Shook Hands With the Devil

I shook hands with the devil
He spoke to me
I’ve been sworn to be a rebel
He told me to fight 
For my rights
As a citizen
Don’t take crap from anyone
Live your life
And make it fun
Be a rebel son
I shook hands with god
It was rather odd
He told me
Don’t be a rebel and listen to the devil
He wants to hurt you
No matter what you do
Listen to me
Climb to the peak of the tree
You can reach for the stars 
Or even mars
If you listen to me
And climb that tree
Don’t be afraid
Your future had been laid
Out on a light
Your future looks bright
Just keep your head up high
Until you die

Second Chance

Second chance

When I think about what might have been

I stop myself and think again.

The past is gone and the future remains

I lift my chin and break the chains.


There are changes I would love to make

But wanting to now is a little too late.

I waste my life still in the past

And the future is now fading fast.


What’s done is done there’s no second take

So live for today because it’s your life to make.

Oracle Contest

I should be an oracle, I see the future just fine.
In your future, I see you reading this next line.
Okay, now lets try something hard.
Maybe this will catch you off-guard.

If your first or last name start with letters A to G, 
then in the past week you have received something free.
If your first or last name start with letters H-N, 
Something has or will happen to make you say, not again.

If your in the category of O-T, 
then today you saw someone you rarely see.
If your in the last category of U-Z, 
then in the past week you said, why me?

If somehow I got this incorrect, 
sorry, but seriously, what did you expect?
Only one person can build your future and see it through.
That one person above all is none other than you.

Now tell me what does your future show?
Also if I was right before, let me know.

Cease, My Friend

What future lies beyond the hands of time?
Where friendships loved are frozen in the past.
When dreams of garden walks and life sublime
Detour unto death, killing hopes amassed.

Imaginary solutions came to take you away.
Imaginary hopes promised a brighter day.
The risk is much too great, I dare must say.
Please send away those toxic thoughts, I pray.

Loneliness succumbs, wanting some great escape.
Imagination thrives as darkness meets its fate.
The future dims as mishap takes its deadly shape.
Recalling hopes amassed…friendships watch and wait.

How then, can we go on, we, left behind?
Reflections of what-ifs rambling…forever stay.
The tragic loss cost each one of us our peace of mind.
Friends that loved separated, much left to say!

Eternally, one’s temperament may remain the same.
Reach for strength inside your soul; I’ve seen it there.
Cease, my friend, do not play this deadly game.
Open up your heart to those who care; life can be fair.

New Perspective

A new chapter to begin
while the rest is left to burn
finding the strength from deep within
to reach the point of no return

There is no looking behind
just ahead for what's in store
to past failures I will be blind
to future success an open door

Blocking out previous pains
replacing darkness with the light
anticipating future gains
all my wrongs transformed to right

Remembering this new objective
drawing from it inspiration
forgetting my previous perspective 
savoring my acknowledged salvation

Premium Member The Future Always Arrives Last

Trouble times your hearts are weary
Praying up to Mother Mary
Looking for answers in the past
The future always arrives last

When good from men seems to be gone
And all that is right is wronged
Will faith and hope be surpassed
The future always arrives last

A lone voice can change creation
A single stand can move nations
Tomorrow is up for grasp
The future always arrives last
