do, live and be

Do, Live And Be
8-7-15


The kingdom of God is here, now and today
For praying hands
It comes with the territory
And Jurassic Park
Right in our own front yard
To my chest I hold another business card
The tenth translated as Negev
Based on the word meaning to be dry
Don't worry the jury
In the telling of another white lie
Second miracle
My cat grows rambunctious
Thinking she's a kitten again
Inspiration for another ready and diligent pen
Thousands joined him for fields left unthreshed
It doesn't seem new
As you really have to close your eyes to see
You are so far from me
Coming to fight with the Chaldeans
But why all of this bloodshed
Declaring it to represent the earth beneath our feet
Not to wait but to do, live and be....










Our Negev
8-7-15


My Jewish brother walks out the front door
And I wish him a good day
By the Grace of God experience
And hope will serve as our pay
In those days Judah will be saved
And Jerusalem will dwell safely in these days
And at the time I will cause to grow up to David
A Branch of righteousness
Not as our own
But of He whom made it possible
For all that we see yet to be
God gifted all of us
With something we can do for souls
And to cheer them up
Down at the bench
As never do I mind the stench
Your gift the most fulfilling and most difficult
For rewards in heaven
And beef jerky at seven-eleven
You know this space is getting hot
Not according to what I am not...










Weal To The Worm
8-7-15


Such a geographical term
Weal to the widow and to the worm
Groveling and abject and contemptuous
Under conditions rough and tempestuous
The eye cannot say to the hand
I have no need of you
No derision or schism in the body
Up there on the neon avenue
And on the Indigo Boulevard
I still feel like a stranger
Given no such aim
But by my faith I plow on through
In my ways of cultivation
We are to live between the trees
We all have a place in the kingdom
As God sees
Using your gift is a privilege and a blessing
As by my honest engine such I am confessing
If it's love not how would I know
Praise the Lord of hosts for his mercies endureth forever...










...Amongst The Studied...
8-7-15


Praying for the divine opportunity
To catch up with a brother that has returned
All made to drink of One Spirit
And another month of money to be burned
Amongst the studied, the read and the learned
My gift might be my impartiality
O, let this carousel begin
As a lost sailor to be saved
And O, all these cigarettes I have craved
Soon it is time to march back down there
Some days the sea is still a glass
O, leave the mainsail
Referring to a special section of Palestines
So far almost five years without my semisweet wine
Till the chains of our dreams are broken
For sobriety serving as the true token...
