Christ Centrality
You were once alienated,
And hostile with evil deeds;
Your mind was deteriorated,
Scriptural thoughts your mind impedes.
Now you have been reconciled,
For this body been put to death;
Holy and no longer defiled,
Christ has given you a new breath.
Continue in faith and stable,
Not shifting from hope you have heard;
Another tale a mere fable,
Keep the Gospel as the true Word.
It’s preached and has been proclaimed,
To all creatures under Heaven;
And never should I be ashamed,
Of what Christ Jesus has given.

Item Ninety Seven
They all said he was crazy
Privately he agreed it was true
But he´d long had this ambition
To Saddle and ride a Gnu
Ninety seven on his bucket list
Which he was slowly whittling down
He´d Centre Courted Wimbledon
Totally garbed in brown
Done a U turn on a motorway
Driven up a one way street
In fact the motoring section
He´d long considered complete.
Skinny dipped in the Serpentine
Completing that test
By Dodging the police
And thus avoiding arrest.
Asked a constable the time on
New Year´s Eve Trafalgar Square
Leapt in the fountain and
Joined the revellers in there.
Travelled First Class rail
With just a Platform ticket
Joined a Trade Union and
Stood on a street picket.
Performed a humorous poem
Accompanied by a double bass
Gone to endure an opera and
Seen a rocket launch into space.
He´d never watched a ballet
An act he considered too far,
Stolen a ride with a hobo
In an empty box car.
Slowly he´d achieved his list
Of things he´d wanted to do
Except for number ninety seven
To saddle and ride a Gnu.
Ninety nine out of a hundred
He thought not such a bad feat
As he supped a glass of champers
And called his list complete.

I AM SO SAD
I AM SO SAD
The clocks went back now the days will be grim
Short days, dark early and the light so dim,
I suffer from S.A.D. but I am not alone
It`s nice to know I`m not on my own.
Days are bad enough but the nights are worse
This is the time of year that I always curse,
It`s like a cloak has been thrown over my head
I feel I can`t breathe and this I dread.
I often wake in the night gasping for breath
Can`t get enough air and it feels like death,
There`s no light to be had it`s dark everywhere
No light or air it is my worst nightmare.
An electric light just doesn`t do the trick
Knowing it`s dark outside makes me feel frantic,
There`s no escape until the morning comes
So all the while I am in the doldrums.

Crying Game
If blessed I'll see you tonight
In my dreams But seem to forget The crucial details When sunrise hits Unwelcoming Fit of depression Scrambling to cover up Regret of Bloodshot eyes And cracked lips.
Gut feeling surmising Unable to prove You're thinking about me too Hundred miles away Your hand pressed against the wall Wishing I reach out And touch you But sincerely doubt You'd find the emotional fortitude To enter this tomb.
Stalling for time To nail down All these minute details Success may be fleeting Failure also a sure thing But fleeing from the confines Of your sacred circle Seems like betrayal.
In turmoil we remain For different reasons The track already laid Lifetimes previously And it either leads me To your embrace Or a premature crash Where my sanity Is sandwiched Between your fate And my self will.
But every time I hear your name My smile frozen Just waiting impatiently To be chosen Beholden to your purity And be cleansed By the stillness Of your heartbeat.
P 6 26 25

IT'S A MAD WORLD EVERYWHERE ( The Rhyme Style )

This world is really like a very mad house,
And for now we are in it here living.
It seems the more technology toys we're acquiring,
The less time we have for just relaxing.
~o~
This world is really like a very mad house,
So many things had changed for the worse so much.
So much had changed for the last 50 years and something,
But there are things that we shouldn't ever be out of touch.
~o~
Like true love among family, and those blessed true friends,
All those great values that makes us feel so good and special too.
Like Love, honesty, loyalty and devotion , and also for others respect and caring,
More than anything Love for God, our neighbors, all living creatures, our country and countrymen too.
~o~
Thank God, that there's someone who never changes in this mad world, no matter what,
And that's of course is God our Creator, and His son, our Savior and King of Kings, Jesus Christ, and
that's that!

* HOW TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR *
A salvation prayer, known by many Christians as a 'Sinners Prayer,' is a prayer one would say to repent from sin, ask God for forgiveness, confess belief in Jesus Christ, and accept him as Lord and Savior. Saying a salvation prayer is the first step in your personal relationship with God.
If you believe the Bible offers truth about the way of salvation, but you have not taken the step to become a Christian, it's as simple as praying this prayer. You can pray by yourself, using your own words. There is no special formula. Just pray from your heart to God, and he will save you. If you feel lost and don´t know what to pray, here´s a salvation prayer that you can follow:
Dear Lord,
I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don´t please you. I have lived my life for myself only. I am sorry, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me.
I believe that You died on the cross for me to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to You now and ask you to take control of my life; I give it to You. From this day forward, help me to live every day for You and in a way that pleases You.
I love you, Lord, and I thank You that I will spend all eternity with You.
Amen.
If you have just prayed this prayer, congratulations!:))
You have received Christ as your Savior and have made the best decision you will ever make´one that will change your life forever!

~ ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD ~
* 1 John 2:15*17*
John warns us not to love the world or the things in it. But what is the world? The apostle isn't talking about the material realm, so there's no need to deprive ourselves of everything we enjoy in life. Rather, he is reminding us that every good desire can be perverted by sinful longings and pride.
The nature of the world system is seen in the behaviors, attitudes, and ambitions of our culture:
Immorality. Our society seeks to gratify lust in ways that God has forbidden. Immorality has even entered our homes through the internet and television.
Greed. The culture is driven by a desire for wealth, material possessions, fame, and power´and some people lie, cheat, steal, or kill to get what they want.
Pride. People are lovers of self and want to be seen as better than others. It's common today to portray oneself falsely on social media in order to be admired.
Despite the sinful condition of our culture, we shouldn't be discouraged. God is greater than the world's power to entice, and His purposes aren't thwarted by sin. He is able to guide us through the darkness as we trust and follow Him.

What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later.

Father, help me to go beyond the afflictions and tribulations of our age, and to look toward the inheritance reserved for us in heaven.

*Reflect & Pray *
There's no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to
do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
*1 John 4: 18
When do you find yourself feeling pressured to believe fear is greater than love? How might your relationships with others change if you believed you don´t need to be afraid?
Loving God, thank You for Your Love. Help us to trust in and follow Your Light and Love even when the way gets dark.

Give me the same compassion for those who have not accepted Your remedy and been BORN AGAIN.

In The Crosshairs
Sanity on the brink
Of a man made disaster
Yet you keep thinking
Its all a ruse
Just to confuse
And buy time
To acquiesce sympathy
From your stoic state
Of affairs.
Saving your heart
For those
Worth the effort
But always circumspect
A kind face
Hiding a sadistic snarl
And a message
Of use and abuse
Hitting a nerve
Too close to home.
You parlay
All your integrity
Into a gut feeling
That logic refuses to surrender
That I'm in the thick
Of a long lost tryst
With paid lip service
Cause the divorce
Still pending.
Not sure what show
You've been watching
Confusing me
For some other man
That led you
Down a road
Of twisted paranoia
Summoning the angel of death.
Dont know why
I suddenly
Have your undivided attention
When there wasn't an attraction
To speak of
Or have you forgotten
It's your blood
On the confession?
I keep reciting
A truth too stark
If we were
The last two
On earth
Entrusted with a duty
To keep civilization alive
You'd probably commit suicide
Before consumating with me.
Just cant stomach
Another year
Hanging around
Life on hold
With dim prospects
Electing to bury
My intergrity
In the sand.
I'm exhausted
With being
A convenience
Of a gum scraping
Bottom of the shoe
Obligation
A so called friend
Evaporated of meaning.
I've heard
There's a world
Beyond the blinds
And my navel
Besides waiting
For an imaginary call
That never rings
For a number given
Guess I was just testing
Your extraordinary powers
Of sensory perception.
When the truth
Instead of one sided
Assumptions emerges
After my time
In forced exile
Be forewarned
There may be no limit
To my spitefullness
For you knew
From our first exchange
I was a mess
For wanton desires
But instead of shooting
A flare to be rescued
You chose to drown
In emotional bile.
Shake of the head
Or a wry smile
At the debatable notion
We're made from
The same gristle and bone
It's not enough
To keep my hand in
When my heart
Is still agonizing
After leaving
You in the wind.
P 11 4 25
