A very wise man said an eye for an eye
leaves the whole world blind.
  Would that be a bad thing all together? I ask.

A world without sight would close our differences.
and draw commonality. A universal tribality. The blind would be
required to lead the blind.

Imagine all of us reaching out to hold hands in a common cause.
All for one and one for all. Hold onto your brother so he does not fall.

Judge me not by the skin I am in.
Touch my face and feel my spirit.

Hear my voice with your heart not
you fear.

Lets try this...

An eye for an eye, for an eye, for a  year.

Peace.
I would not take this to its logical conclusion.

So is my beloved

It seems to me that
the whole love thy neighbor thing's
gone out the window

I feel like God is testing me these days
Filling up my metaphorical plate
Way more than I would normally get at a buffet
I really want to pass this test
But its so hard
When I can feel my pretend smile drooping constantly
While people act concerned and say "what's wrong?"
And I can't tell them
Because I don't even know myself

If I should ever lose my sight
No longer seeing through these eyes
I still will gaze upon the prize
For my eyes they've seen the truth

If words no longer fill my mouth
If what I had to say did not come out
There would never be a doubt
I would continually sing my praise to you

If both my legs they were cut off
I would still be standing for the cause
Continuing in my faithful walk
Each day in you I stand anew

I know I'll never lose my heart
For it loves and knows How Great Thou art
To the very end from the very start
Jesus, I will always be in love with you
Birth is by two ways:
labour and lancet.
Nope,--three.

You can't hurry God.
His timing is perfect.
Ours biased.

I have been off site praying.
I have been asked to
resumea very special
and important ministry.
It would mean that I could no
longer be on site here.
It must be in God's will and timing.
Please. If you are a believer in prayer
join me in petition that I make
the right, and timely, decision.

Thanks!

vengeance is the force
that will push you past your limits
teach you more
than you can understand
causing emotions that you
don't have the strength to overcome
I finally understand why it's necessary
to reap what you sow
because otherwise you won't comprehend
the impact of your actions
and the depth of the pain you inflict
that you insist on doing again and again
How could you ever know
the strength of my heart and legs
until you take that walk.....

Piercing hot water
Stabs my flesh
But no matter how
Hard I scrub
I can't get it of my
Chest
I tried bathing
In bleach
But it just burned
It in deeper
I tried bowing my
Head and ask
For forgiveness
But all I got was
Mumbled words in
A silent deliverance
I opened the
Darkness in the
Holes of my heart
Remembering the evil
In hopes I could
See it as painful art
But no matter how
Hard I try
I cannot purge
Myself of my oldest
Addiction
And I know it's time
To hand myself my own
Conviction

(Reverse Poem)
(Forward and Backward)

Formed by passion and sometimes bold
My poems they come from my soul
It is not my intention to offend
Just opinions and we all have them
I will delete words of hate
Choose your words and we can debate
Just message me and its okay
If you dont like what I say
Do not think your words can harm
I have been around way to long
No need to message and threaten me
I will not change to meet your needs
If you dont like just move on
These poems I write are mine alone
I have a right to feel this way
Though you may not like what I say
Formed by passion and sometimes bold
My poems they come from my soul
It is not my intention to offend
Just opinions and we all have them


(Now Read It Backwards)

**Carl Joseph Roberts
Another poet challenged me to write a reverse poem that can be read both frontward and backword. This is my attempt and it is harder then you may think.

Forgive and let go
You need it more than your foes
**It's a selfish goal!
When you forgive, you're doing yourself a favor ;-)
