Odin

One eyed lord of the blind tool in the hands of God Your followers, easy to find You think you control the stage but you're just a prop As your puppets wither away in rage another Spirit comes of age A Spirit that was, is and shall be the Ruler of you and me As you fall, we become free Sign in to see full entry.

Gandmaster Puppet

Oh Grandmaster Puppet! Why do you hide behind the Queen of the Sun? taking even yourself for a ride Killing the Princess of Hope was a bad plan at best Soon you will have to answer this question and the rest Sign in to see full entry.

My Afrika in Skerwe

Van lank geleë het ons jou betrag ons droomland van onbetwiste prag van kinders onder 'n warm son wat lag en velde oop en ruim en grasland sag Hier wou ons die einde in vrede inwag nou lê die kinders in die veld geslag en onderkruipers en diewe lê op wag vir onskuldige kinders van God in die nag Die tyd kom nader vir die laaste jag Dit help nie meer om te lank te wag Moeg is ons van trane en weëklag Ons sal nou moet opstaan met mag Dan sal ons nie meer paai dan sal ons nie meer wit vlae swaai...

The Obscured Kingdom

The Kingdom is within us but invisible while the poisons and puss are permitted to stay The Kingdom is all around but only audible once we have tuned into its sound and listen carefully Hatred and confusion: burn the chaff in the fire of love carelessness and delusion: cut out the dead wood with clarity of mind The weeds that smother the vine withholds the prize profanity looks divine and locks the gates of paradise Sign in to see full entry.

Atla st

Long ago, far away the Prince and Princess of Atla ran away to stay away building pyramids and sphinxes altars and temples cathedrals and castles how low are they now fallen strangers in a strangers land awaiting the end of time for a new dawn the trumpets are clear but they are nowhere near Sign in to see full entry.

Running to and from

Once upon a time I ran wild in darkness to a chime eternal child to sit flat-feet hunched under a tree lookout to the bunched pretending to be free a powerspot I thought but I was alone it thus came to naught on a dew-wet throne of grass in a place otherwise dry waiting for someone silently I did cry waiting for that one who never knew me whom I never got to know yet I longed to be I wanted you to show But once you did come out I knew I'd loose you I gave a little night-owl shout but only the...

Surge of Shattering

A surge in aspirations trying for and vying for a place of excitation many teachers soar words and lectures abound telling us to be always kind while this is true and sound there also has to be a different mind This mind is not for everyone but for those who have been so ordained to wield a worded chord that is no fun to let the darker minds be drained For those not so appointed hold fast your faith at the feet of your anointed while others work with lathe Before the New World can form there has...

How can we love

How can we love when our bodies are burning How can we sleep when your heads are turning How can we be free when our fears are churning fires in our souls while our brothers are burning it is now we need to start learning history coiling into the future Sign in to see full entry.

Shooting Star

As you’re crucified again and again The question raised no longer, when Forgiveness dies of lies from lips and pen And the people do not want to hear About a shooting star from yesteryear As they stumble blind and filled with fear I keep a stranger flame your ode I feel your heart explode and see the sorrow on their road Away with you and all you’ve said They’d rather you had turned those stones to bread They care no longer who for what has bled When light at last will gather here Realizing the...
