The Zany Zoo

The awakening of the dawn like a butterfly busting through the cocoon.
The rhino's thyroid condition was exacerbated as the cheetah conflict 
continued.
As I drank in and tasted the coolness of the water, 
my eyes gazed upon the crocodile's welcoming smile, 
the caption was split apart by the hyena's maniacal laughter,
As I breathed in the heinous adventure,
man what I would do for a cliff bar!
Billy Roberts from Germantown Pennsylvania, you are the planner of my trips 
no longer.
I'm immersed in the baboon conflict much,
Cheetah's are too anxious and scared'
those crazy colored monkeys,
Always be constantly straight trippin,
I suppose its time to go snatch up a snow cone,
At least then i'll be heated up,
Suppose I'll meander down yonder over in the holler,
the Zoo will be closing soon,
Why is this peacock making a bead-line for me?
Get hence from me you beastly bird!
You Great White, who's sensed the blood in the water,
the kids are all laughing at me, 
As I hang clumsily from this tree,
Screaming shrill and hoarsely for someone to come and save me, 
I enmesh myself and become one with the tree,
Ya that's right devil-bird! walk away!
that's why they call me lizard lips,
I can hide from anything,
Wednesday will be my greatest day,
because it begins in W and ends in Y, 
As I take in a deep relaxed breath and pinch my leg until my eyes begin to 
adjust again,
The Bronx Zoo is no bueno,
Asta la Vista you toothy baboons

Peace

I go among trees and sit still. 
The river of awakening draws the peaceful laughter of sunshine, 
flowing in, and flowing out, 
until any distractive discontentment is all but nil. 
This is peace beckoning me as a warmhearted friend, 
cherishing the moments spent with me, 
telling me that I am loved. 
And then the soft whisper of God, 
"Awaken my child, it is the moment to embrace your destiny." 
and then hush..... 
the enveloping soothing calm, 
my heart breathes beating and drinking in the acceptance, of His Spirit filled 
identity for me. 
And then Peace.....

Untitled

Today is true as any other, that Christ's sacrifice is the only truth that proclaims victoriously, 
the deliverance of eternal death, my only means of salvation, for him willingly embracing 
God's wrath, and receiving the punishment of my sins, as a warrior he faced death.
Asking forgiveness for the ones, who greedily tortured and mortally wounded,but in all this 
he had control, His life was freely given.
An insurmountable sacrifice, the KING of KING'S has risen! and into me he so humbly 
brought, the embrace of his perfect love and attention, even though my self-induced lusts 
after sin. have removed me so far from God's perfect will, leaving me completely depraved, 
bruised, and hopelessly broken.
Please God forgive this blatant sinner, the wounds i've endured i'm so ashamed, have all 
been self-inflicted.
Please God wash me new, in the blood of your son Christ Jesus, placing me as a new 
creation in the body of Christ, when truly i've earned God's judgement and wrath.
Praise and glory always be to the one, he conquered death and gave me a new life, he freed 
me from myself, and from eternal damnation, he offers the gift of deliverance, how can i be 
so ungrateful as to continue in my sin?
And yet you pour out your perfect love, grace and mercy, and discipline me when i need it, 
and i am so eternally grateful, because without you life is darkness into which i wish i was 
never created, but all things through you there is victory, so glory and power, and praise be 
to you, you've delivered delivered me from death.
You picked me up and brushed me off, and told me "it would be o.k., but if i followed you i 
would endure hate and persecution, for proclaiming your salvation.
But hey if God's got your back, your a Warrior of Victory, His light destroys all fear, there is 
nothing that man can do to rip God's love away", your KINGDOM come, your WILL be done, 
on EARTH as it is in HEAVEN.
Make me your disciple, because removed from you i am openly wicked, self absorbed, drug 
induced, a pitiful abomination.
All power praise and eternal glory, i am forever grateful, though i constantly stumble, may i 
humbly repent in the name of your only begotten son, CHRIST JESUS.
Your indescribable gift to spend eternity with you, under your perfect rule, praise be to God 
for your free gift of salvation.
