Overly Particular Contest Judges
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 Am Tired
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...

When I Am Alone Do I Follow God Alone--
WHEN I AM ALONE DO I FOLLOW GOD ALONE--
In the public I may worship
With my fellow Christians
In the public may pay some titles and offerings (you see the envelope)
But in private;
What do I get;
How is...

God Against the Odds
While kneeling and praying and talking to God;
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.

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...

Get To Know Me First
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...

A Poet Without a Soul
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...

Misnomer
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...

Politicians will lie,
to hold on to their power.
But in election years,
they’ve learned how to cower.
They couldn’t care less,
about the rank and file.
Though they’ll face a camera,
and flash you a smile.
They pass out...

Be Responsible With Your Words
People of God
Let us be responsible
With what we speak
It's easy to accuse a person
Something you can't prove
That's irresponsibility
Don't accuse anyone
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
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...
