“Lustful Desire…
‘Tis a base Passion, from whose sink doth flow
Many base humors. ‘Tis the overthrow
Of all in whom it enters. ‘Tis an evil
Worse than to be possessed with a Devil.
This, this is that, which oft hath caused public strife,
And private discord. This makes man and wife
Grow each to other cold in their affection,
And to the very marrow sends infection.”

Some modern heads are like a marble bust,
a bust of Zeus, filled with foul perverse lust.
Most hideous thoughts make them crack a smile.
That’s why they serve old Zeus, a pedophile.
Some who profess to be wise are quite dumb
when they presume to resume a custom
which, from the greatest men, received due scorn,
a deadly custom by which no life’s born.
Same-sex deviants, it can’t be denied,
have already died in spirit. They’ve died.
Their sexual classicism’s contrived.
But what if ancient wisdom was revived?
If you dare to read on then you will see.
Assyria’s laws1 contained this decree:
“if a man has lain with his male friend and
the “charge” is “proved” then the law does demand
that the guilty “shall be made a eunuch.”
Disgust at this justice proves one is sick,
for some would say that law’s not up to snuff,
and it didn’t nearly go far enough.
1450 to 1250 BC
are the dates for those laws from history.
But if you don’t like that criteria
let’s try Egypt and not Assyria:
About 2,000 years before Christ
there came forth a text from Egypt’s Zeitgeist.
Its famed title is: The Book of the Dead.
It should shatter the modern Zeus’s head.
Focus, if truth is what you yearn to learn:
To a “god”2 who comes forth from a cavern
of deep ancient occult obscurity,
Egyptians confessed their purity.
They disavowed sin again and again:
including the sin of having “lain with men.”
But if you ask about the gold calf-whore,
who was known as Baalat and Hathor,
then I’ll say, “Cut her people limb from limb.”
To “Hathor– the Golden One,” there’s a hymn
from Medamud’s temple, and “Drunkenness”
was its Festival’s name. Then, they’d undress
after feeding Hathor drinks, dance, and praise;
but this doesn’t prove that they were being “gays”!
Hathor’s Hymn and drunken night-time orgy
hints that Egypt suffered apostasy.
After Hathor by, say, 2,000 years,
Egypt was harassed by occultic queers.
About 500 years after the Christ,
a spell was cast to do a perverse heist.
By powers, amulets, dwellings, and names
of demons, a Copt3 tried to kindle flames,
flames of sodomite lust in a monk’s heart
(but pierced his own soul with a poison dart).
Papalo wanted to bind the monk Phello.
(A man like Papalo’s a cursed fellow.)
If Phello wanted to “stand,” “sit,” or “sleep,”
then Papalo wanted the demons to keep
Phello from finding any rest at all,
until a raging lust drove him to call
on Papalo, and madly chase him down,
through fields, cities, regions, and town to town.
Now, I’ve gone too long. Let me move faster,
and weigh thoughts of Persia’s Zoroaster4.
In short, it is asked “which man is a demon?”
Answer: the man who releases semen
in sinful sex acts with men, “as man lies”
with womankind. Even “before he dies”
he’s a “Daeva,” becomes an unseen one
after death too. Iran deemed it no fun
to be “gay” about 500 BC
when Jewry was there in captivity,
held for 70 sad years as exiles.
Now, quick, let’s travel back west a few miles,
to pagan Greece, to Plato’s work on Laws.
Maybe he’ll indulge modern pagan flaws.
On such a gamble we would have to bust!
The bold attempt’s “due to unbridled lust”;
so says Plato’s “Athenian Stranger5,”
whose words, “bold attempt,” indicate danger.
He says same-sex craving’s against nature,
and thus aligns with Yah’s legislature.
Our body’s a Temple housing God’s breath.
Defilers of it court torments after death.

31. O Maker of the material world, thou Holy One! Who is the man that is a Daeva? Who is he that is a worshipper of the Daevas? that is a male paramour of the Daevas? that is a female paramour of the Daevas? that is a wife to the Daeva34? that is as bad as a Daeva: that is in his whole being a Daeva? Who is he that is a Daeva before he dies, and becomes one of the unseen Daevas after death [commentary: Demons are often the restless souls of the wicked, excluded from heaven. The Persian sect of the Mahabadians, believed that the soul that had not spoken and done good became an Ahriman or jinn (Dabestan)]? 32. Ahura Mazda answered: ‘The man that lies with mankind as man lies with womankind, or as woman lies with mankind, is the man that is a Daeva; this one is the man that is a worshipper of the Daevas, that is a male paramour of the Daevas, that is a female paramour of the Daevas, that is a wife to the Daeva; this is the man that is as bad as a Daeva, that is in his whole being a Daeva; this is the man that is a Daeva before he dies, and becomes one of the unseen Daevas after death: so is he, whether he has lain with mankind as mankind, or as womankind.’

“I think that the pleasure is to be deemed natural which arises out of the intercourse between men and women; but that the intercourse of men with men, or of women with women, is contrary to nature, and that the bold attempt was originally due to unbridled lust.”
