Portland's strangest duo publishes their literature

This site is an ongoing collection of poems/prose/journals/jargon written by the master of ceremonies [Maxwell Sunshine] and producer [Jacob Starfish] of the Portland Hip Hop group EXPLORERS OF THE DREAMWORLD. Most of these writings sat undisturbed within the pages of old notebooks and stowed away in cardboard boxes - unseen from any strangers or spirits. That is where they remained for some time, practically forgotten, if not for a Portland folklorist/archeologist [Hogwash Dupree] who, in 2022, managed to assemble a large crew & convoy to navigate the treacherous territory & investigate some of the many outstanding rumors of accursed anathemas. All the while, building the trust of the duo with the hopes of publishing their writings online. If you would like to contact Mr. Sunshine or Mr. Starfish directly, we recommend you email EXPLORERSOFTHEDREAMWORLD@GMAIL.COM. As for Mr.Dupree, he can be reached at HOGWASH.DUPREE@GMAIL.COM. We thank you for your visit today & hope you take away something of value.

IF GOD SHOULD GO ON STRIKE

It's a good thing that God almighty 

has never gone on strike.

Because of unfair treatment

or for things he didn't like. 
Should he ever once sit down and say 

"That's it, I'm through...
I've had enough of those on earth 

so this is what I'll do..."

He'll give orders to the sun 

to cut off the heat supply. 
Tell the moon give no more light
then run the oceans dry.
& just to make things double tough
& put the pressure on,

he'll cut off the air & oxygen 
till every breath is gone. 

For sure he would be justified 

but fairness is his game. 

For no one's been more abused 

or treated with disdain. 
Yet he carries on and on 

providing you and me
with all the goodness of his grace
& everything for free. 

People want a better deal
so on-strike we go.
But what a deal we're giving God

whom everything we owe. 
We don't care who we hurt or harm
to gain the things we like, 
but what a mess we'll all be in 
if God should go on strike.
