***************

The Papacy is
an empire of secret thoughts
and obscene desires

***************

A man’s religion
may be erroneous; so
also his judgment

***************

Lust is immortal,
and the fruit thereof is the
privilege of flesh

***************

Prudence is nothing
but glory arising from
the chains of virtue

***************

The inclination
of all mankind is toward
perpetual death

***************

Gluttony endures
storms of conscience to voyage
on seas of pleasure

***************

The earth itself is
a commodious prison
of gravitation

***************

Absurdity is
the mother of heresy
and profane laughter

***************

We endure the grave
authority of nature
with restless horror

***************

Not believing in
art is not believing in
the future of time

***************

Dada is the false
mirror that reflects the light
of the hereafter

***************

A free tram ticket
to eternity is the
best class distinction

***************

We must erase all
the boundaries between junk
heaps and rubbish heaps

***************

Invest in chaos,
deform the sublime and play
only in attics

***************

It is essential
to take a spiritual
interest in walls

***************

The bourgeoisie is
as unimportant as the
proletariat

***************

Time is mere money . . .
Art is a self-sufficient
factory-made bank

***************

Paste noon and midnight
together and you’ll swindle
demanding morning

Metal Assemblage #5: Megadeth Song Titles

February 22, 2011

Polaris lost in
wanderlust, a sleepwalker
in the universe,

a black island of
insomnia, vortex of
abominations.

Polaris liar,
honor a holy poison,
dread consequences

of fugitive truth
a soul disconnect, psycho
symphony of worms.

Polaris insane,
absolution a blood dream,
the reckoning sealed,

prisoner of dead
ecstasy, punishment on
a cross of ashes.

Polaris mourning,
lungs afire, mouth burning with
the chaos of time,

conjuring a dawn
of extinction, tornado
of scorpion tears.

de Sade

***************

Sensual excess
is the greatest of all man’s
moral principles

***************

A poor fool indeed
is he who adopts the Church
as his sole mistress

***************

Philosophy is
fiction to titillate the
imagination

***************

God loves the lust of
the wanton theologian . . .
And God will be served

***************

The flame of pain lights
the torch of torment—hence life
is agreeable

***************

The only way to
a man’s heart is through the plucked
flower of deathlust

***************

Equilibrium
can be maintained only through
the triumph of sex

***************

Chastity is the
vehicle by which woman
deceives reverence

***************

Nature subsists on
anarchy; Providence on
cruelty and vice

Metal Assemblage #4: Slayer Song Titles

February 12, 2011

Black arteries! I
am reborn in the dead skin
of a crypt, my face

a doll’s skeleton
flesh, hardening into an
eternity mask,

a chemical hell
cleanse, the hallowed head of an
angel tormentor.

I’ve got snuff eyes. Red
soul-spill stains the boundaries
of my perversion,

a threshold cast down
in fields of screaming abyss,
bitter fire’s exile.

Deviance is a
serenity serenade;
epidemic death

sex is the cult of
blood ghost sacrifice, magic
art of divine mind.

Postmortem payback—
love chapel of a painted
catatonic God.

Metal Assemblage #3: Metallica Song Titles

February 8, 2011

Shoot me, Judas! I
am disposable, leper-
scarred by the Devil’s

messiah eye, no
escape from the cyanide
fire. The whiplash kiss

of the Slither Prince—
an invisible lyric
calls to me, creeping

within like black ice.
God is a frayed phantom, failed
anesthesia, king

of the wasting fade,
lord of remorse. I roam my
nightmare memory,

bleeding hands pull the
remains of the day through the
dirty redemption

that is never death.
Trapped in the sanity of
suicide sorrows,

the blackened windows
of puppet sleep purify
nothing. Misery!

The apocalypse
monster never comes . . . There is
no cure for this life.

Metal Assemblage #2: Anthrax Song Titles

February 5, 2011

Subjugator of
time, death-ho Medusa in
death-glo, aftershocks

of invisible
misery, burst belly a
fat red catharsis.

The howling river
is a living schism, thrashing
in perpetual

idiot discharge.
I am the Alpha Mind, king
of my panic world.

My skeleton law
is madhouse blood justice, the
Furies’ finale.

Random acts of love
are senseless—we will die like
denied hogs caught in

the bare crush of here,
the end nothing but horror
among the mad stands,

toast of Pompeii.
Refuse to laugh—life is an
imitation death.

The only exit
is in a black metal box . . .
Strap on the hate beast.

Marshall McLuhan

***************

Politics is the
cave art of the modern world . . .
Magic uselessness

***************

Advertising is
a numbing blow from which we
never recover

***************

Education is
public manipulation
as entertainment

***************

I wouldn’t have seen
it if I hadn’t believed
in television

***************

The medium is
the spaceship . . . The message is
immortality

***************

Affluence creates
insatiable appetite
and very poor art

***************

Processed goods, packaged
entertainment, canned music . . .
We need war fever

***************

The sex organs of
the corporate machine will
fecundate like bees

***************

Art is whatever
your senses have been programmed
to think it is not

***************

Your nervous system
needs protection from man-made
consumer circuits

Metal Assemblage #1: Black Sabbath Song Titles

January 27, 2011

Funeral of an
embryo God, sweet haunting
forever of the

spiral grave. Step up
to the electric void, dream
behind the wall of

neon confusion.
Doom wears iron boots. The Dark
Priest, architect of

Valhalla, evil
cloaked in the seventh sun, wheels
into the dance of

insanity, a
paranoid war orchid of
solitude buried

under a lost cross.
Headless wasps shining in black
sunrise, born snowblind

in the thorns of an
eternal Eden, the night
dying for the sins

of the forbidden.
Kiss the illusion writ by
the warrior who

kills for the thrill of
the wizard sphinx, sleeping when
deathshock comes to the

guardian of the
universe. Vision of the
cradle of Odin’s

daughter, a bloody
gypsy finger of warning.
Nightmare of Stonehenge,

the Cardinal close
to the angel’s rusty chains.
Girl-dirty moving

parts, angry, scarlet,
the hot-machine deception
immaculate, Lord.

Cornucopia
love dagger, voodoo heart zone,
falling over and

over into the
wishing hole. Glory star gone . . .
Father Time zero.

The Bop Apocalypse, Foretold in Sun Ra LP Titles

January 26, 2011

The futuristic
future calling for purple
satellite magic.

Outer space pathways
incorporated in rock-
stop tomorrow worlds.

Angels play in the
spaceways to Plutonia
on dream monorails.

Medicine jazz for
the mythic city where noise
of freedom meets night.

Joyful melodies
on the road to Jupiter . . .
Nile moon lullaby.

Song of the second
Earth . . . Nubian cosmos and
Sirius respect.

Strange visions of the
interplanetary ark
in the blue somewhere.

Heliocentric
universe cast in antique
media shadows.

Astro demons of
Atlantis united in
celestial nightmare.

Comet war . . . a black
rocket of discipline and
the cage of sunset.

Nuclear Janus . . .
dark equation after the
end of cosmic time.

Visitation of
the creator . . . the delight
of chaos . . . nothing.

Biometric Mind

Strategic tools will
manage intelligence and
safeguard collection

creep. Information
priorities will provide
dissemination

of relevant text
compendia. Updates and
key field assessments:

Burkina Faso
telephone directories
are compliant with

disease taxation
issues and vice video
data trafficking.

Armed fax tactics in
North Korea subvert all
territorial

boundaries. Frequent
flyer account numbers from
Ethiopia

require deployment
of Reliberation Force
to assist war crimes

and systematic
human rights abuses. E-
mail listings in France

reflect the results
of the misuse of famine.
Sudanese prepaid

calling cards are a
roadmap of corruption and
piracy. Very

small apertures are
maintained; food encryption is
standard protocol.

Religion is a
firewall; allocate upgrades
to protect systems.

The Arms Posture Zone

Irresponsible
technology is very
aggressive. Restraint

is a big picture
with a small budget and a
negative quid pro

quo. Disarmament
is hard work, but national
security is

harder work; peaceful
negotiations can fall
apart like Egypt.

Nuclear testing
procedures, even when they’re
presented clearly,

have about as much
legitimacy as a
Russian civil rights

agenda. Fissile
material is better
public relations

than all the rice in
China. Contentious issues!
Civil discussions

are not possible.
Nonproliferation is
a good story but

the simple fact is
counter-proliferation
is a better one.

Please stockpile hatred.
Moral authority has
tampered with mankind.

Reining in red ink
is tangible; reining in
Pakistan is not.

Human Reluctance

Protection is the
situation. Expand the
engagement with drug

envoys. Sudanese
operational failure
is a strategic

narcotics land mine.
Darfur warlords directed
to combat whistle

blowers. Locally-
hired rebel groups will secure
chemical weapons

mandates. (Geneva
Convention rules reduction.)
Tuberculosis

will proliferate.
Malaria and smallpox
are priorities.

Perceived health crises
and persistent pollutants
render assistance.

Nuclear vaccines,
counterfeit medications,
reproductive fraud

and the corruption
of women and children are
not rights abuses.

Introduce stocks of
infectious bio-data.
Helicopters and

ground troops are a peace-
keeping waste. Men will be an
endangered species.

Mugabe Carrot

Feelers about deal
that involves departure. The
writing on the wall,

is willing to step
down, take shady retirement
package, a way out

of disaster. Is
focused on forging graceful
exit, national

interest, ease out,
dignified way that preserves
legacy. Willing

to agree to go
if sufficient resources
and amnesty are

offered in Chile
or Argentina. We must
overcome mistrust

of key white business
sector or Lever Brothers
board will undermine.

Incentive: silver
“redistribution” plan and
Libyan payoff,

back-channel funds from
British and Americans.
Clock is ticking on

reelection and
ability to govern.
Zimbabwe trainwreck

not acceptable
scenario, genuine
damage consensus.

Sweeten offer and
provide real safehaven.
No opposition.
