Cast away from Heaven!
Seeking to Devour!
Listen to what I'm telling!
As we face the final hour!

It is Now upon us!
Revelation told!
Jesus we do trust!
Satan is his foe!

Lucifer has been plotting!
Look around you'll see! 
He is very cunning!
Trying to deceive!

The bible says it clearly!
Listen closely please!
You will...

The Wretch
Sitting on the porch watching worlds collide
And wondering if the truth will be classified
Sipping a mint julep; knowing I should be horrified
Though I would consider that undignified

Gazing at the players moving their pawns
Fighting against destiny to become icons
Listening to the warriors singing their songs
And to...

At the nearest traffic light
stood a car with all its might
Porsche or some other tool
souped up initially a pretty sight

Than I thought ‘no what a fool’
such a posh car is never cool
driven near a township shack
where ragged beggars work for gruel

Of course the vagrant...

The Poor Wretch
Sluggish suppurating symbol of disgust,
Dragged wailing into a reproachful life
Child of wrath and sloth and lust
All she will ever know is
Strife

Curdled flesh clings to a brittle scaffold
Pebbled orbs recline in sunken hollows
Starving slavering mouth unfolds
Engulfs the world and then it 
Swallows

Gawky appendages waver against a...

Wretch, By Birth
Most interestingly, every time I’m involved in, or connected to anything bad;
My mother most angrily exclaims, “You’re just like your wretched dad.”
This frustrates and confuses me; because I don’t even remember him;
How can we be so identical, when my memory of him is extremely dim?
I...

Neglected Wretch: Him
I can't hide from him 
I am guilty, a sinner so grim
Kill the sorrow 
Of yesterday's tomorrow
My lights grow dim
Especially when I think of HIM
I am truly happy...singing songs that are rather...sappy!   
While I'm on the spotlight 
I've fought battles, even when I...

Miserable Wretch
I search for serenity hopelessly
Deprived of happiness and peace
This brain consumed by misery
Often seems to be my worst enemy
These toxic thoughts drive me insane
Each one contrived by a sickly brain
The result is overwhelming pain
Attempts at self help end in vain
Each struggle ends in crushing defeat
My...

Premium Member A Wretch
Standing by the graveside,
straps lower you down. 
I glance towards heavens high,
where solace seems to frown. 

Broken and bewildered, 
my soul has turned to stone. 
I cannot accept mortality, 
whilst denial fills my own. 

Sinking into grief so deep,
loves price, for being born. 
Death I...

Wretch and Glory
Wretch lives in wealth
Glory is in squalor 
Which is blasphemy?
my pen, tongue, or fact?...

Premium Member Wretch Undone-
I am 
a wretch undone---
 and I took my troubles to the Lord
 and I cried out to Him 

and He answered
My prayers 
and I 
I took my troubles
To the Lord 
Leaving shelter
Needing a cure 
Needing healing 
Need not be alone 
I was a...

Psychic Woes
Flutters a crocodile gecko his thick-edged tail,
And licks his sticky lips with his twisted tongue; 
His eyes ablaze with fire, and in his abdomen, 
Rotten corpses stand erect like haunting tombs.

And now - withering thuds of heavy strides
Drown the boulder, the child’s hideout, 
And a...

we dance, we must
hold hands, squeeze, travel
that maze of emotion 
along each other’s eyes

and wary when I find
myself alone, I plead
please, please, please
do not beget
the wretch’s child...
