| Here are a couple of poems that I found by Bill and Dave.
Kicking Jesus in the Jimmie
I've kicked Jesus in the jimmie
And he's yet even cry.
Now my life's changed in ways so strange
And here's the reason why:
I kicked Jesus in the jimmie.
And, god, he did not winch
Instead he forgave me and tried to save me,
And almost had me convinced
That I'm sinner, that I'm a fool
Is not news to me or you.
Forgive me father, aged sir, for I'm not pure.
God, I know all too well what I do.
Kicking Jesus in the jimmie
I cut my wrist to spite my life
But Jesus is cool and not a fool
That'll come up with a knife.
But I kicked god in the gonads
And the guy did not even cowl.
Instead, he kissed me, which really pissed me,
And I wanted to howl
That "I'm a sinner;" that "I'm a fool."
It's not news to me or you.
Forgive me father, aged sir, for I'm not pure
God, I know all too well what I do.
Yeah, there are those who'd
Kick Christ in jimmie
And swallow Lucifer's load when he explodes
In a chanting rage of "gimme, gimme, gimme!"
So if you kick Jesus in the jimmie
Don't you feel so really blue
You can bet Hade's head that what I've read
Is Jesus'll forgive you too
For being a sinner, for being a fool.
That's not news to me or you.
Forgive us father, aged sir, for we're not pure.
God, we know all too well what we do.
Violent Bamboo
Narcisstic Belladonna in foxgloves, look lively!
Jerusalem's Cherry laureled with Devil's Ivy
Glide like shades of blacken'd Night
And pass betwix beams of Luna's Light
Diva East's mind, an oriental puzzle,
Bound, gagg'd, and muzzl'd
Tied to the gnarled tree of Nature's gallows
And shot in vain with Sebastian's arrows.
Evil's fruit watch'd by writhing snakes
Polished to perfection by William Blake
Given to Adam and pluck'd by Eve
Lie lifeless & still 'neath a poison'd tree.
Through the Garden's prattle
The Violent Bamboo writhes
Weary from battle.
The moon moans & rattles
As it scrapes across the gun-metal sky.
Fairy light beyond the grove
A lighthouse beacon in a Devil's Cove
Betwix the Bamboo boughs that part
To exposure thy thorny sarced heart.
Windswept whispers from yonder grave
Sit with me in the grotto's darkest enclave
And converse in verses with the Dead below
My lover, in life, of long ago.
While through the Garden's prattle
The Violent Bamboo writhes
Weary from battle.
The moon moans & rattles
As it scrapes across the rusted sky.
