Vision...In The World Of The Blind

 








Vision

(In The World Of The Blind)



Peering through the darkness growing
I saw the forms of men
Running in the black winds blowing
Their banners raised for sin
Rounding up the innocents
Rallying the troops
Separating goats and lambs
To isolated groups
Whistleblowers silencing
Preachers preaching truth
Scandalized and smeared with lies
Without an ounce of proof
I saw the evil rising
To rooftops and to sky
Spreading chaos through the land
As the blind embraced the lie
Oceans full of grief and greed
Sweeping out the earth
Bringing death to young and old
That never knew new birth
Bullets flying, children crying
Blood running in the street
While drug cartels, the spawn of hell
Walked by on spotless feet
Politicians shaking hands
Making dirty deals
Bought and paid for in back rooms
From power broker shills
Taking from the average Joe
Taking from the salt
Of earth, those good and godly folk
Whose souls cannot be bought
And in the penthouses of the world
Sipping cold champagne
The idol makers strategize
To give their puppets fame
(It's all about the wealth and gold
It's all about the choice
To let them tell you what to say
While they use your voice)
I saw the wars on paper planned
The calculated death
The skies so full of chemicals
You could hardly draw your breath
Marching to the hospitals
Begging for the drugs
I couldn't tell in that sick hell
The housewives from the thugs
Plans and schemes and shattered dreams
Lay scattered on the ground
While hope went up in ashes
And hopelessness came down
And men in thousand dollar suits
Tore down the nations' borders
And bowed before the entities
From which they take their orders
I saw there in the Spirit's light
The plan of old so clear
I felt the cold breath on my neck
The Devil stood so near
Like ants beneath his feet are men
Disposable, obtuse
He drains their souls, throws them away
When there is no more use
I saw there in the darkness growing
From sea to shining sea
Demon and man work hand in hand
And I know that they saw me
They saw me see the ancient Plan
They saw me grasp their dream
They saw me raise my righteous fist
They saw me and they screamed
And in the darkness a multitude
Of lights blinked on and blazed 
The Army of the Lord awakened
And their righteous fists were raised
I saw the enemy scatter then
Like insects in the light
The Devil's plan undone, unwon
As the blind received their sight.

Here's A Quarter.....

 



California Studs and Duds (no offense to good guys from there) if there are any....JK


 






California Studs and Duds


There was a dark cloud over my house

And the sun had been erased

The day you took your pretty mask off

And let me see your face.


The day all the love and all of the trust

You'd been building in me without doubt

Dissolved into reality like the illusion it was

And left me standing there open mouthed..


I should have known, I should have known

Should have seen those red flags flapping

In the breeze of your insincerities

As I fell into your trapping.


Why is it that almost every man I've met

From that California land

Seems to be a narcissist in love with himself

And the mirror in his hand?


Believing his own hype

And legacies of his own making,

Believing he has wisdom and depth

But he's shallow and he's faking.


Is there something in the water out there

That creates these hateful lovers?

Something there that turns real into unreal

When you pull back the covers?


Do all these actors walk around

Playing characters and roles?

Auditioning hearts to play their next victim

As the heart of the last one folds?


I never dreamed upon meeting

These dazzling, daunting creatures

That soon the charm would melt away

And expose such darkened features.


And all the witless, undone wrong

Would be thrown in my face

Stabbed with cold accusing eyes

Then find myself replaced.


I never ever saw it coming

The rug pulled beneath my feet

I stood with shattered mind and with

My heart like shredded wheat.


They hate it when they see you see

Though you've been so sweet and fair

That when their masks are torn away

There's simply nothing there.


Emptiness and hollowness

These California studs........

Are full of that and yet still boast

When they're exposed as duds.


I'm not a cruel and spiteful person

Not a mean bone in my frame

And everyone that knows me well

Speaks highly of my name.


Self lovers play such awful games

They don't know how to love

They only like it  you're when  down

And they're hovering up above.


Never meet your idols, they say

And that saying I find to be fact

I gave my poor heart to those that I adored

And now, well.... I just want my heart back.


California dude, I've torn down your pedestal

As you're flexing your muscles out there in the sun

Turning and yearning to break another sweet heart

You can turn over now, 'cause baby,  you're done.
