Jesus May Save but God Certainly Kills
Jesus May Save but God Certainly Kills
How many people did Satin kill?
We don’t know and never will.
But we do know of many that God has killed.
Entire populations’ death he fulfilled.
Kill them all, God would command.
The Israelites obeyed and did what God Planned.
Excuses given, we’re told so many.
But never a good one although they are plenty.
The

Certainly Love
The only place where there is no math of loss or gain,
The only thing which runs existence, which runs blood through veins.
While devoting to each other, you become nonexistent;
The only thing that's worth doing—that's for certain.
You stare at each other, you resonate with each other, you hold

No Hate is Certainly Working
I was glad to escape the school run by demon spawn
thrilled to extricate myself from this hell-hole
disengage from a hateful situation
distangle myself from the mess they call normal
I am pretty sure the students feel the same way
Their “no hate” campaign is working.
Brain research shows that if you say “don’t climb that tree”
a person must

He Is Certainly Built
Oh, my, he is certainly built! The women said of the knight.
He was hidden in armor that was truly marvelous and right.
If he had half the muscles his armor had, he was a catch.
He is my hero a lady-in-waiting said, I think he’ll be my match!
He must pump the iron, and he can call me

It Certainly Would
When the wisest man in the world said
"It would be a tragic shame if ever
The Great Forest were to be reduced
To a small clump of trees."
Everyone, without exception, answered
"It certainly would."
So when The Great Forest
Was eventually reduced
To a small clump of trees,
That is what they decided to call it ...
It Certainly Wood.

Certainly May
The browns from the winter
have all changed to green.
The harsh and sharp edges
are mossy and soft.
The breeze is more gentle:
no clouds in the sky.
The robins are nesting;
the hawk is aloft.
The creek beds have water,
no longer harsh ice,
clear pools in the shade,
inviting and nice.
With sun on your shoulders,
a breeze in your face,
a feast for the

This Is Certainly Love
Prove the antagonisms,
dare to cede to impulses
be perplexed by chasms,
not living before pulses ...
Not having out of love,
warmth, shelter and rest

Boat of Interest
BOAT OF INTEREST
Something troubles us certainly
Something always drums trouble
To us
Some have children yet pockets of
Troubles outside childbearing lives
With them closely
Some can eat but no food while
Others have abundance but with
Much troubles dancing around them
Some have wealth without heir
Many have heirs without wealth
Yet many sticks of troubles live
Behind them like family garden
Some are beautifully rich but

Abundant Certainly I Am a Little Lamb a Child of God
Abundant
A certainly
Coming ever before me

Based confessions
Exposing me
I come before you
Please, Lord show me
I am just a lamb and you’re my Sheppard
I’m just a lamb and I confess this
I just a lamb and I am also your child

I Certainly Put My Foot In It - Halloween Boo
I went out to trick or treat
wearing fake bloodstained hands and feet
Soon I began to get prickly heat
So I jettisoned them in the street
The finder went as white as a sheet
Then dropped dead with no heartbeat
Now I’m feeling like dead meat
How could I be so indiscreet!

A Stomping Ground Is Most Certainly Not a Stamp On An Envelope
A meathead is definitely not an ostracised ostrich, a warbling wavering walrus, a small but vintage vibrant beetroot who claps in time, a mascot at a match, a backwards facing grinning umbrella in bright sunlight, an automatic dimmer switch winking, nor is it a tattoo of a cartoon place-mat. Basements cook eels. Slip slide slip

He Certainly Ain't No Cat
I am a carnivorous feline, red in tooth and claw,
I climb in through the windows and I creep in through the door
And hide in secret places where I can sleep all day.
