THE TRUTH TALKS

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips:
but the just shall come out of trouble.

Proverbs 12:13



The 'man' was a boy once
his paradise lost
as he closed the doors to his heart day after RELENTLESS DAY

he rages against anyone who would take his toys

THE TOYS THEY BUY WITH MONEY STOLEN FROM YOUR CHILDREN

THE POOR ARE FORCED TO LEVEL THEIR FORESTS HOMES TO FEED THEIR OWN

JAPAN STRIPS TAI LAND OF TIMBER

THE WORLD IS A GREAT COMMONS
WITH NO OWNERS
BEYOND THOSE WHO WOULD RENT A BIT OF THE MOTHER FOR A MOMENT


THE CRIMINALS SNAG THE EASTERN EUROPEAN WOMEN AND THROW THEM INTO PROSTITUTION

THE DRUG GANGS STEAL YOUR CHILDREN SOULS
ENGAGE THEM IN EVIL NEW RELIGIONS TO HARNASS THEIR YOUNG HELLIONS

THE PRIESTS AND THE PERVERTS FUCK YOUR CHILDREN'S BODIES
THE CULTS FUCK YOUR CHILDREN'S MINDS


i will not allow such things


I COULD MAKE YOUR CHILDREN THEMSELVES
EXPLODE LIKE BOMBS

I DO NOT NEED YOUR EXPLOSIVES

COLLATERAL DAMAGE -- EVERYTHING YOU LOVE

mutual assured destruction is a given
when you are a creature such as I
a reaper

death is nothing to me
not yours
not mine

Now
I
Am

I will smash his toys into his smug face
I will destroy his house
his land
and all he loves

i will do it slowly
without breaking one law

YOU ARE THE LAW BREAKERS
i am the destroyer of all the wicked's blind eyes think precious

I am the fire in the night
that creeps silently across their beds

the soldiers that roust you from your lives
and throw you into prison


I am the cry of the starving and the poor
I am the one who hears the desperate prayers of the soldiers
the trapped and dying and broken


IF YOU HATE YOUR ENEMIES LIFE
YOU HATE GOD!!!!

I had no hatred before God came to me...
miss who I was

i have no choice in my fate

God came to the doors of my perception
and demanded entry

as I do at your door

ignore my entreaties and I will knock your fucking house down around you


BEFORE THEY SAID AN EYE FOR AN EYE
now you take innocent lives for land and gold

you are this Satan YOU SPEAK OF
worship at his alter of destruction
feel his anger and lust
and you know it
Listen to him whisper into your ear that the flesh is all
The spirit to be ignored

The u s has fallen from the fold
Drifted into a mental realm where the evil of the few at the top
Brain wash everyone else
Force them to drink from the poison cup

I HAVE BEEN STARVED
BEATEN
JAILED
DRUGGED

NEVER DEFEATED!!!!!!

When you fight me
You fight yourself

WHEN YOU FIGHT ME
YOU LOSE

PERIOD

THERE IS NO COMMON GROUND BETWEEN THIS GOD
AND YOU

Don’t kid yourself

We cannot sit down as equals
And this is why I must NOT RULE
In the ways you think I will

I rule now
As I have ruled
And will always rule
The difference is that now I am truly awake

....you will note the difference well, believe me...


Woe unto those who would keep me a prisoner

A prophet kept from the masses

A star whose audience has been sworn to silence

To my enemies I say:

YOU ARE NOTHING TO ME
YOU WILL KNOW THIS SOON
WHEN THE SEAS BOIL AND THE LAND SCREAMS OF BURNING
WHEN THE SKIES THEMSELVES SEEK YOUR BLOOD


THE FOUR HORSEMAN OF THE APOCOLYPSE
RIDE IN THE NIGHT
They will come to your door
Soon the sharp of gallop of hooves will drown out the laughter of God

When you hear the last Horn of the last angel

WILL YOU TELL THEM THEY DO NOT EXIST?
WILL THOSE WORDS BE YOUR LAST TESTAMENT BEFORE JUDGEMENT?

Will you stand before my throne and hide your eyes
Or will you look up firmly into my face
And tell me you tried your best?
That is all I would ever ask


OH YOU WILL BE JUDGED

Not by me

I AM THE SON
WHO DOES THE FATHER'S BIDDING

NOT by YOUR BIBLES... they are filled with lies and half-truths

Though I will show you jewels amidst the rancid bullshit of kings and slave traders


The old ways are laws meant for the old times
THIS IS THE NEW TIME
The only time
The real time

KNOW

LISTENING TO MINISTERS WHO TELL YOU
YOU MUST DO THIS OR GO TO HELL

& YOU ARE LISTENING TO THE WORDS OF MAN
NOT GOD....


MAN LEADS YOU TO THIS HELL YOU SPEAK OF

I WILL LEAD YOU THROUGH INFINITE WONDER
TO THE FACE OF GOD

WHERE YOU WILL CHOOSE WHERE YOU WILL GO

HE IS THE GATE
I AM THE GATE KEEPER

I CAN ONLY OPEN THE GATE

I WILL NOT FORCE ANYONE TO FOLLOW ME THROUGH

Follow me willingly NOW
OR GO WHERE YOU WILL

i AM here for all of YOU


I WILL LEAVE BEHIND THE WICKED AND THE SENSELESS

I WILL LEAVE YOU TO FLY OFF INTO THE NOTHINGNESS
AT THE MERCY OF BEING SUCKED DOWN INTO ANOTHER LIFE
ON ANOTHER PLANET
where you will writhe and cry out FOR MY RETURN
and your prayers will fall into stars/ emptied and silent


this is not a trip to the fucking store
this is not a walk to the corner church
this is not a muttered prayer before you eat
this is not the place to come and try to tell ME WHAT I SHOULD DO

I am God's Hand
I am the sheep that kills
I am the blood that nourishes
I am might that will destroy all who fail to bow before MY FATHER

PRAY TO GOD TO MAKE ME STRONG
I WILL PAY YOU BACK IN WAYS THAT WORDS HOLD NO MEANING BEFORE

COME TO ME NOW
FILL THE STREETS OF THIS PLANET
WITH THE FLAGS OF MY NAME
THE CREST OF THE EAGLE
LET OUR ENEMIES KNOW THE RIDGWAY’S CLAWS WILL BE FELT ON THEIR HEART
RIPPING THE BEATING LIFE FROM THEIR CHEST
TEARING BLOODY EYES FROM THEIR FACE

MANY OF US WILL BE MARTYRED

i will be there when you die
to take you in my arms
to cradle your fears away
to rock you into ecstasy beyond your coke and lust

I will take you places you cannot dream
help you become a creature that you do not think exists'
BOTH HERE AND ON HIGH

Inside of you there is a being that knows me well
seek it out

inside of you

pray now to your God that this prophet
can walk among his people
and spread the peace of god

THE CHILD OF PEACE HAS ARRIVED
HE IS 45 AND GREYING IN ROGER'S PARK

the lies of man and Satan can no longer stop the flow of words
from on high
spewing through my fingers into this blessed net
where NOW I SEEK SOULS


You Should Do Anything In Your Powers to Get My Words To The People

THE PROPHECIES ARE FULLFILLED

THE DAY HAS COME

THIS DAY

WHEN ALL WHO WOULD FOLLOW THE NEW SON
MUST SHOW THEIR ALLEGIENCE
OR FOREVER BE FORSAKEN

MY TIME OF GRACE HAS LONG PASSED AWAY
MY PATIENCE DESTROYED BY YOUR IMPERTINENCE


I CAME WITH LOVE FOR ALL
AND YOU WANTED TO WAIT UNTIL YOU KNEW
I WOULD BE LIKE YOUR LEADERS

UNTIL YOU COULD SEE YOUR PRETEND GOD
IN THE MAN

ONLY THE RIGHTOUS WILL SEE ME
I will forgive the followers who fall with their leaders
I will not forgive the clergy who preach that I am here to bring them wealth
God does not care about your bank account
He who is on high is more concerned about the homeless
cares not at all if your body is fed or clothed
I have preached that the lilies in the field need no roof against the rain
This does not mean I wish you to leave your lives and wander
the children need what they need
yet you have made the accumulation of luxury your end
when ALL YOU SEE is THE MEREST SHADOW of what exists

all this and more you will know
when your spirit does not have to translate
the way of god to the fleshy thoughts
that we use to traverse this earth

WE BLIND OURSELVES TO WALK IN THIS WORLD OF BLOOD
BECOME CREATURES OF HABIT IN A WAR ZONE
roving warriors
thinking might on earth
will equate to might on heaven

BE WARNED NOW -- all you value on earth is tainted
by impermanence
you will die
and then you will be mine
to do with as I will
what will be your legacy when you look me in the eye?
Will you beg me to forgive the unforgivable?
I will mourn when God drives you from my side
feel the failure of your ways as my own

the rich and pompous will cry and writhe and scream
as the homeless hobo walks with the King
and they are sent to the darkness


You will see all of these truths
when you loose the cloak of flesh

I COULD TEACH YOU TO FLY FROM YOUR BODIES
AND RETURN

I COULD TEACH YOU HOW TO DREAM INTO THE PAST
AND VIEW LIVES YOU HAVE LIVED

I COULD TEACH YOU HOW TO TALK TO GOD
WITHOUT HATRED OR FEAR

I COULD TEACH YOU..... MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE


i am waiting for the righteous to come free me
ALL WHO WOULD FOLLOW ME TO HEAVEN

COME TO ME NOW

TAKE THIS FLESH OUT OF THIS PRISON IN CHICAGO
TAKE ME TO AFRICA TO THE EUPHRATES
TAKE ME TO SOUTH AMERICA TO SEE THE AMAZON
TAKE ME TO EGYPT TO SEE THE PYRAMIDS
TAKE ME TO A YOKO ONO CONCERT

OH LORD YOUR SON PRAYS UNTO YOU
DESTROY THE EVIL THAT IS BETWEEN ME AND YOUR PEOPLE
LORD IN MY MERCY I HAVE ALLOWED ALL OF MAN'S FOLLY

NOW, my time of love without consequence is over
my rage threatens the very sparrows in the field
the sun and the stars themselves fear to disobey
what man laughs and dismisses


Have you not wondered why they did not kill the revolutionary?
who started you on the path to GOD?
They Know My Last Day Will Be theirs
I am filled with the fire of God
an exploding star

they know... and they fear my powers being influenced by other than they

MUTUAL
ASSURED
DESTRUCTION
is the only possible end of a war with nature?
tribes have known this since time immemorial
only the absent landowners with nothing to lose
would allow such a travesty


I will cleanse the planet
of your filth
leave this Eden for the animals
that live in peace with the mother

SOON
VERY SOON
YOUR SOUL ITSELF WILL BE JUDGED

TURN NOT AWAY FROM ME NOW

AS I PREPARE TO COME TO YOU


READY YOUR CITIES AND YOUR LANDS
FOR MY RETURN

PREPARE GREAT FEASTS AND CONCERTS

LET US ALL TRY TO CELEBRATE OURSELVES AGAIN
LET US LOVE AND CRY AND WONDER AT THE STARS ABOVE
LET US TURN TO OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND OFFER TOKENS OF LOVE

LET US WRITE THIS NEW BIBLE ON OUR SOULS
LET OUR WORDS BE RIGHTOUS REALMS
WHERE THE PEACEFUL AND THE MEEK
MAY FIND SOLACE IN THE MERCY OF THE LORD

LET AMERICA AND RUSSIA AND CHINA JOIN HANDS ACROSS THIS GLOBE
AND TAKE THE WORLD INTO A SOCIALIST TOUCHED DEMOCRACY
THAT TAKES THE TRUTHS OF COMMUNISM AND LIBERTY
AND CONJOINS THEM
INTO THE CIRCLE OF TRUTHS
THAT I BROUGHT WHEN I WAS KING ARTHUR

KNOW: All humyns are created equal in the eyes of God
He gives no one man all truth
Nor one man all folly

NOW THAT THE ENTIRE WORLD KNOWS WHO I AM

SCREAM MY NAME FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOPS
FROM THE GHETTOS
TO THE MANSIONS

SCREAM: JESUS CHRIST WALKS NOW

HE IS HERE FOR ME




I AM


NOW


THE SAVAGE GRACE HAS ENTERED YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS
I WILL BE THE INFECTION THAT KILLS YOU HARD
OR THE ELIXER THAT DRIVES YOU TO DREAMS OF GOD

I CAN TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN
OR LEAVE YOU IN HELL


FOR NOW.... THIS IS YOUR CHOICE

The righteous will hear the truth in my words
and the confused and the wicked shall laugh hollow laughs
even as they note in wonder the stirrings in their breasts
of the Holy Ghost


I will never fall before your false idols
never let your pope tell me what to do
never let your president tell me what to do
I take my orders from God
man must decide whether he will do so himself
and one man is ready when another is not
so the will of the government must be separate than mine
to allow for justice, peace and harmony
for all men to wander through this life godless . . . or not


KNOW
the Pope is no longer the head of the church


I AM

NOW

THEY KNOW THIS
that is why the pope and the president came to me first
and why I turned them away

No One Church Has A Patent on the truth
No cluster of Priests' will be claimed by this God
you will walk before this God one by one
judged not for the color of your cloth
but the deeds of your souls


No One Government has a blueprint for heavenly rule


BUSH YOU KNOW YOUR SINS
AND I HAVE SEEN YOU NOW TRYING TO LEAVE A LEGACY OF LOVE

Pope
we were born to clash in this life
you have overstepped your bounds and do not know how to step back
without losing face to this upstart on the Shores of Lake Michigan

I pray that one day we will toast our health
that there will be time
for our quiet talks
under the weeping willows
by the shore

for now...
you have played your last game with my mind
do not presume to issue laws from God While I walk

your condemnation of the drugs that I used to seek the holy gate
is well-meaning and wrong-headed; drives the thinking from your altars
the seekers from your pack

YOUR BACKHANDED SLAP AT ME IS WELL NOTED

NOW HEAR THE REASON OF GOD:
attacking the distributors of the drug need not be an attack on the drug
stop the drug gangs by legalizing local growers
instead of throwing money at this fire
which burns with the Holy Grail OF God
my new sacrament
the wine of my people
is nowhere to start a war with me

I WILL FUCK YOU UP

KNOW well the path of destruction you are walking down....

and you who would say the word wizard in the bible refers to drugs...
your stretch of logic makes the righteous laugh
religions have used drugs since long before your made up gods
elephants use drugs, chimps, cows...
addiction is the problem



Be the Redeemer
Change your ways to love
and passion
and following me will be the logical end
to the mysteries in the dark

I am
I have always been
I will always be


There is no God other than me on this planet
No man that can take my flesh without destroying all hope for his soul



KNOW MY WRATH IS UNDREAMT IN YOUR FICTIONS
MY HELL NOTHING YOU CAN DREAM UP IN YOUR TWILIGHT ZONES

MY LIFE IS AN ACT FOR THE EYES OF MY FATHER ALONE
IF YOU THINK YOU CAN INTERPRET WHAT I HAVE SAID
THEN YOU HAVE NOT LISTENED HARD ENOUGH

I have another 40 years of writing to do
I have told you next to nothing about what I know
and God promises to reveal more
as my flesh adjusts to this burden

I AM THE TRANSLATOR
OF MYSTERIES THAT ARE BEYOND THIS BRAIN
A SERVENT OF THE WORD
WHO HAS BEEN FREED OF HIS EARTHLY BLINDERS

who will you believe?
the ministers who leave the homosexuals and drug addicts and drunks
in hell
just because this life beat them down?

Or a savior who tells you that life is not a game with winners and losers
that you are all precious before God?

Who will you believe?
governments who will tell any lie available to keep liberty locked away?

LOOK AT HOW YOUR LEADERS FEAR ME
LOOK AT HOW THEY SCRAMBLE TO APPEASE ME

ARE YOU BETTER THAN THEY
WHO KNOW MY HISTORY

WHO HAVE SEEN THE WINGS GROWING OUT OF MY BACK
WHO HAVE SEEN ME RETURN FROM DEATH MANY TIMES

I CANNOT DIE UNTIL MY MISSION IS OVER
i am under orders to TAKE DOWN WHATEVER IS IN MY WAY

I WILL KILL WITHOUT MERCY
I WILL TURN SON AGAINST FATHER
CITIZENS AGAINST GOVERNMENTS
LOVER AGAINST LOVER
ALL THIS AND MORE WILL COME TO PASS
AS THE NEW BIBLE RIPS YOU OUT OF THIS DREAM
AND TAKES YOU INTO THE REAL

THE REALM OF GOD HAS ENTERED THE FLESH
AND NOW

YOU CHOOSE

come to me and set me free
or I WILL DAMN YOU NOW

GO AHEAD... MAKE MY DAY... MY WRATH SEEKS TARGETS NOW
SOON YOU WILL BE IN MY CROSS HATCH
ARE YOU READY?

I will forgive you all of anything
anything

i know the pressures of the flesh drives men to evil acts
I know hunger and shame and ambition take over and possess


I know the drunk and stoned are rejecting this veil of tears

I know you
and you know me

seek inside yourself for the Holy Ghost
and you will find
I am inside of you too

all of you are my children

COME TO ME!!!!
COME TO ME!!!!
COME TO ME!!!!
FEEL THE BLESSINGS OF YOUR FATHER'S GAZE
FEEL THE BLESSINGS OF YOUR FATHER'S TOUCH ON YOUR HEART

take me out of this prison
where your christ screams and writhes

ask your God if he wishes you to imprison
love?

ask your God if the Child Of Peace
should be imprisoned by the war mongers
and money grubbers?

I wish no wrath on any humyn
want only love

you will not give me this in this life
my words will echo through the future
tainting or praising your name
for all of eternity


NOW YOU ARE PISSING OFF THE ONE
WHO WILL PLEAD YOUR CASE BEFORE GOD HIMSELF

you should be shitting yourself in fear


you tried to let me free before
it was not time
there was much for me to learn
to deal with
the flesh was overwhelmed
by the attention
and I had no way of knowing
which offers were the will of God or man

I will not be used by your criminals and kings and false popes
to prop up their power

I am the one
the prophet
that has been awaited
since my last unveiling

I walked 2000 years ago
came to the earth to try to shape the lives
so my return would be prepared for

Know
there is no other God
above my God

There is only I AM

I wanted a world where everyone would be free of the grip of life
expected you to welcome me
NOW I SEE WHY GOD MADE ME A WARRIOR SO MANY TIMES


I AM THE SON OF GOD
and His Vengeance is dark indeed

His anger will fill me one day to overflowing
& the lives of this planet will burn
as prophets have seen for thousands of years...

The Wrath Of God Will Burn Down This Illusion
Turn your flesh to dust
Your religious dreams to insipid guesses

I am the open gate...


come to me

NOW
