaves set free. But Pharaoh changed his mind. Again. Egyptian army pursued them. Red Sea. Before. Enemies. Behind. Where is God? Are we going to die? Moses' staff. Stabs the sea. "Behold His mighty hand." There will be victory! God's people. In the middle of the waters. Running. Free. On dry land. With a wall of water to the right and left. At God's command. Hurry! Hurry! See Pharoah's army! God where are you? Are we going to die? Israelites. Safe on the other side. Egyptian enemies swallowed up. By the tide. Rejoice! God has set us free! Moses the warrior. Led God's people. Into the wilderness. Of God's Promise. Moses led. A stiff-necked people. And talked with God. Face to face. In a cloud. "Please have mercy on Your people," He prayed. Moses, once a weakling, became a warrior. For God's hand was upon him. Every step of the way. Until his face shone radiant. With God's glory. (edited)

Some times I pray for the Lord to take me away From the pain that stays and friends went astray Once I hit the bottom of the crab barrel I a ghostly Pharoah living life on death row My soul inside of a atom'd shell well Ain't nothing but hell can't even bail Only if my life got tooken or naturally Rosen From a unwakened sleep my conscious speaks Tryna break free but I gotta lotta work clearly I know they fear me cuz knowledge Is dangerous G see how many form up as enemies After ya royalties ain't no more loyalty Once they see the building of a dynasty I resurrected as a king corruption born into a ring Of a fire I'm king Tut risen from the grave givin' Nothing but revisited pain that stains Ya master plan I got a powerful clan Who all pack at least fifty grand packing the stans And turn haters into fans without even being mainstream man Restrictions of land plot riots got brought Unto the community guns and drugs separate unity They disputing me cuz I speak truthfully Most fools be spitting for mass publicity But I gives a **** about the industry It ain't what it used to be so many phonies Acting like they ya homies when they holding pistols Behind ya back my minds spins black Back to the days of where realness sits at That's a preposition **** the intermission I know the rap game is about the commission Since hataz sho they neck they bound for lynching No disrespect to the deads souls that dialed connect Down the gun line all I need is one line Like to Nas gun line broke the laws that define Me as a ***** I stay holding my trigger I try to spread love but most miss the picture A photograph of his last laugh before ye see the blood bath

My mother paints the Tokyo cherry trees. She sketches the butterflies  of Siam. Some day, she'll bring my children Their very own Indian elephants. She wants to put an Asian painting On every wall of her house, But her African sculptures Take up too much space. I have never left my home, but she Has been to the nooks and crannies Of the pharoah's tombs in Giza, And to the silver church of Kizhi island. She brings them back to me In pictures and words. She holds Russia in her voice When she tells me of a woman in a shawl Who didn't smile for a picture, Or a young couple on a moped Who held a live chicken in their arms. I shall never have to leave the safety Of a warm sunday blanket, When her arms are there to hold me And sweep me to Arabia.

pyramid tale
Endlessly, relentlessly, you make haste by unbroken parable, cry incense incensed, censure me, call names of the unjust, we’re unjust, there’s unbroken like fish and bread in multitudes, swing low and wide on fingertips that have never known bare skin the way I have known yours, chariots lost on pharoah’s feet and dying prodigals covering little ground. Calling him, you came like waves on shore parting for boat hulls, licking up starboard side thirsty for purpose, raising church in three days making metaphor into matter, I met you halfway, holding staff still dripping crimson on toes that hadn’t yet touched the sea. We made miracles. I’ve yet to find contentment among tents pitched forty days ago, dusted in sugar burning tongues too used to manna, leaning ‘against winds that whisper designs o'er mount Sinai, whisper Pontius Pilate condemnation, whisper platitudes Peter proclaimed before **** crowed thrice. Crucify us. We don’t dare step down. Raise us. We’ve yet to sin.

prodigal sons
Paris looked out outside the Trojan Wall And what he saw he did not like at all. He viewed Achilles in one of his rages, close to the city. And looked upon the Trojan dead with horror and pity. I must do something, he said, as he left his room. Who he encountered next filled him with terror and doom. She called herself Essence, and she was a queen of the Hittites. She told him with a grim look on her face, Achilles must die tonight. Here is my bow, I have arrows that travel to spots in armor narrow. They are fitted for war, I got them from the Egyptian Pharoah. Paris shook and said, But I did not use a bow except for sport. You must remember I am known as the coward of the King’s court. Essence shook her head and said, No, you must **** Achilles dead. That is what the prophecies and the written word have said. Come let us climb to the high place, so that you can see his face. Shoot an arrow into his breastplate, and make his life a disgrace. Paris was muttering as she led him to the top of the rim. She wasn’t as pretty as Helen, but she was more regal and grim. Essence pointed down and said, See Achilles, fighting like a madman? All of the archers are missing him, because they have bad hands. But I will guide you into the truth of your destiny to fire this shot. Perhaps we will save Troy just yet, with everything that we got! Paris jumped back at her intensity, but Essence continued. Achilles under all that armor is a man of bone and sinew. He would not let Hector rest in his grave, dragged him like a slave. Now it is time to give Achilles the burial to whom so many he gave. Paris fired an arrow, and it hit a Greek but Achilles he missed. Essence pursed her lips and grabbed his hand to say, You aim like this! Paris fired a second arrow, and nicked Achilles in the forearm. Essence said, Stop aiming for flesh wounds and hit where you can do harm. Paris fired a third time, and hit Achilles in the neck with skill. Then simultaneously, somebody hit Achilles between his ankle and heel. Achilles toppled from his chariot, and the Greeks in horror fell back. The Trojans suddenly heartened went full-blown on the attack. Essence grinned and said, Tonight we join in the slaughter And push all of the Greeks past the land into the waters! She went down to take up weapons, and Paris stood in awe. He didn’t know if he should worship her because he did not know who he saw.

Paris looked out outside the Trojan Wall And what he saw he did not like at all. He viewed Achilles in one of his rages, close to the city. And looked upon the Trojan dead with horror and pity. I must do something, he said, as he left his room. Who he encountered next filled him with terror and doom. She called herself Essence, and she was a queen of the Hittites. She told him with a grim look on her face, Achilles must die tonight. Here is my bow, I have arrows that travel to spots in armor narrow. They are fitted for war, I got them from the Egyptian Pharoah. Paris shook and said, But I did not use a bow except for sport. You must remember I am known as the coward of the King’s court. Essence shook her head and said, No, you must **** Achilles dead. That is what the prophecies and the written word have said. Come let us climb to the high place, so that you can see his face. Shoot an arrow into his breastplate, and make his life a disgrace. Paris was muttering as she led him to the top of the rim. She wasn’t as pretty as Helen, but she was more regal and grim. Essence pointed down and said, See Achilles, fighting like a madman? All of the archers are missing him, because they have bad hands. But I will guide you into the truth of your destiny to fire this shot. Perhaps we will save Troy just yet, with everything that we got! Paris jumped back at her intensity, but Essence continued. Achilles under all that armor is a man of bone and sinew. He would not let Hector rest in his grave, dragged him like a slave. Now it is time to give Achilles the burial to whom so many he gave. Paris fired an arrow, and it hit a Greek but Achilles he missed. Essence pursed her lips and grabbed his hand to say, You aim like this! Paris fired a second arrow, and nicked Achilles in the forearm. Essence said, Stop aiming for flesh wounds and hit where you can do harm. Paris fired a third time, and hit Achilles in the neck with skill. Then simultaneously, somebody hit Achilles between his ankle and heel. Achilles toppled from his chariot, and the Greeks in horror fell back. The Trojans suddenly heartened went full-blown on the attack. Essence grinned and said, Tonight we join in the slaughter And push all of the Greeks past the land into the waters! She went down to take up weapons, and Paris stood in awe. He didn’t know if he should worship her because he did not know who he saw.

Life started out rough As a baby All I knew was **** brothers So I had to be tough Daddy gone Momma was strong Did everything to keep me right But I always ended up in a fight Mind ain't right Cuz my heart fearless No tears held my anger Felt no love to a mated stranger Entice to danger Quick with my left like Tyson I aimmin for ya eye When I connect With these thangs I slang And if all else fails I grab the tools ya know the rules Snatchin' jewels Like a nine to five Robbin' was the only way to survive Seen my first dead body By the age of five Ever since then I knew I was born A ghetto child Stuck in wild heart tryna reach out But I can't find grief to let it out So I'm quarrel keep a loaded barrel Battlin' this system Modern day Pharoah? I'm trapped with no where to go Stuck in the mix life's a ***** ***** World full of misery don't blame me Though Only god can Judge me!!

Only the Most High Can Condemn Me
A brilliant Profusion- in death, leaves are proud! (No Pharoah or King have enjoyed such a shroud.) They flutter on downward upon the stiff breeze. collecting in piles nearly up to my knees. The rasping of rakes is a familar fall sound. An unwanted tribute I collect from the ground.

The downside of Trees
Eyes of the desert Soul of a pharoah Mysterious man Wise as a hermit. From taciturn glances To timid approaches His subtle slow movements Then turn into dances. Warm like the sand Cold like dutch winter A contrast of both You won’t understand. He’s noble to many And close to a few This guy is a gem Too rare for this world.

Spiritual Gift
Moses was an insurance salesman Sold flood insurance on the Plains No matter how much he prayed There was never any rain One day when Moses had turned 40 The Lord said you will lead my people free Moses said , "Say what ? Are you talking now to me ?" Go tell the Pharoah "Set my people free . Or I will devastate you until you listen to me ." So reluctantly he set out with his wife and family Hooked up with his brother Arron and together they made history Well you probably know the rest . Frogs and grasshoppers and the flies were such a pest But Pharoah remained steadfast until the Angel of Death flew by That was when the first born were all doomed to die So Pharoah then relented Bade all the Isrealites please leave Even gave up all his gold and suggested to the others that they should likewise give But the Isrealites were hard hearted They had little to do with their God So Moses led them out into the desert Until till they were covered by the sod And Moses reared a new generation more devout now than the first They would go on to populate everywhere on Earth But Moses was a man doomed tied now by his sin God said because of that he couldn't let him in But God showed Moses all the promised land from upon the mountain top where both of them would stand Moses could see it was raining falling hard into the sand Now what of this eternity Is it now at hand ? Then God took away Moses to where he did not say I'm sure God shed a tear in private upon that fateful day See Moses was a man not unlike the rest of us He put his faith in his God and gave him every ounce of trust

There once was a crocomodile Who lived as the lord of the Nile:      He once ate a pharoah      From meatballs to marrow While crying and wearing a smile.

Crocomodile Tears
-------- tea and Sisyphus Bruno paused, at his interface with the printable word form, he paused thinking in writing "this is so important, I must underline it." I thought it, of first importance. The concept of all fruits freely eaten from, but one, knowledge, right of all sorts, all species fruit, branch, root and leaf, all intervvining chthonic molds to make soil, goodgottamight jus' gimme a blackland farm. let ol' pharoah done be drownded goodgottamighty , oh yah, jus' gimme a blackland farm. Science, long now, sudden eruptions of just too much to think about, like the size of the Earth in his hands, relative to the post JWST visualizations we share, bring it in, too wide, ballein, throw out a thought, an Earth baseball sized, no problema, in your hand, your mind hand, your typist hand, keyboarding second nature, like a callous on the middle finger of a scribes writer hand. Often offered up as proof, see this finger, this proves I wrote the whole pile crushed, in the shipping and storage of Ashurbanipal's collection of books, which Solomon told him, when they were swapping wives and concubines, was a vanity and a vexation of the spirit, But this calloused finger, the mused mind reminds, this finger proves I came through history, I did not make history.
