Defiant

 

I

“Where's your Jebus Cross?” they ask me;

voices in the dark, faceless puppets rove.

Roaming to and through covetous glee:

“Stop hitting yourself – show your worth!" Indeed!

When no fighting spirit comes out of the trove;

then all value, like a changeling , danger lurks abode –

Ado nothing, I tell your tale in Godspeed.

II

When no candle in the wind held a spark;

no almond tree nor mighty oak gave shelter.

Then Oaths became promises, lost wager remarks;

who could stain their ground: “I Am Christian, in Stark!”

All women became harpies, Men Aunty, Wisemen falter;

drinking their cups, what never empty farther,

from the Mountain towards the Golden Calf embark...

III

Don't ask a Raven: “Why art thou feathers White?”

My business is with God, as a Gatekeeper – to bounce

in, whom ever I might find! My food is blight

in thine eyes, as you judge your brother in the night:

“Nobody shall seethe me, as I do unto others ounce;

as they didst – consequences and mišbat must commence!”

Lend me your eyes and ears ye Wizards of “Egypt is Right!”

IV

Can a Yew look back to the meatpott, or a Christian;

can the fruit judge its tree: “Why did you bare fruit?”

Stand firm in the court of El Shaddai – ye Celestial

Dragons, who are but worms and thermites in the Vestibule!

Your business has always silenced the prayers of Gentiles suit:

“Why dost they wear a tie nor emancipate women, progress a Cute!!”

All, who touch the Honour of God, fighting neighbours, be ridiculed...

V

Moe Lester grooming inside my head, “Mayham,

let me glow in the dark, heartbroken;

when lost both good will and faith gave Sham!

Eating my heart out, soulwrenching stan:

“Where shall be another down, Tomorrow-Hearken;

I shall stand on the corpses of Fallen Fears dark, grim.”

Defiantly face the dauntless juggernaut – who first scram...

VI

No favours to give, no flavours to stir;

who dost gather with Jesus, scatter at Will!

Remember the goat, who horned the Ram in seus;

Alexander, like a Unicorn, defeated the Grand, taking spurs!

Still he wasn't Greater than El Elyon, his star chill;

never rose atop this Mountain, had to descend Bill.

Only Jesus is Messiah, the Morningstar, who will Squire!

VII

But you intend to squirrel, to take it from V

very well, let the masquerade begin: “Carnevale! Vegan,

for Lord God hath decreed: “Just as in the desert Bean;

you shall gourge from the flesh, but get no being.”

No Manna for you, who worship Nehustan, Megan!”

Come back to the fold, humble thee, or face Reagan

at the gates and be undone, wailing in Sheol!!

VIII

Where is Ruben and his gold and silver;

where are the daggers of Simon and Levi?

Benjamin is stealing brides, none like Joseph wither

in Egypt, to bring life under the wrath's sliver...

Only Judah is left, for how long will the Lion levy:

“I can't go to Court, there's a Hunter on the Revy;

a finger shall write piss on the Wall!” Thus you shiver.

IX

Hear the Lions roar: “I want your Soul!”

For your God is a Yealous One, who never relents;

who shall challenge His booty and St. Paul?

Scattered are all your casters, without a Saul!

Your Sermons are undermined with false repents; 

Like soles buying Manors are your gentle manners serpent.

God shall end it all, like the staff of Moses could...

X

Thebes has fallen, but it will rise again;

all your enemies of old, who Jesus struck down!

He will make strong their hand and bargain

swords and shields from the North. Charlemagne

will abdicate and put Irminsul to its place alone.

Slaves you have started, go back to the broken trough,

ye bottomless wives, who want to be Adonai...
