Premium Member Hungering and Thirsting After the Real Thing

What and who is this almighty God?
He has no beginning and is everlasting
consider what His word says of His person
His son Jesus reveals Him in everything

God is real with a powerful effect
for He speaks in His authoritative word
this word can cut us to the quick
so thorough that our souls are stirred

The Lord God Himself makes us hunger
giving us such desire upon Him alone
for only God can really truly satisfy 
as in Jesus whose sacrifice did atone

Without receiving the real spiritual drink
we faint with thirst for that cup
Jesus alone fills our parched soul
then we know His way takes us up

Are you in contact with the real thing?
is it just religion or is Jesus real?
look deep for evidence of a genuine touch
be sure you've found the divine seal

(Quotation:  “We can know if we have encountered the real God if we are deeply hungry and thirsty for him. The sense of his absence, the dissatisfaction with his absence, is evidence that he has touched you.”
- quotation by Tim Keller (1950-now) Pastor and Minister.)

Premium Member The Dissatisfaction of This World - 1 John 2: 15

John the apostle spoke such wisdom
when warning and exhorting us all
to love not the world
for it makes you spiritually stall

The world is one large idol
filled with little idols so tempting
which none of it will satisfy
leaving you feeling its sting

Only God himself can satisfy
loving Christ and Him alone
giving yourself fully to His Lordship
obeying the one who's your chief cornerstone

Remember this world is passing away
one day it will be no more
if you love this worldly place
only divine wrath will be in store

So take heed of the Apostle's word
be sure to have only a single love
not for this world and all within
but to God and His home above

She Breaks

Neon billboards scream a symphony of 
images
in attempts to sell
happiness
by bleeding dissatisfaction into her mind.

Glossy, crisp pages remind her that she isn't 
good enough
to be accepted by a 
society
that values celebrity over individuality. 

Reflections in the mirror only
reinforce
her perceived
inadequacies
as mascara stains her fair cheeks. 

The gears of discontentment crush
us all
and in our attempts to
rebuild ourselves
we realize just how broken we are. 

But there exists a deeper truth:

Within our eternal
soul 
is a beauty that no amount of make up can hide.

Division in the Political World

Politics hypnotizing us
Despising between left and right
It’s dividing us

The stakes are high
News stations frightening the nation with lies
Don’t even know who to trust
This environment is wild and vile

No explanations, can’t even lie with smooth slyness or style
This nation has its own president under hot trial
Five thousand mentions on the Epstein files

Still bombing other countries
We hardly even know
It’s not about politics no more
We’ll be fighting with stones and sticks
The day the United States regains its self control

Even in the parties themselves there’s no immunity
The discontinuity literally as soon as we see
Power under the pressure
Like a pirate guards their treasure
Where’s unity amongst Cornyn and Paxton?
The constant tug of war between dozen of PAC sums

Even for me,
Even some dems, my own allies agree
That I can’t use a bathroom in peace
Without accusations of indecency

And when I go to church, my own religion
It’s like all eyes on me for my considered decisions
I don’t understand the despise on me
To all the haters and indecent sayers
I’ve heard you all before now let me be

Investing billions in elections and zero in love
Love’s no longer on the ballot
It changed to being tough

And I don’t know about you all
But I’m tired of being tough
People saying empty threats and empty bluffs
We respond by acting strong and acting buff
Every slur they call me is a cuff
When does it stop, when is it enough?

Our founding fathers tolerated so we could stand together
Now the consequence if whether
Red or blue wins,
If your opponent wins never,
Unity looks severed forever
Besides voting in November,
How can individuals do better?

I wrote my school board member a letter
Asking to her represent me better
She never wrote me back
Must’ve been return to sender
Or I betcha it never made its way on her desk
Probably was thrown out with the rest
Cause its contents would have her discontent

This poem isn’t even a call to action
It’s more like just telling you I pray to God
That we cut the abstract factions
And see each other equal under law
Our dissatisfaction has already become our own saw
Because we scratched it in half, and with our own claws

Pennies Into Gold

Be weary of such worldly gain as to receive your reward here
To live your whole life in vain in never being able to see clear
The money itself is not the evil but in turn what it does to you
In never being able to get your fill since none of it is at all true

If anything it will be a distraction and one more reason to worry
The root of all your dissatisfaction in making you quick to bury
It will completely tie you down and will bound and gag you too
Bowing down before your crown it's now telling you what to do

Surely money is necessary and many have harnessed it for good
It's not going to set you free and that's what must be understood
For the part you give away and for everything you are able to do
That is that part that will stay as is the picture that Our Lord drew

Even in the giving of it that money it comes back many times fold
For I must tell and so admit the Lord turns those pennies into gold
Yet take not my word but begin yourself in doing something new
And soon shall you concur giving you so much more than was due

Fear

So consumed by the feeling
Nothing about this is healing
Mind so full of unknowns
The rest of your being groans
Thumping head pain from every direction
Thoughts go in the wrong trajection
Spinning with the worst case scenarios 
Hearing nothing from the stereos 
The only thing heard is the voice inside
Horrible thoughts must subside
Every eventuality portrayed 
Only the mind that betrayed
No clear thought or positivity 
Just reminders of probability 
So much could go upside down
Stress and anxiety forcing me to drown
The weight of the world on the shoulders
Straight ahead are massive boulders 
No way to skirt around
Only one way is mountain bound
Legs dragging with every step
Trying to focus not to misstep 
Fear controlling every action 
Every option is dissatisfaction 
Fear is the one in control
Fear has stolen my soul
