Best Preacher Poems

His narrow eyes, misguided lies
Misguide his narrow plan,
To cleanse the world from demons, he
Was called The Preacher Man.

“I see no proof, I hear no truth!
Your science is a sin!
You’ll burn in hell if you rebel
And let the Devil win!”

The Preacher Man then took a stand
To...

The preacher who does not speak about the evils of abortion
and the mind and heart set that is conducive to it,
which is explained by the 6th commandment  
and the reason so many of us blew it….
need not preach about keeping the 5th commandment don’t...

I began to preach at ten
but had no idea why so late,
soon it would be dark, I thought,
and wondered why
it was not so already.
Several apathies passed unnoticed.
I gave them no mind.
And, finally, an opportunity
in a lavish, bizarre old living room.
But the matriarch was having none...

Brother Thomas was a preacher 
Who knew the scriptures well.
He asked people to follow him, 
And he'd save them from Hell.

One night while he was working late,
A man entered the church.
Brother Tom thought He was homeless,
Or on some kind of search.

The man was welcomed to...

She guides, she smiles, she invites
Hearts to hope, to relish her light
She inspires, she admires, she stirs
Compassion and joy, precious wonders
Unfolding in the spirit of those who listen
To the treasure of her gift, her brilliance
The way she soothes and calms
The wonder of her grace, her...

Long ago back in the day

When my beard was full

My hair wasn’t gray

Had a bike and used to ride

Had a friend from LA

He had been to Nam

Had worn as badge

Tough as nails hard as steel

One day word came around

He was down and feelin’ bad

Going to...

SILENT PREACHER

He got no god and not much faith
Not even a prayer even before he sleeps

Yet, he is good. He harms no one.
He feeds himself his daughter and his sons.

Without a mess, he does just to his business
To everyone he treat giving no headaches

Oh! how...

A knock at the door...
( I don’t believe in doorbells)
What appeared to be a man and his wife
were standing off the steps on the lawn
The man had a nervous, stern look on his face
and his partner had her hands clasped together
tightly at her waist; glancing...

My Daddy Was a Preacher

My daddy was a preacher
Not the kind now on TV
But a back-woods country preacher
For they’re the best you see
He came through the Great Depression
Where his parents scrimped and saved
To send him off to college
On a path that God had paved
He worked...

The New Preacher, 
“Hear My Words”

Are you listening. 
I am saying things very clearly. 
You need to keep trying. 
Are you talking to me?
Am I talking to you? 
Are you answering? 
Yes… Yes… You are!

I see that now. 
I did not know I could do...

It's been many years that have gone by since I set at his table
Playing twelve spot dominoes with this remarkable man, who was quite able
There was no hesitation as his fingers danced accross the dots to choose the right 
one to lay down
He never did...

She wiped his brow gently with the back of her hand,
Her sweet voice sang of a far away land.
A vision came to him that filled him with dread,
She was evil born of the dead.

Her mother came to this town, ten years ago,
She was killed by...

It is funny! 
Very funny how
A masked preacher can preach honesty; 
And even points at the wrongs with his
Fingers of hypocritical righteousness…

We stare with grim satisfaction
Because the black winged Angel 
Ridding a flaming chariot tells a tale; 
And proclaims that God is love, 
Yet he,...
