A Change of Wine

In they walked as boys and girls,

They carried pains, they carried scares.

They stood like lambs among the wolves

The shout of hope was whispered now.

Yet as they stood and as they sang,

They heard the ancient whisper cry

Of a love so strong that hate would die

And a peace so sweet that none would cry.

Some jumped who could not jump before,

Some laughed who could but cry before,

Some danced who lied in chains before.

Yet eternity did tremble,

When some fell in love with love itself

Who did not know this love before.

And now you men and women,

We pray you won’t lose your love,

But that the streets would glow forever bright

So stand up for hope, when none may stand.

Genocidal Blindness

Let us never not dream to our lost soul,

That the oligarch’s blood is not our own.

Pretense of two worlds, one rich; one on dole

Allows us to watch children die to bone.

As vultures we prey on your bankruptcy

To make us free of our deformity.

Darfur forgotten is catastrophe,

Burning houses show its reality.

When meet we at heaven’s gate, do try me

For my silent sins, I sold you to death.

It was too painful to see you not free

Instead chose we not to see… your last breath.

    If love still be true, and walk among men
    Pray we love will make blind men see. Amen.

Tides

Strange things the tides have brought

The sea has worn away your walls

It washed away your humble pride

Three generations hid for despair

Inside that armored barricade

Three generations of salty seas

Have licked upon your bloody wounds

Your fortresses now consumed

Your people bow to another throne

Your guardians are those the people hate

Now the land has spit you out

Like Israelites to Babylon

Now you lust for golden gods

The blind gods whom you see.

Yet now the tide is going back

The fields are ripe for harvest

Pardoned are the holy sinner’s sins

Now us sleepy dreamers

Its time to dream once more

Now us fiery fecal hearts

Do you feel the fire roar?

A new generation walks this land

Who knows not of the wardrobe doors

Nor of stone tables where Aslan died

Let us pray his rain would come

Your desert land will see rivers still

The greatest harvest ever seen

Will be ready for your children’s hand.

For the Sake of Love

I walk in a blind world
Its heart has become hard
Its ears are now deaf
Like a cataract, the blindness spreads.

They slaughter without conscious
Lie devoid of intention
As they bow to death
And become enslaved to its power.

They forgot how to love
Forgot kindness existed
They forgot the truth
So worshiped a lie.

And I fight
Not for Freedom
Not for Equality
Not even for you.

I fight so truth is told
And love made known
I will battle till my death
I will fight for us all.

But don’t be mistaken
These words don’t bring peace
These words make child fight father
While brother kills brother.

I’ve been told they’ll hate me
I’ve been told they’ll exalt me
But I don’t fight with a sword
My sword is the word.

Yet when they kill
For their hate of love
For their love of hate
I’ll stand and smile
For the sake of love.

Did you see the city?

Did you see the city?
Burning without flames

Did you hear the city?

Where the song of silence sings

This is the city.

Where the free are born in chains

Where the skyscrapers cry,

For the blood of their slave

This is the city.

Where Babel was rebuilt

Where self imposed Gods dine,

Feeding on a beggars crumb

This is the city.

Like Atlantis lost in time

Both behind and before,

Yet now the sinful saints fall

Did you smell the city?

Burning without smoke

Did you feel the city?

Trembling in its hope

Dear Scotland

Dhá millennium ago

The butcher diced Gaelic brains

Watching blood ooze from the veins 

Still they held immunity

To not caress Rome’s vanity

A Childbirth Juxtaposed

Scotland’s freedom triumphed

Behind a wall in isolation

Devoid of foreign entanglement

Their glory was theirs alone

English Kings grew jealous

So English Kings did march

The kilts where burnt in blazes

The kilts where born in blood

For three centuries of time

The wars of blood did loll

Brave heroes died immortal

Till Scotland’s peace did fall

A Scottish King would rule both lands

Such irony be heard

Scottish knees that bowed before

Now walked on England’s throne

A birth given not in blood

A marriage given without love

Two nations then, one nation now

Seventeen O’ Seven

Welcome to this noble land

Free markets born

Steam engines roar

Bacteria are damned

Yet happy endings did not come

For Peace did meet his match

Our soldiers died eternal deaths

As poppies fed off thistle and rose

An elected Caeser now sailed the sea

So soldiers bore war for liberty

In kilts they duelled, in kilts they died

For English Boys and Scottish Girls

Now blind men walked the earth

For the chasm was hard to see

The sick lay cared by Doctors

While The Doctor walked our screens

Welcome to this noble land

Sporting muggles born

Wizards soar

Mars bars are deeply fried

Yet the ghost of divorce comes creeping

Though not born in blood

He steals away our love

Twenty O’ Fourteen

Now Scotland you must choose

To keep or break your vows

I ask that you would stay

Leaving walls to histories’ town

So Salmond can you kid

If you think old Britain’s done

For though not born in love

The Union still is one.

The Wave

I’m in a wave

I’m in an all consuming wave

A wave born out of the chasm in Gods heart

It’s when my soul meets his, and then meets another

This is not a tame seaside wave

This is a cosmic, eternal invincible wave

It’s a wave that will carry on, till I’m dead in my bones

It’s a wave that will carry on, till time is buried in his grave

This wave is so powerful, it’s carrying me paralyzed

My heart cannot simply contain what this wave has put inside of me

The wave goes as far as I can see, and as far as I can see it’s pounding straight for me

This is wave that will have cataclysms on the being of time itself

It is an all consuming wave that leaves my heart breathless in amaze

You see this is a wave that has come over me since the day it began

A small wave at first, is now reaching land

Like a tsunami let it destroy all that it may reach

Like a hurricane may it destroy the foundations of alters on which our knees bow

This is a wave that echoes in the eternal history of time

It is a wave that comes from the sea of love

In all four forms of love

This is a wave that leads men to die

It is a wave that was born of blood

That has been moving through generations

Until its will would be done

This is the wave that will see all things come

It is the wave that creation has longed for in eager expectation

This is the wave that will bring captives from there chains

This is the wave that will bring a broken hurting world free from pain.
