Best Unrighteousness Poems
Repentance is hurt that leads you to healing
Fall on your knees and pray to learn how to deal with your feelings
From all your past sins and from all your past mistakes
It doesn’t matter Jesus died for all our sakes
All we have to do is confess our sins from our mouth
Before you know it God will surely bring you out
He is the only one who doesn’t hold a grudge
Even when you slip and fall He’ll give you that extra nudge
God will pick us up when we do stumble down
Will stand us up again and turn us back around
Will lead His children down the path of His righteousness
While holding us together with all His mightiness
Don’t listen to satan tell you that God doesn’t forgive you
His job is to keep you from getting your prayers through
If you are godly sorry in all the sins that you do
Remember repenting to our Lord is what is needed to get your message through.
1 John 1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just
to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness

Unblouse your breast
Where to nuzzle and warm
Areola to moisten and mouth
Urgency need, I scarce was born
Unclothe me in all unrighteousness
Sing for me no lullabye
Fetus reflection in alabaster eyes
Yours will forgive me, so softly they plead
The call in my eyes , so loving beguiled
Answers my whisper
Inaudibly you whimper
Reaching for the hearth of your home
Furthermost far, the call of the grave
But if I should die, please bury me here
We slipped passed the guards, their caution neglect
Our passion en-garde, the phallus erect
Discover a pebble in fissurely crag
Rolling in wonders and nacred in pearl
Both of us crying exhortations of love
Loving ungainly like giraffe on the run
Speaking in gibberish, talking in tongues
Becoming immortal banging the drum
Surpassing the portal the bloodhounds unleash
I Mount Vesuvius, youre so within reach
Im falling for you in tubular bells
Demolition crawls
Pots and pans all over the place
Flaming torpedos pock-mark the Earth
Harpooning the squid in ink fibrillation
Ecclectic joy in sense celebration
Two souls arriving from deep within
In baptismal breath I was born once again

Lord, my words are not enough to praise You.
You have given me so much.
You have taken that which was worthless,
And given it great value;
For You ransomed my soul with the very blood,
Of Your Own precious Son.
What greater value hath anything, Oh Lord,
Than that for which The King of Kings would,
So willingly lay down His life.
You have loved me more than anyone else ever could,
Even when I loved You not.
I'm sorry that I hurt You, Lord.
Even now that I know You well,
Sometimes I hurt You still, and I'm sorry.
Because of You I am no longer worthless.
I fell from Your Grace and wallowed in sin, guilt and shame,
But You, My Lord, lifted me up and cleansed me from all unrighteousness.
You held me close to Your heart and forgave me,
For everything I ever did to hurt You.
I love You, Father.
Thank You, for loving me so much.
AMEN

Prose
There was a cloud hung over him
a presence, an impending doom.
He seemed one lightning strike away
from enlightenment - or entombment.
Haunted by the stigma of divine dissatisfaction
a wanderer in a spiritual maelstrom
questioning the questions of the questioners,
thinking on the thoughts of the thinkers,
worshiping at the edges of heresy,
praying for the efficacy of his prayers.
Hidden in the silence of life’s tomb
innocence interred beneath this “cloud”.
The sun never shone, the rain never fell,
on the unrighteousness of the righteous.

To the GOD of all creation:
First of all PAPA GOD, I ask YOU to forgive me and cleanse
me from all unrighteousness and cleanse my heart and my
mind for, I know that I have opened my mouth and spoken things
that would have much better left unsaid and now, I want to come to YOU and pray for our nation and family members who do not know YOU.
So now LORD, I ask YOU that YOU would touch this nation and
our leaders, our President and his family, our Vice President
and his family and all other members of his administration.
LORD I also ask that YOU would protect members of the press that
are unveiling what is happening deep inside this nation
at its core. I ask that every serving member of Congress,
and the Senate, Judges, our Pentagon and military, be touched by
YOUR SPIRIT, LORD that YOU would pour out YOUR SPIRIT
one more time on this nation which has strayed so far away from
YOU. GOD, that YOU would give us another chance, individually and
collectively as a nation to REPENT before the GOD of the ages.
Would YOU pour out of YOUR SPIRIT – a sin-killing revival
a devil stomping, BLOOD bought revival… Would YOU pour out
the FEAR OF GOD, that people could know like never before
that YOU are alive and YOU are still on YOUR throne and that they would
come to KNOW JESUS CHRIST as LORD and SAVIOR and that HE
is about to come back to earth for HIS church – the BRIDE OF CHRIST!
Would YOU touch our unsaved members of our families. Sons
and daughters, mothers and fathers, aunts and uncles, cousins
and nieces and nephews, grandchildren and great grandchildren,
sisters and brothers, in-laws and our neighbors and friends.
OH, GOD, we need YOU like never before!!! We are desperate
for YOUR touch, for YOUR presence, for YOUR leading, for
YOUR love, for YOUR forgiveness as, we have sinned before
YOU. LORD, YOU are needed and desired by many, many people
– please touch us again! Be LORD of this nation once again!!!
And, touch YOUR people, ISRAEL once again!
LORD, thank YOU for listening to my prayer and I am thanking
YOU for answering!!!
I love you LORD! YOUR daughter, Marilyn

Narrative
The sea summons in unrelenting whispers
haunting the night as waves spin their spliced harrowing tales
Hallowed echoes an unending scourge over tenderness
weeping secrets wait held in bondage’s everlasting kiss
Terrified to speak as translation becomes disloyalty
aching is betrayal and compassion is flammable fragility
One misstep and balance becomes twisted alienated from truth
as fear takes hold from these toxic dissonant words
Scathing reproach becomes buried beneath tidal swells
carrying out its inevitable pilgrimage towards unrighteousness
Cold suspicion scatters on the shores in broken shells
trapped by suffering and tormented by long ago betrayals
Decaying memories never lived once imagined still dwell unanswered
this is not love quietly whispers on the wind of denial's farewell....

Forgiven
She wore a scarlet letter on her back
Tied up with chains
That strangled and kept her from being free.
She could barely breathe…
Her guilt and shame worn like a cloak around her back.
As she tries to hold her head up high,
the weight of all her stains pushes it down.
As she sits in the back row trying to be invisible.
There is talk of forgiveness and repentance…
For one such as she?
Surely not?
The man of God spoke as if he knew her.
He told a story of a women at a well
encountering Jesus.
Could this Jesus love a filthy slave like her?
As she pondered this repentance story,
She gave her mind to possibilities.
Maybe, she would give this kind of love a chance.
She felt a love surround her,
As if a warm gentle summer breeze had lifted her
and the glorious rays of the sunniest beach day
came down upon her shoulders.
She felt the weight of the heavy burdensome chains,
drop around her feet.
She felt clean and different.
A freedom that took flight in her spirit
Reminded her of the eagle
She had seen flying high above the clouds
Giving hope…
Could one really feel this clean?
She walked out that day
Onto a new path,
that went in the opposite direction.
No longer was she wrapped in chains.
The scarlet letter wiped away.
Forgiven like the women at the well,
Her head was high as her spirit took flight
Things would never be the same!
The angels in the heavenly realm
cried tears of joy
That mixed with hers,
flowing freely down her face.
Washing away all the pain of her past
A pure white robe placed upon her…
Cleaned by the blood of the lamb.

It all begins in the darkest part of our empty souls.
When we realize we won't or can't possibly reach our goal.
We gnash out bloodied teeth, crying to a crimson sky,
Lashing out..... "Why, why, why?"
So we bring out our heavy clubs and our iron chains.
And just like Nazis kill people with our words and ignorant
quills and propagandized brains.
There's not a scintilla of humor whatsover involved in this.
Just knives, cruel words and even our baseball bats and fists.
Keep reading and listening to hateful words and soon they
are your own.
The grass you walk on turns to broken glass, your hateful
words become shards that you cannot disown.
Making fun of others or belittling them to mere nothings?
Is one Hall of Fame to save ourselves from and find positive
moorings and dockings.
To take the gift of poetry and turn it into a hapless mockery?
Is surely is no show of goodness, humanity, nor is it poetic gallantry.

Exodus23:1 "You shall not circulate a false report.
Do not put your hand with the wicked to be an
unrighteousness witness.
No matter who originates the accusation, we should
not repeat and spread it."
Lots of people in the Bible have been innocently accused
and since.
*It goes on daily on the Internet and so called news sources*

If you can see with eyes of a child
and allow amazement and wonder to be your guide
without fear or doubt
If you can understand the weakness of those who lie
to cover their own frailties
and not set judgment or fault even if the lies are about you
If you can be truthful without using truth as a sword
yet be passionate in your ways without compromising your soul
to those who feast on such things
keeping your honor in trials of decisions
If you can stand to face unrighteousness
and do so in quiet measured confidence
allowing for a peaceful resolution
and can carry life's burdens without complaint
helping those who struggle to do so
finding reasons to help without being asked
or seek restitution for your help
If you can do all these things
then you will be worthy to be called a friend

28 You, LORD, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.
Psalm 119:105
105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
Matthew 5:16
16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
1 John 1:5-9
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 8 If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

THE PLIGHT OF MAN NO ONE UNDERSTANDS---
The plight of man no one understands;
His spiritual self is fused;
Together with physical man;
His flesh often is totally used;
To promote the wrong choices;
Often not hearing those voices;
As for his judgments clouded;
Often misguided by those wrong choices;
That he formed to choose;
Place recognition of the conditions;
Thought of compliance never to lose;
Paying homage to the piper;
The one playing his horn;
Screaming policies and views;
Help to deliver positive and better news;
His spiritual self is fused;
Together with physical man;
His flesh often is totally used;
Judgments come, judgment calls;
Remembering all those sins/wrongs I’ve done;
For no one is perfect, except Lord Jesus;
For He took on my sins;
All my unrighteousness, changed to blessedness’
Now I’m His next of kin;
Yes I no longer hide my face;
For you see now I’m a sinner saved by GRACE
So my brother/sister my fellow man;
The plight of man no one understands;

always comforting beyond my grievous weeping
Thank You for consoling me in my frustration-groping
Truly lifting me up when I lament, miserably coping while hoping
Indeed supplying me with Your blessings that are heaping.

Seeking Forgiveness
Written: by Miracle Man
12-16-2019
Within each day are happenings,
which can never be erased.
Once wrongs have been inflicted,
in history they’re eternally encased.
Things that will rest forever,
in minds, under the sun.
While people may say, I forgive,
Only God can forget what’s done.*
*Hebrews 8:12
King James Bible
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Lyric
Our father who art in heaven
Forgetting the son and his holy sacrament
Wandering in a maze, looking for atonement
Disavowing God, we bow to evil temptations
God is growing weary of his sinful creation
Hallowed be thy name
We constantly profane the Kings monicker
Rebuking displays regarding the creator
Disbelieving in the immaculate conception
God is growing weary of his sinful creation
Thy kingdom come thy will be done
Freewill creatures ignoring the warnings
Hastily striding toward the end of mornings
He has set the time for earth’s annihilation
God is growing weary of his sinful creation
On earth as it is in heaven
Adam and Eve the first created beings
Creation immoral from the very beginning
Inviting sin into their perfect habitation
God is growing weary of his sinful creation
Give us this day our daily bread
Refusing to eat from the table of life
Dining on lies, as we wallow in strife
Children dying from spiritual malnutrition
God is growing weary of his sinful creation
Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
The world was cleansed by the great flood
Human’s given hope, by a sacrifice of blood
Unable to forgive we await a fiery termination
God is growing weary of his sinful creation
Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
Willing walking the path of unrighteousness
Passing the point where we can seek forgiveness
Time has run out for this sinful congregation
The son has returned destroying creation
For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever amen

Red blood splashes on muddy terrain:
ambushes booby traps fatigue jackets
waiting for the enemy... 98 degrees in the sun,
encountering and returning fire; life barely there
and war’s longest refrain plays on.
There is no jury within hostile grounds,
despite patriotism caught between triggers
as shadows of night weep for freedom’s balm;
no courtroom, unlike before, to defend prisoners
of the Wall, or Mekong… their scraped turmoil
diluted over canned loaf and juice, unheard.
Young knees deep in enemy ‘s clay…
a voice ringing, “ Shoot!”, a motto of allegiance
for homeland, while the instinct to live
kicks, rams into higher gear… young soldiers
too focused to see the eye of fear.
Where is the jury within hostile ground?
Only heaven can discern a topsy-turvy
sense of man's unrighteousness...
As war’s longest refrain plays on, and on.
