Down in the Dumps
As weak as can be
Have almost no energy
Filled with lethargyFatigued and feeling low
Full of woe
Not feeling aproposStuck in a deep depression
Have poor digestion
Poor perceptionMy stomach growls
My face scowls
My spirit howlsI long to run and play
But I’m stuck in dismay
Can’t do much todayby Zachary Uram

Just Say No to Lusts of the Flesh
I was never kissed
I am not remissBy God’s grace
I am chasteA virgin I’ll remain
Till the very last refrainNo woman shall defile me
In Christ I am totally freeI am as happy as can be
As I live my life sex freeScripture says abstinence is superior
Marriage is quite inferiorTo Christ I shall be wed
No sex for me till I’m deadby Zachary Uram

The time is right
For a sweet delight
There’s something
In the air tonightI run at full speed
I’m satisfying a need
I found what I sought
I am finally freedTraveling at a superluminal pace
I’m the apex of the human race
I pass by galaxies
I am always on the chaseI travel through time
I am alpha prime
I stop at a monastery
I hear the church bells chimeby Zachary Uram

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 friendby Zachary Uram

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 saintsby Zachary Uram

A Mighty Redeemer

I was lost at sea
Drowning
When Christ appeared
Before meHe was walking on water
Christ defied
The laws
Of physics properChrist sought me out
On my own
I could do nothing
This is a reason to shoutGod chose me
Before the foundation
Of the world
To set me freeChrist died for His elect
His precious blood
Made atonement
For those God did selectFaith and repentance
Are gifts from God
Regeneration precedes faith
They are not happenstanceJesus was born
Of a virgin
In a stable
On that cold December mornHe is both
Totally divine
And totally human
I swear it under oathChrist died on the cross
At Calvary
This great sacrifice
It seeme to be an utter lossBut the grave
Could not hold Him
On the third day He was resurrected
By a supernatural energy waveSpread the Good News

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 hogby Zachary Uram

A Plea to Roman Catholics
I’m a
Modern Puritan
It’s the
Reformed religionI am a
Reformed Baptist
I rebuke
Every PapistI affirm
Baptism of believers
Not baptism
Of unbelieversCome out
Of the Romish church
Leave Catholic theology
In the lurchBaptizing a baby
Is of no good effect
It just
Gets them wetIn the Romish church
The true gospel was lost
The Reformers recovered it
At a high costThe Papists trusted
In traditions of men
It was
A theological pigpenThey trusted traditions
Over God’s Word
Obeyed a fallible Magisterium
How absurdWe have the 5 Solas
To guide us
They are
A biblical compassCalvinism keeps
Our understanding straight
It respects God’s Word
And gives it weightShare the gospel
With Papists
They must be born again
Not rely on a pope or priestsby Zachary Uram

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 Wordby Zachary Uram

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 findby Zachary Uram
