The Issue of Blood
Drawing from dormant depths
Like excavating dry bones
I rise to speak of hope
Against the boast of self inflicted stones
When the heart beats guilt
In my shames acclaim to condemn
I remember that God is greater
As I reach out in desperation for the hem
Faith pulls on the power that flows through the garments of my Savior
Affliction likened unto this issue of my blood
Addiction unspoken drowns me in the turmoil of an isolated flood
When boasts my sins in silence
I suffer the weight of my own violence
...

Reaching across this void
On the other side of a reality
Fractures in our perspectives
Brokenness from different points of view
Learning to see eye to eye
In this world of sight that is our blindness
The fight of faith is trained in these trials
As we sojourn on in this world of pain and prolonged miles
Mountains protrude and boast of their glory
But this is just the beginning of your recovery story
What the enemy intends for evil, God will turn to a testimony of truth
He is not the author of the affliction but a...

For Christ’s Sake
How do we define this?
One man’s law is another man’s virtue
What’s the matter of our preference
What’s a matter of our politics
Where does it collide on the tracks?
Ethics and morality versus the philosophy of our own well being
Our comforts are megaphones for lies when indulgence takes the cake
Are we living for ourselves or does our worship embody our values for Christ’s sake?
Lost for the weight of issues what do I address
When it’s easier to point to someone else than gauge the damages of our own mess
Give me an...

How Do I love Again
Love is a drug and I just need my fix
Tired of pouring all this love into the wrong bitch
Tired of the different mood swings
I hit the wrong switch
Love ain’t did nothing
Not even made me rich
Who knew Love would feel like this?
Love chose a man over her kids
Love had me locked up facing a bid
Love had me wishing I didn’t exist
Love had me taking risks
Now I know what love feels like at the end
I might have said some things I never meant
You really going to throw away all the time that we spent?
I can’t even sleep...

fog
I walked into the fog of a spell
avoiding it was impossible
for I was born blind (blindness the sin –
see at any cost) like all,
a fog lain over the land where we dwell:
see it too late – it covers itself.
when all becomes fog, world becomes bathed in gray
we become accustomed to limited spectrums
within our conception
what breaks our perception?
given a cure – then it's taken away
or diverts the curse into new dimension:
symbols are abstracts; the ocean is mere introspection
look inward, into the fog – fog has settled there ...

DEAR GOD, ARE YOU OUT THERE,
(Now I know this is long but it's worth reading if you're interested.
I would love to hear your thoughts on this if you can and be honest.)
DEAR GOD ARE YOU OUT THERE?
My name is Elizabeth
I have a lot of questions,
And it would be great if you can answer them.
But first I Just want to make one thing clear,
I am not a believer nor do I want to be
Unless you can convince be.
Dear God
How do i have faith or believe in a concept,
where I speak to a man I've never seen
with my own two eyes,
Or heard with my ears or...

Mule Royal
There was a middle-aged man who lived in Warrick, south Manchester. His name was Mr. Busher. Some people called him Mas Busha. He was a farmer and he had a Christian wife and three beautiful daughters. His wife was a member of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. It was rumoured that he was a child molester and that he had incestuous relationships with his daughters, but he denied those allegations. The residents of the district nicknamed him Mule Royal. Jamaicans give that name to any man who has sex with his daughter. Mas Busha would curse anybody who calls him Mule Royal and he would throw...

"Get It Out!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lights flicker…
Jingle Jang of the keys,
About every fifteen.
Chaos and comatose;
No sleep for lord who knows,
Stuck in a pendulum swing.
Jingle jang,
Go the keys.
Stuck in a loop;
Visions from unwanted ketamine,
At only Eighteen,
Drizzled into my leg,
Needled in circlets of slicing flesh,
Calm, Chained and Detained as I was…
I wondered, why the man in uniform and health chose to drug me so severely. ...

Questions About The Bible And Christianity Continues
Did the writers of the scriptures intend to write a book called the Holy Bible?
Can anybody prove that these men wrote the Bible by divine inspiration?
Since other religious manuscripts existed, who decided which writings God inspired?
Were the persons who compiled and printed the first Bible true Christians?
Does the love of money always motivate all persons to do every evil act?
Is the love of money really the root of all evil things as the Bible states?
Did the writer of this text not consider molestation and rape to be evil acts?
Does the love of...

MISSING EACH OTHER
How long idid You reach out to me with an outstretched arm
And I made not myself available?
How long did I not waltz my way through life longing for You
To reach You, to find You?
Yet, when you stopped, I reached for You and now it is You
Who make Yourself not available.
As I enter, You exit.
When You called, I did not answer.
Now, I call and You do not answer.
How many years did You not stand in the hollow
Of my empty void of my soul awaiting for me?
How blind I was with the blindfolds of my own selfishness and ignorance.

Straightforward Questions For Christians
How do you determine whether Christianity has deceptive teachings or not?
Can you prove that all the reports and stories in the Bible are true?
Why do you present a teaching that is based on a set of beliefs as facts?
Do you think it is unreasonable to ask for proof of religious doctrines?
Is it wrong to doubt or reject a teaching that nobody can prove?
Should people accept information from the Bible without questioning it?
Why do you shun those who do not accept your teachings without proof?
Do you not think people have good reasons to be...

Dear Lord
Oh lord, to you what shall I render
For your offers towards me are so tender.
I will always follow guidelines and commands you subjected to my gender.
Wherever you lead me, lord I will follow gladly blindly for you have the best agenda.
My days to worship and praise you are numberless, on that I follow no calendar.
You saved me, you raised me and on the streets I walk majestically in your glory like a vendor.
I enjoy every blessing like a big money spender.
Oh lord, to you what shall I render.
Lord I commit to serve you what ever you...
