If tables were turned
and I left you in the dust,
how would you feel then?...

As a youth, the days seemed too short
  the months and the years ever so long

Yet now that the tables have turned
  life gently whispers a different song...

Fall down now
Before my knees you shall bow
Karma has come around 
Inside you have drowned
Your words have been burned
Now the tables been turned
Your table is reserved
A cold dish served
With a taste you cant drink away
I told you you’d pay
It sinks in
Now I win...

I kept my promise even when you lied
What we had is all gone now 
This time, I won't, I refuse and I won't accept your bad behavior toward me.

I kept my promise even when you lied
I'm good now and finally the tables have turned and only hope you learn this lesson by losing me...

At first the time seem perfect.  Everything seem alright when u think it comes to 
the best some one has to turn out the lights.  Now the tables have turned and 
this is what I have learned.

"Something's in life are going to be a disappointment so don't always keep your 
hopes up"...

The sky touches the ground. 

                                       The poorest wears the crown. 


                        The worlds richest, now begging for heavenly riches.
                                        
                                    What and who is glorified on earth,

                                         but not glorified in heaven....

A sense of loss is a terrible feeling,
it leaves a hallow pit in one's stomache,
feelings of hoplessness daunts the spirit,
Loss, most people don't want to know it
and many run from it,
Loss means that there has to be a new beginning,
when the tables are turned around,
and the promise of winning becomes intoxicating,
Then loss would have been a passage paid for better things
to come..........

A deep dark secret
Detected and unlocked
The secrets then started spewing
Blood began to tumble
Hurt started to rumble
Nothing was ever the same
The tables were turned
No one could be trusted
All hearts turned to stone
All was burned
All was tortured
And there was never any resolution
So as I sit here and ponder my every thought
I gaze out my window
And a tear forms to my eye
So, why?...

No way to pay the bills!!

With little money from the job.

By taxes and debt, a freeman kneels.

To be like the flock, the mindless mob.

Awake!!  Oh slave, your labor to rob!



The tables have turned today!!

Working for ourselves, not a job.

We control the amount of our pay!

The rich and powerful chased by the mob.

It will soon be the taxman we'll rob.

A pawn in the game 
A bet on the table 
To you I'm just a name 
To me, you're the gamble 

Place the bid high 
I play to win 
Cause when I hold the deck 
Your feelings will spin 

Now the tables have turned 
It's your heart, my hands 
So toss the dice again 
And hope in your favor it lands 

In the end, I'm just a pawn 
You're still just the bet 
But now I'm the checkmate queen 
Of a jackpot you'll never get...

J-ust turn the tables on the devil, 
U-sing your faith, hope, and love; 
N-ever be wild like a roaring lion, be meek instead like a gentle dove.

L-et the tables be turned on the devil, 
I-t's time to win over his tricks; 
G-et up from temporary setback, 
D-on't be deceived by his tactics.
A-llow your heart and mind to follow the Almighty's will; 
O-n the nineteenth of January, just turn the tables on the devil....

When my days are over
and the good Lord calls me home.

When I reach the pearly gates
and for my lifes accounting I do wait.

Will my account at God's bank of good deeds
be full or over drawn?

For my sins do I still have a debt I have yet to pay
or have I paid my way as I've gone along each day?

Will St Peter let me in the pearly gates
or have my sins earned a debtors fate?



This was inspired by Elliott Bowe's poem When the Tables are Turned....

Did I ever love you,
or was it a figment 
of my imagination,
'tween the light of
dark persuasions 
thinking sentiments
would blossom, yet 
fig trees froze whilst
lemon trees & magnolias
 withered 'neath the rein 
of your infatuations when
unkempt tables were turned,
back midst a chilly November
whence Spring never transpired

"Was I ever someone
Who could love you forever"

Inspired by Leonard Cohen's Did I Ever Love You
