Good Friday StrandedFour months pregnant
show them the belly.
Real not plastic,

a lack of eye contact
stuck at the Papa John's
on Fountainbridge. Eleven PM.
Drunken men to be avoided.
A place to stay - no,
money for a place to stay.
It's...

They followedHe led them, and they followed
It was easy, lightly stepped
Not yet hollow, full of depth
A prophet with a promise not yet met
Of eternity, of love and affection
Yet something lies in his inflection
He speaks of grandure...

IncarnateIn the cycle of lives, in the wheel of fate,

Are we shadowed by our past and sins?

The Fatality Of ReligionCathedral Mosque
or Synagogue
their masquerade
the same
Preaching what
they don’t believe
the Good Lord

other faiths
Self-righteous ire
scriptures burn
as blood flows
through the gate
Colleges and
social networks
homes where they
blaspheme
Younger hearts
and narrow minds
starving
to believe
The clock ticks down
as options...

Modern day phariseesThe Holy Spirit through our souls searches
and in despair silently He cries:
there are so many Pharisees in churches,
exhibiting hypocrisy and lies.

but not His holy image they...

The Old Church Revisited
The space is smaller
than what was measured by memory,
the stained glass windows much less
vibrant compared to what glowed
brightly in the light of back then.
The pews have been worn down
to bare wood...

THE DIFFERENT PHASES AND FACES OF LIFEThis life has many different phases and faces
As you navigate the intricate phases and faces of life,
And life gets off the hook,
And decides to downgrade you, upgrade yourself and your life with Jesus

Anew EarthWill the world be reborn?
Or will this empty bliss be all that we know?
What can we do?
Can we say anything?

their beautiful physique.
In laws of old religion,

Sometimes sold by fathers,
a financial commodity.
The more that females cry...

Born into a culture,
following ritual,
we trust the holy book
but if we pause to think,
we’ll see we were mistook.
Born into...
