Patriotism

The first is the country, those who have patriotism!
They have their own culture and language,
Who smuggles money to other countries?
Life is over, without being a...

Entrusting Deposit

Do not be ashamed to testify,
Share suffering for the Gospel;
Of God’s power never deny,
When proclaiming to the people.

He called us to a holy calling,
Not just because of our deeds;
For Jesus kept us from falling,
For His purpose, so...

If Ireland and England can’t get along, who can?
And Germany wants to be boss.

Can you feel the stage

Can yall feel that,
Hmm, no?
You may have felt it when other poets were here,
See some were being a little flirty, some were getting a little sturdy,
And well you know my ass is coming up here to be little nerdy,
Maybe a little bit dirty,

Is PTSD another term for The Bible and me?

A reflection from the moon!
That turned red, after that I saw, what appeared to be visions coming to pass!
Dreams of life and death!
Wars and hate, love mistaken? Forsaken or cursed?
Ghostly shadows that stood and moved not!
Snakes with...

Native Americans

As effective their direct,
Throwing of B.S. is.
To land as planned,
In the faces of others.
Seeking shelter and opportunities.
Hoping to receive,
From their own home land.

For whatever the reason,
Stirring winds begin to appear.
Returning...

Sleep.

Sleep.

When i close my eyes
on a bed in a dark night.
I contemplate you
to come to me with your chariot.

The stars,the moon peep
through my window and watch,
with their shining eyes,
how you seduce me to fetch.

You spred sleeping...

Rubbish

Yes, another man stood in my lane,
it's okay, that's his problem now that chick's insane,
there's more wrong than just the loose wires in her brain,
she's got no heart, it's just empty and plain,
with cheating, lies and hate running through her...

Flatline

The hands on the clock reads a little past eight,
at this point turning around is just too late,
going with the flow now, I guess it's called fate,
so let it be known on this very date,
I spoke the truth and laid it down straight,
that my...

Discouraging Discover

Thank you for letting me pretend,
that we could be more than just a friend,
the pain hit me directly right in the spine,
because I knew you were never really mine,
but I decided to not let the truth be spoken,
so I can enjoy time with you...

Blindfold

Some people say that love is blind.
But love is watching all the time.
In troubled times call Jesus’ name.
He comes to save you, not to blame.

He’ll lift you from the pit you’re in.
And take you home to live with him.

He wants to show you...

Abortion is Murder

There are a bunch of ways to commit a crime,
and there are many people dead or doing long time,
but, How does a baby killer get off Scott free?
Can anyone please explain that one to me?
How murders get death penalty or life's time,
but...

Soon he will come

When I am vulnerable as a child
My heart melted into something so mild
Like the stars transformations of life from the mist
Allowing the growth of my heart from strife or lust
Like Jesus blessing my souls cherished love
With his greatest memory...
