even staunch God-believers
crave for things mundane
neglecting those divine

This Child of Bethlehem
This child will teach us how to love,
and let us hope again.
This child draws nurture from a girl,
protectiveness from man.
This child can make a family
where there was none before,
and make us crave the crafts of peace
and not the arts of war.
This child, now born, will change the world
from mundane to Divine.
The wisdom of this innocent
trumps all the years of mine.

We're horribly mundane, aggressively mundane individuals. We're the ninjas of the mundane, you might say.

Chemical Love
People goin round
Tellin others they are square
Around and round in circles
Is a ride that goes somewhere
All you need to fly
Is a heart dying to try
A chemical love
Its a chemical love
Aint nothin to it
Gettin cash when you are broke
Doin lots of time
Is worth a little snort of coke
Infected needles
Can aid you in no time
Through chemical love
Youve got a chemical love
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
Youve got a chemical jones
Youve got a chemical love
Yeah, a chemical love
Youve got chemical love
Some people find themselves hooked on the
Weirdest things
That have nothing to do with living
Gods gift to us is our life whats ours to him
If its not our love, then nothings given, given
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
Youve got a chemical jones
For a chemical love
Yes its true
The best things in life are free
Not material
Chemical or physically
Try it for yourself
Youll get a guaranteed high
From spiritual love, natural miracle drug
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
Youve got a chemical jones
Youve got a chemical love
Youve got a chemical love
For a chemical drug
Some people crave for physical love
Some people crave material love
Yet fewer crave for spiritual love
You need a spiritual jones
For that spiritual love
Im talking to you
We all could do with spiritual jones
For some spiritual love

The Goddess Of Love, Art And Beauty

the Goddess of
Love &

Grace
and what she touches
even those
that are so mundane
from the beginning
at the end
transforms
themselves into
the most
divine.

D. J.
Im home, lost my job, and incurably ill
You think this is easy, realism
Ive got a girl out there, I suppose
I think shes dancing
Feel like dan dare lies down
I think shes dancing, what do I know?
I am a d.j., I am what I play
Cant turn around no, cant turn around, no, oh, ooh
I am a d.j., I am what I play
Cant turn around no, cant turn around, no, oh no
I am a d.j., I am what I play
I got believers (kiss-kiss)
Believing me, oh
One more, weekend, of lights and evening faces
Fast food, living nostalgia
Humble pie or bitter fruit
I am a d.j., I am what I play
Cant turn around no, cant turn around no, ooh
I am a d.j., I am what I say
Cant turn around no, cant turn around, ooh
I am a d.j., I am what I play
Ive got believers (kiss-kiss)
Believing me
I am a d.j., I am what I play
Cant turn around no, cant turn around
I am a d.j., I am what I play
Cant turn around no, cant turn around
I am a d.j., I am what I play
Can turn around no (kiss-kiss)
Time flies when youre having fun
Break his heart, break her heart
He used to be my boss and millions of puppet dancer
I am a d.j., and Ive got believers
Ive got believers
Ive got believers
Ive got believers in me
Ive got believers
I am a d.j., I am what I play
I am a d.j.

Are There Believers?
We professed divine mandate
We speak for the Most High
God's mind is our minds
We are adept in memorising verses
Recitation of holy sciptures is our pride
We qoute verses upon verses
Our appearance is sanctimonious
We are authorities in piety
Our views are Godly
Our tongues eloquently preaches virtue
We are truly the angels of God
That seats with the cherubims
Eating spiritual foods with seraphims.
Behold! What we are outside
Is different from our inside.
What our lips professed
Varies with what are confessed.
We say peace where none exists.
We annihilate each others
In the name of our faiths.
We are intolerant of each other.
Greed, selfishness and avariciousness
Are our three square meals.
We kill in the name of God
As if God is unable to fight.
We seat on the judgemental throne
Adjucating on God's behalf.
We are just fake believers
Maquerading as true believers.
Where are then are true believers?

Mamabor
This road is not always taken on by the wise,
Because it leads to the house of the fools!
And i crave to meet you my love oh Mamabor.
I crave for your care and peace,
i crave for your love and kindness,
I crave for your voice and the songs of love!
For you are Mamabor and you are all that i need.

Sonnet: Heaven Decrees All Things On Earth
Nothing on earth can happen on its own;
All things require sanction that’s divine;
No one since birth is really alone;
Heaven decides inebriety of wine!
Only a fool expects his labor’s worth;
Some soar much higher than they can, not long;
Some woes befall in periods after mirth;
A silence dead comes after every song!
Let man not think that he achieves all things;
The Maker has allowed a freedom strange;
No one is truly great even ’midst kings;
God-given talents are umptine in range!
Let man not boast about his mundane pelf;
Without God’s help, nothing man does himself!

The Photosynthesis Of The Mind.....
what i have inside my mind
is converted into
food,
the mundane
into divine
bits
in the same manner that we have accepted
how these leaves
take in light and
live....

Vacillation Galore
as usual
i am not doing what i am supposed to do,
somehow, all these unnecessary things are
filling me with what i do not crave for,
what i crave for
i do not have anyway
and so the retaliation comes
this way and that way where everything levels up
to fair and equal
unsatisfactions
what is the use of all these
you cannot understand anything about my everything
there is this thirst that does not ask for water
there is this hunger that does not talk about food
there is this home where there is nobody
there is this love that hates me.

Riches and the things that are necessary in life are not evil in themselves. And all of us face cares and troubles in this life. The sin comes in the time and energy we spend in pursuing these things, at the expense of neglecting Christ.

Like a Bat
He...
Of mundane ramblings.
Seeking attention that does not come.
He is stunned.
Wishing such isolation,
Would attract.
He...
Of mundane ramblings.
Is like a bat.
Hanging!
Only to scare,
His own reflection!

A Tantrum....
writing is divine
seeing is mundane
one is purified the
other is soiled
waters from the sky
wash the stains
sighs of the heart
move the stairs
ask the magnetite
what attraction does
everything clings like
nails on the head

Time For A Break
I'm taking a break from Penelope Hayes
I've been living in her pocket for days
I love her to bits but the truth of it is
I owe some time to my husband and kids
Its not that I'm bored of her company
The opposite really, she makes me feel free
I treasure the joy of our two way exchange
But to be so wrapped up in one person looks strange
I'll knock for you soon my sweet of lady of lilt
But neglecting my kin leaves me riddled with guilt
My family crave my full focus on them
So dear Penny, kiss kiss and TTFN.

His Holy Pranks
When I believe in God
I think I must also fall in line
With those, who say there’s no God
I sound so weird? ! Do I?
But weirdest is He, His ways alas! !
The God did create Himself
As an amorphous body of love
And made his charm known
To a few of His prophets
But the prophets became wiser
They made God in their own image
Ascribed to Him their own theories
Some rational and many absurd
Wore on their faces garish symbols
And played loud trumpets
That their God alone was the greatest
And pasted posters on humans’ mind walls
Showing Poor God
In forms diverse with features varied
To God’s own doubt of what He was
But God is the best and the wisest
To keep His believers to test
To prevent the devotion
Crossing the limits of faith
And becoming superstition
And turning into fanaticism
He created at last
A formidable opposition
Called the atheism! ! !
Now…. isn’t there equilibrium?
Let us now admire
His good governance
He applied checks and balances
In His democratic universe
Even before the Greeks, Romans and Indians
Did start thinking of ‘demos’
Well, well, well! He is the original
Let us bow to Him and His holy pranks
And appreciate both His wise creations
The staunch believers and the rational pagans
With equal respect and reverence

Sonnet: God’s Wine
Inebriate me Lord, with Thy celestial wine,
Of mercy, freely, flowing from Thy heart;
Thence-forth let my thoughts/ actions turn divine,
And let my earthly living become art.
Bestow on me a sinner, Thy love’s wine,
Ready forever to intoxicate;
And thereafter, let love spring forth divine;
From my mundane heart and well permeate.
Shower on me, earthling, like rain thy Wine,
Of grace that helps me brave all earthly storms;
Invigorate me Lord, make me divine;
Let me renounce all the demoniac forms.
Let me be drunk in thy mercy, love and grace,
And fight the tempter’s onslaught with great pace.

I Wish For
That silence that i crave is here
That pin dropp moment ever sought
That tick tock hear the clock moment
That hum of background hush
That silence that i crave is here
The TV light is glowing red
The phone though on is silent, dead
Just flickering lights and I
That silence that I crave is here,
That sky so dark yet witness still
Partner in my crime of hushed perfection
Stand on guard we face my insurrection
The silence that I crave is here
Be gone the thoughts of daylight shrill
Attacked from every angle still
When moments thought engulfed..
The silence that i crave is here
No money funded e'er a place
That spawned such words in loving grace
The silence that I craved is here.

God Bestows A Martyr’s Crown
God bestows many crowns
upon faithful discrete servants
in heaven herald highest worn
is prestigious martyr’s crown
servants who willing laid down
their precious witness life blood
earned in peaceful protest divine
against any corruptible depraved
evil on earth detestable practices
win right to heaven worn crown
five crowns be choices in heaven
five crowns rewards for believers
at Judgement Seat of Jesus Christ
believers earned in earthly bodies
