when i swear in vain i try to use a
‘W’
but i wonder if God knows or
accepts the
difference
if i wrote it down instead
made sure not to read it aloud
in a live or recording session
forever in print
though
and said
‘damn’
guess there is no
difference

God
while
I may move
in all directions
I
know
you follow me
and like a compass
when I bow
my
head
I find you in my hands
and
allow you
to
lead me.
Take me away from
trouble times
lead this worried mind
in the direction
you know
best
and I will follow.

Do Not Dare Hunt
barrabas
liars and thieves
yourselves
do not chant his name
or mine
or His
I am here only on behalf
of Rome
do not strip this man down
and release this other
claiming justice
or holy valour
My Hands Are Washed
but you have made me
as dirty as
yourselves
hiding 2 meanings for 2 men in 1 name
i have written the truth above His head
my gesture in this way incomparable
unable or wanting
to hang myself with
him
You Angry Mob
the puppeteers are above you
below and within
Do You Not See
I Can See
these words you recite are not your own
But Somehow Far Worse
man or Son of God
this day will not matter
years after and more years
after this dark day
His name will live on
in a light none we can
comprehend
not barrabas this son of the father
but His
This Man – Son of Man – and God
