You Will Not be Forsaken

You Will Not be Forsaken

Don't badda worry
for the people wicked
soon need mercy
but dem a go dead!

Trust God,
do good,
no matter where you trod
God will give you what you deserve.

Don't worry about the one
who do evil to succeed
don't get angry
the wicked soon depart

God know and see all
let them plot
they soon get caught
and cut down small, small.

Don't worry bout famine
don't worry bout strife
God will protect you
He will save your life!

But you see that one there?
Fire and damnation!
Like dust he shall blown away.

Be generous,
not crafty like the wicked
and the evil committed,
but make God hold you up.

The righteous shall never be forsaken
despite opposition they will never be taken
because the good always speak righteous
from start to finish he is pious.

So fret not thyself,
evil shall fall in on itself
but the man who do good
shall never be shook.

Who Told You?

WHo Told You?

Who told you
to accept things they way they are?
Who told you to conform?
Who tricked you
told you
that is the only way
to follow the crowd.
WHo told you
you should never suffer
that trials would not appear?
Who told you to turn away
from who you truly are
to follow what they say?
Who told you 
you were weak
that all your life you would expereince defeat?
Who told you lies
so that you belief
and the truth you cannot see?

Stop being deceived.

Unmerited Favor

Unmerited Favor

I thought... 
I had to give you my world - 
at least that's what I heard.
I thought I had to please you
just to get through 
or find an imaginary chink
in your armour
to get to the light.
But I did not move.
I could not move,
because I did not what to lose
the one and only chance I had
so I set to run
to grab onto your gown...

But before I heard the gun
I felt the breeze 
brush against my cheeks
and a voice that made it impossible to breathe
impossible to move:
Be still and know...

The Hikikomori Way

The Hikikomori Way

Is there nothing more
to being alive?

Than to work
and work and work.
Until all our life force
is used up
and then we return to the dust.

Will we die from the shame?

We are not better my friends
than the birds in the sky
at least they fly
before the most die.

there must be more 
to our lives -
I must know this.

But to find out -
the welcoming shadowy doubts - 
I must resist.


My One Confession

My One Confession

In this dark hour
when my life
pride would devour,
I know
I can do nothing
no matter what I own
no matter my great feats
I cannot heal
without my Sustainer.
I am industrious
smart
know all - 
But Father,
I can do nothing
be nothing,
except by your grace.

Accept

Accept

Accept you know
but do not know.

For when we don't know
good things will come.

When we look around the corner too soon
We may fall into a trap too deep.

There is no esculator up these mountains
only the wind to carry us.

Accept that you can't know
and good things will follow.

Letting Go

Letting Go

Why is so hard
to let go
of the worst of you?
Why do we cling to things
that mean us no good.
We battle the demons
that have no power
because we holder tighter
to things that would devour
the progress we made.
Why is it so easy
to make ourselves small
to crawl when we could run
to bow
when we could stand tall
unmovable
unbreakable
unstoppable.
