I was innocent as I went to sleep,
But soon I would be in trouble, deep.
My problems would pile up in a heap
As I went to sleep, to sleep.
I began to nap, blameless and free,
Without a trouble in the world,
But, as I lay there snoozing soundly,
Unfortunate events unfurled.
I witnessed the unlucky ax murder
Of a friend of a friend.
Why was I the only one to see?
Fate, I cannot comprehend.
The living friend asked me who did it.
So I squealed on who I saw.
A second murder, then sadly ensued, as he
Killed her with a hammer claw.
For that murder, then I too was guilty,
The jury reasoned, wise.
I should be sentenced unsparingly,
They sagely did advise.
In my friend's guilt, I would rightly share,
Though I went to sleep without a care,
I woke up to the chair, the chair.
I woke up to the electric chair.

Good Night Sleep Tight
I lay in bed Processing my day in my head.
Things I’ve forgotten, things I should’ve said.
I can’t quiet the voices in my head
Telling me what I should’ve done instead.
Did I do all I could?
Have I done everything I should?
Is the Lord forgiving
of the life I'm living?
Do my children know the love
That comes unsparingly from above?
Are they saying their prayers tonight
Trusting in the Lord in all things out of sight?
Abba you know my heart,
The turmoil tears me apart.
I hope you are proud of me,
When it is your face I see
Have I shown my gratitude
Being thankful instead of rude?
Please quite these voices in my head
And let me sleep instead.

Equipped with pen, designing this script
Gripped again as winding words dip
Baring my essence with ink unsparingly
Sharing secrets that slide smooth to daringly
Facing a rendition of untainted passion
Tracing ambitions awaited in caption
Captured liquid flow of ink put to paper
Raptured text knows in suspended vapor
Faint the structures obscured in parallels
Painted in delicate hues of hushed pastels
Embracing lyrics immersed in my mind
Laced with compassion rhymes are defined
Hearing chords while straying to falsetto
Clearing realistic distinct vocal vibrato
Creating the sustenance that feeds the fire
Dictating stamina’s unyielding desire
Interpreting rhythm while riding each bar
Reassuring fragmented prisms in the stars
Fragility in irresistible loving capacity
Humility of diversity in spun rhapsody

When the moon wakes up and smiles
Crickets begin to chirp from their balconies
Bats wake up and go to hunt their prey
But trees are silent, only waving to the world
Mice crawl to fill their bellies with stolen food
Clouds spread their arms to cover moon’s face
For dancers without music to roam the villages
In the silence of doves that love to coo, whisper
When the moon smiles unsparingly with creatures
Oceans catch cold and blow wet dust in faces
As hyenas laugh with the fisherman’s goats
With king of cats flashing eager torchy eyes
When the moon smiles in the countryside
Some creatures enter their shells of isolation
Hunters enjoy, cowards regret and the sleeping lie
For they know the smiles never turn into laughter

Alcohol builds
challenging disorder
effects,
future gets high
intoxication;jeopadised
living moments.
Now one`s pleasure_ _
quandary, retribution
surely torment_ _
unsparingly;
Both children and
parents may suffer
mental
and emotional
consequences in life.

Repentance a change of mind, actions, and direction,
I had it wrong over and over again. It’s not enough to
Repent with just words and no actions. It was a real
Eye opener for me, it makes good sense a revelation.
Repentance and love both go hand in hand. Actions speaks
Louder than words nothing’s exempt from me and you.
The one word we dread, when speaking day by day.
Ask God’s help unsparingly, he’ll grant it when you pray.

Who beckoned the beast forward
Stirring within a darkness found
Covering the shadows of evolution
Where the sands do not fall
No inkling…
Lumbering forward he lurches
Westward on a destructive swath
Painful in staunch remorselessness
Devouring serenity unsparingly
Laughter echoes…
Obliterating all yet sparing life
Clawing over obsidian ranges
Shrouded rivers of flowing blood
No escaping or resisting
Manufactured divinity…
Crusading of envelopments plague
Unceasing war of casualties
Flawless insight
Perfectly executed battleplans
A losing victory…
Savvy smug accomplishment
Every birthright now victimized
Still among us obscuring eyes
Warring campaigns concluding
Destiny dissolved…
United we are peoples many
On a marble spinning as one
No flight from his warping grasp
They will come praising his name
Civilization…
