All

All Scripture is profitable
Even when it doesn't seem to make sense
Yet still I try to whitewash
My front yard garden fence
In my own symbolic way
I blur my eyes to see straight
As only circumstance will I hate
All Scripture is profitable
Even when I don't understand
Like nourishment to the Soul
Whether I'm mining gold
Silver or even coal
She won't let me down......




















It's Insane To Be Normal
6-26-10


I can say I'm thankful
For what I've got
But in my soul I still need more
Utter madness as usual
This is all part of being normal while impure
Never mind the words that you overhear
When paranoid about drinking another beer
I can look back on this and laugh
Never bothering to count the cost
Or do the math
Paranoia about the corporate
It's all part of Real
So called real life and living...








I'm A Survivor Of The Blues
6-26-10


We never get used to it
There are challenges in each and every day
When it's all about experience
And not about the pay
Walking down new avenues
I'm a survivor of the blue collar blues
Yet I haven't even started yet
So I say so be it
Before it's too late
And I shout Halelujiah
Even when I stink
As when it comes to politics
I'm still red and pink
Dad says that being mental is not an excuse
I take this as positive criticism
Yet not abuse...










A Kind Rhyme
6-26-10


There is liberation in confrontation
In a place where there are no rules
Where a man has not a right to judge
The wise from the fools
Terrified of what is yet to be
This is not a way to walk in
There is freedom in bondage
If I can see it this way
Even when laden down in sin
So far the voices have been kind
Where I eat the orange and set aside its rind
They tell us not to get too close
But it is better this way
When one is morose....










I Fall Short
6-26-10


I fall short
On the past tense tennis court
When I am told to hold down the fort
Whatever that means
Staying at the table to finish my greens
Never liked the ides of believers being sheep
When all they are are followers
And medicine swallowers
There will be a new plan
Upon unknown territory
Where I taste of the heaven and hell
And so called purgatory
Needing to learn to laugh all over again
And take less seriously
My work and my pen
I fall short
Therefore I am worthy to exhort...












To Hope Against Hope
6-26-10


A brother asks me how I am doing
And I say pretty good
For the fact that I'm alive
And for the fact that I made it to the hour of five
Some say that I'm only cheating myself
Others say I'm wasting my time
But fuck them all
I don't see why I even try to make it rhyme
So I sit around scratching my ass
And picking my nose
Yet I said that tonight anything goes
A sad situation
And therefore in the long run glorious....










O, How?
6-26-10


Going there
Even if I might not like what I hear
Yet it says as well
That there is nothing we ought to fear
A contradiction so it seems
Where I am given an answer in my dreams
Another contradiction on my behalf
Wishing that once again I could cry and laugh
Going there
I read again the book of Judges
Trying to put out of my mind all grudges
And I car, O, how
And I accept all that god will allow....
