Changed Forever

Then he opened his mouth.  Our lives were so changed from that point to this.  Irrevocably changed forever.

Sacrifices

Broken bones lay at the foot of the trees
Like some sacrifice made to appease
Some God who will not be pleased…
Until he kills us all

And while you sit back and laugh at his twisted task
Perhaps you should take some time to just ask
Whether you’ve been infected with…
His nasty disease

You see sin is the master of us all
Vile and unforgiving since the day of the fall
When satan deceived Eve in the garden…
With delusions of grandeur

When in the end God asks “who did you serve?”
Our reply will condemn us to what we deserve
And unless we plead the blood of Jesus…
We’ll all burn

Birthed from a virgin, Jesus came as a man
He lived a perfect life and died in God’s plan
Was resurrected on the third day…
To conquer sin

Jesus paid the price we could never pay
A perfect sacrifice in every way
He bore the wrath of God on the cross…
And saved our lives

A Greater Moses

Sin cut skin like a rusty knife
Infection ensued in the form of strife
And death replaced life…
In a single moment

Now blisterd feet make bloodied trails
Day and night hear sobs and wails
As our every human attempt fails…
To break away from this

We’re weary from wandering in a foreign land
Needing a greater Moses’ outstretched hand
To take us into the promise land…
And far away from here

And Twig for Crutch

Let’s bind our broken hearts together
With tape and twig for crutch we’ll stagger
Through the maze of darkness’ forest
Where death doth sing in siren’s chorus
“Despair young children, you’ve lost your way”
Friend rest on me, let’s hope and pray

For my friends.

Blind Sprint

blind sprint
wasted beauty
abusive pastime
torn papers of pink & red

Paper and Glue

Let’s come together like paper and glue
Let’s stick together like paper and glue
But when times get tough we’ll split like who?
Two pieces of paper stuck together with glue

This comes from my uncle’s illustration of people having sex being like 2 pieces of paper stuck together with glue… there’s no getting them apart without causing quite a bit of damage.

Fecal Family

There was a fecal family
Who lived in a fecal flat
Which was in a fecal forest
Until some bitch came and ate it
