“Just keep on walking!”
I saw a werewolf
with a hymn book in his hand
prowling around
as he sniffed the ground
from Jonestown to Gaza
He’s that well manicured gent
some say he is heaven sent
Huh, I’d like to meet his tailor
You can hear him howling
on your television set
Better not turn it on
Little old lady got bitten
late last night
Werewolves of religion again
. . . Ooh Ahh
A most sanctimonious
dish licker
House trained
ordained
and chain ganged
A holy roller rock spider
The High Oppressor
and possessor
of the sacred
processed cookie cutter
A common deviator
and ruthless denominator
The bottom feeder
from an archaic crypt
of a seductive
and destructive error
Misgiving readings
from a counterfeit script
in the palm
of an omega predator
and an alpha hypocrite
Hunting little tiger
Out for a bite
Stalking the night
Keep an eye on your son
Best lock up your daughter
Werewolves of Religion
deviants of Christendom
peddling science fiction
from some dead
and buried author
with fantasies of flight
aboard a dianetic cruise
Like a tom cat on heat
with the romcom blues
A diffuser of confusion
defusing the light
Preaching in part
yet with every action
and reaction
denying the total sum
of Kingdom come
Out of his right mind
by the hand of slight
hidden out of plain sight
the highly refined
and cultured lupine
beguiling the gullible
absurding the improbable
“Nothing is impossible.
All roads lead to Nirvana,
but my way is much better!”
Packaging and marketing
the celestial sublime
If you don’t own the patent
… isn’t that a crime?
Like ringing the bell
and knocking the door
for imaginary points
that you need to score
Lame as taking alms
from the desperate poor
to feed the Big Empty
Like zealous zombies
of the highly contagious
driven by hunger pangs
insatiable and ferocious
for that crazy phariee yeast
from the the belly of the beast
and of course
a good seat at his table
Along with a gang
of A-list celebrities
all baring their fangs
A Hollywood photo opportunity
for the spiritual vultures
of los demonios paparazzi
I saw a werewolf
smoking a cuban cigar
whilst howling at the moon
to the tune of ‘Instant Karma’
I saw a werewolf
at Club Nirvana
dancing with Che Guevara
doing The Werewolves of Martyrdom
Yes, I’m sure
I saw a werewolf
You could tell
by his deadly fruit
Wearing an Armani suit
whilst blessing the troops
at Armageddon
His hair was perfect
just like John Travolta’s
in Saturday Night Fever
. . . Ooh Ahh
Of paradiso promises broken
within the thin air of despair
upon a dance floor forsaken
and a multitude
of barking voices
Don’t be sheep skinned
Enslaved by neolithic religion
rebranded in “New Age” drag
then mauled by superstition
Don’t allow a rabid wolf
to stand between you
and the ever loving truth
The insanity of humanity
hell bent
and then torn in half
Bent over some or other
always yet another
… golden calf
My empirical proof of truth;
Does it deliver true freedom
or the destructive bondage
of a deceptive delusion
along with an over dosage
of divisive division?
A question in the seeking
For before the sun arises
there is darkness
And with certainty …
a full moon is coming

“To all my nonbelieving,

I am sorry that so often the
biggest obstacle to God has been
Christians. Christians who have
had so much to say with our mouths,

I am sorry that so often we have
forgotten. the Christ of our
Christianity. Forgive us.
Forgive us for the embarrassing

I read these lines and was blown away.
I was bitten by a werewolf, seems like yesterday.
He was dressed up in a psych degree, lewd smirk, and body odor.
I was there, a sinner, by my (Bible) college order.
I broke the rules, was shunned, shamed and pariah’d.
His answer? “Let’s sin together, then a pray-yah!”
I walked out from his office (and the college) in disgust.
I took that final straw, and with it all, burned it into dust.
(nf).
This poem you wrote is so powerful and is really close to the bone for me. I wanted to write yesterday after I read it, but yesterday got away. I’ve missed visiting your blog. Thank you for writing this poem David. I love it, more than words can say. This needs to be read by everyone who has burned it all after breaking their heart on the falsehood of religion. Religion is meant to control and enslave. It is a construct. Jesus sat on a hill to speak. If he were here, I think he’d be overturning every table labeled “religion.” Thank you for sharing that quote at the end too.

Jesus declared that the

he had come to set us free.
He reserved.his harshest rebukes for the judgemental,
self righteous, and corrupted
leaders of religion. I believe
Jesus Christ himself, in person,
is the way, the truth, and the light. Jesus is my spirituality.
We have his teachings, his
words plain and simple, no need
for theological interpretations.
So, I guess that makes me a
fundamental … but no need
to get all religious about it,
because I’ve been set free.

These last few comments, David, remind me of the 4 years I lived in Vancouver and there were a group of Richard Dawkins admiring militant atheist types who always had an information booth tent in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
The sign above their tent read, If you believe in God, you might as well believe in vampires, werewolves, ghosts, leprechauns, unicorns and fairies.
I felt like going up to them some day and saying, I believe in all of those.
But then I moved from Vancouver and I never did.

Richard Dawkins is a very sad man.
Like a boy who thinks he’s found out
that Santa Claus isn’t real, so must
go bursting the Christmas bubble
of all the other little kids.
His view that the Universe is about
the mathematics, with no room for
the spiritual, makes this existence
a cold hard place. His fear is that if
he concedes any possible glimmer
of a spiritual realm, he must also
accept the possibility of a creator
God. Dawkins really does needs to
get out and about more, instead of
being struck in a sterile laboratory.

I wonder, David, just looking at the pictures of people with halos, (although I can find nothing Online to confirm my wondering, but then the religious powers-that-be do not like freethinkers who question their orthodoxy,) is the origin of the halo to be found in the mystery and fertility cults of ancient Babylonia? The sun was regarded by them as the glans of God. And the glans itself was likened to the sacred mushroom which opened up the mind to other realities, other divine worlds… And also there is the migraine aura which has been likened to the light that breaks through dark nimbus clouds. And so on.

We do have auras. I think it’s more
scientific that mystic. The ability to
see it may simply be genetic. I’m
sure my cat can see it. New age
con artists, like fortune tellers, often
claim to have the “gift” as they flatter
and fleece the gullible. Perhaps
particularly spiritual people in the
past have emitted a visible glow?
But I believe it would be mostly in
the spiritual eye of the beholder.
I did read Aldous Huxley’s
`The Doors of Perception`, and
`The Sacred Mushroom and the
Cross` by John Marco Allegro.
So I’m convinced that the
inspiration for much of the religious
art of the ancients was psychotropic
… in part. Much like today 😎

Another thought occurs to me David, namely, this: werewolves as well as witches were persecuted by the Church. The reason these ‘shamans’ were persecuted and tortured (by the Inquisition) has much to do with the sacred mushroom. I believe that the ancients of the Americas believed in creatures they called ‘were-jaguars’. Of course the Church missionaries would have none of it. Probably the only thing that really interested them was the abundance of El Dorado-ean gold…

I imagine Christ looking down at the world and soughing over “What has become of my original Christianity?” Roman Catholics, Baptists, Lutherans, Mormons, the First Church of Whatever, and on and on. And members deciding which one will especially suit their forgiveness of sins or concepts of Heaven (some believe in 7 layers), Hell, Purgatory and Limbo. How I hated the old confessional days!

“And don’t miss out on our easily
affordable, once in a lifetime,
exclusive offer, brother, as heaven
just can’t let anyone in!”
It always amazes me that something
so pure and inclusive as the teachings
of Jesus Christ can be corrupted and
twisted in the hands of religiosity.
“There is neither Jew nor Gentile,
neither slave nor free, nor is there
male and female, for you are all
one in Christ Jesus.”
~ Paul, the Apostle
