Exhort
8-20-14


Truth brings a smile
And now I am lost again
Reality brings tears
By the workings today
Of such a black and humble pen
O, exhort and hold down the fort
O, admonish according to the love of a higher sort
The sun makes his way out onto the scene
As this grace has appeared to all men
O, just turn it on
I'm lost again
By his own special people
Zealous for good works
O, speak these things and exhort
Letting no one despise you
Exhort...


















Another Shaving Cut
8-20-14


Without blood there is no remission
I say this much to but justify another shaving cut
Where I'm still in my rut
Of my if, and and but
With my front door securely shut
With my honey roasted peanut
I hope to stop the bleeding
In that San Francisco is leading
And football fans left me wanting and needing
To speak evil of no one
And to invite the light
Of our taken for granted sun
These things are good and profitable
To obtain I will but run
Without blood there is no remission
O, pardon here the pun...


















On Titus 3:7
8-20-14


Having been justified by his grace
That we should become as heirs in a better place
Where this is not a racy race
This is a faithful saying
By these things I affirm
These things are good and profitable
To but confirm
Having been justified by his blood
I ponder on in the chewing of my cud
Skirting around strivings about the law
It's what you do in taking your steak raw
Having been justified we stand fast...








Apollos Watered
8-20-15


O, I have planted and Apollos has watered
O, Christ gives the increase
And the people hath slaughtered
As I decide to spend my summer here in captivity
Sending Zenus on his journey
So that we will have lack of nothing
To but meet their urgent needs
That they may not be unfruitful
O, greet all of those that love us in the faith
And may grace be unto you
Amen, O, by the power of this pen
We will do it all again....








My Blue Transition
8-20-14


All my life I've searched for this
Changing over to my blue pen
Content with well being
And to cease the chase for bliss
Halelujiah
It is a manifestation I won't need to miss
According to the epistle to Philemon
And its love exemplified
And his intercession for Onesimus
Upon a path narrow yet in mind broad and wide
To the beloved Apphia
It's a beautiful life if we swallow our pride
As we have great joy and consolation in your love....










Of Conduct
8-20-14


Called to be an Apostle
By the finding of our dinosaur fossil
In contrast with the illustration
By our family and its walk and its actual state
To but stand in grace
Now I plead with you my brethren
To be here in a better place
I pour another cup of coffee
And I celebrate my smoothness upon my face
Where human wisdom divides the body
As these divisions will be our can of mace
By these beginnings upon another island by Chistia
Conduct and freedom in Thailand
And this liberty that doesn't come for free
I see much of you in what is as me....
