Luke Easter Poem
Finally it’s time to go,
All day I’ve pushed peddles with my feet,
I’ll hurry to the bus stop,
Being sure to get a good seat.
There, a chance to rest,
Home, I’m on my way,
Only to get up tomorrow,
And put in another day.
Photos, questions and fingerprints,
Did I commit a crime?
I distinctly remembered when I boarded,
Dropping in my dime.
Why give up my seat?
After working hard all day,
I thought the fare was the same for all,
Is there more I have to pay?
Don’t they know how hard I’ve worked?
To get this seat I had to rush,
Now you’re going to tell me,
Move to the back of the bus.
Wait, I pay my taxes,
Even go to church and pray,
They do not have the right,
To treat Rosa Parks this way.
I never wanted to start a movement,
Just have a seat on the bus,
Being treated fairly as an American,
Why is everyone making such a fuss?
My name is known throughout the world,
In history books here and there,
It really didn’t have to be me you know,
Just anyone who paid their fare.
Almost 50 years later,
An Icon is my name,
I’d gladly do it all again,
Circumstances being the same,
Heaven is my final journey,
Can’t wait till I get there,
Knowing I’m going to enjoy the ride,
I’ve already paid my fare.

Luke Easter Poem
Right away you’ll look at this and say,
Which whether/weather did he mean today?
No doubt the storm comes into play,
So which one will he take away?
First of all a weather storm there will be,
It’s just not known of what intensity,
Whether or not you handle it correctly,
Will determine if there’s another 2 or 3.
Storms of trials and tribulations,
Is an integral part of life,
You’ll only grow in the Lord,
Going to Him seeking advice.
Don’t ask why me I didn’t do it?
That’s not what a weather storm is for,
It’s whether or not you handle it right,
That determines if God will give you more.
Now another question is sure to arise,
Another weather storm or a heavenly prize?
Pay attention class but not from your sight,
God will determine whether or not you’re right.
If that’s the case then how will I know?
Duh, because of the type of prize,
If it’s not what you’ve expected,
Then you’re not looking through God’s eyes.
OK, so how do I see the way He does?
Oh ye of little faith you can because,
The bible is about now not a book that was,
It shows you how to follow, obey and love.
There is always a path that’s just and right,
However, only when walking in God’s light.
I’m not talking about a copper top Duracell,
Cause one day not even that will work well,
There’s another one that’s not that steady,
One day Eveready will be never ready.
God never promised smooth sailing,
Only a safe landing site,
Whether or not you weather the storm,
That’s the difference between wrong and right.
If there is still confusion in you mind,
Remember that we do have a guide,
An excuse is what we don’t have,
Neglecting to read it every night.
Will you study a math book for a history exam?
Can you look in my eyes and tell what I am?
The person you are can only be ripped and torn,
Whether or not you weather the storm.

Luke Easter Poem
As thoughts travel from the mind to the heart,
And spoken words cause my lips to part,
Spewing forth praise, honor and glory as an art,
This is the way everyday needs to start.
Are you docile, are you humble, and are you meek?
It’s The Kingdom of Heaven first you must seek,
Before anything else will ever be done,
Genuinely pray to the FATHER through the SON.
Those who do not give GOD the glory,
In the almighty name of JESUS Christ,
They will not share in the promise,
For the gift of eternal life.
Holler, shout, jump, jive and wail,
The Kingdom of Heaven will soon prevail,
Don’t be caught standing in the wrong line,
Only the FATHER knows the exact date and time.
You will not conquer the strongman without a sneak attack,
Never being able to subdue him unless it’s behind his back,
On guard, be ready, for the second coming of CHRIST,
There will only be one time we don’t get to do it twice.
Although an unGODLY world our GODLY Conduct can still be right,
The only thing that matters is your name in The Book Of Life,
It’s up to you to choose forever where you’ll dwell,
A mansion in heaven or an apartment in hell.
Woe be to those who will experience the grief,
An eternity of weeping and gnashing of teeth,
Infinity in suffering with Satan and his kind,
Choosing to act on thoughts he shoots in your mind.
For 24 hours a day are here then they’re gone for good,
Don’t live tomorrow for yesterday thinking well, I should…
Eternity begins but never ends even with life on earth,
Live everyday through JESUS CHRIST knowing what you’re worth.
A seasoned grain of salt that’s pleasing to the taste,
Never allow a day to go by where you sit and waste,
The sun, the moon, the stars, whatever the weather may be,
FATHER in the name of JESUS thanks for all YOU’VE done for me.
I know that I could never send a child of mine,
To suffer the likes of JESUS for so many who are still unkind,
It’s not my place to tell YOU those who are doing dirty deeds,
For while I lived my sinful ways YOU still smiled down on me.
Never will there be enough pleasing words to say,
For there are still only 24 hours in each and everyday,
Days turn into months and months continue on for years,

Luke Easter Poem
Advertisements in the world are many,
Billions spent making us think plenty,
How did we ever survive before?
This product came knocking at our door.
Beg, borrow, buy, sell, rent, and/or lease,
You’ll never make it in the world without one of these,
As though there will never be another available piece,
I want it even if I have to lie, cheat, steal or fleece.
Even though the laws have outlawed it,
That’s why are our jails are over crowded,
I have to, I must, and I desperately need,
Is pushing God away from the inside of me.
C.E.O.’s campaign to get hired,
Only later to retire or be fired,
Which is first to rear its head and holler?
Of course the bottom line is the dollar.
The product may make you more sick than well,
But that doesn’t matter if it will sell,
The consumer is always the guinea pig,
Sometimes paying with an early grave to dig.
Yes, mansions, yachts and private jets,
Are some of the perks a C.E.O. will get,
While shoppers run amok in area malls,
Like horses for the meat wagon packed in stalls.
Hold on; just wait a minute, I can’t believe,
You bought that for them and this for me?
Stop! Jesus said, “it is better to give than receive”,
Take a long hard look at it, do you really need…?
Advertisements are polluting our minds with impure thoughts,
It’s not the gift but the fact that it was bought,
To swallow your pride this is all you have to do,
Put a smile on you face and just say “thank you”.
OK, OK, it’s time to get back to the matter at hand,
Honcho, Head Cheese, Big Boss of all the land,
We forget only One is in charge with all power and might,
A Chief Executive Officer named Jesus Christ.

Luke Easter Poem
What two days of the week,
Begin with the letter “T”?
If you said Tuesday & Thursday,
You’ve answered incorrectly.
Today and Tomorrow,
Is the answer that I seek,
Allow me to explain,
Why these are in the week.
Yesterday is gone,
It will never come again,
Dwell on past mistakes & confusion,
And soon this day will end.
GOD has already forgiven,
What we’ve done in the past,
When you keep looking back on yesterday,
You’re the one who makes it last.
Take only the best you’ve learned before,
Apply it to the good you’re doing today,
Now the building blocks are stronger,
When tomorrow comes your way.
Always add only the positive,
Let the negative things subtract,
The future will only proceed forward,
When you’re not wasting time looking back.
Yesterday’s mistakes are bought and paid for,
Count them as forever being lost,
That balance due was wiped clean,
When JESUS gave HIS life on the cross.
Live today whole-heartedly,
As though it was your last,
When the final tomorrow gets here,
You’ll not be ashamed of your past.
Don’t negatively pronounce or criticize,
That’s not what your supposed to do,
When Judgment Day finally gets here,
GOD will do the same for you.
Don’t be hasty with your answers,
Always think before you speak,
Live today through Christ JESUS,
Or tomorrow Satan will give your critique.
