    I miss carefree days

    and storms battered us left and right
    (seems like now it’s a choice of extremes)
    …before fear of walking in daylight
    even worse at night
    …before being forced to carry my papers
    hoping they even give them a glance
    because there’s money to be made…

    Someday Soon

    Desperation fuels chaos in the streets While false idols continue to make war Honest poets keep writing the receipts That’s right we’ve been keeping score   Someday soon judgment catches us all Pride hits hardest when forced to crawl   Evil people are cowards speaking in lies Hiding...

    • While false idols continue to make war, this work summons a Jesus who refuses salvation and a Non‑Jesus who refuses erasure.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, PAR. So glad you connected with the write my friend. That’s a deep analysis brother. Appreciate you.
