Carry-Out
1-4-14


Being as the Greek
Compelled to be circumcised
I remember working at the fast food restaurant
To serve a carry-out value meal supersized
I had a great time there
And I count this day job as my possession prized
Where the bible today in my eyes is very cool
In believing to be still as the fool
By which Titus that is with me
Will practice the golden rule
After fourteen years
Returning to all that is written here
For my learning...












On Galatians 2:6
1-4-14


We are not to offer too much
Yet God, yeah we cannot outgive
As it is blessed as well to receive
Given today the substance on which I live
And at the chime of noon it's not too late nor too soon
With the sunshine at my back
According to what I already have and don't lack
Rocking onto the book of Galatians
By which God shows no favoritism
Unto the rock star
By all poetic impartiality
Being not a respecter of persons
Where those whom seem to be something
Make no difference to me....












Seven More Miles To Philadelphia
1-4-14


Paul doth withstand Peter in Antioch
Where one's house again is built upon a rock
Where they go to the circumcised
And we to the Gentiles
Where a missionary has his desire
To go yet seven more miles
This was my journey
Back in the days of my rebellious nature
To go against the grain
According to all loneliness and pain
Where dying and crying was my great gain
Withstanding one another to each other's faces
While taking each others' places
Wherein both sides to this story
Are right and true...














Learning How To Sing
1-4-14


O, where did singing come into play
On the stage of all creation
This is my deep inquiry
That I came up with while on vacation
Where I brought around the poetry
In all bliss and elation
To eat and drink with the Gentiles and the Jews
In the days where I didn't care much for the evening news
O, where did singing come into play
And how was such invented
By one's margin and paragraph hyphenated and indented
Of which the artist would change his mind
In that he had repented....














I won't Quit
1-4-14


The Jew doth play the hypocrite
Where the bible is my habit
I choose never to quit
Carried away with all dissimulation
That is not necessarily one's bullshit
Being not completely straightforward
About all there is to say about it
Becoming just as them to win them over
Where even the believing still somewhat doubt it
This is what today I do
And if this is all I do
Then indeed I do well....






















Provisions
1-4-14


By fajita scoops and corn chips
I want to add an inch to mine own hips
Being as skinny as a rail
Being as God's love that doth never fail
Quoting rock artists
And hitting with the hammer
Right upon the nail
Refined while wined and dined
In dreams I get in the boat and set sail
On the south side of my love seat
Will be my feeding frenzy on God's tab
And the government's treat
By my Recces Pieces and pistachios
I am glad to know
That our good Lord knows....
