Baby X
Empowered to cut.
What’s that a hut.
Take a life.
Discard without care.
Sucked inside its hair.
Remove its brain
Are we insane?
The question echoes
In the night
Who will stand up
And fight the fight
For Baby X?

Life is the greatest gift a woman can give
America, Why Can’t You See?
America, I hear your groans
And you’re sighing.
Sometimes it seems
That you’re dying.
Your vision is impaired.
O why can’t you see?
The things you allow
Are not good for thee.
Your birth and your heritage
have you forgotten?
Remember without life
You’ll end up rotten.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. (Psalm 33:12)
Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. (Psalm 144:15)
Our Native Country
Our Native Country Thee
Land where we set criminals free
Our heads hang low.
Land where the innocent die
Land where people sigh
How can we sing?
Our Father God to thee
Author of liberty
To thee we plead.
Please turn on the light,
Rescue us from the night,
Great God our king.
Make us extensions of Your hand,
Reaching unending across the land,
Filling the gap and meeting the need,
Offering salvation to all the un-freed.
As the Greatest Country in the Land
God help us do Your Plan
So all will sing.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. (Psalm 33:12)
And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. (Ephesians 6:4)
Also look at Psalm 144.
National Crisis
Our nation right now is at a crisis
Because we have not paid the prices.
For tomorrow we were not concerned,
So the cost of apathy we’re about to learn.
Many children run the street like dogs.
The way we eat resembles that of hogs.
Self-restraint we can’t seem to find,
That’s why we have no peace of mind.
Our families are split or shattered,
Because self to us is what really mattered.
We’ve put God and His Word out of our lives.
They must be put back if we are to survive.
It seems appetites had all our attention.
Learn from the past we had no intention.
Forgetting tomorrow, we just lived for the day,
Making a debt we could never pay.
Now we must start to mend our foundations,
And begin to be concerned about our salvation.
Let’s do our jobs and forget all the chatter.
God and our families really do matter.
We must love our children,
And time with them spend,
If this nation God gave us is ever to mend.

Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the
people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
(Psalm 33:12)
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach
to any people. (Proverbs 14:34)
Remember The Constitution
We set amidst a conglomeration
Of influence, chaos, and onsets
Transposed by the mingled
And confused hodgepodge
Of lies and deceit
And the importing of a constant mix
Of turmoil and exasperation
Yet many seem to be oblivious
Of our condition,
Let alone the cause,
The truth is
We are caught in between
Compromise and inquisition
As a whole We are numb,
We are baffled
But totally unaware
Of our condition
We have no clue.
Any other being
Would be beating
Their head against a wall.
But instead “We The Peopleâ€
Have surrendered to temporary relief.
A technical fix.
What will it take to wake us up?
What will we do when we discover
The problem is within us.
Because we had no standard
We have lost our moral compass?
For Sure
A gross distortion has occurred.
Why, are we not concerned,
In spite of the fact
That some terrible
History is about to repeat itself, in spades.
Could it be that: disfranchisement
and disenchantment?
Has caused an attitude of apathy?
Are we glued to our own perceptions?
Do we hear ourselves saying,
“Let someone else do it�
Do we not know that: mutiny is change?
It’s a physical revolt
It’s rebellion.
We must continually remind ourselves
That America is a Republic.
Our government is based on Law.
Remember – The Constitution.
Better yet, why not read it?
