A Million Lies.

Sometimes I ponder and I wonder how many of us "Christians", or even Bible college students, are more than just puppets.

they bow 
in hypocritical silence 
make show 
of a million lies

the greatest humility
on display
brought forth to be
in a prideful way

sing of joy
unbounded, free
bitterness, deep
the true reality

they preach and scream
of a Consuming Fire
with a voice asleep
to all holy desire

the Bible to be read
merely the thing to do
prayers offered
 yet in every heart untrue

rules to enforce
preeminent
love unconditional
scarcely evident

judged, condemned
each one by another
“be ye kind”
a social blunder

of a million lies
each deed and word
living “perfect” lives
outward show preferred

Stuck With You.

A year ago today

I sought to be a breeze

To go and to stray

Wherever I might please

I didn't like the feeling

Of entanglement

Continually revealing

My own estrangement

I will stay my own

Till in my soul desire will be

There by another desire sown

(Till then I am only me)

But today

My breeze becomes a breath

A sigh, as you say

"I'm stuck with you"

"I hope so"

The only stupid words

These I murmur low

They're only stupid words

To ask of you a promise

When I no promise give

Not for the lack of this

But the words to make it live

You see, "I hope so"

I hope you're stuck with me

Cause I'm stuck too, you know

Somewhat irrevocably
