Pas Dammam

Pas Dammam
3-24-14

Right here and now
We can have this power
As life is but a vapor
Of withering blades of our grass
And our fading flower
As my still small voice whispers
I hope you'll understand
And so today this I will do
If the Good Lord wills
By the sunshine the poet savors
And the time he kills
O, what have I done now
O, is there not a cause
For these coffee spills
According to our Pas Dammam
Yeah, look it up and you will see the light
And realize it's not by our own might
But by His grace like light by which to write....




On First Samuel 17:32
3-24-14

O, let no man's heart fail
O, look to the ant and to the snail
He's slow on his way
But at least he's moving in the right direction
According to our ephah of dried grain
So we are given our former and latter rain
To appease these distances of pleasure and pain
As signs to tell the poet that he's still alive
O, let no man's heart fail
For your servant will go and fight
As such a giant defies the people of God today
Serving as something that but proves me
In this terrible and wonderful wilderness in which I stand....
