Long Backbite Poems

I ask for answers to my problem around midday, carpenters nailing tables beyond their voices. Thinkers building fence of gold, wiping the devil under the shadow of death. Callers piecing information together to make me...

Mary was simply horrid, as a wee girl

Not for the contest

No more do I despair 
writing for contests with an off the wall theme
Those that want me to create a nightmare
from what was once a beautiful dream.

No more do I care
about Marvel...

I'm tired of those days
I'm tired of the games
Can't stand when you call
When you don't even know my name
 
Tired of trying to let things flow
When everytime I'm looking you're heading out the door
Days go...

With my fellow Christians
In the public may pay some titles and offerings (you see the envelope)
But in private;

He said He did not like seeing the sisters at odds.
He was tired of the cussing, fussing and fighting,
He was tired of the gossip, strife and backbiting.

We say...

Who shall stand up in Your holy place?  (Chorus)

You Suppose To Be My Friend

For you I let the door to the deepest dungeon of my soul open
Yet you went around chanting my faults like a retard anchorperson
Raising your rank by selling me cheap

To restrain your anger is quite a challenging chore
When you're being mistreated in a way you abhor
If someone confronts you with a rude attitude
Chill. Stay cool. It's better than starting a feud

When a big mouth...

I am different and so are you, and that’s God’s handy work.
He is a God of variety, and creative too, if we was the same
Life would be boring, sad, and blue.

I had an instant with...

What impresses you to write those stanzas you write?
Emotional fires are supposed to ignite so bright a poet’s appetite!
All words and superficial emotions
Meaningless verbs causing devious commotion!
What guides your fingers across those keys?
Obviously from your...

The sky was filled with starlight, 
clear as transparent glass.
Yet everyone seemed uptight -
the judges who ruled en masse,
earthly stars who shone over-bright.

A winner would be chosen tonight -
one whose talent could not pass,
one whose...

A Proven Fact

Politicians will lie,
to hold on to their power.
But in election years,
they’ve learned how to cower.

and flash you a smile.

They pass out...

The ones you danced with in the rain
most of them, kinda appreciate your pain

You are loved with pure hate
we get hurt, but we still...

People of God
Let us be responsible
With what we speak
It's easy to accuse a person
Something you can't prove

If anything you can't prove
Not even your enemies
And don't talk against 
Someone on their backs
Don't backbite...

Speak like a man and don’t be afraid!
Don’t be feared by the power
bestowed on his creed.

For once, stand up and at least
do what is right!
Otherwise choose to talk 
and do the backbite.

Speak like a man...
