The Devil's Sex

The epidemic sin, tatoos and casual sex

Red carpet is moraless scarlet letter 
Unfolding as the wind blown weather

Peeling away to skins on inked cartoons
And lust-er, all around and beyond her

 

Cleopatra, Aphreditie, Mrs. Jolie; Jezabels
Portraying sheer nudes in flagrant attitudes
Artists claim to be like minded men
Which fall away here too

 

They mumble forget the light of Christ
Until fantasies sacrifice the souls
Casualties of war in heaven then Earth to hell
One way ecstasies down long and windy roads

 

Are they ever coming back from the devil sex
Not as long it's kept, believing it's romance
Outward they will grow older and bolder
Rounded corners of a blackened mind offense

 

But, others keep becoming younger and hunger

Fame and fortune is all for generation Y
And where are any ideas of righteousness in this
Upon the walkways of life, stains next to spit

Hear, hear, the words of wisdom! :) Wonderfully-penned, Mike.

[Michael G. Smith]

Thanks, many people want to shoot the messenger but I just tried to reiterate the words of Christ.

[ms. barrie]

I respect your strong belief in your faith...it's when you hold
dear to your heart. I usually hold back my opinion, hold things back.

I'm of an opposite faith, and yes, I'm Jewish. I hold a strong belief in
Love, kindness and justice, my G_d believes in forgiveness,
Celebrating life, the here and now. Men and women have both been
Proven to be sinful....there is nothing wrong with expressing affectionate
Desires with one's we're attracted to as long as there is a deep understanding
Of where both parties want from each other, etc. and aren't hurting others
(Cheating, lack of responsibility, regarding sexual health.) A women can
Be full of lust, just as a man is...yet a man is celebrated with how
Many sexual
conquests he has. A women is condemn ed for it. She's suppose
To be submissive and demure, all sweetness and sugar, just shut her up,
And have her suppress her sexual desires. Secretly pleasure herself if need be,
(Oh but if that is ever gets out...she's sick!)
When she's alone. How fair is that? Humans are sexual creatures.
Regardless of whether they accept the light of Christ or not.

There is nothing wrong with nudity...G_d created it and the human
Body is one most fascinating machines ever created...again by G_d.
Should be more concerned when something is actually wrong
With the body.
Live and let live and love all, just keep a distance from those
You need to. We're all one. We have our own private hells
To work through to become evolved. Only G_d can judge us
When we reach our demise.

I honestly mean no offense, this is just my opinion on this matter.
In regards to this poem:
This is eloquently written with great imagery and flow. Great job!

Thank you, Frieda for pointing out that information
Regarding the Holocaust.

[Frieda P]

There's nothing I abhor more than injustice and pontificating hypocrites and the church seems to be full to the tippy top of the Vatican with those....

[ms. barrie]

:) Frieda, a lot of those in power knew or at least heard
About what the atrocities going on in Auschwitz, and turned
A blind eye, not.only on Jews, but also those who were not
Of the Ayran race...or Germans marrying Jews, homosexuals, etc

I do/did not
Mean offend the Author upon this write, or start anything.
Everyone is entitled to their beliefs, faiths

It's just my honest opinion, that's all.

[Frieda P]

And that's the biggest offense to mankind in my estimation, so don't preach the gospel when you turn your back on millions who are being slaughtered. I understand exactly where you're coming from Barrie, but those who wears blinders under the guise of religion are the worst offenders in my book...

[ms. barrie]

I agree and also understand...men and women,
To quote Bono "we hurt each other, and we'll do it again" :)

[Frieda P]

AMEN to that...unfortunately.

[ms. barrie]

:)))))))))))))))

[Frieda P]

Mike is probably going to delete us, so what the hey. ;-P

[ms. barrie]

Like I said I didn't mean to offend anyone but I don't
Think I said anything very rude. It's more of observation
Regarding how a woman cannot express her desires
Of affection to the one she wants to be with, even her
Sexuality, we all have hormones, sparks chemistry...
Yet a man can be boastful and express his. Women,
Are made to feel ashamed. A penis is a penis and a
Boobie is a boobie. Most men have one, and
most women have two

[Frieda P]

Ha we win.....I don't think you were offensive in the least, but it's not my thread. It'll always be a man's world, you know that Barrie, no matter how liberated we think we are....

[ms. barrie]

I know, that's why my heroine is Lilith. Thank you ron.

[Frieda P]

Oh god ron, you just didn't go there, did you?

[ms. barrie]

Knock his teeth out

[Frieda P]

Mike is going to have a canary when he gets back here, that's a totally different discussion, about equality and sexual beings...

[Frieda P]

Here I thought you had common sense ron..........

[ms. barrie]

I will nod my head in my reviews as sporadic as they are and
State "good poem" - I promise to be good for now on :)

[ron]

I guess the cats out of the bag, I'm just a normal guy :)

[Frieda P]

Pssh and tush @ ron....good luck with that Barrie, too late now ;-)

[ms. barrie]

Define normal

[Frieda P]

Setting on my dishwasher............

[ms. barrie]

Lol Frieda, :)))))))

[ron]

I just couldn't resist trying to ruffle your feathers you two :)

[Frieda P]

Ha and it's ain't so hot. ;-)

[Frieda P]

Pfft nice try dear.........

[ms. barrie]

There goes my first featured review :))) xox you both!

[ms. barrie]

True ron I will now pass the bong and sing the theme song to "Hair"

[ron]

Lol.......

[Frieda P]

Laughing here Barrie, kumbaya would probably be more appropriate. haa

[ms. barrie]

Sadly, I did not know how to spell that...plus I like age of Aquarius
Better :) lol

[Frieda P]

Did you know the oldest known holocaust survivor died last month at 110 Barrie?

[ms. barrie]

Yes, amazing to live up till that age!

[Frieda P]

Random I know, just thought of it....really amazing when you think of her history....the human spirit is resilient.

[ms. barrie]

That it is :))))))

[Rob Santana]

One helluva review Barrie. I agree 100%!!!! Bravo!!!!

[Cryingkate]

I can't keep my two cents. i gotta spend em now . Ron you gave me a good chuckle LOl your basically saying you would spend your iheritance for a bowl of sex LOL...ROFL...

Just a Reminder here that the Jews were not the only ones here in history that had a holocaust.
My People did too and many more. Somewhere somehow we need to stand up as one people without religions separation and just rid the evil parasites that uses religious differences against one another.

[Frieda P]

Hear hear Connie, I didn't mean to only single out the Jews, it's just the more obvious example....

[ms. barrie]

Thank you, Rob...I didn't mean to offend anyone...just how I
Feel.

[Cryingkate]

YEah I think that's it LOL... I don't think it's actually the different faiths doing all the satanic things. It's the Satanic ones causing strife in the middle of them all.
There is a snake in the grass causing menace everywhere.But oh the evil done at the Vatican.....

dead bodies and heads preserved for the return of an evil end days reign, The millions of skeletons in the basements of these supposed sanctuaries? The Evil rituals, and did ya ever look up the inquisition and their torture devices?
It's enough to make ya vomit. Just looking at photos.
The horror stories from Nuns who told.
Did ya ever read the decree the Jesuits signed? it's putrid.

[ms. barrie]

I am done with this thread. I just wanted to put state my opinion
And even though I did not agree with the topic at hand, I did enjoy
How this poem was written, period.

[Rob Santana]

Now will all the women on this thread KINDLY HUSH UP!!! This is Rob a MAN speaking!! I'm hungry Frieda make me something to eat!!!!! LMAO.

[Frieda P]

I concur Barrie, we are here afterall for the poetry....

[Frieda P]

Ha making homemade pizza Rob, you game? ;-)

[Rob Santana]

Oh hell yeah. Women are the best!!!!! (Sometimes) :)

[Frieda P]

Ha the way to a man's heart and all that jazz, yep. ;-)

[Cryingkate]

Oh come on... It was a great poem, I was enjoying the discussion. Sorry Rob No man could ever hush me up !
I am a free Spirit my father couldn't hush me up. He said if I didn't like it I could leave. So at twelve I left. Note: I said it seriously with a smile... No war.. just saying...And hope no one took to my two cents as an argument . I was only saying my two cents.
Freida, all is well :-) I wasn't arguing that you were singling out the Jews. I was just stating for purposes of acknowledgment some people do not know.

[Rob Santana]

I'm only messing around girls. SHEEESH

[Cryingkate]

Rob, your ok.. it's all OK, No Cardinal Sins 3 hail Mary's will cover it all :-)

[Cryingkate]

The Light of Christ is within.
The Christ relationship is thru Spirit not flesh.
It's taking on the mind of Christ.
Religious Dogma's and Conceptions born of Religious Gov. Rulerships have no place in the Spirit's relationship with The Christ.
I have found that those who judge and point finger at others are guilty of what they condemn.
They are so lost in their own conceptions of being pardoned that they become haters of themselves and hide this hate behind condemnation.
A True Love of Christ would be of humble Spirit and would bring word of salvation to others thru way of Love and kindness and bringing forth the light by way of Love.

"Let he without sin cast the first stone"
If you are throwing stones you should know that you need to forgive yourself first. Go find that light of true forgiveness yourself.The lack of forgiving yourself is causing you to throw stones at others instead of finding your own salvation.

[Michael G. Smith]

Amen, we'll said.

[Cryingkate]

Your sayings aren't so bad either :-) I hear you

[ron]

And what of those who practice witchcraft for good? Are they to damned to he'll?

[Michael G. Smith]

Good question, thanks.

[Rita L. Sev]

Though I would not paint all celebrities with the same brush, labeling them as "sinful", I see what your message is here, Mike. Personal freedoms are wonderful, but one must proceed with prudence and think about the state of their own soul...

[Michael G. Smith]

But, we are all sinful are we not. My knowledge of their lives comes from my experiences of living toward the same sinful goals before I choose to serve Christ the master. It is he himself you taught that any sexual acts outside the bounds of marriage is regarded as a degree of sin only shadowed by murder, meaning it is very grievous because it kills the soul. Please don't shoot the messenger. I cannot deny things taught through the spirit only keep my promise to share his happiness and stand to fight evil.

[Rita L. Sev]

Not griping to the messenger at all. I respect your message, Mike. Everyone must find the path that leads them to salvation, however that is perceived.

[Nik DiCarlo]

I love the exploration of lustful women in this piece. What I took from this was that everybody loves them yes, but their souls are damned to hell.

Keep questioning and exploring the dark corners of your mind! Great job.

[Michael G. Smith]

Thank you for your awesome insights, it's that a majority of us don't comprehend the destruction it reeks upon our souls, We become numb to our Creator by distancing ourselves from our own divine spirits and true happiness eludes us. Your review put a smile on my face.

[Michael G. Smith]

The miracle of Christ is that we have the atonement and through repentance to be cleansed of or sins.

[A. Amos]

Mike I love the the title and the whole write simply amazing...

[Michael G. Smith]

As I have found happiness in a more opened eye to eternal consequences I want to share that knowledge seeing those still on the other side of the wall. Amos, I truly appreciate your comments. It seems I am a philosopher wrapped in the guise of an ordinary man.

[A. Amos]

Mike you are not ordinary as you are man of wisdom

[James Hanna-Magill]

Dear Michael

First thing to say. It saddens me that I am the first to have reviewed this piece.

Your writing, which I consider to be quality, deserves better of us all.

Sometimes I read every word. I will at first. Then I will read again and again and just let the feeling of the piece take over.

I related to this piece.

Whilst I may have had more casual sex than might be regarded as usual in the world of those who do casual sex, I have always preferred the comfort and warmth of long term relationships.

Whilst all have failed, I am pleased to report, I am back in the morality and mutual love of what I hope to be my last.

Angelina Jolie, Aphrodite ... all symbols of the passing, the merely erotic.

Sex is passing.

But giving life a meaning, the light of Christ as you put it, righteousness last longer and are the only things that do endure and have significance.

Thank you for sharing.

I enjoyed and was stimulated by the read.

With my best wishes as ever


James

[Michael G. Smith]

Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Thanks for your kind words.

[Michael G. Smith]

James, I reread your review and just enjoyed the fact that you acknowledge how our choices can affect our happiness. Although ignorance is not sin. until we fully understand the nature of our acts is when consequences for them change. Again, this is a great review.

[James Hanna-Magill]

Dear Michael. Thank you. I agree entirely with your philosophy. James

[Michael G. Smith]

If you are inclined not to comment on this, please tell me why.
