Best Sooner Than You Think Poems
An age in our existence its story’s on my mind,
I find some sweet reflections in seasons passing by,
My soul yearns so, for that which ‘was’,
A time of dust gold-wheat where timber stools sat by limpid pool
The taste of hard-boiled sweets,
With gathered friends where laughter rang, as smooth as Woodgrain worn,
So smooth was skin at seventeen,
Oh Lord let me go back for just once more;
I’ll right the wrongs; I’d sing that song that hid behind young lips,
To make Dad proud in his small world,
And Mom I’ll have your extra hug and kiss,
Then I’d say to all of them don’t worry in this flesh, of others
Stares or unneeded cares, or the grudge you’re told to keep,
For the end will come to all these things much sooner than you think,
Don’t hold too long to pain and wrong
Life’s short so keep things sweet.

I know your deepest fear, what you dread the most,
Still, your own desire you're preserving as a ghost.
You're guided by your arrogance; on your ego you rely.
Haven't you ever heard, the ego's known to lie?
You play your silly mind games; you think you are so smart,
But all this will ever get you is a sad and lonely heart.
You paint yourself untrustworthy with the antics that you pull.
No one can take you seriously when you're just a load of bull.
You think you are invincible and well above reproach,
But one as flawless as you, no one will dare approach!
You pride yourself with cleverness, while appearing stupid.
With so many attractive traits, there is no need for Cupid!
With all your flawlessness, you need not ever apologise.
One as perfect as you are, you're the apple of many eyes!
But how has this worked for you on that pedestal you sit?
Apparently not too well but you will never to, admit.
The years are flying by and the time is drawing near.
Sooner than you think, you'll have to face the fear
That you dread so much without another chance
To change your course of action and so, your circumstance.
Soon you shall be old and you will be all alone
With not one soul to Love you, except perhaps a crone
To make your life as miserable as you have to others, done;
To reap your Just Rewards, trapped in the web you have spun.

It's not easy being 14,
I should know.
And falling in love is harder to believe.
Most people think you're a kid,
even when you don't.
Everything is really not what it seems.
Living this life,
just means following your dreams.
Oh, 14 is the life,
you live will be most memorable.
People will catch you when you fall.
Even if you stumble it's ok,
you're only 14.
Don't worry about it,
it'll come someday.
Being 14,
wow life goes by fast!
Sometimes you get a second chance
to think things over,
remember what's good,
and follow your heart.
Do what you have to do.
Show people the real you.
Yeah,
You'll make mistakes,
but that's what life's all about.
You're only 14.
Don't rush.
Life's gonna come sooner than you think.
At first,
It all might be too much.
But you're a strong girl.
Don't get down over all those little things.
Prepare yourself for your future,
but take life all in.
You can miss it very easily.
Being 14,
well, for now,
that's me!!
This is dedicated to all those 14 year old girls out there that have been through alot..I've
been there and I just wanted to give some advice :)
We are often burdened till our faith becomes undone
So torn between what's right and wrong and our last song has been sung
Days of endless stress, not knowing what to do
For we've run out of answers
Theirs no answers coming through
Just speak the name that's above all names and everything will change
He take what you can't handle and your life he'll rearrange
When your burdens overcome you and your backs against the wall
When you speak the name of Jesus, you'll overcome it all
Speak his name....Oh speak his name
Savior of the World, Every day the same
Speak his name, Speak his name
Don't turn and walk away form him, for you'll never be the same Speak his name
Little is much when God is in it, so don't feel so trodden down
I'm here to speak a word to you, soon you'll step on higher ground
For in his name there's victory, and Victory shall be mine
And I am counting you in, He's calling come and dine
On the riches of his Glory, let him hold you close
So that you can feel his power, and his Holy Ghost
He is coming sooner...Oh sooner than you think
Faster than the speed of light , faster than a wink...
Friend, you know where you stand you have so much to gain
And in the end, you'll just begin, so right now, just speak his name
Thoughts of her
consume my mind,
as they race
to be replaced by another.
This love reverie
of what I hope will be
the joy of love-
it's unlike any other!
There are we two
and as lovers often do,
we embrace
as our hearts intertwine.
Though I know it is a dream
I hope one day
it will all seem
to be true
"Someday, Somehow, Sometime!"
"Someday....
real love will come your way-
Somehow....
the words of love you'll say-
Sometime....
will be here sooner than you think!
Someday....
she'll reach and take your hand-
Somehow....
this love you'll understand-
Sometime....
look love in the eyes-
but don't dare blink!"
One does not waste time
searching for real love,
nothing ventured
is surely nothing gained.
To dream of a loved one
to give your heart to
is how the wonders
of love's dreams
are attained!
If you do not believe
your heart cannot achieve
FULLFILMENT-
love's absolute prize-
because....
"Someday, Somehow, Sometime"
WITHOUT WARNING!!!....
love will appear
right before
your very eyes!
"Someday....
real love will come your way-
Somehow....
the words of love you'll say-
Sometime....
will be here sooner than you think!
Someday....
she'll reach and take your hand-
Somehow....
this love you'll understand-
Sometime....
look love in the eyes-
but don't dare blink!"
It only takes a moment
to be struck by love,
there's no mistaking it
for other
than what it is.
The soul of real love
is a world unto itself-
more precisely
it is a world
known as bliss!
So do make preparations
for this coming event,
for to love
is an honor that's true,
because...
"Someday, Somehow, Sometime"
when least expected,
out of nowhere
your love will find you!
"Someday....
real love will come your way-
Somehow....
the words of love you'll say-
Sometime....
will be here sooner than you think!"
Someday....
she'll reach and take your hand-
Somehow....
this love you'll understand-
Sometime....
look love in the eyes-
but don't dare blink!"
IT’S A WARNING, PEOPLE BEWARE
PREPARE YOUR MIND, ATOMIC BOMB SCARE
FIND YOURSELF, AN UNDERGROUND SHELTER
OR BE TRAPPED OUTSIDE, IN HELTER SKELTER
BATTLE ARMAGEDDON, IS COMING SOON
LIKE MODERN DAY TOMBSTONE, AT HIGH NOON
(bridge)
IT’S COMING, IT’S COMING DESTRUCTION DAY
IT’S NOT THE BLAST, IT’S TOXIC RADIATION
LEVEL ALL THE CITIES, DESTROY THE NATION
UNITED STATES, RUSSIA, CHINA AND IRAN
THINK ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN, SURVIVAL PLAN
SOONER THAN YOU THINK, LIFE WILL BE OVER
THIS IS A MESSAGE FOR ALL TO TAKE COVER
(chorus)
IT’S COMING, IT’S COMING, IT’S COMING
DESTRUCTION DAY
IT’S COMING, IT’S COMING, IT’S COMING
GET ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY
THIS IS YOUR LAST WARNING, PEOPLE BEWARE
PERPARE YOUR MIND ATOMIC BOMB SCARE
UNITED STATES, RUSSIA, CHINA AND IRAN
THINK ABOUT YOUR CHILDREN, SURVIVAL PLAN
THIS IS A MESSAGE FOR ALL TO TAKE COVER
SOONER THAN YOU BLINK, IT WILL ALL BE OVER
(chorus)
IT’S COMING, IT’S COMING, IT’S COMING
DESTRUCTION DAY
IT’S COMING, IT’S COMING, IT’S COMING
GET ON YOUR KNEES AND PRAY
(repeat chorus)
DESTRUCTION DAY IS COMING
LEARN HOW TO PRAY
It’s nighttime when the goblins come
And whisper in my head
“Before you wake from dreamland, girl
Who is the next one dead?
When will the good days that you live
Take on a ghastly turn?
It's coming sooner than you think
the time when dreams will burn.
You lie in bed of privilege
And shoo us all away
Yet well you know that things might change
When you see light of day
Vile illnesses abide their time
Your youth’s not meant to last
Each ache and pain a testament
Old age is coming fast
Catastrophes are round the bend
Don’t think that you’ll be spared
Security snatched in the storm
Your fears will all be bared
So slumber if you think you can
Close now those eyes real tight
While we all dance around your bed
And party through the night"
Eileen Manassian
You know that feeling, the feeling of being hurt by a loved one
The one that gets you reeling, life no longer seeming to be fun
When you felt a certain way only to find out you assumed wrong
For our emotion can often betray for I am not nearly that strong
It's only later you come to realize that that just wasn't the case
When something inside just dies and now all you feel is disgrace
You said some really stupid things and even though you're sorry
It's the consequences that it brings because they will always be
Now try imagining this, doing the same thing but to God instead
A point one might miss until that day they speak of you as dead
Such the feeling you'd receive in now knowing You were wrong
Oh how the soul will grieve for without Jesus oh how it will long
But you are not finished and that sentence is not yet complete
A point not to be diminished especially when life seems replete
As one day it will be too late maybe even sooner than you think
As I said this is your fate, but it could all be over in a blink
for King & Country - It's Not Over Yet
War should be no more - I hope everyone could be together in unity &
accord & sing in a chorus of pure, dazzling bliss! I smell the odor of remorse and
hatred in the atmosphere...leaving me with scraps of terrifying fears & reducing
me to tears...stains of scarlet regret and pride is smeared on the swords of murderers - and they blame it on their frustration, pain and determination...competition is encouraged on these killing grounds and a peaceful frame of mind was never built here.
Aim towards the bull's eye - concentrate with your might...we're gonna get
through this plight whether we like it or not...do productive things to deal with
our anger and angst - reap what you sow and face your fates like a man...be
strong, be brave and be prepared to face your fears tonight! HUMBLE YOURSELVES and MOVE ON...move forward and dream of brighter days...the smoked-up, ebony and vermilion skies will fade away sooner than you think . . . confrontation embraces you all...but keep your head above the surface
Rage is thrown back and forth like a hot potato - who wins? Who has gone
missing? N-no one knows on the mysterious battle grounds or fields of endless
revenge..it smells of death and determination all in one...fight the fantastic fight
with triumphant victory close at hand! Here's some grand land that serves as our
resting spots - be peace-makers; be not back-biters, discord-makers or commotion-
brewers, sowing discord from head to toe! Graze in your own mazes of graceful grasslands of plenty and you'll be found in peace, instead of lost in chaos
Words of the past.
Babbling like a baby,
Dying from the drama.
These words smell funny.
Many years since then.
Crying over useless things,
Blowing money on candy.
Check the expiration date.
Things have totally changed.
No asking mom for rides,
Waking for work instead of school.
This has gone rotten.
Looking back on it all.
All of the silly decisions,
Lots of time down the drain.
Time to throw it out.
Throwing away childhood.
It's like spoiled milk,
Ages quickly with a lingering aroma.
Time to throw it out.
Time to buy another gallon of Milk.
For another phase,
The Milk of Adulthood.
Enjoy it while it lasts.
It'll spoil sooner than you think.
Lord of the flies henchman of the destroyer justice will be like a thief in the night
a mark is clearly visible signs the pact under destructive acts
Swift the reason befalls un troops are landing on your soil hidden low key
under the radar marshal law will be declared on those opposing
To arrest high profile war criminals hiding rats amongst elite bodies dark eyes
as evidence has stacked up against them no turning backwards time
Now even using chemical weapons killing many of their own troops caught
in crossfires with hired guns among women and children victims ensnared
Tortured in camps its all coming to pass sentence voices of the dead echo
mark my words with a cross good always triumphs in the end over evil
Together and out there your judgement is falling from high position
titles lost shackled by steel forged from fires of your own makings hell
It snowed in Baghdad yesterday;
The Whales will have to find
Somewhere else to go;
The Islands are SOLD OUT.
The traffic in the sky
Is going to get worse;
As the Earth floods again,
The Lost City of New Orleans comes to mind.
Noah looked out his window,
And it was unseasonably warm,
Not a cloud in the sky.
He decided to go fishing,
But when he got to the ocean
They told him it was CLOSED for renovations.
The gods looked up from
Their studio apartment in the ghetto.
"He doesn't realize the flood
Will come from below,"
One of them says, which is not important.
“The land named by RED which was inappropriately christened
For one thing it is not, GREEN
Is the stage it will take place on.”
"The people want to know WHEN?" the God of Traffic asks.
"Tell them, sooner than you think,"
Says the God of Money,
Who knows death is imminent.
The Almighty Dollar goes home,
And takes a bath with a bread maker,
As Noah tries to resurrect
A miniature version of his ark inside a bottle of ABSOLUT.

so you’re off to climb Mount Everest
but have no training…
my advice:
pack a lunch ~ good luck
see you soon
(as in sooner than you think)
AP: Honorable Mention 2025
as all of earth beats down on you
don't give up because theres always hope
orchestras exhale striking chords
the end of life might come sooner than you think
emotions raised to a high crescendo
all youve ever wanted in the palm of a hand
silence reverberates within loneliness
who do you go home to
solitude and a lack of time
imagine words formed without sound
if you can then youll understand
apocalyptic nuisances scream out with joy
you feel like youre sinking low
but waves appear to raise you high
guitars and drums sound out in recklessness
oh can you hear oh can you hear
ears burst forth from every angle
no one sleeps tonight but emptiness
we are not alone we are not alone we are not alone
You dig a tunnel and blind it with velvelt
You throw a rose on the velvelt and welcome me to the throne
What do you call my crime?
You water down my wine and whittle down the sparkle
You savour my stew and make holes in the cooking pot
What do you say I did?
You sling stones and go under the mortar
The gods are not blind oh you smart snake
Sooner than you think the pestle will find the mortar.
