“I would never speak to someone like that”
But in my mind it’s definitely spat,
“I could never be so mean, so heartless”
As I’ve walked by those with far less.
“I care about the broken and neglected”
While I know I’ve had them rejected and ejected.
“I shall speak only truth, no lie will come from me!”
And the heat turned up, so a “mistruth” was spoke into being.
“I will be a shelter for all, ask nothing in return for the shade from this tree.”
But something boils up: what is this greed that I’m seeing?
For all the times I held back when I was taunted,
A thousand more trail behind, and I am haunted.
For all the things I’ve fronted and flaunted…
Becoming me is the last thing I ever wanted.
I did not eat your little birdie
I did not make it chow
You may be thinking it was me
But it was me no how.
Compromising regard to life
thou being my curse
turning my world asunder
in your regard I was lesser
a presence in whispers
You the filch-er stole self
the cadence of speech
seem as missives
reaching a velvet caress
raising expectation
your delusion no mistruth
nectarous phrase
dripping love
suddenly discord pricks
a deceived psyche
Thou eyes serpentine
gave thee away
glinting ego
treachery unveiled
A crescent moon
bandits signal light
cloaking and revealing
razor sharp talons
slicing my psyche
demon shadow
concealing
your gleefulness
at arranging its pieces
a grotesque disarray
your magnum opus
the crumbling effigy of my entity
plundered dreams shattered
to nothingness
Still
holding portions of self
supplanting thee
is no question
as time rules
so
my being follows you
Piece by bloody piece …
We stand and fall. We stand for God and we fall in the flash daily.
The future depends on us and so does our children.
So we must be a light to them and others and show them the ways to the light of heaven. We must stay strong in our faith.
We must keep the fire of Jesus in our heart and soul.
To show the unsaved the way and put a light in the children’s souls
so they wont go far from Gods. And be able to show the way for others their ages They can feel the love of God in their life.
Our faith and love can be renewed by seeing our children in the grace of God’s arms. Where they can find the, they need to make it through this evil world of hate, war , mistruth , and drugs. We must stay firm and this world standing on this rock of hope, faith and joy love that only God has and coming back for.
Do you have faith in God or are you fighting against it?
God will always answer your prays if you are patient
With God. And walk by faith God will bring you joy and peace in your life. Do you have faith or are you living in life walking by sight and feeling of helplessness, without faith that God will help you. Do have faith if so walk by it and let the power , of God but faith in your soul being you peace you need . To make it through this world of hate and mistruth. Do you have the faith that Jesus had on cross ,that day he gave us faith forgiveness and life ever lasting and a way to see heaven. Do you have faith if so walk on it and believe in the promise that God gave us?
