Identity Theft

But God…

“Open Sesame !”

Weight of the world
on that little girl;
on her narrow shoulders,
Joshua Tree Monument`s boulders...

Yet, Eve does her best
to work and provide
for her sons and her daughters
while Adam does hide...

But, he too, like you
has his own inner pain
that derails and curtails
his fight to prove sane...

Then, there`s Ol` Scratch
who loves itchy ears,
that he fills full of lies
that bring one to tears...

But, the Lord`s way is just—
if only we`d follow—
He`d fill us with Wine
to enjoy as we swallow !

So, wherever you are
and wherever you`ve been;
stop, what you`re doing
and make Jesus your friend.”

No, you don`t need a dime
or a smart phone provider:
for His love reaches from Heaven to hell,
and His arms are much wider !

So, if you will please,
get down on your knees
and pour out your heart
like on a canvas for art.

Hold nothing back
like any author knows well:
Give Him your pain,
Give Him your hell.

Then, He will come—
for you, He`s waited so long—
And He`ll give you His life
and in your heart a new song !

“Lament for Our Parents”

Oh Eve, what has Adam done to you?

Demand that you reveal your parts
while not giving a damn about your heart.

Oh Adam, what has Eve done to you ?

Manipulate and control
so that she, your very manhood, stole.

Oh, Adam and Eve, what has sin done to you?

Pervert and corrupt what was pure and innocent;
and make grow old and slowly die, negating
God the Father`s good intent.

“Stand by Me”

Indeed, Eve, your arms are open
to hold what man you can
but unless your Adam leaves you
he will never stand.

There are wheels that assist a child
to help him learn to ride
but unless he learns to go without
his fears will not subside...

Oh sure, Eve, your smile comforts
and your breasts have their appeal
but to be, a man alone should stand
and keep and even keel.

It`s not that he don`t love you
just, he loves His Savior even more;
so, come what may, be assured someday
you`ll meet on that approaching shore.

So, dry your eye, please don`t cry
Be strong ! And understand;
and be assured, you, I still adore
though I know longer hold your hand...

And when the mountains crumble
and fall into the sea;
and all that`s seen before our eyes
slips into eternity;
it`s there then in His presence
where by His grace again we`ll see;
and when our eyes again doth meet,
I`ll say, “Thank you, for standing by me.”

“10,000 Deaths”

And so you see
it`s not Eve but we,
men who`ve dropped the ball;

for we stand right by
as satan lies
and causes Eve to fall.

Eve`s not bad
she`s just been had,
her heart did not deceive;

Yea, she reached for what
she thought was good
and shared what she received.

Alas, Eve is not the weaker sex
she`s only more vulnerable;
and so we men, must defend
and protect her as long as we are able.

So, quit the shit
and find your strength,
O men, rise up once again !

And lay down your lives 
for your wives;
die daily, again and again !

10,000 deaths each more pleasing
than the one before,
a masochistic male statisitc
thereby, we love Eve even more.

“Cupid”

Are you confused ?
Jesus loves you.
Are you bruised ?
Jesus loves you.
Feeling used ?
Jesus loves you.

Was something taken ?
Was your world shaken ?
Do you feel forsaken ?
Jesus Christ loves you.

Have you sinned ?
Failed to win ? 
Jesus, Son of David, loves you.

Lost your smile ?
Full of guile ?
Your final mile ?
Jesus Christ, Son of Man, Son of God, loves you.
