What we hear
What we say
What we remember in our way

What goes in?
What comes out?
What we show when we are in doubt

What we think
What we feel
What is fake from what is real?

What we smell
What we touch
What tells the body it has had too much?

What we swallow
What we know
What helps or stops things that might grow?

What we

For the Life of Me

I swore I'd turn and back away,
Resist the call, from the lurking flay.
For the life of me, I could not allay the stay!

Before me lay a morsel, a mere tit bit.
A taste I took, another, another, but could not scoff remit,
For the life of me, I could not help it!

I told myself to turn away,

Self Control

Self control, God knows, is difficult at best…
Especially when rebellious is the
 self possessed.
I've put myself in corners,
I'll be grounded till pigs have wings
I can't even tell myself what to do, it seems. 

Self Control

Self control is
Everything; its
home is the heart.

No Self Control

Fudgy was Pudgy
little too much pudding pie
damn that stuff is good

Self Control

whims may become a blessing or a curse
pushing one toward certain ruin or worse
drinking from the deep well of evasion
well versed in dark practices of persuasion
fixating on dreams of what ought to be
avoiding what mirrors reality

totally free of social encumbrances
in spite of what the best assumption is
wandering through this life oblivious
hiding from anything too obvious
urge

Inviting Sadness: Don'T Do It Without Divinehelp

I
We invite sadness when bad news shows up
It is the polite thing to do
Unless you have divine help, guard up!
Yes, variety is good. Upbeat is boring good

Self-Control

So many bloodbaths have taken their toll:
that thinking about it brings me to tears.
And too often, has sin tainted my soul;
for me to find God in my later years.

I still see the wild animal in Man
that history confirms was always there.
Although we deny the truth when we can,
human atrocities are everywhere.

Genocide and blatant brutality
are fueled

I Want But Don't Need

I Want, But Don't Need

Yes, "I Want, But Don't Need" is my waistwatcher creed 
     as I walk by each vending machine.
All those chocolate chips calling out to my hips,
     colored Reese's in pieces - obscene!
Will willpower surmount the cholesterol count
     of PayDays

Heavy Going

RoseAnn Malone resolved to lose weight.
She made a list of foods to forsake.
She did well 'till week four
eating more than before.
Airlines had to bill her at the freight rate.

Self Control

R-age, hate, and anger
A-re the same emotional
I-ntent against love; 
N-ever ever let your mind
E-nd up losing self-control.

Your Mama

Your mama is
Your mama said.
Your mama wears

All you have to do at my
school is say your mama,
and world war seventeen begins.

Those two words instantly
throw children into 
fighting mode.

The fourth grade teacher and I
both tried to talk the children
out of this mind frame yesterday.

The mamas were waiting in the
office today to ambush us about it;
in fighting

Teenage Predicament

noone listens to me
ADHERE TO PRINCIPLES

The Fruit of Self Control

God in the scriptures declares His fruits
that is to be the character of His elect
in His list of fruits there's one He lists last
but it's equally important as any of the rest

Every believer needs to exercise this
being on top of their emotions real hard
need the help of the holy spirit to dwell
residing within make sure

Awoken

Could it be possible, 
all i see is an illusion? 
Notice all of the confusion.
Nonetheless lies and intrusion. 

I must fight them to live my own life.
I must stay sharp, like a steak knife. 
There very well may never be a physical bruise-
to what importance of standards would it mean;
to win or to lose.
