I am the RED MO π΄
from El Morito
You may call me EL MO β₯οΈ
She is ELLA MO
the Blue Monster mascot π΅
for Team Oreo β’
My beloved fellow furry π
and loving Moffur
of our yellow fur baby πΆ
I just love the way π
she devours me π
like a chocolate chip cookie πͺ
βWhoever shuts their ears to the cry of the
poor will also cry out and not be answered.β

It is said that the pen
is mightier than the sword
That the ink of the scholar
it is far holier
than the blood of the warrior
A rampage of terror
in the name of revenge
is no Way of the Martyr
In hope, faith, and love,
we could be expressions
to become true reflections
of a reality much higher
Creation in Chaos
Chaos in creation
The world is a powder keg
of tribal power
and political corruption
like a dead hand
grabbing at a neighbour’s land
driven on by the need to exceed
A greed that feeds
on violence without end
emboldened
by an unholy blessing
dressed up in the pretense
of self-righteousness
from the false prophets
of profit and loss
lost in an endless rampage
of collateral damage
never counting the cost
of a vengeful harvest
at the sanctimonious behest
of Iron Age religion
forged of steel and flame
in the cruel grip
of some anonymous beast
Creation in chaos
Chaos in creation
βFather, forgive them, for they do not
know what they are doing.β – Jesus
An almighty God
doesn’t need my feeble help
to fight to make things right
in a world divided and bitter
It is me who needs God’s help
to make me right in His sight
Then things can only get better π

How can an intrepid Galactic Republic
emissary, suspected of being a Pfizer
messenger of ribonucleic acid, get
those midichlorian antibodies past
the Trade Federation blockade?
A benign midichlorian, but you really
don’t wanna get on it’s dark side,
First it was the Mexican painter, Diego Rivera.
Whilst she drew breath, Diego
Rivera
was the love of Frida Kahlo’s life π
So much so, they got married twiceβοΈ
But Diego couldn’t keep his hands off Frida’s younger sister, Christina βπ€ So, whilst Diego and Christina π¨ποΈ painted frescoes together, Frida did a fandango on her toes and danced out the door seeking a better lover πβ€οΈ

“Beloved, let us [unselfishly] love and
seek the best for one another, for love
is from God; and everyone who loves
[others] is born of God and knows God
[through personal experience]. The one
who does not love has not become
acquainted with God [does not and
never did know Him], for God is love.”
~John the Evangelist amplified, The Book π
Six long weeks
roaming the dry crust
of a sun burnt wilderness
Nothing but rocks
and red dust
The hot desert winds
that flay the skin
… now murmuring
with words broken
of souls lost and forsaken
Perhaps it’s far better
upon this alien terrain
I finally surrender
the haunted trauma
I’ve tried in vain
to never remember?
