it is rumored that Lord Krishna
herds alone upon some planet
why are my visions women not cows
at the equidistant radiating the universe
insouciant of centers, no longer singular
and should the proton decay, well
reminiscent of the present early Mormon dream
that the Pope, Dali Lama, Canterbury
a farrago of reverends, revering endings
omnium-gatherum of ayatollas, rabbis live
keepers of the flock, shepherds analogy
men. religion, dominance
why are my visions women not sheep
who profess universal love, manifest function
however, the latest lay function still is
piling children, women, books, man
upon the funeral pyres of war, in the name of
this is the threnody of religion and its secular cousin
malfeasance of malevolent manipulation analogy
(remember Spiro Agnew?)
a world where the love of hatred erupts
Lord Ram, God, Allah, Yahweh, Marx, on and on
down the scales of humanities' icons
the one truth worth dying for, killing for
led to believe beneath and above
lies some catholic thread of binding love
benevolent gestures, eternally grateful
prestidigitation of prevaricating pricks  analogy
(remember Agnew resigned then Nixon)
and O God what a history, not herstory
children were given to sacrifice 
babies tossed to the feet of some god
burning oil while drummers silenced the screams
their head pulverable to some priests' whim
now dumped out backdoor clinics
children's crusades past, present
sent thru the minefields with a promise of glory
in that empyreal dictating garret
a loving, kind, intelligent god
theology evolves into philosophy
(more men resigned to opinion)
the "isms", more marches of destruction
philosophy, ideas do not kill, Rousseau
philosophy, ideas do not kill, Marx
philosophy, ideas do not kill, Nietche
the circumlocution of philosophy, ideas kill
ask the automatons of Hegel
actually just peruse Popper 
(from here i pour doubles)
scholasticism, creationism, traducianism
when does the soul begin, original sin, genetic
prelapsarianism, infralapsarianism, supralapsarianism
(has to be the absolute in bullshit)
now metaphysics grasping at physics
science ends, God begins, Augustine invents time
theology, earthquakes punish sinners, theurgy
theology, contretemps of the righteous, theodicy
theology, the art of sciamachy, satan
theology, reprobates find religion in prison, soteriology
theology, behold i come quickly, chiliasm
have an itch, theology has a branch
(where was i, oh yeah, Twain's evilution)
we live in a world where from time to time
mortals spring forth, sometimes via virgins
parthenogenesis in higher forms produce teratiods
as a general rule, this concept is cogitable,
men do not trust man, logical reasoning, minatory
mortals spring forth with the correct behavior
theanthropic in thought, afflatus in interpretation
and if we all will just follow in those footsteps
(we become the oxymoron, mortal immortals)
we too are forgiven, eventually absorbed
this justifies a lot of killing by the followers
we do accept wisdom to a point
expand it to fit the reality we cherish
we are right, you are wrong, simple isn't it
and while the androgenous  ponder beyond
we enate walk the walk with the eve gene
made to pay for the heavens, hells, and bells
confusing to the young mind
thous shall not kill, knowing full well the exceptions
statutory law versus case law
those allusions to the delusions of illusions
the elusions of the illuminati, decerebrati
the literati, God says via me
the arrogauntless, jingoists. bizarre bellicose
(arrogauntless cowards who clamor for war)
the concept of God separates us 
it should bind us
solidarity thru solipsism
anthropocentric, anthropomorphic, anthropopathy
God cannot be anything like us
otherwise, heaven will be nothing but a hell
(that is it, no more rum, wrap up)
born indult, viaticum upon my lips
eastern thought rejoice in this
i know the sins of the golden temple
sit on the ass, sell religion, energy
it is late, outside the ocean roars
frogs in chorus, circadian, sleep
yesterday i slipped cervantes meditations
to a former marxist, change games
(fade camera, cigarette burning the bed)

(dream, chiang kai-shek in church praying)

(coffee, rum, kahlua, cream, day two, start)

part two of this quodlibet my children
for whom this exercise is published
this morning we have astronomy, not astrology
galileo was tried and punished not for the facts
such as the earth revolves around the sun
God forbid, but because he inferred theologians
were nothing but panjandrums, philosophers
where do we get the word "dunce"
(plato was not fond of poets, no reasoning)
facts dictate the sun will eventually perish
along with the meek, credulous, valiant
genius, idiot, savant, geoduck, ejaculatory duct
gia monster, gerbil, ghazi, glossolalia
the ultimate pogrom, nuclear
a small whimper in the universe
the sky holds nothing immortal
chaos, creation, everything is suspect
einsteinium dice dancing born free
inventors of theology, its' inventions
this world is our own making
poor humanity, paradise is not mandated
altho religion mandates quite a bit
(religion means regulated belief)
paradise lies between the ears
we are genetic, environment wrapped in free will
now we see the problem, possibly
it is a beautiful day, i need to walk
i love my struggles thru nature
at times misanthropic but i do love people
you may never understand all of this
you do not have to, just be happy
do good, look not at whom, love one another
and take no shit from anyone
that was all i ever needed
not the magical mystery tour
i am thankful to God
She has been good to me, no bitches
and this i have learned
galileo was correct
jesuit have built a telescope in arizona
a miracle i survived me the goliard
birds have no need of theophilosophy
have lived in God's harmony
probably longer than man realizes
lost in the morning song, branch to branch
bees' happiness is assiduous, flower to flower
follows the iteration of mathematics in the hexagon
it's vomit honey, rejoice in regurgitation
that life is a great opportunity to just be
just another poetaster if you so wish
realize the coconut, as human heads
are hard outside, very hard, liquid center
both capable of growth and killing
see life with a great sense of humor
avoid standing in shadows, be your own
drop coconuts those who press too close
judge not but accept jury duty
you are within rights to judge character
that the playing fields of the lords
chemically active synapsing neurons, water, tissue
reality is a free will with responsibilities
and from whence that comes
that is your journey, do not ignore it
learn from mistakes such as regurgitation
realize God does not build prisons
we do for good and bad reasoning
avoid mountain tops using gorillas
less traveled corniches to your own ends
avoid noses that seek such heights
and that no one deserves to be killed
not one, my children, no appendages
except for the reality,  life must be preserved
(my publisher demanded fifty and four pages)
and i have learned what ubermensch has not
dominance can never be
any part of true happiness
but creativity, integrity certainly are
(my editor said no to this)
this is nothing but an exercise
and here is the result

i remember the nuns whispering
enfant terrible
i wore their hands across my face
as generals do medals upon their chests
it is difficult teaching nuns theology
some women find metaphysics recondite
they believe men, religion, dominance
the naturl order, rather than enculturation
the good ol' boys know best
just ask them, o mother inferior
i know, i know, put out my hands
