• Insomnia and Delirium: 3am Verse

    The children
    Are made insane
    By the noxious
    Acid rain

    Trapped in a pyramid
    Of doom
    I have a feeling
    Of gloom

    I travel
    Across deep space
    The speed of light
    I race

    White genocide
    Is real
    The declining birthrate
    Is fatal

    I will jump
    Over the moon
    And swim
    In a monsoon

    I am sick
    In my brain
    Mental illness
    Causes pain

    I will climb
    The highest mountain
    And live
    In a log cabin

  • Full Ire

    I rage
    Through the
    Pitch black
    Night
    I defeat
    A Satanic mage
    I was caught
    In a cage
    I am now free
    I shall slay
    The witch coven
    They almost
    Had me
    In their oven
    The power
    Of Christ
    Can defeat
    Any foe
    I annihilate
    The atheists
    In Hell
    They shall burn
    Unless
    From their sin
    They turn
    We the Elect
    Were chosen
    By God
    We are justified
    By faith alone
    It is Christ
    Who for us
    Did atone
    Regeneration
    Comes first
    Then we receive
    Twin gifts
    Of faith
    And repentance
    Christ is both
    Our Lord
    And Savior
    Moving ahead
    I defeat
    A werewolf
    And a vampire
    Together
    They did conspire
    To destroy me
    But I have
    The last laugh
    I’m full of glee

  • Alive in Christ: Sanctification and Mortification

    Heaven is our home
    We’re living in Christ
    We have no need to roam

    We must daily
    Take up our cross
    Ourselves we must sanctify

    It’s a work of God the Father
    We are conformed to Christ in all ways
    Our lives bear the good fruit; we must master

    Sanctification is necessary to be holy
    It’s hard work indeed
    Being born again, we are freed truly

    I thank God Almighty
    For sovereign grace
    It alone can save the human race completely

    Redeeming grace is irresistible, you see
    It is strictly monergistic
    God changes our disposition acutely

    After the Holy Spirit quickens our dead souls
    We are a new creation in Christ the Lord
    We are born again and have new goals

    With faith and repentance
    God gifts us
    We desire to obey Him with diligence

    We must run a good race
    Mortifying our sinful flesh
    Christ is our base

  • Musings on the Lord’s Day

    The leaves on the tree
    Dance in the sunlight
    They are a pleasant delight

    Shafts of light
    Beam into my bedroom
    Dispelling doom

    I hear cardinals
    Making music so sweet
    Listening is quite the treat

    As I lie in my bed
    The hours quickly go by
    A tear falls from my eye

    I have major depression
    Trapped in a state of fatigue
    Mental illness is out of my league

    I don’t have any energy
    I’m usually lethargic
    In addition, I’m psychotic

    I take many
    A psychotropic drug
    I have no reason to be smug

    I fight demons
    During the day and night
    They give me a fright

    In heaven, I will be
    Totally whole
    My mind is linked with my soul

    I won’t give up
    I’ll keep fighting every day
    That’s all I have to say

  • An Overview of How We Are Saved

    In the Garden of Eden
    Man walked with God
    Such intimacy was amazing
    They walked on the lush green sod

    But the Serpent
    Convinced man to sin
    To be redeemed
    He would need a propitiation

    This Fall
    Would corrupt every man
    All are affected by original sin
    From the Garden, man faced a ban

    But God was not
    Done with man
    Out of love
    To earth came the Son of Man

    He alone
    Would save the human race
    Look at Christ the Lord
    See His face

    God predestined His Elect
    They were not chosen
    Because of any inherent quality
    Man’s soul was broken

    The Holy Spirit
    Quickens faith in the Elect’s soul
    It goes from spiritually dead to alive
    We are made whole

    Regeneration precedes faith
    We are saved by God’s sovereign grace
    Totally depraved are we
    Before salvation, we are in a bad place

    But Christ is a mighty Redeemer
    At Calvary, He suffered and died for our sin
    The spotless Lamb bore God’s full wrath
    But He would eventually win

    On the third day
    Of being dead in the tomb
    Christ resurrected
    He banished the gloom

    Jesus is the God-Man
    Fully human and fully divine
    He defeated death, sin, and Satan
    Jesus is the true Vine

    The Elect are God’s chosen
    We are regenerated instantly
    And we’re saved by grace alone
    Through faith alone, you see

  • An Honest Appraisal

    The time is right
    For a special delight
    Something in the air tonight

    My mind is disturbed
    Thoughts are perturbed
    My insanity is slightly curbed

    Demons visit me at night
    They cause quite a fright
    They are in my sight

    I sometimes get quite irate
    Standing by the gate
    I rebuke Satan’s hate

    I am sometimes quite insane
    I have a defective brain
    My body is in pain

    I run in the rain
    Feel alive and urbane
    I want to break every chain

    At times, I bark at the moon
    It makes the ladies swoon
    I wish we had a monsoon

    I am mad as hell
    Don’t ring my bell
    I’ll visit the chapel

    Jesus is always there for me
    Our faith is key
    From Satan I will flee

    I laugh like a madman
    I have a plan
    I am rather sullen

  • First Among Equals

    I went on a journey
    Within my mind
    What wonders I did find

    My mind is a raging maelstrom
    Of pure energy
    It is truly mighty

    I have traveled near and far
    Using phased mind warps, you see
    Traveling to any spacetime history

    I can travel the universe
    Without ever leaving my home
    My consciousness can surely roam

    On Earth, I am a giant among men
    I am Primus Inter Pares, indubitably
    This is my destiny

    I can annihilate any foe
    With just one thought
    I was always the victor when I fought

    I spend my time
    In theological study and contemplation
    Studying the Scriptures gives me elation

  • Spiritual Warfare

    A battle rages
    Between the carnal man’s strife
    And the Spirit-filled life

    Unregenerate man is spiritually blind
    I walk by faith in Christ alone
    He is the one who did atone

    Powers and principalities fight for us
    Our God is sovereign and mighty
    Christ shines so brightly

    We must deny the carnal in us
    Spiritual warfare is key
    God’s ways are a mystery

    We must stand on God’s Word
    To the Holy Scriptures we must submit
    Our salvation we can never forfeit

    I will spread the Gospel
    Until I draw my last breath
    Nothing can separate me from Christ, not even death

    The Lord rebuke you, Satan
    This is what I’ll say
    When demons come my way

  • The Halcyon Days of My Youth

    I ran barefoot
    In the lush and cool
    Summer grass

    The sun’s warmth
    Makes me feel at peace
    I relax in a lawn chair

    I watch monarch butterflies
    Dance around in the air
    They eat from the honeysuckle

    I walk down to the creek
    I knock down the water weeds
    My sisters, Vi and Tanya, join me

    We pick cicada shells
    Off the pine trees
    The sap smells wonderful

    Vi and I go to the Big Yard
    We roll around in the grass
    I bury a big plastic coin

    The ice cream truck pulls up
    We get flavored ice cones
    My favorite is blue raspberry

    We buy foot-long strawberry licorice
    And buttered popcorn
    How I long for those days

    When the street lights come on
    It’s time to go home for dinner
    We run home and wash our hands

    These childhood memories
    They are very dear to me
    It was when I was truly happy

    The loss of childhood innocence
    It’s a terrible thing
    Knowledge of evil is terrible

  • I Have Mental Illness

    I’m mentally ill
    I take many a pill

    I lost my mind
    It I cannot find

    Sometimes I’m manic
    My thoughts are frantic

    I suffer from neurosis
    As well as psychosis

    I have delusions galore
    And hallucinations, I abhor

    Anxiety disorder, I have indeed
    I wish to be freed

    Sometimes I get a dissociative event
    My sanity is bent

    Schizophrenia plagues me a lot
    Major depression makes my mind rot

    I long for my mind to be whole
    I endure a mental Sheol

    I pray for God’s help
    My mind does yelp
