Demon Lie Exposed (+3)
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Thanks Tamara, most of what the good Sisters taught me I have carried
with me, but some of the precepts they were charged with enforcing I
never believed—even as an 8 year old.

I adore the concept of the Holy Trinity, but the other concept they taught,
that only Catholics go to heaven, I knew was flawed and ludicrous from the start.

Anyway, the good thing was it started me to think, and after College and
Graduate School as a Philosophy-Theology student—I really majored in
\'Hypocrisy Revealed.\'

And no, it did not endear me to my Jesuit Professors.

Thanks for reading.

Demon Lie Exposed (+3)
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:

Kurt, I seriously enjoyed all three poems, but the first one, \"Demon Lie Exposed,\" was profound and reflects the corruption that was not included in Canon Law, but was eventually brought to light and finally exposed to the world.

Sorry you were one of the victims.

Thanks for sharing. :)

Crossing Over—Turned Around (+1)
Kurt Philip Behm said:

Ahhh, the wisdom of Grand Master Tzu.

The Perpetual Present Moment is the underpinning
and foundation of all of my writing.

Thanks again Laura for the inspiration!

Crossing Over—Turned Around (+1)
Laura🌻 said:

Kurt,

Two super writes...especially
“The Perpetual Present”!
That is the longest write you’ve ever posted since I’ve known you! I’m almost positive that it will be included in your anticipated Anthology 3! If it isn’t, it should be...in my humble opinion.

Reading “The Perpetual Present” reminded me of the following quote by Lao Tzu...

“If you are depressed you
are living in the past.
If you are anxious you are
living in the future.
If you are at peace you are
living in the present.”

Kurt,

You truly are a brilliant writer! You amaze me with every posting!

• Death But A Servant

The first couplet is deliciously enticing! It’s like taking a bite of a delicious treat...
One bite is not enough...
Must finish the entire treat...

That’s how it felt reading your gem...
“Death But A Servant “

The Truth On Trial
Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:

Insightful! Wasn\'t it Pilate who stated, \"What is truth?\"

Kurt, it\'s unfortunate that you are not able to send them both a copy.

Excellent account, in poetic form, of today\'s headlines.

Great job, as usual. :)

Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet said:

Kurt, the words you\'ve penned take the reader through a logical thought process.

You make the reader \"think with this poem and then he or she is left to wonder if what you\'ve stated may be true. What if there is really a parallel universe. :)

Great poem from a wonderful writer.

Kurt,

• LaLa Land

A great read!
Message clear!

A smart phone can be an obsession. However, I’m thankful that I have one (don’t want a computer)! If I didn’t own one, I would not have met the “Award Winning Best Selling Author”...

The \"Disappear Into Your Smart Phone\" poem is brilliant. You should have posted it separately.

If I had written it, I probably would have concluded with something like the following:

Government DNA database:: Thanks for your fingerprints. :)

Kurt, nice to see you here. :)

Your words of logic contain such deep meaning.

I\'m not certain of the format; however, I particularly liked the first and last of your quotes.

Great job!

Ahh ,there\' some comedy films where they say \'Oh it\'s all right, let\'s rave up; I\'m going to confession the next morning anyway\' as if it can just be brushed away.
And - some priests and those confessing need to change places sometimes! What goes on behind some closed doors, etc.
Well, it\'s difficult if some priests are forbidden to marry. I will stop before I get started on RC churches. doh!
