Homeland Security II
The presses must cease and desist
While our soldiers protect rights that don't exist
You don't have to live in hunger
If you're willing to die in war
We are God fearing believing eye for an eye
Even if it means we have to lie
We fight for what is just
We will tell you who to trust
We'll train you to kill and die for liberty
While we detain your kin's rights to speak freely
As your leader I'll tell but never show what's real
As your leader, I'll tell, without why, how to feel
Our coalition is fear, hatred, ignorance and apathy
The truth and its seekers are our greatest enemy
We will serve and protect
We will detain and inspect
Everyone poor enough to be a suspect
I will be your god should you re-elect

Four Wall Coffin
I lay in my four wall coffin
I won't let emotion out or in
Hiding from the pain I never wish to feel again
Maybe time heals all wounds and amends
Or maybe it only heals when yours ends
Until I find out I'll just have a sleep in
And try not to let the torment creep in
But it bursts thunderously in
Barking orders beyond what I can lend
Making accusations when I'm too weak to defend

Sun Rose
Your hair flows like the rays of dawn
Your embrace is as tranquil as the morning dew
Your face as friendly as the forest's fawn
Your innocent smile and gentle eyes beckon me toward you
Gentle, sweet
And petite
Passionate as the rose compassionate as the sun
In your inner and outer beauty have joined as one

Infant Funeral
At midnight I was born
But I'll die before the morn
I know this is my fate
Because I'm dying its already too late
Before I even reach the baby's basket
My parents are mourning at my funeral casket

Aloof Sarcasm
Your old shtick has run its course
It's a one trick pony beating a dead horse
Your smirky attitude may have lead some to think you're witty
Now the only laughs you'll hear are sounds of pity

Teachers
To my teachers this I write
You have guided me to the light
Now my life is straighten out
You were there when I was in doubt
Now I see the sun shining through
It is all because of you
When ever I see you in the street
I know I have a friend to greet

Dreamer
My feet are firmly planted in the clouds
Alone among even the largest crowds
My mind travels faster than light
Ideas like stars shining bright
Passionate mind in a passionate body
With my fleshly wall it's hard to know me
Though my emotions I'll clearly show
To anyone who wants to know

Wilderness On Paven Road
Man built the ramp on the park so I could walk down the trail
But God made me want to go take the path upon morn's veil

My Family
When I come home from the ugly world
I come to my family that's all mine
The world of hate is stuck in darkness
But my two sisters, mom and dad bring me sunshine
Love and support flows through my family like a river
The love reaches everyone who enters the household
Our friends and family live in harmony
That reaches everyone young and old

A Letter To God
Jehovah I have faith in you, do you have faith in me
I don't blame you but why am I taunted with fear and misery
I wander through my life
Wondering of my strife
It is I, not you, I doubt
That's why I look for the easy way out
No discipline
Can kill my sin
I am forever lost
But at my own cost
My mind and heart desire Holy Spirit
But my flesh breaks down and quits
I am not now or ever fully pure
So help me let myself endure

Sinful Pleasures
Pleasures so perverted
How do they get me diverted
Why are my morals distorted
Lost in a flow of lust unaverted
After the sin I see the light
I'm finally able to say what is right
Because of the benefits of hindsight
But what good is it in a condemned plight

Iambic Pentameter II
You can't feel me you can't even see me
You press pain through my forever locked door
Just because you can't see that pain in me
Don't mean the pain in me can be ignored

Wave
Be careful about what you crave
It could lead you to an early grave
So pure and young and unsaved
You lived your life as an ocean wave
You looked at peace among a small and humble crowd
But deep inside you cried out so loud
Lost in your dark cloud
The thing you lacked was how to be proud

The Clear Path
Lost in a trap built by Satan
Fallen off the clear path, unable to get back on
My feet had many times fallen off this path before
Is it worth it to fight it anymore

The Answer
The answer people are looking for
Is the same as it was before
And no matter if they say it doesn't apply anymore
It works for me and so many more
It was is and always be
Jehovah's Law and Prophesy
It has helped His People all through history
It's a pathway to follow out of the world's misery
It's a guiding light
Through the world's dark night
