The stench of puerile self-aggrandizement wafts through the air, a noxious cloud of platitudes and pomp, as the pusillanimous pustules of pseudo-intellectualism congregate to lavish accolades upon one another. How... amusing. The notion that these self-absorbed aesthetes, ye armchair sybarites, consider themselves arbiters of taste and talent, is nothing short of grotesque. And yet, here it persists, leeches on the cadavers of real artistry, perpetuating a vicious cycle of backslapping mediocrity, as they vomit forth oozing saccharine, cliche-ridden tripe, and elevate it to the status of holy scripture. Quaint indeed. The stench of their ignominy is almost... palpable.
How does it feel to know that playing by the rules was your downfall, I said I would be the last poetess standing because I can do: abattoir hymns of crimson vortices shredding the children to rain sanguinary as viscera chunks hail from above. Sorry ai can’t touch me, it would freak out to even read that. I may not have won many contests, but oops. Hehe.

Let the flames engulf you,
Swallow you whole,
Feel the heat from the pits of your stomach bubble,
Your mouth only utters the word of God,
The holy scripture,
You only utter my name,
Again and again and again and again,
Until it loses it's meaning,
Your vision bathed in red hue as the overwhelming pain pierces your head,
Yet you still kneel before me and pray,
Clutching onto your brown rosary with tears in your eyes, you beg for the end,
This is the end.

I don't have to be a jew, christian, muslim, or any other established religion,
to find their holy scripture images beautiful, and their poetry moving.

What love, what love, what love,
Flowing gracefully down from above
Like sunlit glistening crashing waves
His radiant powerful sea behaves
Swiftly beckoning the morning dove
Oh the majestic soothing splendor
of His love so rich, so tender
Our God is strong, a brilliant light
Warmly, loving, granting sight
Charming our hearts in soft candor
Over and over, the Lion displays
His power and strength¸ His masterful ways
Wistfully, wonderfully bringing us joy
He builds in us His will to employ
In service to others all our days
Filling our souls in blissful rapture
Enjoying this rush our hearts do capture
The fruit of the Spirit, He loves to bring
It inspires our worship as we sing
His Words of love in holy scripture

This may sound like an odd question
when so many reject its message
but its been with us for so long
keeps prodding no matter our age
God is its original divine author
with His supernatural pen, He did write
all these 66 books within are holy scripture
everyone that's read it felt its bite
So many say they don't believe it
but have they actually seriously read
this book penned from God's spirit
tells all that God has said
For this Bible brings transformation
to all who believe its promises within
all who are touched are not the same
it tells how to kill off their sin
History one day will reveal
the purpose God planned before time
that His own word is sufficient
to meet everyone with perfect rhyme

The word of God is my inspiration
holding it close deep in my heart
this is the very word of Almighty God
challenges but encourages in no small part
God has revealed Himself to mankind
through His holy scriptures, He has done
there we shall find who God truly is
shown in the person of Jesus, God's son
This Jesus lived over 2000 years ago
but now He lives by His spirit divine
this living word captivates me totally
showing how this saviour is indeed mine
The effectiveness of holy scripture
is so hard to explain to another
for it affects you from deep within
captivating all your being like no other
Please Lord captivate my heart
to cling relentlessly to your word
fill me with your scriptures blessed
in my heart and mind forever stirred

Every person lives breath upon breath
what if the next one be their last
their total existence comes to a halt
every single one would all be past
Living out one's life shows reality
that there's no denial life is real
it may be depressing, joyful or just plain
but as with an orange you need to peel
Questions come to you along the way
is there a maker of this big globe?
holy scripture shows it has a creator
this was confessed by God's man Job
This reality was evident by God's son
who came to live on earth to show
God's plan to rescue lost mankind
tell them of God for real to know
Life without Christ is false reality
only united to Jesus is real true
then you've promise of life eternal
His spirit indwelling always in you
(I have written this piece about my beliefs about reality, what makes reality. )

All of us have precious things
that to us are personally dear
we may not have silver or gold
but deep down it's abundantly clear
When one is a true believer
in God and His merciful grace
revealed in His son Jesus Christ
one feels loved before His face
This is revealed in Holy Scripture
which comes down from God above
showing HIs affection for this world
sending the message of sovereign love
This God gave His holy word
so to tell bus of the redemption
of a people chosen for Himself
bringing them such precious salvation
Such is the preciousness of scripture
to those who love the Lord their God
having God's promises means so very much
knowing the power in God's mighty sword

Eagle
the heroic power into me
the wings of the bird carry me upstairs to apex crown
oh from the phoenix
I rebirth to the rising sun
it shines me as the dawn reciting holy scripture
Eagle
by the power
I'm to the hero of heroes,
to the God of gods
flying, flying, crossing galaxy after galaxies
to the great emptiness!

We've all got favorite Bible texts
ones we hopefully can bring to mind
each day we may read a Bible passage
hoping for a hidden gem we'll find
But what good does the Bible do?
in our busy lifes so very full
do we really take the time to study?
has it a prominent place to truly rule?
God's holy word has a divine purpose
to be a revolutionary master book
so our life's are so really effected
making us realise it needs be shook
The purpose of holy scripture
is so it will make a change
in our lifes to be so different
positively transforming out of range
God's holy authoritative inerrant book
this is holy spirit's means of impact
working in and through us to be godly
for God's glory this is biblical fact
Quote:
("It's not hard to take well known Scriptures lightly. Sure we've heard and read them. We might even be able to rattle them off quickly. But the Bible wasn't meant to become familiar to us - it was meant to change our lives.)

The truth declares Jesus Christ is risen
as holy scripture tells in it's pages
this Jesus is God incarnate himself
though the world denies as it rages
All of these too thousand years ago
mankind in general still don't believe
giving up every excuse imaginable
fully intent to live on and disbelieve
For this Jesus on the cross crucified
paid the price for sin not His own
but for those God himself will call
lovingly drawing to His salvation shown
Then three days after His crucifixion
the son of God to to life would rise
for at the tomb He was laid now gone
to live eternally certainly no disguise
Today this Christ lives by His spirit
indwelling in every believer by His power
a transformed resurrection life so true
heaven awaits those their eternal hour

One day walking along the sea shore
on the rugged lovely coast line
I saw something shiny in the midst
it looked so clear no bottle of wine
I decided to pick it up there
lying stopped still at my feet
there looked to be something inside
but nothing you could possibly eat
Inside was a piece of paper
with written a verse of holy scripture
'he that endures to end shall be saved'
Matthew 10 verse 22 is your cure
Sometimes many doubts surround us
as we walk down the life of faith
but God is always ahead of us
speaking by His word as He saith
He owns cattle on a thousand hills
and never will leave nor will forsake
so making sure to continually endure
for that bottle was mine's to take

In this passage of holy scripture
we see God pouring out His wrath
on those disobedient to His will
refusing to walk in His path
Lot's wife was one who did this
told by angels as part of family of Lot
she knew as much as the rest
but as she lingered back she was caught
In a moment judgement was cast
that human frame became as salt
standing like a pillar so straight
this was her own silly fault
She wanted the world and its desires
instead of being enclosed in God's safe hold
such is the folly of ungodly thinking
as sin enters in keeping you out cold
So remember Lot's wife turned to salt
for holding on to this world's value
which will not survive at the end
only trust in Christ will eternally do
('But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.' Genesis 19 v. 26 )(ESV)
