If I were the Prince of Darkness
I’d want to engulf the
Whole world in darkness
And I’d have a third of it’s real estate
And four-fifths of it’s population
But I wouldn’t be happy until I had seized
The ripest apple on the tree – thee
So I’d set about however necessary to
Take over the United States
I’d subvert the churches first
I’d begin with a campaign of whispers
With the wisdom of a serpent
I would whisper to you as I whispered to Eve
“Do as you please”
To the young I would whisper that
The Bible is a myth
I would convince them that man created God
Instead of the other way around
I would confide that what’s bad is
Good and what’s good is square
And the old, I would teach to pray after me
Our Father – which art in Washington
And then I’d get organized
I’d educate authors in
How to make Lurid literature exciting
So that anything else would
Appear dull and uninteresting
I’d threaten TV with dirtier
Movies and vice versa
I’d peddle narcotics to whom I could
I’d sell alcohol to ladies
And gentlemen of distinction
I’d tranquilize the rest with pills
If I were the Devil I’d soon
Have families at war with themselves
Churches at war with themselves
And nations at war with themselves
Until each in it’s turn, was consumed
And with promises of higher ratings
I’d have mesmerizing media fanning the flames
If I were the Devil I would
Encourage schools to refine young intellects
But neglect to discipline emotions
Just let those run wild!
Until before you knew it
You’d have to have drug sniffing dogs and
Metal detectors at every schoolhouse door
Within a decade i’d have prisons overflowing
I’d have judges promoting pornography
Soon I could evict God from the courthouse
Then from the schoolhouse
And then from the houses of congress
And in His own churches I would substitute
Psychology for religion and deify science
I would lure priests and
Pastors into misusing
Boys and girls and church money
If I were the Devil
I’d make the symbol of Easter an egg
And the symbol of Christmas a bottle
If I were the Devil
I would take from those who have
And give to those who wanted
Until I had killed the
Incentive of the ambitious what will you bet
I could get whole states to promote gambling
As the way to get rich
I would caution against extremes
In hard work, in patriotism, in moral conduct
I would convince the young that
Marriage is old fashioned
That swinging is more fun
That what you see on TV is the way to be
And thus, I could undress you in public
And I could lure you into bed
With diseases for which there is no cure
In other words, if I were the Devil
I’d just keep right on doing what he’s doing
If I were the Devil
I’d just keep doing what he’s doing
If I were the Devil if I were the Devil
I’d just keep doing what he’s doing
If I were the Devil if I were the Devil
I’d just keep doing what he’s doing
If I were the Devil if I were the Devil
I’d just keep doing what he’s doing
If I were the Devi

In her gaze, a shimmering mystery,
A tale of love, whispered softly to me.

With each glance, she paints a story,
In her style, I find love’s glory.

Her eyes, like stars in the night,
Twinkle with secrets, oh so bright.

Her lips, a promise yet unspoken,
In her touch, my heart awoken.

“I love you,” she whispers, so sweet,
Her longing, a melody, my heart’s beat.

Like Mona Lisa, her grace divine,
In her presence, love’s purest wine.

“Ask me my name,” she softly implores,
In her eyes, love’s flame soars.

Yet, in uncertainty, I am lost,
In her mystery, love’s tempest tossed.

But oh, in her ways, a love so true,
In her embrace, I find my due.

Once she saw me, and I saw her too,
In her love, forever I pursue.

For O N E incredible moment

nothing happened ~~~~

and I fell in love

with that NOTHINGNESS

:: 05-28-2014 ::

Oh, Devastation, you’re a ravishing sight,

Your beauty leaves me breathless, day and night.

Your fluttering lashes, a hypnotic trance,

That pulls me deeper into a romantic dance.

Your eyes, like precious jewels, shine so bright,

Reflecting my love for you with sheer delight.

Time stops when you’re around, my world fades away,

And all I see is you, in every single way.

Oh, love, sweet love, how it blossoms within,

A love so perfect, it feels like a sin.

Devastating love, it’s what I desire,

A love that sets my heart and soul on fire.

So love me, my darling, with all that you are,

And we’ll journey together, near or far.

In realms where every point meets its match,
A pot of gold rests, in worlds unlatched.
Oh, let babes cry, let laughter dance,
As we cradle galaxies in our hands, perchance.

Behold, my smiling babe of lore,
At life’s train station, death’s door.
Voices of children, wise beyond years,
Echo truths amidst our fears.

Historical amnesia, our ailment dire,
Yet in each tear, a whispered choir.
So cry, dear babe, and strive anew,
In this tapestry, find the hue.

Greed, a poison in our veins,
Mutes the voices, dims the flames.
Lost astronauts in steel’s cruel embrace,
Seeking solace in another space.

Oh, noble Laureates, heed this plea,
In every word, a symphony.
For in every point, the universe sings,
And in every cry, hope springs.
