Clouds and Thunder
Clouds and thunder, days of hunger,Enemies lurking, liars working,Not good fellows, armies bellow,All asunder, bad men blunder. Time is ticking, truth not clicking,Faith in God to wise men sticking.Foolishness is now accepted,Truth of God is intercepted. Truth and lies now interchanging,For the gospel rearranging,Good is evil, evil good,For the truth not understood. Jesus said that … Continue reading Clouds and Thunder

Deeds Done in Secret

Strange Bedfellows
Blocking, stalking, fans are flocking,Strange bedfellows, they’re not knocking.Peeking through the windows plenty,As if love they ain’t got any. Window chasers, they are gazers,Destitute, they are debasers.Lusts a plenty, not without,They go there, without a doubt. All is for them, them not caring,Who it is on they are staring,Self-indulging, wasted effort,They are hiding, not transparent. … Continue reading Strange Bedfellows
