Premium Member God Doesnt Make Junk

God doesn’t Make Junk By: Miracle Man 9-8-2019 Never neglect, giving God full measure. Slacking will surely, bring HIM displeasure Don’t be found shirking, for HE knows your heart. God never makes junk, But HE does deal in art.

First Lady Jill

Jill’s a driver; and she is still working
while her other-half bides more time at rest.
Jill faces the unknown, hard job she’s not shirking;
a lady in first place.  Who knows what’s best?

(written just a week before the voters came
to a decision what's best for the US.)

Fire Fight

How very inconsiderate,
dieing in the open;
shirking anonymity
behind the raging green.

You avoided the cacophony,
left random bullets blameless,
then when your God 
abandoned You,
He left

just You,

alone;
refused to leave your ruined face
behind the mangled sandbags,
or in a shallow foxhole,
instead of here,

with Me

Premium Member Docked









boxed to a corner
horde by unseen eyes
shirking the coming dusk
slashed to a million pieces
prickling the mind
wailing, screaming
with concise thoughts
as a lasso to the soul
we pant to the sabbath
as we come to birth
but with the brevity of breath
smirking with utter defiant
swimming in an ocean of doubt

Ss Single and Searching

Deep into the sunflower,
Shirking away in facade.
Alas!
The It in the search for it,
But the constellations know better.
Soon draws in the daily winter;
When the flowers wilt and fall;
As it shivers off the travesties,
To settle up in serene,
Adorning its grey regalia,
Giving It the fickle find.
The moon plays hide and seek,
And the night is It.
