Blood Stained Banner
As I pierce
the deep
blue skies
returning home
questioning
‘not’
who?
What?
When?
Where?
Nor
why?
Shoeless
‘BUT’
got His
favorite
BLOOD STAINED DRESS ON!
Some say it ain’t so
but,
if ‘He’
can walk on water
to me,
then
through
mustard seed
faith
an’
‘sum’
belief;
I too
can
gaze
across
the shore,
calm
the raging seas,
keeping
mine eyes
fixed
only
on Him
all the more.
And ‘YES’
drown
into
ETERNITY.
Uneducated, Uninformed, Ignorant, Unschooled, Untrained Fools!
They don’t like you
if
you’re on the dope.
They don’t like you
if
you don’t smoke.
They don’t like you
if
you’re way too loud.
They don’t like you
if
you don’t
entertain their crowd.
They don’t like you
if
you live
quiet,
meek an’ proud.
They don’t like you
if
you have
a house.
They don’t like you
if
you don’t
own a couch.
And they certainly
don’t like you
if
you’re a Father fearing church mouse.
They don’t like you
if
you stay to yourself.
They don’t like you
if
you’re with someone else.
They don’t like you
if
you mind
your business.
They don’t like you
if
you’re always
‘inna’ mess.
They don’t like you
Anyhow…
SO,
DARE TO BE DIFFRERENT
AND LEAVE ALONE
THE LIKES
OF THEIR ILLITERATE
KIND(s)!!!
WAR. What Is It Good For? ‘EVERYTHANG’!
I declare war
on
my oppressors.
I declare war
on
the lesser
of
two evils.
I declare war
on
my
persecutors.
I declare war
on
child molesters.
I declare war
on
hate crimes.
I declare war
on
hard times.
I declare war
on
enemy lines.
I declare war
on
un-just
bias.
I declare war
on
drug dealers
pimps
prostitutes
and
liars.
I declare war
on
Satan’s hire.
God ain’t
‘comin’ back
to ‘brang’
no peace;
He’s ‘comin’ back
with a vengeance
to finally
‘FREE’
his peeps.
WAR.
What Is It Good For?
‘EVERYTHANG’
WRONG
as you
can‘SEE’.
‘YOU’ Don’t Know Her Story
She lays awake
at night.
She writes.
She hurts.
She pains.
She thinks
inside.
She’s wise
beyond measure.
She sees
‘ALL’
and knows;
‘YOU’
don’t know
her story.
