Invisible Voices
Beginning from the ending
What do you see
Fate predetermined
Of God or my humanity
If love does not insist on its own way
The sovereign constrains self to give free will
Choosing between the darkness or the light of an eternal day
Capable we are of evil for the sake of something real
Authenticating love unbound to programmed affection
Salvation or damnation, acceptance or rejection
Self fulfilling prophecy takes shape in the form of what we believe
Whether we rise or plummet
The hope or anchor of the ways we have or...

life in 3D, see it with me
I said "on the other side, we will be,"
but I forgot to tell you, about what's in 3D,
we have 3 kids;
the eldest is your spitting image and worships the ground you walk on,
he respects and cherishes his mama like no one before,
but he is always his own person and remains true to himself.
ohhhhh, the girl, that middle child...
she acts just like her mama, with the sass and spunk to back it up,
and you better believe she has her daddy wrapped around her little finger.

"I told you I'd always come back."
"I know, it just took me a little to realize it."
take your time,
"I swear I'll be here when you get back home"

Vitriolic Values
Caught in a perpetual fight
The inheritance of conflict and the ongoing war
Violence's in reprised roles cast of former strides
Living and dying for the causes of a broken record
Circling revived mountains, reinvented
Sparking the same revolution over and over again
Scapegoat nations, self centered generations
Faulting forward the debts we inherit
Mocking mantras of politicians on repeat
Torn between the red and blue parrot
We suffer, casualty of an unseen battle
Not the flesh and blood, but the symptom of ourselves ...

Skin Deep
Spelling out the nature of this that I despise
The stench of beauty exploited that tempts the beholders eyes
Raunchy from the innocence of what first was intended
Perversity idolatry, eroticism from purity descended
Bathing in the filth of our bodies exposed
Immodest in the will to sell
Profits at an all time high undisclosed
As pleasures pave way to usher them to hell
Identity stolen by the politics of domesticated culture
Immorality circling dead spirits like a bloodthirsty vulture
Youth siphoned through the corruption of...

'Tegrity
Integrity is such an important part of my life
It speaks truth and honor, it seeks justice for what’s right
Because in a world filled with confusion and chaos
Integrity is the moral compass that leads us to see the light
Even when faith dictates awkward and archaic thinking
Our minds should feel something’s wrong with these decrees
Keen intuition will make the heart feel like its sinking
Sensing something sinister that seems like a grisly disease
Such was the rhetoric I once heard from a pulpit
A leader of faith should never spout...

What is sin doing among you?
If you belief what is sin doing among you?
you carry cruelty within your hearts
you carry hatred in your breathe.
yet you say you belief,
what sort of belief is this?
when sin lives among you?
how many must die in the name of your god?
how many must suffer under the tyranny of the cloth?
How many cries must echo in hallowed halls?
How many prayers must falter,
how many tears must fall?
Yet you claim to believe,
What is sin doing among you?
with conviction so hollow,
When sin casts its shadow and sorrow...

Unseen
Trek onward to overcome the fear
When it grates my flesh but feeds my spirit all the things I yearn to hear
Truths of grace breaking through
Undeserving yet still I hope in the invisible You
Debts cry to control
Lay claims to the will to reposes by default, my soul
With interests built up, the entitlement of the betrayed
Taken apart, dissect the heart, when my actions are filleted
You’ve every right to reject but still you love when I am unlovely
Fear cast out of perfect affections lavished upon
Beauty from the ashes when...

Double Cross
Disturb my fragile sensibility
Disrupt the expectations of my wanting
When I chase temporal things to a fault
I fall pray in my humility to the Holy Ghost haunting
Answering the warning signs with replies of faith imbued by the call
What if there is something to it
When we dismiss the claims for broken records on repeat
Discerning truth amid the chaos of another’s source of vain conceit
The word is alive and I’m dead to rights
When I live subject to something divine
Shadows cast of unseen lights
The end doesn’t answer to my...

Speak your narrative
Following in patterns of sensationalized sign language
Make it say what you want it to
When everybody’s sky is falling
Seasons of our relative apocalyptic delusions
I won’t doubt a wonder but I’ll call it what it is
Stretch the facts into the mold of what you want to see
What speaks to you may not say a word to me
But it’s “your truth”, it’s your cypher, it’s your “prophecy”
Loose translations, contorted interpretations
Twist the words just right to harbor the impact
Looking for incidental events ...

I don't see the face of God here...
All faith is false and all truth is faith
as if a mirror exploded and each one
chose a sliver to be his entire mirror.
