When we turn on our own, and molest, rape, torture or kill, we act atrociously,
And as a consequence, join the despicable ranks of the foes of humanity.
Rather than being a protector, an upholder of good, we become a predator,
Just another shadowy figure that lies in wait along life’s perilous corridor.
Yes, we’ve sunk, sold out, betrayed, pillaged, savaged, added to the mountain of misery,
Be it as a lone wolf, or midst a pack, be it planned or opportunistically.
We’ve entered the realm of evil, the territory of those whose hearts and minds are ill,
Those who prey on the innocent and vulnerable, abusing their rights, sacking their will.
We’ve become another one of those cowardly monsters who act so devilishly,
And who often work behind the scenes plotting and planning, striking unsuspectingly.
And such could be a neighbour, a workmate, a friend, even a member of our family,
For life’s full of surprises, of which so many living victims can testify.
When we turn on our own, as so many do, we display the worst in humanity,
And so do those ones who feed off such monsters, skulking in the background expectantly.
Yes, hyenas and jackals, vultures who benefit in some way, and who blame must share,
Along with those who stand idly by when they could prevent such, or those who clap and cheer.
Perhaps we don’t turn on our own and molest, rape, torture or kill, but turn on them we do
Whenever we treat them unkindly, and at their expense, just self interest pursue.
Thus, we in a sense, and as little monsters perhaps, become foes of humanity,
Assaulting via the likes of slander, anger, racism, indifference, bigotry, adultery….
And the list goes on, for there are many ways in which we injure, (and terribly too),
And some of them maybe not intentionally so, but injure, they certainly do.
Yes, just like those who molest, rape, torture and kill, we too, oft leave behind misery,
And thereby, directly or indirectly, multiply the foes of humanity.
Thus, we’re hardly blameless, and yet, look at how we point the finger so furiously,
Slamming those who molest, rape, torture or kill, and who thereby disgrace humanity.
Sure they deserve such condemnation, but given the wrong things that we do, so do we,
For we, via our lesser assaults on others, show we’re also foes of humanity.
Yes, because we too, via such, are turning on our own.

Our Little Secret
Are psychopaths born so, injured later, or made? And then there’s heredity,
By that I mean, who knows what’s handed down via one’s genes, (lying dormant, maybe).
Yes, it’s the chicken or the egg scenario, and there are those triggers too,
Which circumstances and background sees some mother’s grownup child going askew.
I guess there’re clues, but who picks them up? Though I guess some might wonder, or predict,
But generally, when such folk are exposed, it’s a case of, “We didn’t suspect.”
Seemingly normal, but not so, for something tragic has occurred within their mind,
(And no doubt their heart) — and too late, the sad results of that disturbance are seen.
Who knows what’s going on beneath the surface, where the sinister, one can’t see,
Those ominous thoughts and feelings that come to fruition eventually.
And who knows what feeds such thoughts and feelings, though I’m sure that one could speculate,
Given the ghoulish, violent, weird, and pornographic that folk now tolerate.
So who might be a psychopath?
Your child? My child? You? Me? For who really knows, given that we all think we’re sound?
And in the main, perhaps we are, but not some of us, whose psychosis in time is found.
Plus, there’re various shades, types, and these latter folk quite prolific, it would seem,
For not just certified psychopaths carry out callous acts, and wickedly scheme.
So tell me, what’s in a label? Is such simply how we define the very worst?
Those who within the shadowy recesses of their mind some ill have rehearsed?
Those who coldly scheme, manipulate, hurt, force, cruelly injure — unfeelingly?
Oh dear, sounds somewhat like most of us, I fear — but hey, let’s keep that quiet, shall we?

Conspiracy Theories
There are those people who via their naivety, are very quick to dismiss any conspiracy theory,
Seemingly unable to comprehend that the world is awash with those who are plotting very evilly.
And hence why whistle blowers are often just ridiculed, but have you noticed how many of them disappear?
That is, mysteriously, or end up in some mortuary, and as to how they died, is often unclear.
It’s clear that those who’re involved in evil plotting, or assassination, will rubbish conspiracy theories,
Or where it suits, even create one that’s a red herring, and amidst that distraction, something attempt or seize.
But for some reason, those whose naivety is even irresponsible, fail to see this reality,
And thus indirectly aid and abet those who the whistle blowers warn of via some conspiracy theory.
While some conspiracy theories are mere fiction, others contain elements of truth, truth worth picking up on,
For once dismissed, or not kept a note of, such is easily lost, and not easy to again get one’s hands on.
And often it’s only by gathering a little here and there that we discover the truth of the matter,
Which in many cases, that naivety that’s oft only worthy of contempt, would very quickly shatter.
And hence why we shouldn’t put too much faith in men, regardless of their position or seeming integrity,
For those with great evil in mind, have often hidden behind organisations and pretended piety.
After all, that’s the nature of conmen, and their preferred modus operandi, which many folk oft ensnares,
And which is also oft found in such theories, and why we need to have very informed and attuned eyes and ears.
Yes, some conspiracy theories are right on the money.

I Love America
(But not some things I'm seeing)
There’re so many good Americans, (Christian and non-Christian), and good folk who’ve made America their country,
Yes, peace loving, law abiding, principled, caring people who dearly value freedom and liberty,
And who aren’t raging liberals nor religious zealots, but rather, tolerant, open-minded and fair,
Though not to the point of foolishness, and who’re thus prepared to stand up and speak out, their vision true and clear.
Such Americans love their family, home and country, and respect those offshore who love their own country too,
Patriotism not getting in the way of sound judgment, for there’s no wisdom in those who war pursue,
And nor in those who want to tether Church and State, for it’s that separation that has made America great,
A land where civil and religious liberty has shone like a beacon, and hence their loss would seal its fate.
And where to then? And that’s what I’m afraid of…
For you can’t beat good American people, and there is so much about America to like, but hey,
Something’s going on that all Americans need to do something about, for things have gone badly astray.
And hence why they can’t afford to hide their dirty laundry, nor think things couldn’t happen in America —
Whatever those things may be — and hence why they shouldn’t leave any stone unturned, for blindness never gets one far.
Yes, be it decay or behind the scenes activity, such needs dealing with, ferreting out, and quickly,
For that which is left too late often seals one’s fate, and here, such could mean the loss of freedom and liberty,
And for what? — given that there’s absolutely nothing worth exchanging for such, and who’d be careless with such?
For that’s how others have suffered, stealth evilly entering some door, seeking what it had no right to clutch.
And so it goes, which is why we all need to be on guard, for things have indeed changed worldwide, tragically,
Though America is where it’s all at — the Statute of Liberty confirming my point — land of the free!
And hence why the world is watching with concern those changes that are taking place within America,
For no other country has the same clout and influence — for better or worse — and here we are...
And where tomorrow?

9/11 Ponderings
Brent looked at his father enquiringly. “Do you think 9/11 was an inside job — some skulduggery?”
“Well, son, there are certainly those who say so, and they’ve put forth a degree of evidence, interestingly.
But I wouldn’t like to think so, son, and more so being an American, for how could any of us act so,
Unless our allegiance was to someone else, or we, masquerading as an American — a disguised foe?”
Brent stopped chewing his lip. “Do you think we should just dismiss such, Dad, given that it seems pretty far fetched, really?
And I suspect that those Americans who're claiming that such was an inside job are in the minority.”
“No, it doesn’t pay to dismiss anything, son, no matter how oddball it seems, for life’s full of surprises,
And at the end of the day, enemies often work from within, and they can come in all kinds of disguises.”
“Why should we think that such couldn’t happen in America, and wouldn’t we be at greater risk thinking so?
For we’d hardly be watching — so sure of ourselves, as it were — and thus more susceptible to some stealthy foe.
Remember the wooden horse of Troy? Is it possible that we’ve let one in of a different nature, somehow,
So utterly convinced that such couldn’t happen, and not daring to think that Americans such would allow?”
“After all, behind the scenes activity has been going on in our country since its founding, sad to say,
Which historical and contemporary books and articles, and very informative websites, convey.
And hence why I’m never too dismissive of things, son — and besides, it’s clear that there’s something going on out there,
And given how evil’s oft wrapped to attract, and how whistle-blowers are attacked, we may well have cause for fear.”
“Yes, those who’re up to something, son, hardly say so, and when caught out, oft deny such, and talk of conspiracies,
All of which is why we need to do our homework, for only one who’s vigilant and informed the truth then sees.
And sometimes, son, we have to fill in the pieces, having only been able to discover so much, and then
One’s often up against the don’t-want-to-know brigade, as well as the cynics, quick with their voice or disputing pen.”
“No country-cum-government is beyond any foul play, son — one only has to look at America’s past:
Assassinated presidents, slavery, apartheid, the Ku Klux Klan, and there’re other things that one could unmask.”
“Like what, Dad?” “Well, didn’t Abe Lincoln warn of Jesuits at work? * — classing them as America’s greatest threat,
And then there has been the likes of freemasonry, its secret symbols on our money, and elsewhere, don’t forget.”
“Yes, we’ve certainly no reason for feeling relaxed about things, son, and bear in mind that things have gotten worse,
And given our forays into other countries, illegal or not, there are those who America even curse.
Yes, one could say that we’ve created enemies, son, let alone traitors and any inside job, possibly,
And why I wouldn’t go dismissing this or that, for who knows?” “Thanks, Dad. That sounds like pretty good advice to me.”

As Bad As Our Enemy
Mark looked up from reading the newspaper, disgust written all over his youthful face.
He glanced at his dad who was enjoying the heat that was coming from the old fireplace.
“What do you make of those things those soldiers did in Iraq, Dad, of which the world now knows?”
“Are you referring to the mistreatment of prisoners, son?” “Yes, Dad, and those photos.”
“Well, son, one could say that such is the dark side of patriotism, tragically,
Given that patriotism’s often just another word for hate and bigotry.
Some people are so blinded by such, son, that they can’t seem to see beyond their own shores,
Which is why anything goes when it comes to war, and more so those wrongly driven wars.”
“At the end of the day, such shows the true character of those who carried out such things,
For there is no getting away from the fact, that from one’s heart and mind, such evil springs.
Yes, people can point to this and that, blame those above them, even say they were forced to,
But you won’t see anyone doing such things where their heart and mind is loving and true.”
“Yes, once we cross a certain boundary, we’re no better than devils, effectively,
And those who've distorted religious convictions, even worse devils, undoubtedly.
Hence why many commit atrocities in God’s name, and in patriotism’s too,
For often the two are linked, along with personal hang-ups — a very nasty brew!”
“And hence the likes of those inflammatory photo shots, that even sense would not take,
Which violated every code of human decency, and which only fools would break.
But oh, how some love to flaunt their evil, thus showing folk back home how revenge is sweet;
Images of hatred and a perverted sense of justice — that just contempt should meet.”
“Yes, I wonder how many secretly applauded — accomplices, effectively,
Shackled by their patriotic fever, and a militant religiosity.
Yes, deluded, short-sighted, and bitter souls, who bring just as much shame upon their country,
And who fail to see beyond their own shores — are lacking in love for all humanity.”
“How do folk end up this way, Dad?” “Well, son, many things contribute to such a sickness,
But at the end of the day, everyone has a choice, and should mind those things they profess,
For when we take the moral high ground, and then behave just as bad as our enemy,
We're even worse, and are under a much greater curse, for we know far better, don’t we?”
By Lance Landall
Calling It As It Is
Now please don’t go getting me wrong, for I’m not out to knock America, for much wrong exists in every country,
But what I would like to do here is, provide a degree of missing balance, which I believe is necessary.
Why? Because so often patriotism is misplaced, and even a terribly bad thing, to be honest,
And why when it comes to wars, citizens shouldn’t be in too big a hurry to support such, and nor to enlist.
Too often, those who are claiming some superiority, be such moral or otherwise, are just as guilty,
That is, they’re equally as errant and hypocritical, or at least, far from squeaky-clean — yes, far from saintly.
And so it is with America, who regularly has patted herself on the back, rather self righteously,
When the truth of the matter is, that America has a pretty murky, violent and chequered history.
And lest it be that you doubt, let me bring just a few of these evils to your attention, beginning with slavery,
And the shocking mistreatment of indigenous tribes, and then there’s the likes of the Ku Klux Klan, white supremacy,
Apartheid, mobsters, corporate crime, the secret workings of freemasonry, warned of Jesuit activity,*
And sad to say, given America’s roots, that terrible militant bigoted right-wing Christianity.
And oh, how the world’s been corrupted via Hollywood, and the health of many injured via the likes of Burger King,
Kentucky Fried Chicken and McDonalds, and other such unhealthy fast-food outlets with a familiar ring.
Thus, despite any good that America has done, it has also been responsible for many ills of the day,
And behind all the patriotic fanfare, and the Statue of Liberty, there’s a shadow government, some say...
(and if that's so, I would suspect one that's worldwide, at the end of the day).
Now such wouldn’t be so bad if these ills were in the past, but such isn’t so, for much remains, unfortunately,
And America still seems trapped in an unhealthy patriotism — yes, more like a fever, actually.
And hence those preventable forays into other countries, fuelled by misinformation, self-interest and fear,
Yes, that hysteria, which is aiding the loss of liberties that Americans once enjoyed, but now less share.
But such seems lost on many, who can’t seem to see where their country is heading, thinking that it’s still on the right track,
But like so many other countries, its moral compass, and original foundation, have developed a crack.
Yes, one that is much cause for alarm, and hence why it’s heading those calls for a New World Order, (the path of folly),
Or as many folk believe, an engineered takeover of Earth — and behind it, currently disguised treachery.
Most don’t seem to realise that you can’t legislate a harmonious peaceful world, for such is a heart and mind thing,
And such can only be so where there is total freedom and liberty, and to such, we should tenaciously cling.
Thus, such can only be achieved where there is less governmental control, not more, and hence why things aren’t looking good,
For whatever spin is put on such, New World Orders will work against, rather than for, true sister and brotherhood.
Yes, when foxes guard the hen house.

"The U.S. is a cosmetic democracy."
John Pilger, Australian journalist
* "I see a very dark cloud on our horizon. And that dark cloud is coming from Rome."
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
Regarding Rome: Check out the quotes under the following poem.
Question: Why is America seriously restricting liberties at home whilst supporting lawlessness and uprisings elsewhere?
The New World Order
It’s all about worship — the hidden worship of man.
Julie loved chatting with her dad, and today was no exception, though her thoughts were much more serious today.
“What do you make of the New Word Order thing, Dad? Is it just some farcical theory like many people say?”
“No, Julie, it’s for real alright. Even the pope and some U.S. presidents have endorsed such, and others too,
Thus, such is clearly on the agenda — however, a One World Government is hardly something that is new.”
“And lest I’m confusing you, here — they’re both one and the same thing — an order seeking control of humanity,
Not that such is said openly, but there is plenty of evidence proving so, and then there is history.”
“What do you mean by history, Dad?” “Well, many have had their eyes on the world, and not just on other nations,
The Holy Roman Empire for one, which ruled for hundreds of years, and committed atrocious violations.”
“And hence the concern of many given that the pope has been calling for a New World Order quite recently,
One that he said needs to be backed by an armed force, by the way — and I hear he’s put his hand up somehow, interestingly.
At the end of the day, the Holy Roman Empire that once was, still is, despite it appearing more benign,
And that’s when something can be far more dangerous, given that it’s less obvious, and thus folk think all’s fine.”
“Evidence says that the pope’s just a figurehead, subservient to the commander of the Jesuit Order,
One created to reverse the Protestant Reformation via infiltration, and via crossing any boarder.
One that’s also intent on destroying the U.S. constitution, it’s said — and haven’t we noticed such?
For laws like the Patriot Act have made it much easier for inside forces to evilly liberty clutch.”
“Bear in mind that more and more Protestants are making overtures to Rome, and that the Vatican wields much clout,
And, by the way, has an intelligence service second to none, secret agents that its wishes carry out.
Thus, we’re not talking about imaginary things, dealing with fantasy, but in facts and reality,
And hence that concern many have, a concern that many Christians even link to some biblical prophecy.”
“Others are fuelling this New World Order too, some secretly, some openly — different beats, but the same drum,
And some are bedfellows — among them, Freemasonry being a major player — yes, all propelling what will come.
But despite them achieving their goal, I believe that Divine justice will have the last say, but not before much ill,
Which will catch the gullible by surprise, come those who fall for the spiel, and who willingly come under its spell.”
“So, I’d keep your eyes on things, Julie, watching for some political, religious merger, and set aside day,
One universally accepted and legislated as being in the interests of all — no doubt Sunday.
The truth is, we’re all being set up, hence certain political manoeuvres, behind the scenes manipulation,
As one thing’s for sure, such will be enforced whether we like it or not — the proof that it’s an evil creation.”
“What exactly do you mean by proof, Dad?” “Well, I’m referring to force, Julie, which is always a clear-cut sign,
For no matter how noble the intent of anyone, force is contradictory, and clearly out of line.
Those with genuine hearts and minds, come those who cherish love and truth, never violate human rights, nor think to,
For only the deluded, those with an evil agenda, those who’re callous and indifferent, such pursue.”
“You see, when we use force to implement what we think is best for all, we cross a non-negotiable line,
A critical line — thereby leaving no line — and where there’s no such line, things can only but from thereon decline.
It’s that simple, Julie, hence why I couldn’t condone a New World Order, for such wouldn’t let us vote with our feet,
And that which wouldn't allow such, and having crossed that non-negotiable line, inevitably would mistreat.”
“And
when there’re strange bedfellows pushing for the same thing, though
each for their own end, of which one must come out on top,
There just has to be an eventual evil outcome — one that all the will in the world won’t be able to stop.
That is, turnaround, for the jaws of the new “beast” will have all firmly in its grip, they no longer free to do and say,
And all because they went along with such, perhaps even hollered for such, when they should’ve known such wouldn’t pay.”

"I see a very dark cloud on our horizon. And that dark cloud is coming from Rome."
Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)
"For
over 200 years, the goal [of the Jesuits] has been the complete
destruction of the United States Constitution. In the religious arena,
the goal of the Jesuits is to wipe out any trace of Protestantism and
other religions, and to restore worldwide domination by the pope."
Bill Hughes (From his book The Secret Terrorists)
It's interesting to note how dramatically Protestantism has changed.
"Moreover,
the pope has thousands of secret agents worldwide. They include
Jesuits, the Knights of Columbus, Knights of Malta, Opus Dei, and
others. The Vatican's Intelligence Service and its field resources are
second to none."
Dave Hunt, Amercan Baptist Historian
Regarding the book "The Transformation of the Republic" by C.T. Wilcox (2003) --
"An
expose of Vatican and Jesuit intrigues and interference into the
political structure of the United States and Europe. It contains
shocking revelations and fully authenticated documentation, much of it
hidden for almost 100 years, to support the conclusion that the United
States has been transformed from a beacon of light and hope into an
empire with beast-like tendencies and that the world is headed for a
Vatican led and instigated cataclysm while it sleepwalks towards the
edge."
And from the same book --
"The
Jesuit Order is an association of highly organized warrior priests.
They are politicians first and foremost and have been expelled from
virtually every country they have had the opportunity to corrupt and
destroy. Their modus operandi is political and educational infiltration
and subversion and the fomenting of wars and revolutions in order to
weaken and mold the target country into submissive pliability, to then
be used to carry out their purpose of global ecclesiastically backed
dictatorship. The United States is no exception to this."
"If
you trace up Masonry, through all its Orders, till you come to the
grand tip-top head Mason of the World, you will discover that the dread
individual and the Chief of the Society of Jesus [the Superior General
of the Jesuit Order] are one and the same person.”
James Parton, American historian
"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."
Sinclair Lewis (1885-1951)
"There
is a de facto “secret government” operating nationally and
internationally and involved in the highest circles of the U.S.
government, exercising an impact over domestic policies and economics
ranging between extreme influence to, at times, outright control. This
extreme influence to outright control naturally includes the
Presidency."
Mike Culbert
"Already
the high priests, prayers and temples of the universal cult are with
us. Curriculums are being drafted to indoctrinate our children in what
John Rockefeller, Jr. calls “The Church of all People.”…The first step
is to break down loyalty to a single religious faith…"
(Edith Kermit Roosevelt, First Lady of the U.S., 1901-1909)

The Hollywood Agenda
Exactly who’s behind Hollywood is another story, but believe me, one thing is becoming clear,
And that is, that what Hollywood’s churning out is no mere accident, but rather, designed in order to steer.
In other words, we’re talking about a calculated attempt to manipulate society,
And this, in preparation for something, something that’s trying to get at our minds, and very cunningly.
Yes, the Hollywood agenda, which aside from its usual diet of sex, violence and crudity,
Is now furiously pumping out movies that promote and enthrone the occult, and this, lucratively.
Hence the growing interest these days in anything supernatural-cum-mystical, even bizarre,
And why we seem to be heading back to those dark old days of pagan ill, seeking some kind of Shangri-la.
And seemingly one that will allow us to indulge in any selfish and wanton gratification,
Midst playing with the dangerous, mysterious and demonic — hence today’s sicker crime escalation.
And no surprises here, for look at the blood and gore-cum-ghoulish-cum-porn, snuff movies that abound today,
Such corrupting, soiling, weakening and destroying minds and hearts, and we wonder why things have gone astray.
And as I said, there’s clearly an agenda, one that’s preparing us for something that will fool and mislead,
And I suspect such being a New World Order that’s surrounded by the supernatural — ill guaranteed.
Yes, a one world government that clever trickery precedes, humanity having been prepared for such,
Courtesy of the likes of Hollywood’s agenda, and why soon some power will have all within its clutch.
I’m dreaming? Well, bearing in mind that Hollywood’s agenda encompasses what’s religious and New Age,
A religious, political worldwide power isn’t that farfetched, one that certain signs and wonders will stage.
And given how many are being taken in by certain apparitions and manifestations already,
I don’t believe I’m far from wrong, and bearing in mind that such a scene is portrayed biblically.
And hence the likes of the terribly distorted Passion of the Christ, the Twilight and Left Behind series,
Not to mention the Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, just a few of the many so designed to seize.
And oh, how they do, holding millions spellbound with their religious, New Age, occult mixture that educates,
And why sound knowledge-cum-truth is giving way to fiction-cum-fantasy that wrong and error propagates.
So no, what Hollywood's churning out is no mere accident, and nor in order to just gain more money,
But rather, to captivate and prepare society for something on the horizon, and this subtly.
Yes, no coming through the front door — such too obvious — but via the back door, and oh, the power of TV,
Which those with an agenda clearly realise, but which society in general simply fails to see.
By Lance Landall
Man Worshippers
I have never understood how people, (be they just one, thousands or millions), can revere a man like they do,
For no man’s a god, nor can be one, or even come close to one — thus, such adulation simply isn’t due.
At the end of the day, a man is nothing more than a mere man, one who requires the toilet like us all,
A flawed human, who shouldn’t be given some Divine or glorified title — and oh, how often such men fall.
Yes, such reverence is very unhealthy, as it gives a man an even greater platform for doing ill,
For anyone granted such God-like authority, can have others believing they must carry out his will.
In other words, as if God himself is dictating via that person, and therein lies a great danger, you see,
For there is nothing worse than blind faith in another person, especially someone with such authority.
Such adulation is the product of foolishness, come humans who have discarded wisdom and commonsense,
Many having been taught such from childhood, and others misinterpreting the Christian Bible in their defence.
Yes, an inculcated and perpetuated tragedy, one that has seen so much evil done in God’s name,
For such homage simply sees those who are so revered making some pompous, deluded and injurious claim.
Those who put men on such a pedestal, are effectively man worshippers, be those folk pagans or Christians,
The latter clearly taking glory away from their God, whereby, despite their denying such, each thereby sins.
But whether they’re a Christian or not, any such affection and adulation for some man is plain folly,
And something that it seems most of Earth’s inhabitants today, simply haven’t learnt from our bloodied history.
By Lance Landall
Exalt No One
So many people revere or idolize someone, (or more than one), and many of them obsessively so,
Hanging on their every word, copying them, clutching their photo, even dreaming of them — though better should know.
For such is one sure way to end up being led astray, conned, used, or most disappointed, and unsurprisingly,
Given that we’re all so human, so flawed, which includes those who’re revered and idolized so very foolishly.
Many of them are far from squeaky-clean, and are involved in this or that — their private lives another story,
Which, were such known, would see them pulled from their pedestal, upon which they should never have been placed initially.
For after all, all are equal, and of no greater worth, and therefore, not deserving of such exaltation,
And such revering and idolizing, (which is a form of worship), being more worthy of one's condemnation.
So many who strut the stage; appear in movies; officially on T.V.; or before some congregation,
Are involved in the unsavoury, criminal, or immoral, and who knows what other selfish violation.
Hence those falls from grace so often heard of, read about, and even seen — proof we shouldn’t revere or idolize,
For such is the territory of fools, who their naivety, immaturity, or ignorance advertise.
Yes, no matter how godly someone appears, no matter how squeaky-clean they may look, or how high up the scale,
They’re never worthy of, nor entitled to, any form of worship or pedestal, be they male or female.
And any who think they are, are not only deluded or misinformed, but a danger and possible snare,
And even less deserving of revering and idolising, for their unfitness of such, is more than clear.

Evil On The Wing
(An intriguing tale)
Zantack’s evil gaze meandered over the sea of faces under his control,
Yes, indoctrinated zealots ready to do his bidding, their hearts black as coal.
There they stood, wall to wall, trained to act without questioning, no limits to their ill,
So deluded, puppets on a string effectively, having surrendered their own will.
“Mother” he said, referring to the organization that they’d sworn allegiance to,
“Mother,” he repeated, “Is sensing success, completion, but there’s still work to do.
Therefore, let me remind you of all that you’ve been trained for, prepared and equipped for;
And the reason for this reminder? Such activities you’re to engage in far more.”
“Yes, you’re to up the anti — we’re almost there — then Mother will rule humanity,
And all will kneel before me — Zantack — kiss my hand, submit to my authority.
Once enthroned, no one will be free to do as they wish, no one will enjoy liberty,
For Mother’s reign under me, will leave no room for dissent, nor for democracy.”
Zantack’s evil gaze returned to his notes which he snatched at and waved above his head;
He being a fitting agent of Yantay, mortuary cold, now hostile and red.
Oh, how Yantay, (a spirit being), would be proud of him — Zantack, the devil incarnate,
Instructing his duplicitous slaves, dispensable pawns, vowed to secrecy, tight knit.
“Infiltrate every organization, every society, each religion,
Gaining key positions, unlimited access, thus working covertly within.
Use your influence and authority to further Mother’s aim, achieve her goal,
That being: Worldwide domination, indoctrination, lock-stock-and-barrel control.”
Zantack surveyed the sea of faces again, forehead furrowed, jaw set, chin raised high,
And then, as if he’d not paused, continued on, hatred and fury blazing from each eye.
“Infiltrate the education system, seats of learning, and every media,
Cleverly enlist the help of others who’ve wealth, influence, power and charisma.”
“Infiltrate the armed forces, councils, courts, governments, unions — yes, everything you can,
Always keeping in mind that civil unrest, riots and mayhem are part of the plan.
Scare the population via terrorism, and via warnings of coming attacks,
Yes, bombings and the likes, which unbeknown to them, are often our calculated acts.”
“Such will have them forgoing certain liberties for the sake of security,
And we'll convince them that we’ve the answer, which they’ll accept only too willingly.
Yes, all carefully orchestrated, ensuring things eventually go our way,
Whereby the dictates of Mother, overseen by me, everyone on Earth will obey.”
"Yes, amidst it all, you're to fool the masses, have them thinking that you're on their side,
And that — unfortunately — certain actions are necessary, and justified;
That you're working to illiminate injustice, oppression, war — bring about peace,
Doing all that you can to see that poverty and any suffering decrease."
Yantay, watching from his realm, would make an appearance at some stage, fortuitously,
A dazzling entry, verifying Zantack’s claims and Mother’s rule, advantageously.
But not in his usual form though — no, Yantay would impersonate the Pure One,
Deceiving nigh on all, who would fall for the signs and wonders, the falsehood spun.
Zantack tugged at his black robe. “One ruler, one power, one ideology!” he cried,
And all those present rose together, shouting, “Zantack! Zantack!” and beaming with pride.
He turned and left the stage, leaving behind a sea of salutes from disguised assassins,
Yes, cold blooded killers, who in the name of Zantack, would commit countless bloody sins.
But the Pure One watched too, for He as well, would make an appearance, ultimately,
One far more spectacular, one that would light up the sky, signalling great majesty.
And He would bring an end to Mother, Zantack and Yantay, their evil and misery,
And all who submitted to their beastly rule, thereby giving Yantay the glory.
Glory that belonged to the Pure One, (a spirit being too), for only He was worthy,
Yes, not Yantay, the rebellious one, oft seeking to gain control of humanity.
Yantay, since his expulsion from the Pure One's realm, had been seeking partners in crime,
Partners who'd see that more victims came his way -- and Yantay hoping, all on Earth, this time.
Meantime, despite knowing that most would be hoodwinked by Mother, Zantack and Yantay,
And knowing also, that most would go their own rebellious way, rather than His way,
The Pure One, (and out of love), despatched certain messengers, who, via various means,
Would warn of the cunning, evil, and deadly snare that was afoot, midst Earth's closing scenes.
“Shame so many would be fooled,” mused the Pure One, grieved to think that such would be the case,
But the multitudes have always wandered after delusions, and such, still embrace.
And as a result, don’t see what’s right in front of their noses, nor give things due thought,
Until deep within the web of some Zantack stronghold, they are well and truly caught.

Leave Us Alone!
Yes,
leave us alone, whoever you are, close or far, with your hidden agenda
and certain intent, that’s very far from Heaven sent, thought often
made to look so, but which in our bones we know, simply seeks to harm
and destroy, hence those crooked means you employ, and that camouflage,
or sidetracking decoy — yes, the cunning, the devising, all hardly
surprising, for you’re not our friend but our foe.
You hide
behind an institution, an organisation, some benign association, a
secret society, or simply some authority, perhaps dressed in your
finery, educated intellectually, and plotting and planning, covertly
listening and scanning, directing each willing puppet, manipulating
each pawn, using their weaponry, expertise or brawn, thus seeking to
gain control, even of society as a whole, and where you can, or via
some middleman, you flatter and fool many men, who via their clout or
legislative pen, willingly or ignorantly aid and back your clever spiel
and plan.
Yes, leave us alone, whoever you are, religious or otherwise, though
often in disguise, for you don’t like inspection, correction nor
detection, given you’re into error and deception, and oh, how deluded
you are, for all you do is wound and scar, deprive of rights and
liberty, midst proclaiming you’re no enemy, and that it’s all a
misconception.
Yes, leave us alone, whoever you are, for you discredit exposers, do
away with opposers, laugh at conspiracies, whilst in them up to your
knees, and whilst withholding information, removing from circulation,
forcing co-operation, defending some violation, even annihilation — for
ultimately, you do as you please, and all and sundry seize, for your
exploitation.
Yes, leave us alone, whoever you are, wherever you are, with your heart
of stone, for you’ve no right to treat us so, nor to ignore and violate
our “No,” be it via a majority, a powerful minority, some pious
priority, for you’re not our friend but our foe.

It's Our World
Dear
fellow traveller, amidst the billions on this Earth — I’ve a message I
wish to share, given your inheritance by birth, and your existing
presence here.
This
planet is yours and mine, it doesn’t belong solely to kings or queens,
popes or presidents, prime ministers in residence, nor any government;
even power or society behind the scenes, but rather, to us, the people
— yes, not someone on a throne, behind an official desk, or
ecclesiastically ensconced under some steeple.
No
disrespect is intended here, but only the clear recognition, that this
Earth belongs to humanity, you and I — in other words, us, we — not
solely to those in power, regardless of their position, regardless of
their authority, and including any majority, for humanity is also the
minority, given that we’re all linked genetically, historically, and
universally, and given that such is acting humanely, quite honestly.
Though
rightful laws and order have their place, no one should seek to conquer
and rule the human race, and all who would seek to do so, by stealth,
legislation or might, wouldn’t have justification, would be lovers of
darkness rather than light, who though pretending otherwise, would
ultimately catch by surprise, thus displaying their true face.
Yes,
this planet belongs to you and I, who likewise, pressure or force
cannot justify, (despite how much we might try), for the birthright of
all is freedom and liberty, (be that civil or religiously), the right
to be left alone to live in peace and harmony, to be free from the evil
plots, plans and tentacles of tyranny, and not to mention, the right to
have access to every necessity.
Yes,
we weren’t meant to be controlled, bought or sold, trampled on,
sneeringly looked upon, coldly mistreated, shackled, persecuted or
defeated, somehow abused, indifferently used, played with like
marionettes, gathered together in plotter’s nets, nor considered as if
just a clone, for we’ve a brain, a heart, a dream, a path, a life and
purpose of our own, and were born to love not hate, and to goodness,
mercy and kindness radiate, for such always works for the best,
ensuring that all are blest, whereas hate just destroys, and all manner
of evil employs, for it’s tied to lust and power, seeks to overthrow
not empower, and all the while, oft hiding behind a smile, (which given
time, quickly turns sour).
Though
we’re humanity, we’re not some herd to be rounded up, processed and
programmed physically, mentally or emotionally, nor were we meant to be
serfs at the beck and call of bureaucracy, but rather, are individuals
in our own right, little worlds of our own, with corresponding patents
and copyright.
Yes,
it’s our world, not the possession of a group, a majority, nor some
man, who, were these given control — that is, of the world as a whole —
would prove a threat to all, and eventually, flames of trouble just fan.

In God's Name? Rubbish!
Those
— who in God’s name — persecute, imprison, torture or kill — in other
words, intentionally wound and another’s blood spill — are only
Christian in name; yes, abusers and murderers who some right wrongly claim,
and who both God and Christianity shame, for despite what they say, or
how such they might portray, there’s no blessing in thuggery, coercion or
secrecy, but rather, a curse, and even worse, a horrid end, for
justice is sure to descend, ultimately and deservedly.
No
one — let me repeat — NO ONE — can justify such evil acts, and oh, how
such evil-doers distort the facts, oft twisting the Bible to suit their
ends, but hey, what evil-doer, truth really comprehends, or for that matter,
compassion or mercy extends? — No, for they have their agenda, a common
hallmark of the offender, who, oft hiding behind some pious crusade, or
other, equally as renegade, and also man-made, treads on what's good, right
and true, in order to foolishly pursue, some goal that’s wanting and
weighed, and which all who’ve sense and decency, know has never paid.
Oh
yes, behind that pearly smile, (more akin to a crocodile), those
carefully chosen words, (oft as far from truth as the birds), and their sincere
sounding intention, is often malice too
cruel to mention, BUT, even should they be sincere, one thing is
certainly clear: Ill-treatment isn’t godly, but rather, a devilish invention,
and those who act so misguidedly, (or intentionally), are seriously
lacking in decency, discernment and comprehension, and so often are
nothing but puppets and pawns, or until the truth dawns, and by then
it’s usually too late, and they, rightfully share the same fate, for no
one can justify ill-treating another, and more so an innocent sister or
brother; but when all’s said and done, be it via word, hand or gun,
everyone such behaviour should shun.
Yes,
whether a Christian or not so, such behaviour is nothing other than low, and
those who perpetuate such wrong, are nothing but cowards, morally weak
rather than strong, and who despite their saying otherwise, their
sell-out to forces of evil advertise, for their acts and the Bible they
profess to uphold, (hypocritically and thus offensively bold), simply don't
harmonise.
Yes, given that the God they supposedly serve, "Came not to destroy but save," what a nerve!
In God’s name? Rubbish!
By Lance Landall
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully
as when they do it with religious conviction."
Blaise Pascal
(1623-1662)
"Christendom
is not the same as Christianity, as the Danish theologian and
philosopher Kierkegaard pointed out. Christendom's violence was not
Christian, for the simple reason that it was diametrically opposed to
what Christ himself taught. People who engage in violent and cruel
activities at any time, in Northern Ireland or the Balkans or anywhere
else, while invoking the name of God, are certainly not obeying Christ
when they do so, whatever they may say to the contrary. After all, the
name "Christian" means a disciple or follower of Jesus Christ.
Following Christ means obeying his commandments. And one of those
commands was the explicit prohibition of the use of force to defend
Christ or his message. That command has been very well known since it
was issued at a point of high tension in the Gospel narrative, the
arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Jesus taught his
followers not to hate their enemies but to love them; and he acted
accordingly when the armed crowd came with Judas to the Garden of
Gethsemane to arrest him. In that historic encounter he specifically
forbade his disciples to use violence. Jesus rebuked one of his
disciples, Peter, who, untrained in swordsmanship, swung wildly with
his sword and cut off the ear of the High Priest's servant, Malchus.
"Put your sword back into its place," Jesus said, "for all who take the
sword will perish by the sword" (Matt 26:52, ESV). He could not have
made it more plain. To take the sword, gun, or bomb in Christ's name is
to repudiate both Christ and his message. He will have none of it.
Gunning for God, in the sense of taking a weapon into one's hands on
God's behalf, is a contradiction of and an affront to the Christian
message."
From the book "Gunning For God" by John C. Lennox
Don't Stop Judging!
“You
shouldn’t judge,” they say indignantly, which is clearly an absurdity,
for anyone who ceases to, soon sees things going askew, and is it any
surprise, for the cost of one’s demise, is often failure to weigh —
in other words, not commonsense display, or lest you think I’m fudging,
I'm talking about JUDGING!
Oh
yes, how we need to weigh what folk are doing or saying, for when we
don’t, that’s how we can end up straying, and ignorance can’t claim, nor on
others place some blame, for if such we haven’t weighed, what a
huge blunder we’ve made, for we’ve been given a brain, one designed
to spare us pain, but only when we actually use it, and in judgment
regularly sit, rather than choosing to abstain.
Yes,
whatever you do, (and this includes me too), don’t stop judging — just
make sure you do so correctly, and that is, without bias, not self-righteously, but impartially,
objectively, and thus with an inner sense of your own fallibility, (our flawed
humanity), thus acting thoughtfully, fairly and compassionately, and minding any
hypocrisy, though such still shouldn’t stop you, given that commonsense
never goes askew, when weighing what others say and do.
To
put it another way, it’s our duty, and more so if we've a wife and
family, for such demands responsibility and accountability, weighing what might affect
them injuriously, which means observing and pondering, checking and researching, lest
via not doing so, trouble duly spring.
And
where others are acting wrongly, we may even need to approach them --
that is, in order to warn and spare, (never to condemn), for love cares
enough to do so, and clearly knows that here also, duty one must never
forgo, lest those we cease to warn, even greater trouble spawn, which
on to others, and not just them, may duly flow, and we thus somewhat
guilty too, through our failure to say or do.
Yes,
don’t stop judging, for you’d be a fool, given that the ability to
weigh, is your most important tool.
Now why don’t they teach that in
school?
By Lance Landall
Regarding Truth
Never
assume that what you hear and read is true, as so many perilously do,
for this world is full of error and lies, that far too easily, and far
too many, satisfies, and that when embraced, and in the mind encased,
falsehood simply multiplies, and way too frequently.
No,
never assume that what you hear and read is true, for that which we
hear or read can often be untrue — yes, a tale simply spun for fun,
(one perhaps naively begun); something taken out of context, (very
often a statement or text); an outright lie; something that innocently
went awry; or a deliberate attempt to mislead, all of which, and upon
which, many all too often feed, and foolishly so, for surely we all
know, that there are those who have agendas, oft behind the scene
offenders, (collectively or individually); those who’ve bowed to
popularity, peer pressure, desire, ease; those who everyone wish to
please; those too afraid to say what they should, (thus consenting to
evil rather than good); those who have their head in the sand, (simply
disinterested or too off-hand); those who’re dancing to another’s tune,
or to that which is opportune, and who thereby, or therefore, truth
twist, dilute, or cut to suit, and effectively, out the door boot,
whilst incoming error they salute — self being at the core — and whose
flawed comments, or untruths, we’re best to ignore.
Yes,
never assume that what you hear and read is true, for packaging
falsehood to look like truth is something many do — thus, truth, (or
even error), is only found when one’s thinking and approach are sound
— that is, when self interest is laid to one side; when the true source
of that which is heard or read is identified; when commonsense,
willingness and wisdom are applied; when others are given a fair
hearing, an impartial platform for sharing; when bias or prejudice are
rejected; and when that which is heard or read is open-mindedly and
thoroughly inspected — in other words, conscientiously researched, for
often it has only been those who’ve seriously searched, who, great danger and
folly uncovered, and even lost truth recovered, or for that
matter, truth simply discovered, thus steering a straight and
worthy path, and not having
perilously lurched.

Just Crooks
This
world is full of fraudsters who prey on the vulnerable — they
including, the young, the aged, the weak, the helpless, the unwell and
gullible — yes, easy prey for those who’re out to make a killing, and
who even convince many who’re less willingly, who midst a desperate
sigh, the fraudster’s flawed theory try, or quack potions, lotions, and
tablets buy, thinking, “Well, I’ll never know — will I —
until I give such a go?” which just leaves these fraudsters richer, an
all to common picture, a scene that’s set via clever spiels, those too
good to be true deals, slick and sophisticated adds, that financially
fleece caring mums and dads, or whoever else falls prey to such scams,
so like innocent children, unwary new born lambs.
Yes,
cures for this, answers for that — and yes, there’s always a cost,
hence how over time much is lost, or perhaps in one hit, folk hoping
and thinking that “This is it,” only to find that it isn’t so, just
another harsh and “Thought so” blow, for often there isn’t an answer or
cure, and why sometimes we’ve no choice but to endure, or to just
accept things the way they are, carry that burden, live with that scar,
rather than playing into the hands of conmen, who deceive and fleece
again and again.
And I’ve no doubts that there are deluded fraudsters out there, those who believe they do
have an answer or cure, and in that sense, they are sincere, but given
they haven’t, and one’s money duly take, they’re simply fraudsters of
another kind — still fake — who’re deceiving and fleecing humankind.
Yes,
some have cures for this, answers for that, no doubt could pull rabbits
out of a hat, and so it goes, which in time shows, for reality and
fantasy are worlds apart, though seldom in the fraudster’s mind and
heart, nor in that of the deluded, who cannot be excluded, for they
effectively work the same art, peddling their cures, their
answers, their seminars and books — yes, fraudsters, modern day
pickpockets — in other words, just crooks!
