Best On Your Guard Poems
He masquerades as an angel of light
That's who the devil is
So be very, very careful
He will betray you with a kiss.
He walks around like a roaring lion
To devour you for himself
He'll tempt you with all kinds of riches
And promise you much wealth.
The devil wants to lead mankind
Lead us all astray
And pollute our minds with sin and lies
A place where he can play.
The cross is a place of victory
The devil knows that well
That's why he wants to con mankind
And take us all to Hell.
So take great care and be on your guard
To the ones you listen to
For it could be the devil in disguise
Just carefully grooming you.
You distract me from where I want to be
You destroy my life as well as those around me
You deceive my family, putting false promises in their way
You demolish my friends, watching their lives crumble away
I am determined to get rid of you
I am desiring to kick you out of my house
To say goodbye to you forever is my dream
To wash away the misery you've caused is my fantasy
So watch your back and stay on your guard
Because I will not rest until you are lying down. cold, lifeless, dead.
Faith, The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
How is your faith, will it hold up under life's weight or would you fold from being worldly controlled or, do your faith have a stronghold.
And not faith in material things but faith in things unseen. World you step out on a limb even though the limb looks grim, while people are saying, you're crazy it's just a whim?
Which means stepping into the obscure being totally unsure but you are really secure because you know you have a saviour and your faith is going to make you a great entrepreneur.
Except you're in a world of defence believing only in it's science, so it has thrown down the gauntlet for The Word to the world is a real threat and makes it sweat because the world only believes in assets.
But faith is beyond common sense which is our natural defense, so is your faith pretence or are you on the fence?
2Cor.5:7(For we walk by faith not by sight) but we are so use to fight or flight, so how do I build my faith and make it airtight?
Rom.10:17(Faith comes by hearing and hearing by The Word of Christ) but will that suffice for the world say it's way to big a sacrifice and far too over priced. Still out of all the worldly knowledge I've heard nothing makes more sense than The Word.
However, all over the land it looks like man has the upper hand, but you must be on your guard(Thus saith The Lord: Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, that maketh flesh his arm and who's heart depareth from The Lord. Jer.17:5 KJV.) And this will be of your own accord.
So take heed for you can do incredible deeds even with faith as small as a mustard seed but it must be in The Lord and you will feel it deep within then, your faith can move mountains. (Matt.17:20)
NOW when life gets you down and has you full of grief, turn to The Lord for complete relief and pray( Lord help my unbelief. Mark 9:24) because when in The Lord you take stock you'll be building your house upon a Rock. ( Luke.6:48).
Then if you feel The Lord still hasn't taken your case you must ask yourself. How is my Faith?
I steal into people’s subconscious,
leaving my ideas,
encouraging them
to think they are their own ideas.
Silliness on their part.
They are not that clever.
Only children possibly?
Thinking they are all that?
But wait, can I generalize?
No, for not all children are
treated the same, only or not.
I am coming for you tonight,
in your REM sleep, giving you the
best of yourself; teaching you new ways.
I am your dream, and belong to
no one else.
Not even to you sometimes.
When I prefer to retain my
identity.
Please be not on your guard,
let me in, and relax.
I will be kind and loving.
If I am treated right.
If not, watch out, I can
turn into a nightmare on a whim.
And I will blemish and alarm your
sensitivity like the wrath of the
most vicious dragon slayer.
Be assured your gardening secrets are held intact, never to be revealed, due to the magic faerie code.
Confidences among the lilacs are kept through this world into the next one, secured by these flying orbs.
Faerie folk’s unquestionable integrity and trust are rarely questioned, never wavering in any way.
Beware of one teeny tiny glitch in the garden area, where the elves and gnomes reside in summer.
Elves, gnomes, and leprechauns sometimes disguise themselves as gentle moral faerie folk, in order
To broadcast secrets and stir up trouble among the snails, grasshoppers, bees, and lightning bugs.
These charming deceivers will broadcast secrets to gain even an inch of status among the moon people.
The only saving grace is that their well-earned reputation proceeds them, so they are universally
Dis-believed as they simply lack the stellar integrity of the faerie folk.
Be especially vigilant and close-mouthed during giant changes of moon phases.
This is when these deceivers have the easiest times transforming, because portals are open.

Picture this billboard, with the last line crossed out by a
Giant red X, above which an immature, volatile, vindictive
Mean-spirited, pre-adolescent
Leprechaun has penned
FAKE NEWS.
Do you feels inside's a battle?
And you just can't seem to win
One day you feel so happy
The next day you feel like sin.
Do people keep reminding you
Of the wrong you did before
And when you feel you're doing well
They just knock you on the floor.
Let me just encourage you
Your battle has been won
For our enemy the devil
Was defeated by God's Son.
Remember to be on your guard
Of thoughts that come within
For the devil longs to knock you down
And remind you of your sin.
So stand your ground my christian friend
In the armour God has given
For He has dealt with all our sin
Our Savior who is risen.
So next time these thoughts arise
Remind him what is written
For in Christ you stand today
Victorious and forgiven.
The devil is defeated
And now he's on the run
God kicked him out of Heaven
And now to earth he's come.
That cunning crafty serpent
He'll lure you into sin
With promises of better things
For your soul he wants to win.
He'll tempt you with a magic potion
That promises you a thrill
But all he wants is your soul
To take to hell and kill.
He's a deceiver and a robber
The father of all lies
So be on your guard, stand fast
He's the master of disguise.
The time for him is running out
Since the day that he fell
Don't listen to his voice of sin
It will take you down to hell.
The devil is defeated
And now he's on the run
God kicked him out of Heaven
And now to earth he's come.
When in her best behavior:
she smiles so sweetly
and she loves so freely;
she speaks so softly
and she adores so dearly.
But if you are not on your guard:
she will smile sweetly still
as she drives a knife deep into your heart;
she will love you, yes she will,
while bleeding dry your credit card until you hurt;
she will speak ever so softly,
divesting you of your money till you can't take it anymore;
she will adore you dearly
till she finds a new man, then drops you to settle some score.
She is tough, yet crumbles so easily,
she loves but hates with uncontrollable fury.
She sends so many conflicting signals:
like some sort of a weirdo,
she says no when she means yes, and yes when she means no;
she always demands equality
yet expects preferential treatment based on her femininity;
she expects a man to open the door
but once inside the feminist begins to take over the floor;
she can manage on her own, says woman,
yet resents it when you don't give up your seat, you ain't a gentleman;
she wants a man to hold her when crossing the pavement
but try it in the office and the poor guy gets booked for harassment.
What a woman really wants is equality...in her favor !!!
The black man has had a life full of trauma
Forget what you heard save the drama for your mama
When will the struggles for the black man end
When we will come together as a people and blend
Keep your head up black man and keep standing tall
You always have to give your all and all
Your struggle as a black man as a black woman I understand
And I will be there for you my black man
I know that times get frustrated and hard
And you always have to be on your guard
My black man stands with beaming pride
Because I'm his black woman I'll stand by his side
You have the strength to cope and endure
Just lean on me I'll be your allure
I'll always remember my black man with much pride
And I will continue to stand by his side
For the struggles of the black man continue to go on
Just remember my black man you are not alone
So keep hope alive and soar on high
Beacause you are my black man with dignity and pride
The day of the Lord will come as a thief
But we shall not worry nor feel any grief.
When “peace and security”, they shall cry,
Sudden destruction will be their demise.
We’re not in darkness as to what will occur
We’re sons of light and of day, as it were.
Be on your guard of the ridiculers who dare
To dispute that the great tribulation is near.
Should we fear this day? Not at all!
Because it means salvation for those who stand tall.
All of God’s enemies will tremble with fear
But for His loyal servants, deliverance is near.
Make sure you stand ready, continue to be faithful
Enduring the trials from those who are hateful.
Trust in Jehovah with all of your heart.
He will sustain you and never depart.
(1 Thessalonians 5:1-5, 2 Peter 3:9-17, Matthew 24:42)

A Dog's Life
By Roy Merritt
He likes to pee on trees and smell his neighbor's ***
He likes to chase balls and roll 'round in the grass
And sometimes fight with others and have to run away
And still think tomorrow he'll maybe win the day
And not have his chums think what he did before
Makes him a yeller dog and someone to abhor
He likes to eat his food from anywhere and a bowl
He likes to chase cats and run them down a hole
And if he lives to be twenty he'll feel really old for sure
And you know for certain that he won't long endure
For one year to a man is seven for a hound
And if he reaches twenty he's lucky to still be around
He's lucky to be around and maybe still have his teeth
Twenty years long to him but to humans very brief
So though you may feel tough, alert and on your guard
Your arthritic dog is laying about the yard
He lays about the yard his eyes reflect despair
Like an elderly person rocking in their chair
Rocking in their chair nostalgic for their youth
Both wishing they weren't so very long in tooth
They wish they were young again young and full of zest
Back to that time when they felt their very best
Back to that time when enjoying the days that pass
Wondering if this the one this day to be his last
An Ancient crazy Ox,
Once had a whacking job,
Breaking on the dance floor,
One too many holes to show!
A sleepy grizzly bear on four,
Drinking ale with a drunkard
boar,
On board a rocking Boat with
one oar,
Singing 'bottles of rum' from
Jamaica to Singapore!
Mind me manners toward
Capitano Lady Fox,
Upon the infamous pirate
ship at Bencoolen's seaport,
Gives me dreaded shivers me
back as she reckons me
ransom...
Or walk the plank on her
fancy at devil's watch!
Her bastard crews scattered
around the world by
misadventure,
Come crawling back surely
from as far as America to
India, Oxes,Bears,Otters,Boars
and nasty Mr.one-eyed
badger!
Assign her coloured flags of
the Dark Paws!
Get ready to sail and soar on
open seawater.
'ALL PAWS ON DECK !' yell the
first mate Mr.Badger at the
aft,
Scurry me *****es of a
pirate's whore or there'll be
no sunshine on your arses!
And glide she did towards
Shanghai's blossom ...
And on her voyage she pick
up the grizzly bear and
drunkard boar,
With a slashing whip on
those Scumbags with her
foxy's paw she gave in to her
pleasure!
Beware merchants and sea
travellers be on your guard,
The sinister Black Paws is
coming your way...
And by the hairy ass of
Bloody
Mary have mercy on you,
When she prey upon your
vessels on golden horizon
ablaze !!
Ahoy there and shiver me
timbers this take becomes
hotter,
A tale of battles with pirates
and the western kingdom.....

Gothic Pets
Must of conjured up three demon cats from the depths of hell
What Halloween mischief does their presence foretell
Cat-lions roar, mincemeat!
Kids scared off with no treat
I think I’ll keep my new pets around for a spell

Those three cats with their eyes glowing bright red
Suddenly appearing on the doorstep
May seem meek and mild
But are truly wild
Be on your guard as they're a ghostly threat
by Beryl Edmunds
What is a friend? I will tell you.
It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself.
Your soul can be naked with him.
He seems to ask from you to put on nothing, only to be what you are. He does not want you to be better or worse.
When you are with him, you feel like as a prisoner feels who as been declared innocent.
You do not have to be on your guard.
You can say what you think, so long as it is genuinely you.
He untherstands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you.
Whit him you breath freely.
You can avow your little vanties and envies and hates and vicious sparks, your meannesses and absurdities and, in opening them up to him, they are lost dissolved on the white ocean of his loyalty.
He untherstands. You do not have to be careful.
You can abuse him, neglect him, tolerate him. Best of all, you can keep still with him. It makes no matter. He likes you. He is like fire that purges to the bone.
He untherstands. He untherstands.
You can weep with him, sin with him, laugh with him, pray with him.
Through it all - and untherneath - he sees, knows and loves you.
A friend? What is a friend?
Yust one, I repeat, with whom you dare to be yourself.
When betrayal alters fate:
your anxieties increase.
For memories carry weight;
when emotions seek release.
Love drowns in a pool of tears,
forming a sea of regret.
But although it may take years,
time promises you'll forget.
When love's nowhere to be found,
rising hopes begin to ebb.
And hearts make a crying sound:
caught in depression's web.
Accepting change can be hard
as lies try to block your way.
And you must be on your guard;
lest your courage slip away.
Today's a good day to start
healing the hurt in your soul.
And let love into your heart;
before time exacts its toll.
