God Must Be a Cowboy

He must sit back and just smile at sunsets;
The colors and quiet must give him great joy—
As do the sweet sage and morning violets;
God must be a cowboy.

He breathes life in the wind on the prairie
And sustains the green earth with the soft rain;
And he grows all the fish in the vast sea;
It is an unbroken chain.

Oh, you can hear him creak that old saddle
As he rounds up the skies and the whole earth range;
His eyes are on us and he’s not idle.
The only constant is change.

Yes, He rides beside us in gold grasses
And He watches our bedroll every night;
He helps us over all the high passes
And teaches us to do right.

And meekly we speak of Him by His name
As we take great pains to please and not annoy;
Knowing when we ride off back where we came:
God must be a cowboy.

The Somnambulist'stale

T'was 1 AM  when I heard loud trumpets
That never to fall from the mortal mouth
Issuing,seeping,vibrating my bed;
I was out with my gun,to demand loud.

The air seemed musical, and from nowhere
Soft voices Angelic noises:OH WHAT!
Who dared disturb another's peace in here?
I was hot.blood about to clot:who's near?

Soon a dazzling light fell on me:Oh hell!
All earth was soon to dazzle in its wake.
From the dazzling patch of cloud above fell
Angels in tender wings with all the quake:

As to make the earth rise and watch afraid;
Ready to announce Judgment Day.
So I fled to my bed's warmth
And threw the blanket right over my head.

The Country Cemetery

The Country Cemetery

By Elton Camp

This burial yard is the oldest around
Graves of the early 1800s are found
And it remains in use up to this day
When death’s call folks must obey

Oldest markers are fieldstone rude
With hard-carved writing so crude
Words the survivors often misspell
As names and sentiments they tell

A tiny, plain square, but little gave
Not even a name, only “***** slave”
How it got there, none can now know
But no other blacks are there, though

Where the dead rich came to lie
Are shown by markers so high
No expense did relatives spare
So all will know they are there

Some must surely contain the living
“There is no death,” marker is giving
“In heaven,” most tombstones do tell
But not a one reads that, “He’s in hell”

Possibly, everyone there was a saint?
But I am very sure the truth that ain’t
Buried there are both the good and bad
Plenty of both types they must have had

The saddest marker that is found here
Shows a little child laid out on her bier
She has been dead for a hundred years
But we can still sense her family’s tears

Here some of my own ancestors lie
Before I was born, most came to die
It’s sad that about them little is known
It is only names and dates on a stone

But to come back to life they must
“A resurrection of the just and unjust”
But when will come that glorious day
Not a person here on this earth can say

Until that time, they will all rest in peace
All strife and worry at their death did cease
Jesus Christ is the one who paid the price
So that most people may come to live twice

It is true that heaven awaits only the elite
Most who lived, back on the earth will meet
But in conditions they will find very nice
An earth that’s transformed to a paradise

The Mighty Power of Jah

He brings the stars out by number
As a shepherd calls out his sheep
By the power of JAH who never slumbers
But we're all fast asleep

He makes his sun to rise o'er head
The wicked and the good
And not the earth to spin instead
The way they say it should

The sun and stars move through space
Fifteen degrees an hour
The earth stands still in its place
By JAH's almighty power

Nephilim Becomes Me

From the heavens they did come
In multitudes not one by one 

There were two eruptions I was told 
In the days of Noah and the days of old 

From God's good grace they did fall 
From that sacred place, no return at all 

They took shape in human form 
and that is when sin was born 

Women married unto them 
Fallen angels all condemned 

They bare children wicked ones 
Evil on the earth had begun 

That is when we seen his wrath 
and eight were left in the aftermath 

But these eight souls were good we're told 
So which of the wicked ones broke the mold?

To this story there is so much more 
Just read Genesis chapter six verse four 

"There were giants in the earth in those days and even after that" 

Children of the fallen ones the evil they begat. 

Joshua smited many but let some go astray 
Disembodied spirits that haunt the land today 

I always wondered where my evil ways came from and now i know the truth 
I am partially called the devil's son and the bible is my proof.

The Year 2010

WELL IT'S THE YEAR 2010,  
THE EARTH HAS GROWN  POPULATED SIGNIFICATLY WITH PEOPLE,
 FROM ALL OVER THE LAND.
ALL THE GENERATIONS FROM  NOAH, AND MOSES,
AND FROM THE SON OF GOD JESUS!
PEOPLE HAVE DECIEVED THEMSELVES AND THEIR YOUNG FOR DECADES;
AND IT SURE ISN'T GETTING ANY BETTER OFF.
GOD DESTROYED THE WORLD WITH A FLOOD, FOR THE VERY SAME BEHAVIORS TODAY.
GOD DESTROYED SODOM AND GOMORAH,
 FOR THE HORRIBLE SINS AND BEHAVIORS AS WE LIVE IN TODAY EVERYWHERE.
ALL UNDERSTANDING TELLS ME THAT WE ARE ALLOWING OURSELVES TO BE DECIEVED,
INTO THINKING WHAT I DON'T KNOW.
THE FINAL ACT WILL BE UTTER DESTRUCTION OF THE EARTH WE NOW CALL OUR HOME.
NOTHING WILL BE LEFT STANDING OR TOGETHER, NOT EVEN AN INCH.
THE DELUSIONS OF OUR REALITY ARE JUST THAT DELUSIONS OF A MAD MAN.

DOES ANYBODY NOT SEE THIS? OR DO YOU SEE, BUT CHOOSE NOT TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT?
EITHER WAY YOU WHAT TO SEE IT, OR TALK ABOUT IT, THE FACT OF THE MATTER IS AT 
HAND!
THE END ISN'T COMING OR ON IT'S WAY, IT'S HERE IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME,
BEFORE IT'S ALL GONE, AND WE MEET OUR MAKER.
ARE YOU GOING TO BE TOLD I DO NO KNOW YOU?
SENT TO HELL A PLACE THAT WASN'T EVEN DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE, 
BUT FOR ONLY LUCIFER, AND HALF OF THE FALLEN ANGELS THAT WENT FELL WITH HIM.
A PLACE OF UTTER DARKNESS, YOUR ENEMY COULD BE THE ONE POKING YOU WITHOUT 
EVEN KNOWING IT.
SCREAMS, YELLS, NEVER ANY QUIET, NO PEACE!
PEOPLE THINK THAT LIVING IS HELL THEY DON'T QUITE HAVE A CLUE.


God's Chair - Chapter 2, Verses 255, Holy Koran

There’s no God but Allah
He is the Living Container
He is free from Sleep and drowsiness. 
He is the owner of everything
That is in earth and skies.
Who can recommend to Him 
Without His permission?
He knows everything 
That is bygone and ahead of creation
No one can obtain even a bit of His knowledge
Without His help 
His chair is everywhere
On earth and skies
He doesn’t become even a little bit tired
Of controlling these two things
He is the High and the Great.
