Short Prepaid Poems

Troubled friend, your heart
    displayed
unforgiving blade before me
    splayed
your blood
    it pools in love
    betrayed
forever young
    your debts prepaid

Too busy writing
to care if you listened
Space there before me,
live ink on the page

To say it just once
with no echo to follow
Questions—unanswered
endorsement prepaid

The truth is dirty
The truth is real
You can switch it on
You can switch it off
On demand
Prepaid
Warts n all
Don't deny it 
Don't defy it
No no no
Grab hold of it
Make it your own 
Go with it
May it be
Strong in you....

Here lies Timmy, who loved shows on TV.
Hear one right now being played.
They are not being piped in for free.
He had an eternity's worth prepaid.

Whilst in ones youth, I beg to question,
Why twice ten years sums darkly fossil,
If numbered twenty from conception,
Whilst in ones youth.

Immortal years, weaned blindly hostile,
Demanding half and whole apart as one,
Until twice twenty, rears itself colossal.

Twice again, steers an Elysian direction,
A course prepaid, far too late to jostle,
Time is never subject to dissection, 
Whilst in ones youth....

 Salvation Was Prepaid
Written: by Miracle Man
9-22-2019

Gods judgment requires,
that for misdeeds someone pay.
Salvation has been prepaid,
for those who seek it today.

When we accept this free gift,
we’re no longer convicted.
By shifting our guilt to Jesus,
we ceased being afflicted.

God accepted Jesus’ payment,
for mankind’s sin, on the cross.
Don’t continue letting sin,
be your life’s albatross.

I wonder if I’m the only one
who smells the fetidness
of dead daylilies,
carrion that lies concealed
off the beaten path.
Could it be my preoccupation with death lately?
Reviewing my will, perusing my prepaid
funeral expenses and life insurance,
that have acutely enhanced
my sense of smell for the morbidities
of death.
It’s not a pleasant state of mind
to live with and act unconcerned
concerning the inevitable conqueror worm....

Forgiven Sin’s
Written: by Miracle Man
7/27/2024

God’s justice required a payment,
for all of my wrong doing. 
I was unable to satisfy my debt,
for the sin that I was accruing.

But my faith spanned the gap,
between Holy God and me.
He heard my sinners prayer,
 and at that moment set me free.

For my sin debt was prepaid,
through Jesus at the cross.
He paid the ultimate price,
taking upon Himself, my dross.

Thank You Jesus!

I should of seen this coming 
Our love was to good to be true 
You showed your true colors when I got my prison blues 
I never got a letter I never got a visit 
Your promise was broken from the moment that you said it 
I tried to call prepaid but the number had been changed 
So I sit in this cell and dwell on the words that you said 
Like a broken record in my head 

I got these Prison blues when I got my Prison blues 
You said you would ride tell you died but that was just a lie....
