Lies and Betrayals
Lies and betrayals,And many a tale,And multitudes sacrificedWhile their chiefs hailed. Ribbons and marches,And buildings and arches,And letters of magnitude,And those of gratitude. Crowds of confusionAnd lots of illusionsLeaves many in darknessRegardless of smartness. The enemy knows how to fool,Armored with many a tool,Knows where our triggers lie,Knows that for what we’ll die. For he … Continue reading Lies and Betrayals
The Human Heart
The human heart from faith departs,The flesh of man, it kicks the can,It dwells in cannots, all things failed,A change in life course, it has bailed. The heart of man, it feeds the flesh,It leaves the person in a mess,And few are those who will confess,Results of sin they’ll not address. For many live in … Continue reading The Human Heart

Family Ties
We give them birth, and then they’re grown,And now they’ve families all their own,But ne’er do they depart our hearts,Of us they’ll always be a part. They ne’er will stop from being our kids,We do not wish from us to rid,We hope they’ll stay part of our lives,We hope beyond us they’ll survive. We love … Continue reading Family Ties
Testifying
Game players, naysayers,Falsifiers, hypocrites,Justifiers, rationalizers,Testifying counterfeit. Truth tellers, faith dwellers,Living holy, righteousness,Sacrificing, their flesh dying,Testifying faithfulness. Christ’s gospel, full gospel,Nothing hindered, no debate,Sin dying, God’s word buying,Testifying not too late. Repenting, sin relenting,Walk in freedom, not in sin,Christ following, him obeying,Testifying sins forgiven. An Original Work / July 20, 2023
I Say, “Goodnight”
I say, “Goodnight,” I say, “Goodbye,”I say, “Hello,” now don’t you cry,For life is short in many ways,We do not know how many days. For time is ticking, ticking by,We do not know when we will die,It could be soon, it could be late,For we know not the final date. For we are born and … Continue reading I Say, “Goodnight”
