There's a coming new world order

There's a coming new world order
There's an old world fading further
There's a fresh world hoping for a cure
That we'll stop killing each other

There are people hoping for the better
There are people saying we would rather
Be going to hell than to live in fear
Then we'll finally see our future

There are too many end times preachers
Who said I'd be sentenced to suffer
That I'd spend my days in fire forever
Just because I'm not a believer

Let's forget there are jihad fighters
Who wants to do their god a great favour
Because they feel that god lacks the power
To rid of me to usher in the final hour

god is great
but god is weak
she needs our help
to get rid of unbelievers

god is great
but god is sick
she needs your help
to be a suicide bomber

god is great
but god needs help
she needs your strength
to put in place a new world order

When she comes to reign I will not cower
She might throw me into a pit of fire
But I will stand and not take any cover
In great pain but repent I shall never

I will lift my eyes beyond the hills of fire
To the unknown who never wanted to be god ever
To a name which we could never even utter
To my keeper and my redeemer

Rise thou good and faithful
I commanded you to kill but you never
I asked of faith from you but you remained unbeliever
I knocked your door yet you did not answer

So sit now on my right and my left here
And rule over these idiotic believers
Who love to be goats led for slaughter
Who once made judgement but never

I made them humans but they're failure
I made them free but that's not what they prefer
Just as 1 Samuel chap 8 says
They prefer the bondage of a kingly messiah

A king who would tax them
till it ain't over till it's over
A messiah who from them would require
belief in human sacrifice otherwise it's everlasting fire.

The Oaks of Mamre

'Neath this tree where Avram sat
With the LORD whom he'd earlier met
Hence and where was salvation's plan set
Whence G`d was there when Avram pled:

"Peradventure there be fifty save five,
Would you still that they be spared alive?"

And G'd leaned back, His eyes arise,
"Though there be ten just righteous in life,"
The LORD answered without a strife,
"They will I spare alive."

Might the serafim sat in disbelief
How strange an answer that G'd should give
But every heart is a tree beneath
Thence and where G'd would sit
Waiting, waiting for that to breathe
That avramic voice of I believe

~ Fall 1978

Mustard Flavoured Sky

Life is but a dream
Tracks and multi-coloured stream
Joy and peace are all abound
But is there any more to be found?

Don't we spend our hours searching
But let me tell you while you're still breathing
Don't waste your time
Life is all and worths a dime

So live while you can
Suffer while there's a chance
Come follow my dream
You'll love it when heavens touch the ground

Let us fly
The high and mustard flavoured sky
Let us live and not die
You'll love it when heavens touch the ground
My!

Look oer'here
You hear?
I say let us fly
I want to live
And not die

~Spring 1983

Success

Between the reaches of time and space beyond
There I stood within the stark and naked environ
I saw, I walked, I stopped
As if you walked a million miles more
And your feet hurt sore

At times, the challenge is gone
No more mysteries to unwind
Yet the want to go on
Hides behind your mind

As if I took a bin
Overturned it only to hear a din
As if I held my hand
What sifted through was only sand
Behind the great and faithful
What lies behind?

People!
Did you not see what I have done
Have you not seen that with success I've run?

But the world, it paced at a silent din

And the night faded away
Into the darkness of its stay

I want to walk a million miles more.

Agnostic

Though I walk a thousand miles
Take a million steps
Strive a few more miles
Make a few more laps

What would I have done?
Or accomplished?

River Nile
Can't wash me clean
Ganges?

Who am I
Purity is a commodity
I buy from G`d

~ Spring 1984

Mustard Seeds

No solemn requests
If ever
Redeemed such bequests
Persons at best are comforters of their own counsels

Though it seems encouragement must be bought with despair
And comfort given by persons too knowledgeable
Isn't that a heavy price to pay for a troubled soul?
To be comforted or not to be, is the begging question

Quiet concern exudes more comfort than splendour of words
Or disposed opinions

Perhaps
Perhaps, some people are more concerned about dispensing
The mustard seeds of their faith

~ Summer 1984

To Believe

To procrastinate is to need but not to want
To want is to respond to what is observed
To observe is science without creating
To measure is observing in participation
To participate is to know and then to perform
To perform is to give and then accept
To accept is to receive and respond

But to believe is simply to procrastinate
  • Like an idea without substance,
  • An indictment without evidence,
  • Or evidence without observation.
  • Perception without measuring risks,
  • Or risking that to which the belief
  • would not respond.
  • Performing indulgences without participation,
  • Or participating in unacceptable responses.
  • An orgy of wishes without morals of hope.
  • To be right by avoiding any or all
  • persuasions it could be wrong.

It will come -
A time when I will no longer need to believe.
I hope. Or did I just believe?

Thinking outside the box? Think again.

How can I think outside the box when I don't know where its boundaries lie?

So many people are thinking outside the box that thinking outside the box may now require me to venture back into my box to actually think outside that monstrous box everyone has created by thinking outside their box.

Why should I think outside the box when the inside of my box is still unexplored?
My box is still mainly unexplored because I have not ventured outside the box sufficiently to look into the box.

Now that I have succumbed to packaging our opinions in boxes, it has become rather confusing over which boxes I should venture out from and which I should venture into.

I feel the idea of thinking-outside-the-box has become rather over-prescribed. Hmmm ... need to think outside the box to find a better object from which to think outside.

Asking if a glass is half full or half empty is only helpful for people who tend to experience motivational dyslexia. A box, into which, all of us seem to have misplaced ourselves.
Is your box half full, half empty or full of crap?

To box or not to box: that is the begging question.
For here or to go?

If I had to choose between snack and TV, the quick brownie box trumps over Boston's Red Sox.
My boxicle/cubicle is like a grocery store.

I am always encouraged to think and act outside the box but whenever I do try I am being yelled at by the same people because outside my box is inside theirs while inside my box is outside theirs.
There must be a box that defines what it means to think outside the box.
Think as though everything exists outside the box but act as though everything exists inside the box.

Grass is always greener, steaks are always juicier on the other side of the box.

Wife to husband - Why are there so many boxes in the garage?
Husband to wife - Why are there so many boxes in the attic?
Parent to child - Why are there so many boxes in the basement?
Who left this stink'n box in my thinking space?
I think that thinking in terms of boxes is detrimental to society.

Is that why they call them boxers?

Therapee to therapist:
I seem to have misplaced the box outside of which I was thinking.

Coach to heavy-weight championship contender:
Think outside the box.

My hobby had been to collect boxes of all sorts. I gave up because I just didn't have a box large enough to contain all of them.

Strangers in delight exchanging ideas wondering what's insight.
Strangers in the night exchanging boxers wondering what's inside.

When we do, do we all think outside the same box or different boxes?
When we do, do we have to think outside the same box all the time?
Where can I find an appropriate box to think outside of?
Should I be thinking about things found outside the box or could I be outside the box thinking what's inside?

The parable of the merchant and the box:
The kingdom of heaven is akin to the case where a rich merchant had travelled over many lands and finds a box. He then decides to sell all he has to buy the box. However, when he opens it, he finds he had to think outside the box.
