Long has it been a stir that’s forbidden,
no matter how bad you want to find love.
A heart’s fondest desire to feel smitten,
like your courtship has fallen from above.
The taste of a bud cannot be hidden,
you succumb to the soft ivory dove.
When you are casting rose-ritual highs,
it is poor form to influence replies.
Fairy lights twinkle among mushrooms gold
Brownies and elves come out to give us a look.
Trixie and I are now on the hook.
Please put our imaginations on hold.
We’re Greatly Influenced By Our Society
We’re greatly influenced by our society.
Our culture comes in many types of “varieties.”
Often, there is a wicked and sinful force..
As people forget God, and look to another “source.”
Too often, many in society have “confused” minds.
Evil and perversion come in many different kinds
We often read in the news just about every day.
Something that another “confused”
mind has to say.
“Where did this person go wrong?” Is wondered.
Another family or person is “torn and plundered.”
“If my people humble themselves,
and repent of their ways.”
“I will heal their land!” This is what God says!
Without God as the focus
of our life’s attention.
We’re sure to go “off course.”
Into the wrong direction.
“There is a way that seems right.” “But the end is death.”
This is a truth of God’s word…
Until your last breath!
Jesus is the answer to any kind of difficult situation.
We desperately need him all across our nation!
Only he brings the love and fulfillment
we need to obtain.
We can find everything we need
in HIS precious name!

hey,allen ginsbergh
when you write you rock the world
spellbound and spilling
Hiding within one's self
That's what this all is
Pretending all's well
Pretending perfection
Hiding all truths.
What's behind your mask?
Or have you fooled yourself too?
Take the mask off, reveal your eyes.
Or are you too lost in all your lies?
You say nothing that's right.
BUt in your bed at night,
You mind's screams echo
Don't you see me?!
And how you've betrayed me?!
You think to yourself, you've got everybody fooled.
Look around!
Look around and think about it!
That's not true.
YOU are now Everybody's Fool.
