Uvalde

  My tears fall uncontrollably
My heart is splitting in two
The news of this tragedy
Feels like D”e ja”vu  

As still I have not forgotten Columbine
How could this happen again
All of our progress and advance
Will this be the legacy of man

The normal arguments will arise
Gun control and the amendment rights
But Evil doesn’t yield to any laws
And it delights in our arguments and fights

Yes this horrible event was Evil
But there was Evil to him that pre-seeded
And his head was in a different state
His mental rationality was long defeated

You can make all the laws you want
But the laws will always fail
And until we teach our children love
Stories like this we’ll always tell

God must be allowed back into the
Schools and our heart
We must begin a new narrative
We must find a way to make a new start

So as we morn the for those lost
And Heaven receives 21 new Angels
We need to devise a battle plan
And carefully cover all the angles

In the meantime we must immediately
Allow armed soldiers to protect and serve
This will bring comfort and peace and
It’s what our children deserve

As I bring this poem to a close
And my tears continue to flow
Please join me in prayer and pray
This horror future children never know

Take some time, this I ask from
Just not one person but from everybody
Find a way some how to send your love
To all of the people of Uvalde

The Quest From The Inside

   Surrounded by darkness and
Infested with demons deep within
Praying for survival of my soul
Lost in my direction where do I begin

Brainwashed with worthlessness
Left with a heart that turned to stone
In humanity a lost trust and at an early
Age forced to survive on my own

Constantly struggling with the echoes
From my past consumed with self doubt
I feared my life would be lived in my
Eternal hell with no way out

But unrealized at the time, there were
Angels assigned to watch over me
And only later in my life was it revealed
My eyes were opened so that I could see

I realized nothing was random or by chance
Yet indeed life was from creation
And I knew that I had to release my Pride
And all of my reasons for my vexation

Finding faith from the unknown
And unseen unto myself I died
Born again,sins washed away
Thus began the quest from the inside

Faith

   I don’t know if it’s getting older
Something that comes with age
Or if life is like reading a book
And I’ve just turned the page

Maybe it comes with experience’s
Maybe it comes from hearing all the lies
Or just being able to recall the past Angels
And seeing demons with my open eyes

I can see the the Devil at work
With the endless tricks up his sleeve
I can see Jesus and his everyday miracles
And still  there’s people that don’t believe

Feel your heartbeat
Ask yourself how and why
Your life is a miracle with every
Smile and every tear you cry

Everyday we venture out into the
World we encounter worldly scathe
The only way I survive the trials and
And the Devils temptation is by Faith

Change

   Like a clock on the wall changes time
Like a caterpillar changes to a butterfly
Like night turns to day, everything
Changes, sometimes in the blink of an eye

Everything used to be cut and dry
Boy or girl and right or wrong
But now it’s all so confusing
Like trying to learn to play Mahjong

I’m not here to judge or condemn
That is for the fool
It’s just that I’m of a different time
And all I know is old school

In my mind a woman is a woman
And she dresses appropriately
And a man is a man and when they
Are together the difference is plain to see

So forgive me me if I smirk
And if I find it odd and strange
I’m not trying to be mean and cruel
It’s just difficult to accept the change

The Thieves That Steal Your Happiness

    You can be happy
I know that it’s true
And I know being happy
Is better than being blue

Sometimes life can be bad to you or
There’s darkness from your past
These are moments that come and go
No need to make them last

Find a reason to smile
And never look back
Always get back up after being knocked
Down from a surprise attack

When bad things happen you
Gotta find a way to let it go
You can take it from me
I tell you it’s something that I know

Bad things can become a darkness
They can destroy you with their craftiness
Don’t let this or your past become the
Thieves that steal your happiness

Time Has Come Again

    It was many years ago
In a forgotten time and place
But now there’s an echo of what was
And it’s something we must face

Frightening as it may be
What is written shall be done
The world has chosen its path
The web has been spun

The ancient words were written
The story has been told
The sacrifice was made but still
Our love is for gold

So here we are today
Our lesson we’ve yet to learn
We’ve dismissed it as a fairytale
All the while Hell’s fire continues to burn

God is speaking loudly and still ignored
He will reclaim his domain
He said he will return and soon we’ll
Know time has come again

Looking For Bigfoot In All The Wrong Places

   I’ve looked under the bed
And I’ve looked in the closet too
I’ve searched in the man cave
And even in the Loo

I’ve checked the state house
And I’ve looked at the town hall
I’ve been to the bowling alley
And even the food court at the Mall

But there’s no signs of him anywhere
He’s an illusive creature to say the least
And I’m not really sure that I’m
Prepared to meet such a big hairy beast

But people swear they’ve seen him
Someone said he was down by the Lake
But when the witness was questioned
It turns out he was drunk and his story a fake

I’ll keep searching for him among
The strange and familiar faces
But I’m beginning to think that I’m
Looking for Bigfoot in all the wrong places
