Oh (is it) Canada?

Oh (is it) Canada?

Our Parliament buildings look wondrous fashioned in stone
Unlike Westminster no crypts, no bodies or a single bone
Filled with portraits of many a great men
A time when nation building and discourse ended with amen

A country given birth in the Plains of Abraham
French and Indian the English they did damn
Long in its journey to go it alone,
Constitution and Charter, Trudeau took from the throne

Gone is the glory of men and fury
Now left with puppetry and a hollow jury
Politicians embattled in no true cause
Seeking justice via empty laws

Ignatieff sits perched on a cliff lost by direction
His true Brutus lays dormant in a Rae-ddish complexion
Scholar and Freemason but empty of passion
Of credibility and grit he is lacking the ration

Layton the great socialist empties his arms
Torture and justice must bring alarm
While a great singer with guitar in hand
The public will not make him leader of this great land

And what about the separatist named Duceppe
Cunning and careful a new Canada ready to prep
Wolfe draws fury in the back of his mind
A cause far much greater he still remains blind

Harper relishes in this tragic comedy
Waiting for the final sermon and eventual homily
Stern and confident in his battle plan
Unlike Louis Riel this strategist readies his clan.

Thank you,
Joseph Pede

Nothing More Than A Lark

Nothing more than a lark!

Let’s ALL stay home for a week and bask in the outdoors
Friend and neighbour could only be identified by their friendly snores
Put your feet up and let the grass grow
All mechanical or electrical equipment would be a no no

Make sure you buy enough ruffage to last the week
Stove, oven and toaster you will not be able to tweak
Store enough water to scrub each private part
Hot water and shower will be off limits, but we will allow the passing of a hardy fart

Park the car and hide the keys
A daily walk with family will quickly tire those wobbly knees
Let the oil barons play with the prices
Even if demand is zero those bastards will find a way of satisfying their vices

Of course television, PC and radio will be taboo
No porn sites, email and internet news brought to you by Yahoo
All the reality shows will be put on hold
Soon you’ll discover your family is the real pot of gold

Could we make the world stand still in each boot
Imagine a world where nothing could be made to pollute
The sky is clear of smog and nasty smell
With no BBM’s, perhaps we could even learn to respell

Now imagine if this was true for the rest of your life
An electromagnetic blanket or solar storm really could bring everlasting strife
We depend too much on industry and the multinational
It may be time to start believing again in the supernatural

Would it be wise to take your money out of a mutual fund
Return all the clothing you bought and ask for a refund
Perhaps you even have one too many car in the drive way
Your weekend lifestyle supported by Tylenol and the mortgaged chalet

This may be nothing more than a lark
Perhaps with no electricity you will have to decide in the dark
The only blessing would be that the news could no longer report
The newscasters, like Nuremberg, will stand trembling at the doors of the Higher Court.

Thank you,
Joseph Pede

Nothing

Nothing

To understand God you must understand nothing
Nothing is that form which manifests in the absence of everything
All of nothing is everything of something that is not
The sum of all things not, forms all the possibilities of that which could be

To understand evil you must understand everything
Everything is that form which manifests in the absence of nothing
All of everything is nothing of something that is
The sum of everything, forms all the possibilities of that which can no longer be

Between God and evil exists something
Something is something that exists between nothing and everything
All of something is the something of something that may have been
The sum of something forms that which could be nothing or everything.

Thanks,
Joseph Pede

Mosquitoes at Ground Zero

Mosquitoes at Ground Zero

Manhattan is abuzz with all the political views
Ground Zero reset as the stage to redefine religious taboos
The events of 911 mysterious as a black hole
Novice conspirators still lay dormant pending orders from the doomsday patrol

Ground Zero deemed as sacred as Calvary’s Cross
Veiled shadows proclaim a new radicalism is taking root aside our unforgettable loss
Christians and Jews unite to bring fear and propaganda
The disciples of Black Oil invite all to subscribe to the same memoranda

Compare a mosque to an imposing army barracks’ tent
For the invaded, incursion imposes a reality of dire malcontent
Lives interrupted and children crying
Armies grow bigger but only the natives appear to be dying

The words I forgive provide the next human dimension
Americans forget not the lost lives of your political intervention
The Pentagon predisposed in designing each friend and foe
Victims selected by the vampire-like rite of the unorthodox mosquito

Treachery weighs heavy to the marketed brain
Your reason is stalled by a big ball and chain
Improvise on what Julius Caesar said so long ago
Look deep for justice in the eyes of someone you may already know

The mosquitoes at Ground zero have drowned in dust
All the evidence destroyed through a seditious breach of trust
The mosque conceals as many criminals as synagogue and church
In blame, we simply fail to do the proper research.

Thank you,
Joseph Pede

Lorraine

Lorraine

Has Cheney gone cottaging in Haliburton
Perhaps he went deep sea diving in some gulf coast ocean
When he left office he told non-Republicans to go to hell
Could he now have something to do with an exploding oil well.

The Bushes are gone but never really
The first time you missed them they were in Dealey
They went on to invest in big oil rigs
Between murder, drugs and corruption they have covered all the gigs.

From Oswald to Obama they started the great deception
To protect democracy and capitalism is the perception
From 911, Afghanistan, Iraq and all the aggression
We have never blamed them for the latest global depression.

And what about Bernanke and the Federal Reserve
The Rothschild family connection they carefully preserve
Funding FIAT, war and terror
He proudly acts as the Masonic bearer.

For the rhetorical Obama everyone has their reservation
Unlike Jean he is Hawaiian and not Haitian
Like a Kennedy with a bold vision
Will he too meet his Lorraine with the wrong decision.

Thank you,
Joseph Pede

Long Time

Long Time

Long time since we broke some bread
Looks like a lot of gray hair has grown on the top of that head
The years have moved oh too quickly
Come to think of it, you always did look kind of sickly
Remember holding hands
Going out on Saturday nights and listening to live bands
A walk downtown to cool off the lust
Then a cold beer to wash away the dust
Home and then there was another tomorrow
I called and called but all I remember a whole lot of sorrow
Off you went into another guy’s car
You ran from love but not so far
Give me a kiss and hold me tight
Perhaps you and I are ready for this night
Time has passed but we must do our part
Give me the decades of lost love and stop breaking my heart
A hug for old glory
Then our dreams will recount the story

Thanks,
Joseph Pede

Israel: The Land of Paradigm

Israel: The Land of Paradigm

Abraham, father to both Arab and Jew
Sarah bore him a son called Isaac, and so was born the first point of view
Hagar then gave birth to Brother Ishmael
His legacy would lead to the modern day struggle for what we now know as Israel

David, Prophet and King for Arab and Jew
Jerusalem in the formation of his kingdom, was long overdue
Goliath and Bathsheba notable in David’s historic drama
Islam’s infallibility, rejected Judaism’s human failings and man-made trauma

Solomon, seven hundred wives and many a more concubine
Viagra still in the planning, but out came the wine
Solomon’s great sin was the lust for the Pharaoh’s daughter
This forsaken wisdom ultimately led Israel to a grand slaughter

Rome now the master of the new Palestine
Warrior gods and legions occupied the fallen Temple shrine
Jesus a millennia later arrived to measure the Judean loss
For Jew and now Christian His message ended on the cross

By British mandate, Israel centuries later was reborn anew
From 1948 and onward their demise Islam would continually pursue
Friend to democracy and a select few in the middle east
It has waited three score and some years for the coming of the Beast

In 2010 it sits alone and lost in Hell’s central park
Isolated and forgotten by a political lark
Netanyahu and Israel`s future
Now lays with Ishmael, Ahmadinejad and a surgeon`s suture

The Persian Priest has won the war of tactics and fear
Even for a secular Turkey this man could be Islam`s new brigadier
Israel depend not on your capitalist friend
For a long lost brother a hand may be easier to extend

In the Middle east the power structure will be a changing
Oil and power, the Capitalist Kabal is now re-arranging
Guard yourself not from the power of the atom
Be as Solomon and use your wisdom to find Islam`s peaceful stratum

Thank you,
Joseph Pede

Islam: The Power of Patience

Islam: The Power of Patience

Ali Muhammad became Imam through divine birth right
Islam split by the selection of this new Grand Knight
Shia followers to this day in his selection remain true
All be it in Iran, Yemen and Syria the numbers are few

Abu Bakr selected to a similar high order
In the House of Islam his appointment created division and disorder
Sunni Elders chose him to be Caliph and the newest Kaiser
To the Prophet Muhammad he was His greatest advisor

While this event did create one of Islam’s great schisms
So too did the ancient pyramids, formed in illusive stone prisms
Each tribe of man struggling to be God’s chosen
His decision in Mount Ararat, aboard Noah’s Ark, the answer lays frozen

Islam very seldom, given credit for their part in the human something
The three empty spaces of the Babylonians gave birth to nothing
Later Fibonacci in mathematics saw fit to call it zero
So unleashed a learning in which science became its hero

When you strike at history, be careful not to awake its passion and logic
Those we cast as barbarians may in the end be more idealogic
What western democracies describe as a dysfunctional Middle East
May be the trappings of an intelligent and patient Persian priest

Muslims have a birth rate five times higher than that of the Caucasian’s choosing
For Europe and the Americas, the battle of population the White Man is losing
Muslims dying in war at hundred times the rate of their infidel foe
Between life and death, they find comfort in both as you well know

Oil and hate continue to fuel Black Op’s aggression
Our Leaders not initiates of sorrow and past life regression
The warriors, saints and prophets had a simple message for all
Before you choose battle, wrap your hate inside the mighty prayer shawl.

Thank you,
Joseph Pede

I Offer You Jesus

I Offer You Jesus

Did the Son of Man really walk the Earth
Was immaculate conception the true nature of His birth
Were Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar the names of the illuminated Wise Men
Why the gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh when all that was needed was a simple Amen

How did Jesus acquire such wisdom
Did he travel east to follow the teachings of Gautama Buddha, and then translate them for all
of Christendom
Is this all a hoax and the reinvention of a Sumatran story
Perhaps one might say, His life was none more than an religious allegory

What possessed such a Spirit to favour the meek
How did He explain the Sabbath as the holiest day of the week
What good did it do in raising Lazarus from the dead
His own resurrection may be a falsehood they say it is said

Of divinity, if not divine, He did cross His life for all of man
Accompanied by two thieves, Mother Mary and a tiny loyal clan
His body pierced in anguish upon the tortured lumber
Nails of iron tore at His flesh as He hung in agonizing slumber

There was no scripted INRE hanging above His head
There were no crown of thorns, as the Bible, embellishingly said
His cross was made in the form of a simple Tau
The event and sacrifice Barabbas then offered up to the sacred cow

His hair was loosely curled and of a reddish hue
His short beard in the same fashion makes all other legends untrue
His agonizing brown eyes, while in dying, shed one tear
This is the manner in which the Son of Man did to me appear

He looked half way up, but not to the sky
His first thought was in why prophecy had selected such a savage way for Him to die
His loneliness upon the Cross was heart-breaking beyond belief
My body cast inside His anguish, but of Heaven He asked for no relief

Jesus, for some, was the product of flesh and bone
Albeit, through political manoeuvring Constantine with Jesus did unify his throne
The Council of Nicaea in grand style formalized His legacy and story
A bold new Christianity and Rome now rejoiced in Theocratic glory

In defining a Prophet or a God we must ask one simple question
That pronouncement asked just after your last confession
Why does Jesus still exist in the mind of man
The answer is because He existed with us before time began

Consciousness is the DNA of the immortal soul
Faith is the belief that Lucifer from us once stole
Prayer provides the answer to each question
Life the journey that may end with heavenly succession

Good and evil do exist
This is why the tribes of man find it difficult to co-exist
You have been empowered to choose your angel or demon
If you choose eternity I offer you Jesus’ semen.

Thank you,
Joseph Pede

Humanity

Humanity

Awoken from a sleepy fog
Dreams portend the mysteries of the untold journey
A cold shower to invigorate the senses
Cleansing the body of the fortnight’s passage

Clothed in uncertainty we journey anew
Strutting and pausing on broken cobble
Sitting staring, dreaming daring, challenging and then receding
Reflection a gift if only heeded

Desperation cries for day’s end
Humanity retreating to an empty shelter
Four walls mire the potential
Thoughts wallow in execution’s absence

Friend cuddled and memory wandering
Gaping beyond the matter
Joyous remembrance nudges the spirit
Imagination paints that untold potential

Lain to a uneasy rest
To conceive sin and ridicule
Forgiveness bartered for worthlessness
Finding comfort in thought and not exploit

Fear is but a comforting ally
It grows in numbers and shrinks in sanity
Standing lonely upon the unpaved road
The vestiges of humanity covers its dusty plight

I a reason for its failure
You the cause for my affliction
We not considered in the outcome
Humanity never stood a chance.

Thank you,
Joseph Pede

Harper Looks To Be Very Happy

Harper Looks to be Very Happy

First the G8 were welcomed in Muskoka
The leaders sent to bed with a scrumptious latte de coca
Sadly the fake lake did not attract any wild life
It to a picture perfect representation of controlled global strife

Lucky Toronto selected to welcome the G20 hoard
Residents as proletariats their movement restricted by metal cord
Black caped dissidents on whose flank we do not know
Staged a production in the fashion of a 1920’s silent picture show

Prime Minister Singh of India arrived by the G20`s end
Decades after Air India his people still not part of the fabric’s blend
Asia, for Harper, becoming a big foreign trade collaborator
Hu nonetheless very silent, perhaps on ice in a backroom refrigerator

Finally we end with Phillip and his Queen
Her hat filled with wasps was abashedly obscene
Monarchists so happy to see the vestiges of colonization and slavery still walk the beat
Ordinary Canadians would rather present her with shoes made of concrete

Harper looks to be very happy in his title role
For ordinary Canadians the outcome more taxes and not enough dole
And so until the next year in some faraway place
The G20 will no doubt continue their political disgrace.

Thank you,
Joseph Pede

Greece

Greece

Phythagoras a god in ancient Greece
Humanity’s understanding of mathematics he did increase
Socrates’ contribution was to the field of logic
His wisdom no doubt labelled him demagogic.

Aristotle fathered poetry and physics
It was also a time they played with eugenics
Plato philosophized of a true democracy
The times were tired of a brute aristocracy.

But what of all this history and magic
The Iliad and M MX appear more tragic
Has the glory of Hellenism come to expire
Ignorance in finance may have created the mire.

Greeks labelled lazy and idle
In anger some have turned homicidal
Branded tax evaders and not very realistic
Inevitably they have become a global statistic.

Investment bankers smug in the turmoil
Government officials a bankruptcy they could not foil
The IMF and Germany pledge ready a new tomorrow
A whole bunch of money ready to borrow.

Amidst the chaos, the sum of two ones no longer equals two
Logic sterilized by a much stranger brew
Words of poets ravage the mind
The new Democracy not very kind.

To a great people I say I am sorry
Your legacy sits lifeless on a rusted lorry
Shamed by the greed of an invisible hand
Revenge and death we await by Zeus’ command.

To Jason we beseech the golden fleece
To Alexander the Macedonian to bring a new peace
To Homer we seek the story of a new journey
To the men of evil the invocation of a flaming gurney.

Thank you,
Joseph Pede
