• My Life With Major Depression

    I’ve been in
    A deep malaise
    It’s gone on
    For days

    I lack any
    motivation
    I don’t feel
    Any elation

    I lost interest
    In things I used to do
    My depression
    Hit out of the blue

    I feel like
    A beached whale
    I wish in life’s ocean
    I could sail

    I would like to run
    And laugh and play
    Instead I face
    Utter dismay

    I hope one day
    My mind will be whole
    Until then
    I live on the dole

    Life with mental illness
    It is no easy thing
    I dream of Heaven
    And the joy it will bring

  • A Christmas Eve Poem

    The Virgin Mary
    Held her newborn Son
    Jesus the Savior
    No room at the inn

    In a manger
    The Infant Jesus lay
    The animals beheld
    His majesty

    Jesus is fully Man
    And fully Divine
    His first miracle
    Turned water into wine

    Jesus has never
    Forsaken me
    From sin
    He set me free

    Jesus died
    On the cross
    He gave up His Spirit
    It was a great loss

    On the third day, Jesus rose
    Death could not hold Him
    He resurrected instantly
    This was not done on a whim

    Jesus has power
    Over death and sin
    He was a powerful
    Propitiation

    When we are born again
    Following repentance and belief
    Jesus mediates salvation
    Even for the good thief

    If you wish to be saved
    You must believe in Christ alone
    And repent sincerely
    It is for man that He did atone

    Spread the gospel
    Both near and far
    It is life to those in darkness
    Behold the Christmas star

  • Decline of the West

    Western civilization is now neo-pagan and post-Christian.

    It’s a sad irony that Christianity spread by converting pagan tribes. Yet now, there has been a significant decline. Degeneracy thrives. The popular culture is depraved and anti-Christian.

    America was founded as a Christian nation.

    Liberal/Leftist/Socialist European nations have fallen, too. They have a low birth rate. Millions of Muslims have been imported into France, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Britain, etc. They have huge birth rates.

    It’s only a matter of time before Islam will enjoy supremacy in Western Europe.

    What Muslims couldn’t accomplish militarily, they will gain through the liberal politicians who welcomed the enemy into their nations.

    America must learn from Western Europe’s mistakes.

    We have atheists, secular humanists, widespread belief in the evolution of species, agnostics, socialists, communists, and Muslims.

    I pray it is not too late to change course in America.

    But I believe judgment is coming. It will be swift and brutal.

  • Imagination

    On a cold winter night
    I dreamt of the beach
    I’ve never been there
    It’s just beyond my reach

    I travel the cosmos
    Using a phased mind warp
    I hear sweet music
    It’s a harp

    I have
    A very active imagination
    Since I was little
    I daily seek sanctification

    I want to fly
    High above in a plane
    But alas, I’m afraid of flight
    I don’t want to go insane

    I want to ride
    A wild horse
    But it’s too dangerous
    Of course

    I want to swim
    In the ocean
    But I’m scared
    Of the motion

    I will climb a tree
    To see the park
    If I go high enough
    I’ll spot a lark

  • Immanuel

    Jesus came
    To earth
    So man could have
    The second birth

    He came
    From above
    Because of
    Jesus’ love

    The image of God
    Was lost in the Fall
    It is restored
    After the effectual call

    Jesus took on human flesh
    He incarnated as the God Man
    Fully divine and fully man
    It was according to God’s plan

    God’s love for man
    It is so pure and true
    When Jesus saves us
    There’s no sin He will eschew

    At Calvary
    Jesus paid the ultimate price
    All our sins were imputed to Him
    Jesus took on every vice

    Once regenerated, all our sins
    Are completely forgiven
    Past, present, and future
    To us, God’s mercy is given

  • Christ the Lord

    Christ was born
    On a holy night
    His countenance
    Shone bright

    He is the eternal Logos
    Second Person of the Trinity
    He suffered and died
    So man would be free

    Free from Satan’s schemes
    And the power of sin
    The sinless Christ was
    A true propitiation

    Once regenerated
    The Image of God is restored
    Thanks to the atonement
    Of Christ the Lord

    I thank God
    For His sovereign grace
    It alone
    Can save the human race

    At Calvary Christ paid
    The ultimate price
    We are saved
    From every vice

    He ascended to Heaven
    Christ will return
    Those souls not in Him
    In Hell they shall burn

  • Roman Catholicism: A Polemical Protestant Perspective

    Transubstantiation
    It is erroneous, you see
    Christ is sacrificed perpetually
    It’s spiritual food only

    Purgatory is
    A deadly fiction completely
    When we die, we go to
    Heaven or hell immediately

    It has sent billions to Hell
    Baptismal regeneration
    Infant baptism is false
    It is an abomination

    Millions perished due to
    The Inquisition
    A cruel and evil thing
    It was a Satanic invention

    The Catholic sacraments
    Have no power to save a soul
    Only those who are born again
    Can escape Sheol

    The virgin Mary conceived
    After the Holy Spirit overshadowed her
    After His birth, Joseph and Mary had
    Other children, this much is clear

    The Catholic so-called
    Infallible magisterium
    It is utterly false; they have no authority
    It’s an exercise in delirium

    I won’t attend
    A Catholic mass
    It is something
    I will pass

    We should confess directly to God
    Confession to a priest
    It is not found in Scripture
    I like this the least

    The pope is in no way
    The vicar of Christ, you see
    Many popes were wicked
    It’s documented history

    Mary was not immaculate
    She was a sinner indeed
    She needed her Son Christ
    To be freed

    Mary was not assumed
    Into heaven at all
    She is buried under a church
    She was mortal

  • Belly Smacking Forever

    I smack it fast
    I smack it slow
    Smacking my belly
    Is the way to go

    I smack my belly
    Hot and cold
    Smacking it
    Never grows old

    I smack it at night
    I smack it in the day
    Smacking my belly
    Makes me feel gay

    I smack my belly lightly
    And smack it strong
    Smacking my belly
    Is never wrong

    I smack it
    At Christmas, you see
    Smacking my belly
    Makes me feel free

    I smack it
    While I watch TV
    Smacking my belly
    Fills me with glee

    I smack it during the summer
    And winter too
    Smaking it is something
    I’ll never eschew

    I dream of smacking it
    While I sleep
    If I can’t smack it
    I’ll weep

    I’ll smack it today
    I’ll smack it tomorrow
    If I don’t smack it
    I’ll be full of sorrow

    I love smacking my belly
    I smack it with perfection
    I will smack it forever
    Smacking it is my obsession

  • C’est moi

    Please listen
    To my sad tale
    I lie in bed all day
    Like a beached whale

    Often I feel blue
    I have major depression
    Energy I lack
    It’s a tough situation

    I have no motivation
    I feel sad a lot
    It seems my mind
    Is in a knot

    I may bark
    Like a dog
    Or squeal
    Like a big hog

    I will bray
    Like a jackass
    I won’t attend
    A Catholic mass

    I am as Reformed
    As one can be
    The Holy Spirit revealed
    Every doctrinal mystery

    I will flap my arms
    And fly like a bird
    Don’t think
    That I’m absurd

    I smack my gargantuan gut
    During the day and night
    Smacking it is
    Always a delight

  • Pure Energy

    I am
    An exalted being
    Reality is much more
    Than what you’re seeing

    I have
    Mastered time
    My travels are
    So sublime

    I receive
    Visions
    God equipped me
    With provisions

    Some people
    Call me crazy
    My cognition
    Is rather hazy

    My dear sister Vi
    Is a frisky pup
    Tonight
    She shall sup

    I cut
    Many a hot toot
    They destroyed
    Beirut

    My behemoth belly
    I love to smack
    It is rotund
    Fullness it doesn’t lack
