This is not a poem.

Where Is God?

To those who may be wondering,
Where is God?
To those who believe,
You know the answer.
The notion and miss conception is
That if there’s a God,
Then why?
Why is there all of this Hell on Earth?
Why is there all of this pain and suffering?
Why?, Why?, Why?
The answer is—- This is Earth,
We were created to Love!!!
Love each other unconditionally!!!
Just like his love for us.
The battle between good and evil has been
Since the beginning of time.
We are given the freedom to choose,
It’s that simple!!!
We can choose to be good or evil.
God is not and will not just gonna save everyone from this world.
That’s not the deal.
The Deal——It’s very simple,
He says, choose me.
That’s it, in your heart choose me
And ask to be forgiven of your sins.
Choose me and I will save you, I will
save your soul from
An eternal life in Hell and give you an everlasting life in Heaven.
Die unto yourself and be reborn into a life
With me and when your days are over here in
This world you will join me in Heaven!!!
The signs are showing—It is written these are the end of days.
It’s been for awhile and there’s nothing written about how long the end of days
Will last.
We cannot turn it around.
All that we can do is make that choice.
The choice to be saved, the choice to receive the gift. We can choose to love and not to hate. We can choose forgiveness and to forgive.
That’s it people, it’s that simple!!!
Look, for those whom already know,
You have nothing to worry about.
I’m not here trying to force my beliefs onto anyone. I am just trying to be a messenger and present the news.
You can say it’s just a fairytale, a fantasy or a dream and that’s okay, I will never judge you or  condemn you because that’s not my job or my intent.
So you can say that I am wrong and I can tell you that you are wrong and that will be that.
I just know this one most important factor,
Disappointing, oh you bet ya, it would most definitely be if I die and find out that I am wrong.
But just think about that and think about how disappointed you will be if you find out that I am right.
I’d rather believe and be wrong
Then not believe and be wrong.
All I can do now is Love you and pray for you!!!
God Bless!!!

The Doctor Will Say

     I’m a man in my late fifties
My body has been abused
I wish I could have a new one or
At least from life be excused

I still need to work and so
Each day I must carry on
As each day arrives though I can
Feel the weakening of the pion

For I have been beaten by an abusive
Father and by bullies too
I’ve been injured playing sports
And to me pain is nothing new

Car totaling accidents you
Know I’ve been in a few
I’ve also had surgeries and here’s
something I need to share with you

I’m sensitive to the Anesthesia
So I die and they bring me back
I’ve always survived some how but I
Don’t wanna be a surgery crackerjack

Years ago I had a forklift accident and I
Injured my right shoulder but no surgery
I was much younger and tougher
But now that old injury is killing me

The pain is getting unbearable and I don’t
Take anything afraid to be a drug addict
But the pain and my brain are now in
A constant bitter conflict

Mind over matter is not an option
My shoulder is now in a rapid decay
Still though I hesitate to see the Doctor
Because I know what the Doctor will say

I wrote this back in 1993
The poem was about world problems
Headlines material.
It asked a question with its title and
It re occurred throughout the poem,
Where Do We Go From Here?
And now only 27 short years later I have written the answer poem titled Immune.
Here they are back to back.

Where Do We Go From Here

  When a man named King
Gets beat in the street and
the line between right and wrong
keeps getting thinner

When kids **** kids for the
Jackets that they wear
Because everyone wants
To feel like a winner

Where do we go from here
Have we all gone crazy
Is this how life is to be
Have our minds gotten
So hazy that we can't see

When a man in Waco says
He's Jesus,he promised
Heaven to those who would believe,those
who did lived and died In his hell

When inmates in Lucasville
Riot and take control,what
Evil do they possess that
Made them **** even from their cell

Where do we go from here
Have we all gone crazy
Is this how life is to be
Have our minds gotten so
Hazy that we can't see

When the world buys
what the media sells
and we'll never know
Just who to trust

When we still can't get
Past the color of another
Mans skin and everything
We touch turns to dust

Where do we go from here
Can anyone tell me
Where do we go from here ?

                       Immune

     The world is beating to the rhythm
Of a different drummer, out of tune
It has become comfortably numb
It has no doubtlessly become immune

To the missing children, to the killings
On the street at the hands of a goon
To the drug addicts and homeless
Yes it is so totally immune

To the rate of abortions, to the hatred
Sweeping over us like a typhoon
To the political division, to the separation
Of family, yes so very immune

To the bullying and shootings in our
Schools, to the liberal buffoon
To the lost morals and respect of
Others yes it is so immune

To domestic violence, and runaways
And Suicide and darkness and gloom
To the loss of soldiers lives for our
Freedom, so unconsciously immune

To the littered city streets and country
Side, as if we’ve put ourselves in a cocoon
We’ve closed our eyes to evil like the media
as if it Doesn’t exist, oh so immune

To the Lost good will of man, to the
Terrorism of 9/11 and the Antifa loon
To the acceptance of evil acts and lost
Teaching of God, oh so very immune

To the fact that even the Devil believes
And as my tears flow like a monsoon
I can’t help but wonder how and why
We’ve become so heartless and immune

God Is Crying

      With his voice, it began
Out of the darkness, there was light
He was happy with his creation, when it
Was finished, it was beautiful in his sight

All he wants for us is to love, if you
Listen you can hear his still small voice
He loves us so much so that his love
Is not forced, it’s still our choice

Now as he looks down and sees so many
Are so consumed in hate and people dying
His heart is breaking in two as it fills
With pain and know that God is crying

How can a soul, anyone with a heart
Think that it’s right and find it gratifying
To riot and burn and **** in any rage
Without remorse, know God is crying

No one knows what is right as the Devil
Deceives so well and finds it satisfying
Pitting us all against each other
All the while he knows God is crying

We cannot see what is beyond the surface
The bigger picture of the evil underlying
The media has told so many lies, the truth
Is lost forever and know that God is crying

With each day that passes, the words
And the images become more horrifying
The fire down below now burns in the
Heart of man and know God is crying

People I pray please open your eyes
To all the signs that are notifying
From up above he grieves
Yes know that God is crying

In the end of days, evil will be called good
And good be called evil, so terrifying
So it is written and so it shall be done
And know that God is crying

Heaven Sent

    I can tell you all about my deficiencies
And I can tell you about all that I’m not
I can tell you about the darkness
And everything that I haven’t got

I can tell you a million excuses
To why I’m not where I once wished to be
But I cannot explain the cosmos
Nor can I explain God’s plan for me

I can’t tell you how many tears I’ve cried
Or how many times my world fell apart
I can’t show you the million cracks
That make up this broken heart

I know that I am no Casanova
And I am not the man of steel
I’m not the Prince of England
But my love for my baby is real

I’ll never have the riches of my dreams
But no longer do I have a heart of discontent
Because I know my baby is an Angel
And I know she was Heaven sent

Love Prevail

   Well now that the work day is done
I’m looking out my window at the setting sun
As it marks the end of another day
I close my eyes and begin to pray

Lord the world is spinning out of control
Let your love heal every soul
So that we may erase this hate
To start a new life with a clean slate

We’ve got to find a way to come together
Like the birds of a feather
We cannot continue to fight
Let us find a way to unite

There’s always room for love to be found
We all share a common ground
Knowing that life is so minutely temporary
We still get lost in the ancillary

As the Devil has us in division
Open our eyes to see with new vision
Destroy forever the Devil and his domain
And let peace and love forever reign

As I continue to look out my window
Lord please remove this great shadow
Help us fight evil so we may not fail
Once and for all let love prevail

All That Matters Is You

  Where I work this is the way we roll
This is deeply planted in our soul
There’s things in this world we can’t control
We give comfort and we console

I do what I do because I care
I transport patients in a wheelchair
Still health care it’s the Cross I bear
Proudly my uniform I wear

From total knees and hips too
Drug abuse and alcoholics and the flu
But now the world is a scary new
But one thing will remain true

Doesn’t matter your religion Lutheran, Hindu
Doesn’t matter your race, black, white, Bantu
Doesn’t matter your political view
All that matters is you

Do BLM? ABSOLUTELY!!!
But I tell you the current BLM
Movement is not about BLM.
The soul purpose of this movement
Has one focus.
That focus is to destroy America!!!
Please be careful of what you are really
Standing up for.
Getting behind this movement though
It may be good intentions is not what we
Want or need in America.
This is telling everyone that you stand
For and believe in the destruction of America. It doesn’t show or mean that
You stand for or believe that BLM.
God Bless all races!!!

NEVER KNOW COME DEATH

    New born baby, so delicate, so fragile
This little life in your hands
I just wanna say this clearly
So that everyone understands

Give your love unconditionally
To this heavenly sent gift
Treasure each moment of their life
For time can be so unforgivingly swift

And if today you find conflict with anyone
And tempers rage and hatred reigns
Quickly find a way to forgive and
Don’t keep your love in chains

Pray for those whom don’t know Jesus
This doesn’t take special skill or magic art
It’s just the simple power of prayer
And prayer comes from the heart

This shouldn’t be that difficult so
Give your love freely with every breath
For life is so minutely temporary, we
Never know come death

Black Widow

    You know it’s hard for me
To see the truth in your eyes
When you’ve spent so many years
Spinning out your web of lies

I thought that you loved me, you
Kept your true feelings well in disguise
I was just your back up lover
When there were no other guys

You captured me and took a swift bite
I was just another delicious find
You wrapped yourself around my heart
And refused to unwind

You took what you wanted
Like a viscous ****** violator
And you would set me aside
So you could save me for later

I was lost in a cloud of deception
My eyes were in a hypnotic glaze
I was trapped in a trance
Of your poisonous haze

When I saw through the charade you
Left me and nightly tears stain my pillow
After the mating you devoured me
Like the deadly Black Widow

Apocalyptic Sky

Time will come a day our
Earth will see its last
Chaos and confusion are norm,as
thoughts turn to days of past

Those whom never accepted
Thy gift of thy Christ
Whom never had faith nor
Could comprehend
his life he sacrificed

Will see his wonder and know
In death be unforgiven
And each heart like wood
Beneath the Axe be riven

And shortly it be realized
The decision of chosen path
And swiftly succumb  
to the Power of his wrath

The air be filled with sounds
Of humans cry
Beneath a dark, devilish
Apocalyptic sky

When Night Falls—1

   Sometimes I pray for the light of day
I welcome the distraction of my mind
Sometimes at night I wish that
My visions were not so well defined

I really have left my past behind but
Those pesky cobwebs still hang
They’re In the attic of my brain at it
Reminds me of when sorrow sang

Most days and nights I get through
And I am left completely un phased
But something sparks a memory and
It can’t leave me completely unscathed

I’ve learned to rely on Jesus
And the visions I can quickly dismiss
And there were good times and
It’s healthy to reminisce

But I confess without warning
Frighteningly I will awaken
And the sweat and tears are flowing
And I am left shaken

The visions of what was long ago
Come straight from the Devils castle halls
And forgive me but it’s the reason why
Sometimes I dread it when night falls

               When Night Falls —2

   Sometimes the day is too long
And it lacks in its charms
Sometimes I pray for the day to end
So that I can be in my baby’s arms

When I wake up I’m next to her
It’s the only place that I want to be
When the work day is done I know
She’ll be there with me

We’re so good together
And it comes as no surprise
I knew we were meant for each other
The moment I looked into her eyes

I give Jesus my praise
And I thank him for his love
I will forever be in his debt
For the gift he sent from above

When I’m in her presence
Believe when I say and I’m not faken
My knees still get weak and I
Can’t keep them from shaken

So I guess you could say it’s forever love
I always come running when she calls
And I can’t wait for the day to end
And I cherish the time when night falls

            When Night Falls—3

   Sometimes when I’m working
Time ticks away so **** slow
I know it’s wrong to wish the moments away
But sometimes I just wanna go

Sometimes knowing it’s five o’clock
Somewhere gets me to thinking
I wish I was at a party somewhere
And I could be dancing and drinking

I thank God for my job and my life
I enjoy what I do, it’s a form of giving
But sometimes I wish I had more time
For fun and more time for living

So don’t get me wrong
I don’t want it to be mistaken
But I know somewhere there’s people
Out on the dance floor doin some shaken

I just wanna be somewhere with my baby
When my day of working is done
I want to be the life of the party
I just wanna have some fun

So let me go to the club and get the
Party started within its walls
Sometimes you just gotta get away from
It all and enjoy yourself when night falls

                  When Night Falls—4

  Sometimes I rush through my chores
With so much to be done
But it’s a race against time
Trying to beat the setting Sun

I’m always aware of my surroundings
I have no choice for my survival
One mistake is all it takes, there’ll
Be no chance for a reprisal

I thank God for each day and I know
There’s no since In wishin and hopin
And all throughout the night
I’m sleeping with one eye open

There’s the sounds in the wilderness
The crickets the toads and the Owl
The singing birds the deer and bear
The fish jumping and the wolves howl

But there’s a sound that I hear in the
Woods and it’s really just unnatural
I’m sure that it’s a huge hairy beast
But I have no evidence collateral

But you can believe me when I say
That it does exist, for I’ve seen its eyeballs
And I’ve spent days praying for a never
Ending Sun, never a time when night falls

As a writer I never know where I am going
To go when I get an idea.
I always get the title first. That’s the idea
(Old Ones) (Apocalyptic Sky)
(When Sorrow Sang) and so on.
I was putting my clothes away the other day
Listening to music. Wham out of nowhere
(When Night Falls) popped into my head
I cannot write it fast enough with one thumb typing, too funny but that’s how I do it.
With my dark past the original version is what came out. The title however can really be taken anyway it wants to go. This is true with anything. Poetry, plays, songs, movies.
And I thought why not put a little romantic touch on it. Version 2 and I thought how about the working class. Version 3
Then I thought of Horror. Version 4
Please rate them using their assigned number 1-2-3-or 4
And tell me why. Also don’t be afraid of being Critical. I’m 58, I can handle it.
God Bless!!!

Sometimes as writers we never know
Where the thought is going to go.
The title (When Night Falls)
Popped into my head while I was
Putting my clothes in the closet
Of course if I don’t write it down,
I’ll lose it. It could have gone any direction
But because of my dark past the first original write went in that direction.
I thought about it and I thought what if I revisit the title and put a little romance to it.
So you get it again. Then I thought let’s look at with the working class view and
So you get it again. Thinking of just one more (Horror?) God Bless!!!

Old Ones

  I remember my youth and
The energy that was endlessly flowing
And today I feel that energy
Continually slowing

I remember my elders and
How they envied me
Wishing they could store
That energy for eternity

Now the years have passed me by
And I still feel the kid Inside of me
But I have no clue just where
That energy might be

I know it's lost in some
Kind of a galaxy Void
Harnessed inside some
Kind of a robot droid

Or maybe it's frozen in the
Space and time doldrums
Or maybe it was  hijacked
By the old ones

Quick Sand

      Your love was the oasis
Something I couldn’t resist
My lips were ******
Never being kissed

I ran to you with the vision of paradise
I was like a moth to your flame
I wanted something everlasting
You were just playing a game

I was Young and didn’t know about
Girls or anything about love
I thought that I was in Heaven
And you were my Angel from above

You made a bet, you said you could
Get me, that it would be a breeze
You proved your point as I fell for
You with such a willingly ease

Time has passed now and many have
Come and gone in my life
I find myself happily married
To a wonderful wife

But I’ll never forget that broken heart
Because we all remember our first
It’s just part of life and a memory
And it’s like being cursed

From time to time, I see a vision of your
Face, but I know it’s just a Hologram
Just like before, the illusion of the oasis
Was just you and your unholy scam

There’s nothing like your first broken
Heart, I was left a person of Analysand
After I fell for you and your charade
Neck high into your Quick Sand

Old School VS New School

  My wife and I get up and go to work
With a constant pain as our bodies are
Feeling their age.
I’ve been in three automobile accidents that my car was totaled and a forklift accident,
Long story but I ran it off the dock and my shoulder slammed into the roll cage as I hit the ground. I’m a victim of physical child abuse-and I’ve come close to death from surgeries because I’m sensitive to Anastasia
That makes my heart stop and they almost lose me every time.
My sister in law gets up and goes to work
And she is facing not one but two
Brain surgeries and I have an old friend
With Ménière’s disease.
It’s a ringing in the ears and it causes
Vertigo and nausea and hearing loss
And he is about to ride a bike from Denver
Colorado to Columbus Ohio to raise money
For researching and awareness for this
Disease and we have coworkers that
Call off work for a hang nail

Everyone’s Talking

   A still small voice is calling
Know that Jesus saves
Out in the streets hear the noise
Hear it over the airwaves

This is the Devil at his finest
It’s so hard to find the love
When the world is fighting and
Every push becomes a shove

Everyone one knows the two paths
We all have the right to choose
In times of difficulty when we fight wrong
With wrong the end result is we all lose

Every Time there’s a disaster see it
On the news, those that come to rescue
And then there’s those that loot
Forgive me and my pirlicue

When one is killed wrongly by police
We agree that it wasn’t right
But in turn is this cause or reason to
Rioting and causing a national racism fight

In hindsight couldn’t we have protested
And voiced ourselves in a way that inspires
Not by disrespecting others property by
Busting windows and setting fires

Outside at your door you
Cannot hear him knocking
The Devil has us fighting and no one’s

ZEAL FOR THE LORD

    As humans we are far from perfect
Though some of us try to be
We all fall short of this task
We are just incapable of this ability

Daily struggle keeps us from focusing
And well it’s just impossible
Most of us believe in a higher power
There’s some who believe it’s implausible

God is known the only form of perfection
And he is believed to be the creator
All that is good and the Devil is known as
The fallen Angel and as the perpetrator

We have two paths we can choose
And we are responsible for our decision
Ultimately though this results in our
Inability to love and causes our division

That’s when we have to have faith
And for thy neighbor still show them love
This may let them see the light
And know the power from above

I do my best to do my part and I let his
Word be my armor my shield and my sword
Second Kings ten sixteen, come with me
And see my ZEAL FOR THE LORD

When You’re Broken

   The sky is charcoal grey
The flowers no longer in bloom
The world outside is not for you
You’re better off in your room

The darkness seems to follow you
There’s an endless rain
You can’t fill the emptiness
There’s a constant pain

Even the birds singing their morning song
Seems to bring you more sadness
The depression you feel is overwhelming
Like the universe and its vastness

You’re just a dying star
Your light flickers and fades
Your heart feels as if it were being
Stabbed with a million blades

Someone came into your life
And your love they stole
Now there’s nothing left but to surrender
Yourself to the depths of a Black hole

Questions arise in your mind
Will I ever see the light
Is life worth living or should
I just give up in my fight

If your life was a song, it would be a sad
Tune about a heart turning to stone
The lyrics would be of burning pain
And the Devils grin as he sits on his throne

A bad moon rising and rivers overflowing
Everything in your life is spoiling
It feels no different than nature’s wrath
Of Hurricanes and Tornadoes destroying

The damage is like a disaster, the
Destruction is as far as the eyes can see
Picking up the pieces to start again is
Like trying to organize a scree

Your eyes are dry from crying
There’s no words to be spoken
Your just a soul with a heart of stone
When you’re broken

Invisible Man

  I’ve been working my job one hundred
Percent, blood sweat and tears
Community service to my best ability
For the past ten years

Everyone knows my name and everyone
Knows my heart and soul
They know the work and service
I provide as I play my role

With each day my only challenge
Is the fight I have with myself
I wish I could take my thoughts
And store them on a shelf

But the bottom line is no matter
How far that I go above and beyond
It’s taken for granted and won’t be
Noticed until I’m dead and gone

I slip in to start my day unnoticed and
I go out and do everything I can
I come back stealthy as well and
It’s like I’m the invisible man

Living In A World New

   Once not long ago, the birds use to
Sing in the trees outside my window
But where are they now
I’d give my life to know

Once not long ago, the Sun use to shine
Life was as beautiful as a rainbow
But where is it now, its warmth
And its light it refuses to show

Now the sky is grey and heavy with rain
The leaves whither and fall
My days are filled with darkness
And life doesn’t feel worth living at all

Even the Stars refuse to sparkle
And the Moon has lost its glow
Old man river is dry and his
Water is stagnant without flow

Once not long ago, you were mine
And I thought our love was true
But now you’re gone and I’m alone in
Darkness, living in a world new

Fallen Angel

     I can feel your pain, I know
And I have secret to tell
This is just between you and me
Not all fallen Angels go to Hell

So if you’re feeling low and you
Think you’ll never see the Dawn
If the darkness has surrounded you
And you feel like you’re the lost one

Just listen to me, I know
If you’re feeling you can’t go on
It hurts so deep inside and
You’re just hurtin for someone

Take my word, I know
If it feels,the pain will never be gone
Just know In your heart you’re
Not the only lonely one

In the shadows between the lines
Hear the echoes and recall
Hear the whispers and know
You’re not the first to fall

No you’re not the first to fall
And you know you won’t be the last
If you want to find love again
You must release your past

Just take some time to unwind
Your broken heart from its tangle
And when you’re ready, just take
The hand of another fallen Angel

KARMA-A-B-I-T-C-H

Could lose her job, isn’t KARMA-A-B-I-T-C-H

Edge Of Suicide

   How sad does one have to be
How dark is the soul inside
For the brain to begin the thought
Process to stand on the edge of Suicide

When does one start to withdraw
And from society hide
When does the depression push
The sanity to the edge of Suicide

When does the light fade and ones
Passion for life subside
At what point does the rationality switch
To think it’s ok to be on the edge of Suicide

When does happiness and sadness
Like a storm front of hot and cold collide
It frightens me to know the answers to the
Questions for I’ve been to the edge of Suicide

I know when sanity and insanity
Become ones reality as they coincide
And when insanity over takes ones hope
So they find themselves on edge of Suicide

But I was given an Angel, someone
To whom in my feelings I could confide
It reversed my steps and I began
To retreat from the edge of Suicide

So if your days are as dark as the darkest
Night, I pray for enough sanity so you decide
To reach out for something or someone
So you never stand on the edge of Suicide

Soulless Souls

      I’m not making any excuses
And today I wouldn’t change a thing
My past and my street wasn’t paved
In Gold, nor did the bird of happiness sing

I never had ambition, I was told I was
Worthless and so it became true
I believed those words and I never
Strived to break through

So therefore there were no goals
Except to survive for another day
Life passed and my dreams, well
My dreams just faded away

The people around me, just passed me by
They all lived for success
They all achieved the American Dream
But they also had the means of access

They all had visions of a goal and the
Passion and the soul and heart
My soul was lost, my heart was broken
In the race, I was left at the start

Sometimes I feel that I would do anything
To have another chance
But I know if I did, it would have changed
My music and my dance

But to have anything, to have a goal
A chance to shine, so bright
To see the world with a different view
To see it in a whole new light

And it saddens me to see this generation
Of stone cold hearts with vicious goals
Of spreading hatred and rip, rip and
Destroy in their soulless souls

Whimsical

     Love to some is nothing more
Than a story, that which is mythical
Some say love is real and falling
In love can be purely magical

The attraction to someone
At first glance can be purely physical
But we must look beyond this
For true love, as this can be critical

For if we fall in love with the wrong
One, than love can be parasitical
And to our hearts this type of love
Can be dangerous and even apocalyptical

I’m not a modern day Spock or Vulcan
But love would seem to not be logical
But love is real and very powerful
Finding the right love can be rhythmical

So in your search for love be aware
That love is far from predictable
And also be aware that the power
Of love is ultimately irresistible

I tell you though not to guard your heart
For safety but instead do the reciprocal
And when you find true love
Know that it’s far from whimsical

The Voice Within

    Sometimes in a whisper, sometimes in
A scream, I hear the voice within
Sometimes in the light, sometimes in
The dark, speaking like a kingpin

The words echo, from my dark past
It’s an evil voice, this voice within
Alcohol became a friend of mine
A bottle of beer, a bottle of cold Gin

Sometimes it’s a constant ringing
This strange voice within
Pitching itself between that
Of a Mandolin or a Violin

It’s mean and it’s ugly
This voice within
I believe the Devil would say
It’s his favorite immortal sin

It’s ironic that the hot and fiery
Burning of this voice within
Can be so very, very cold
Even too cold for the mighty Quinn

It use to control me but God is
My most powerful indomethacin
And though I still hear it, I just don’t
Listen to the voice within

Silence

    You were warmth,you were love
You were life, you were the essence
You were the light, but now it’s dark
And it’s cold in your absence

I visit you when I can
Especially when I feel so alone
But I cannot touch you or hold you
But just stare at the stone

So much life you’ve missed
But today life isn’t worth living
The world has gone crazy
There’s no more caring and giving

If I could join you I would, so badly
I wish there were some mechanism
For some type or form of communication
To hear your voice of wisdom

But I come and I talk and talk
And I cry in desperation of my reliance
But I’m left with more loneliness
And the sound of silence

WITCH

      Some might say there’s no such
Thing as Witches and a Witch’s spell
But I tell you there is and all
Evil Witches go to Hell

Some may not have the ability
To make a magical potion
But still find a way to be Evil
If they choose to have the notion

Oh they can be such a deceptive charade
So innocent with blue eyes
But if you fail to see it, you’ll quickly become
A victim of their manipulation and lies

They slip into your life so silky smooth
They just have that special knack
And when you least expect it
They swiftly stab you in your back

So I warn you all of Witches
Be careful of their wake
If you have the opportunity
Burn them to a stake

Just trust me on these words I say
I have fallen victim, my life in ruin
All because my heart is trusting
And I couldn’t see what she was brewin

It takes an evil within oneself
To posses such a unique niche
I pray that no one out there ever
Comes in contact with a Witch

Coffee House Poetry

   I ordered a cup of coffee
Black and hot
The waitress brought my order
And a cup of coffee black and hot
Is what I got
And the finger symbols clang,
Clang, clang, clang, clang

I woke this morning to hear
a bird singing on my window seal
I got out of bed and saw a bird
All to real, yes a bird was
Singing on my window seal
And the finger symbols clang,
Clang, clang, clang, clang

I heard an echo of a wise man who said
If your eye hurts while drinking tea
Remove the spoon
And the finger symbols clang,
Clang, clang, clang, clang

It was night and I Thought it
Would be dark, I looked
Outside and it was dark
And the finger symbols clang,
Clang, clang, clang, clang

Think you’ll never see the Dawn

No you’re not the first to fall

Give Me Death

      So it shall be written
So it shall be done
Here I am stuck on a planet
With nowhere to run

I’ve got no device for escape, this calls
For more than a bottle of cold gin
So it is written, time is coming to an
End but I didn’t wanna see it begin

It’s the year twenty, twenty we should
Be living in a world of peace and light
But instead we’re divided and living
In a world of turmoil in our darkest night

We’re in a constant fight and soon we’ll
Listen to the Swan as she sings
As long as we let ourselves be Marionettes
And let the media pull the strings

As for me I don’t wish to live in this world
With the fighting and political shibboleth
Give me back my world and learn to love
Or you can simply give me death

Crazy/Sane

     I’d like to think I’m stable
If I am, I’ve gotta be on the edge
If you examine my mind, I think you’ll
Find you won’t have to dredge

For I’m sure it’s alive just beneath the
Surface, just milliliters from escape
So I warn you, be careful where you tread
For the outer layer is as thin as a crape

I’m trying desperately to hold it all
Together but it’s a shaky reality
If you listen to my words, they’re
Screaming like the wails of the Banshee

It’s not like I’m hearing voices
It’s more like an annoying itch
The best way I can describe it is,
It’s like a video game with a gli -gli-glitch

I know it’s just a matter of time
Before I lose myself inside my brain
The circuits are blowing, if you look
Closely you’ll see, I’m Crazy/Sane

Her Spell

    I was young but far from innocent
But I still thought love passed me by
Forever grounded and always alone
My broken wings to never fly

The fairytale, never a reality but I
Dreamed life could still be bliss
Then I saw her and I was hypnotized
And my life changed with a kiss

What they say about it, all the symptoms
Was becoming my experience
But everyone said not to worry about it
For it was proven not to be deleterious

In her presence I felt so strange
And I would lose my ability to speak
My stomach would turn upside down
And my knees would grow weary and weak

And now as the years have passed us by
Still burning brightly is the flame
I know that for me, forever
It will always remain the same

I’ll always remember my flight
And the instant of the Sudden chandelle
The day that everything changed
As I fell helplessly under her spell

Shambhala

   Is it a fantasy or is it just a dream
A mythical place free of hostility
People living in harmony and in
Complete enlightenment and tranquility

Here upon this Earth somewhere between
The vast desert of the Gobi
And the mountains of the Himalaya
How wonderful it would be

I’ve heard the songs they’ve sang
And one by Three Dog Night
A beautiful image of walking the streets
And halls an overwhelming delightful sight

To be one with mind and body
And with each other in peace
The hatred and division at an end
So divine as the fighting would cease

Should we have to venture far out in
Space or even in our Milky Way to Aquila
Or is it really a possibility to come to
This achievement in a place like Shambhala

Twenty Thousand BC

  It’s the year twenty twenty
We should be far advanced
We should be as one working together
Our lives should be much more enhanced

A unison inferior existence ready
To explore the realms of space
Lives living in harmony in a
Beautiful utopia of one human race

But no instead we are in a pitfall
As if we’re living in the era of the Stonehenge
Fighting amongst ourselves in fits of
Racial and political rage and revenge

A world of unrest pulling ourselves
Away from the matters of the heart
Letting the media and corporate entities
Keep us further and further apart

I don’t know about anyone else
But this is not the world for me
By now we should be aboard the Enterprise
Out in space but no we’re livin in twenty
Thousand BC

Vanlue

   There’s a magical mystical place
Somewhere out there, they say
Maybe in another galaxy
Or in our own Milky-way

I’ve heard the people say it’s
A land of honey and rainbows
A place with unicorns and Pegasus’s
And sun flowers by the rows

I know that I wish I could be there, far
Away from this crazy world gone insane
In a place where there’s no hate
Where there’s only love and no pain

Some people would say it’s crazy
But I think we should all still dream
So I travel via a shooting star catapulting
From a comets tail that I hitched from a Moonbeam

I let my imagination run wild
With all sounds, smells and sights
A place with overwhelming love
Free from the fussing and fights

Some say that I’m speaking of Heaven
Others say that it’s Xanadu
A place far, far away in our universe
But I wonder if it’s as close as a place
In Ohio named Vanlue

I live in Ohio and I drive everywhere
Yesterday I saw a sign for the exit
To Vanlue. I didn’t know we had such a
Place and I thought that it was funny.
It’s probably just a very small town that
No one has heard of but it became the
Inspiration for this silly poem.

When You Realize You Were Wrong

   I was there for you
On my shoulder you cried
He cheated on you, and your innocence
Broke your heart and a part of you died

My love for you has been strong
You failed to see
Now I am here but you,
No you’ll never shed a tear for me

Well I know that my love,
It grows weary by the day
What’s right in front of you, you cannot
See and I’ll let you leave without affray

Because love is something that cannot
Be forced or be held captive
I cannot change your destiny or direction
My love for you fails to be refractive

One day you will leave me
Though I’ve proven to be the one
Though I’ve given you my heart
One day I’ll wake and you’ll be gone

You’ll make your bed in the night
And disappear like a fading song
And one day you will cry again
When you realize you were wrong

We Are Healed
  
        
     With a Star in the night over Bethlehem
And his birth it was bestowed
And after a life of love and miracles
Into the city of Jerusalem on a Donkey he rode

Soon he would be beaten and whipped
To the point of being near dead
They made him carry his own Cross
And placed a Crown of thorns upon his head

Nailing Spikes through his hands and feet
They secured him to that Cross
His life they would take and the world
Would all know of his loss

For all of the worlds sin was placed upon him
And even after everything he was put through
He spoke Father Forgive them
For they know not what they do

And with the Death of our Christ for
Everyone in the world it was revealed
To all each man woman and child
With his stripes we are healed

God Bless everyone!!!

Democratic Propaganda

  The hate spews like the water that
Flows over the falls of Niagara
And it burns in the veins to the hearts
Like the fire from volcano magma

They so desperately want to keep
Their power and their control
They will do anything for the cause
To the Devil they’ve sold their soul

First lie, deception was the Russian Coalition, since they’ve been loading the platter
With a Covid pandemic and now with the
Rioting and Black lives matter

The Devil is working over time through the
Dems but they are failing to realize
The country they are trying to deceive
Has opened their eyes

And now like young lovers forbidden to
See each other,they always rebel
The country will do the same and the Dems
Will be putting themselves through Hell

Four more years of the Trump
And Republicans will rule for many more
The actions of the Dems have let us see
The Devil like we never have before

So since we all have a voice, I figured
I would speak with every stanza
Just Incase you’re not able to see the
Media and the Democratic Propaganda

The Point Of No Return

  We have come to the beginning
Of the end, but it’s been for sometime
We’ve closed our eyes, just like to all
Of God’s beauty,so sublime

As time ticked away we told God we
Didn’t need him, we’re better on our own
And now here we are with no feelings
For our hearts have turned to stone

The world has gone insane, with kids
Killing kids in our schools
Everyone just doing as they please
Paying no attention to the rules

Now it seems we’ve reached the pinochle
The capital or the rebellion we must choose
Just like our past civil war but with this
There’s no winner we all just lose

Brother killing brother
From history we refuse to learn
Can we turn it around or have we
Past the point of no return

The Media
  
   It use to be informative
It use to be both sides of the story
It use to be the good and the bad
And stories of triumph and glory

Now it’s all about fear and hate
And political divisions left or right
Now it’s all about doom and gloom
And getting their ratings for the night

I can’t remember the last time that I
Saw any emotion on a reporter’s face
They just seem like stone cold robots
Far removed from the human race

The world hanging on every word
Of their fake news and lies
Dressed in their dresses and suits
Just the Devil in disguise

The only light they shine is evil
The ultimate dark light
Pitting us to turn on each other
As they watch us argue and fight

They are nothing but serpents
Technically known as Ophidia
The one and only, truth is
The Devil is the Media

Broken

   My tears they flow
Like rain from the sky
My thoughts, from here, where do we go
So many questions why

The world in despair
The future no longer bright
Are we beyond repair
Forever locked in a fight

Is this the true beginning of the end
Is everyone the enemy
Can no one be a friend
Is this our final destiny

I think of the children, and sigh
This is the world we leave
What do we say when they ask why
My heart and soul they grieve

God we’ve suffered through the years
Now only words of hate are spoken
We’ve all shed the tears
We need your love, for we are broken

The Heart Of America

  Together we stand
Divided we fall
All for one
And one for all

This is what was
This was the heart
Beating strong and true
But it’s now broken apart

Now it’s divided we stand
And I don’t care if you fall
There’s no love for thy neighbor
There’s no love at all

Only the strong will survive
There’s no future or hope, it’s just hate
When the weak are dead, they’ll turn
On each other and this is the fate

Destiny when they don’t know how to
Farm or hunt or cook
They think they can take and take
Then they’ll see what they took

I can see the future clear in their world
The farmer is dead and his crop too
His cattle and chickens as well
With nothing to renew

Then they’ll have it all and have nothing
All the money with nothing to buy
The cars the houses no fuel no law
Not a thing no factory for supply

This is the Liberal way
They think this is best
Back to the days
Of the Wild Wild West

**** or be killed
Nothing left to live for or die for
Just empty city streets and barren land
And time ticking away to hell’s door

The liberals, what’s yours is mine
Though they didn’t work a day
But it’s not fair if anyone has it
And they don’t, are the words they say

But in reality when they get what they
Want, they will have nothing at all
Everything will be worthless when it’s
Divided we stand and I don’t care if you fall

Because now there’s no love
Only hate and hysteria
That’s what we have beating
In the heart of America

Greed

  In America, we let it take over,
It replaced our quality
We started making it cheaper
And quicker to sell more quantity

In America, we let it take over,
It replaced our pride
We took our production over seas
We let everything slide

In America, we let it take over,
It replaced our values in our brothers
Now we’re in a position that we
Have to depend on others

In America, we let it take over,
It replaced made in the USA
To make America great again
There’s just one thing I can say

In America, we need to take it over,
Bring it all back, that’s what we need
No more Mexico no more China and one
Last thing, no more greed
