BLOOD LINE:The Sins of the Father

BOODLINE :Sins of the Father

 

What sins of the father

Have been visited upon this son

What crime

Transgression

Gone unpaid

What God seeks expiation

In this bloodline

A balance

Violated in Time

 

Unholy lies we live by

Mythical theology

Jeter de la poudre aux yeux

“Through dust in their eyes”

They say

Blind them to their mystery

To their knees in fear

Lord, save us from all anxiety

Until the end of our days

Amen

 

Still

The blood of others runs

Through these veins

Each generation to pay

In crucifixion

Of one kind or another

Neurons. Atoms. Molecules

The Material Soul

"Out damned spot out I say"

Ann of Norway "Out damned spot out I say." Annuccia. P.S. Strong and steely hard like alabaster, stubborn born to die like all of us yet how, yet why. in such degree soon turned to stone in life, why so soon when our good moon has sailed the skies for more than decades, centuries, are you smitten with the inner fire of doom, 'tis all unfair, this life of foul design, that allows the bad float with the good along our very veins, and we cry in vain for solace, trust, and yet we have to give in, we must, we have no choice, no voice of lust, desire, that will lift up our hearts to beat another hour. I looked at your face Longobardolino and I saw this just this moment, after I had posted only the quote from Shakespeare's "Macbeth"( For those who might not know!!!!!!!!) Love from me.
