Why must the American people keep asking why
The FBI always seems to get a Bye
When accountability for one's actions
Should be so high
Persecution of so many a- lister's stuck in the public's eyes
Though they deserve the cost of their own demise
Because we no longer just let it lye
So once again we try to send our cries to Washington
Hoping they will not fall on deaf eyes
When people plug into the few systems on which we rely
To prevent any more of our teachers or students from having to die
That leaves so many families devastated asking why
Our Governments plan ends with nothing but a lie
Social media and reporting these troubled teens actions
Should never have been put aside
While Congress takes a free ride
Gun control so widely divided among our lawmakers
That seems to be a bunch of overpaid fakers
That is supposed to be the movers and shakers
For the American people who elect them to office
So much gun violence in our schools and streets
Have parents demanding answers while Congress retreats
From the president to the FBI should be held accountable
When public awareness is so high
American people won't tolerate any more of their attempted tries
We need them to set their agenda's aside to hear the families cries
I say this to open up with my own silence
To deal with all the headlines about the rise of school violence
We need our governments promise they will decide
These kinds of actions will no longer be allowed to backslide
Or be put on the back burner to let ride
Or accountability in our elected officials will just have to rise
In the public's eyes that will cut them down to size
To elect a government willing and wise hearing America's cries
another somber rise of day through autumn's reign
where clouded thoughts backslide through eyes
while the anguish of my pain lies misted in the lash of october's skies
i watch as the breeze strips color from these trees
crimson drops aloft on the awry path, downward in spirals
like a child's mind trying to find assuage from life's affliction
through atrocious little lines carved upon shrouded flesh
in an auspicious attempt to find relief, momentarily unrestricted
sometimes i long to be like the leaves of autumn, spun golden
twirling in the allure of whispered breezes, adrift in the winds
carefree on the jaunt of life of these memories that taunt
other times, the appetency to be the tree is greater in depth,
to be bare, weightless and absolve the heaviness of life's burdens
as you cast them downward in wayward winds to their death
while your roots remain grounded, although twisted, still stand firm
sometimes i'd like to see the beauty in october through other's eyes
to glow in the dawn of my day, not shiver in its winded breath
beneath the grays of skies, where all i can see is impending death
in the season's foreshadow as the leaves slip like blood through hands

He is wise beyond what I might have guessed
He knows the moon and calls the stars by name
He whispers sweet dreams and I know I am blessed
He helps me to know forgiveness and eases my shame
He is gentle with a kind and giving Holy Spirit power
He surrounds me with a love that is alive and forever
He accepts me with a sincere approval in every hour
He fulfills my heart with assurance that is so very clever
He is sincere with an authenticity that is alive with honesty
He delights me with all the sights and sounds of His goodness
He delivers me from the sins that nag at me so constantly
He enlightens my spirit with a caring sense of His pureness
He is strong enough to take away all my worst fears
He accepts me when I can’t even accept myself fully
He reassures me that I will have all I need through the years
He encourages me so that I won’t be hurt prematurely
He is the light that keeps me filled with sweet compassion
He fills my life with all the guidance I’ll ever think of needing
He allows me to know the joy of His beauty God has fashioned
He reminds me that I am saved because of His Son’s bleeding
He is inspiration that takes me through the best and the worst
He compels me to remember that my Jesus is truly alive
He tells me that there will never be a need for me to be coerced
He excites me with His knowledge of all that love will survive
He is love that is unconditional and gives without ever taking
He surprises me with His continual ability to mend all my hurts
He gives me all I need when I am so sure my heart is breaking
He guides me into a relationship with the One who they did pierce
He is alive and He sends His Holy Spirit to comfort and guide
He ignites a fire inside my soul that survives the worst discouragement
He heals my pain when I am fearful of the times I backslide
He loves me through the hunger and sends me tender nourishment
He is the One I love with all my heart, soul and everything in me
He whispers gentle peace into my deepest grief and sadness
He tells me that I have joy that can never be surpassed and I agree
He is the way, the truth, the life and survives the greatest madness
Of all the gin joints,
and pool halls,
on bar stools,
and in the shallows of oceans, the Siren calls.
It calls us men back.
If only men can bust that Jack!
Oh, for years you evaded all men like me,
and kept hidden in the darkest of corners.
But while drunk or flat busted you were the best friend of me,
while I groveled and trashed all that was the "bless-ed be."
If only then I busted you, Jack!
Yeah, Christ came and saved my soul and gave me a purpose for living.
But you, you damn bastard of Babylon!
You knew when to come and go; when to hide and show what's missing!
You damn demon with no name, telling lies, casting shame... and blaming.
But now I got you, Jack!
You are done, you miserable scum!
I got you by the tail and you're not welcomed back.
Squeel for me pig! I got your number, and I got your name.
You were sent from hell, and you have sent many to the rack.
But now I identified you, and I call you out, "Jack!"
With God by my side, and you in my sights,
I call you out Jack, the rat.
Brace yourself, you son of a fatherless whore... here comes a fight
I sing "Pirate over 40" no more!
I'm about to punch out your lights.
Are you ready, Freddy!? Here it comes; now it's time to say "good night!"
I simply turn... and walk away.
Goodbye, Jack... now I am living life... MY way!

Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
John 14:16 "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever" [spoken by Jesus Christ]
i am a better man just by being a scene on your presence
i do not know how you broke through my shield, but i am glad that you proved me wrong
you got a grip on my arm's length and made me come closer
putting up with me, i guess that is what it takes
i laugh at the oftentimes absurdity of my unorthodox shyness
the fact the i am appreciated by you upgrades me in a way i would have ever imagined
i still backslide a bit, but you just pull me along and say 'come on'
you showed me what i was missing and what i was completely blind to
you took my regrets in your hand and made homemade drop biscuits in ascension
now i have stories, memories, and something to look forward to
i am a better man just by being a mere observer in your essence
You hide all the money,
Without paying to me a clue,
The skies was wet with morning dew,
At little time,broken ways get me not backslide,
Broken ways,never goes on a king reign,
Hail a mind to sway,
We've moved in the perks of a glider,
All coiled,all spoiled,
Save the foreign detainee,
Twist their beard to form a roiled,
Graded range of trainee,
Greeny python flying without wings,
We seven slide the scale for bills,
Paying the bills for a vine,
Branch....,Bear up a fruit at a time,
Though the lady terrified me,
I braided all my hair to a dread like,
They feel very funny,
But they get no penny,
Paying all the cost,
Read foe it's of the Lord,
Let me shout to the rendering of my living rod,
I'm saved,
With my hands opened up,
Backup the dead risen,
Pale reasoning in the head,
When you're taken at a time,or it's painful?
A date heroes rise,
Terrible creed about Christ,
We believe and receive humans,
Today is a wondered distance,
Nothing as a glance,
I'm the man who comes for vengeance,
Traveled in accordance,
All is opened,
I'll take your teeth when you withstand,
Weight drew......!
Whenever someone is cruel toward us in either word or deed
Remind us how You first loved us and did so unconditionally
When sorrow threatens to immobilize, warn us it's just a test
May we dance and sing and in doing so lift the grief from our chest
And each time we feel wrath creeping near it will soon disappear
If immediately and secretly we do good for those we most fear
When opportunity presents itself to cause injury to a foe
Prompt us to abide in mercy instead and of revenge to let go
When itchy ear longs for gossip to hear or the tongue rumors to tell
Let us first ask , " Do I serve God above or the snake of Hell"?
Whenever we must chasten may we do so gently
Using kind words well thought out and delivered humbly
Keep our actions and talk from provoking another
And our walk far from the dens of iniquity
Help us to accept help when it is required keeping in mind
You oft times send a need through one we perceive as an enemy.
And when we are dancing on top of the mountain
Help us understand it's because of Your Guidance Lord and Grace
Not because we are better than others nor deserving
Nor does it mean we've completed the race
Many are they who've stumbled from the top to the valley below
I being one of the many...that is how I know
Once I'd reached the mountain I gradually began to backslide
A little less prayer, less Godly fellowship, and bible study
A lot more, independence, and straying further from God's side
It's a long journey back to Jesus but worth every step you see
For those who walk the straight and narrow
Their reward is a life with Jesus Christ for eternity.

Money consceous in precise.
It's a bone thrown to domesticated dog,
My whole life was set on clock,
Narrow way wasn't part of my want...
Broadway was a prioritised sort,
Fire in my heart shows Golliath size,
Nobody knew David would be in God's eyes,
In spite of leading classy trites,
Those mindset later got rot,
Smoke from coals couldn't permit me to tie a knot,
Obsessed with pride,
Led innocent men to evenly backslide,
Holy scriptures for staunch believers,
Mine was published with fellow deceivers,
The spiritual babes get enticed to scheme lullaby,
The truth,how many of them is ready to buy?
Our living is likened to the adventist of ghost Apes,
We hunt for corpse in caves,
Without thinking of ours in graves,
Home of tribulation will I enjoyed divine pain,
That's when nothing will be left to slain,
God please hold me from the prey,
For in you will I be saved.

I wanted you to know
That you did not steal the show
Unable to harness the harmony
You did not screw this up for me
In fact, it's such a huge favor
Not wasting the fruits of my labor
Knowing you were out to deceive thee
I don't know why you don't believe me
When I told you how I feel about people who lie
When it comes to seeing eye to eye
No way any of it will fly
I would advise you to step aside
Instead of trying to fix this on the backslide
That will just cause us to collide
Taking our love to a bad kinda high
Don't want to have to choose sides
Or risk that either one of us would ever lie
Looks like none of our plans are going to apply
Sometimes you have to accept the reasons why
That there is not much left to erect or intercept
Cause it looks like you swept much of it away
When you chose to be that way
Hoping all your lies
Didn't get hung up on the inside
Thinking you can justify
What I feel is nothing but a slap in the eye
Over you telling your dirty lies
Deceiving while hiding in discquise
Once you cross this line
There is no way to realign
What was once so divine all by design
Why would you choose this to be
Now I must set you free
You are not the one meant for me
You had your chance
At the most romantic dance
But now you get to stay home
And wish about it from a glance
And when you come out of your trance
This will be a broken romance
That has no last chance
