A message from the Omniverse

 


(A lone voice whispers)


As written in the Greatest Old Book in here


Only found by the select few but I Melak


Will share a few lines from memory just for you 


May the Great Light of Illumination shine and reach all


By reading this 

Who needs it


May it be summoned through these written words 


And reach deep into any weary heart 


To help them find the strength and tenacity to never quit


To lift them up to new self-fulfilling heights 


Away from the many charlatans


Deceivers and Gossips who may surround them


Day or Night 


Blind people with deep pockets filled with unwanted deposits


Who suddenly appear with a burst of thunder


Like a green-eyed Colossus 


To try to muddy the Lord's clear waters


But fear not

They will be cast asunder


For such is the power of the Lord


Be strong 

Not proud


Be kind 

Not mean 


Be the real you


A human being you would like to converse and share stories with



It's how you'll build that bridge you so need to find true happiness


Before all hope disappears


And the Dark Gatekeepers and Toll Bearers to depression


Appear


So now say after me

Oh Great Lord


Provide me and my family


With your Divine protection


And watch and guide our hopes and desires 


With holy direction


Be the gatekeeper to discourage 


Dismay and rejection

Without delay


And protect us from the enemy


Who comes calling 

From the Grey Field 

Of Low Density


Offering gifts

Of such devilish ecstasy


Amen

If Covid Media was a Senryu


If Covid Media was a Senryu

(A lone voice whispers)



Citizens line up 

(5)


Like spellbound blind cash cows 

(7)


Follow our orders

(5)


A senryu must be exactly 3 lines.


Like a Haiku, a senryu must follow the 5-7-5 format:


The first line must have 5 syllables.


The second line must have 7 syllables.


The third line must have 5 syllables.



A senryu focuses on humans and usually contains irony.


It usually focuses on human nature.


It is not written about nature or the seasons.


A senryu does not have to rhyme.


Excess death figures recently released are truly tragic. 


The link to vaccines is undeniable. 


But how can medical practitioners, doctors, nurses, etc. 


Keep administering them with a clear conscious, despite the huge data relating to life-changing injuries, and sudden death. 


Answer. 


Radix malorum est cupiditas

The root of evil is greed

Greed is the root of Evil

  




With vacant empty stares and desolate soul crushing goals


They who love to stand on podiums to talk and preach


Those who'd like to paint the globe in anxious red paint 


Creating drum beats of suspicion to all within their reach


And then instruct mandates

And instructions

That could make a sane man faint 


Pretending they aren't tainted 

Corrupt or even classed as crazy 


But in reality

The masses now wilfully mesmerised and gleefully enrolled


Are just restrained like prisoners in orange jumpsuits

By those they've put in control


Because of this and their devoted followers  


Who through social media 

Feel they can openly criticise 

Whilst on patrol

 

This continuous talk of death and fear 


The threat of shedding so many unfortunate tears


Makes them listen to those issuing instructions even more


But beyond the limitations of all that seemingly hypnotising 

Fear


There is still hope

 

Hope in the divine knowledge 

Of a new freedom


Once we go outside their strict walls and rigid ramblings


Breaking free from their cleverly crafted paradigms 

Linked to isolation and confinement 

War and subjugation 


Trying to mentally imprison all those poor souls listening 


As they read from their new 

Dead Sea Scrolls 


We can each still create a new kingdom of our own


By keeping our faith and looking between the lies


Whilst tearing up labels and testimonies from those corrupted dark trolls


Just following hidden instructions 

From the hidden ghouls 

Who are really in the know


Members of secret societies whose motto is simply  


Money and greed


What they do not know is 

"Radix Malorum Est Cupiditas" 


A Biblical quotation in Latin 
Which means "greed is the root of evil"
 


Will be the mantra of the Devils Men when they come


And all they'll hear when their time is called 


And to 9th Circle 

Be driven by the hell hounds 

As they are recalled


Where they'll suffer into eternally


When their pitiful souls 

Over hot coals are hauled


Keep the faith
Better days are coming your way

Your life has never been just another commodity 


That can be easily bought and sold


If you never agree 
to put it up for sale

Whispers in the Night


There's a tale 

I have to tell


Now I'm dead

To her


And in

The City of Dis

Living in Hell


A love

Which once bloomed


Like a white rose

In every given room


Is now my grave

Inscribed with golden 

Letters 


Mortal Man


You are doomed

To lay restless

In your tomb



Love will no longer visit 

And you are now marked

To always

Miss it


So although

I'm alone


Now rotting in my 

Version of Hell


I'm glad

I got a chance to tell


How love once got me

Under its spell


Then smiled



As I fell through the 

Endless depths and old

Portals


Of its Dystopian Hell


With my soul 

Crying

As I entered


The New Genesis

Of being Immortal

Angel


 Candles lit

In brazier pit


Music playing 

As offerings 


Lay 

Burning


Guardians in

The Great In-Between


Guard us

And our kin

From all unseen


Yellow lights

Bound

Around our homes


To guard against ghouls

From loosened tombs


We pray

For astral protection 

In all our rooms


As 

Candles lit


In brazier pits

Burn


With

Music playing 


As 

Sandalwood

Offerings


Used for devotional  

Angelic magic


Lay 

Burning


We call to you

For protection


As the

Great Wheel

Keeps turning 


Amen

The Song of Argento


Press play before reading. 

Salute.



With your last breath

Of the midnight hour


Will you hear 

The musical call


From my Bacchic 

Celebration towers 


Will you join my 

Unashamed company 

Going past


To a new world

Of neverending pleasures

That will forever last


Where sensuous music 

With wild voices


Will put your soul 

At risk

With its seductive noises


Make your Fate 

Close its ivory gates

Forever


No longer to lament

But to courageously 


Welcome me

In


To pitch my tent


With my powers of enchantment and pleasure 

As my kin


That will seem 

Heaven sent


To those that

Seek love

And intimate sin


A contradiction 

Of above and below


For I know

When all lascivious

Tensions must go


So shed your hubris and pomposity


As you 

To me


Are led


The Golden Goddess of all

Exiles


To a place

Where purple butterflies

Die


So

With your last breath

In this midnight hour


Will you hear 

The musical call


From my Bacchic 

Celebration towers 


With this poetic 

First Kiss

 

And join my 

Unashamed company 


Going

To new worlds


Of neverending pleasures

That will forever last


Where sensuous music 

Sung with wild voices


Will put your soul 

At risk


With its seductive noises


And make your Fate 

Close its own


Ivory gates

Forever


No longer to lament

But courageously


Welcome me

In


To pitch my tent


With powers of enchantment and pleasures

That will seem 

Heaven sent


A contradiction 

Of above and below


For I know

Where all your lascivious

Tensions can go 


So shed your hubris and pomposity


As you 

To me

Are led


The Golden Goddess 

Of all Exiles


Living in the 

Great In-Between


A place

Where purple butterflies

Die


As tattooed souls

Wallow and cry


Come to me

Come to me

Darkness & Light

Darkness & Light


In these dark times 

Keep your faith



As

Some Antenoraians


In hidden

Silence


Gather to

Pray for violence


In uneven lines


With Caiphas

The dark priest


In the Lost City of Dis

In The Far East


For the world

To taste


A Malebolge sour kiss


The Sowers of Scandal 

As their many 

Followers


Of the Three-Headed Beast


Soon to be

Living by The Great Lake of Cocytus


The gateway to a soulless Judecca


The dark wells of fire and ice


To be with their God

Who pays with cursed gold


In the form of all you desire


Only to entrap those into sin


To burn in the eternal fire

As the Great Battle

Continues 


Into eternity


As angels

Of Light


Led by Archangel Michael   


Slowly 

Win


In long nights


Keep your faith

As the Darkness

Crusades


Will soon

Fade

Ode to Inferno

Poem by Dante Alighieri.

Memories

 


Love

Doesn't greave


Even if it ends

In tears


As one leaves


Love

Doesn't greave


For once


Willingly

Received


It just hides

To come out at dusk


Called to play by

Our emotions



Voices and memories

Of ones


We once loved

With trust


So you see

Love

Doesn't greave

 

That's why 

Like a rare diamond


My memories of you

Will never turn to dust

Whispers




 Mesmerised


As my generational powers

Show me you
In vivid lucid dreams

Not where
You've been
Or things you've seen

But you
Alas now absent

And as I lie down lonely
And broken
 
In here
Thinking of your absence

In The Great In-Between

No longer to lay 
Speak with 
Or hold thee

In my gifted dreams 
When I see thee

I know my candle still burns 

Somewhere
In you 

As it burns
Within me
As I move around 

For what powerful thing can ever be found 

To burn you alive

What thing
That has it's own sound and ministry

Than a deep dream
Of a spiritual bond 

Beyond 
Infinity

Or the shelf life of uranium-235
That thrives

As it slips into high gears
In The Great In-Between

And makes your soul
Vibrate in familiar frequencies

Ending in a heart-stopping crescendo

As your emotional tears
Enters
Hyperdrive

Are you awake yet? The Lockdown Years.


The last few years were so interesting.

Mandates after mandates.

Restrictions and dancing medical staff.

Companies providing poor corrupt services at a great cost.


Title:

Are you awake yet? The Lockdown Years. 


(A lone voice whispers)



Is it nearly past the first week of October in 2023


And have all those invisible tears

 Linked to emotional streams


Started falling again

Overwhelming you

 

Are you relieved from leaving 

All those sad covid days 

Gone past 


That seemed to forever 

Linger and last 


Like an unwanted preacher

Who's a religious outcast 


Is it mysteriously silent 

Before the Wild Hunt begins 


And do the freeways 

Beneath your shadowy bedroom window sills 


Chime with the sounds 

Of the hounds of the Baskervilles

Roaming the metaphorical Berkshire foothills


Crying aloud 


Sending out echoes 

Of a sense of impending doom 

Subjugating that very small bedroom 


Does the scent of a new escape 

From that old oblivion of 2022


Haunt and follow you

Like a ghoul 

Covered in pagan impressions


Magical Symbols of The Great Work 


Only known about through 

Absolution and confession 


Old feelings of Hell 

Been dissolved by all your five senses 

In each second 


As they fight for their own liberating rights 

Of succession 


Rounding up calls for a new rebirth 


Invoked in prayers 

Sent up to Heaven 


Do you still dream of enjoying your old freedoms

Which are now deemed by those sitting up high in society 


As forbidden


A sacred place 

Where those wild untameable horses 


Of your innermost obsessions and yearnings 

Can be openly ridden


Into a new ever-expanding kingdom 

As you pray for divine salvation 


And a new altar to build upon


What says you



Will you sit back and blindly 

Capitulate


Or open your eyes


To see corruption and lies

To march 

Fight back against oppression and dictatorship


And retaliate
