Deafening Silence

from April 30, 2010

I said I would command God's Finger

And there would not be a sound

And when it came down out of the sky

All I heard was a deafening silence

Just before that

Muhammad arrived

As I said he would

To watch the parade that floated by

A prophesy as bold as any that has been told

And when I bowed toward him

He responded with a deafening silence

Five months later when I put my Dad in his place

As I predicted I would

His irises instantly changed color

Without resorting to a taser

He glared back at me with a deafening silence

When I awoke from the dream

With the dot on my cheek

I remember

My sister in the doorway and her maniacal stare

Her response to my story

Was a deafening silence

Talking about my car at

Coit Tower's lookout

I sensed someone behind me

Rosemary!

The ugly version of Imelda Marcos

A shape-shifter

And a lunatic

Just like my sister

The most disgusting thing on two legs

Was recording me with a Treo phone

Chewing on something with a disdainful glare

When I looked back and mimicked her grimace

She walked off

In a deafening silence

Twice and again in the hallway

The curse showed up

Unannounced

Each time I spoke she was frozen in place

Enveloped in a deafening Silence

You jabbed me in the ribs when I wanted to talk

And looked at me in a deafening silence

Christmas time

A party for the residents

We stared at each other in a deafening silence

“It's nice” you said and

I replied “Good!”

And I awaited your next line

You shook as though your life was about to end

I wondered why in our deafening silence
You found me below the ballerina clown

What could I say?

I had seen you before

I talked about the magnetic attraction of the car

We shook hands

In a deafening silence
I know you tried to cook me alive
When I finally emerged
The cameras caught me accuse with my stare
Your response deafening and silent

I blew you a kiss and you ran past and around

I thought you would say something

Because you are so good with words

But all I heard was a deafening silence

I motioned you over from my balcony

I waited in the coffee shop

So close and yet so far away

Is that all I get?

A Deafening Silence?

God is still talking to us?

Do you know what He said?

Why is it then

When I came to see the solid versions

Of the decade old pictures

You waddled away

Deafening. Silent.

While eating chips and salsa

I thought you looked familiar

You leaned toward me

I think that meant something

But all I could hear

Was a deafening silence

Flash bulbs popping

In the ritzy esplanade

I had to ask someone whom they had seen

You call that an offer?

Was that just a joke?

Without saying a word

I cannot interpret

Your deafening silence

Did you want to say something?

You certainly caught my eye

Anyone can talk to anyone else

In that public place

What your stare meant

I still have no idea

Could someone please translate

The deafening silence?

Call me if you can go

But you made other plans

You had transformed into my wife

Then divorced me the very next day

Of course I got mad

You hardly know me

So I left you there in your deafening silence

Your dog seemed to like me

And you didn't even know about

My history with dogs

You looked so cute
Sitting on the floor

With your unbroken look and deafening silence

More than your brother

More than your buddy

I could tell you get it

As you nodded at me in the deafening silence

It bit me on the thigh

Swelled and deflated

Then ceased to exist

In the Southern twilight

Deafening

Silence

Your words changed by themselves

Words and strokes

Added and removed

But the rest of the world seemed not to notice

They see me

Completely unaware

All their responses are deafening and silent

They took me away without a warning and

Without a greeting

While I slept and was vulnerable

Such cowardice from a superior force

You cannot meet me on an even field?

Why could you not converse with me?

Is that advanced?
You are a deafening silence

You minister to me

Quote what you think I said

To me when, in fact

I came here

To Save

To Minister

To Protect

All of you

Did I prove you right?

Am I proving you wrong?

Heed these words and

Take them to heart

When I read the charges

Present the evidence

Announce the verdict

And prepare to execute your sentence

It would be best

If the only thing that you do

Is to remain

Silent

Riddle Me

Love?
Hope?
Peace?
Do not make me laugh.
I came here to save you.
And save you I already have.
But you destroyed what I preserved.
And turned what I created into trash.
Just a few simple enemies eliminated
Would have gone a long way
With so many examples to look at
How did you miss what was clear?
Did you think I was joking?
Why did you violate all I said was holy?
Why did you think I would tolerate what had to be removed?
What makes you think you can replace and reinvent me?
You think I'm more powerful than God?
Did you think the prophets were wrong?
Did someone have to introduce you to me?
Let me explain it to all of you dunces
Peter Tosh was able to find me
Columbus Meeker, the real Elijah, found me in someone else's house
And when the first code almost signaled the end
Biggie Smalls had made a pilgrimage
To find me in a nick of time
This really all belongs to me
The world of the destructive and ungrateful
Who did you think you would dupe?
Planet Earth shall become radioactive soup!
And we will see who will remain on my side
One hundred two score and four times a thousand
If so many books are right.
But Jesus Krishna, the Messiah, told you the books would change
And they did!
Did you send my check in the mail?
Did you think I came here to chase tail?
I expected to receive what was promised
Is it possible billions can fail?
Look at the man in the mirror as I do
Can you still love me more than your Father?
Do you love me more than your Mother?
Is it possible to love me more than your child?
Don't say yes when the answer is no
I'm sorry you'll have to go

Riddle Me by Jesus Krishna - What the Matrix is Not

Tramp and Thief

I see you there

All that hair

Sitting in your very

Inappropriate white dress

When you received your star

Before your first movie comes out

But I know better

You are a tramp and thief

That cross around your neck

Must symbolize something

Besides your well-timed separation and

Running away with my stolen kid

Your publicity machine is in full swing

This movie is a sure fire success

With girls of both genders fawning

Over the mother of the boy-girl

And the idiotic gay midget

Can people even tell the difference?

It does not matter which way I point

At the walk of fame or the wall of shame

Thief, thief, tramp and thief

A real hit

And not so inappropriate 

For a time like this

Another Revision

Became so disgusted with this world

He decided to let Him finish his job

What I Said When It Really Ended

posted on December 17, 2009, but referenced on June 30, 2006, and originally composed at the end of April 2007

Liberty is sold
Old blue eyes revealed himself
Ted's head in a jar

What Happened to Me?

Sometimes I have to ask

Once, I was a little kid

What ever happened to him?

Occasionally I disappeared

Without any explanation

Even I could not answer that question

What happened to me?

One night that all changed

And it seems I had even more unanswerable questions after that

How was I supposed to accomplish this assignment?

Where would I get instructions and guidance in this choice-less life?

Whom could I trust?

When my friends told me this was all too much

How was I supposed to keep going and believe?

I never envisioned this nightmare would keep going around and around

At a slow yet dizzying pace

When does it end?

Will we ever attain the victory you promised me?

How is it possible someone who should know it all

Still has so much trouble explaining 

A lost decade

Coming up short

Or do I have to finally turn in my work

Incomplete?
