Long Milquetoast Poems

In the manse market for a preowned spa house

Mine feeble efforts pale in comparison
to a kid scaling El Capitan
of Yosemite National Park,
nevertheless me, a dry witted husband
self emasculated milquetoast
of late ofttimes yawps imprecations
against fickle finger...

They descend into the hearts of men
like a troop
Don’t let ‘em in,
don’t let ‘em in

Phony preacher man,
your doctrines are soft ...
of no eternal value
You peddle the pagan fluff,
sniffing the prosperity snuff,
gambling souls away with your holy bluff
False preacher man,

Delay by Him has taken its toll,
Waves of doubt rollover the soul,
Despair extinguished the Spirit,

His paranoia would send him into a rage
Everyone was against him took advantage,
So he thought, while inflating his self-worth
A vain man of...

The impression i'm getting, is we are forgetting
That we are a people with voices made for vetting
An appearance of truth is flashed to our brains
The suggestion to youth is just plain insane
Being force fed lies,...
