Jesus said, "If those who lead you say to you, 'See, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is inside of you, and it is outside of you. When you come to know yourselves, then you will become known, and you will realize that it is you who are the sons of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you dwell in poverty and it is you who are that poverty."
-The Gospel of Thomas, Saying 3
I n I never to be remember Babylon anymore
I n I never to be remember Babylon anymore
Rastafari cast them record of sinfulness
Into the fire of forgetfulness
I n I never to be remember Babylon anymore.
Morality Laundering
the view from the moral high ground:
both sides condemnable.
how convenient for me, as
bullets and missiles from American factories
atomize the Believers.
al-Khidr can blossom in any condition.
indeed, perhaps his essence grows best
when He is not meant to prevail.
the educated have ideas to fix the problem.
ideas have never fed anyone.
does His Majesty weep at what we’ve done
to the Lion’s creation?
the pope sits on a golden throne
while the Whores of Babylon play chess.
no matter who is exterminated, Europeans tried first
with their goddamned ideas.
