Seldom has the heart gnome
Where it's going it's continue beatings
Ever fleeting life keeps on in treating
I envision with my ears I fear I see in my dreams
The divisions and screams of the enemies
I am divertive in the cohesive rulings and depraving
I am just a sinner saved by grace misbehaving I am not
Not embarrassed I am in Mercy of Grace saved by Christ

he weeps with thoughts
of depravation,
seeking wholeness as he
is chilled to his putrefying
bones
mossy tombs surround
abandoned graves,
ivy stretches up rock filled
with decay
the raven soars with might-
gliding over death and
destruction,
fearing nothing,
preying on decomposing
souls
like a bloodline to remorse
he fears not sutures from
wounds too scarred to heal
darkness envelopes
(he is abandoned)
emerald fields flourish in
the distance-
they are nourished with
wholeness and warmth,
spreading empty promises
to the weak
-blessed are the ones who are
buried in the abyss of pain

I That Troddeth Through Flames Of Hades To Burn
I that troddeth through flames of Hades to burn
Sheddeth my blacken, snakelike and scaly skin
As glowing embers scorch me, this I did learn
Man has no other course but to wallow in sin.
This dark world, its ungodly gifting of pleasure
Holds sweetest, that taste of our depraving lusts
As evil enfolds life and casts its false treasures
Its blackened winds destroy with their hidden gusts!
Pray tell, which saving grace awaits one's reaching hand
And will wield power, to a long, lost soul rescue
Doom and gloom are true shadows within this land
As rushing storms fly forth to envelope me and you!
As I pray, will you understand my great woe?
Should I run far away, will you too, dare to go?
Robert J. Lindley,
July 12th 1994, ( Why We Know God Exists )
Times are a depraving
If your going to buy a gun
Going to shoot everything everyone
Because someone told you too
If your going to buy a gun
Shoot everything everyone
Then this is what you should do
Start with the 1 who told you too
Shoot everything everyone
Until all your bullets are spent
Then this is what you should do
Love everything everyone
Your work is done
Good
Peace, love
Inspiring, caring, supporting
Compassion, empathy, selfishness, immoral
Destructing, perverting, depraving
Fear, hate
Evil

Reminiscence has turned you apart
Alone thinking of your own part
Awaiting God's shown path
Singing "how great thou hath"
Filled up debt chart
Now a knock tosses your heart
Depraving you your health
Ancestral calling beneath
Just patience,
The future in your presence
Only hope for survival
To live to see your revival
Reminiscence has turned you apart
Alone thinking of your own part
Awaiting God's shown path
Singing "how great thou hath"
Filled up debt chart
Now a knock tosses your heart
Depraving you your health
Ancestral calling beneath
Just patience,
The future in your presence
Only hope for survival
To live to see your revival
Reminiscence has turned you apart
Alone thinking of your own part
Awaiting God's shown path
Singing "how great thou hath"
Filled up debt chart
Now a knock tosses your heart
Depraving you your health
Ancestral calling beneath
Just patience,
The future in your presence
Only hope for survival
To live to see your revival
She bathes my soul within her
Sanguine waters ardently
Inundating my senses whole
I become upon her embrace
We become one spirit aloof
Within both light and darkness
Depraving sharp hunting eyes
Perceiving the mirrors self image
Of high tribulation chiseled
Stone falling across studio floors
Swept scrupulous and surgically
Transfusing this beauty of essence
Upon the humid air of breath
Sweetly scented floral calling
Across unmeasured distances
Trekked of unfettered resolve
Heightening as you draw close
Tending my wounds unshaken
Confidence in trusting touch
Eases tautness now diminishing
Away flying into night taking
Pieces of you in my pocket
Clutching for hope and strength
Of this blossom rooting deeply
Within one another we discover
All that we behold and feared
I give to you willingly…untainted
Wholly my poetic heartsong
Inscribed within and without
My trusted two thousand miles
