While many fast and pray
Some pray alone
Many give arms with a little say
Though answers are God's own
Train your mind
Bewildering your heart
To be of focus to find
Mercy beyond your current disturbing fault
Pay homage to His names
With due respect
To His kingdom's glory first
Glorious is He to hear out your claims
But before you pray
Try as much to forgive
Before you clear your way
Sharpen your tool; avoid its captive
Misusing grace is dreadful
Most misused never enjoy another chance
Judas never had for his act so collusive
Though all happened to give Christ's glory its rise
Use your gift
For the gift of the spirit
Ends on earth
While the seed of the spirit springs unending end forth
We are of different grace
Run your own race
Don't judge anyone
Even you can't perfect your own
A soured milky creamy frosting
On top
With a pecan and coconut
Filling.
I wish this carrot ,date,and
raisin cake to be dessert
From supper.
I hunger and wish such to
be with a congac glaze
that introduces the sweetened
Lactose to my tongue
Might the cake Gods and
Goddess wish me best
That a chef shall do this
That the dessert wines
May tease there agenda
And cuddle me be satisfied!
Some days linger like a song
You cannot rid your brain of
Slow minutes tick all day long,
When push comes to shove
Everything seems to go wrong.
Just getting through is a fight
Success is, ohhh, so elusive
Nothing seems to go right,
Even your peers seem collusive
Better just to stay out of sight.
Tomorrow will be better, I say,
Portending you'll reach your goal
Anything better than today,
When your gut stymies your soul
And nothing at all goes your way.

Bedazzled
that's how it hits you
all important WHAP SLAP look at that
coloured lights bling
and place your faith in
fixation on yet another political criminal
Bedazzled
shazam
sham or scam
will save you as you walk through
the plagiarized passages of doubt
yep
for sure
there is a way out
and a place to place your faith
in a tangle ball of wool
the felonious cats have played with
Chew yourself on that dry hairy fur ball
Claws of rhetoric
BAM WAP WOW
dazzles sycophantic
tells you every-think you think you want to hear
and put all your trust here, there, everywhere
and chomp on the placebo
of yet another political criminal
Different face
same photo-fit voice
burbling, fur-balling, the same old words
your introduction into their criminal world
KAPOW KABANG
bedazzled
and you're falling for it all over again
the collusive world
destroying the lives of every single human
Chew yourself on that dry hairy fur ball
Obstruction of Corruption
If it really was inclusive
Could it also be intrusive
And had it been obstructive
What it created was corruptive
All confused with collusive.
Here are some tweaks
for you lawyer freaks.
