If I ever say that a fellow villain of mine “asked for it,” then please consider me the worse villain.

To Sit Upon The Throne
To Sit Upon The Throne
a poem by The Overlord Bear/Jem De Ocampo
To sit upon the throne
Is a job for Perfection alone
For sitting without atrophy
Is an unattainable trophy
Except to God Almighty
Who still bothers with our cheek
That often lusts for His lower cheeks.
So the only thrones we fools can sit on?
Porcelain.
A Moment of Silence Today
A Moment of Silence Today
a poem by The Overlord Bear/Jem De Ocampo
We need a moment of silence
But we need to speak up
About issues about problems
About the news about gossip
About how somebody died
Through some words spoken
About some named person
Brought up with spikes through them
Hanging on their wood for love
Bearing no cross marking wrong
Answers, that’s all we want
As we leash our breaths up
For our research on silence
Which means death which means emptiness
Which means hell which means earth again
And again and again and I’ll gain
Knowledge that doubts the truths of the earth
Doubted with the restraint of heaven, I burn
Like Jesus, Mary, and Joseph in the cave
We sing of every December day.
Jesus, King of the Problematic
Jesus, King of the Problematic
a poem by The Overlord Bear/Jem De Ocampo
Here lies Jesus, King of the Problematic
Called himself “The Chosen”
Jailed with the bigoted
Wouldn’t let go of the hopeless
Said he loved them all
Hated letting them hang without full fall
He could’ve been a good rainbow man
But he let Judas kiss him like that
He could’ve ended empires
But he made Herod and Pilate friends
He could’ve been a good Jew
But he let Hitler be born into our world
Why make our undeserved suffering even worse?
At least bigots hate him today
For such men, it’s the only exception we’ll make
If he resurrected, then he’s a cockroach
But even as he’s dead, his cultists still approach
As silent as he was accused
Worse than the calls of Cthulhu
But we’re not making a religion out of this.

God’s Love Through Our Need to Ask Him for What We Need

Why ask God for what we need when He could just shove it down our throats like we deserve, right?

No true hero is dumb, and a dumb villain is more dangerous than a smart villain.

Why Are You Here With Us Deserving Prisoners, O Perfect Warden?
some insomniac musings by The Overlord Bear/Jem De Ocampo
All the charges we have against You are lies. Or, well, I just think that my charges against You are lies, my fellow prisoners hate me for thinking that way, and it freaking hurts all over.
