I do the wrong, and they the right
They love nothing more than to criticize me
They preach repentance yet they need deliverance
They are the armored assassins of...

God came down and became a man
He wanted to fully understand
Since the consequence for sin has always been death
Jesus had to Indore our punishment up until his very last breath
He became the ultimate sacrifice
So all...

Sitting on the beach, watching the waves gently lap the shore,
Thinking about life and all the good and the bad things I’ve done before.

The Bad, The Ugly and The Good  (aka: Bad, Badder, Baddest)


The Bad
I am the gun-toting, God-fearing Ganja Gangsta.

In the old woods did yang jump and laugh
For the weather was good for the fish he sought
In the ornate mansion did ying fret and cry
For wealth was the reason her parents fought

Deep within, she...

Hopeless beings walk in reckless sin
Seek and search for a place of eternal
cling,
We flock houses of worship
But instead we engage in some spiritual
War-Ship
Instead of seeking the fathers Lordship,
Our outward appearance may seem so
pleasant
Our verbal prowess...

It invades.
It comes when you least expect it,
When things are going just fine.
Then boom!
And in it wades.

It takes you by surprise,
When you have always been...

In the shadows of my mind
I see there painted black
Suffering as if he’s blind
In the darkness is his knack

Pain and sorrow he brings
Knowing that we dread
The day when he rings
The bell whom we’ve fled

Our demise...

(for Jim Ducker)


The growth plundered your voice,
robbing it of tone; you spoke
in well-articulated whispers, inhaling
through that tube thing in your throat.

You shone, in spite of it all.
No self-pity, even near the end,
after years of speaking...

Beyond the dark horizons,
Our hearts will once more sing,
For those who leave us for awhile,
We believe their journey just begun.
Life holds many facet but this Earth is...

Too much information making all of us dizzy

Most who’ve been exposed self-quarantine

Loving Or Tolerating?
Written: by Miracle Man
5/30/2020

Don’t sit on the sideline but enter the game,
then hear all voices equally in the public forum.
Stop saying things with intent to inflame,
skin color shouldn’t determine our decorum.

Disaster and evil...
