Pay Poems

A Poem For My Ministry Site Visitors 

A Small Oblation

I do not minister for money,
But somehow it seems kind of funny,
That those who let me build this site,
Somehow feel that it's alright,

For me to pay a monthly fee,
To offer all...Read More

I'd been working overtime one hot august night
And finished about nine thirty; the sky was still bright
Took a short cut through woods at the edge of town
Was looking forward to a hot shower and a lie down.

I passed the empty...Read More

When I was young my mother's hand
Led me through a joyful land
Where neither war nor hate exist
Nor something more I must resist 

Where nothing but the night is black
And black is never dark for lack
Of something bright or greater light
But...Read More

Four o’clock sure comes quickly
The early bird gets the worm
Meetings at 6:30
I’ve worked so hard for all I’ve earned
 
I was focused on the future
Trying to build my legacy
Rising to the top
I lost all sight of you and me
 
{Pre-chorus}

A huge sound waits bound in ice, the world of the poor has been cold as ice Denied of justice and made to pay a heavy price.
A lonely loud voice above the mountain calling out for justice for the poor

Unfaithful marital transgressions
self admitted indictment,
crime and punishment,
no longer think high lee
entailing no mister re: demeanors,
I searingly weathered

(George by bushed, albeit thankfully,
no unwanted child left behind),
nonetheless one unforgettable
indelible, execrable, and abominable
professedly owned his
civil warring battle of life

transgressions undeservedly heaped
(Uriah hit about...Read More

I will not hold your golden trophy high above MY head
Or wear your name engraved with cheap polyester thread
I’m so sorry you can’t decide what to wear today,
Will it be the Christian Dior or the Versace green lamay?
Your Jimmy Choos...Read More

My Immortal

A raven made no shame of it, sailed past my opened chamber door,
Aghast, at last, espy my guest, the beautiful madam Lenore,
Said I, madam please pay no heed, with that said, it left abhor,
We then cajoled, read on my...Read More

We all desire a relationship that will work out in our favour, a relationship that would keep us smiling even during the challenging days.  The problem comes in when it is time to build the foundation, especially if it...Read More

In the kitchen she sits on a three-legged stool.
She died in the living room,
her heart burst, and out flew
all the skills of her hands.
Now she cooks the twilight between the days,
the dried fruits of yester-years.

I watch her thoughts take shape,
how...Read More

Like a parvenu with new found riches,
I had to adjust to the new thrust of
wearing both motherhood and work britches.
But unlike riches with pleasure twitches,
my changes gained me pressure stiches!
I became a day and night thriving,
gotta getter-doner energizer
conquering to-do lists...Read More

Mike had an overdraft that put him in a pickle
He wasn't worth a dime not even a nickel
He would be the first to say when he got his pay
He went out to play
He loved playing cards, he mostly lost
He bet...Read More

"S is for Silence"



Once Love lived in a heart
a storm called S
ripped it apart on a 
sunny blue sky day
tears fell like rain 
in a broken cup of  
trust rusting, it was 
swallowed by 
Respect who lay 
curled up...Read More

Child killers
Sexual abuses

A wife beaten to a pulp
Becuase her husband was drunk

Someone's Grandmother
Robbed to provide a junkies fix

A war vetran 
Conned out of his life savings
So he can't even pay for his own funeral costs

A charity  coin collection box
A...Read More

Looking at these photos, from not that long ago
I couldn’t help but wonder, where did that person go 
The images so full of life and smiles upon that face
When I looked into that mirror, I saw instead disgrace
Not that I...Read More

The barrel is oiled and it’s ready to go,
ammo’s in the magazine ready to flow
Universal cover mode, unsure who will show
Finger on the trigger now, I’m ready to blow

True to my sights so don’t show your face
I see you in...Read More

I once knew a pirate name Geer
Thought that prices for piercings were dear
He argued a while
Then agreed with a smile
And said, "I'll pay, buck-n-ear!"...Read More

I am malignant 
Does anybody care that I’m widowed
I wash my face and hands in a prison
Does anybody care that I’m without bed and pillowed
My emotions and head and heart loft arisen
Government treatment of me so indignant
~
Just a pestilence dreamer
Does...Read More

To bleed from memories that stab the mind
Of the times now passed that had born no fruit
The days and nights in a mirror unkind
Reflect the passion love did prostitute
As love was well-worn as a liar's coat
To warm the lonely heart...Read More

THE LAST THOUGHTS OF A FALLEN CHAMPION

This one time I know I was  caught below the belt
No doubt I got it wrong and I'm far from my best
My last chilling and coin now I've lost to the bet
Without the...Read More

Shield

We held your dying baby, we tried our very best.
Even though you caused it, we treated you like the rest.

we dragged you from that car crash, the one that killed that child
we still told you that you’d be ok, regardless...Read More

WHERE THERE IS A WILL

It has been over three months now and still no Grans will
Through the letterbox; comes another, got to be paid bill
  
As the insurance didn’t cover for my Grans Zombie death
Then left all alone, to...Read More

I climbed a mountain in a land of sun
Of epic landscape and of sweet cuisine
But scarecely had my lone ascent begun
Than woke a silent urge for a latrine

Too long must I have lingered at the wide
And bounteous smorgasbord in the...Read More

No" she screamed as she broke open the door
But his feet were a foot above the floor.
She tried her best, but the rope stood strong,
He finally corrected, his every wrong!!!

On the other side, the needle pierced her vein
She felt it...Read More
