Are note these gods demons?

Are not these gods demons?

But those who have maintained that there are wicked gods as well as good ones have included the demons under the name “gods”…

City of God – St. Augustine


History records the interaction of men
with innumerable gods.
Are not these gods demons?

Demons possessing
super-human qualities
are among us!
This life, difficult enough,
and laborious; the curse
of God Almighty
notwithstanding

At the Library

While sitting in Taco Bell yesterday, WGF commented, "Ya know, I've got to return those library books sometime. It's really weighing on me. It's been like two years."
I asked if he wanted me to return them, but said no because it's the same as if he has to return them because, "I have to drive you." he ended.
Well, here's a little poem of the frustrations involved in going to the library....

Oh Friend of Love, Forever



This poem, Oh friend of Love, Forever was recorded live with WGF himself providing the reading. After we played it back he told me was upset with how he sounded, especially his pronunciation of the words "eternal" and "damned".

He told me he wasn't finished with it yet, but I convinced him to go ahead and get this one out to the public. Graciously he consented. WGF does not know I added some background mood music to this poem, and I'm not sure what his opinion is of this method.

One afternoon, while sipping a caramel macchiato at Border's bookstore, WGF commented to me, "Hey. You ever heard poems being read with some mood music in the background? I'm thinking about doing that sometime. My stuff could use a little spice. But on the other hand I think it's a crutch for shitty poets."

I took our brief conversation as permission to do edit his poem. Comments welcome on mood music, not WGF's poem...please.
