A Well Paid Collapse
The alarm clock sounds off to the tune of Neil Young’s, There’s a World.
A place that is non-existent in today’s life of a constant upwhirl.
Our dreams and aspirations are put to the side.
To get ready for the day of demands and haste for pride.
We enter our vehicles to begin a

I’ve Paid My Dues
to be of use
without abuse
there’s no excuse
a bit obtuse?
well-cooked my goose?
slide on the noose?
that I refuse!
slip on my shoes
spread the news
do not confuse
it’s not a ruse
but what I choose
I’ve paid my dues

Paid
The thing about killing Angels
you have to remember is always go for the kill shot
Most of them can easily take a grenade to the face
Those arch ones usually stay put and watch
Basically on tap with God
Seldomly they will make an appearance
Demons are tricky
Disguise themself basically animal vegetable mineral
One time my electric razor tried to bite

Jesus Paid Or You Will
Jesus Paid Or You Will
Miracle Man
3/16/2025
We spend many hours on things that please us,
spending little time upon our knees with Jesus.
Who went to the cross,
as payment for dross,
When born again, from past sin He frees us.

I paid no heed to the call of the sirenS
I paid no heed to the call of the siren(s)
where amble lances
hurled with the might
of off fish hull seductress dances
setting figurative stage to take a bite
from canoodling beastie boy best eaten alive
or just after freshly being killed.
oblivious to the ramifications
courtesy the deafening ear splitting sound,
nor mindful of the devastating emotional fallout
lurking within outer

For Taunya L P-R
For your Himalayan Singing Bowl retreat stood neat.
For you gifted five eager souls, sheer enjoyable flight -
For your expense paid treat gave me first time visit,
And I, on friendly shores of my mother's birth, rejoiced.
Our aircraft desked in red, yellow, blue, and white,
The Island of Jamaica showered us with welcome signs.
Thank you!
St Ann's Bay of

The piper is paid
When all is said and done,
And the piper is paid
What a relief it will be
The end of this 38 year game that was
played
To get out of darkness, to find the light
A new future begins, happiness in sight
But to get to that stage alot must be done
To say I'm the victor, the battle i won
Many

We paid
Never will i depend on no female, because we paid. Trust, money up top, ask around we rock, because we paid. No time to wait and sit, bless my day so we paid. Baby momma tripping, if I'm not on it . We paid. Thanks for the one that believed in me. I'm not

you've paid
As the world rises and falls
You were the hound
now you're the quarry
Ending games
always changes the colour of your eyes
Now you carry the World on your shoulders
Once you were free
but the onus is rebound
You've paid for your opinions
quelle surprise

Paid in Full
Blood, sweat and tears
Through Christ Jesus, we can conquer our fears
Through His death, we can discover a new breath of life
His life was put under the knife
This was to give us new life
Paid in full
So you and I can fulfill our destiny and
Exhibit the magnificent Grace bestowed upon us
Death could not hold him
A new

Paid In Lives
The white dove is always covered in blood
The olive branch is laced in thallium
The broken gun is used as a dagger
And the paper crane is burning in the fire
The sins of the master washed by the blood of the servant
And the martyr’s leave orphans with the monsters
The children who die are

Jesus paid price for our Sins
In the beginning, God's love did shine
Creating the world, and all that is mine
But sin entered in, and darkness did reign
Separating us from God, and causing such pain
But God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son
To save us from sin, and bring us back to Him
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, came

Paid dogs watching over
Barking their insecurities
