Can You Believe This Story Of A Statue And Cat?
"How much is that
rather large
bright orange
tabby cat"?
Said the old
grey bearded
well dressed
dancing
spannish man.
"Well, it's normally fifty
just today
I'll swap,
your mouse"
yelled the
rather tired looking
French loaf baking
American woman
and that explains why
there's a singing, dancing
door mouse
in the bakery
near the golf club
on Red Fox
street, in the city
near the park, where the
ducks
paddle
in the pond next to
the big bronze
unicorn
statue; that has sleeping
on it's back, a large cat
with
bright orange fur, cheshire
smile and boots
of cow hide

Creature In The Woods
Who or what is that lingering in the woods?
Those deep and dark eyes look like shadows
Of the trees. All I can hear is their breathing or
Is it just my imagination playing tricks on me?
I can only imagine some beast like creature
Who isn’t a beast, but just a creature who is
All alone. Everyone is only afraid of them like
Little red riding hood is terrified of the big bad
Wolf. So no one thinks that good things come
Out of those woods and into the light. But
What if they want a friend? Maybe they want
Someone to share the darkness with them.
They want someone to realize that they just
Look and act like any other animal in the woods.

Awake and make straight thy path.
There was a time you and I would say words agree, now the Lord has shown me the way that I may see the world's darkened ways,
Ignorance and apathy
A heart hardened by the world's deceit and lies influential flesh, Lusty eyes
Look for the truth are you seeing, a spirit filling feeling empowered by this being.
Promises made, Shattered Dreams, man's strength alone. Satan seed of deception, Turn the Page. Blinded Stony hearts the god of this age.
Deceiving spirits, the shame of all time. A serpent in a tree committed the crime. Familiar spirits direct waves of thought a saturated sinful life
Thoughts filling your head, just yeild to the words in red. Renewing the mind to cure the blind to test the will of God.
Give it all away, on your knees, crawl from the darkness into the light. Motives clearly seen, a narrow path no compromise. Let Jesus remove the scales from your eyes.
Father send your angels in the clouds for all to hear his voice of Truth on high, gather the elect to meet him in the sky, collect the tears of they who cry.
