The Call Of Banias (+1)

Kurt Philip Behm

A river of

redemption

waiting beyond

These shallows

of torment

and rocks devil spawned

With rapids

approaching

white water ahead

Their nature

and prophecy

fueling the dread

As speed

is increasing

its roar on the rise

The falls

of the Jordan

— to live or to die

 

(Snake River ‘Lunch Counter:’ September, 2020)

 

 

 

The State Of Disunion

 

Treating

the symptoms

ignoring

the cause

The outcome

redundant

all change

stuck on pause

 

The people

the problem

the root

of the pain

No law

or restriction

can change

DNA

 

Our values

on fire

from those

who are lost

They hate

with an ignorance

perdition

defrosts

 

You can’t make

an omelet

with eggs

that won’t fry

And you can’t save

the farm

feral pigs

— in the sty

    ‘’The people
    the problem
    the root
    of the pain
    No law
    or restriction
    can change
    DNA‘’. Nice one 👍🏻
