Poetry

Leading and Living
Humble yourself under His hand,
So that His mighty hand exalts you;
At the proper time you will stand,
Of His Word able to construe.

Cast on Him your anxieties,
Because of you, He rightfully care;
His Spirit cleanse iniquities,
In your confession that you share.

Be sober-minded and alert,
Vigilant of the deceiver;
Satan puts an extra effort,
Prowling for an unbeliever.

He is like a roaring lion,
Seeking someone to devour;
A person away from Zion,
Patiently waiting to dour.

Be firm in your faith and resist,
For the same kind

Fool's Gold
Open book with
A blank last page
Not much of a challenge
Forget the chase
Can't erase the words
As they're stuck
In my memory
Long past infinity.

The divine spirit
Gave no signs
Water is water
Wine is wine
But I misused the allotted time
Granted selflessly
To behave selfishly
As if I believed
I was immune to suffering
While being attached
To your every whim
Whisper or disdain.

Waves washed away
My cypher in code
But the tears are held
In reserve
With no more room
For any self-pity
The boy can't c

Digging The Dirt
Illusion of time
That it was going to wait
While avoiding the interrogation
Of being defined
As a muckraker
But just looked
At the world cock-eyed.

I couldn't relate
To this insufferable need
For greed
And conquest
Denying others
Their dignity
For refusing to respect
The coward
Who hides behind
Guns and ammunition.

Say you desire peace
But only on your terms
Learn the hard way
It's a long way back
Clawing for the latest guru
Or quack
To cure your ills
Instead of looking up
And within.

Pleasing Sacrifice to God
Let’s continue to offer up,
A sacrifice for praising God;
Overflows blessings in your cup,
Fruit of lips to honor and laud.

Neglect not to do good and share,
For sacrifices that are pleasing;
Showing to God that you do care,
That your actions are appeasing.

Obey your leaders and submit,
They will keep watch over your soul;
Giving account of your merit,
Times of trouble go to console.

Let them do this and not with grief,
That is no advantage unto you;
Do not hold back on your belief,
On how to continue to pursue.

Poster Child
Are you real or just a poster child
Are you real
you know you drive 'em wild.
I'm a poster child not unlike you
up in the spotlight
could have been you too
as a poster child
Poster child of funk.
Pumpity Pump.

I know how your waters flow
Your ole man by the river
told me so.
He said, give you a kiss
like this
then go
with the heave it and ho.
Cuz, noddin' off the way you do.

Sometimes you get that junkie's flu

Said shame on me
no shame
where were you
I was there for you
