That knock on my broken screen door
The neighbors
sit on broken
lawn chairs
as I run screaming
down our dirt road
throwing empty
beer cans
at the car you
stole to
leave me
And they offer me
sympathetic
glares and shots
of whisky
while taking in
the green-stick
break on my heart
(I fell down the stairs)
the two purple
fist marks
on my soul
(I ran into a wall)
And the missing
patches of
self worth
that looked
like they were
yanked out ...
sit on broken
lawn chairs
as I run screaming
down our dirt road
throwing empty
beer cans
at the car you
stole to
leave me
And they offer me
sympathetic
glares and shots
of whisky
while taking in
the green-stick
break on my heart
(I fell down the stairs)
the two purple
fist marks
on my soul
(I ran into a wall)
And the missing
patches of
self worth
that looked
like they were
yanked out ...

Wolves in Cheap Clothing
When men claim to be the voice of the Most High
I tend to question authority,
(Remember Waco or Jonestown?)
Wolves in cheap clothing tend try to control the masses,
Yet many from different classes fall for their trickery,
Like sheep following blindly to the slaughter.
Some religions seem to have put a negative spin
On their founder’s teachings,
Making up senseless rules somewhere along the way,
They become corrupt like government officials or politicians,
Brainwashing those not strong enough to think for themselves.
Thou...

Garment Watchers
Sister G was an elderly Christian woman. She invited a man named Malcolm to a church in Old Harbour. Malcolm was not a churchgoer, but he decided to pay a visit to the church. On the second Sunday in February, he went to the church, and he wore the only suit and the only necktie that he had. Nobody said anything to him about his outfit on the first day.
The following Sunday, Malcolm wore the same suit and the same necktie to church, and nobody said anything to him about his clothes on that day either. He started to get a good feeling about the members of the...
