Do you recall anything I said at all?

And not fenced in or stalled?Exploring outside of a box that’s watched.That is the life for me!I’ve considered the limitations of others…But why should I stop,To observe their treadmill deeds?There is so much abundance displayed,On this God’s sphere called Earth.Do you think I’m going to spend time corralled,Huffing and puffing and hoofing up dirt?I don’t…

Father You’ve made me black I see.

Others of colors like nature You’ve made…Are locked and color boxed,Giving each other cold shouldersAnd shade!This can not be the reality You’d want us to have?Living in limitations with disagreements that don’t pass!What is it that we should do?What is it?This is what I ask.Everyone seems to speak of dreamsOf kicking each other’s ass!And this…

In the land of demonic praises…

Basking in torment and daily heated hell,They are called to worship from kilns of comfortTo speak in tongues!To convince those wrung with guilt and anxiety…They are holier than ‘thou’!Allowing a congregation freshly singed to coolFrom a blistering message performed to remind themOf the instigating presence of LuciferIn their lives!IF they do not tithe in ‘spirited’…
