Does the past really matter? Does it set you free? I'm absorbed in the sin, That is surrounding him and me. Lost in the curiosity, Cold to the touch. Drenched in the poison, With my dignity in his clutch. Feeling like I was cheated; I chose the evil instead of light. I traded in the sunshine, For what lurks in the night. I disobeyed his orders, I gave up security to be unsure. I went against the warnings, Gave into darkness instead of remaining pure. Once my bed was made of soft grass, But now it is made of stone. Was plump from all of the luscious fruit, Now I'm starving to the bone. My curse is one of circumstance. The punishment a crime, I'm stuck inside this dampened cave, For the rest of time. My world came crashing down, The grief has not subsided. My heart broke completely, When my sons collided. My misery a token, From the abandonment I earned. Upon the time spent in sorrow, There was a lesson to be learned. Have I found the moral? Only in time we shall see, For all I did was eat an apple- From the Knowledge tree.
Too hard for me to say goodbye For all apparent reasons why Even though we all know it must be Each heart will someday stop the beat When the rhythm of life, and silence, finally meet . Yet I always seem so surprised To find that death is part of life Knowing that regret, will now haunt my every rhyme The specter called "if only", will inhabit every line. Wish I could arbitrate a deal to have gained a little time Just one more talk with Sissy, to ease my guilty mind. . And the sun now sets on my regrets I gamble on time and lose each bet Thinking I'll move on and yet, here I set . . . Wishing for one more time One more pun One more smile That will never come . If I could just recall the things you said that mattered to you most. Memories un memorized That now I'll never know Years of conversation when I didn't pay attention Times I should have said I love you And somehow failed to mention . Then when you tried to tell me you felt your time was drawing near Your selfish little brother pretended not to hear. Even when you did your best, and tried to let me know You'd made your peace and you were ready, and that for you . . . It was simply time to go
I never knew following dreams could be this lonely, But up on the hill, looking back, thank God I'm not the old me. If the tears will fall, let them be; I believe this is God's plan, follow your dreams.
I was sitting on the back porch 'bout an hour after dark When I couldn't help but notice a tiny pulsing spark. I thought it was a firefly – It had that kind of glow But I'd never seen the likes of it – what it was I didn't know It flittered to and fro just like a firefly does I went into the backyard to determine what it was. Just as I approached the place I thought that it might be It flew right up and landed very close to me. Soon I realized it was no ordinary find. What happened next you won't believe – it nearly blew my mind. A Lilliputian creature stepped from this tiny craft Right then and there I was aware of questions I should ask. He must have been aware of the fear he'd caused in me. I could see my hands were shakin' -- never thought I'd be set free. His tiny voice became quite clear and in a most convincing tone He said, "My friend, be not afraid – I'm here all alone." He appeared to be confused a bit and why, I'll never know But the fear that he had fostered was about to let me go. He began to tell his story; I let out a sigh I knew I'd better listen to this little guy. Now, he was small in stature; 'bout a half inch, nothin' more – Why, I believe that he could pass through the space beneath the door. . He then began to tell me – It must sound like a dream. He was here because of some wayward sunbeam. "I race Haley's comet to the far side of the sun." He said, "The race is always over before it has begun. There is a reason for these victories, you see My good ship Omnipresence, right here in front of me." "Time and space," He said. "Are always at my command. I can do more things with them than man can understand." He said, "I spin the rings of Saturn, create firmament at will I flew a mission of atonement to a very special hill." I asked, "Do you know Jesus? He died upon that hill." He said, "When all things are settled, everybody will. I led three wise men to him that cold and wintry night The shepherds were there to witness a miraculous sight So you ask do I know Jesus? -- it fills me with such mirth -- This very craft was hidden there at the moment of His birth. I was there to hear the angels when they sang out on high. Yes, I'd say I know Jesus, That's why I'll never die." Written By John Posey 12/18/12
A little girl lost her home this year, for her, Christmas wouldn't be there. Her family was angry from all the troubles, they simply couldn't repair. Don't bother us about presents her parents said, they were depressed by their fate. With bitterness they said, you'd be lucky to have dinner tonight, or even a plate. Life was harsh, nowhere to go, anger and fear had put their souls, in a terrible place. The little girl had found no hope or joy, lurking near their old car, of late. The car was their home, gas money was scarce, and with few places they could park. Yes, their troubles had slowly extinguished, that precious hopeful spark. Without that spark, they'd never find their way, from this terrible place of cold and dark. And life's darkness grew deeper nightly, as hope vanished under a reality so stark. Even the very fiber of her family, seemed to be shattering slowly, slowly, apart. The child felt alone here in this dark car, as sadness tried to engulf her little girls heart. The future seemed filled with hopelessness, as shame and dread, were leaving their mark. Embarrassment to be seen and turned away, made it hard for them to reach out, to restart. But life goes on, and we can't fear to rebuild, or the future will be hard to impart. The girl suddenly declared there's more to life, and she wouldn't let it conquer her heart. She decided triumphs will come, and all will get better, if she held to that hopeful spark. Seeing the desolation and anger here, she couldn't stay around, she had to get away… So she climbed out of the car, and she walked into town, not so very far to stray. She went and looked at the store windows, where Christmas was being displayed. The music and people filled her heart, lifting her spirits, deep inside, that day. She noticed a store, way down at the end of the row, on the next block, where it lay. No one was there, it seemed lonely, and the darkness was again, spreading it's decay. She ran there in time to see an old man closing up, with sadness on his face betrayed. What use were his goods, if no one would shop, or come down along his way? The super store down the block, was daily making him lose more and more in the fray. He could no longer afford to hire people, and the season had very little time, to stay. As they talked the girl saw that she couldn't let the darkness take another, so she prayed. Then she told the old man, if he'd open the shop, she'd bring customers down his way. She added, she'd find reasonable workers, if her family could live upstairs, she portrayed. First bring the customers, he said, and the rest will be yours little friend, he conveyed. She had him put his best toys, as a contest prize, and to add lots of lights on the display. He set a contest, "Winners-the best collectors for families in need" on Christmas Eve. He put out a bright contest sign, but still nobody came to his end of the block, to survey. So she had him call the Salvation Army, for a kettle, Bell ringer, and Carolers, who came Lickety split, their way. Then she had him call a dear old friend, and farmer, to bring a tractor full of bails of hay. Another volunteered his horse and sleigh, both, to see the city lights thru New Years Day. This was a great idea, since the older drivers, could use the help, for their bills to pay. The girl ran all over spreading the excitement, and to come see the prizes, his way. The families suddenly started heading toward his door, and to those wondrous rides. At that moment her parents came, and she explained what her hope, had improvised. Her father talked a contractor into building a disabled family a home, to help advertise. He could get a tax break; come to this store for supplies, and hire unemployed workers, he devised, so wise. In the end, each night grew brighter, because of a girls hope, and heart-warming delight. And the old man began smiling for the first time, in a long, long, time, starting that night. All was saved, a home was found, and another built, as a sad little girl taught grownups to smile along the way… You might say, A Spark of Hope lit a candle, then a raging fire, which was burning bright by Christmas day. The moral to my story is: Never give up on Hope; it's your best friend, as life brings its troubles your way… Know that with time, a good heart, good will, and friendly ways… You can find God's gifts again, if you don't let the dark take you away…
Because tears are meant To be a symbol of strength Even in hard days.
God, my ears are open And I know what to do. Please help me to make a decision That finally leads to You.
Invisible chap Bearded egomaniac Probably not real
The warm light calls me And all the people who cries for thee I raise my hand in this abyss Only to make one wish To float among the others With all my sisters and brothers I call out for forgiveness with passion I take their pain into myself for this occasion The moment that I see the sky I will not look back and cry My body is laying still People standing by it with a chill The air gets dense with sadness I would not think of it less Some people look up and down To see the light hit the ground Some can vision the uplifting feeling they see One soul that has been and always be It is special to notice such aberration And that might be how souls are awaken
Omniscient guy Yet he lets bad things happen How can he exist?
Are You Happy With the Life You Have? Are you truly happy with the life you have? Or have you been discouraged and sad? Have the things in life brought you contentment? Or are you one who's often filled with resentment? The feelings you have, and the ambitions inside… Is there some trouble that you're trying to hide? Everything you have… God has given to you! His promises are true! And he'll never fail you! The happiness you may be seeking, you can find in him! You can find peace, hope and satisfaction within! Christ can bring a healing that you won't find! Won't you give him a chance? While there's still time? What profits a man if he gains the world, or loses his soul? Jesus loves you so much! More than you'll ever know! The opportunity is here, for you to take! Won't you give God a chance? For heaven's sake? By Jim Pemberton 10/14/13
Our love grows stronger, Even beyond the distance, Even beyond the days. I know you're with me always And I'm always with you; In God together we're together forever And physically we'll be together forever soon.
My heart is on Your shoulders, And You are lifting me up. With every spoken tender gesture, I fall a little farther in love.
I can act insane But DO NOT Make me feel worthless I belong in God's family He will bless my future generation Don't punish me for Being myself – Don't envy my glee I can act like an Adult, but I'd Prefer to have joy… Not stress… That piles upon us in our Everyday lives Being childlike is A rare beauty – No one prizes it… No one came across it… In this lifetime… I can laugh all day I can make you smile If you'd accept my Childlike dreams of mine Don't treat me like a sick swine Renew my young heart Give me the ability To kill the old man… I have my place in God's family He'll be adored and glorified We'll exchange prayers and hugs By my future generation I beg of you – Don't kill my childlike mentality I'll behave myself… I'm positively sure that I'll make you happy I'll still have pieces of a child in me And pass it on to my future generation…
The body: sacred We're all made in God's image Hence... circumcision?
My ancestors walking in the night using oil lights and moonlight for guides while being instructed to Wade in the Water to camouflage their scents like disguise The Sweet Chariot awaited so they could ride away Harriet was a soldier and it wasn't an option to be caught during the day That's the same mentality Nat Turner had when he sang Steal Away They would follow the drinking gourd so all were in accord to go north The Gospel Train was coming and at the end of the journey was a fine reward Freedom was coming and it was a long time coming and they walked until they heard freedom bells ringing and I still hear their tired footsteps running Thinking of My Darling Nelly Gray Stolen from my arms a random September day and eliminated our chances to run away together No family ties, no love, no strength says the oppressor Then I hear the drums beat in the darkness giving me the hope of finally being free Maybe I'll follow them this time on faith on bended knee There must be a place for me among the light of this darkness Among oppression, thieves, evil-doers no thought on their conscience Thank goodness for the safe houses that supported our traveled distances and for the conductors who bore witnesses and may God have mercy on the souls who were against this and on those who chose to forget this sh@! I still hear crying in quilts of safety because I know that the burden was heavy to be at the mercy of nature and patrol men catching run-away slaves for money Some did it bare feet with freedom ahead of this loved induced journey and they made it So all that bull about how your life is hard just stuff it in an envelope and save it
Just When It Seems Like Life Is Overwhelming! Just when it seems like I've faced my darkest night… And things in life, aren't turning out right… This is about the time, when things are falling apart! And I began to feel a lot of stress in my heart! I run to Jesus! I know that he wants to help me! He's always here! And promises to never leave me! He sees me, and speaks words of comfort, to follow! He reminds me, that he'll take care of today and tomorrow! He lets me know that he won't let go of my hand! Everything I'm going through… He understands! He turns back all of the problems that are overwhelming! And I see what things my life, are becoming! I have fellowship with Jesus! Like I never had before! He's given to me peace and hope! And much more! I'm glad I have such a wonderful friend like this! His love and joy… I don't want to miss! Thank you Jesus! For turning my life around! And for plating my life on a solid ground! You're all I want! And all that I've needed! With you as my Lord! My life has been completed! By Jim Pemberton
Stuck in the prison of my own life, I dodge behind these walls I built. And inside is a demon covered in guilt And shame so thick you can't see his eyes. God, please help me to see No matter what, You will always love and be with me. Thank You Father for everything. In Jesus' Name, We pray. Amen.
I have some choices to face, But these are not my decisions to make. God told me what He wants me to do; He said, "Listen, Son, I have a plan for you."
Eternal faith; Love in His name. Saved by grace; Never erased.
Follow your dreams and follow your heart; God has shown you the path to start. Never give up and always have faith; Do what you love and enjoy this place!
It's not the same without you; The days are rainy and the nights are blue. My heart is crying and God is too, But we are smiling, waiting here for you.
Like a cherry tree in the spring, God if this is meant to be, Please let this blossom.
It would be too easy to not believe And not have faith in all He wants us to see. But I don't want to risk my life being saved Because of a choice I was refusing to make.
Lord, I do not know what to do; Please, lead me by Your side. Decisions I'm facing are lost and through; Please, lead me to do what's right.
Where am I? Why is it dark? This isn't what I had in mind when I left the park… Why isn't the wind whispering…the songbirds singing? All I remember is a telephone ringing… A scream and a crash and a pain in my side… Is this what happens after one's died? I don't feel like myself, I feel wild and free, Yet I'm cold and alone, 'stead of filled with glee. My whole life I've studied, and pondered, and prayed, Trying to fathom what would happen this day But now that it's here, I'm beginning to fear Maybe the afterlife's not what it appears… It's certainly not what I've been told by my preacher Or my parents or brother or best friend or teacher… Is it a bad thing, or is it good? Maybe it's just not quite understood... While I was on Earth, I just couldn't wait To meet good St. Peter at the heavenly gate And ask him a question or query or two "What was my purpose?" "What good did I do?" "What's it all for?" "How does it all flow?" "Can I have one more body, one more try, one more go?" But where is the angel? Where is the gate? And If this is Hell, then where is Ol' Satan? Am I a lost soul? Am I forgotten? Am I to be left here until I am rotten? Lo and behold! what, now, can this be? Is this a wonderful spiritual epiphany? Is this the magical feeling all souls receive When they leave Earth? Oh! was I that naïve? How could I have not seen the realism? Why was I consumed in man-made idealism? This is more wondrous than all I was taught Oh, all the times I argued and fought With others, 'bout how their views were asinine Now I see, theirs were just as wrong as mine! Little I thought was actually correct! How, why, did I let others petty beliefs infect My untouched, my pure, my virgin mind? I regret all the hours I self-tortured to find That compared to what I see now, I was empty and blind… Wait - - What is this that I see? What is this gateway that is revealed unto me? Now a door is opened to my immortal soul I am expected now to enter my life's final goal… I am scared, intimidated, but still I am glad… For the truth I have just seen is anything but bad. This is the end of my journey, I've nothing to fear, For now I am going Beyond the Frontier.
I did it again; I need forgiven. Will He still forgive me even though I've fallen before? I've fallen into these same sins countless times before; I still haven't learned my lesson. I am an ignorant hypocrite. Am I still forgiven?
Turn on the love to motivate me; There's no energy on hand. When work to be done is shadowed by rest, Remember you were saved by a crucified man.
I cannot get into heaven God I have tried! Suicide is a double edge sword Especially when you survive! Walking the streets at night Dazed and confused Longing to be loved Wondering... When is Mum, coming for me? "Does she still love me?" "Does she still care?" "Does she still think of me?" "Does she wonder, where I am?" I want her to come find me I want her to say she 'loves me' I want her to comfort me I want her to take me home And keep me safe And not forget hat I exist Like the way she treats me now I wish God Could make my Mum Magically appear Making this hellish nightmare On the street Disappear! "Send my Mum please!" So, all this can end! Before this last ray of hope Diminishes for good! I don't want to become The walking dead Forever forgotten as if I was never born! For this is the cruel, harsh reality Of living life, feeling unloved Uncared for, abandoned, Left to fend for my own A dangerous killer inside me Eating away, at my soul Something, no one can see As I suffer in silence My insides crippling! Lost, alone and frightened Weeping on a dirty Graffiti park bench Dirty tears Rolling down my cheeks Stuffing newspapers under my jumper To keep myself warm "What am I going to do?" "Will I make it through the night?" "Will I get raped and beaten?" "Will I be left for dead?" "Will I survive To see another day? "Is my life worth living?" Please God, I beg of you Have mercy now Please show me the way!
Send me to the darkest places; That's where I feel You strongest. A kiss and hug down the deepest alleys; Never letting go, Your love is the strongest.
Now I'm just a failure Too afraid to make a mistake. I've already been there, Stuck in a route that leaves no breaks. What is Your plan for me Father? At once I thought I knew. Now I'm disillusioned; Please bring me back to You.
Listen to the buzzing, in your ears, Listen to the humming, of your fears, Listen to the baby, crying inside, Listen to the pleading, in your lover's eyes. Listen to the music, you have never played, Listen to the sinner, who's never been saved. Listen to the empty, silence of your mind, Listen to the whispers, of man kind. Listen to the never, heard nor seen, Listen to the listener, who has never been. Listen to the monkey, you know you really are, Listen to the wise man, who's never been that far. Listen to the dying, crying man, Listen to the bottle, buried in the sand. Listen to meaning, you never really meant, Listen to the letter, you never really sent. Listen to the lovers, who loved another one, Listen to the brothers, torturing their mum. Listen to the noisy, who never say a thing, Listen to the silent, crying deep within. Listen to the never, ever really said, Listen to the dead man, laying in his bed. Listen to the flying, dying man, Listen to the solid, only made of sand, Listen to the night time, they told you that was day, Listen to the meaning, they stole an took away. Listen to the singer, who never made a sound, Listen to the thunder, in the lightning cloud. Listen to the voices, you never hear within, Listen to the last train's whistle, whistling.
An angel came! Nights in black and white, My mind keeps drifting from side to side. Wondering in my mind about the voice I heard, At my bedside an angel came. "Be patient," The voice said; I heard it so clear, yet so discreet. To hear a strange voice whisper into my ear, It made me scared, and it made me fear. Fear from God who heard my cry, Begging for mercy, to save a child. Praying to all angels to keep her safe The mother of my children, my soul mate. This is a sign for me to know, That God is with me, and I am not alone. Thank you God for this sign you gave me, To remind me that there is a God up there and to be patient. I'll keep my faith every time I'm down, With my forehead touching the ground.
Where Will I Be Tomorrow? Where will I be tomorrow? That's my question! I continue traveling on… Seeking my life's "mission." There are many roads, and journeys to go on. I'm trying to find out, where I really belong. There are many choices of what to do and see… There's both good and bad waiting for me! But, there is a God who called out my name. When I heard his voice... To him, I came! He gave me a promise! A 100% guarantee! He promised to forgive my sins, that I may be free! I will spend today and tomorrow with him! I'm going to take time, and get to know him! I'm here today! I don't know what tomorrow will bring! But I can trust Jesus! To take care of everything! Where will I go? I know where I will be! Spending time with my Lord! For eternity! By Jim Pemberton
I cry myself awake In the middle of the day Because of a decision I made Not to spend time with you. And now everything I am Is falling apart into pieces; I feel like I am losing you Because I am losing myself.
Everyone telling me where to go: Turn left, Turn right. I don't even know who to listen to anymore; I don't even know who I am anymore. God, please speak to me And tell me where to go And show me what to do Because Your voice is drowning out in the madness Or maybe I am just refusing to listen.
Singing around in love; Smiles built from the ground. Holding hands in the dance; Laughing with brothers and sisters, All in His Glorious Name. Throughout His perfectly sculpted land: Look around because this is it; Look around because this is love; Look around and know, understand, comprehend, Rejoice because you are perfect; You are God's beautiful children!
I know you see me from up there, from halfway up the steep and twisting lane. In early half-light as you take your walk I no doubt seem to loom as you descend, appear to grow, to rise from earth, my boxlike rectilinearity, severe and unadorned geometry, a silhouette against the solitary sodium source. I once hosted fiery-throated hymns from dedicated souls in Sunday best: "Marchog, Jesu, yn llwyddiannus", "O! Iesu mawr, rho d'anian bur" – voices rich and raised and resonant, so filled with faith, so gorged with God. My pitch-pine pews were polished by coat and skirt and trouser twill. Abandoned now, unloved, slab-still, void and stark and desolate, with quarry-tiled floor that would resound with joy were anyone to walk upon it, I present gaping emptiness, a thing felt, a cave whose darkness, palpable, is peopled by retreating echoes of my past, like timorous ghosts far too afraid to speak. But there is One I must not name who lodges in my roomy quarters, cowers within my tight square corners, seeking shadows when the sun stares in. I hear Him breathing as He sweats in His remorse, a thing smelt, hiding from the accusing gaze of His forlorn creation.
Why am I so selfish? Why do I live for the wrong things? I am dying inside Because I refuse to see the light. I need to say yes, But I still haven't learned that yet. I am a fool, And I am hurting you. If I would let go of myself, I would hold on to you.
Crown of Thorns A trace of thorns you are on my body, I am an eternal traveller, never stopping. You are the bitter predicament of my comfort, Traces of sensual pleasures - The mist of a veil is my constant reminder. You wound the stubble of my heartly thorns, I stand alone on the dusty conflagration Gazing towards an endless void, I am bridled with the burning pain of the thorns... My gaze tirelessly roves, Prickly are the thorns, With malediction entwined... I am drowning in a sweaty torrent, I am plunging into thorny depths, bloody and overworked from the struggle, I yield myself to the decision of fate.
It's simple. We make it much more complicated than it is; Just live.
An earthly existence A universe beyond my minds, comprehension I die I rise Life lessons reviewed Homeward bound I am not lost, after all! I am a willing participant Serving, the Father, of all creation His son combined, 'producing life' as we know it Representing them, in everything I do I am nothing, without Love! My heart full of faith, loyal service I give Learning how to unconditionally serve, as the Father unconditionally, loves me Worshipping our Divine Creator's existence Choosing to live, moment to moment Being as one with 'Our Universal Father' No physical permanency My physicality, disappearing My mortality existence, I let go of Death temporary My spirit alive! Relief, Peace 'I am only passing through!' A unique, experience of mortality A gift, I am blessed to experience, to live!
I'm a mess. I've ruined this body You've designed; I've ruined this heart You've shined; I've ruined this breath You've shared; I've ruined this life You've cared. I've demolished this freedom You've given, Yet You give it to me again. Time and time around I have failed You; Weak and falling trying to please You. Earning I cannot for this is a gift from You. Please forgive me; Please save me: You've picked me up and brushed me off; Thank You for redeeming me. Thank You for redeeming a sinner like me. I have fallen once again. I'm a mess, But You forgive me. You save me Time and time around, Eternally, You brush me off and pick me up. Thank You for redeeming me. Thank You for redeeming a sinner like me.
The world needs You, Lord; We all need You too. Alone, we battle and fall apart, But we live joyful freedom with You: Created anew in Your perfect image; Saved, Loved, Changed, In Your Holy Name! We pray, Amen!
The Cowardice of the Taliban and The Silence of The Good Muslims. When hot lead tears the flesh of a 14 year old girl, ripping through her skull, leaving her to bleed out and die, does Allah not recoil in horror, to see His child whimper, to see His daughter cry. Where is the indignation, the anger that often boils over and manifests itself as flags and books and videos are burnt in mass orgies of hollow piety, where are the voices that scream so loud, that denounce all but their own creed, where are the men, the impotent men who crave for nothing more than their fascist egos to feed, where are the voices that so loudly proclaim, enemies here and enemies there, always quick to condemn, where are those voices when the enemy walks amongst them. 14 year old Malala Yousafzai was shot in cold blood, her crime? Advocating the rights of girls to an education. Shame on you, men of bigotry and men of cowardice. Shame on you, silent and mute accomplices in this carnage. Shame on me, for my inaction, Shame on us all, who proclaim lofty ideals, yet are conspicuously silent, when a 14 year old girl is shot in the head, by fascist fundamentalist bigots who only worship bullets of hot lead. Not in my name! Not in my name, shall the cowardly men rain down abuse, Not in my name, shall the bigoted men light the communalistic fuse, Not in my name, shall Malala Yousafzai be shot in the head, left to bleed out, while countless mothers' tears are shed, not in my name, shall religious murderers, be left to wander free, not in my name, for I dare all believers to open their eyes, to see! To see, the innocence of a 14 year old girl, wanting only an education, as the men of the cloth, prance around with their pathetic self-righteous indignation. I write this today, the anger raging in my veins, yet I fear, that I shall write more of this, unless we stand up and say 'no more', I fear that I shall be writing this again, until we all, reclaim the true principles of humaneness, until we silence the voices of bigotry, of rage, of fanatical insanity, I fear I shall be writing this again, and, until the muck-ridden bile, is not excised, I shall continue to say, NOT IN MY NAME! Or else I shall have nothing, but my unending shame. (for Malala Yousafzai, 14 years old, in a critical condition after being shot in the head by the Pakistani Taliban, for her work as a young activist advocating the rights of girls to attend school)
I am a hypocrite and look what I just did: I fell into my darkest pit; now, again, and again. I thought that I was strong enough to live the truths I said; Now I realized I'm much too weak; a fool too ashamed to raise his head. God, please save me, please forgive me, and please give me strength. I love You. I thank You. I am forever changed.
Feel the peace again Inside your beautiful soul. Trust in the Lord all your heart; With Him, He makes you whole!
I Knew Someone Who Was Ready to "End It All!" I knew of someone who just wanted "to end it." Giving up on life, and did not want to "defend it." It was a heart wrenching and difficult situation. He said what he wanted to, with no explanation! I could see his face and the sad look in his eyes! What he was going to do next, was anyone's surprise. He turned to drugs and encountered addictions. With this brought much disease and afflictions! He gave up on the wonderful family that was given. And turned to a pretty wild and crazy way of livin'! I told him about a God who loves him very deeply. As he listened, he began to grow restless and weary. I reached for his hand and began to pray for God's power! It was a miracle! The blood of Jesus changed him that hour! The spirit of God brought healing and hope to his body! He was so excited! He rushed out to tell everybody! The "end" that he wanted, seemed to just fade away! For the son of the living God, changed him this day! The glory of God, and the power of Jesus' resurrection… Changed him! And got him going in a NEW direction! He's so thankful for the blood of Christ' atonement! And is a different person now, because of that moment! This same Jesus loves and can do the same for YOU! Through the problems of life… He will see you through! By Jim Pemberton
The water. It ripples and waves. Its soothing to the touch and it runs over your body like an invisible blanket. When life is too much to take I run to the water. I've thought about lost loved ones over the view of the ocean. As the waves ran over my toes and pulled back it was as if God was telling me I'm here. I see your pain. I see your passion. In time I will wash them away. When it rains, it stirs something inside of my heart. I know that as this storm shall pass, so will the trials of life. The pain will be washed away. All will grow new again. Pain is water. Joy is water. Life it water. Water is beauty.
I don't need any money, I don't need fancy shoes. I don't need to buy happiness, 'Cause all I need is You. I don't need expensive clothes, I don't need things to choose. I don't need five-star meals, 'Cause all I need is You. I'm smiling here so wide; I feel like I'm brand new. Today is the start of something big 'Cause all I need is You. My soul is eternally fulfilled; My heart is being led through. I don't need anything else, 'Cause all I need is You.
This is not going to be easy; No one ever said it was. We're going to have to be strong now 'Cause God doesn't give up.
My eyes Witness your departure My eyes Are dripping with hopelessness… My eyes start to blur… Melancholy put me under pressure… Is there a cure to my disease? You don't see The shards of hope that once brought us back together Just let me search for safety I'm strong enough to realize that I'm no longer The weakest prey out there… And I'm left in my solitude… Do you hear me whimpering like a distraught puppy left on the train tracks? I'm close to my demise…save me and take me home Nourish me…and be my beloved friend Will this friendship last forever? Hopefully it has no end Will this cheerful moment help us get along with each other? Because of you…I feel the need to run I keep an eye on you – I worry that you'll hurt yourself again Because of you…My freedom is nearly gone I don't wanna be caught off guard again Because of you…EYE can't picture a solution for our vexing dilemma Because of you…eye can't focus on my long-term goal And I'm left in my solitude… Do you sense that I'm giving in to failure? And I'm close to my demise… Only to find myself disappear…I can't endure The hardships that you place upon me… Could you boost up my confidence to overcome My atrocious anxiety? I'm just waiting for some sun To keep me in good hands… To strengthen me with perseverance … I'm just waiting until His son Leads the world outtah Egypt and reveals to us… His radiance…His dazzling Kingdom – Vibrant with glee Your undying sympathy dawns upon us I'm overflowing with indescribable joy You're a candle in the night… We meet eye to eye… What a sight…what a precious sight
Peace The chaos is shedding Piece Of happiness is floating Cease The madness..chaos is concealing Peace Comes from the Lord - To Him who mends us all... To Him who forgives all of our sins And downfalls And answers everyone's calls
The signs are here, for all to see, The thunder clouds, the dying tree. The shining lights, that draw you near, Loud heavy music, in your ear. By word of mouth, or through cyber space, The hidden pictures, of your face, The northern lights, are dancing south, The rumours you hear, by word of mouth. The sign are falling, from the sky, Raining stars, on the passers by, While the battle rages, on underground, The innocent dying, without a sound. The cries of heaven, the screams in hell, That no one hears, down in this well, The terrible beauty, the open wound, The innocent babies, in open tombs. For all to see, for all to hear, The blind man's painting, the deaf man's ear. The birds are falling, the fishes drowned, What once was up, has now become down, The tender and loving, an empty shell, The gross and the ugly, now the rallying bell. The signs are here, for all to see, Titanic sinking, on a blood red sea. More poems at http://labyrinthoflies.com
Today, it just doesn't seem fair That we are still able to breathe. They have given us their air- Our duty to lead the life they leave.
There was a woman, alone and afraid... Her husband left her… She felt betrayed! I remember seeing her look of despair… Was there anyone who really cared? This was a very difficult situation. A lot of heartache and frustration! I remember seeing her at church before. But no one sees her anymore! People would pass her by, Seemingly, not concerned… Even though things in her life, had taken "the wrong turn." Aren't we to help the widows and single mothers too? This is what God's word asks of me and you! As the body of Christ... We should serve one another. Reaching out to the widow and single mother. We must let them know they're not forgotten! Before their lives hit "rock bottom" This is a command Christ Wants us to do! He'd do the same for ME and for YOU! By Jim Pemberton
Do We Share the Hope Christ Gave Us? The Bible says to "give reason of the hope within us." But too often, we drag a lot of weight beneath us! Christ wants us freely to share his hope with others! We need to willingly share his love with another! How will others have hope? Unless we share it? Christ told us to pick up our cross, and bear it! We need to be his example, in the world's madness! We need to do it from a heart of joy and gladness! We needn't be ashamed of the work God has done! All glory and honor should be given to his son! He gives joy unspeakable! And the half hasn't been told! May we be an expression of his joy! Both young an old! Let's bless the lord! In what we say and how we live! He's patient with us! And so willing to forgive! Please come Lord Jesus! And take self pride away! Bring your holy conviction, and give us the words to say! This may seem odd! And to many… Old fashioned! Stir our hearts to share with a godly compassion! Please come Jesus! And stir our hearts, from within! That we would love to tell others about YOU! Our best friend! By Jim Pemberton
The Preaching of the Gospel Is An Offense! Scripture says the preaching of the gospel, is an offense to the lost. Christ' followers should share HIS news! No matter the cost! It seems like many in church are walking in a spirit of fear. Many would just rather live a life that's "happy and secure." "Why tell others of God's salvation?" This may offend! Why, it may even cost them to lose one of their "friends!" Many don't know enough of God's word to share to another. They have a hard enough time loving their sister or brother! God help us! For the many who Who claim to be Christ' believers! Many have listened to the lies of the great deceiver! Rather than being the person to preach the gospel this hour… Many don't seek the Lord's wisdom, strength or power! Ball games seem to have replaced a need for prayer… Why witness to the lost? Is there anyone who cares? It's no wonder why we live in a confused generation. As many families don't have Jesus as their foundation! The gospel of Jesus Christ is the best news around! It needs to be spread to every city, village and town! May we all be stirred to preach the good news today! And be stirred with the words that Christ has to say! Whosoever will, come and drink of the life he gives! And live by HIS gospel! Each day that we live! By Jim Pemberton 09/18/13
My heart is beating with upbeat delight You astound me…in every shape and form My spirit is dancing with unbreakable might You surprise me…when you take my hand And pull me outtah my jail-like dorm And He dismisses me from my solitude… My eyes are glistening with bliss… And I'm far from my demise… Only to find that there's no need to feel helpless Why do you spoil me rotten with your fatherly affection? Just protect me from any harm Let me make my own decisions… To see the results in the long run You prize me as if I'm cherished like your carefree child You don't understand – I'm TOO foolish and wild I haven't even reached to full maturity But how eye hope to see myself grow and be set free From the world's mayhem Is there a solution to this problem? And I'm left with no answer… My eyes are eager to see…another bright day And the night is coming to haunt me… I find myself slowly disappearing from sight… When will God give me a purpose to fight? When will He feed me His awesome might? Just support me…especially during my downfalls Please answer my calls! And I'm left to venture off into His path… Eye can't escape my terrible nightmares Consider my calls of acceptance…my grief weighs a ton Let me pour forth my tears – Do me a favor and cast away my fears Steer me away from disorder and confusion Eye can see you're making great progress You're heading towards a brighter, superb future… My eyes No longer witness oblivion My eyes Looks beyond the earthly pain… bEyOnD the affliction I spot a rope in the distance. . . . . Push aside the waves…and let me Grab it this instant! God feeds me His love…and treats me Like a newborn infant! Eye see my Father with brand-new eyes I feel rare content And I feel hardly any resentment Eye cherish that REMARKABLE moment
That's the amazing thing about love: Love doesn't matter who it melts together, 'Cause He will never give you up.
The innocent child still crying, That you nailed up on your wall, Her tears are freely flowing, As the autumn leaves do fall. The wind of time still blowing, Across the lonely way, As the soldiers march to battle, On this bright and sunny day. I couldn't get the words, To leave my knotted throat, I couldn't get my loved ones, To leave the sinking boat. I couldn't think the thoughts, That could protect me from the light, Couldn't see your beauty, Hidden in my night. And now the end is coming, Riding on the wind, To blow away illusions, To blow up everything. The riders horse is thunder, The swords are flashing high, As the angels of destruction Fall from the darken sky. A million times I told you, Whispered in your ear, A million blessing hidden, Behind the demons of your fears. The innocent lamb is bleeding, As the lightening flashes by, The autumn leaves still falling, From the sadness in your eye. more at http://labyrinthoflies.com
Blasphemy…cloud over their hearts of gold Their value gradually diminishes…their weapons turn to mold Serenity…deserted them and neglected them like orphans Their joy rapidly wears out…they mislaid their abundant portions They yearn, "RESTORE the walls of Jericho!" Anguish…shadows over their dwelling, sacred place Their weaknesses manipulate them – they're the definition of disgrace Danger…defeats them and tarnished them as if they were worthless Their prosperity shattered straightaway! REBUILD our merriness! They plead and pray, "Dona nobis pacem…" Hear our hesitation and supplication…we're beneath the bricks and remains We're buried alive literally! We're becoming one with the ground Fear and despair erases our soothing dreams…we're getting washed away in the drains We're searching for shelter…we're getting hunted down – we're barely surviving They churn… They coil… They drift away… They spoil… In their miseries… Does He hear their pleas? "SAVE ME!" "Bestow blessings upon us!" Are you ignoring us deliberately? "Give us a helping hand And lead us to the promise land!" Misfortune unravels in this city of bafflement Their strengths repaired our souls…we're the definition of bravery! Desolation and disbelief demolishes the walls of Jericho… Does anyone sense their resentment? Their charity transformed to greed suddenly – Their lack of optimism and gratitude Buried them down in captivity How can you bear their poverty? How can He save them from destruction and pity? They whisper on His Holy Hill, "Dona…Nobis…Pacem…" Don't let the battle overthrow 'em!
When that feeling rushes in- I don't know what to do with my life- I need to search from within And look up toward the light.
Father, Do not let me be the demon I have created me to be. I am the product of myself and my negativity. I trust You. I love You. I thank You. In Your name, We pray, Amen.
"I don't know where to go, And I don't know what to do." Turn all your worries out to God; Trust Him, And He will lead you through.
We're here to love all God's people No matter who they are. Brightness still shines in shallow roots, Even if the world thinks they've fallen too far.
I think I was an astronaut Aimed for the stars. They fill me up; They refuel my tank. They enable me to believe, Telling me to never give up As they follow me all of my days. If only we could see the beauty That they truly are. They shout out dreams That we can reach so far. Climb into the rocket And liftoff! On a journey to discover ourselves, We are taught so much more, Learning our goals are only a plan away. Even thought we must return, I know that I will be back. I am an astronaut, And we always reach for the stars.
If they ask me how I did it, How I got here today, I will love and laugh and smile And say, "It took a lot of faith."
Don't worry, don't worry; Give yourself rest. Release fear and struggles, And He'll take care of the rest.
We cannot give up; We still have life to live. The hike may not always be easy, But the view must be seen to believe.
I am living the dream. I stand here today, Cannot believe what I am about to say, But I am living the dream. At times, it's tough And it is not always easy. I might be condemned For choosing this path in life; Some may think it's too bag of a risk. When we give it our all, Our passion and our might, We can overcome and forget the fear To become who we are meant to be. I stand here today, Another tear ready to wipe away: You can do all you aspire to do! Set your mind and never give up! If I can do it, You can too! I can't believe I'm about to say this, But I am living my dreams. I am living the dream.
We were taught to shine bright, But where's the light when we condemn? Where's the light when we judge? Where's the light when we don't love?
I wish To demolish my sorrow… I wish To forget the despair and gleefully grow… To forgive and seek the challenges of tomorrow… My downfalls and my failures… I wish To disappear I wish I had no fear… For God's near… I wish I could be a cheetah in the grassland I wish To store all of my energy for an evening run…I'd never give up in the process I wish My whole spirit could simply sponge in God's nature and make great progress And I truly wish I could stick to my daily plans of building a sturdier relationship with God I wish I had the merriness in my life especially during hardships… My countless wishes Brings me down to my weakest point… My countless wishes Overthrows me…but it helps me in the long run… I wish I could forgive My daily regrets and breakdowns I wish I could forget My despondency – embracing my frowns I wish To live a life without error Without a care I wish To be flawless when I make my everyday decisions And scare away The darkness that tries to make me give up I wish I had more time to overcome… These waves of emotions My countless wishes Brings me down to my disheartened state… My countless wishes Are like walls from every direction closing in on me… But it's a convenient tool in the future… I wish I could be live in someone else's shoes… But what good would it do? Would it lead me to the narrow pathway? Would it inspire me to push all of my doubts away? Would it push away the blues? Could He give me any clues?
In the future looking back, You'll be happy to see How far you've come And where you are today, So make the most of this now.
Are We Being Driven to God's Elimination? In the names of diversity and anti-discrimination. It's like we're being driven to God's elimination! God is being "forced" from many institutions! All in the name of this country's constitution! We're told that God and this country must be "separated." Anything less is what many would call; "discriminated." Any forms of Godly virtues or values are "torn down." Any symbol of a cross, is often "removed from the town." It's no wonder that this country's in such a big mess! And yet this country wants to be strong and blessed? "What shall the righteous do if the foundations are destroyed?" Meanwhile, the tide of ungodliness, is often "enjoyed." Those who are trying to remove God! You must beware! His judgment is soon coming! And will catch you unaware! There's will come a day! When God's wrath you will endure! The wages of sin is death! This is very true and sure! People may think that removing God is the "thing to do." Anyone who attempts to do will wind up as "a fool." Only God can fill the void in life and true love within! Only he has the power to free your soul from sin! The words; "in God we trust," in our lives must be applied! Everything we'll ever need… God has supplied! God is this country's hope! It's only true foundation! We need HIM right now! To come and heal our nation! By Jim Pemberton
God Is Awesome and His Beauty Displayed! God is awesome and his beauty displayed! He's my protector! I've no reason to be afraid! God is wonderful! And his glory never ends! He is my Lord! My provider and friend! God is magnificent! And his glory is real! Behold the God of Abraham, Jacob and Israel! God is omnipresent! He's wherever I go! His son Jesus, has totally cleansed my soul! He's the reason that I am here today! I love him much more, than words can say! He's the reason why I can face tomorrow! He's removed my pain, guilt and sorrow! His word is my guiding light as I travel on. It shows me what is right.. And what is wrong! He put his love, like a shield around me! I once was lost, but his spirit found me! He's given to me his faithfulness! Forever true! And spoke to me; "I'll forever LOVE YOU!" He's my rock, my hope and salvation! Through Jesus, there is no separation! He can be your God too! Why not come to him? Through Jesus, is where a new life BEGINS! By Jim Pemberton
Without wings here I stay On broken wings I try to fly My hardest to reach heaven In the blue painted skies The more I attempt The more I fail I fall each time Laying on the ground My pride is hurt Laying here in the dirt Where did I go wrong? Is this the punishment? I know I deserve it For a life of sin My life story where shall I begin Leading myself astray While I am on my knees perhaps I should pray Ask for a second chance A third chance A fourth chance I lost count of the chances I have been given So when it is my time to fly Access will be denied I must find a new way home Before the gates close And I am left on the outside looking in Dirty from this life Bathe in this sin Free choices I have made Shall I lay down my hopes and desires? Before taking a dip in the lake of fire
How safe is America? Despite horrific shooting crimes that breaks out in USA , it must be said, that America is not a violent country. In most small towns and bigger ones too, it is possible to walk down your street in peace. Therefore it must be made clear, before we hunker down in the potato cellar, that the atrocity we have seen is an aberration and not a norm. It is only a year ago when a crazed Norwegian went around killing 66 children at a summer camp. If you want a gun it is available to get wherever you live. Yes, gun control is vital, not only for America, which notwithstanding the horror we feel, still a safe country.
He is pessimist's prime, Developing and enveloping our entire minds. We shatter ourselves just to see him succeed, But realize with him, we have nothing we need. So it's time to break the spell he cast, And pray to God his work won't last. I thank God for He is always here Because without Him and with fear, No cup and no cheer, For our end would draw near.
I don't know if it is too soon To speak those words that hold so true. This message, I feel, will pull us through; I just want to say, "I love you."
As more perverse lifestyles are glamorized on t.v. I wonder what kind of country this is going to be? You'll often find on the news interviews of various kinds… Entertaining more garbage to "dump" into our minds! The garbage and filth they're often promoting…. They think this same kind of life, I should be "enjoying?" There's something very wrong with this picture! I don't need the news to give me a "moral lecture!" This may sound old fashioned and absurd… It's time we all come back and obey God's word! It's the word of God! Not the news, we need for instruction! Without God's truth in us, we're headed for destruction! God still loves you very much! And he hasn't forgot… You're always on his mind, and his thoughts! He's what you need to focus your attention and depend on! He is someone who's faithful, and you can count on! Won't you walk away, and leave the filth behind you? And allow God's love and mercy to reach out and find you? He will never disappoint you! With a brand new way of living! An abundant life with peace and joy…. Is what he's giving!

Holy books says it all You taught me how to crawl This will never change Never ends never fades Dear God where you are? Shattered piece of childish dreams This will never change Never ends never fades. I can fight for all my life, Not broken, not broken inside Never be so frustrated, Not going to commit suicide. Fuc*ing faith will fall, Mortals will stand tall Hell and heaven are all the same Live your life, don't die in vain Only you and I can make A better world for tomorrow Have faith in yourself And wipe off the tears of sorrow Make me scream, Make me cry I'll never fail to try. This night's has an end No pain will remain
There is no power in death, great enough to stop youth. From what must be done, souls taken one by one. If God should stand in the way, clear the path you will go away. Should I contend with this power, no choice it is the devils hour. When the wicked rule in time, deception reigning of crime. There will be a stand instead, where I gather the vengeful dead. Amongst in Hell that we cower, our vengeance will grow louder. Strong enough in legions, numbers increasing regions. Then the wicked will fear, what is about to come near. No where near closer to home, inside Hell's nightmarish tomb.
There Shall Come A Great Tribulation! You'll find In the Bible... In the book of Revelation. One day... There shall come a great tribulation. There shall be famine and war this world has never seen. "Satan's fury" being poured out upon everything. The Antichrist will appear as "the world leader." "The man with all of the answers." "A great world healer." People won't be able to buy or sell without a mark on their hand. While corruption and wickedness prevails throughout the land. Our only hope and answer during much chaos and anxiety. Is Jesus. In HIM we can have life abundantly! This world shall one day perish and pass away. God's truth and his word are here to stay! Come to Jesus now... He invites you to come. Accept the gift of eternal life from God's precious son! He's our only hope in this world which we live. He is so patient and kind... willing to forgive. Will your name be in God's book of life someday? Are you ready to meet him on judgment day. This world... or Jesus... the choice by you must be made. The price for your soul... on Calvary... has been paid! By Jim Pemberton
If we break life down into small little victories, It won't be long until the battle is over, And before we know it, The war will be won.
Wise beyond my years Only afraid of fear Rarely ever shed a tear And I only hear what I want to hear Would you believe me if I told you the end is near? I predicted the fall of the century I watched our prosperous culture fall apart, pitifully But we can't let our remains lie on the ground We must build our future up from this very soil and dirt Just like the Almighty God made us The thorns will cut, the rich are rich, and hope the poor get help And the truth will always hurt The veins will bleed, the children will cry, and the dogs will yelp Yet our voices will always be loud My righteousness is the fine line between death and the passing of this blockade I'm serious in this situation, I'm not playing charades My righteousness is the horn of this war, the crack of that belt Yelling the victory screech as I watch the enemies melt My righteousness will one day be yours And may yours be theirs; the future of us 12/19/14
Satan Wants Me to Be Destroyed And Defeated! Satan wants me destroyed and defeated… So God's will in my life, won't be completed He wants to see me "up against a wall." And wants to be there, when I "stumble and fall." He wants for my life to "crash to the ground." And he doesn't want any help to be around! He wants my life to come to a "screeching halt." And then try to tell me, it's all of my fault! He wants to see every good thing to be destroyed. He doesn't want God's truth to ever be employed! He'll twist the truth into any way that he can! Anything of God… He doesn't want me to understand! He wants to corrupt what I'll do and say! And wants to take everything wholesome away! I need to listen and trust Christ to overcome! I can do it, through the blood of God's son! With him as my Lord, Satan will have to flee! I seek the blood of Jesus to daily protect me! A invite you Jesus to complete your will in my life! And ask for your blessings upon my family and wife! I seek Jesus! Behold his awesomeness and power! Jesus is the victor! Satan is defeated this very hour! Thank you Jesus! For redeeming my soul! Because of your shed blood… Satan has to go!!! By Jim Pemberton
Warriors are no longer raging, Women are no longer singing. Firelight prances inside Seth's eyes, dancing over Giza he cries: "Fire! Fire! It will find you all Even those who refuse to fall, So even if you escape my deadly chant Your ashes shall lie where living things aren't. "If you would try to save the day, It will be hell you'd have to pay. I shall breathe my fatal breath Upon those of you who run from death. "Your pharaohs shall kneel before me crying To be set free without you all dying, But my deserts remain hot as ever And none can escape - not even the clever. "Only the faithful to me shall be spared, So yes, the ones who have never cared. They'll ball their fists and bare their teeth at Ra!" "Forever obeying me." By Leanne Walsh 04/20/2014 (MM/DD/YY)
David and Goliath When David heard Goliath bring God's name disgrace. He wondered if any man would challenge him, face to face. All the men in Israel were scared, and not this brave. For if they lost, they'd be the Philistines' slave. King Saul wondered if anyone would challenge this man. David accepted—knowing this was God's land. With a small stone he chose from a river bed, He faced Goliath, with God placing the stone into his head. Perhaps there's a GIANT in your life that's causing you fits. Your trust must be in Jesus. This--you must admit. Lust, anger, pride— whatever your giant might be. Defeating this giant, with God's help, will bring you the victory! By Jim Pemberton
Tonight, I did it. Tonight, I found it. Tonight, I discovered it. Tonight, I raised my hand. Tonight, I am new. Tonight, I am brand new again. Tonight, I raised my hand.
It's true, I have absolutely no idea who I am. Lord, please show me Your way. I give myself up to You. Use me.
Lately, I have noticed a very disturbing trend. Many people wish for their life to end! There are many circumstances that bring this about. Many feel "trapped in," and think "there's no way out!" I admit,... I have been very discouraging thoughts. Sometimes, wondering, if I was dealt "the wrong lot." But just when I feel alone and trapped within. I think about Jesus! He's always been my friend! I've called to him more than a time or two... When I didn't know "what I was going to d." When, to him, I cried out and pleaded... He's given to me the hope and direction I needed! I recommend this same Jesus to your life today! Whatever your problem... He has made a way! An abundant assurance Is what Jesusbrings! He is an awesome God! And can take care of everything! Your problems are never too big or small for him to take control. He can bring healing to you! And make your body whole! He is what's needed! In this lost and dying generation! Won't you accept his mercy and salvation??? By Jim Pemberton 2012
I'm a child in heart I'm sensitive, So don't misuse it I'm God's special child I need to respect My zealous Father I need to honor Him With my young heart, I pray for freedom How awesome are Your deeds? Relieve my heart's ache Help me escape From the darkened pit I can be active And beat that race I'm on God's good side God's mercy Aids me in times of trouble I appreciate His consideration He fulfills me with elation
Lost and never found She lays there beaten and bound Tears are long dried Rejected and denied Her heart damned to hell Her screams silent as well Abandoned Left alone Bleeding out Her helpless soul Lost all breath to scream Silent without a need Growing cold with every breath Losing sight Its time for death Gave up Lost her way Her thoughts They never stay Now cold Frozen and numb Growing old Time has come Mind fading Forgot to run.....
A saving grace Oh lord The burden I carry is too much Your word says You give us what we can handle I can no longer handle this I am falling deeper in the hole With no way out Waiting for sunny days The forecast calls for rain I fear I may drown Trying my best to stay afloat I lost all hope I cry out My voice goes unheard Treading the waters Grabbing anything so I do not sink I scratch at the wall of my self prison There is no way out I feel like just letting go I accept the sin of my days You wait for me to call Will your helping hand Pull me from the pits of despair Stopping the rain of a broken man My hand is reaching up to the sky Today I do not want to die…..
In peak summer,frightening dark an Arabian night, Khalif Omar busy,putting his things in black and white, Under an oil lamp throwing not much but little light, Suddenly gained access his room his wife with Omar to sit, Omar screwed his hand and ceased the lamp that let to lit, Why?asked his wife,Omar in a voice like from a well or a deep pit, Oil from the state's coffers not to burn for others,said Omar bit, This teaches a lesson for all in power to make their seats proper and fit!
Angels from above In heaven they dwell Some were casted down From the sky they fell They were thrown out of the light And casted into the dark They had their wings removed And their foreheads marked They were given a kingdom In which they could roam Keys to the gate And a king of there own Out of the darkness Came a warm flickering glow A place we call Hell A hot fiery hole A fire so hot It cant be fathomed by man Its filled with the screams of torture From the wicked and damned Up from the flames A terrible smell arose A smell so bad It chokes out your soul I looked towards heaven And I cried out for God To send down an angel And lift me from the fog Then suddenly Everything seemed to stop Except the amber's of the coals That still crackled and popped Then i heard laughter That came from everywhere In loud screeching voice I heard God ain't here Then it dawned on me That very instant That Id been dammed And Hell was my sentence!

In this poem you find me standing alone in the darkness of night. Standing in this same place while the sun is up would have been of little or no consequence. Somehow darkness triggers the element of fear in Me. I become afraid and my imagination begins to play tricks on me. When the bewitching hour of midnight arrives I begin to imagine that I see weird and horrible specters made by the nights shadows cast by the wind swept branches of the trees that encircle me. In frenzy and close to madness my mind begins to hallucinate. In a trancelike state my mind thinks it sees three large ghosts. The ghosts are symbols of Mans three greatest fears: The fear of poverty, The fear of getting old and the fear of dying. The most destructive of the three (poverty) steps forward. And in a loud voice speaks. She states that all my fears are two-fold. First, I fear the inevitability of old age and death and the probability of poverty. That these fears are by my own hand because I cling to ancestral fears that were and still are a mixture of ignorance and religious fantasies and the cause of all my dread. Standing in the silence of the night when Heavenly sights disappear from my view I found myself lonely and afraid. Then As midnight approached the shadows turned to Horrid, winged specters leaping about me. I was mesmerized by their ghastliness. Suddenly there appeared from their midst three Giant ghosts standing before me possessed. The largest of the three stepped forward. She Began to speak in a thunderous voice. "Your fear is two-fold: You fear what you see, Us! At the same time your fears are by choice. You cling to ancestral fears concocted In ignorance, steeped in religious dread."

The huge cost of building a controversial barrage across the Severn Estuary to produce electricity cannot be justified, a new economic study concludes.
It would be wrong to use £15bn of taxpayers' money to build the barrier when as much power could be produced more cheaply from other renewable sources.
Conservation groups have warned construction of the proposed 10-mile barrage from Cardiff to Weston-Super-Mare would cause an environmental disaster at an internationally important wetlands site which supports a wide variety of wildlife.
But supporters, including the government's advisory group, the Sustainable Development Commission (SDC), say it could supply almost five per cent of the UK's total energy needs and would be a big step in meeting the target of 20 per cent of all energy from renewable sources by 2020.
Ten UK environment groups commissioned Frontier Economics, Europe's leading economic consultancy, to look at the economics of building the barrage and whether it would deliver value for money.
Their study concluded that it would be wrong to use public funds to build the barrage and that under current Treasury rules it would not qualify for special Government subsidies or any other form of public investment.
And a barrage harnessing the tidal power of the Severn estuary would be a much more expensive way of generating power than developing other renewable technologies such as wind and biomass.
There were enough resources in wind alone to meet the Government's target of obtaining 20 per cent of electricity from renewables by 2020 and big offshore wind farms could generate the same amount of energy at around half the annual cost of a barrage.
While wind alone could not deliver on the overall target of 20 per cent of all energy from renewables it could be met from using a range of sustainable sources.
The Frontier analysis will now feed into the Government's multi-million pound study on the feasibility of building a barrage.
The report's author, Matthew Bell, said: "It is hard to think of reasons for the public sector to build or operate a barrage which would not be equally applicable to many other projects and assets that sit in the private sector.
"Not only is the private sector more than able to finance a scheme of this scale but, even using the most conservative estimates of costs, the barrage is one of the most expensive options for clean energy generation there is."
A smaller alternative scheme is for a "shoots" barrage further upriver which would cost around £1.5 billion but it would have a capacity of 1.05GW compared to 8.6GW from the larger scheme equivalent to 4.4 per cent of the UK's total electricity needs.
The SDC study released last year said any such barrage should be publicly built and owned to ensure it was sustainable and was of public benefit.
Graham Wynne, Chief Executive of the RSPB, one of the groups which commissioned the study, said: "There are good reasons for trying to harness the energy potential of the Severn estuary. But the estuary is truly exceptional for its ecological value.
The SDC has already confirmed that a barrage would fundamentally change the nature of the Severn Estuary. Frontier's report shows that this exorbitantly expensive and massively damaging proposal cannot be justified on economic grounds - there are simply too many cheaper options for clean energy generation."
Dr Stephen Marsh-Smith, Chief Executive of the Wye and Usk Foundation, said: "Construction of this barrage would wipe out all the migratory fish including salmon and shad using the Severn estuary.
"It will be a disaster if this barrage is chosen to generate electricity when we know it isn't the best way of doing so. There are so many other options that would spare what is a unique pair of rivers and the huge rural economies attached to them."

Anytime I was in the Sahara last year, I hung out right at the sound booth. Talked to the sound guys after, and he said it was a problem on their end, didn't get into specifics. Everyone kept yelling at him too, and after a while he just started saying fuck off its not me.
So the sound was bad near the back? I thought it was fine up in the front. MC was definitely annoying of course.
'10, '11, '12.1, '13.1, '14.1
Has anyone seen them since their coachella performance? Wondering if they are even worth taking a look at for Hard Summer. I was so sad at how bad they were at Coachella
I saw Skream and Benga in march in Portland. Guess what.... the MC was screaming there too! Looks like he follows them everywhere
this is such a disappointment. I guess i will check them out if there isn't anyone else playing at that time.
They're working on new material, hoping to hear some at Hard Summer. Their debut album was so good
