The Capitol

The greatest way to reclaim a nation, is the relentless attack of peace.

It's Lonely Out Here
Caleb John Oct 2020
I'm in crowd

And all I hear is loud

I feel more alone when I'm with others

Than when I'm by myself under the covers

I know that I'm never truly alone

The one I loved turned into Al Capone

I'm waiting for the one

I'm tired of being full of solitary bones

A Past
Caleb John Oct 2020
I used to write like I was running out of time

Some days my soul feels so poor it doesn't have a dime

I'm still pouring poison into my soul

My mind used to be as sharp maybe it's grown dull

I still pursue my God

He guides my life and where I trod

But lately I keep struggling trying to put him there

At the top of this barren fair

He invested so much in me

Was it all a waste?

I feel like a patriot in Boston dumping that tea

It wasn't in me, his faith was placed

I know his faith is in himself shining through me

If my future is blown from my past

He is not to blame

Existence
Caleb John Sep 2020
You spoke the stars into being

Your glory is something I must never stop seeing

The scientists debate your existence

Now it seems that I am one of the resistance
Hey guys! You all loved Whispers of Stars, I thought this poem might help elaborate!

The Life of a Teacher
Caleb John Jul 2020
So much knowledge to find

So little time to learn

So many people to teach

So little time to reach

Complacent
Caleb John May 2020
Is this you?

Focused on your own life?

Your enjoyment?

Your entertainment?

There's children in South America being hunted on the streets for sport

There's shootings across the globe

There are women contemplating killing their child because they aren't able to take care of them

There are mothers raising their kids alone, no one to defend them

No husband or father to fight for them

Slavery is still alive

Who will stand for what's right? Who will fight for the defenseless?

Is it you?

Or are you too busy thinking about what you are going to eat for lunch or where you are going on vacation?

Is there any man willing to dump the poisonous images and stop thinking of their own pleasure for the sake of others?

Are you complacent?

Dissapointment
Caleb John Apr 2020
That's what I thought I was

Now that memory is full fuzz

I thought I was unworthy

I never thought I could be made worthy

I underestimated your power

When I looked at myself all I tasted was sour

But you only see me with pride

Who are you Lord?

Your love is stronger then the tide

Your embrace is greater then my fleshly chase

I thought I had to earn your love

Little did I know that it flies like a dove

Father there are no excuses

I know that I have caused you pain

But you don't see me as someone who deserves to be victim of abuses

It was all in vain

Father you are a perfect father

Championship
Caleb John Apr 2020
A couple thousand skirmishes

Till the last finish

Satan thought he had him

Turns out he got torn limb from limb

The Christ overcame

Yet so many are quick to pass the blame

What a stupid game

The God incarnate came to save us

When we were just putting up a fuss

Canticum de Romanicus
Caleb John Apr 2020
Him:

I long to lay eyes upon you

But I must pursue

This creature will be the victor

I fear that if I forsake the chander

What will occur shall be sinister

I promise you I shall come home

As soon as I end this forever roam

I shall return to see our child

This hunt is running wild

Your eyes are what keeps me alive

I can nothing do but strive

I remember your smile

T'will push the weakest through any trial

I am not strong

But I cannot allow our family to be victim to this wrong

I shall come home

My love


Her Response:

When shall you return?

I can no longer discern

You say you are not weak

But never have I seen someone with such seek

Do not allow the creatures trail

To allow our love er fail

I miss the kindness in your eyes

I would choose to see them o'er the choicest dyes

Our son needs a Father

He only knows a saunter

Soon he will be a man

He needs an anchor in the sand

I need you

I know not how to continue

Your leadership did give comfort

I am yet unstable

Your embrace is what I miss

I still remember our final kiss

My dear husband

Use your blade for thy return

To our dearest Angle-Land

The Pen
Caleb John Apr 2020
The pen is greater then the sword

Too many only use it when they're board

Yet the sword has a place but the pen sets the pace

Don't have Time
Caleb John Mar 2020
I don't got time for these poisonous thoughts

I'm not gonna sit here looking at all I could've bought

There's lives on the line

I don't have time to smell the pines

Why do I keep wasting my time  on everything that I know is evil

You see my mind, you know just what you could reveal

The darkness tries so hard to conceal

I'm so sick of this sinful meal

Oh God, please change this heart

My sin is just ripping it apart

Tree of Glory
Caleb John Mar 2020
A symbol of hope

But there's no rope

How are you gonna climb this tree

It would be so easy to run and let it be

But then the impossible becomes possible

The strength of you makes the possible unstoppable

Even when the tree has been climbed

The glory is not mine

It is thine.

Almighty God

V-Day
Caleb John Feb 2020
A time for love a time

A time for sorrow

A time for forgiveness

A time for joy

Some times it's hard

Bullets in your back don't heal like jack

We can still choose to love

Not just the one who shares your heart

Friends

Family

Brothers

Sisters

They are all part of your love

The lonely pillar
Caleb John Feb 2020
Standing strong

Standing alone

Some walk by it and marvel

Some look at it's cracks and point out it's rips and flaws

But none the less it stands

To uphold what is true

What is right

Too many think about the strength of the lone pillar

Few aspire to it's strength
Feb 2020 · 85
To Do What's Right
Caleb John Feb 2020
It's always a fight

To keep it in sight

Some think it's like flying a kite

But really it's costs a lot of sleepless nights

I bet you never thought you'd suffer a bite

Or get snuffed out like a light

For simply trying to do what's right

Tolerance
Caleb John Jan 2020
The new generation proposes destruction

Since when has one generation, in all of human history, changed the definition of right and wrong?

The God who built this world wrote what is write and wrong

He also gave warning to these acts that we play into a song

My generation makes purity just want to curl

The Lord of might will not bless a mockery of his creation that gives me the inclination to hurl

His grace abounds to redeem and change a heart that seeks him and his precepts as a jewel

Not those who care nothing of the almighty and only seem to chase what's cool

All I can say is that it is only a loving God that could save such fools as us.

But give ear to what I am saying, you are priceless

The devil can take that which is priceless and convince them that they are worthless

The hand of God will not be stayed from an unrepentant people for much longer
Dear fellow Christians, Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. For those who say their is no God, the one you hate loves you more then you can imagine, but if you do not bend your knee to his will, you will not be spared from his wrath. Call out to him, he will answer.

The Deadly Generation
Caleb John Jan 2020
Forgotten the words of old

Burned the prophecies of wisdom

To the wind, the values of perfection are thrown

One generation of an insignificant planet cannot change the laws of reality

An arrogant race cannot classify the existence of God

We cannot define right and wrong

We are merely servants

To a mighty king

Who contains the unstoppable might of love

Love that is greater then the strength of man

Yet holier then all things

Posterity
Caleb John Nov 2019
What will they see in this generation?

Will they see a generation of dreamers and achievers?

Or will they see a hoard of monsters who only served their own desires?

Will they see us as a generation who cared for life?

Or will they see us as a generation of people who murdered little children because they weren't convenient.

Who will they see?

Let Me be Different
Caleb John Nov 2019
I'm trying to be here

So many times my spirit and body are at war

But God gave me the strength to be different

Some days I wish he would just burn away this body and replace me

So many tell me

The Bible's old fashioned

Out of date

Narrow Minded

What fools we are

We must be different

I don't want to be like my generation
Nov 2019 · 122
Poison
Caleb John Nov 2019
Humanity is just ******* on time

It's a poison to the soul

We just keep trying to make every moment last

Like we control time

I'm tired of ******* in this poison of sin

I'm tired of thinking that I am perfect

I just wish we could just wash out the poison

Kanye
Caleb John Oct 2019
If his conversion is real

Then God might use him to rock the American feel

If he's another wolf in sheep's clothing

He's solidified complacency

Let us pray for him and his family

I pray that God would rock his world

Broken Glass
Caleb John Oct 2019
This worlds just broken

Trying to cover it with cash

We try to think we're good people

but even the best of us

Are just cracked throughout our shatter points

I've always been a desecration to my God

But his forgiveness has always been greater than my sin

His strength can mend your cracks

He's mending mine

He will mend them if you seek him

If you cling to him
Oct 2019 · 106
The Passion
Caleb John Oct 2019
I pray that you will love the Lord your God

With all your heart soul and mind

Love him.

He loves you
Oct 2019 · 159
Like a Wild Fire
Caleb John Oct 2019
Set their hearts ablaze

Show them the love they could never see on their own

I don't know what you did to my soul

But I want to see more of your face

So burn through souls like a wildfire

Your spirit is fast and furious

So keep burning
Oct 2019 · 107
Being of Design
Caleb John Oct 2019
We weren't designed for these glass halls

And plaster walls

We weren't designed for elegant *****

Or sensual cat calls

We were designed to climb the highest mountains

We were bred to dive into the deepest oceans

We were designed to protect the weak

We were designed to fight

All this false talk of coexistence is impossible

All this thinking that we can sit down and simply love each other is fiction

Until the King returns

We are here in this world that just continues to churn

Some just want to watch it burn

God called his people to stand for the weak

Not sit there and think about how this world's so bleak

We were designed for strength

I'm sick of a weak society that says we are bound to our nature

I've spent so much time watching Christ rip my nature apart to believe that

I am no slave to my nature

I am a slave to my design

The Crazy Life
Caleb John Oct 2019
I thought me and this Girl could make it work

Guess God had different plans

Got stabbed in the back

Friends are leaving right and left

One's that I love are falling into the devil's lies

Stress is flooding my lungs

But Christ never left me

My father always protected me

He was always faithful

All through the crazy life

All through the days I might meet my wife

Let's see what happens

Cause I'm ready to run through life

To the end of the line
Oct 2019 · 132
Brand New
Caleb John Oct 2019
If anyone is in Christ

He is a new creation


They are restored and cleansed

And they have access to new strength

Sin is strong

But greater is he living in me

Then he is living in me then he who is in the world
Sep 2019 · 231
Peaceful
Caleb John Sep 2019
There's rest

When every ounce of my strength doesn't come from me

It's peaceful in these storms

I'm not anxious anymore

I just want to seek your face

I just want to know you

I want to see you

I love this peace you give

Thank you

The Fight For What's Right
Caleb John Sep 2019
I may stand alone

I may die and no one will ever know the sacrifice I gave

But my Father, who is with me

Will know

That I gave it all

To love him with all of my heart

And to fight for what's right
Sep 2019 · 102
Mr. Nice Guy
Caleb John Sep 2019
How can you defend your wife if all it takes is a push to knock you out of the picture?

How can you can you show your children to walk in the ways of God if you don't show them your strength and love?

How can boys become men if they don't learn to run up the highest mountains and dive into the deepest oceans?

Show your wife you will fight for her with the strength of a lion

Show your children that they were made for more then this

Show them Gentleness and wisdom

Show them patience and grace

Yet be courageous when the need be

No more Mr. Nice Guy

Waste of Youth
Caleb John Sep 2019
Just chasing highs

Spending time until the clock ticks by

We just keep chasing pleasures and treasures

None of it matters

When will America stop wasting their youth on drugs and ***

When will we learn to study the words of wisdom

To remember the precepts of old

Of honor

Respect

Strength

Passion

Yet lawful

Selfless

Protective

Productive

An end to this useless taste
Sep 2019 · 149
The Sword

Poems
Caleb John Sep 2019
Poetry all over the screens

So much sadness

Where is the hope?

Through all the bottles and feelings

Depression, addiction and where do we look for hope?

This life isn't enough for anyone

So why do we keep seeking hope in our addictions?

We're just a society of insanity

So when will it all stop?

When will we see our mindlessness?

Maybe we're just too busy writing poems

The Mentality of a Man
Caleb John Sep 2019
Is this what's best for her?

Am I giving her what she needs?

How can I encourage her?

How can I love her selflessly?

Am I praying for her as I ought?

Am I standing for her as I ought?

Am I leading her as I ought?



A Real Man doesn't collect women around their finger

A Real Man gives selflessly and stands with the strength that he is given
Aug 2019 · 308
The Mentality of a Boy
Caleb John Aug 2019
Get to know her

Get into a relationship

Get into her pants cause her curves fit my qualifications

When I'm done with her I'll just leave her with the kid

And then I'll just start on the next girl that's a push over



Don't fall for a boy

Let yourself be caught by a Man

Let yourself be defined by God

The Future Unkown
Caleb John Aug 2019
Who knows what the future holds

I thought It was going to work out

But I don't know who we are

Sometimes your somebody different and you don't even know it

I don't know where my heart is

That terrifies me because it can only mean more lies and deceptions to come for my head

I don't know who I am when I go to bed tonight

I'm just learning to lean on his might

I can't fulfill her needs, guess I gotta back off for a while

I'm running this race for God

No one else

She's running for his glory

She's learning to succeed

I'm just going to keep running

I know some doors I'm running through

Others seem to open and shut

Let's see where this goes

I'll just dive into the great unkown
Aug 2019 · 124
I Don't Know Anymore
Caleb John Aug 2019
I don't know where I'm at

I just keep floating through life

Had some plans that changed

I don't know where to go from here

I've never walked out on this ocean before

I just don't know anymore
Aug 2019 · 113
Colors
Caleb John Aug 2019
Different shades

All beautiful.

Men and Women

Differences in fashion

Differences in social behavior

Different treatment of each one

All different

All beautiful.

If we take masculinity and femininity and tell our society that those differences are ugly, it's like blending every color into the same shade.

There will be no beauty

There will be no value.

Missing Something
Caleb John Aug 2019
It doesn't take long

When I look around everything all looks wrong

The deeper into the dirt so many of us crawl in the farther we think we can escape the light

But I tell you that we must walk in the light so that the world can change

This world is missing the greatest miracle that ever happened

It's salvation

Why run from the beauty of salvation

To a bunch of fake mirages that look like pleasure

I have an assured promise in Jesus

Heaven

I need no other argument

I need no other plea

It is enough that Jesus died

And that he died for me

Walking on Water
Caleb John Jul 2019
My feet are so unsteady

Waves crash all around me

Tidal waves cause me too stumble

I see the storm that's coming

I scream and begin to sink

Then I fix my eyes on my salvation

Then I begin to stand again

There's More 2.0
Caleb John Jul 2019
There's more to life than your crush

Or that fancy car

Or the internet

Or school

Or your dream job

Those things are good in context

But that's not all there is to life

There are galaxies more to life
Caleb John Jul 2019
You just got crushed again

You gave in to the false lies

You ran to the mirage for water

Instead of the pure river

You let yourself get trampled by the devil

Many look up to you for leadership

Many believe you to be some kind of saint

Maybe they just don't want to believe what color you've been painted

Are you going to let the devil to continue to play with your mind till there's nothing left for him to capture?

You were just pushed to the ground

Are you just gonna lie there and let him kick you and beat you down?

Get up

Get up and fight like you're going to lose everything?

Can't you see the devil's eyes?

Do you see what he's doing to you?

Do you see what he'll take if you continue to let him beat you like an abused puppy?

Stand up and call upon Christ

Show that devil where he stands

Get up and fight!!!!!!

Search
Caleb John Jul 2019
I'm so tired of the search

I wish some days I would just stand still like a solid birch

I hate trying to find joy in worthlessness

I keep looking around what stands right in front of me

I'm always searching in all the wrong places

Today I'm going to search for my peace, joy and rest, not in trivial things

Not in the sand

But in the ocean of wonder

There's More

When you see someone

Do you see them for who they are

Or do you see their skin tone?

Do you see their figure?

Do you see their muscle mass?

Do you see their body or them?

Restrain the Ocean

I would rather restrain the ocean with these two hands

Than restrain these emotions that flood my mind

The ocean would prove to be less deadly
