• A New Crusade

    I am a Knight Templar
    My mission at hand
    Was to liberate the Holy Land

    The enemy, the Saracens, is formidable
    They spread like a cancer
    Invaders, the believers could not counter

    Many Christians
    Were raped and murdered
    Their heads were severed

    They forced millions of believers
    To convert
    Much evil they did assert

    My army was vast
    We fought for Christendom
    To win our brothers and sisters’ freedom

    Our forces were
    100 million men
    All ready to die and go to heaven

    I gave the order
    We launched many a nuke
    This was no fluke

    Our ICBMs fell on the enemy
    Like rain
    This is my joyful refrain

    Many countries we attacked
    Mecca was nuked fast
    The Saracens didn’t last

    We overwhelmed and destroyed
    The enemy
    We could finally celebrate our victory

  • Demon Slayer

    I was lying in bed
    It was very late at night
    Suddenly I had a fright

    I felt an evil presence
    I saw the flames of hell
    I detected a sulfur smell

    To my surprise
    Two demons appeared
    Christ they feared

    They blasphemed God
    Screaming profanities
    And vulgarities

    I rebuked the demons
    By reading Scripture aloud
    I read it very loud

    This went on for a long time
    It was during the Witching Hour
    I relied on God’s power

    I finally yelled, “The Lord rebuke you!”
    The demons screamed
    And flew away defeated

  • My Halcyon Childhood

    Our childhood friends
    Mark, Bobby, and Brian
    We played all day
    Running around
    The neighborhood
    Every day
    Was an adventure
    We used
    Our imagination
    We had joy
    From simple things
    We were active
    All the time
    In the summer
    We stayed out till
    The street lights
    Came on
    We went swimming
    At the Brentwood pool
    We got snow cones
    Rope licorice
    Push-up pops
    And popcorn
    In winter
    We reveled in the snow
    Going sled riding
    Building snowmen
    Making angels
    In the snow
    We had many a snowball
    Fight
    And Christmas was
    A truly special
    Time of the year
    We always had
    A fresh huge
    Christmas tree
    We helped decorate
    Our tree
    Colored blinking lights
    Christmas morning
    We beheld
    A mountain of
    Wrapped gifts
    We had baked ham
    On paska bread
    With horseradish
    And the succulent
    Fresh kielbasa
    For Spring
    The flowers were in
    Full bloom
    Green lush grass
    Soon appeared
    Trees got
    Leaves again
    We looked forward
    To Easter
    On Easter morning
    We searched for our
    Easter baskets
    It was thrilling
    We got so much
    Tasty candy
    We went to church
    Around noon
    At the Community
    Of The Crucified One
    We loved hearing
    Uncle Eddie’s sermon
    He was our uncle
    Spiritually
    Everyone
    Called him that
    In Autumn
    We went shopping
    For new shoes
    And clothes for school
    It was so much fun
    We also got a book bag
    Folders, lead pencils
    An eraser, pens
    And a calculator
    I loved walking outside
    In the early morning
    As a cold rain fell
    I exhaled
    And saw my breath
    Linger in the air
    The colored leaves
    Were so beautiful
    Next came Thanksgiving
    We had a huge turkey
    Stuffing
    Mushroom gravy
    Craberry gel
    Whole cranberries
    Brussel sprouts
    Green beans
    Sweet potatoes
    With brown sugar
    And marshmallows
    Mashed potatoes
    Pierogies
    My childhood
    It is precious to me
    I have so many
    Happy memories

  • PURE ENERGY

    I am an exalted being
    My powers you are seeing

    I have God given authority
    To exegete Scripture flawlessly

    The Holy Spirit led me to all truth
    The Word of God I discern forsooth

    I am a time traveler
    And a master debater

    I love studying the Scripture
    My mind has no strictures

    The sacramental churches are wrong
    God will make their swan song

    By faith alone we are justified
    This is due to Christ crucified

    You must be born again
    To have salvation and go to heaven

    God made me a visionary
    This gift is necessary

    I warn the USA of a nuclear holocaust
    All will be lost

    America is the Great Whore of Babylon
    Its population shall soon be gone

    Christ anointed me as a high priest
    I share the Good News with the least

    I am a pastor
    Ordained by Jesus, Whom I honor

  • Chastity

    I am a virgin
    We are not animals, per Darwin

    Man is no beast
    We have an eternal spirit

    Christ keeps me chaste
    I will not let it go to waste

    Swimsuits are an occasion of sin
    This is for all, whether fat or thin

    I have no sex, you see
    It doesn’t defile me

    Sex is gross and animalistic
    My analysis is scientific

    I will not hug or kiss
    Being chaste is pure bliss

    I am abstinent
    Thanks to Christ

    I reject the degeneracy
    To serve God fully, I am free

    For many, sex is an idol
    It will drag them to hell

  • Salvation in Christ Alone

    With happiness
    I am replete
    Thanks to Christ
    Satan, He did defeat

    Christ died
    At Calvary
    He did it
    To set man free

    He lived a sinless life
    The Lamb of God
    Sacrificed due to our sin
    Him alone I applaud

    Christ rose from the dead
    On the third day, Sunday, you see
    He defeated death and sin
    Proving His divinity

    On the Cross
    Christ bled for our sin
    He endured God’s wrath
    He was a propitiation

    Our sin
    Was imputed to the Lord
    We received His righteousness
    I stand on God’s Word

    Thank God
    For Scripture alone
    Our faith is predicated on it
    It was Christ Who did atone

  • Full Power

    My knowledge is elite
    I can’t be beat

    I’m an exalted being
    Know who you’re seeing

    I am a visionary
    Don’t be contrary

    My knowledge is elite
    I can’t be beat

    I have received visions
    Won’t bring divisions

    Have traveled through time
    With phased mind warps so sublime

    I’ve been studying God’s Word
    Since 1982, it’s my sword

  • Pure Spirit

    I have mental issues
    Of the mind
    It is insanity
    That I find

    My mind was ravaged
    I was in deep pain
    No matter the time
    My mental hurt didn’t wane

    I cried out
    To Jesus in despair
    Mental illness had ravaged me
    And He was there

    Christ was in the flesh
    In my bedroom
    He ordained me a pastor at last
    And anointed me as a high priest

    Then Jesus disappeared
    I felt so much peace in my mind
    On my own I would be lost
    He was so kind

  • The Joys of Christmas

    Christmas is
    A magical time of year
    People are warm hearted
    And full of cheer

    In a lowly manger
    Christ was born
    On a cold
    December morn

    God’s love
    Christ did bestow
    As time passed by
    He did grow

    Ginger bread men
    And cookies too
    For holiday food
    There’s nothing I eschew

    My big sister Vi and I
    Took a sleigh ride
    Pulled by horses
    On each side

    In the first week
    Of December
    We buy our Christmas tree
    Christ is why we remember

    The greatest gift we can receive
    Is salvation in Christ alone
    We are chosen by God
    Because at Calvary Jesus did atone

    I wish you a very Merry Christmas
    And a Happy New Year
    Let there be peace on earth
    And may no child have fear

  • A Thunderstorm in Spring

    Storm clouds move in
    Dark and ominous
    My umbrella isn’t superfluous

    From my bedroom window
    I watch the torrential rain
    It helps to keep me sane

    As the storm approached us
    Lightning sizzles in the sky
    Purple plasma could make a man die

    The winds
    Blow fiercely you see
    Shaking the tree branches vigorously

    The air smells fresh
    My senses are heightened
    I feel so alive
    I am not frightened

    It’s raining powerful now
    Wind is blowing the rain horizontally
    After ten minutes the storm is gone
    I thank God for this storm totally
