Killing women and children
Is absolutely unacceptable
Executing sick and old men
Is obviously low and despicable.
You can make countless speeches
You can invent endless excuses
Slaughtering so many is genocidal
Hurting so many can never be justifiable.
The world is now less peaceful and civilized
A cease fire is long overdue and warranted
This is barbaric; too many leaders are demented.
When will decency and humility be exercised?
Lies won’t fly, because they have no visible wings
This is horrific; too many have blood on their hands.

I hear the rain outside. The dawn of morning does not know me.
Crowds gather in the broken mist and chant and chant for me.
I sit up in the corner, walled uneven stone surrounding me.
I hear the footsteps coming and the fiddling with the keys.
They don’t wait for me to stand before they bring me to my feet.
No words are said, no songs are sung just eyes all over me.
The holy man prays for my soul, but his forgiveness ain’t what I need.
We walk the path of trodden stone to the end of life for me.
The gallows bear like a wooden tower as up its steps I’m forced to be.
As the rope is placed around my neck courage overpowers the fears in me.
I look at the crowd and then the man warranted to kill me.
With strong deep voice I say to them:
‘Innocent I was and am and innocent I always will be’

'Abortion is Health Care'

My eyes are blurred
my vision consorted
Rocks are thrown
Keeps breaking
My windows tears, I cry water drops
shed down my cheeks
I stand in the rivers in the bottom of my feet
To my thighs I am wet by the currents water rise
They throw stones yet I am covered
Tears flowing upward to the skies
I confess I'm not worthy yet I'm warranted grace
Blessed mercy Christ has rain down on me
I stand in the populace sacrifice my Liberty
They throw stones at me and break my windows
But yet I stand strong in Him my Father's crescendos
I am covered surrounded by Him
No more cloudy distorted vision
They throw stones yet I am covered
I see beyond the blinds I'm In open heaven
Though they throw rocks at me
I am covered by my Father Elohim
They throw stones yet I am covered
Hallelujah Amen

#Ohh...
this goes a bit further, deeper and it stays with you!
This: Light Of Emphasis...
MAGNETIC ESSENCE!
NOT ONLY A PERSON'S CONVEY...
BUT THEIR WAY! {DIAMOND INLAY}
NOT JUST A PERSON'S WORD, REFERRED...
BUT HOW THEY STIRRED!
(NEVER BLURRED}
NOT JUST HOW THEY MOVED & GROOVED...
BUT HOW THEY SOOTHED!
{SHED LIGHT TO IGNITE AN AWAKENING, PERHAPS IT WILL LEAD TO A BRIGHTER PARTAKENING...
ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHERE THERE IS NO NEED FOR {SELF} FORSAKENING...
IS THAT NOT ELEVATING!
*OH SO* LIFE* CHANGING* AND*
MOST* CAPTIVATING*!!!
DID IT OCCUR IN THE ELEVENTH HOUR?
DID YOU AFTERWARDS FEEL...EMPOWERED!
DO YOU NOW SOAR, LIKE NEVER BEFORE...{*****}
YOU'VE BEEN VISITED BY
MAJESTIC PRESENCE.
IT'S A VERY SPECIAL ESSENCE.
IT MAY SEE YOU IN A DREAM...
OR AN UNEXPECTED DAILY SCENE...
"IF YOU'RE *SPIRITUAL*...IT'S ROUTINE!~"
NOW THAT'S A WELCOMED INTERVENE;
SOMETHING MUST HAVE BEEN WARRANTED, WISHED OR WONDERED...
AND IT WAS *DEEMED*...{~}

In the warranted spectrum of option.
sitting on the brink has a tempting draw.
I broach the brink precipice with caution
In the warranted spectrum of option.
Every night for one hour, it grabs caption.
I can't dodge night toll of a sleepless thaw
In the warranted spectrum of option.
sitting on the brink has a tempting draw.

Even if the saints’ hearts are dull,
Eyes heavy and they are evidently fast asleep.
We are not warranted raising a false alarm,
Not for us telling the heirs of salvation,
to awake for they are in danger of the wrath to come.
that is past and gone.
Rather remind them that their salvation is nearer than,
when they believed,
Stirring them up to watchfulness,
activity by appropriate motives.
The whip is for the slave,
not for the child.
The dread of punishment for the condemned,
not the justified.
The fear of wrath is not for those,
who are "accepted in the Beloved,"
But to those that reject the Savior,
are put a far from them the eternal mercy of God.
Endeavor to speak frankly,
and faithfully to the Lord’s people.
Try to avoid anything like a legal tone.
Gladly talk to God’s children,
as their Father in heaven,
would have them talked to,
Somewhat sharply, perhaps,
but still without a trace of the threatening,
that belongs to the ungodly,
but not to those who are saved in the Lord.
Selah!

I don't know how to express this,
It's only my point of view.
I may be mistaken
I have made more than a few.
I may lack education,
Although I have always worked.
I have no hesitation,
Unemployment is for jerks.
If you are genuinely needy
Or disabled in any way
It is not that you are greedy,
You require money so you can pay,
For the necessities of life,
To keep a roof over your head.
Financial help is warranted,
When you are unable to get out of bed,
To look for employment.
That you wish that you could do,
Lazing in bed all-day
It cannot benefit you
It would play on your mind
As we all need to work
Unless you are the kind
That does not feel the need
For work, YOU JERK!
Jerk is an appropriate name,
You're all the same,
Why should you work?
When you know all the perks
And the handouts you'll receive
While you have a ball
Doing nothing at all
But deceive.
Help is needed everywhere,
Everyone able should work
Many suffer lives of despair
Please stop behaving like a JERK.

Appeasements have the fragrance of folly to the wise.
From the lips of the unwise, the tongue knows no boundary.
When warranted expectancies vanish, the unexpected will rise.
Insincerity of heart, though flowered in roses, is the cousin of flattery.
To the pure in heart and mind, plots of bedevilment are difficult to disguise.
Good seeds beget good fruit; results from ill-gotten gains give birth to misery.

I loved him once
And yet he was not enough
About his touch
Even at just a brush
Just spontaneous
And how can this be
That he thought he was meant for me
When warranted that us would be abandoned
He lost my trust for my love he lost

Similar to Noah's, and in an analogous way,
That was the catalyst for the rise of the rainbow.
After the flood, Noah has warranted the decay,
This pledge will be obvious on the display.
Each dream we extol deserves deeming.
Depict a slew of rainbows into your living.
Our chimeras will bedim if we don't believe.
Each one reiterated faith and perspective.
We will be unparted from our everlasting love.
And the congruence warrant will not once shove.
God granted us a rainbow that glittered in the sky.
So that he could corroborate his powerful allay.
In the midst of the most hallowed light.
Though doubt frequently gives way to sight.
And consider living by faith rather than trust
That's what keeps you going and it is a must.
Sobbing may continue throughout the night.
As of yet, delight will return shortly after that.
In all its splendor in the early morning light.
There'd be no affliction if the stain had not spat.

It was their own way of shedding blood:
Their backs turning to a surging flood,
Until it warranted the Ark of Noah
Or left survivors a preventable fewer …
To rain-boots sticking, publishing no fear,
Until the waters were to bellies near
And Dear Erosion here and there,
Preoccupied with the unfair…
Stacked-high dumps emptying into water
Against disposal challenges getting hotter;
The Government alerting at the final moment,
When it should be shameful to make a comment.
It had been their way of spilling blood,
Not a half reply to a still controllable flood.

The crucial moment passed
Like the evening shadows gone;
While trying to remember well
The nights can’t erase days foregone.
I shelf my thoughts aside
And depend on positive rest;
Guilt shall not undress my heart
Though I’m scared and stressed.
Remorse was my crucial moment
Which warranted me all my fears;
And while I’m safely safe when asleep
The goodness of the pass clears.
All emotions known faced facts and guilt
Leaving a residue of doubts which I’ve built.
DOWN THE GHETTO
walking a street in the ghetto
rubbish can be seen everywhere
as two stray dogs mating

duly warranted yet unwavering
unworthy unmerited
I am able to be yet saved
by the grace of an ALL MIGHTY

Bring them home
war's over conflict
incoming now back home
ignored soldier man
part of government plan
why are we the solo host for every war and conflict
Tote that bar lift that bale
If we don't go and fight we'll be in jail
we must elude evict everyone
drop your them there guns
war no longer bout liberalities and freedoms
It's about dictator oppressions and the rest of the wealthy greedy
getting rid of oppressions okay you fools
thought you knew
the devil's teaching us a lesson
send warranted parts sum money
is the root of all evils you dummies
bang shot them back
just relax
all their wealth gold and oil Is now ours
