I left today
On a crazy journey

I walked very slow
Didn’t know where to go

I ran in the rain
It made me insane

I walked down the street
I couldn’t be beat

I growled like a dog
My belly is huge like a hog

I barked at the cars
And even the bars

I bellowed at the cat
I forgot my hat

I’m totally insane
I have a malfunctioning brain

I am psychotic today
I do not want to play

I will ride a moose
As we trail the caboose

A moment
In the past
Frozen in time
Captured on film
Something that
Will last
Native Americans
Believed
A photograph
Of them
Would capture
Their soul
How many people
Today
Believe that
If I took
A poll
All those
Smiling faces
Are now
Long gone
Their lives
Snuffed out
They had
Their moments
To shone

Feeling high
Wondering why

Take many a psychoactive drug
Now I feel like a slug

My brain’s faulty operation
Causes me great consternation

My thought are chaotic
Sometimes I’m psychotic

Yearn to be free
From this mental misery

Want a whole mind
Hoping someday it I’ll find

Until then I’ll sleep
Relying on Christ’s grace so deep

I left
Earth today
In a most
Unusual way

Using my
Mind’s power
I traveled
With grandeur

A phased
Mind warp
My consciousness
In an energy orb

I soon
Sped along
Singing
A happy song

I was now at
Superluminal speed
This journey
I really did need

I flew past
Galaxies
Nebula
And planets’ apogees

A black hole
Nearly sucked me in
But due to my speed
That did not happen

Racing through
The cosmos was great
But it was getting
Rather late

I raced
Back home
Another day and
The universe I’d roam

When I rise
In the morn
I praise the Lord
Even if feeling forlorn

I put on
My spiritual armor
Equipped fully
And thank the Father

Demons
I shall slay
It happens
Every day

My mind
Is complex
A witch tried
To give me a hex

I fight
The dark
I dream of daylight
I hit the mark

Sigh no more
We depart
For the
Celestial shore
It is sin
I abhor
I desire to
Sin no more

My sister Vi
Is out of sight
She helps me
Often
She’s a pure
Delight
She made
My bed tonight

We trust
In Christ alone
His radiance
Has shone
In Him
We are free
No more
Misery

We pray
For America
She has
Lost her way
Once close
To God
She is now
Far away

Repentance
Is needed
For us
To once more
Be
That shining
City
Upon a hill

My dear sister Vi
Is the best
Cleaning and cooking
While I rest

She is selfless
And caring too
I’m truly thankful
She made me lamb stew

Vi doesn’t complain
She works so hard
She cooks all the time
But she doesn’t use lard

She helps me
With my meds
She even makes sure
To make our beds

I would be lost
Without her aid
I love her so much
She is more than a maid

No task great or small
Does Vi eschew
Dearest sister
I love living with you

Easter is here
Celebrating Jesus’s resurrection
Time for cheer

Christ died on the cross
He bore God’s full wrath
It seemed a great loss

But on the third day He rose
Defeating death, sin and Satan
Was liberated from death’s throes

Christ died for you and me
He was our perfect sinless sacrifice
His sovereign grace sets man free

How are we saved you inquire
We are chosen by God
Born again not by our desire

Oh profligate man your sin is immense
Our federal head Adam fell and so did we
God requires a recompense

God provides a way of salvation
Repent of your sin sincerely
Believe the gospel without reservation

So be born from above
By the power of the Holy Spirit
You are saved because of God’s love

The sun is shining today
I feel totally gay

I’m as happy as a lark
If I get mad I’ll bark

I will lay in bed
And rest my weary head

I lost my mind long ago
My psychosis does show

I have delusions too
The bad ones I eschew

I long to run and play
I can’t much to my dismay

Someday I’ll be well
I’ll walk and feel swell

As for now I count the time
I read and rhyme
