Sold Soul

Sold Soul

I had this poem’s title on blank page:

waiting for divine inspiration to crop.

Viewed T.D. Jakes – After the Fire…:

referenced Trump’s `bible’ photo op.



I am disabled septuagenarian crying out:

America’s leadership is unrepentant.

Common overruled by electoral college:

majority and I were not consentant.


Conservative right misinterprets bible:

`choice’ was first gift in creation lore.

Women created equal side by side:

`abomination’ equals homonym at core.


Numerous words have several definitions:
`tear’ can mean cry, hurry, damage by ripping.
`Love’ expresses affection or tennis score:
oral/written history can be slanted or biased tipping.
Authenticity examines context from origin:
Bible interpreted/translated by chauvinists.
Abomination alternatives usage never pondered:
only used to condemn homosexuals/feminists.

Webster’s 3rd New Int. Dictionary gives example:
abominate also means deprecate - value is less.
Wooden replaced by metal is not loathed or hated.
does not mean that lesser is `no’ and not a `yes’.

Examining Bible further, note Leviticus:
if birth control is used, sex is abomination:
Chapter 18, verses 6 thru 24 expresses ranking:
conception is deprecated meaning depreciation.

Concurrently abomination is sex during menses:
yet incest/polygamy sanctioned same biblical source.
Abomination has not achieved homosexual fame:
evolution required exponential growth in due course.




`NO’ now was `YES’ then to perpetuate race:
problem was misinterpretation by translators.
Old/New Testament fraught with ambiguity:
challenging critical thinkers cast as traitors.

Conservative Right Religions support Trump:
he promised adherence their prejudiced tenants.
N0 choice/gay liberties juxtaposed with right might:
`totalitarian’ precise thinking for wasp descendants.

Catholics/Christians voted their church dictates:
innocent in faithfulness, unaware in discernment.
Followers unknowingly beguiled by unholy persuasion:
their `primacy of conscience’ sentenced to internment.

Conservative Jews swayed by nationalist interest:
overruling liberal two state solution with Palestine.
They too are aligning with religious Christine right:
self-interests dogmatically preached as highest shrine.




Followers of Fascism and Communism sold soul:
false supremacy/division/power/greed are their `deities’.
Religious Leaders claim they are righteous seeders:
yet spiritualness is mockery to honorable societies.

Floyd George’s murder rose multitudes universally:
earth disrespect/racism/injustice evoked DIVINE VOICE.
“CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW” blazes BURNING BUSH:
LOVE ME/NEIGHBOR AS SELF WAS MY CHOICE!

Totalitarianism is a political system or a form of government that prohibits opposition parties, restricts individual opposition to the state and its claims, and exercises an extremely high degree of control over public and private life. It is regarded as the most extreme and complete form of authoritarianism.Wikipedia

In other words, only man has been endowed with the inclination for both good and bad. And only man has been given free choice to choose either one. An angel, on other hand, has no evil inclination and therefore no free choice. This would seem to mean that an angel is something like a robot, which cannot rebel or sin.

Homonyms, or multiple-meaning words, are words that have the same spelling and usually sound alike, but have different meanings (e.g. dog bark, tree bark).

I done sold my soul, sold it to the Devil, and he won’t let me alone I done sold my soul, sold it to the Devil, my heart has turned to stone I live down in the jungle, right by a hornet’s nest Where lions, bears, and tigers all come and take their rest I done sold my soul, sold it to the Devil, and he won’t let me alone Done sold my soul to the Devil, my heart has turned to stone Well, I’m stubborn and I’m hateful, I’d die before I’d run I drink carbolic acid, I totes a Gatling gun I done sold my soul, sold it to the Devil, and he won’t let me alone Done sold my soul to the Devil, my heart has turned to stone Well, when I walk through town with my razor and Gatling gun I’ll cut you if you stand, and shoot you if you run I done sold my soul, sold it to the Devil, and he won’t let me alone Done sold my soul to the Devil, my heart has turned to stone I eat black widow spider dumplings for my dessert I goes to a boiler shop, have them to make my shirt I done sold my soul, sold it to the Devil, and he won’t let me alone Done sold my soul to the Devil, my heart has turned to stone Well, when I went to a place that I know so well I took a few shots at the Devil in Hell All the little devils, they all jumped on the walls Said, “Catch him, Papa, or he’s gonna kill us all” I done sold my soul, sold it to the Devil, and he won’t let me alone Done sold my soul to the Devil, my heart has turned to stone

Hebrew
The texts were mainly written in Biblical Hebrew, with some portions (notably in
Daniel and Ezra) in Biblical Aramaic. Biblical Hebrew, sometimes called
Classical Hebrew, is an archaic form of the Hebrew language. The very first
translation of the Hebrew Bible was into Greek.

Sixteen Tons Tennessee Ernie Ford

Some people say a man is made outta mud
A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
Muscle and blood and skin and bones
A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
I picked up my shovel and I walked to the mine
I loaded sixteen tons of number nine coal
And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"
You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt
Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to the company store
I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain

Fightin' and trouble are my middle name

I was raised…
