Christ founded the church for believers as a calling,
but dissension in many churches is appalling.
He wants harmony, not disquieting,
we should be pleasing to our loving King.
Some people have felt turned away,
some for being gay.
How can we serve God united,
when some are slighted,
The church is His bride,
He will come for her in a blessing time,
set your eyes and hearts on He who reigns,
let the church be welcoming and not cause pain. ~
In the depths of bloodied water
Laying in the sludge of misunderstanding
Where the mud of history buries itself
War awaits us all
Disguised and deeply present
Buried in the marrow of timeless sentiment
Hidden in the sediment of vile undertakers
Employing the caskets of our children
To testify in shallow graves and markers of hate
War is the ghoul of our fallacious goodwill
The pacemaker of our alienated heartbeats
The vision of our counterfeit purpose
The throttle of our fearful lives
Running off the energy of ignorance
No longer can I wait
To cross a peaceful shore
Nevermore, nevermore
Evermore
The sky was filled with starlight,
clear as transparent glass.
Yet everyone seemed uptight -
the judges who ruled en masse,
earthly stars who shone over-bright.
A winner would be chosen tonight -
one whose talent could not pass,
one whose speaking would ignite,
one whose manner boasted crass
one whose dress was way-too-tight,
Miss Nomer true, would have no might.
yet she’d become the favored lass
who'd speak out for her city's spite -
in a state of civil impasse,
with its past of assault outright.
The sky transparent filled the night
the starlight was but broken glass.
The also-rans who rued their plight
attacked Miss Nomer's verbal sass
who stood her ground with sharp backbite.

many prefaces
emphasis on Ephesus
said on premises
what we do intend
hand of friendship did extend
love of God will lend
had a huge hassle
trying to put on my tassel
to ground will wrestle (wraahstle)
others have been caught
open email rather not
wife will have me shot
did declare a truce
for communion have grape juice
or tie neck in noose
free for all was fair
she had ripped out all my hair
now my head is bare
God brought me along
what we saw became a song
heard by a huge throng
feet started to soak
then found frog who liked to croak
he had become broke
God who does bestow
caused popularity to grow
put on quite a show
God always redeems
made Boles great on balanced beams
became party of her dreams
went walking down hall
following hall protocol
be sure to not fall
made my life fuller
became puller and pusher
of hope plush pillar
was worth waiting for
heard a message ship to shore
we have won the war
found a place for poor
in big house on a beach shore
now need an encore
after dissension
God gave me His permission
accept a commission
I am a witness of the Lord awaiting his return have it is forthcoming I want to be alive to visualize~

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
Shattered minds;
Distance skies;
Broken heart;
Fleeting times;
Battle cries;
Blood pressure has risen pops!!
Voyage is limber;
Token miss figures
Confusion surprise;
Anxiety montage;
Arrive at this dissension
Help us O' Lord

Trump Can Be Causing Dissension
Trump can be causing dissension in the ranks,
And discovered much of it is contained in tanks;
A big blur,
Did occur,
Appearing when he pulls off all of his pranks.
Jim Horn
In Ranks Did Discover Dissension
While mumbling about then did mention,
Ended up going to a Trump convention;
Many had loitered;
Then reconnoitered;
In ranks we did discover much dissension.
Jim Horn
Jesus Did Suffer From Dissension
Jesus did suffer from much dissension,
Followed by delusion and then derision;
We were free at last,
From our sinful past;
No longer was He in the world's prison.
Jim Horn
Dissension, Apprehension, Decision
Must make decision;
If there is apprehension
Will have dissension.
This is what happens between
and among the ranks. Jim Horn
Now he said
My frustration is well fed
But her attention didn't hear
How his desires bled
Then she continue to wait
For the one of her fate
And his words are late
As they slept in silenced state
Whenever herself, she asks
Who is the one of her dreams
Out there in the vast, he bask
Hidden away in the sun's beams
When tangled hope yields to the sadness,
That sweeps like madness in a perigee tide
My soul silently abandons redress
Steady sun sings struggles of my weakness
Its rays chide that the light cannot abide
When tangled hope yields to the sadness
Thick sorrow of humanity manifests
Releasing its turmoil within drawn sighs
My soul silently abandons redress
Comfort comes through forgetfulness, unless
The gnawing fear refuses to subside
When tangled hope yields to the sadness
Because the darkness remains unaddressed
I am forced daily to cry and abide,
My soul silently abandons redress
Yet I cannot contain the emptiness
And only God knows how hard I’ve tried
When tangled hope yields to the sadness
My soul silently abandons redress
