Seek Knowledge
People are hungry for spiritual nourishment.
Need rest from all of the chaos.
Your vision is blurry.
With heavy burdens, always worried.
With gossip, always complaining.
Never open minded.
Castings stones at others.
A path of the unrighteous.
Never open to change.
It has to be always your way.
Separate yourself from the world.
Greedy but unfulfilled.
Only focus on wants and needs.
Never giving. Always receiving.
Blaming someone else.
Never take accountability.
Aggressive and always with anger yelling.
Never slow to anger.
Takes time to mature.
A new road, follow the cross.
Barry, your old ways.
Rise up and be humble.
This is the new me.

So growing the flower in my heart;
Arms outwardly stretch up start;
Perceptions premised parts;
Up holding unrighteous darts;
Needless to prevail the dark;
~
Whose am I to embark;
Seeking these those dark;
Uncircumcised found lost;
Available accumulation at all cost;
Blessed Good with the love of God;
Seekers found impressonable not flawed;

those who love violence
the Lord examines both the
righteous and wicked

When...through it all, we trust Him!
To verily, Let God Have His Way…
Is much more than words… we say
It’s choosing to stand …and survey
Rather than to bend things our way
It is calling on our...faith...each day
While ignoring the obvious… display
Of the bold, unrighteous acts at play
It is being still when itching to...flay
It is trusting when wanting to...bray
It is patience despite the vast outlay
Of what is wrong, and fully decayed
It is strength found in hope’s…sleigh
It’s leaning while relying on Yahweh
It is remaining silent in times of gray
It is crying but turning…yet… to pray
It is when in humanness of our...clay
We tell Jah what we want on our tray
But then tarry not… to hastily convey
All the results...are His whatever may
Also, it is waiting… within belief’s ray
As we yield to Let God Have His Way
Job 23:10, 12:15, 19:25, Hab 3:17-19, Ps 13

I was clothed in sin and dirt
Yet this is what I’m worth
I am made to be this way
So I cleansed my unrighteous ways
But in God, in Christ I’ve put on a new nature
I am a new creation, creature
I’ve become renewed
As you too will learn
To know your Father, you’re Creator
Wash me
Cleanse and birth born me again
Forgiven me choose me chosen me a child of the one and only true King
You’ll know your creator and be renewed, rebirthed in Him
Changed I am
I am
Changed
Changed
Changed
I am changed, changed,
Changed

Listen, God…
Please hear my plea
I’ve sinned and again….
Need Your grace
Your forgiveness and mercy
Your compassion and pity
Listen, God…
To the heart who believes
In Your wonderful grace
Your pardon of my iniquity
Your absolution of my crime
Your forgiveness of my wrong
Listen, God….
Please heed my heart’s cries
I need Your kindness, Your clemency
The blessing of Your grace
Freeing me of all this guilt and shame
Because You shed Your light
Across the shadow of my regret
Remorse for this doubt
Without You, dear God…
I would be lost, beyond hope
Without a chance of knowing the way
Toward peace that encompasses me
When I pray… for Your grace
The whisper of a love so amazing
It saves my soul from misery
Listen, God…
To the thankfulness of a heart
Who knows You are the answer
To every prayer for hope, faith and love
All the joy that rains down from above
All the wonder of Your one and only Son!
Isaiah 55:7 KJV - Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

HE'S SORRY HE IS ABOUT TO CHANGE HIS LIFE-
It's not about milk, honey, kindness and money
He's not about to change his life
An unjust man unrighteous sinner man
Seeking salvation and repentance
He's not about to change his life
And yet he does
Seeking salvation and repentance
So sorrowful of those unjust things he's done
And yet he does
An unjust man unrighteous sinner man
So sorrowful of those unjust things he's done
It's not about milk, honey, kindness and money

ON REVENGE
Revenge is too often rarefied as the idol of man's veneration.
It is also viewed as unrighteous of earnest thought.
Having recovered from slander
By my adversary,
my enemies and my antagonists;
Learned what it means to be bullied
Love left out of reach of them!
I saved myself from evildoers;
These ruthless bastards and es left me no choice;
but to fight;
I stayed lying in wait to approach;
My compelling truth conspired against them.
Revenge is sweet…..Sometimes!

"A man convinced against his own will, is of the same opinion still".
It used to be
two opinions
two paths
two ideologies
Two Choices
Day and Night,
Men and women,
Boys and girls,
Fathers and mothers,
Rights and the wrongs
open and closed,
gain and loses,
Lovers and the haters,
Good and evil,
Rich and poor,
Foolish and wise,
success and failure,
learned and unlearned ,
The living and the dead,
The willing and unwilling,
The thankful and thankful,
fruitful and unfruitful,
Righteous and the unrighteous.
the truthful and the Liars,
Then came
The "Vaxxed" and "unvaxed".
the sane and the insane,
Then they had a problem
as Nations bow to Socialism
and President becomes Dictators
and pharmaceutical made the world a Lab
and the media as viceroy
compel us by repetition.

There were many falling angels;
There are falling angels;
Ever so beautiful;
Persuaded, lied too and hindered blinded by the truth;
As an Archangel misguides them;
Falling to earth down to the pit
Hell hath no fury left;
Regards to thief;
Once empowered an holy arch Angel;
Head of the Holy Heavenly Choir;
Lucifer!
A majestic awesome Holy angel;
Now turnt heading for brimstone and fire;
Through admiration, turned to jealousy;
Thought of being better than thee;
A Righteous and Only the Holy God;
He whom created ALL
Yes, Even Jesus Christ our Lord,
Heaven and Earth adore thee;
O’ unrighteous and unholy jealous one
One day you’ll be shackled and chain and bound in hell where you belong

Who makes an enemy of a wounded child of God,
Who claim to understand God’s amazing grace
They walk unrighteous paths with feet unshod.
They choose the path to perdition, long and broad,
While all the while seeking to impress, save face--
Who makes an enemy of a wounded child of God.
It is they who perpetuate the bothersome fraud
As they go about, day by day, from place to place,
They walk unrighteous paths with feet unshod.
They solicit plaudits and stand among the flawed,
Clasping minions who share their earthly space
Who makes an enemy of a wounded child of God.
Eschew the hypocrite; with them do not be awed
Do not seek their welcoming unholy embrace,
They walk unrighteous paths with feet unshod.
God has created every soul to walk upon the sod
To do His will; to longingly search for His grace
Who makes an enemy of a wounded child of God
They walk unrighteous paths with feet unshod.

subtitled: The Christian World View
Our souls are blessed
with life eternal
We are God-breathed
made in His image.
Our souls never die
our spirits are born dead
we are born sinners
rebellious, unrighteous,
separated from God.
Our spirits can choose
to reject or accept God
as outlined in the scripture
When we confess Christ,
as Almighty God,
we become "believers."
His Word becomes our compass.
The death, burial and resurrection
of Jesus Christ grants us
forgiveness for sin and
grants us grace in our failure to follow
God's righteous path for mankind.
When we profess Christ as our Savior,
our spirits are reborn.
God's Holy Spirit
comes to live within us
teaching us how He wants us to live.
The spirit and the soul
exist in our body
a physical body, visible and mortal.
Our body will likely die (
unless Jesus returns first).
Remember, our souls never die.
Now when the body dies, what happens
to that eternal soul that has no connection
with God, the soul that has a dead spirit?
Where does the unbeliever's soul go
when the body (with a dead spirit) dies?

Standing up for Minorities
A minority is black, not white.
A minority is she, not he.
A minority is alternative, not straight.
A minority is poor, not rich.
A minority is powerless, not powerful.
A minority is homeless, not housed.
A minority is addicted, not clean.
A minority is immigrant, not resident.
A minority is mother, not father.
A minority is sister, not brother.
A minority is unwanted pregnancy, not birth.
A minority is clean air, not pollution.
A minority is rising tides, not still waters.
A minority is extinction, not existence.
A minority is over-population, not subsistence.
These causes make no sense.
They have neither rhyme nor reason.
Expect not God's defense,
if you blast out curses and commit holy treason.
The unrighteous knew not God,
so they made laws for themselves.
They campaigned for justice,
and unwittingly chose hell.
"Get right with God," is topic "minority."
change your focus inward
and the topic of worlds will be dispelled.

Due to our country’s enforced lockdown
Work fervor has slowed down
Yet we’re cheered not to break down
As God with His mercy never shuts down.
Though we miss this year’s Summer* venture
In our tribe’s April culture midst bonding nurture
Through livestreaming, we have reunions of caring gesture
Along great cooking with creative menus’ feature.
Thankful still, we let go of graduation exercises
Considering that such minimizes expenses
Likewise all our scheduled “May alliances”
Because of social distancing and no handshake practices.
Our Summer hot pursuits are indeed jubilant
With faith in the Lord Who makes days triumphant
While having hearts, spiritually radiant
To share warmth of love** … graciously abundant.
*Here in the Tropics, Summer is from March to May.
*Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Mama I'm sorry
for what I've done
I am sorry for those
sins I've caused from the womb
I misbehave
but with Jesus
through Him
I am saved
Mama I'm sorry for what I've done
I'm sorry for all the wrongs
Forgive me your sinful son
I am a product Adam
I hidden my shames and sins in the brush
I was naked I have lost
This I confess
but now I've turned around
I'm put a cloth of righteousness on
and through Jesus's grace
I cannot face
I'm sorry for what I've done
Unrighteous son
Mama forgive me for what I've done
