But until, O Lord, until you bid me joy
And allow one world we all can enjoy,
Love to savor and love for all to share
with those who have woe alone to bear,
Happiness covering each sorrowful face
In this one thing I but blame your grace,
None but me alone shall bear this rancor
and pin the blame on thee with anger…
For I’ve looked for love in every stranger
And no, never did I find me an answer.
Why so few among us live in peace
Their problems with years increase,
Weary of life’s never-ending struggle
Finding no reprieve in a world of trouble,
So how, alas! How then may that be?
It’s dark and you have forsaken me.
Lord, in this one thing you can be sure
My devotion to you will mostly endure,
But when clouds of doubt ever engulf me
Hope’s the prayer that should set me free.

I'm in a world of trouble cause I left my husband in a bubble and I left him there all day.
There's no use for dialogue cause his mind is in a fog and he doesn't hear a single thing I say.
If I try to burst his bubble, he'll be left in piles of rubble, so in his bubble he must stay..As when he's in this state, nothing else can penetrate, so I guess I'll watch his bubble float away..
Sinking in a sea of Me
I gurgle, choke and bubble
down I go into my depths
into a world of trouble
Immersed in self, I cannot breathe
I'm suffocated so
I writhe and turn uncomfortably
with nowhere else to go
The stifling space inside my brain
gets smaller all the while
until I find a rope to grasp
within another's smile
Once heaved and pulled up, out again
I finally I catch my breath
saved from Myself, a fate I fear
was something worse than death!
The past is has taught us many things from the time
We are born until the day we die.
We're born into a world of trouble and woes
Joy and sadness and problems to.
When it's over there's not much you can do.
The present is what you make it from day to day.
You can choose to be happy or sad.
You can be kind or rude or thankful or not.
But rememebr, this day you are living
in is all you got.
The Future is yet to be for you and me.
And all our families.
So choose wisely everyday of what you will do
What you will say .
Each day is what you make it for yourself.
Just don't worry about any one else.
Be thankful for all that you have.
For each day is precious so be thankful to our
God in heaven and Jesus His son.
For everyday Has been given to us under the sun.
Jesus In The Pizza
Clearly we see Jesus in the old pizza crust
His image carved neatly in wall cracks
Concrete thoughts for concrete steps
Sidewalk images reflect his purity
I could swear I saw Him squinting at me
From a grapefruit I squeezed this morning
My eyes were so sore I cried
Was it by accident that juice hurts
Cracks in the mind still need filling
Concrete mix for concrete thoughts
These are not UFO sightings
Everyone knows God
Sometimes Mary is there in the potato chips
In clouds and even nature
Back to the pizza back to the womb
I'm still hungry to tell the truth
There is always room for food
Food for thought and pizza images
*Authors note: No disrespect for God. I'm sure He has a sense of humor. If not, I am in a world of trouble. There will be no waiting in line, hiding behind cracks in the wall or inside a pizza at the end of time.
D-ip your toe in the water,
I-n a venture into the unknown;
A-im to do your best,
N-ever fear when you're alone.
N-ow dip your toe in the water of living in the world of trouble;
E-xert all your efforts in order to be successful.
C-ome dip your toe in the water,
L-ife's uncertain neath the sky;
E-ndure either fret or woe,
O-n the twenty-seventh of July.
F-ill your heart with hope, in the middle of bleak weather,
E-ither rain or beacon, dip your toe in the water.
We are just one speck,
isolated in a world of trouble
Always does occur some shipwreck!
Pull back the mind from the shining bubble.
Shall we halt to question our existence?
Soon will collapse the forgotten tower,
Then will rot the wooden fence,
Why believe in mortal power?
Why face such deadly battles?
Success never grasps hold of time,
Earth with a sudden jerk, rattles!
Soon is heard the religious chime.
Compassion, happiness, never questioned.
For those are the joyful risks,
Seems to make Insignificance enlightened,
For memories play in ones mind like disks.
MMM’s Noose
Up and down he did pace
Staring blankly into space
Overwhelmed by a world of trouble
With his life now bent double
By his hands, the noose he did make
Should he by the same hands, his life take?
Or, should he with hope, look unto life
And live again, for his kids and wife?
Should he, this ‘shame of an educated fool’
End, by stepping up on that side stool,
Placing the noose around his neck,
And kicking the stool off to snap his neck?
They had come with a promise of wealth;
Glorified thieves that came in stealth
Robbing Peter, only to pay Paul
But, pay themselves most in the long haul
He invested his all and went a-borrowing
Lost it all, and now goes a-sorrowing
Having hoped to receive a triple
But ended up a financial cripple
He chose to live for this life is sweet
Even though, today he does lack meat
MMM has come and gone
Gone with the night, giving birth to his new dawn
In this world of trouble and woe
where do you turn for some aid?
heartaches on the right and your left
we need a strong anchor to not fade
I have found a real strong tower
His name is Jesus who’s able to save
whatever your concern He is truly able
to hold you steady and make you brave
You can trust completely on this saviour
for He kinows everything about you
since birth right up to your present day
His love is constant sticks to you like glue
This Jesus knows all your thoughts and actions
but His love is perfect forgiving all your sin
this Jesus is my loving saviour and Lord
His arms are always extended and open
So I know that I can trust my saviour
trust His promises are forever amen!
staying close by me each and every day
saving me for heavens glory wait till then!
In this world of trouble and strife
what is there to keep us on song?
to stop us from losing our grip
making sure we hold up real strong
This can only be found in God
the one eternal comfort so true
He knows us inside and out
so will provide our needs He will do
The mercy of God does come down
from the father of the heavenly light
who loves to shower His mercy
so to display His glory so bright
Our source of mercy and comfort
is that power for our living force
makes one find contentment in life
from the only true divine source
Bring thanksgiving and due praise
to the God creator of everything
who rules and reigns from above
so making our hearts to joyfully sing
('Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort' 2 Corinthians ch. 1 v. 3 (ESV))
I need to find you
I'm trapped in feelings of emptiness
I grapple them in the night
For your love I seek to find
Meet me between the skies
Let us in our dreams meet
Close the distance in the starlight
We have just one chance
I spent all my wishes on you
All I need is one glance
I think cupid gave up on us two
I've never seen a perfect pair
But in my dreams we have no trouble
I have enough love to share
We could watch the stars together as they tumble
If the world chose to end today
I wouldn't let you fall or stumble
We could find a new world to stay
I could keep you from this world of trouble
This world of trouble soon will pass
For there beyond the crystal glass
A lamb and lion tread the grass
Beside a lass, beside a lass
This cord of present time shall break
And hate and fear shall flee and quake
Oh, may all vice this earth forsake!
And love awake! And love awake!
Oh, see him walk 'neath mighty trees!
The king of beasts; what strength and ease!
Yet now content this lass to please
Her hand to tease, her hand to tease
Behold! A pleasant form and face!
The child of beauty crowned with grace!
Fair Una treads at even pace
A better place, a better place
~ The form is Monotetra~
~Based on the painting 'Una and the Lion' by Briton Riviere.
MIND THE MINES
listen,~
I have this like conundrum,
A choice
and probably a problem with either one or one million complaints
And curse the portrait this universe paints
With the blood of those in turbans atop
And no matter how loud I scream the world won’t stop
Cease
Surrender
nor accept and live with people who are willing to be tender
The world has always been a world of trouble for me
And if John Doe had problems his would be doubled by me
Perhaps it’s because I seem vulnerable enough to ache from whatever the universe throws in my direction
unable to make any correction
nor connection
And watch the hills to tumble as mountains turn to mud and clay……
Perhaps today

I’ve got the weight
Of the world of trouble
Doubling onto me
And taking over my conscience
I feel the trouble
And it hurts beyond
What I have in the world
It’s weighing on me
And the trouble is horrible
Completely surreal
Seemingly unreal
But very very true
Trouble is in my world
Russell Sivey
LANDING IN A ME AND YOU LAND
listen,~
I have this like conundrum,
A choice
and probably a problem with either one or one million complaints
And curse the portrait this universe paints
With the blood of those in turbans atop
And no matter how loud I scream the world won’t stop
Cease
Surrender
nor accept and live with people who are un-willing to let everyone be free
The world has always been a world of trouble for me
And if John Doe had problems they double for me
Perhaps it’s because I seem vulnerable enough to ache from whatever the universe throws in
my direction
unable to make any correction
nor connection
And watch the hills to tumble as mountains turn to mud and clay……
today
