Nothing is promised
everything is bound for change
nothing stays the same
love is a gamble and most of us
stay plugged into this game
the house always wins yet we think
we can beat those odds
It's quite irrational to be optimistic
to think things aren't what they appear to be
and with time, the scales will tip in your favor
Silly me
But I just watch, I play the spectator
I know how the movie ends
but still I think I can change
and control the narrative
It's imperative that we listen to reason
listen to our intuition
trust me when I say that its vision is limitless
Yeah it's important to be the change you wanna see
but even more importantly to understand
and see when things and people just are who they are
this isn't judgement on them
they are who they are
It's you who want them to be something else
accept the cards you were dealt
regardless if you didn't examine the entire board
you decided to go all in at your liberty
now live with your decision
or I guess...plan for that contingency
I Will Listen
I am not going to be polite
I, rather we, don’t have time for that
We have been fighting each other
Like fools who do not know better
You are either stupid children
Throwing yourself down having a tantrum
Or you are a stupid adult
Measuring your ***** against the next guy’s
Either way you are an embarrassment
And no one really cares what you think
So just do us all a favor and shut the hell up
After all we are all humans
We are all shades of brown
And we all bleed red
So, put your anger and hatred away
Sit down and think, if you can
And then come and talk to me
I promise I will listen
As the sun disappears below the horizon
Making the sky murky and dark
Hues from the atmospheric particles act
Like a prism and retract the light
The clouds slowly embark on their journey
To blanket the softness of the night
Fireflies light up the elements
The wind is in favor it takes up residence
As the stars ascend into view
Yielding off a luminous hue
With a everlasting perpetual
Brilliantly intellectual
Pristine in its design
Immaculately defined
How do you interpret
A sunset
How do I get my pen to illustrate my
thoughts
Behind this impeccable view
Can this paper perceive the beauty in it to

*"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." Proverbs 3:5-6 of King James Bible
Claiming God’s favor everyday
My soul does seek heavenly ray…
Divine flame functionally shines
And faith beholds miracle signs.
Scheduled plans, though prayed for truly
Sometimes can change so suddenly
Causing angst, confronting my role…
Yet flame of peace comforts the soul.
As internet glitches cause frown
Bringing stress from toes toward crown…
My frustration angsts escalate
Then child laugh-flame makes woes deflate.
Health conscious --- that’s me, I confess
Treating self with gracious duress…
When I get sick, body does rest
Needing strength flames toward work zest.
When busy midst tasks to fulfill
Adrenalin ascends uphill…
Phone rings for a chat delightful
Marked by “The Lord is so faithful.”
With interference-radiance
By the Holy Ghost’s sweet guidance…
I’m preserved, so well-protected
Thankful, sublimely elated.
Listening to the Scriptures preached
My spirit is ardently reached
Since the Lord talks to me, His child
Leading through love, graciously styled
Flame of hope for tenacious stand
Keeps me warm daily in God’s hand
Showing goodness of Almighty
I trust* upon truth’s certainty.

It’s November and it’s that time of the year for Open Enrollment for health care coverage. Yeah, this happens in November, but the good news is, God has Open Enrollment year round. Open enrollment means just that, open.
Definition of open is, “allowing access, not closed or blocked.” And that is what God is going to do. When you enroll under God’s coverage, He is going to allow you access to receive many blessings. He’s going to begin to open up some things in your life.
With God’s open enrollment you don’t have to fill out no application, speak to a representative, apply online, list yearly household income, nor do you have to wonder or worry if you are going to be approved. You don’t have to renew every year and you don’t have to make monthly payments.
Ask yourself, do you really need medical coverage, or do you just need to Believe?
Did you not know that God is your Provider and Jesus is a Healer? Oh yes He is.
But also ask yourself, are you ready to enroll in a lifetime of coverage? Oh you are?
Well just know, when you enroll with God be ready for abundance, favor and overflow. Be ready for God to open up doors that no man can shut. Be open to receiving God’s peace, love, forgiveness, mercy, grace, strength, healing, protection and so much more.
God is going to open up some passage ways, open up your ears to be able to hear and know His voice, open up your mind with clarity, open up and heal your hurting heart.
Well, now is the time for you to enroll. You can enroll by simply accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior.
God is saying to you, “Come as you are my dear child.” I am here. I am ready. “I AM WHO I AM.”
As for me, I am grateful and thankful Father that I am covered and enrolled under Your lifetime coverage.
So yeah, it’s Open Enrollment, are you enrolled?
Of the people I know
And the people I see
All want to be happy
All want to be free
Of organizations, clubs, and groups
Forcing their opinions
Through political loops
To the masses their way is right
Preaching their peace through a superior fight
Religion, race, color, and creed
All to fill an empty need
Right wing, left wing, republican or radical
Reformist, anarchist or arsonist
Socialist, communist and lobbyist
Or………………………… Liar !
No matter what group you belong
You’ve given your soul for hire
Your part of a click
Playing a game
Learning the trick
To belong………you have to get along
Strength in numbers, masses with the same idea
All with the agenda of wanting to be free
One common goal
To put the other click in the hole
Do yourself a favor
Be your own click
Have your own thoughts and ideas
To yourself be true
It’s yourself that you please
Things are never what they seem
But to be part of a group with common goals
Is the ideal dream
Just never lose yourself in the idea
Let it work for you, not the other way around
Eric (and sometimes not)
Claiming God’s favor everyday
My soul does seek heavenly light
Guidance while I fervently pray
Persisting to do what is right.
With approval of divine ray
My faith soars toward venture flight
Vanquishing temptation’s prey
Triumphant upon humbling plight.
Sometimes I am in disarray
Caused by sin along guilt-filled blight
My heart that falters with dismay
Seeks the Saviour for helping might.
When trials show that I’m just clay
My human nature can’t hide fright
I cling to Christ Who is the way
Safeguarding me well day and night.
Choosing that in God’s plan, I stay
My fervent vows declare and cite
Trust* in the Almighty today
And forever with blest delight.
Optimizing chances with grace
I serve the Lord upon truth’s brace.
*Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

My God does not sit just upon a thrown;
He lingers in the slums and the trenches of groans,
But He does not require arduous tasks to atone.
He gave us Grace through death on the cross--
The hope that through Christ none have to be lost,
And we are sin-free for the asking.
Look to His favor with good cheer!
You don’t have to confess for the length of a year;
He knows every agony and joy you hold so dear,
For He lingers in the hearts of every man,
Waiting for each to take His hand,
And all sins will be forgiven.
You don’t need evangelist on phone or TV;
Just talk to Him like you talk with me,
And let Him give you comfort from your misery.
For He’s more than a star in fairy tales;
He helps believers through life’s travails
To see the beauty in this world.
Look around at the world in its broken glory--
You’ll find there are some amazing stories
If you take the time to carefully inventory
Those who have put their struggles in His hands,
For each of them knows and understands
His love and mercy are always with us.

Greetings, have your eyes wide open.
Take in every sound and sight.
Place a bet, push forth your chips,
Let the game commence.
The game is going in your favor,
Have a drink or two.
Widen your grin,
The fun is only going to get better.
You've won!
Next game, new bet, a fresh challenger
Who is also a guest?
Both of you are likely to win,
The Beast Hotel only has happy customers.
Again and again, place forth your chips.
The bets are made,
As the game commences,
Over and over money is lost and won.
Gamble as another game lures you in.
Another chance to gain more riches.
More and more you can gain,
Challenge other guests to line your pockets.
You may bet them anything they have,
even their personhood.
The higher the bet, a greater reward.
New bets, new rewards
This is a profitable risk.
A taste of sun upon my tongue
a lick of stars inside my maw
a fresh cool drink from rivers pure
mayhap her face, today ?
Before you walk away listen to my plea
I squat to feast and famine everyday
waiting for her Rembrandt smile, sweet perfume ;
A taste of mercy on my spleen, pigeon crumb for a bum
I sit and wait ravenous for peace and bread of life,
oh how I wish those stars could wife;
Anchored in home spun words of beauty and grace
she arrives with two wings offering hope and Faith;
Those two faced coins tossed in my favor
become like spun sugar in the rain, suddenly
gone and out of flavor;
I'm a wolfish man a piping nightingale
hungry for the big feast of heaven
A taste of sun upon my tongue, lick of stars
truth and light,...
I'm an Agnus Dei soft as lamb, a street man
with an angel, by his side.
