Mad!

She got her blessing, but he didn't,
the man once was smitten,
but jealousy got the best of him--
and now he's bitten.

Young woman lost weight.
Stopped eating so much off her plate,
but angry eyes, and negative cries--
have made her succumb to lies.

Old man seems to have everything
gave everyone he knew something,
but most didn't appreciate,
and now they just stare and hate.

Fans scream and shout for an idol,
have no time for the Bible,
for it doesn't matter to the Mad Hatter.
Just another celebrity,
cursed by his title.

See the world is mad, mad, mad
while the devil is glad, glad, glad!
for there's no love for the good,
and even if they could,
doesn't mean that they should.

Not happy for your fellow bro
don't think about the seeds one must so
just wait around, feel down,
while your spirit sinks to the ground.

Manipulators mold people like playdough
Always got them on the go.
They see the tree say, "What's in it for me?"
While another is swept by the sea.

No blessing lately has come to you
didn't want to do all there is to do,
talking behind someone's back,
taking up no slack,
then wonder why
nothing good happens to you.

He's Got Something for You

Got a million lines and a hundred signs
with few toys and four boys.
Got a place of peace and music to cease
the noise I hear when I feel fear.

Got a new view on life trying to stay away from strife.
Got a whole lot of wishes and a pond of fishes.
Cast my net below to see what grows
and hope through the process I won't doze.

Thinking of things and what the future will bring.
I have a small voice that sings
says, "You will be okay." Keep urging me to pray.

There is something bigger beyond a thought
if we consider ourselves nothing more than a dot.

You and I know we live life like a show,
until our final day we must go, go, go!
Say "hi" to a friend and hope it's not the end.
Say "bye" to a past and hope this time it will last.

Go to bed at night then wake up feeling alright.
Go about our day while that voice keeps urging us to pray.

He's got something for you, but what will you do
when the clock ticks and your heartbeat sticks?
When the time is right you will pray with all your might.

But will He listen when eyes no longer glisten?
Do you really know where your soul will go?

Someone Prayed for Me Today

Someone prayed for me today,
came across my blog to say
that 'tis the season not to play,
time to get ready for the big wedding day!

They say,
"You have a lot to say, been reading your posts" since May.
Understand you have some seeds to lay,
said a prayer for you today.

You and I are from the same vine.
We stand in the same line
Like you, I use to drink wine and dine.
Then I realized I didn't have much time.

I saw an ungodly sign.
Thought everything was fine.
But the man on the cross,
Reminded me of my loss.

If I kept doing the same thing,
then misery I would only bring.

I know it has been hard,
that's why I carry a card.
It reminds me to trust God,
the creator of the rod.

Don't want to misuse my gifts.
Following God creates some rifts.
But I have to do what I do,
if I want to be one of the few.

There was a time I would cry
even justify a lie.
But time is of the essence,
since I have been blessed by His presence.

I don't know what your journey has been,
but like mine, most likely filled with sin.

God uses people to write--
some choose to share their plight,
while there are others who pick a fight.

The road to the promise land is a process
unlike a game, there is no recess.

Have to keep walking a steady pace,
stay focused in order to win this race.

Thank the Lord for people like you,
the ones who think of me,
the kind of people who look beyond
what the eyes can see.
