WHAT TO DO

Jesus said that He would bring

The kingdom to us. It is up to us

To be ready He told us to look out

For others. To make sure they had

Shelter, food and water and basically

Give of ourselves to others as He gave

Himself for us. There are many who

Follow His word, but a whole lot who

Ignore it and watch out only for themselves.

They seek personal gain and position.

The position leads to seeking control

Which leads to total control and power

And brings misery to those who wish

To have a peaceful life, helping those

Less fortunate. The powerful will dictate

Condition which brings hardship to the meek.

But the meek have faith in the word.

They continue to endure and find peace.

They trust in Jesus and are thankful

For the things they do have and share.

They forgive and pray for their oppressors.

The world is full of dictators who control

Their citizens and cause them to be miserable

They will have a price to pay. We were told

To help not to make them worse. When His

Kingdom comes He will separate the wheat

From the chaff. The good will be happy

And the controllers very sad.

WAITING FOR THE LIGHT

I am alone, but not lonely

I have time to reflect and much to reflect upon.

I will not make judgments, but will express my disappointment,

Especially in people that I have respect for, who seem to have

Thrown aside critical thinking. They applaud the crooked election

And then suffer the consequences of the leftist’s actions, such as

Open borders and attacks on woman and girls, high energy and fuel

Costs and food prices which have risen on reduced quantities.

I think about this. We did not have war in the middle east. Russia was

Not about to attack Ukraine. The Afghanistan fiasco would never have

Taken place and the leftists are happy. Socialism is winning, leading

Us over the cliff. I wonder if they will ever wake up, maybe when they

See their credit card bill. But they seek power and total control. Other’s

Misery puts them in a comfort zone. I go for freedom. I do not want

Government control. The new green deal is a farce and is making

Millionaires out of the promoters. Contrary to popular belief, heat

Causes more Carbon Dioxide rather than Carbon Dioxide causing

More heat. I reflect on these things and pray.

I’VE GOT YA

You give your hand to me

I take it and kiss it

Then you walk away

Thinking that you know me

But iot is plain to see

That you take me for granted

And I can see why

I have provided for you for several years

I have cleaned for you, washed your clothes

Cooked your food, bought the groceries

Listened to your complaints, watched you blame others

For your neglect of health issues

You wanted to be in the crook of my arm

But you turned your head

When I went to kiss you at the sign of peace

In the church service and I am supposed to

Be happy? No, you don’t know me

Then you break your covenant with me

Made under the light of the Holy Spirit

You think that is okay

I am not to judge

The truth will show

When the time comes

And the Light shines on your darkness.

I KNOW THE SCORE

Hey big spender

They yelled at me

I had worked hard

Couldn’t fake it on the job

So I bought a new car

Then heard the hecklers

Who were really just jealous

Sometimes I’m happy,

Right now I am tired, but

I’ll take time to pick

Up my baby and my baby

 just cares for me and

they can’t take that away from me

she is a woman and all

I need to get by

I tell it like it is

And that is good enough for me

And for my baby.

THE OTHER SIDE

This is how I feel

Let the good times roll

I think I’ve got a fever

I’m thinking you’ve changed and

I could drown in my own tears

You don’t know what love is. Never did.

I could have told you so. Gee baby, aren’t

I good to you. I’ll go crazy without you.

You don’t know me at all. Do you?

The red top you wear can be seen  

At the dark end of the street.

You don’t seem to care.

The shadow of your smile upsets me,

Because you’re leaving me.

I’ve seen some miserable people

Who plan to marry, and God bless

The child they plan to raise.

I must confess, its raining in my life,

But I’ll look over the rainbow.

Life is bound to be better

On the other side.

I can’t wait to see.
