New poem (song, really) at the request of bee

Post by Teratogen »

she asked for something biblical... so here it is, honey [bee]. haha.

Wings of Abaddon

2,000 years is a long, long time
to waste away in our skin--
Bending backwards to believe anything
that can bend you back again.
I met a man named Jesus,
he told me he'd die for my sins;
The next day he was crucified
and he begged me to forgive him.

Religious fanatics clutch the crutch of TV
for their agenda to spread the word.
Millions of dollars have been burned at the stake,
but it's nothing that we haven't heard.
Is it faith and love in the little white dove--
the hope of a peaceful bird?
Or is it the wings of Abaddon
for which the lines have been blurred?

Wings of Abaddon
Tales of Babylon

The revelation has come.
Heed the call of Abaddon.

Wings of Abaddon
Tales of Babylon
Make the sacrifice
Give up Jesus Christ



now i wonder if any of you know who abaddon was, and what the relevance is of his whereabouts. :wink:

The quoted above lines would be enough for me to enjoy the poem-or if it was a song. It lets me follow your mind how it floats slowly and the images are appearing in your inner eye, till the eye which sees beyond grasps the image- I think you got the talent and inspiration, just that you need more discipline. In art it is a very substantial thing-as an example-in painting the dilettante sees and paints everything, he does not know the difference-what is the most important in his selection.
My guess is that your mind was seeking for the name of Absolom- son of David-who was a most beautiful man with long hair, but perhaps not. The story of David and Absolom is most inspiring.
Thank you Teratogen, wonderful!!!!

Teratogen,

Jesus Christ did not die for your sins.
He laid down his life for his sheep.


Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

WHO sends Evil?
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].


He is the very one who created the very delusion
that makes you think your very original work here is poetry


Psa 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

eelaine-
Your post made no sense -- what was that you wanted to say? Teratogen is a poet, I enjoy reading his poems. Are you revising his ideas or ideas of the Bible?
What was that first senseless sentence of yours about?
Jesus Christ did not die for your sins.
He laid down his life for his sheep.

yeah, eelaine, i'm not one of his sheep. so you're right, he didn't die for my sins. kinda like in "gloria," the patti smith song. "jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine."
Rev 20:15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.


i'm not written in the book anywhere i don't think. so, see ya in the lake of fire! :twisted:
WHO sends Evil?
Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
so, essentially what you're saying is that the lord (whoever that may be) is good and evil; one in the same. gotcha.

He is the very one who created the very delusion
that makes you think your very original work here is poetry
so this goes along with the last quote that the lord does evil things, too. how awkward. anyway, but see, everyone usually says it's the devil that makes you believe he doesn't exist. oh, RIGHT, it's the LORD all along! haha, what a kidder.
Psa 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
hey, i laugh. in fact, i'm laughing at all this right now. but if i'm in heaven, aren't i in the presence of the lord? and because i laugh he's gonna have me in derision? what a prick. is that some little joke of his? oh right... he's a kidder. he kids. :wink:
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
now why would god try to do that to me? doesn't he have anything better to do, like end hunger and promote world peace? but that's a great line. he'll send delusion so that they should believe a lie. so, everyone that believes in god is believing in a lie? i mean, if he's telling them to spread the word (which is what all the televangelists say), then he's telling them to essentially spread a lie. this is some twisted shit.
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
so, those who don't believe the truth will be damned, but will have pleasure in being unrighteous? sooo.... since this comes right after the last quote, what i'm seeing here is that god's deluding everyone with lies and expects people to believe it? or maybe i'm getting this wrong, maybe he DOESN'T expect people to believe it. but if that's so he made a big mistake with the creation of mankind, cuz he's got another thing coming! hahaha. but if they do believe the lies they're gonna be damned. but that's not all, folks. act now and you could have pleasure in being unrighteous! i'm pretty fine where i am being unrighteous, if that's what righteousness entails.

so, eelaine, my dear, thank you for the lesson, i've learned so much today. perhaps you can take a lesson from me, too: I DON'T GIVE A SHIT. and here's another lesson, with goes along with bee's message...

bee,

i do not speak of absolom, i speak of abaddon. now i'm quoting a gideon's here (because lord knows i'd never pay for one in a bookstore, hahaha). this is from revelations, the most tripped-out, fucked-up, psychotic depiction of the endtimes i've ever read in my entire life:

Rev. 9:11 (notice the relevance of the chapter and verse numbers):
"And they had as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, but in Greek he has the name Apollyon."

here is a more detailed description: http://www.occultopedia.com/a/abaddon.htm

hopefully that will also help to understand the exact message bee quoted. i'm glad you liked it, bee. that whole verse i changed. if you want to read the original verse i don't mind, just let me know. but the language was more crude and i wasn't looking for that in this song, and i didn't even use curse words! hahaha. but most of this song dealt with christian themes but in that original second verse the song would have gone from christian to muslim back to christian themes and i don't think that it fit. i probably did something like that to play off the rev. 9:11 thing. but anyway... thanks again, and eelaine... well, whatever.

Tratogen- OK, I looked up that site and now I know what you're talking about, but than again- I have to go back to your poem to see it all in a different light. I think I have been quite naive, thinking what I was thinking there about your idea. I guess it is more scary, is quite opposite to what I thought at first and why did I like these particular lines in your poem. Perhaps it was from the other side of the viewpoint? Perhaps, then, even more though,,, hmm well, I got to think more about it .Teratogen, I think I already told you that-please read Lermontov- Demon! It is essential that you read it..
