Not My Time

I see people that can not be seen
I hear voices but don't know what they mean
Looking for the answers
Researching my dreams
The voices keep shouting
"We're inside your head" 
So much noise 
I'd be better off dead
Lifting up the revolver
A gentle squeeze of the trigger
BANG one shot
BANG Two shot
BANG,BANGThree shot four
Blank after Blank 
I can't take much more.

The Great I Am

I am the light in your sky
I am Galaxys far & wide
I am the air that you breath
I am the creatures , plants & trees
I am the fire that burns within
I am the things you hear, smell & see
without me you would not be
I am everything you can imagine & more
I am the future , the present & before
I am your heavenly father the one & only 
I am the great I Am & will be forever more

Outside Time and Space

Heat always flows from hot bodies to cold
If the universe were infinitely old
But the universe does not conform
Or it would be in uniform
It isn't therefore it is not 

The start of creation with an anthropic rule
Fine tuned nature & design overwhelming
An interaction of basic forces quite astounding

Incredible interdependencies delicately balanced
As we explore mathematically what we can
It seems the universe is uniquely designed  for man

So choose this day whom will you serve
The Evolutionary theory which is absurd
Or GOD The Almighty Creator

Ask yourself...
Evolutionary formula or intelligent design?
Do you believe it to be a chemical quagmire
Or a brilliant design from a power much higher?

On Reflection

I see you & you see me
I see your imperfections & you see mine
I feel your emotion & you feel mine
I touch your face & you touch mine
When I smile you smile too
When I frown you have to too
I close my right eye but you close the left
I close my left eye and you close the right
I brush my teeth with my right hand & you with the left
I swap to my left hand & you swap to the right
I'm bored of looking at you so I turn off the light
Now your gone & I see you no more
Walking away & closing the  door

Armageddon,, Just Another Day

Staring out the windows that are no more
Just another day, Just another war
Chard fields of fire & burning tree's
Just another war for freedom
They say that just to please

It's just another day, its just another war
Know thy enemy who's knocking at the door
Stripped of our right to live in a peaceful world
Fighting over oil or the right to be free
Kill my children, my wife & me
Save us from the burning
Set us free

It's just another day, just another war
An airstrike here, an airstrike there
Once flourishing fields, now burning and bare
The smell of death lingering 
Burning flesh , the singeing of hair

It's just another day, just another war
One bomb here & one bomb there
No discrimination, they just don't care
No one said war was easy, no one said it was fair

It's just another day & just another war
A war for freedom or power?
We don't know no more
One bomb, two bomb
Three bomb four
How many till mankind is no more
But hey, it just another day & just another war.
