Lucifer Wages Rebellion Wars: Rules A Mud World

a world of historical mysteries
a world of hidden mysteries
a world of political mysteries

a world of conspiracy fact

never in my lifetime
could I ever truthfully say
the land was without war

many wars exist continually
somewhere in various locations
shifting across chess board earth

symbolically in lost Eden
in a state of lost paradise
in a state of bodily perfection

in a measure of favoured land
in a measure of favoured time
chosen land existed without war

before Adam and Eve were expelled
before the land before them was cursed
in their expelled wanderings into cursed world

before this Lucifer had already been expelled
before this Lucifer was within lunar orbit bound
Lucifer waging rebellion wars rules a mud world

raging like a roaring lion seeking souls to bind

death is individual
death is soul specific
death claims communities nations

wages of sin are death?
death claims all sinners?
death claims all earth born souls?

yet symbolically
what will the death
of the globe be?

a revelation of pestilence, hunger, famine?
as under global warming storms our crops erode?
death fire hunger famine signs of Lucifer’s rebellion war?

contrast is the blessing
of innocence fallen curse of greed

Les Bijoux (The Jewels)

La très chère était nue, et, connaissant mon coeur,
Elle n'avait gardé que ses bijoux sonores,
Dont le riche attirail lui donnait l'air vainqueur
Qu'ont dans leurs jours heureux les esclaves des Mores.

Quand il jette en dansant son bruit vif et moqueur,
Ce monde rayonnant de métal et de pierre
Me ravit en extase, et j'aime à la fureur
Les choses où le son se mêle à la lumière.

Elle était donc couchée et se laissait aimer,
Et du haut du divan elle souriait d'aise
À mon amour profond et doux comme la mer,
Qui vers elle montait comme vers sa falaise.

Les yeux fixés sur moi, comme un tigre dompté,
D'un air vague et rêveur elle essayait des poses,
Et la candeur unie à la lubricité
Donnait un charme neuf à ses métamorphoses;

Et son bras et sa jambe, et sa cuisse et ses reins,
Polis comme de l'huile, onduleux comme un cygne,
Passaient devant mes yeux clairvoyants et sereins;
Et son ventre et ses seins, ces grappes de ma vigne,

S'avançaient, plus câlins que les Anges du mal,
Pour troubler le repos où mon âme était mise,
Et pour la déranger du rocher de cristal
Où, calme et solitaire, elle s'était assise.

Je croyais voir unis par un nouveau dessin
Les hanches de l'Antiope au buste d'un imberbe,
Tant sa taille faisait ressortir son bassin.
Sur ce teint fauve et brun, le fard était superbe!

— Et la lampe s'étant résignée à mourir,
Comme le foyer seul illuminait la chambre
Chaque fois qu'il poussait un flamboyant soupir,
Il inondait de sang cette peau couleur d'ambre!

The Jewels

My darling was naked, and knowing my heart well,
She was wearing only her sonorous jewels,
Whose opulent display made her look triumphant
Like Moorish concubines on their fortunate days.

When it dances and flings its lively, mocking sound,
This radiant world of metal and of gems
Transports me with delight; I passionately love

Ode V: Against Suspicion

I.
Oh fly! 'tis dire Suspicion's mien;
And, meditating plagues unseen,
The sorceress hither bends:
Behold her torch in gall imbrued:
Behold — her garment drops with blood
Of lovers and of friends.

II.
Fly far! Already in your eyes
I see a pale suffusion rise;
And soon through every vein,
Soon will her secret venom spread,
And all your heart and all your head
Imbibe the potent stain.

III.
Then many a demon will she raise
To vex your sleep, to haunt your ways;
While gleams of lost delight
Raise the dark tempest of the brain,
As lightning shines across the main
Through whirlwinds and through night.

IV.
No more can faith or candor move;
But each ingenuous deed of love,
Which reason would applaud,
Now, smiling o'er her dark distress,
Fancy malignant strives to dress
Like injury and fraud.

V.
Farewell to virtue's peaceful times:
Soon will you stoop to act the crimes
Which thus you stoop to fear:
Guilt follows guilt: and where the train
Begins with wrongs of such a stain,
What horrors form the rear!

VI.
'Tis thus to work her baleful power,
Suspicion waits the sullen hour
Of fretfulness and strife,
When care the infirmer bosom wrings,
Or Eurus waves his murky wings
To damp the seats of life.

VII.
But come, forsake the scene unbless'd

Parfum Exotique (Exotic Perfume)

Quand, les deux yeux fermés, en un soir chaud d'automne,
Je respire l'odeur de ton sein chaleureux,
Je vois se dérouler des rivages heureux
Qu'éblouissent les feux d'un soleil monotone;

Une île paresseuse où la nature donne
Des arbres singuliers et des fruits savoureux;
Des hommes dont le corps est mince et vigoureux,
Et des femmes dont l'oeil par sa franchise étonne.

Guidé par ton odeur vers de charmants climats,
Je vois un port rempli de voiles et de mâts
Encor tout fatigués par la vague marine,

Pendant que le parfum des verts tamariniers,
Qui circule dans l'air et m'enfle la narine,
Se mêle dans mon âme au chant des mariniers.

Exotic Perfume

When, with both my eyes closed, on a hot autumn night,
I inhale the fragrance of your warm breast
I see happy shores spread out before me,
On which shines a dazzling and monotonous sun;

A lazy isle to which nature has given
Singular trees, savory fruits,
Men with bodies vigorous and slender,
And women in whose eyes shines a startling candor.

Guided by your fragrance to these charming countries,
I see a port filled with sails and rigging
Still utterly wearied by the waves of the sea,

While the perfume of the green tamarinds,
That permeates the air, and elates my nostrils,
Is mingled in my soul with the sailors' chanteys.

— Translated by William Aggeler

Exotic Perfume

When I, with eyes shut, on warm autumn eves,
The fragrance of your warmer breast respire,
I see a country bathed in solar fire
Whose happy shores its lustre never leaves;

An isle of indolence, where nature raises
Singular trees and fruits both sweet and tender,

The art of life is to show your hand. There is no diplomacy like candor. You may lose by it now and then, but it will be a loss well gained if you do. Nothing is so boring as having to keep up a deception.

And we ought to work our diplomacy first and I think it's a reason it's going to respond increasingly to our diplomacy particularly with the president's direct involvement in the peace process, and I think that's extraordinarily important.

Yebus

Where do come from my love?
And of the swarm of bees and honey around you;
For the customary for the bride and bridegroom are ready,
And i am using diplomacy to meet your love.

The man who appeared to me came again and,
Of the thirty friends for his thirty linen garments;
For the time of the wheat harvest is near and,
I will use diplomacy to meet your love.

I am very powerful like the sun but,
Your beauty had met my love like the bees around you;
And the summer is right here in the land of love.

Come and share with me and,
Come and let us play in the garden of love;
For i am Yebus from a land far away!
But i will always seek for you.

Poisonos girls

Wars are not won merely by bravery
You may have large army of infantry or cavalry
Wars may bring destruction and misery
It is useless, senseless and simply unnecessary

War can be won by use of diplomacy
May settle problem and establish supremacy
On one side threat and other side peace advocacy
Open field for sending state to insolvency

How many lives may be lost in process?
Atrocities, torture and force used in excess
No horrified tales to find its way to world
Deaths, hunger, poverty only to emerge in cold

Modern warfare involves great precision
But lacks firmness and vision or decision
Faulty planning and error leads to war
Nobody thinks of war and what is meant for!

Our ancestors had great vision ands reason
Boundaries were fully secured in all the seasons
Prosperity all over and no worry for invasion
Death penalty for robbery and high treason

Girls were used for sabotage in neighbourhood
They were reared and fed the poisonous food
Sent with mission to kill the easy target
Kingdoms sent into jittery and preparedness forget

Many kingdoms were simply raged to ground
The real reason was not ascertained or found
Poisonous girls played their part as sacred duty
They were not ashamed or felt pity

It is nature’s law that simply allow
Big fishes go to small one to swallow
It is continuous process and goes on
We simply catch the mood and act upon

Big kingdoms used to adopt same way
In long run it stood ground and used to pay
Little kingdoms lost their territory and freedom
This might be considered as tactics and wisdom

Modern diplomacy lack teeth have no such tactics
It only thrives and relies upon figures and statistics
Brutal use of force or aggression is only way in politics
Sovereign states are free to determine course of action
Territorial integrity and freedom should invite no reaction

Blessed Are The Peacemakers

There are those who believe
ridicule sarcasm argument
loud dominating discourse
designed to intimidate

are paramount
to achieving their goals
their dark agenda
this is a grave fault

critical matters of severity
are best severed
by a diplomacy
of respect courtesy patience

acknowledging
attempting to understand
all complexities
of conflict problems

did you never
think to stop
(to listen?
to learn?)

Continued disagreement
may result in atrocities
war mistaken diplomacy
by other more aggressive means.

Do we really
want to pay this price
spilling the blood
of vibrant youthful sons?

A blood sacrifice
to ransom our souls
and spiritual guidance
was painfully given

two thousand
years ago.
Many cultures
great thinkers

before and after have constantly
espoused this same message
across centuries of violent upheavals

Life is Everything

Diplomacy has gone
with the wind
encased in bullets
and strapped on bombs
Life is worth nothing

Money is everything

Blood soaked money
in chests locked up
in vaults guarded by
expendable life

Money is everything

Rehabilitation has failed
addiction is my prediction
Social programs in decay
what do these presidential
candidates have to say

Money is everything

Life is everything
Without it we'd have
nothing to fight for
There would be nothing
we wouldn't've survived
the tests of time to
presently fail.
It is life that
we live with
Stop death
Diplomacy now

Life is not worthless
Money is not everything
Life is everything
Protect life first

Peace MaGents!

A quiet mind is richer than a crown,
A smiling face is unfriendly to a frown,
The smiling sun is home at a village and also in town
And a flag of harmony will never carelessly fall down...
Peace MaGents!

Life is one short piece none dares to miss:
when ants work and snakes hiss,
when uncle gives a hand to niece,
when you and I unite in perfect peace;
Peace MaGents!

A heart content breeds relief -
Relief so good as spicy beef -
Spicy beef cut like unto a leaf -
A leaf that dries up not, only if:
only if there is peace in all our lands,
Peace MaGents!

Diplomacy is not a diploma but a quality,
So, let us no longer show partiality
but let's work together for equality
And sail together in a ship of amity -
Peace MaGents!

Together controlling our emotions,
Together sharing our notions,
Together destroying all factions,
Together tackling all the devil's sanctions
And, lo, together pursuing goodwill actions,
Peace MaGents!

Let our hearts melt with love and no longer freeze,
Let our nerves receive only a diplomacy breeze,
Let our hands hold one and two release
so that the spirit of UBUNTU will never cease,
Peace MaGents!

Peace is a cake of an enormus size,
As far as I do realize,
So let's hold the knife together and rise
So that the world sees we're wise - not otherwise!
Peace MaGents!

Come let us reason together, and think.
Hurry, let's join our hands and link,
Let the sons and daughters of the soil not wink
'till all worms of violence and hatred sink.
Peace MaGents!
