Jailed

Sensing some detention,
Shackled her anxiety,
Feelings in suspension,
Stolen her sobriety,
Thoughts, their comprehension,
Sentenced to her memory,
Flat, without dimension,
Jailed her mind with chemistry.

Dimmer every pigeon

Perception managers,
Behavioral consultants,
Family damagers,
Staging some repugnance,

Frontal lobe attack,
Numbing the incision,
Stilled our minds go slack,
Dimmer every pigeon.

Cooped within our station,
Under their submission,
Cooing as a nation,
Scripting their volition.

Calmly calamity

Calmly calamity,
In Christ we find,
Rivers of sanity,
Our peace His mind.

1 Corinthians 2:16 – “For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.”

Attacking words

Attacking words alone,
She voids them obsolete.
Policing minds for free
With logic incomplete.
Programmed by her TV,
On citizen patrol,
She’s a grammar drone,
Run by remote control.

Squared

We grid a prison in reverse
Shutting off a world of care.
Within its structure we immerse
Letter boxed to sit and stare.

Deep within the sanctuary,
A thousand points of colored light,
Silently and temporary,
Mind divided left and right.

Consciousness we all surrender,
Breathing in whatever’s aired,
Offered real to the pretender,
Hollywood that leaves us squared.

Shake and bake

Shiny shallow news cartoons
Shaking down our living rooms,
Keeping truth suppressed,
Baking us distressed.

Bottle

Bottle go and smoke it.

Stab at it and poke it.

Empty it and choke it.

Steadily provoke it.

Statutes holding on.

Weaker making strong.

Joining in His throng,

Right against the wrong.

(This poem inspired by Psalm 119:83 – “ For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.”)

Faith coming first

Faith coming first

The only foundation,

God presupposed

His proper station,

Reason then stands

Without negation,

His Holy Word

Rock of Salvation.

Out of

Out of thick darkness

Out of the cloud

Out of the fire

Spoken aloud

Written on tablets

Adding no more

His Ten commandments

For evermore

(The poem above inspired by Deuteronomy 5:22 – “These words the LORD spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more . And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.”)

Word in the head

By what He said        

Spoken a right

Word in the head

Muscles made tight 

Quickening dread

Just by His might

Raising the dead

God’s Word in sight
