Best Ransoms Poems
Easter PrayerLord of love, on this day with blood did buy
this chance for all to rise from ransoms paid.
With forgiving grace that must not ever die,
whose sacrifice laid bare with shame, betrayed.
Rare, as spring's new life in immortal bloom,
you cast the bounds drawn cold...

A Soldiers PrayerWearily I walk this rutted road
Knowing this life led yet is mine
Due is all ransoms for my soul
To every witness I leave behind
Lift my heart to spare no love
To be a light for shadows cast
I draw my strength from God above
With hope that seeks the...

A Write A-101I knew a wayward man;
His eyes shadowed with defeat.
His sunken lips and hollow cheeks,
mapping his journey.
He cannot reach, nor walk a step,
his will has met it's match.
Lost to his own deceit,
to liars and ransoms!
His life disguised by tainted thoughts,
and to...

Sounds of the GhettoI can hear the wicked shots rangin',
Hood stars on the avenues hangin',
You hear the sounds of the ghetto
and loose change in B.U.Ms[brothers under madness]
metal cups clangin',
That poverty noise is 1 of the hood anthems,
Bailbondsmen collectin' hood ransoms,
and crooked police we can't stand'em,
And we're fed up...

Twas the Night Before a MiracleTwas the night before a miracle, in a far away land
Traveled Mary and Joseph across the deserts white sand
The journey produced a mother-to-be all weary and worn
As she prays and awaits the birth of her first to be born
Traveling several days and several nights
Joseph's...

Heart Heart HeartHoard healthy highs
End etch enough
Add apt apply
Roam rivers rough
Trendy true tries
Hope hurls healing
Etch earns ending
Art aims asking
Reap real risking
Trust truth tasking
Help hurting hires
Embrace empty
Apt art aspires
Relieve rowdy
Toilsome touch tires
Hoist heavy hounds
End each explore
Art airs astound
Risk ripe restore
Trip tipsy town
Harsh hurting heat
Endow entreat
Applause appliqué
Reach rich repeats

Thirst of PeaceRemove disturbing lines from the real life,
Drawn by anti peace human beings,
Who like wars and brutality,
Because these lines are disturbing,
Peaceful human beings,
Who likes peace and love….
To make this world,
A place of love and peace,
Where everyone have equal rights to live,
Where no wars and...

Light Verse
SinisterIt takes your money and robs you of time,
Chimes for attention, and rings with crime.
Your give it the power to mold and control
Unending hours, absorbed by its hold.
An instant response is expected, demanded.
Heeded is good but delayed? Reprimanded!
All in-person prowess becomes diminished.
Face to face talking...

When I Was Fortysomething 2000sI saw the great con that was Y2K

I saw that I did not want to let him go
I saw that I was truly blessed
I saw it but would never have...

MoneyA long verse on an even longer subject
The eye of most everything is money
Their power over us is unsurpassed
Hey, got the dough? May call me “honey”
To get away, to buy me things, to have a blast
We name them greenbacks, moolah and bitcoin
The cash, the buck,...
