So messed up
Did things
I now regret
Things I can't mention
Putting me under tension
Steadily stealing my attention.
I wish I knew better
I would have done better
I wish I can ease on me
Without dismay
It comes like nemesis
Steady worrying
My peace of mind
Leaving me vulnerable.
What you love
Others might hate
People live and die,
For what they love and believe in
Done things, that made me
Lost family and others trust
Oh God revive, show mercy and endow me again.
With Resurrection comes hope and faith revived,
Holy Spirit assurance, nothing to strive,
A loving Nucleus showing God's power,
A sweet, flowing Peace like a full-bloom flower,
Excellent royalty; all these can be ours!
We must accept Truth and courageously believe as ours:
Jesus as the only Way to Father God,
The Christ, the Friend from Heaven to Sod.
WATER'S BENEFITS
Water is needed for life
This liquid is not to be shunned
When food is quite rare
And you only have air
That water to quench will be nice
So with the Water of Life
Our Lord provides against sin
If you see its value
And let it revive you
You'll be glad you took my advice

Revive me with a little hot pepper honey

Revive Than Survive and Remain Alive
This is what life will be all about
Love and belief in God must revive,
Than my soul will be able to survive;
Always being,
Worth seeing;
Remain in existence and stay alive.

The blade buried beneath the burning.
Old hopes lost, back in the lash of battle.
One man walks along the winded mount,
Turning slowly, the sun-silvered seas
Draw his heart horizon-ward, his eyes
Focus in search of the lone fluttering sail,
The boat that bears his bloodied King
Away from heavy war forged ruin and waste,
Across the widening waters. Taken to
The healing houses of the Holy Isle.
Once flowing banners torn down, bitter flood
Of his enemies' hate hastening to undo
The loyal legacy. One still loves.
His fate not to fight hard, and fall
At the side of his sovereign Lord.
Ordered and honoured to keep heart-hope alive.
Over gorse crowned cliffs he carries away
The heavy stewardship of the infant prince.
His ward now to watch and rear, until
His time is full ready to revenge his father's fall.

Revive and Remain Alive
Like stock market some did take dive;
Had started coming up to remain alive;
Started clutching;
They were touching,
And our poems caused them to revive.

Revive and Survive
What we want to do is people revive;
Remove weapons so they can survive;
Safe, sane and secure,
We did know for sure,
And can stay on earth and remain alive.

Oh. Father God Lord revive you in me
So that I can be
So that I can see Holy
Oh, Lord, Father God revive you in me
So that I can see
So that I can be Holy
you're all I want to be
Forever close to thee
I wanna be Oh, Father
I want you closer

In you, in your heart let me be near it
If I can be just a drop of you
Father tell me what I must do
Lord revive in me the you in me
give me understanding, patients, and joy
give me honor, hope, love and so much more
Lord let me walk the way you walk
Let me talk the way you talk
you're all I want to be
Forever close to thee
your all that I want to be
Lord revive you in me

Ganga prosperity of ancient history
Futile journey of golden past
Mother of Indian civilization
Builder of the dream of the nation
But now in current time
Ganga is struggling to survive
Life of Indian soul struggling to save its own life
Who is reasonable for this fall?
Step ahead and save the nation
Revive the cultural soul of the nation
Revive again our holy vision
Move ahead and fight with pollution
I am the most useful on my team
Sponsored brand is Supreme
Pls revive or we get creamed
Give you raygun? In your dreams
I shoot zombies in the head
Pls revive or we're all dead
Cannot stop even for bed
Favorite zeppelin is made of led
Mom do yell at me
I am black belt I wear Gi
Use bottle for when I pee
Trip over trophy from spelling bee
Scream and cry and pee a little
Cannot stand, bones are brittle
Mom comes and spouts some useless drivel
Do make me grow? No, I shrivel
Dad tries to leave me at gas station
Cannot run, no respiration
I am put on the iron lung
Mother do not care if I get hung
I am white, water is spicy
Pull out whipped cream, getting dicey
Way too hot for my desire
Blood pressure rapidly climbing higher
I am so dank, so MLG
Dortitos are the end of me
I die
Revise A Revised Revision or the Three Rs
Who would want to be fooled by a phony fake?
Before heart will break, another version make,
And while at it remove each excessive word
Wherever and when they all had occurred.
He could care less about being intelligent;
Thought that everything was irrelevant
And after he had heard someone call,
He never tried to listen to anyone at all.
He utterly was inclined to have an urge;
Spent all of his money when he would splurge
And of some sense never gained a grain;
Expelled when actions were hard to explain.
Each time was haunted over hill he vaunted;
Taunted by waves and was a surfer undaunted;
Easily swayed and person who was well fed;
Turned fat, went to bed then ended up dead.
PS. While I became a poet who was well read.
