'A Small Request'


'A Small Request'


They turned out my light

And now with corners

Dimly lit

Do they even "give a shit"?

I have no way of knowing

Nor do I care to find

Another judgement waiting

To hurt or tear and grind...

For I have kept Life's motion

To the best I have to give

And now I only ask

That I might live....

‘Life’

‘Life’


It oft time seems

the mighty waves

Just wash right over me

And leave me weak

and trembling....

A young sweet

waif at sea...

And I’ve not harmed

a single soul

I’ve smiled and

lent a hand

I’ve walked

a thousand miles

with some

And tried

to understand....

I look into

the mirror and see

A lovely maiden fair

Then another wave comes in

And I’m an old grey mare..

'The Bible'


'The Bible'


Carry your bible

Inside of your heart

So it will be there

Right from the start

The pages are thin

But the message

Is strong

No matter the problem

It won't take you long

To make the right choice

To lead , never follow

The lies that Satan

may tempt you

To swallow.

For God is your strength

You have nothing to fear

Your life will be blessed

Hold His hand

He is here.

'The Message'


'The Message'


A shining light

In this foul darkness

I shall be

For I love Him

Who bore the cross

For me

Some...I know

Must crucify Him still

For God hath given them

their own free will

But woe to evil demons

Who delight

In smothering the goodness

Of this night

For Satan plays the tune

To which they dance

And all seems fun

Obsessed

And in their trance

Until the moment

They shall see their fate

and find

It is...just then

A heart beat late.

'The Last Question'


'The Last Question'


Is WAR

Man's response to death?

(that surly thing that makes

no sense to mortals?)

Is it like the small boy

Who screams at thunder

to prove he's not afraid?

A "Death isn't scary

so let's do it up big?"

Attitude?

And what of Mothers

The givers...the bearers of Life?

Reluctant to feed

Their just grown babes

Into its ugly jaws?

Yet stand beside their boys

Hand over heart

Pledging

The world into oblivion...

'Unshed'


'Unshed'


Why can't I cry?

Doesn't betrayal make tears?

Doesn't pain given through years

add up to screams?

I want to scream but who will care?

Just absorbed by rancid air...

I don't have the energy it would take

I need it now to be a fake...

'DEATH IS'



'DEATH IS'


Death

is

the

"Shudder"

of

what

might

have

been....
