Ah, A Good Man!
(En route to Hell) Among sinners, I am relatively good Yeah! I am one of the best Amidst the world’s wicked (Better an “F” than an “F-“!) Ah, yes! A good man am I (Comes natural, don’t have to try!); Just look at the fools all about me. Only the darkness do they see! At […]

Poor woman!
Poor woman! Needs someone to police! Children out o’ the house gives her no peace! Got to have somebody to monitor; Over someone got to be an arbiter. Comes from years of oversight Child rearing takes all your might! Well, I offer myself to be bossed (Yes, I’ve counted the cost: Bills unpaid and gettin’ […]

Dealing with People
Do you love truth, justice, and righteousness? “Good!” to those who answer, “Yes!” Now, do you hate that which contracts them? (I.e. lies, crime, and general wickedness?) Another good “yea!” due here. What do you do about him whom you love? You adore, nurture, and encourage him! And him (or the evil) whom you hate? […]

Cope with the Dopes
And how does one cope many-a year in prison Stuck in the presence of manifold idiocy? Patience with a view toward Providence: Indeed, our Lord, the God of all jails Who rules even amidst of the lawless gatekeepers And is able to console all with His Holy Spirit. Yes, the Lord of all is not […]

Isaiah (5:25f.) Redux
Their sin was a great amount And it was on this account That the anger of the Lord did burn; From recompense He would not turn (And they were, naturally, quite concerned). He stretched out His hand and struck ’em down No more! He wasn’t gonna mess around. The corpses were lyin’ in the streets […]

Sometimes You Pray . . .
(Ps. 104:35-105:7) Sometimes you pray for someone to die (Sorry, ’tis what it says if you read your Bi! Right in Psalm one-o-four, verse thirty-five.) “Let sinners be consumed from the earth! Better that they never had a birth!” O what a day it’s gonna be; No time left for drinkin’ that tea! Give some […]

A Damned Dem in the White House
Why a damned Dem in the White House? I mean, this POTUS is a piece o’ shit! Got not a lick o’ sense an’ got no wit; Givin’ all Americans a fit! Need to put a decent man in power; We’re losin’ moral ground every hour! Once a pagan gets control, Puttin’ derelicts on the […]

Concern for Fame
Concern for fame? Sounds kind o’ lame Given all that shame We all have in our sin, But I give it a think Even if I end in a stink. Not the undefeated state champ or Outstanding wrestler of the County; Not for takin’ Kathie Lee to the prom; Nor the siring of 11 model […]

Mad as a Dog with Rabies
(Isaiah 5:18f.) See ’em killin’ those babies? Mad as a dog with rabies! They keep draggin’ that iniquity Along with those cords of worthlessness. Got themselves, sho’nough, in a mess. “We want to see God DO something!” Say the blind who missed the rising of the Son (18) They can’t tell right from wrong! (20) […]

Finger Rings and Nose Rings
(Is. 3:32 – 4:1) Finger rings, nose rings Festal robes and tunics Many purses, undergarments, turbans and veils; Dressed up all pretty, but it’s all in vain. The Lord gonna bring ’em all some pain! Tellin’ you now, it’s gonna stink; Those balding heads will turn pink! (24) You know it’s sackcloth and ashes for […]

Poetry, That Form for Inditement
Poetry is the form for inditement I do enjoy producing Rather than the feds always losing, Flouting the grip they would have on me. How grand it is the Truth to put To music for others to the public to strut. Some enlightened publisher will smile And, pondering it for a little while, Will delight […]

A Confessional Prayer (for the common man)
Lord, you know it is I, The one You ought to despise, Your number one POS (Nothin’ to it but to say it and admit; I’m your number one piece o’ shit!), Back before You to declare my sin, Frail as a balloon lookin’ at a pin. Mighty glad You got the win When they […]

The Task
He didn’t die for nothin’. He died ’cause justice was due On me and you! Buck up and repent: Put on your big-boy pants; You got a testimony to bear And for other people to care. You know on His patience you wear If irritating Him you dare; So what is your over-all plan? Make […]

The Boycott of Kroger
May a boycott of Kroger go well; Such wickedness has help from hell. One wonders who was behind such folly To facilitate the murder of babies. But a voice of protest may awaken Fools who have justice forsaken, And mercy cast out the door, Facilitating the work of the whore Who would cover her sin […]

“The Court” Dumped Roe!
Well, “The Court” finally dumped Roe! Is that what you needed to know Before you could save a baby?Your mind and soul must be shady! Need a judge to authorize compassion? (A bomb, a match, and some action?) Who gave the command to love one another? Is not that one in the womb your brother?We […]
