All men on earth need God’s Truth; His Word is all we need for proof,
For in God’s Holy Word we read, God’s Eternal Truths we must heed,
Future judgment is in store for all, decreed by God, from Adam’s fall;
Lord, man’s destiny is all but two, one being in Hell and one with you.
All souls on earth have a choice, that’s to follow God or man’s voice,
That is follow God’s Holy Word, or man’s opinions that you’ve heard,
Both will lead to one’s final destiny, but two different places eternally,
Both with a changed body my friend, determined by your eternal end.
Everyone, while in their present life, must come to know Jesus Christ,
As He’s the only one who can, accomplish the desired change in men,
The change, which after they’ve died, is into an eternal body, glorified,
As He changes man’s present mortality, into a future, immortal eternity.
Neglecting Christ, for your views, shall bring you bad, not Good News,
That Good News is He’s done it all, to save all souls, from Adam’s fall,
Refusing Christ maintains separation, with The Living God of Salvation,
Friend, not only for just a short spell, but, an everlasting eternity in Hell.
Refusing God, come your last breath, you then, will enter eternal death,
Given a new body, that will endure, eternal separation, you can be sure;
The Lord today is on His Throne, that choice is yours, and yours alone,
Believe before your last breath, to receive Eternal Life instead of death.

God’s Truth is all that matters, as we climb corporate ladders,
This, as we work in this world, where many views are unfurled,
All the secular views oppose, the Truth of God that we chose,
To follow our Lord, Jesus Christ, in every pathway of this life.
When we reach that higher rung, different songs may be sung,
By those who influence us, others, who know not Christ Jesus,
All who lead corporate matters, as we climb corporate ladders,
So, as we climb we mustn’t wavier, as a witness for our Savior.
As God’s, we can’t compromise, His Word of Truth in our lives,
Everywhere The Lord takes us, we are Ambassadors for Jesus,
Guided by God’s gracious hand, in God’s Truth we must stand,
From our home to a workplace, we are guided by God’s Grace.
We’re to spread Truth everywhere, so His Gospel we can share,
This as we stand in God’s Light, in a world where wrong is right,
So not to forsake our obligation, to God’s Truth and Revelation,
While we desire others to see, changes He made in you and me.
When we accepted His salvation, Christ made us a new creation,
To be for Christ Jesus, with our life, The Savior’s living sacrifice.
No matter where are employment, it’s there by Him we were sent,
To be about our Father’s business, being for Him a true witness.

Though by illness my life is rent, I am mindful it’s only a tent,
I speak of this body of mine, my temporal body for this time,
Though my outward body perish, my life in God I can cherish,
As inward I’m renewed by God, for life above this earthly sod.
My body may fail on the earth, but, my life is in my New Birth,
Now a member of God’s Family, I received promises eternally,
Knowing on earth we all may die, real life starts above the sky,
In a place, prepared by Christ, where we begin our Eternal Life.
Our bodies are temporal friend, for this earthly life has its end,
An end indeed we all will see, and then there will be an eternity,
The end won’t be the same for all, as we are under Adam’s fall,
And some at their last breath, will see not eternal life but death.
However, in Christ I have hope, when in times it’s hard to cope,
As this present cancer impedes, my present life with its needs,
My Lord God is always there, helping with each need and care,
Helping me trust in Him not me, as He prepares me for eternity.
For me there’s only eternal gain, but my life He too can sustain,
Extending my life, as a mortal man, if that is within God’s Plan,
So He would allow my present life, to continue on with my wife,
That we may both depart together, to live with our Lord forever.

By many people filled with pride, God and His Truth are denied,
Men not humble but proud, following a politically correct crowd,
Rejecting Truth God has sent, they create a hostile environment,
With cultural changes politically, they are harming God’s Family.
With postmodern ideas in mind, all families, they try to redefine,
With changing values and roles, immorality replaces God’s laws,
While perversion and immorality, destroy the foundational family,
Causing failed marriages friend, with family casualties in the end.
That religious liberty we embraced, by liberals, is being replaced,
By amoral political correctness, opposing God’s Righteousness,
As economic pressures on us, put burdens on all in Christ Jesus,
Causing many with hope in eternity, to fall into a temporal apathy.
Those who believe in The Lord, from the Scriptures, are implored,
To be submissive and humble friend, knowing He knows the end,
While being sober and vigilant, obeying The Spirit, God had sent,
Resisting God’s ancient enemy, being God’s light in dark society.
After we suffer, we’ll be restored, through the power of The Lord,
In Truths, established by God, while we live on this temporal sod,
In the very strength of God in us, while we follow The Lord Jesus,
Settling here, on God’s Eternal Ways, to God’s honor and praise.

Uninhibited violence. The disappearing
she-factor in stem cells at sunset point,
which could not collect the evidence.How
the tomb-sweeping stopped and
candles blown out? This time
the thorns were bleeding, flesh was again
gone out of sight, and the dark silence
ejected from teeth, was mugged by words. Your
kiss arrives in vain, the night was without
a moon. Asleep, a seed sprouts howling
at the crossroads ready to invite the bottom
of abyss at the child's rape. Come and
see the birthmark on forehead, the map
of his country reddening and oozing.
I am on the run now to graft the
skin on unhealing wounds, unanswerable.

Love all and better to do it now
It has the power to keep us fit
Kind heart strengthens mind
To show affection, try to know
Irritation gives disconsolation
Anger causes terrific danger
Hatred makes a horrible bed
Divinity never likes cruelty
If your heart is badly rough
Ever if you hate, love never
Punishing if you are wishing
Sadness you get with madness
Send message to be a friend
Express love to ever impress
Shout not losing your clout
These are the ways to please
Practice to produce holy peace
Mingle with all, be not single
Ignorant mind only is violent
Mercy is the very best policy.

The night tumbles down
when the last stars are driven off
and even the morning star flees
before the sun and the day-sky
and I hear you coughing next to me
while the morning breeze
it’s still somewhat cold
and the beach
stretches out long,
white and fresh before us
and the waves kiss your feet
as it does every morning at this place
and we are madly-happy to be together.

As the silver moon at midnight
watched from a starry sky
like touching fingers her bright light
were tenderly passing us by,
the gentle wind tried to woo us asleep
and your eyes gleamed in your face
while into my heart age old feelings did creep
and passion through my body did race
in moments some hours were spent
with a kind of wonder in your gaze,
in our love your were sweet and innocent,
and also happy and as if in a daze
as our deepest heartfelt feelings we did express,
and for moments utter bliss we did possess.

a savage desire to severe off
one's neck, the song will get a name
in troubled mind,
to remove the stain on tongue of black spider,
you will think again to commit your sleep
for that beautiful death:
guess what happens when you come out of the body
like a blue beam and strike a black hole amidst
the shining legies, the lines on your hand
till a different merger when the listening
was unheard and the body does not talk,
wolves were coming; no one minds the bullets,
but sneaking in dark, like paroxysm of sunrealistic
chorus of mutiny or angles fallen from the sky
the acid was thrown on the face, of rosy lips
because they were finding new words.
