So rudely derailed by three crocodiles
They flashed kids their grins
They wanted to

from darkness to light
for long i swam oceans fed by rivers of sin
my restless mind withheld no trespass on earth
each thought i hatched took root within my soul
and my deeds unveiled the hidden rot i sowed
my conscience died buried in the devils vineyard
i smoked beyond what my fragile lungs could bear
i drank each bottle that promised me forgetting

Problem Solved
Lucifer rebels, war ensues
Igniting evil’s deadly fuse.
Evil assails, Michael prevails
Satan’s revolt in heaven fails.
Cast down to earth, and filled with rage
His war with God, on man he’ll wage.
The rebel heart that his being filled
In human hearts he will instill.
Mission achieved by cunning ruse
Igniting evil’s deadly fuse.
Paradise lost, from Eden tossed
Death is the price man’s sin

Sweet Silence
No sound from busy traffic,
No sound from planes above,
No sound of human voices
Not even cooing doves.
Such silence gives me time to think
To wonder why I’m here
What purpose is my life today?
Uncertainty breeds fear.
I look up high and think of God
His word tells me he rules,
He sent his Son to sort us out.
We don’t need

I had that stone
I was looking at a dying man who was asking me for a stone I had in my pocket. He wanted it to survive, but he was a sinner—because a book said he made fun of people and abused them. I watched him grow pale and wondered: should I help him because of his situation,

God is My Sin
God is My Sin
I became a defendant. Socially indictee
Because I don’t accept the immorality of modern psychology
God created the two parts of life. Man and woman. For life, for life
I believe it
The Bible is my witness
Psychology cannot rule life
Only God

Corporation for Public Broadcasting shuts down after federal funding cuts
( L A. Times - A cogent and accurate commentary by Member - johntomas )
You recycle a common but baseless accusation that NPR and PBS have become “left-leaning,” when in reality, what’s often labeled as “bias” is simply truthful reporting on deeply troubling actions -- including Donald Trump’s sustained attacks on

Felix Culpa
Yahweh’s image! The crown of creation!
Got lured by the snake's words of elation
Did Adam and Eve wish to test their might?
Who deprived them of the angelic light?
Soon, omissions and commissions juggled.
To earn their living, each being struggled.
Friends became foes. Siblings became strangers.
Each day dawned with life-threatening dangers.
The prophets, saints, and martyrs came to save
And lead

Dweller of our heart
“The essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun.” — Unseeking Seeker
••••••••••••••••••••••••
At the beginning—
before Satan lost his place in heaven,
Man had but one thought—only the good, pure one.
Our thoughts were like pearls shining in conscience’s trove,
beacons of hope, our unwavering guide.
Our hearts were like the sun—
they shed light on knowledge, and

DEVIL IN THE DARK
The sun shone in bewilderment,
Scornfully it scorch,
As Rose plead her fifth amendment,
Her good nature made a strife,
Lea smirk in disdain ,
Saith her world has ended.
Twice fairer than Lea,
In Lea heart lies deceit,
She whispers in Rose ear,
Come and sit, where Serpent hisses,
I will smother thee with kisses,
Honey lies secrets not known,
In Lea lives the honey.
Thrice shy,

Of neither the sides of compliance

Coast of Maine
A QUIET RETREAT: PART ONE
I retreated to the edge of Maine,
To a beachside estate where thoughts remain
Unsettled, swirling with cloud and tide
A love poem’s seed buried deep inside.
A heart that longs, a mind at war,
For she I love loves me more
She is bound to another, so the battle stays

Sin Debt
God’s justice necessitated
that my sin debt be paid.
This debt wasn’t something
that I could resolve.
I can still recall,
the simple prayer that I prayed.
I said dear God,
forgive me, a sinner.
