Walking through the streets of the city
People passing, cold , avoiding, unfeeling
Wino sleeping in a box, what a pity
As you walk by, your senses reeling.
Until you've been there, don't be the one
Who sits in judgement on someone's son
Until you've been there,don't look down
On that man lying on the ground.
Keep on walking, heading into the night
See another, in rags he's dressed
Shake your head. Damn, it's just not right.
Could it be he's the one who's blessed?
Until you've been there and paid your dues
And walked that mile inside his shoes
Until you've been there and felt his pain
Judge not the man, be not so vain
Reach out for him, if you dare
Learn to feel. Learn to care.
Sometimes your heart will make you cry.
Until you've been there, you'll not know why.
We're Witnessing a Travesty
By Franklin Price

We're witnessing a travesty
In congress on this day
They've done it many times before
Must always have their say
A hearing on the server
That was used by Hillary
The FBI resolved it
Congress will not let it be
Congress is wasting money
It's not budgeted to spend
It's a judiciary decision
To resolve it in the end
Congress hasn't done their job
For many many years
They're not the judge and jury
The Constitution makes that clear
All the witnesses plead the fifth
Was the greatest thing to see
The hearing's going nowhere
Which is where it ought to be
Whether or not corruption
Brought the hearing to the floor
Next time take it to the courts
And not to Congress any more
Expressing praises for the Almighty
David declared Creator’s sovereignty.
Exposing gratefulness to God above
he earnestly proclaimed the Saviour’s love.
Extolling greatness of the Providence
he hailed the Lord for His omnipotence.
Exalting the sole Source of perfect peace
he thanked divine goodness that does not cease.
Expectant always of Redeemer’s grace
he sought with faith for compassion's embrace.
Exclaiming about their sweet partnership
he propelled us toward sublime worship.
Exultant midst jubilant victory
he testified of heavenly glory.
Exemplifying frail human nature
he confessed need for God’s constant nurture.
Exasperated against sin-caused strain
he claimed for Holy Spirit to heal pain.
Examining self before Judge so right
he prayed for cleansing with pardon delight.
Exceedingly glad for eternal gift
he did share wondrous hope of soul-uplift.
Experiencing bliss of spiritual quest
he inspired us to seek the Shepherd* with zest.
*Psalm 23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Ode in couplet form

3rd place, "Beloved Poets" Poetry Writing Premiere Contest
Sponsored by Regina McIntosh; judged on 1/19/2023.
She cast her silken shadow in the moonlight
To trace her cursive odes on tiptoes, tender
Upon the cooling beach sand, 'side the ocean
Oh countless nights she danced here by the ocean
And dreamed of her brave captain in the moonlight
The love that they had made here, oft' and tender
But she was gray now, not that lass, once tender
Her captain, gone for years, claimed by the ocean
Now soft, she danced into the deep by moonlight ...
While moonlight danced, so tender ... on the ocean.

Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.” The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them. He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
Psalms 2:1?-?6 NIV
How much truth in this
It's like seeing it live still today
Forgive, for they know not what they do.
Stumbling around in own path
Into a foreign land of pride and power.
For they know not the chains and shackles
That holds them captive in death.
For in creating problems upon people
So they might find one to believe the deception
In creating more division,hate, anxiety and fear.
I pray these leaders find the chains and shackles
That has them held captive
To confess the true One to remove them.
But ,mostly for all to receive the love from God.
The true King came as a servant
Humble, loving, gentle and a safe haven into rest.
To give access to remove the chain and shackles: )
In this moment to rise up from death.
Receiving the precious and pure free gift of life.
Your eyes will see the king in his beauty and view a land that stretches afar. For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us.
Isaiah 33:17?, ?22 NIV
Form:
Fifty years was longer than the life left to be spun
But a life sentence was rendered when the evil deed was done
Not his, but the other one, the deed that left his girl
In a darkened, horrified, messed up, frightened kind of world.
They didn’t have evidence that the judge would let in court
But the story, which he knew in full, left with him no doubt
The rapist stood beside his suits twisting round the truth
Making it sound as if his girl was a wild woman on the loose.
He couldn’t leave it up to the law who failed two times before
Two other victims with similar stories that both of them swore
While he smiled and licked his lips mocking the justice system
This father would make sure his daughter was the last victim.
Just as the judge was saying, “Let him go, they have no proof”
The man with saddened eyes pointed the gun at this creep
Before the guards could respond to the shots, five bullets in him did seep.
The father laid down his gun and placed his hands upon his head
Pleased to spend his life in prison knowing this monster at last was dead.
The father was sent to a prison cell
The daughter’s mental health, they could not tell
The rapist was burning down in hell
And Lady Liberty could only yell
A silent yell – and then repeat the tale
Sometimes, the system fails.
It is all about the praise of His Holy, Holy, Holy Name
As also reflected in my ways in knowing that He came
Even in my deepest heaviest tear on my roughest day
It is His Name you will hear reflected in all that I say
My worries are so few in having a reward so great
But just in staying true this does not seal this fate
For there is nothing I can do no act that is so grand
Oh how this is so true yet so many don't understand
For it's all about the praise in giving God His Glory
Telling others of His Ways so that they know His story
About simple humility as we look upon that Cross
About being able to see the whole meaning of His loss
Goodness is fine but it's all about your own intentions
And in line after line the Lord Himself repeatedly mentions
That the Father's Will be done was Jesus most repeated phrase
It's all about His only Son, so not about our silly little ways
1 Chronicles 16:25
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised:
he also is to be feared above all gods.
A man robs a Wawa. He tells the judge, a few days ago I held a door for a
lady leaving that store and gave a bum a buck. The judge say's so what you
broke the law, 10 years. Then the crook says my brother is the Governor and
the Judge dismisses all charges. Sort of not what you do, but who you know.
Hopefully you will be able to tell the Father that you know Jesus. Hopefully!
When my body is sculpted to perfection,
When my beauty gleams without a flaw,
You may whisper that I’m artificial—
But I am not. I am the raw,
Unyielding truth of perseverance,
The echo of battles I’ve won alone.
You question me with narrowed eyes,
Raise suspicions like storm clouds overhead.
You never saw the fire beneath my skin,
The silent strength in every thread
Of muscle forged through pain and grit—
You never asked what made me whole.
You judged my books, my songs, my soul,
With a heart colder than winter’s breath.
But I will rise through ash and ember,
Shine brighter than the stars of death.
I am not your fleeting fancy—
I am the storm, the calm, the flame.
And when I stand in triumph’s light,
Know this: I remember every slight.
I remember how you turned away
When I was broken, night and day.
So if you don’t love me now,
You don’t deserve me then.
I am worth the struggle,
The climb, the scars, the bend.
And when I soar, untouched by doubt,
It’s not my loss—it’s yours,
Without a doubt.
Man was made in the image of God
to worship Him, and His will applaud.
But sin has created a rift
causing man’s affection to shift.
Sin has made mankind a rebel
and caused pride in his heart to swell.
Some men say God does not exist
while to heaven they raise a fist.
Man seeks to make God in his image
as he tries with God to scrimmage.
In his mind, he becomes a god
and makes gods that like him, are flawed.
God in man’s image does not judge
he allows him to steal, cheat, and fudge.
There are no laws for man to obey,
issues are not black or white, just grey.
The god, man makes, is beneath him,
hence, he is subject to man’s whim.
When man thinks God is not in charge
his ego is wont to enlarge.
But when Man finds himself in a jam
and trouble like water break the dam,
when his world begins to quake and shake
Man discovers his god is a fake.
The gods created in man’s mind
are like the carved wood and stone kind.
They are useless and helpless to him
when his future looks dark and grim.
The needs that out of man’s heart spill
only Creator God can fulfill.
Man’s soul is restless within him
until he finds his rest in Him.
The faster man stops playing God
and delights His will to applaud,
the sooner he stops believing lies,
God’s Spirit will open his eyes.
GOOD FRIENDS,ONE FAMILY
Obviously we can judge without Magistrates
As life has being turning around.
In the ups and downs,
And in the midst of failures and success,
We've met a lot of people.
Some became our friends,
Some became our enemies,
And still some became our frenemies.
But we don't know the price,
We got to pay for the good friends,
who've become a family.
In the course of hard times,
And in the course of good times,
They keep us accompanied,
Without dividing their love in percentages.
Their words and actions mend our broken hearts,
So much that, we've held them with golden trusts.
And forthy as now of such strong love,
Our hearts testifies of the best gems we all have.
Which defines us as good friends,one family.
