Bending a Knee to Baal

Head of lead and feet of clay
Flapping Lips have their say
Brazen idol olden golden
Raised fists are emboldened

Demagoguery war of foggery
Inky stink of word boggery
Unfettered streams of worshipful praise
He will Save us from our malaise

Disparate desperation
calling us to oblation
Bonded bands of warring priests
Calling us to join their feasts

No one can
save you
No one should
save you

New messiahs for social pariahs
just another line of --- liars
Personality over powers
empty suits empty towers

Over burdened feet of clay
can not help but to give way
Spokes model idol fallen idle
Empty revival vain word recital

Led by malevolent benevolence
To our Magnificent irrelevance
We shall avoid the next disaster
By simply electing a better master

He who would
save you
instead will
enslave you

Already Great, Thanks

What is America
I am America
are you?
I am already great.
aren't you?
If not,
why not.
What will it take
to make you great?
Will it take
a man
with an
orange tan
to make you great
If so,
why so?
What is so great
about America
Me and
even you
I have already
been made
haven't you?

Abandon Hope and Change Course

I am a firm believer of mutual self construction.
By which I mean individuals
united in their seclusion.
Conjoined disjointed orphans
Erecting a Solace of Fortitude,
Asylums of Family Disunity
A harmonious cacophony of orchestrated solos
Instrumental temperamental
monumental chorus vocalizing
localizing
Individual vision

Alas
Feral sheep shepherded astray
by a Piper's dulcet atonement
Promissory sour notes called
due
Bald faced ideological ribaldry
Preselected elected offal, officious
Inhumane scentipede
Mentally ill dressed succession
of public servants self servicing

Disarmed armada of the disillusioned
flotilla of fools on the Hill
Come sale away with me, indeed
Flotsam jet setters presiding
Deciding
Die-er consequences
Pirated copies of declarations
of interdependence.
Anchors a weigh

My country-
 tis for me
Sweet land where things are free
Of me Im singing
Land where our fathers sighed
Land where their dreams have died
State of Ship of State, Sinking

The Secular Leftist Fusion Of Church And State

     Recently, a devoutly Christian friend expressed a degree of frustration with aspects of the treatment of Christians in contemporary culture. Her moment of frustration, specifically, 

     

     Now, I’m a Godless heathen. I, and other fellow heathens that I know have found ourselves in an odd, unexpected place – defending Christians freedom to practice their religion in the manner they see fit. Heretic that I am, I’m going to take a shot at both defending Christians ability to practice their faith in the manner they see fit and try to address my friend’s frustrations.

     At the heart of the matter, the secular left does not understand the First Amendment; the part that says, “or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” in regards to religious expression and/or practice.

Amendment I. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

The secular left also has a hard time with the “shall not establish,” part. There has been a long standing blurring of lines in regards to expression versus establishment by Atheist organizations, as well as a contortion of distinguishing between a state house and an act of congress. Under a thin veil of “civil rights,” there has been a judicial as opposed to legislative approach to the chiseling away of the bedrock of religious practices where public eyes may fall upon the practice of living by the edicts of ones specific sect.
     The secular left is, in a strange and contrarian manner, INSISTING on a state definition or sanction of religion; an establishment of sectarian permissible practice, an ESTABLISHMENT of religion, an establishment of secular interpretation upon sectarian practices and expression of religion. It is an imposition of a State sanctioned and regulated Religion.

Yah, it’s totally ass backwards, in regards to the Constitution. 

     Look, it's just this simple, my friend(s); the secular left has no regard or concern for religious faith, principal, practice, and will take every opportunity to manipulate and distort the scriptures of your sect and use relativism to turn those edicts upon their ear as a weapon against you as a means to their self comforting, self serving ends.
