First time theatrical performance
I didn’t know what to expect
Wondering how the audience would react
Under the spotlight, I seemed to sweat
Nervousness running through my body
Will I remember my script lines
Don’t let nerves enter the mind
I must do my best
Think on it like passing a test
As I began to perform, my nerves had turned into confidence
Enriched energy full of endurance
I visualized my name on the marquee
A star to be and become
I followed the script without fail
I was definitely fit for the part
This is just a start
Remembering encouragement from family and friends
When the finale came
The curtain came down and back up
Loud audience applause
Took a bow
Even got a standing ovation
Audience approved
I am now more than ever enthused
Theatrical agenda, I am ready to further explore.

Confronted eye to eye
Deep in the jungle
A Bite
Predator venom attack
Accelerating poison
Effect thereafter
Slowly shortness of breath
The thought how much time left
Body rhythms started to erupt
Suddenly black out
King Cobra took charge
Control and Large
Death was slowly sinking in
Medical Staff response arrived
Luckily in time
The venom was quickly extracted
Victim survived the ordeal
Could have been worse
The venom could have been with no reverse
Curse of the King Cobra
Caution alert
Beware

Once a free happy man enjoying the outdoors
Surrounded now by jail bars that don’t bend
Inmate correction to society
A life that totally went apart, and have no name but a number
A place an inmate lives and slumbers
Among the multitudes of other inmates
A Heaven’s sake
No money nor a dime
This is what you get when you commit a crime
Behind the jail cell an inmate could lose their mind
No windows showing a view
Jail time to pursue
No family wants to be bothered in contact
No fact as it is just like that
Prison is no place one should be
Take it from an inmate
No luxury to see
Attitudes high
Fights often break out
An inmate must watch their back as they move about
No decent food to eat
No changing of clothes only what the jail provides
Correction Officers look the other way in being estray
Inmate voice
Having no choice.

Front and Center
Needing your guidance
Wanting your wisdom and understanding
I Stand
I Bow
I pray
The uncertainty I feel
A tomorrow I don’t
Today being a question
Needing your direction
I am a servant from a spiritual family
Society speaks of another king
But I know you are the true and sustaining Savior
Foundation strong
I am in your hands where I belong

I am often criticized
I stand as a Christian Warrior Soldier
Faith focused
Praying for all mankind
You are the Savior always honest and genuine
Merciful and kind
There are times of doubt
That needs to be worked out
Open my understanding
Let the spiritual virtues cut through all the struggles
Firm and solid
Turn my enemies into my foot stool
I am no fool
I stand in need of
Lift me up Lord
Your divine accord
Thank you Lord

I look at the wall
I see nothing
I hear whispers
Yet there is silence
My Faith grows weak
Belief I don’t seek
Wondering if God even cares
Is it worth to pray?
Waiting and waiting with no change
If, when and how are not communicating
Tears pour
The heart turns sour
Beyond seems still
No movement to fulfill
Weary goes on and on
But for how long?
Stubbornness comes on
My look up is locked out
Weary Weary and still Weary
Now I worry
When will I overcome?

Inspiration above all
Words expressed with an echoing call
