Do not fear the coming tempest;
See our God with faithful eyes.
He will care for you with interest.
This won't take you by surprise.

Do not worry that you'll perish.
He will raise you if you do.
By Jehovah you are cherished.
Our great God will rescue you.

Do not mind our...

Have I not told you that what you mistake
for madness is but the overacuteness of the senses?
- Edgar Allen Poe, “The Tell-Tale Heart

I have seen men forget to Look at themselves
And ponder on their souls and their hearts:
There they sit and smirk and giggle
At the...

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they gave Him up for 30 pieces silver reward?
Oh what horror, oh what shame;
They even placed upon Him a very special name.
King of the Jews, that's what it said,
But they wanted their special King...

I went to the chapel today
And I thought of a mother's loss
When I saw a picture of Mary
Praying at the foot of the Holy Cross.

To see a child suffer
There can be no greater pain
Especially one of your own
The one you have blessed with name.

She was...

The Republican congressmen,
and I do mean white privileged straight men,
came to their Democratic opposition
concerned about how depressing
December can be,
and all of winter,
come to think and feel
of dark discerning Advent,

So maybe we could stage
a comedic debate
about Trumpism,

To say the most extravagant truths
and untruths
and anti-truths
repeatedly aimed across...

My heart grieves for past warmth, rocking guilt back and forth
Like a cradled infant, deceased, and torn
I wailed inside and expressed what the babies could not,
Pierced so purposefully. . . their blood drizzled lightly upon the streets
Two gray kittens, side by side
One face molded into...

My Babe on the other side
Had a interesting, second lasting conversation with Suey who died, but I got the concept in that split second.
I asked her how old she was now, she said 10, seems she is ripping it up her Grandfather for his molestation...

WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED

We have overcome through the blood by the almighty
Son of Christ who came and died for us all on the cross
To pay for all sins of this world giving us hope for the future
to make change to rid the negative and...

Almighty God*, Source of breath and Sustainer of life,

Now and always, I seek for Your new, fresh, rejuvenating favor.
Earnestly along Your guidance, I beg for Your assured triumph

In your golden wonder we daily dwell. 
In the words of life and that said let there be. 
From them do we manifest when we fall to hell. 
The beginning of hope we do see but in foolishness we end in gnashing. 
From then horn...

Blessings to each who need blessing; 
Let the will of our Creator.
and the will of those suffering become as one. 
Any man not standing with the righteous people of this earth then, 
they are not in accordance with the almighty creator; 
For the God, I...

Intrusion on silence's speech
Ushered in by a black van's screech.
A wigged man in his spectacle
Sits in tentacles of fates and miracles

And bystanders troops in and out
Some either chants, sings or shouts.
An old man braced himself at the dock
Vehemently clinging to the tinge of luck

(Deuteronomy 20:4) “For the Lord your God is the One who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you VICTORY.”

They sit in cold judgement,
their modern eyes cast baleful stares,
passing their false prophet's law,
upon his ancient blood;
eyes of blackened ice reply in silent amusement.

Still they judge him according to their ways,
money, property, suited jobs and cars,
he has a future of reputation's immortality,
his art will last...
