When Churches had Character

This beautiful portion of this church is part of an amazing building that was built when American churches had character…

Too Many Deaths to Live

By the time of day, I know,
the sun must be shining bright,
but to me it is darker than any night.
I can’t seem to find a way to pull myself out,
I’m lost in a world of demons, and devils,
of all consuming self-doubt,
and pity for myself, pathetic I know,
it can’t be helped.
There is no control over the thoughts that invade my mind;
the never-ending rush of demons that fill my consciousness tortures me.
Demons of my own creation; demons that now…control my every thought.
The very same mischievous sprites that were slowly…
and now more hastily, draining life from my pathetic body.

Still, a slow torture no matter how quickly they work.
Now, I can only hope the end is near,
the pain is unbearable, and the wait…is the life of one painful death after another.
Asking for help is a thing that is ever fleeting,
almost a thing; a thought that never excised.
Hell on earth is now a truth, having been debated throughout my existence.
There is no heaven; unless death itself is heaven: I can only hope.
I now, instead of asking for help from human kind and gods…that do not exist.

I am begging for death…

A single death…

A permanent death to hurry my way…

Out of the Fires of Hell the Vulture Soars

Out of the fires of hell the vulture soars

Seeking to feast on the carnage wrought by

Politicians and lawyers

Bankers and Wall Street traders

Business men, and women, who drive their slaves to near insanity and offer no reward for their efforts

Chieftains of “mega churches” who give their souls, not to God, but to the evil of greed as they pad their portfolios

By extremist of every stripe throughout the world

Let it be known to all of these that they are, and will be, the fuel that feeds the fires of hell that sends forth the vulture to clean up the butchery of the innocent

A Peek Inside

A peek inside the door of one of the old houses on Court Street in Lynchburg, Virginia…It seems that they are mostly lawyer’s offices as is this one.
