Abodes

There isn’t a place I haven’t abode a river mansion or a tree by the road in a multitude of places not our home from commune havens to being alone Was cold and hungry and lived on the street with two small children and nothing to eat I asked you to care and you threw us away erased all my words despised what I say We’ve slept in the fields and a bus stop bench none who cared to help when in a pinch I’ve seen men at their worst and their best the crazy ones who took us in as their guest Lived in house that had no doors got one now by the oceans shores I have lived with plenty and without a dime the people I remember gave us their time The sectarian churches have I attended but so few hearts their revivals amended no sect can save you when you stand before God if you haven’t learned love your thoughts still flawed I’ve been coast to coast livin’ on the street the stories I can tell bout the people we meet the cars that stopped with sacks for a meal so the children had milk and oranges to peel I’ve been close to heaven definitely hell felt the sleep of death for preference dwell the most important lesson I ever learned it is by the forge my wisdom earned I’ve read the Bible so many times stories of love and hate for hearts reminds what a man would do to acquire affection cave to opinions to avoid rejection I know I will always consider you knowing I don’t know what you’ve been through you can rest assured I’m here to learn my choices are the only ones I can turn I could wax eloquent on prophecy but like Paul don’t matter if loves not in me to every kind of learning sold my soul but if you don’t count my hearts not whole So much in life we have to consider experiences that can help or hinder the so called guidance that many teach a whole new Talmud do they preach Funny thing in the Word of God they were royalty or in sandals shod one can never judge by their appearance by their outside to truths adherence I read every mythology by grade seven all their thoughts bout hell and heaven the Bible teaches that death is sleep till the resurrections judgments keep If you don’t examine all things taught you won’t know the lies that live in thought if you think you already know all truth and that learning is only sought in youth When you’ve unraveled the knowledge of the universe and fully apprehend and can death reverse when you are perfect and my attention demand and like my Lord extend understand I’ll always give a care bout who you are but if Loves not your teacher you’re not my STAR if you don’t seek love for earths family what possible connection could you find in me COPYRIGHT © 2012 C Michael Miller Via Duboff Law Group LLC
