MessiahBetrayed for thirty pieces
Of silver
Mocked, spat upon
Flogged and crucified,
How Messiah suffered and died.

Cruel and brutal tyrants
Who slaughtered millions of their own people.
And now let those who espouse the ideals
Of communism, marxism, socialism and globalism
Learn the truth from the blood soaked landscape
Of the twentieth...

TimeShould time eradicate all my fears and doubts
The painful memories of my troubled past
The cruel and biting words from unfriendly mouths
And grant inner peace and contentment at last,
Should time with a kind and generous hand
Grant fortune and favour among friends...

Nature's SongWhenever I hear the heavens sing
Or see the sun shining down
Or behold any living thing
That walks on this hallowed ground,
Whenever I see the earth in spring
Fertile and blooming with life
Or hear the birds sweetly sing
Their joyful song in...

The Simple LifeThey met
Fell in love
Got married
Had children
Worked hard
Grew old and retired
To the countryside,
The simple life.

Wants to silence and oppress
By whatever means,
Even political correctness.

Of the long dying day
Will I falter before that cruel voice
Or countenance the black despair
That rises from the deep cesspool of fear
Gorged on the churning cauldron
Of malevolence and hate,
Never in the bitter dying day...
