and if a man would do the right,
he should speak the right,
but people are uncareful
with their words and
inprecise in their actions.

so if i would say
its the same to win or lose
they would think it's nihilistic
but what they're missing
is the idea
that certainty is on the side of the right
and the right is the side of the truth.

that's why there's people who feel
they would rather be poor and clean and humble
than be paid for meaningless work,
and why others ask how they could go on
without their material lives and happiness.

it's true
that it's very hard to live without things,
but to care for things is much harder.
time is better spent in caring for life around you.



he, from whom am i?



so the question remains
who is he,
from whom am i?
the second person cannot be known,
which is why it is said that we are
one, without a second.

seconds derive from firsts,
but in our case,
we have been derived,
one from the other.
a syzygy,
two parts, one whole.

and so it falls out that,
while amen is everyman,
and i am twin headed horus,
He is the lion of judah.

thus we refer to ourselves,
i and i,
my self, before the almighty i;
and though we have suffered,
we will suffer no more.

i and i suffer (no more)

the queen will be blue


she gave me a cloak,
so fine to wear,
and said that the servant will serve.

i said,
but hold,
you know that's not so,
we all get just what we deserve.


i heard your lord say,
the oaks pass away,
i and the queen will be blue.
amidst affairs and other things to do.


she screamed and tore her shirt
and said
it's you who are
the fool.

we've men outside
and they
know what to do.

the queen serene,
but her lover bereaved,
without his head
and rods upon his knees.


my witness is
the one
i said
who judges all he sees.
do what you will,
i fear not you but he.


she called the guards,
helmet, spear, and shield.
swords, greaves, and dogs of
the field.


my lord approached,
his finger to his brow.
hammer, pen, measure, till, and crown.

have mercy on your servant, lord,
you know i'm not to blame.
the queen, she tore
her shirt herselft,
she lays your name to shame.

my servant speaks the truth he said
the queen will have to pay
all israel shall mourn her death today

yes israel shall shed her tears today.
all israel will mourn her death today.


from those who say selah


and so, before we continue,
it should be necessary
to clarify, once again,
who am i, where do i come from?

i come from those who say selah,
that is, pause, and consider.

we are the victims of the usurer, .
we are the blameless ones,
the peacemakers and the children's teachers.

we want to live humbly, peacefully,
and we want to be free.

you may say
you have always been free
and i would reply
i have always been free
but not in my dealings
with the world.

for if caesar's mark is slavery,
freedom is the mark of the almighty.
