Please be leery of False Prophets

Be leery of false prophets, they are leading you astray.

They’ve read our words, and learned our hurts, now they regurgitate our pain.

They offer you condolence. Pretty words to stroke your mane.

They fill your heads with silly words, soothing fear with Novocain.

I hear them all around us, their voices muffling our doubt.

They’re quick to give you answers. Quick to show you their way out.

Be leery of false prophets, no one should PROFIT in God’s name.

You know the holy virtues yet you ignore their blatant shame.

They give you something sweet to eat to take away your reason,

Then they sell you something blasphemous, glorifying holy treason.

Don’t buy their books, their classes, please remember what you know.

No prophet can sell righteousness, you must find it on your own.

Stay far away from these false prophets. Do not let them steal our thoughts.

They’re using us to study how feeling humans speak to God.

They repeat what we have learned, never going through the struggle.

Then they wrap it in a bow to entice the mass into their bubble.

Do not ignore your feelings, these evil spirits will disturb you.

Know yourself, please don’t ignore the voice that speaks within you.

Be leery of false prophets. These times are grave indeed.

Continue on your spiritual journey. Be safe friends, promise me.

These vampires don’t understand you. They will never know our pain.

Their egos have consumed them. They want the world to know their name.

Treacherous times before us, but we still have our faith.

Modest disciples still in search of God. We cannot lose our way.

But,

I see you well, false prophets. Your presence sickens me.

I feel everyone’s intentions. You simply cannot hide your greed.

Your petty, selfish ways will soon expose you to the soldiers.

Those like me, put here to see to ending your destruction.

So Be leery of the Empaths.

 

I encourage you to stay away.

Some of us have had enough. We won’t be used for evil’s way.

Baby Song

We lived in a magical garden, shielded from steel and dismay.

Slept in the crevice of a nook in a nest, but always together were we.

Journeyed the world without fortune, fortunate to live everyday.

Felt the frigid snow mountains, the tropical trees, and the crush of the tepid teal waves.

With love alone we’ve traveled so far, and now a journey anew.

A seedling born from our imperfect love. Even more love for me and for you.

The Merry Pair

He was merry

She was merry

Merry they would be.

They would marry

persons married

Married with a deed.

Sold a merry

Stole a merry

Never she would be.

Just to marry

To be married

sold within a deed.

He was merry

she was merry

younger, lighter speed.

Sold his married

and Her merry

for a brighter breed.

Without merry

though She carried

his and Her love’s steed

There She buried

Their love’s merry

Stout and breathless breed.

Reflection Teddy Bear

Why are you standing there

you tethered bear

just staring back at me?

Your tethered hair

so patchy there

that I can barely see,

the teddy bear

they made with care

then packaged carefully,

sitting there

still wrapped with care

you waited patiently.

Caged up there

for all to stare

he chose you carefully.

You were his teddy bear

once made with care

but made to bear his needs.

 

Made to bear

his lack of care

His lack of decency.

Made too bare

He left you there

so tethered at the seams.

 

Why are you standing there

you tethered bear

just staring back at me?

Brush your hair

and don’t despair

you won’t be bearing me.

I’m not a tethered bear

with weathered hair

not ripping though it seems,

I’m just another bear

too worn to care

that now I’m finally free.

Free

Come with me a while

Rest your weary mind.

Smiling is exhausting

If it’s hiding what’s inside.

 

Stay with me a moment

And let your body breath.

Poise becomes oppressive

It’s the only thing they see.

 

Play with me a pleasure

And close your tired eyes.

Seeing is a business

But feeling moves our lives.

 

Sit with me in present

And let your spirit be.

Protection is illusion.

Love is all we need.
