To make it on the stage, in this day and age, I'm convinced, Contacts and Clout are what it's all about. Woke up this mornin', feelin' all washed out, went down to the local drugstore, for a bottle of Clout, the druggist he said, 'Sorry son, we're all sold out.' Woke up this mornin', feelin' all turned about, went to my...

O it's only my precious Lord and Savior, who is really able, To freely and fully deliver yours very truly, From all of my habitual sins and all too persistent, Inequities. O how far have I fallen from Your grace? It's a miraculous miracle that you have not hidden Your holy face far far far away from the likes of...

They followed him. They obeyed and fulfilled his commands. They ate and drank with him. Then they all went their separate ways From the one True and Living God Having a future of being torched. Having a future of being crucified. Having a future of being spit on. Having a future of being skinned alive. And more of the terrible reasons to...

Not only chimes moon bear with my speechless crutches Not only chimes with brass scarred by June fireflies, storm's echoes fade from my hutches — your ghost another side touches Not only chimes ...

It was a vivid, glorious, life, filled with love, struggle and strife; so many scenes, and so many years, unique friends, laughter and tears; So uncanny, so real it seemed, strange to know it was a dream....

Written By: D. Collins 6/14/25 In red states only does deportation get a pass. In those states only did Trump reach out and ask. It should be very clear his constituents made a point. They're "carved-out" of policy where other people aren't. Once all "illegal aliens" are shipped off to somewhere else. What makes people of color think that they...

Supply ships arrived ready to delight the colonists It was a strange eerie day on Roanoke Island No colonist ran out to greet them The ship crews searched for them They had vanished The word Croatan was carved into an oak tree The only indication they had been there at all No bodies were found, no drag marks No sign of a struggle It...

I only wish she hadn’t cried the tears meant for me while she burned under a merciless sun, hadn’t been the sheltering forest while her own bark turned to ash, hadn’t stood like an unmoving mountain to lift me on her shoulders toward the blue skies, hadn’t taken upon herself the dark clouds meant to cover me like...

Let the breath of heaven flow with grace, As the gathering of angels fills this place. Soaring high, both near and wide, His Name, our banner, strength and guide. Refine the oil, let its glow be bright, Let our lives shine with newfound light. The table cleared, a meal prepared, The taste is unknown, yet richly shared. New strength will rise, our souls...

Only yesterday all was fine Loving every second of time Suddenly I'm lonesome and blue Knowing that I am losing you I need a helping hand to hold From someone with a heart of gold Please send your love from you to me When you do, act naturally....

If only I had but a clue, Then surely, I'd know what to do. With life's mystery gone, I'd settle upon Some course that I can't now construe....

2024.5.26 Sunday, My house was broke in. The next day, you messaged me "Good morning". Two hours later, I explained about the robbery. "Invaded?? i went past and saw The police van this morning. I was a bit worried that Something might have happened." From that day, every evening, You came to my place and stay till quite late. You made sure I was protected, Until...

There is a legend deep in the Montana territory, The ancient tale of the shiny mountains that only few can see. Those majestic peaks soar upward almost piercing the clear blue sky, Yet one knows the real shine lies deep inside. Hidden deep inside the mountains it waits patiently, Waiting for that chosen one to set it free. Soon...

"The painting is her. Her ruin, my hunger. Every stroke on the canvas carves her deeper into me. I own her screams now." I don't mind saying the ing word now. I’ve been an *******— it doesn't ing matter. The painting on the wall taunts me, staring, silent, brutal— reminding me of her. Of the way she smiled before I crushed it. Of the...

I have gone where stars dissolve in violet flame, Beyond the breathless hush of time and name, Where silence swells like tides beneath the skin, And nothing waits to let the light begin. The galaxies bent low to let me pass— Each one a frozen bloom of shattered glass. I listened for a voice, a breath, a bell, But all was still,...
