Never fear when your truth is blamed
Fear when your wrong is justified
No matter how deep the truth will submerged
Truth will find a way to show up to the surface
Don't do it to others what not to do to yourself
Don't be proud to be good at turning the story upside down
Because one day your fakeness will be revealed
Don't say a word for revenge
Hopefully help your heart to cover with feeling
Guilt and restless every time you do not do good.
The naked truth, will proffer no ruth..Its light is fit to
Blind you
Should you delve? where, most never do; or dare? its blast
Will outline you.'
So of what I do, either ask me true? And i will not not
Deny you.'
I'll chew the fat, if you're up for that? And lets place mans
Fears behind us.!
The tortured Poet
Expresses only that which they truly believe
No matter how hard
That truth is to accept
Or to tell
As the truth is hard
Sometimes may even be taken
And misinterpreted as a lack of care
Whereas a poet who paints pictures
Unto others about hope and the joy of life
Personally to me are choosing to be rather a
Non believer
Of reality as it exists
And if that makes or helps them in anyway
I for 1 am sincerely happy for them
The only problem I have
Is that leading other people in into believing
That everything in the end will be okay
Will only be a temporary release
But 1 day in the future
They will find out to their own cost
Much like a credit card
There is interest to pay on top
All you have done is put off
Paying for something which is going
To cost you more and will only end up
Regretting why you didn't just
Get it out of the way and done with them
And leave you hoping and thinking
You have learned your lesson
So you don't make the same mistake again
What do you say to the heart
how do you start
voicing the song of I love yous
How do you start
Just embracing with no arms
Just speaking with no words
Just not seeing the heart
How do you search for those the things
Matter most, matters of the heart
Just speak up
Speak out
and say in truth and faith
I LOVE YOU
Here I am nearly reached three score and ten
life has passed on through my years
it's been eventful that's certain for sure
but have survived it with no tears
Nerves have ruled most of my life
been a battle but won some of them
strangers approaching makes you frizz
but learn to adapt so feel a gem
So often felt not the real thing
not quite the normal guy such a tongue
words were never my strong point
struggle was my word even when I was young
But you adapt finding strength to win
despite the struggles, you get there somehow
been always in a job for worked 44 years
now enjoy retirement fully free now
Standing where I am in truth
pleased to have reached this place
looking back seeing God's hand on me
feel privileged to achieve this at base
( A look back on life from today's standpoint)
Treasure the measure of the powerful tongue
Tried or twisted, perhaps true.
Measure the treasure of the powerful truth
Mashed on us by our youth.
Pressure each measure molded in time
Measure the pressure twisted through rhyme,
Rhyme each measure
That adds treasure to the truth
Pressure each treasure that the tongue tried true.
Measure the treasure of the truth.
Starting in Truth
Should be the teacher's motive..
It is an acquaintance
By the Teacher of her
Own Identity..
Starting elsewhere..in a textbook
In a settled belief..only serves
To diminish the teacher and to
Guarantee a quick departure of
The thing that is intended
To be taught..a Recognition that
Textbooks and beliefs are
Unsteady tools of Truth which
May be discarded in
A more favorable Wind...
P-raise God in truth,
A-nd worship Him in spirit;
S-imply glorify the Lord,
A-s we all obey or submit.
L-oyal or faithful, grown-up
A-dults thank Him, so do the youth;
M-embers of the true Church
A-lways praise God in
T-ruth.

"Kevin"
Drug buy,
for one it went good.
Drug buy,
for one it went bad.
You see Kevin,
wore high heeled sneakers.
You see Kevin,
was his junkies' keeper.
But one day;
the junkie didn't have it,
so Kevin didn't give it,
but the junkie had to have it,
but Kevin didn't get it.
So when his beeper beeped beeped,
the Junkie popped popped.
And when his beeper beeped beeped.
his heart beat beat,
"Stopped."

“In Truth, He Lies”
(Kevin’s Funeral)
Preacher screams,
"He's goin’ to heaven",,
Kendra cries,
"Wake up Kevin",,
Momma sighs,
"Baby, don't cry",,
Grandma weeps,
"Kevin's asleep",,
Grandpa states,
"Resting his eyes",,
But when Momma screams,
"wake up Kevin",,
Grandpa weeps,
and then we all cry,
But to me,
It don't matter none.
Whether Kevin's in Hell,
for what he's done.
But the truth is,
Kevin lies.
In that casket,
before my eyes,
And the coffin keeps,
such still remains.
But will the coffin keep,
what still remains?

Growing In Truth
By Charles Gerald Patrick Chard 2nd
Gavri Hanita Hazaka Abir Selek 2nd
If no love and no faith, then no faith, no results,
Wiithout faith in GOD then it's GOD we insult,
For we must first believe that GOD is,
For faith in HIS Word given to us is HIS,
Faith. Love, forgiveness, and healing, is a spiritual force,
We as believer walk in these daily ofcourse,
When you believe in the LORD with your whole heart,
Then forgiveness with Love within become a great part,
For Love in forgiveness covers a multitude of sin's,
Walking in GOD's Love each day you will win,
The heart of any believer must be fixed and established,
For GOD's great Love on us does HE lavish,
We love other's because Jesus said too,
Those things the Word states we will do,
The Joy of the LORD is my daily strength,
HIS Love is so vast beyond all hiegth, width, deapth, or Length,
This kind of Love in me deeply dwells,
I will witness this Love to others and telll.
