Fishers Of Men
Father, who entrusted me with his mission of salvation
Will provide me with labourers to realize this goal.
Pondering, he roamed around in disciple formation.
They will, like fish, gather to the kingdom of God, each soul.
Waves of humans from every walk of life were collected.
The new teacher, as though a magnet, attracted everyone.
His smile, like full-moon elegance,

I Am the Blue Marlin
I was made
To venture undulating time
And chase the tides forever facing forward
Through glinting waves by unknown shores
I migrate
The oceans’ warm currents for
Thousands of miles yearly, continuing
Always onward, always embraced by water
I am
The mighty blue marlin mirroring a sight
Of the blue heavens above, divinely
I was created to

Fishers and Men
We use animals to catch animals like 'fighting crime' in Chicago.
Shouldn't this be the point we think
about four fingers going in with a crooked thumb,
maybe rusting with whitlow,
taking hold of the silver on a sardine,
putting hooks through what supposed
to be its lungs should make us think
of Kentucky's Best & Reefer, not the buzz, but the

FISHERS OF MEN
Thy tender lips speak seduction
Thy eyes as charming as the stars
Thy buttocks a drummer's vibe
Thy thoughts lingers on a man's wealth
Thy love buried beneath the abyss of lies
Thy heart as slippery as an okra soup
Doesn't last a second in one hand
A hand full of men thou desires
One goes and thou finds

Goldstones and a Dried Fishers Net
THEY CAST NET
IN THE WATERS
THE FISHES WERE
NETTED AND
WAITED HARVEST
THERE NETS WERE
TORN AND DRIED UP
AND THE FISH THEY
CAUGHT FELL BACK
INTO THE SEA
THEY CURSED THE CREW
AND FOUND FAULT IN MANY
THEY TURNED THEIR SHIP
BACK TOWARD THE SHORE
THEY SPOKE OF THE
MEN'S WIVES AS HARLOTS
SLUTS AND WHORES
THEY TOLD THEM TO TAKE
THEIR THINGS
AND LEFT THESE

A Fishers Tail
It was another day, another glorious dawn I was in her bosom!
Here there were no trees no grass no blossom
Her sweet smell filled the air. We all of us men were her lovers!
We were all happy to be here with her. In her lair
She could have a calm demeanor or a passionate temper.
Today

Fishers of Men
In saying follow Me, Jesus then made something else clear
As also contained in His decree is what He holds most dear
Always worried about the others in calling them lost sheep
Preaching we are Brothers and from these actions we reap
Like a candle under a basket or a voice not willing to sing
He paid your entire debt

Fishers Fair
Oh my friend of fishers fair.
Of all those waters we wish to dare.
Those lures and lines of many happy times.
Trout unlimited and desired wines.
Your gleaming smile and voice of care,
many more times are that of which we will share.
And that big fire in which you built,
the flames held many feelings in which are glid.

Fishers of Men
As Peter and Andrew were called to fish
in the lake of souls of men.
So too are we called to cast the net
just the same as it was back then.
Will your life be a beacon to guide someone
to a home in the sweet by and by;
or will

Fishers of Men
VII. I’ve never walked on water. I’ve never calmed a storm. I’ve never fed a
multitude with fish and bread. Brother, I think it’s time to change your attitude. Follow Jesus
and He’ll make you fishers of men.
CH. Cast your nets on the other side of the water and you’ll be fishers of
