Spider

I was very restless today
somebody had overplayed the hand
to grab the absolute.
Light was searching the earth
and earth was moving inside me.

I wanted to pack up and go
to meet the truth.
The lips had left their print
on the empty cups.
The ragpicker was waiting.

My toes had met the brutal stones
of godhood. I was puzzled by new
methodology to make man free.
As the grass grows through the carcass
a cataract is trumpeting blind.

I was afraid of the huge web.
The spider was nowhere in sight.

Not Just Millions

In one song men sing of Millions, but, that number is actually Billions,
Those who grope in darkness today, not knowing God’s Truth or Way;
One-third of the earth’s population, doesn’t embrace God’s Salvation,
Along with those who haven’t heard, the saving Grace of God’s Word.

As believers stop, to think of this, multitudes today need our witness,
Of Eternal Truths entrusted to us, as we came to faith in Christ Jesus,
It is the only Truth that man knows, as all the spiritual darkness grows,
To grant all men that required light, to free them totally from the night.

Jesus Christ, is The Light of this world, the Only Truth we must herald,
For The Way, The Truth and The Life, is none other, than Jesus Christ,
As Christ alone paid sin’s full price, as The Father’s Atoning Sacrifice,
And He alone, as God’s Only Son, came unto this earth for everyone.

There’s no reason for any to grope, in the darkness, with God’s Hope,
The only Hope for all mankind, who came to save the spiritually blind,
Today it remains our Lord’s desire, that passion burns in us like a fire,
To motivate us to reach all the lost, with God’s message of the Cross.

So today, we must never be silent, as the people who Christ has sent,
Into the present world of darkness, flooded with man’s hopelessness,
To offer God’s Hope and new sight, which leads men to Eternal Light,
Bringing Billions to Salvation’s Door, to a life with Christ forevermore.

Seasonal Priorities

Effortlessly a desire erects
a monument. One flaw
demolishes the image. Stones,
ugly grass & a solitary tree
make the landscape.
Hundreds of seeds go back
to the earth’s womb, never
to sprout. Heartbroken
I stand in the middle
of life, crumbling alone.

How can we change?
A splash of green
ingests a scissor,
that is not enough. A parallel tragedy
strikes. Sun and flowers
are gone, seeking a truth,
not yet conceived. A timeless
fire burns in the temple,
uncovering the heat,
edging towards us.

Freedom from long falls comes,
bit by bit in degrees.
Suffering remains the same.
We immortalize our smears.
The absolute truth
suddenly becomes a lie.
A myth which balooned
our minds. But brutal
sunlight has seasonal priorities.

Rebel in the Dark

You're a rebel in the dark with nothing to see,
You're looking for answers, but nothing is clear,
And you're still too dumb to know any fear,
You're searching for the light that you can't see,
You're trying to get away so that you can breathe,
You're a rebel in the dark with nothing to see,

You're a rebel in the dark with nothing to see,
You're looking for something that you can believe,
You're surrounded by ignorance, fear and greed,
You're so confused that you're starting to bleed,
You're no longer sure what it is that you need,
You're a rebel in the dark with nothing to see,

You're a rebel in the dark with nothing to see,
And you're hoping there's someone to set you free,
But you'll settle for anyone who will just care,
You're still not sure why it is that you're here,
And you know that life just isn't fair,
You're a rebel in the dark with nothing to see,

You're a rebel in the dark with nothing to see,
You realize that you're the only one who cares,
You're searching for the light that you can't see,
Why don't you look inside and you will find,
A light so bright it will make you go blind!
You're a rebel in the dark with nothing to see,

You're a rebel in the dark with nothing to see,
Just take a look inside and you will find,
That light so bright it will make you go blind!

As I Was Leaving, They Are Just Arriving

you meet new people at
the airport today
when the plane just landed
and the door was opened

fresh faces from the north
moving south
still entertaining hopes
and ambitions how

to make more money
buy a few acres of land
build a new house
start a family

you are with a pack of
chosen clothes
and you are moving north
fed up
with hopes
promises without bones

you smile
and they see you
misinterpreting that gesture
as a welcome

deep within you
goodbye is truer
death levels everyone
and there is no point
anymore
at all these

you are the truth
they are the truths in the making
lies crawl like worms
towards that
empty mountain
top

A Woman Crossed In Love

Cant stand this silence any more Im dying
The words no sooner leave my lips
Im out of your life in the beat of a heart
It was selfish it was cruel undeniably uncool
Have your way with me
Slap me twice across the face once for a stolen embrace
Once more for honesty
They say the truth will set you free
Its true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love
Call me shameless I dont care I love you
Desperate measures for desperate times
So much for the sway of a kiss
Darling here I am your ever-loving man
In his darkest hour
Had I known it meant goodbye I would have sooner lived a lie
Than live without you girl
They say the truth will set you free
Its true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love
So its over like that pack you bags your coat and hat
End of story
Before I fade away hear me when I say
Baby Im sorry
They say the truth will set you free
Its true for some but not for me
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love
No sorry on earth is sorry enough
To win back the heart of a woman crossed in love

Original Sin

Jim steinman
Ive been looking for an original sin
One with a twist and a bit of a spin
And since Ive done all the old ones
Till theyve all be done in
Now Im just looking
And Im gone with the wind
Endlessly searching
For and original sin...
You can dance forever
You gotta fire in you feet
But will it ever be enough
Ya, know itll never be enough
You can fly and never land
And never need to see
But will it ever be enough
You know itll never be enough
Its no enough to make the nightmares go away
Its not enough to make the tears run dry
And who knows what evil
Lurks in the hearts of men today
Its a city of shadows
Its a city of light
Its a city of secrets
Its a city of pride
Itll all be over now
All I wanted was a piece of the night
I never gota equal share
When the stars are all outside
And the moon is down
The natives are so restless tonight...
Ive been looking for the ultimate crime
Infinite victims, in a testable time
And Im so, so very guilty
For no reason, no rhyme
So now Im just looking, and Im killing some time
Endlessly searching
For the ultimate crime...
You can loose yourself in pleasures
Till your bodies goin numb
But will it ever be enough
You know itll never be enough
You can always take whatever
You can see them if you want
But itll never be enough...
Its not enough to make the nightmares go away
Its not enough to make the tears run dry
And who knows what evil lurks in the hearts
Of men today
Its a city of shadows
Its a city of life
Its a city of cruelty
Its a city of prize
Itll be over now
All I wanted was a piece of the night
I never gotta equal share
When the stars are all outside
And the moon is down
The natives are so restless tonight
All I needed was a spot in the light
Never had to get so dark
The natives are so restless tonight
All I needed was a spot in the light...
Ive been looking for an original sin
One with a twist and a bit of a spin
And since Ive done all the old ones
Till theyve all been done in
Now Im just looking
And Im gone with the wind
Endlessly searching for an original sin...
(repeat)
(repeat)
Im applying for a license to thrill...
Going out on the edge...
Moving in for the kill
And therell be hell to pay someday...
Put it all on the bill...
Cause well always be paying
And paying until...
Were beyond expiration...
With a license to thrill....
(chorus)

Fountain Of Life

(j.p. maunick)
Chase the sunrise, people come together
Feel the glory of the new day
Feed the feeling, gather friends and strangers
Come together make it stay this way
Chorus:
Looking for the fountain of love
We fell into a cool paradise (he yeah hey yeah)
The rythm of the sand and the sea
Is where weve always wanted to be
Ive been looking
(looking for the fountain of love)
Searching
(fell into the cool paradise)
Ive been in search of paradise
(the rythm of the sand and the sea)
Sand and sea
(where weve always wanted to be)
Wanted
Always, wanted
Always searching for a new direction
Your heart desires a better state of mind
Mother nature will provide the feeling
In the sunshine, happiness youll find
Chorus
Weve been holding on
Waiting for this day to come our way
Holding on
Weve been holding on
Waiting for the light to shine our way
(holding on)
Always waiting
Sayin (free me, free me, free me)

The Writer's Pen

Today is the writer's pen but,
Yesterday was the lying pens of the scribes!
Read it yourself in Jeremiah chapter eight verse eight;
Because, they've changed the laws.
What then do we expect to come out when tomorrow comes?
Most of our own writers today are afraid to tell the truth,
And they are blind leaders of the blind.

Of my imaginations,
Of my words,
Like a Doctor of letters to make the world go round;
They have prophesied but, i am fulfilling the message.
My mind is true,
My council is positive,
And i am the writer's pen with a vision on a mission;
They have written but, i am now telling the truth!
Like a locust that eats the grass.

Dust

Creeping in waking night
was fear of fear
and you wanted to accept the defeat
retreat,
It gives you solitude of
blank space, featureless.

The terrorist mask of blazing guns
bribing the absent gods,
for whom you are aiming?

The holy man on road
fakes,
crushing the grass
lilies getting flattened under the giant wheels.

Moving an bloody toes
festering heels
carrying the sacred earth under the nails
all night.
peeling the time, throwing the skn
and waiting
for the dust to settle.

Just A Taste

Come meet The God of Eternity, just taste Truth and you’ll see,
Just how sweet it is to your soul, as you stand with Him in awe,
In awe of what He’s done for us, through His Son, Christ Jesus,
Who had left His Eternal Throne, to make sinners His very Own.

The love of Christ is wonderful, reaching even that darkest fool,
Giving those who’re in the dark, His loving light through a spark,
A spark to take them of the night, into the Lord’s Glorious Light,
The saving light of Jesus Christ, which grants to them a new life.

In only takes but one small taste, to realize that it is not a waste,
To go ahead with a positive nod, to look into The Word of God,
About the Truths of God’s Son, which were written for everyone,
Just why He came into the world, the Truth today that we herald.

Of how by God’s matchless love, He had left His Throne above,
To come down onto this earth, through a prophesied virgin birth,
The Eternal God, yet born a man, to bring God’s Salvation Plan,
Good News to men everywhere, when tasted, you too will share.

That Goodness, of The Lord God, everywhere upon earth’s sod,
When you come to know your place, and God’s abundant Grace,
Your heart and soul will rejoice, as in Truth you lift up your voice,
Saved by Christ from Adam’s fall, you too, in Him will be in awe.

Gospel Truth

truth is not a closed
door or a fixed pillar
it is a seed growing
inside our heart and
looks for the light of
the sun until it wilts
because of too much
glare, ...truth is the sun
that keeps on shining
to the earth and sea..
truth is the earth that
keeps its orbit...truth
is the sea, it is wide
and deep, it is always
beyond and mysterious...
truth is word, slipping
from my grasp....

Flowers to boom

I had always wished flowers to boom
With nice place, space and very good room
Where they can come out from their hiding
See the world themselves and chiding

We know it is for short duration
So is the life too in question!
Why do we stop them from booming?
When danger is already large looming?

Let children too invade this holy land
No restriction for their coming to befriend
Lovely air and nature for very good refuge
Large and tall trees with mountains so huge

We want their arrival restricted
Cruelty and other sorts inflicted
Yet they come despite out precaution
We just need to think it with only caution

We need to leave certain things to our creator
He is whole and sole and real mentor
What we are on earth today?
Just helpless animal pushed away

We do the things never called for
We defy the rules and kill the persons in war
We recklessly aim at complete annihilation
How can we go in for such devastation?

Let us do the complete rethinking
Take steps before ship is sinking
Not a blade of grass may grow
If we continuously pollute the river flow

We can destroy the land several times today
Still some weapons will be left to throw away
We can mange to destroy but not to revive
Yet time is left to think over and survive

What will be left on earth to enjoy?
If we employ the methods to destroy
Why flowers, children, and trees alone?
Only beautiful earth will left behind with stones
