Eric Is

“E.R.I.C. Is”

by: Eric L. Boddie


It is important
That the mind possess agility
And because of that
Eric is the exceptionally rare intellectual capability

For those who will challenge
Without the use of common sense
They need to understand
Eric is the extremely reactive intense consequence

To those who keep their Faith
Where God intended for it to be kept
Which, by the way, has never been in man
Eric is an extraordinarily realized immortal concept

For those who try to tempt
In an effort to press the buttons of the controller
Through their greatest efforts
Eric is enabled to reach infinite composure

To those who think
So as not to one day resent
Because most pain and stress can be avoided
Eric is especially rich in insightful content

For those who love
Because God gave it with respect
Through the realms of poetry
Eric is empowered to reveal inspired context

To those living in disgust
On today’s society’s view of life
Because of an increasing lack of love
Eric is the eager request to involve Christ

And saving the best for last
Because that’s how God did the greatest creation
For each eligible lady
Eric is the enjoyable relaxation of intimate conversation

'...intimate conversation,' YEAH, and all the others. I always knew you were my kind of friend, from the first lines of poetry I read of yours. Hauntingly similar to your '8 lines.' Well done! Keith
