POSSESSION'S 9/10THS {1 of 4} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{1_01}
THE LAW cannot forgive as Christ commands,
{1_02}
so no attorney gen'ral can pretend
{1_03}
their Christian faith supports their harsh demands
{1_04}
for mercilessly pushing for life's end.
{1_06}
death penalties in ev'ry case they can,
{1_07}
you see THE DEMON rising up to peek
{1_08}
out Ashcroft's eyes. All part of Satan's plan ...
{1_10}
with demons who'll transmit the blasphemy
{1_11}
of Christ-as-unforgiving while blood's spilled
{1_12}
by "Christian" armies you watch on TV.
{1_14}
into inconsequence by John's tirades.

POSSESSION'S 9/10THS {2 of 4} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{2_01}
When John the Baptist spoke (the truth profess),
{2_02}
he said that Moses only gave the law
{2_03}
with its rigidity. Harsh. Merciless.
{2_04}
But Jesus bought forgiveness for each flaw.
{2_06}
responsibility for judging sin.
{2_07}
And should you think by quoting Christ I've won
{2_08}
some point, just wait till Jesus speaks again ...
{2_10}
So what are we to think? Don't think you know.
{2_11}
The corners of his meaning will not fold
{2_12}
as neatly as a private's bedsheets go.
{2_14}
that's Ashcroft's BULLSHIT, not sweet Jesus' breath.

POSSESSION'S 9/10THS {3 of 4} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{3_01}
I'd always thought that Christians were immune
{3_02}
from demons taking up a residence
{3_03}
within their souls. But now a diff'rent tune
{3_04}
is on my heart because so many hints ...
{3_06}
and morning papers spread and don't dilute
{3_07}
the BULLSHIT of our leaders. Don't you see?
{3_08}
You recognize a demon by its fruit.
{3_10}
"Misleading" uses pieces of the truth
{3_11}
arrayed to fool "the people" -- make them sick
{3_12}
and vomit when they reach the voting booth.
{3_14}
and hatred rises. Demons are on top.

POSSESSION'S 9/10THS {4 of 4} -- Op-Ed Verse (NOT!) by BOKE
{4_01}
But what is there to do? Why not try this:
{4_02}
Stop eating BULLSHIT. Yes, you heard me right.
{4_03}
"The bride of Christ" will never get a kiss
{4_04}
if she has BULLSHIT breath. Not dressed in white ...
{4_06}
Just like the U.S. flag that cannot fly
{4_07}
on freedom's wind -- its cloth is matted down
{4_08}
and stuck wrapped 'round the pole, not in the sky.
{4_10}
Please disregard my bapping on the head
{4_11}
the BULLSHIT-eating Christians -- Christians who
{4_12}
blaspheme the name of Jesus Christ who bled ...
{4_14}
from all our deadly BULLSHIT. "...[C]an you see?"

HAIKU REVIEW
RHETORIC's no good
against demon possession.
An exorcism?{holy smile/g}
When Ashcroft or Bush
I won't say it's BUT judge by the fruit --
dead bodies and loot.
