Bloodline Of My Children

He out those genes into the bloodline and,
Of the woman that gave birth to his children;
But every one is judged for what they do on this earth.

The inner garment is what you need,
And with the discomfort acts during the time of trouble;
But the nuclear fires will comsume the earth.

I want to know what is in your heart and,
What you deserve from me;
For the worth of my love is what you need,
Because my genes will be needed in the bloodline of my children!

Will you go to Yahweh Shammah with me? !
For there is the truth and you will become my lover! !
And the miracles around will come into your muse,
But the recorded history is here to guide us.

Rejoice and see the day of brightness with me,
And just like the others who lived long ago;

Some men by ancestry are only the shadow of a mighty name.

Today... 'Jesus Christ

He's the Son of God and the Son of Man.
and now step by step we can trace God's plan.
For His human ancestry can be seen
through the lives of those that have walked this scene.

The genealogy of the Messiah
we trace from Abraham through to Josiah
On throughout each ancestors life and death
until we come to the man called Joseph.

By The Spirit conceived, The Promised One
Jesus Christ, God's Only Belovèd Son
brought God's wondrous Grace and Truth to the earth
when born in a stable by virgin birth.

A scampering run in labyrinth

Bilaterally, they started their journey.
But there is no any trace of ancestors.
Their tombs covered with grass.
We grass roots continue our journey.
It seems that according to a certain order by a hidden enforcement?
The old coloured lodgings here & there with their brassy new names.
We stay a night or two then proceed onwards.
The conviction in everybody's mind that hides the careworn?
We pretend as perfect but we are the carbon copies of our hazy Ancestries.

Indeed, if a chief question does remain: how is the power to think possible? - The power to think right and left, before and without, with and above experience? then it does not take a deduction to prove the genealogical priority of language.

Names

There's more meaning in names
Than sometimes we know it
My name in old Manx
Is Teige - a poet!

In the world day to day
My name shall Keig be
But for poems i think
I'll use Teige for me.

(the derivation of my surname is something i only discovered this morning!)

Earthworm Descent

Love watching earthworms
at night, with a flash light
shining on them as
they make their descent
into the ground.

So slimy are they
but so fun to try
and catch them
before they make
their descent
into the ground.

As a child used
to go into backyard
in search of the
earthworm watching
as it burrows into
the soil,
tying so hard to

The Tree-Frog Pedigree

Our great ancestor, Polly Wog,
With her cousin, Thaddeus Pole,
Eloped from her home in an Irish bog,
And crossing the sea on the 'Mayflower's' log,
At the risk of body and soul,
Married a Frog; and thus, you see,
How we come by a place in the family-tree
And the family name, Tree-frog.

Valentine Lines

His name is Drack Valentine
DNA design more crude than fine
This fella from vagina spat
A strange bloodline

With a spank on the ass he was sent
out into this land
Being a constant little shit
often meeting a solid backhand

At the tender age of seven
At school he did learn
The wonders of heaven
And the fires he would burn

He's a man now you see
All grown up and tall
He has a little daughter
She once like him very small

Prophecy Of Head And Heel Wounds

Goliath’s head David dragged to Jerusalem
buried under Golgotha Skull Place impaled
Calvary to be place where Adam Eve sinned
David commanded by God Goliath’s head

here buried beneath this spot in Jerusalem
to fulfill God’s prophecy to his bloodline
God’s judgement on shinning one Satan
Moses by Holy Spirit this promise penned

'And I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise
you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel'
Genesis 3: 15.

blood of Christ washes over Goliath’s head
at Calvary the messiah bloodline of David
through Mary will this prophecy time be fulfilled
