Enabling Poems


Premium MemberYou Get What You Pay For

It’s a truism that you get what you pay for
Or vote for or ultimately what you deserve…
But when we pay illegal immigrants
To stay in five star hotels with pre-paid debit cards
And the homeless to just hang out with food stamps,
Cash handouts and Obama phones
What do we expect will happen
But for the problem to grow! 
And so we watch a nation crumble
Under the weight of its own excesses
Fueled by bleeding hearts,
With blood collected in taxes
And just poured into the streets
And down the drain.
Where does it end you wonder,
Wherever the sewer takes US.

Premium MemberEnabling

The phone rings and I know 
That you will beg for money
The amount is always too small
Too telling of your situation 

It’s easy to believe lies cries 
From red high eyes 
I despise the disease 
That holds hostage 
Your humanity as you’d steal
Lie kill to support your habit 

At some point you will 
Have to face your demons
The reasons you use 
Are too many and too few
And I am tired simply tired
Of trying to save you from yourself 

It’s not that I don’t care
I am painfully aware
That you do not
Not enough to trust
Tough love and stop
Holding us hostage 
Ripping our hearts
For a snort a sip a dip a puff
All because you can’t get enough 

I’m done being the blame
For your emotional abuse game
Gaslighting and the insane 
Behavior 
Only the savior can save
I’m done enabling

A Heart Unfair

Long was I forced to do for us both,
Now, all I want is you.
How can my heart understand what it does,
Yet, still have that be true?

Premium MemberGod's Enabling

With God’s enabling, I can do His assigned gracious mission
To bring the lost to the Savior Who can transform them from sinning  
To fulfil my part to share the Gospel*, with His compassionate constraining
And help build lives for His glory along His great commission. 

I thank God for His heavenly and divine enabling 
Despite my weakness, He works for my character-development 
Amidst troubles, He comforts me with His tranquil merriment
In my struggles’ wounds, He fights for me, granting triumphant healing.

*1Timothy 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry.

Enabling Failure

Annoying, these crises of goals,
ending with sweet words which consoles,
although a punch could do.
So let us stuff them full of sweet,
until they can’t stand on their feet.
Watch as their plans fall through.
