Dead Imagination
Now I don't have any reasons anymore, To express something you never cared suddenly you made me feel high and left me on lows Stuck in between, Its same just like before when we first talked, Took me long enough to get everything, from starting to end, it was all my imagination it was all my delusion, And desperation, I will admit it was all my fault getting it...

Jesus Doesn't Need A Rebrand - Part 02
If the message doesn’t have lights, If the preacher doesn’t rhyme, If the singer isn’t “branded” enough, You say it’s not Spirit-filled. Since when did the Holy Ghost depend on your playlist? I cry for you. I cry for the singer drowning in the noise of their gift. For the preacher who can draw a crowd but can’t discern demons. For the Christian...

Jesus Doesn't Need A Rebrand - Part 01
Let’s stop pretending. This isn’t evangelism. This is idolatry in disguise. You’ve baptized compromise and called it creativity. You’ve clothed rebellion in relevance, And made God’s altar a stage for your ego. How much more of the world must you wear Before you realize the Gospel is naked truth Not a costume for cultural approval? How many times must you flirt with sin Before you...

to have and not
To have, or not to have Many people are from the outside, beautifully formed with a mind that can absorb empathy and warm sympathy but life itself makes us harder around the edges, as it is  It's not possible to live fully, shall we say, without knocking oneself free of cultural norms Can friendship exist between the classes?...

Premium Member What words can placate
What is it they say to chase demons away? When scars inside ache, what words can placate? What meaning is found crawling on ground? When you feel you’re nothing to see. When you see what they think of thee! Barriers form and walls are built to shield a heart from the pain in the mind force fed through aged, outside...

The winters come much faster now than once they did in endless days; The sapling now a roughened bough which in the wind no longer sways. Springs interjection disappears as quickly as the summer sun; And fall? It counts the passing years reveals the end has now begun....
