Listening to WGUC
Michael Bray found his way To listen to WGUC all day. A Michael Grayson is the host; Got some skills, givin’ it the most. “Who is like God?” (the meaning of “Michael”) Keeps that classical in the right cycle. It’s the sound of music we want But no perversion must they flaunt (Talkin’ about that […]

O Sisters!
O for my poor sisters, who Took on the tri-syllabic affliction Of last names Pendergrass and Brunstetter! O for the loss of that simple mono-syllabic “Bray”! And yet, sisters, you must make a plea (In the name of women’s rights as necessary) To retain the simple and euphonic, “Bray”! Yes! Think, sisters, of the ink […]

He Listens to the Confessor
When you find yourself in a jam He’s better than you and I am In looks, wits and appearance. But remember at the Clearance Of all the fakery and façade When all are facing God, What will matter will be our deeds Righteousness and meeting people’s needs. You know He’s the Intercessor And He listens […]

Which is Worse?
Planned Parenthood butchers those babies. No doubt! Not even a “maybe”! Anti-life right to the core; Unwanted babies a chore. Just waste ’em if they’re in your way; You need not spoil your day Bothered by another life, Whether or not you’re a wife. So why do public schools Have anything to do with these […]

Abortion, Unlike Slavery, is Damned
Unlike slavery, abortion, is damned. Don’t confuse it with someone crammed Into a cage and fed quite sparsely. And though he may cry out hoarsely, He’s no where in as dire o’ straights As that baby flushed down the drain! Yeah, though he’s got chains on those ankles And may suffer whips as well rankles […]

That (Fallen) Human Nature
‘Tis the proclivity of human beings To denigrate one another Whether by slavery of the past Or “women’s rights” of the present Wherein we pay for another Our own child’s life to smother. We escaped the folly of slavery The heinous stealing of men Only to fall to the greater sin Of butchering helpless babies. […]

Many-a Beaten Penny
I find many-a beaten penny, Strolling the streets of Wilmington, Scratched and its glory erased By pavement sliding and scraping. O, what a drag on our coin, Unable for another to purloin, Out of the reach of the thief. But it gives us a little relief. One less item for another to lust And it […]

WGUC Ohio
I like WGUC Except when they talk about PP, Those killers of the babies. Sick, indeed, is any station Promoting such a situation As a woman or a man Calling for the death of his child Like some beast in the wild With no sense for what is right Blind to the God of day […]

The Pride of Man
(Is. 2:17f.) The pride of man will be humbled, His loftiness will be abased; Records of human glory erased. Folks will find a hole to stick their heads, Runnin’ crazy; won’t even make the beds! When the Lord brings it all down, There’ll be nothin’ but frowns. Since they failed to behave They’ll be runnin’ […]

To the Tune of “Water You Turned into Wine”
Verse 1 I think I just watered down wine ‘Twas nothing less than a crime; I did not mean it! Tellin’ you true. Into the house post a walk Before a word I could talk, I poured some water into a glass. Took a quick taste and was burned Into a frenzy I turned About […]

The Easy Name of Bray
Both my sisters took on the affliction Of tri-syllabic last names! Surely they have suffered great pain; T’was simple to indite that name, “Bray”! Four simple letters! An easy way To sign those papers or a check. But now, Oh! What the heck! B-R-U-N-S-T-E-T-T-E R !P-E-N-D-E-R-G-R-A-S-S! O, sisters, you got yourself in a mess! Sorry […]

How to Engineer the Production of Poetry
How does one engineer the production of poetry? Some prayer and contemplation, Music and some meditation. What do you say and to whom? You have always an audience in the Lord; (Unlike your friends, He never gets bored.) You pray, and then there is something to say. It may be about friends, travels or moods, […]

A Slice of the Joy
What to do about those babies dyin’? No standin’ aroun’ and cryin’! The likes of Beseda, Brockhoeft and Bray Say, “Hey, there ain’t no way!” When a “clinic bomber” goes to jail He’d rather be there than in hell (Not havin’ all that pain and steamin’; Plenty o’ heat and all that screamin’!) Time in […]

Liberty to Submit to Him
Yes, Messiah is imposed upon the Jews And the Muslims and liberals who snooze. In the name of religious freedom, All have the liberty to submit to Him, No matter the choice they voted Or to what false religion they’re devoted Their time talent and lives, Ignoring the Truth and swallowing lies. Dear husbands and […]

Overthrowing the Demonazi Party
When a Medal of Honor they give us, Rather than law suits, jail, and stress, The nation will be in revival (The key to its survival). But as long as it plays the fool Treating babies no better than stool, His hand over the land will pend, Ready judgment on the nation to send. Best […]

To the Ground
Piss off the wicked and arouse the just. That’s the way to live; it’s a must. Can’t sit back and be contemplatin’; Just leave the world harassed by Satan! We got that victory and got to march; Not about statues or a fancy arch. Our glory is in Him, our champion, Who died for us […]

An End to the Holocaust
(It happens. Rejoice!) Thanks be to God for those Who have worked so hard An end to abortion to bring, That we might rightfully God to sing Praise for our salvation. Deeds provide that confirmation That that Truth we declare Will not bring to us a snare. We know faith without works is dead But […]

A Station for Justice and Truth
I hope, WGUC, The truth you will see And never allow Planned Parenthood, Their filth, to air in our neighborhood. Babies they advocate to die As easy as eggs to fry Or swatting a fly! They bring those women in for a “choice” And deprive the little ones of a voice. (Lord, bring that “business” […]
