Daniel followed God wholeheartedly
He is a foreigner in Babylon
Many are jealous about his stand
For the king believe and admire him
He became the Governor of Babylon
For he is young, handsome and intelligent
The enemy made a foolish trapped on him
By a pagan religious law that succumb him
For Daniel is a Jew who believe the God of Israel
Later, the King's decree was subtle and final
Daniel was thrown to the den of lions
To all surprise, Daniel was justified by God
Nothing happen to him, nothing at all
To King's decree was given the one who trapped him
Are the one who have been thrown into the den
Death was given to evil men, Daniel was justified.
In the end, God is the justice of all.
Rayland Givens is getting old.
He's still quick on the draw,
but now he's more internally aware,
more thoughtful as he shoots
his Glock 19 into hearts and guts.
He's grown, matured,
i hate that,
in his youth he used to quip
humorous asides as he shot the bad guys.
He had anger, I mean real anger,
and that made him interesting.
Now he's older
and looks like he wants to go fishing
or write a poem or two.
I am almost overwhelmed
with sadness.
I still like his hat.
If you knew that the only thing
giving me purpose is my poetry
The only thing keeping me going
Is writing about you consistently...
You'd probably laugh because
you were more than happy
and more than justified
to leave me behind
You simply did
what you had to do
You followed your truth
You washed away the glue
that stuck me to you...
While I'm still hoping I stay stuck
Because one part of me
believes I deserve it and
the other part is just too
stubborn to untie the noose
He glorified
Cared for them
Raised them
Chosen by God
Jesus does nod
Make sure they grew
Knowing the Lord they knew
Through their spiritual bath
He would guide their path
Always receiving
Our Father feelings
Provided with peace
Best way to relieve
Gave them the gift
On which they wished
Revived unity
Released their creativity
Through the Holy Spirit
We have achieved it
A way to say hi
To reach beyond the sky
Who shall believe her
A true believer
His children are never denied
Only God knows why
If upcame downwhere would around be found inside or out

Burn the crosses
Ghosts walk in broad daylight
Gas the masses
A circus unfolding in the streets
Holes in the innocent
Hidden by the establishment
Cuts and bruises
Abused by the protector
You die for their sins
So they become the victim
Liberty is not given
But death is buy one get one free
And every silent onlooker
Is hiding a hood in their closet
When you speak you're lynched
So they can call it justified
Justified
Unpredictable
New
Experience
Jerky
Underrated
Lazy
Yellowtails
Amazing
Unique
Great
Unbridled
Sanguine
Turning
There is a Guantanamo Bay like facility,
that has a bed with my name on it guaranteed,
along with 1 million natural born americans in and outside my country.
We are all on the government watch list and we are all indeed guilty,
of exercising our inalienable right to freedom of speech.
Somewhere along the way that became terrorist activity,
at least that's what The Patriot Act has led everyone to believe.
If the rest of my life is to be spent in such an environment
where enhanced interrogation is practiced like some sort of religion,
and where I'd be subject to any kind of horrid experimentation,
you better believe that I will kill myself at the first opportune moment.
Sometimes suicide is the only option,
and in such a scenario like the above warrants justification.
I wish I was a clown so I could wear big shoes and act like a freak
and gain applause from those who don’t care if my face is cracking
as long as I have a heavy supply of candy to throw into the air
I wish I was a politician so I could tell big lies and act like a freak
and gain applause from those who don’t care if my face is cracking
as long as I have a heavy supply of money throw into the air
I wish I was a pop star, a movie star, an artist at his peak
Anything at all to be a justified freak
Justified* am I by the Saviour Jesus Christ’s sacrifice
Sanctified through the Holy Spirit’s seal of heavenly price
Magnified for glorified service by God’s love and grace that suffice.
*Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Holy is the one,
Who gives us all His love
Ahh! Jesus, Jesus Christ
Never ending love
Granted from above
The one whom gave up His life
He became sin for us
Our Lord Jesus Christ
Righteousness are we
When we repent and receive

Alas tis a lovely verse
A tad scenic but photogenic
Brilliant rhymes
Beautifully justified

a stone's thrown to a hill may be big or small
no casualty can be there after hitting
a lion attacks a deer flays with his claws
helpless deer nothing can be done
a stronger bad ruins a weaker good
he's nothing to do except screaming
a stronger good one harms a weaker bad
he's nothing to do except surrendering
before huge hate slight love's no meaning
before huge love slight hate's no meaning too
is it not that right of stronger's justified
I was the unjust made by the just
While I was unjust, the just became
Unjust and died for the unjust me
To become just not unjust again
He became unjust for my unjust-ness
So that I can be just and not unjust
Now I am just because he made me just
Through his just life he made to be unjust
So that the unjust me can become just
The just became unjust for me to be justified.

JUSTIFIED
blind your eyes to
what you feel
cut hurt pride and
watch it bleed
hearing words that
mesmerize
reading phrases
justified
testifried
terrorlies
echo empty
leaping sinking
back into
themselves
blankfaced in numbedspace
fussless effaced place
crystalglass sight
focusedtight on
silverwhite
hateful trivial
repetitions
blind your eyes to
what you feel
cut hurt pride and
watch it bleed
hearing words that
mesmerize
reading phrases
justified
