The nukes fell
Like cherry blossoms
In springtime
A great number
Of missiles
Filled the sky
They rained down
Mercilessly
On US cities
The Earth began
A nuclear winter
The US was now
A radioactive
Wasteland
A remnant had fled
To the Arctic
Before the nukes fell
Everyone else perished
All is destroyed
And lost
In the nuclear
Holocaust

I am no longer
Captive by sin
Thanks to
Christ’s propitiation

When we are regenerated
The Holy Spirit indwells us
Spiritually we go from
Minus to plus

The natural man
Is spiritually dead
But God has chosen the elect
To be His children instead

We receive the effectual call
We are saved by God’s grace alone
Through faith alone you see
Because for us Christ did atone

Carry your cross every day
God sanctifies us every hour
Do good works
And perform them in God’s power

I walk
Through
The night
The air
Is cold
Snow
Is falling
The ground
Dazzles
Like millions
Of diamonds
I will
Fight
The blight
Demons
Attack me
I shout
“The Lord
Rebuke you”
They shriek
Then fly away
Going further
I cross
A small
Stone bridge
An old man
Is ice fishing
In the frozen
River
He tells me
That we must
Be fishers
Of men
I carry
A heavy burden
My severe
Mental illness
I put on
The mind
Of Christ
One day
I will be free
Of all maladies
My mind shall
Be whole
I thank
The Holy Spirit
For His role

I refuse to fly
Death awaits in the sky

I will travel by boat
I hope it will stay afloat

Automobiles are deadly; thousands die every year
Being in a car fills me with fear

I can’t walk very much due to spinal stenosis
It’s a tragic prognosis

I could take the train
But it would drive me insane

Riding a bike is too dangerous, you see
I’m fatigued and have no energy

I refuse to ride in a bus
The thought of it makes me want to cuss

Helicopters are very much a way to destruction
I made a sound deduction

As the last
Trumpet does sound
The dead in Christ
Shall rise from the ground

Believers who are alive
Will join Christ for sure
Sin is the disease
And He is the cure

We shall meet Jesus
In the air
We will no longer
Have a reason to despair

The Church shall be led
To Heaven with the Lord
For the Marriage Supper
Of the Lamb we soared

After the Great Tribulation
Seven years of God’s wrath
Jesus and the Church
Will return to Earth

Christ will condemn the wicked
They shall soon expire
Shall face eternal torment
In the Lake of Fire

Satan himself cannot withstand
God’s might
Darkness shall be destroyed
By light

Christ will rule from
Ezekiel’s Temple, you see
He’ll reign for 1,000 years
Before Him shall bow every knee

Next is the New Heaven
And New Earth
We’ll worship God forever
Thanks to the new birth

My brain is defective
My cognition is selective

I rest a lot in my abode
Mentally, I’m a few bricks shy of a load

I long to have energy and play
Sadly, I’m confined to bed and full of dismay

I sometimes hear voices telling me to sin
I can resist because of Jesus’ propitiation

I suffer from many a mental fright
I wish my mind were whole, that’d be a true delight

I am quite crazy
My mind is often hazy

I am a megalomaniac
I’ve had many a mental attack

I am mentally disturbed
My thinking is perturbed

One day, I will be healed
A sane mind will be revealed

I’m losing weight
Every day
Soon I shall be like Adonis
In every way

I drink water
Both night and day
It fills me up
Without delay

I desire to be
Healthy and fit
All day in my chair
I cannot sit

Currently, I have
A big belly
One day I’ll be slim and trim
And so happy

I love drinking water
Every hour
Without it, my health
Would be dour

I walk outside
With my rollator, you see
I enjoy the sunshine
And scenery

I want to glorify God
Every single day
My body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit
With me, He will stay

God predestined man to salvation
At the world’s foundation

Christ would give us a second birth
This is cause for great mirth

We weren’t chosen by God for anything we did
The reason for our election He hid

Because of sin, man is spiritually dead
We are made alive because Christ’s blood was shed

The natural man is totally depraved
Only by grace alone through faith alone are we saved

At Calvary, on the rugged cross, Jesus did atone
For the natural man, the Holy Spirit transforms his heart of stone

Regeneration, through the Holy Spirit, precedes faith for sure
First comes the effectual call, we’re redeemed from the Fall, and our wicked nature

When we repent and believe the Gospel, our souls are quickened, and we’re born again
We receive a new nature by the Holy Spirit, so we are now at war with the flesh and sin

Christ was our propitiation; we received His perfect righteousness
Our sin was imputed to Him; this is not nominalism, thanks to God’s graciousness

Upon being born again, we change in our whole ontology
No longer slaves to the flesh, we become righteous, you see

On a beautiful
Spring day
Underneath an oak tree
I did lay

I sat in
The lush green grass
I was so joyous
I didn’t notice the time pass

Acorns were scattered
All over the ground
A squirrel sat in the tree
It didn’t make a sound

Beneath the tree
I read a Shakespeare play
I fell asleep
It’s been a wonderful day

I left the park
And headed home
My time in nature was great
Thus ends my poem
