• Down in the Dumps

    As weak as can be
    Have almost no energy
    Filled with lethargy

    Fatigued and feeling low
    Full of woe
    Not feeling apropos

    Stuck in a deep depression
    Have poor digestion
    Poor perception

    My stomach growls
    My face scowls
    My spirit howls

    I long to run and play
    But I’m stuck in dismay
    Can’t do much today

  • Just Say No to Lusts of the Flesh

    I was never kissed
    I am not remiss

    By God’s grace
    I am chaste

    A virgin I’ll remain
    Till the very last refrain

    No woman shall defile me
    In Christ I am totally free

    I am as happy as can be
    As I live my life sex free

    Scripture says abstinence is superior
    Marriage is quite inferior

    To Christ I shall be wed
    No sex for me till I’m dead

    The time is right
    For a sweet delight
    There’s something
    In the air tonight

    I run at full speed
    I’m satisfying a need
    I found what I sought
    I am finally freed

    Traveling at a superluminal pace
    I’m the apex of the human race
    I pass by galaxies
    I am always on the chase

    I travel through time
    I am alpha prime
    I stop at a monastery
    I hear the church bells chime

  • Vi

    My dear sister Vi
    Is very talented
    She is
    A published poet
    An accomplished artist
    She’s overcome
    Much adversity
    And tribulations
    In her life
    Her first semester
    Of her sophomore year
    At Seton Hill College
    She developed
    Paranoid schizophrenia
    And major depression
    She had intense
    Delusions
    She was institutionalized
    For 10 months
    At Mayview
    State mental hospital
    She returned to school
    And did better
    With each semester
    Her final semester
    Of her senior year
    She missed
    The Dean’s List
    By one tenth of one percent
    On August 31st, 2001
    She finally graduated
    After facing
    Huge mental obstacles
    And severe challenges
    It was
    A huge achievement
    I am so proud of Vi
    She is my hero
    I love her
    More than mere words
    Can express
    She got an A
    In Shakespeare
    She wrote 10 essays
    And got an A
    On each essay
    The professor
    Was so impressed
    They shared
    One of her essays
    At a Shakespeare conference
    Vi is my roommate
    And my best friend

  • America the Lost

    Over fifty million
    Innocent lives
    Snuffed out by their mothers
    Through abortion
    Cold blooded murder
    Their blood has screamed out
    For justice
    They ask God to bring
    His holy vengeance
    Against America
    The Land of the Free
    Turned into
    The Land of Genocide
    America turned its back
    On the Lord
    Popular culture
    Is now pagan
    Society is post-Christian
    How far we have strayed
    From our Founding Fathers
    They were by and large
    Protestant men of deep faith
    We are no longer
    That shining city
    Upon a hill
    Pray saints
    Pray that America would turn
    Back to Christ
    Pray for sincere repentance
    And mass revival
    We need another
    Great Awakening
    God may yet spare our land
    From nuclear annihilation
    Pray saints

  • A Mighty Redeemer

    I was lost at sea
    Drowning
    When Christ appeared
    Before me

    He was walking on water
    Christ defied
    The laws
    Of physics proper

    Christ sought me out
    On my own
    I could do nothing
    This is a reason to shout

    God chose me
    Before the foundation
    Of the world
    To set me free

    Christ died for His elect
    His precious blood
    Made atonement
    For those God did select

    Faith and repentance
    Are gifts from God
    Regeneration precedes faith
    They are not happenstance

    Jesus was born
    Of a virgin
    In a stable
    On that cold December morn

    He is both
    Totally divine
    And totally human
    I swear it under oath

    Christ died on the cross
    At Calvary
    This great sacrifice
    It seeme to be an utter loss

    But the grave
    Could not hold Him
    On the third day He was resurrected
    By a supernatural energy wave

    Spread the Good News
    To both young and old
    Rich and poor
    Gentiles and Jews

    I will howl
    At the moon
    I’m stronger
    Than a typhoon
    I’m feeling
    Rather insane
    I have a
    Defective brain
    I will bray
    Like a jackass
    Who knows when
    This insanity
    Will pass
    I shall bark
    Like a dog
    And snort
    Like a hog

  • A Plea to Roman Catholics

    I’m a
    Modern Puritan
    It’s the
    Reformed religion

    I am a
    Reformed Baptist
    I rebuke
    Every Papist

    I affirm
    Baptism of believers
    Not baptism
    Of unbelievers

    Come out
    Of the Romish church
    Leave Catholic theology
    In the lurch

    Baptizing a baby
    Is of no good effect
    It just
    Gets them wet

    In the Romish church
    The true gospel was lost
    The Reformers recovered it
    At a high cost

    The Papists trusted
    In traditions of men
    It was
    A theological pigpen

    They trusted traditions
    Over God’s Word
    Obeyed a fallible Magisterium
    How absurd

    We have the 5 Solas
    To guide us
    They are
    A biblical compass

    Calvinism keeps
    Our understanding straight
    It respects God’s Word
    And gives it weight

    Share the gospel
    With Papists
    They must be born again
    Not rely on a pope or priests

  • Born Again

    To be saved
    One must be
    Born from above
    Born by
    The Spirit
    Ye must be
    Born again
    Jesus told
    Nicodemus
    Salvation is
    All God
    And none man
    We do not
    Merit
    God’s grace
    It is wholly
    Monergistic
    We were
    Spiritually dead
    The Holy Spirit
    Quickens new life
    In us
    Our heart
    Of stone
    Is changed
    To a heart
    Of flesh
    Only those
    God predestined
    To be saved
    Will be
    God’s children
    Through adoption
    The Elect are
    Chosen by God
    According to
    His will
    Not because
    Of any intrinsic
    Quality or action
    On our part
    God commands us
    To repent and
    Believe
    The Gospel
    That Christ
    The sinless Messiah
    Died for our
    Sins
    On Calvary
    He is totally
    God
    And totally man
    He rose
    On the
    Third day
    Repentance
    And faith
    Are gifts
    Faith comes
    By hearing
    God’s Word

  • A Journey Into A Disturbed Mind

    Last night
    I was rather
    Stranged
    This morning
    I feel quite
    Deranged
    I am totally
    Psychotic
    I may seem
    Rather neurotic
    Alas
    My sanity
    Did wane
    I have
    A malfunctioning
    Brain
    My medications
    Are psychoactive
    They alter
    My perspective
    I will soon
    Be well
    As far as
    I can tell
    I will be
    The picture
    Of good
    Mental health
    I do not
    Need wealth
    I just need
    A sound mind
    Oh what a
    Treasure it
    Would be
    To find
