It Doesn’t Make Sense

 

I have finally awakened

I am no longer asleep,

What I’m about to share

Is pretty, pretty deep.

 

Speaking something into being

Doesn’t make sense

And I offer no apology

If anyone takes offense.

Especially those Christians

Who have fallen for such,

If they have any sense

It really can’t be much.

  

Think of anything you want

And speak it into being,

You would wait till forever

And that thing you won’t be seeing.

 

 

 

It doesn’t have to be big

Focus on something small,

It doesn’t matter the size

You can’t get it done at all.

 

I have actually tried it

And you can try it too,

Concentrate with all your might

And you’ll agree to my view.

 

God created the world:

What absolute nonsense!

And any who say they believe it

Are in a state of pretense.

 

Once I actually believed it

But that was a colossal struggle,

Finally I came to realize

That did not solve my puzzle.

 

 

The world always was

It simply had no beginning

And once there is procreation

It will never have an ending.

 

You would also prove this

If you try my experiment,

You’d discover what I discovered

And we’ll have a similar bent.

 

The world for me is God

And it will always be,

Get rid of the old wives fables

And open your eyes and see.

 

Evolution doesn’t make sense

But neither does creation,

I believe in an eternal world

That is my summation.

 

 

The truth is I am sleeping

And I am talking in my sleep,

Don’t believe me for a moment

My sleep must be very deep.

 

What a horrible nightmare!

What deplorable foolishness!

How miserable we all would be

If we all believed in this mess!

 

God’s Word sets the record straight

In the beginning God;

It was He that created everything

Spread that news abroad.

 

It is God that always was

God is the great I AM,

The evidence of being awake

Is when we’re walking in His plan.

 

So strike verses one to twelve

That’s the heart of the fool,

Hold fast to all of the rest

And enroll in God’s Bible school.

 

There you will learn the truth

Of all that concerns you

And after the first basic lessons

You’ll begin to see God too.

They Want Our Children Too

 

 

They have captured many adults

But they are still not satisfied,

They want to have our children too

And they will do it in style.

 

They are diligently working their way

Into our children’s classrooms

And under the cover of education

They aim to have them soon.

 

All that outdated hogwash

About this present binary gender

Will be a thing of the past quite soon

And just barely remembered...

For procreation purposes only

Until that is needed no more,

With advancing medical science

There will be much more in store.

 

Our children are their future

They must be ready for the change,

Hence, the subtle manipulation

So at first it won’t seem strange.

 

Like the contented frogs

That had eventually died

When the water was gradually heated

And they met their demised.

 

The container was left uncovered

They could easily jump out,

But they were happy in the water

This was better than any drought.

 

The frogs never really noticed

That the water was getting hot

And when it reached its boiling point,

They were all cooked in the pot.

 

 

This is a serious lesson for parents

And to responsible adults too,

They are coming for your children

Do not let them deceive you.

 

Monitor your children closely

Show them that you care,

Tell them that you love them

And keep them in constant prayer.

 

Be their trusted confidant

Be the support on which they can lean,

Show them that God and you and them

Will always be a winning team.

 

Don’t take this admonition lightly

They want our children too,

We must do everything in our power

To prevent this from coming true.

Satan’s agents are near and far

They are at home, at church, at school,

Do not let him catch you unaware

Please, do not become his tool.

 

Be aware of Satan’s enticements

He is a specialist in traps and snares,

Do not try to fight him on your own

God is the only one he fears.

Family First Revisited

 

 

As you read this poem

On this Fathers’ Day

Please do not be offended

In any kind of way.

I merely want to look

At how fathers came to be,

Through mothers was the way

Both you and I can see.

Let’s cease to separate them

On any given day,

They’re to thrive through one another

This is God’s special way.

So Fathers’ Day or Mothers’

They’re both to be celebrated

And so today on Fathers’ Day

Both should be commemorated.

And as we do so today

Let’s do so impartially,

On this special day today

Let’s celebrate them equally.

And as we do I remind you

It’s really about the family,

It’s family we are celebrating

Let’s do so thankfully.

Big up fathers! Big up mothers!

Big up family too!

And every opportunity you get

Propagate this view.

I remind us of the times

That we are living in,

Any redefinition of the family

Must be viewed as sin.

A father can’t be a mother

And a mother can’t be a father,

God instituted marriage

And this cannot be altered.
  

Let’s not confuse our children

With these conflicting roles,

Be like magnets that attract

They still use opposite poles.

Two north poles repel

Together they never cleave,

A man is to cleave to his wife

After his mother he leaves.

Through this simple process

Children come about,

Any other cohabitation

Will throw the family out.

They can cohabit all they like

Two fathers or two mothers

But after their ecstatic conclusion

They won’t produce another. 

If we want to depopulate

This is a sure way to go

But that is certainly not God’s idea

Let us not go with that flow.

Let us arrest the deterioration 

And put back family first:

Each one in his or her rightful role

And avoid this societal curse.

The rainbow depicted love

God’s love for the human race,

It was to Noah and his extended family

That God imparted His grace.

Let us all be militant

As we observe the oncoming foe,

Let’s reinforce our family ties

And resist the same sex flow.

Happy Fathers’ Day to all

Let the nuclear family thrive,

Same sex marriage is a misnomer

And really shouldn’t survive.

So on this Fathers’ Day

I will again trumpet the call

And like I did on Mothers’ Day

It’s Happy Fathers’ Day to all.

Happy Fathers’ Day to fathers

And to every mother too

And remember this is about family

And family is the biblical view.

Family First

 

As you read this poem this Mothers’ Day

Please do not be offended,

I would never put mothers down

So that’s not what I intended.

I implore us now to look again

At how mothers came to be,

Our focus especially on such days

Should be on the family.

I speak not only of Mothers’ Day

But Fathers’ Day as well,

Without one the other could not be

So it’s time we make them gel.

How wonderful it would be

If both these days families sit together

And as we celebrate the family

That would be so much better.

Of course in such a context

We could still single out the mothers

And when Fathers’ day comes around

Again we’d bring the family together.

When we make mothers sit together

And then proceed to celebrate

We could easily send a wrong signal

That says it’s all right to discriminate.

Big up fathers and big up mothers

And big up the entire family too,

With every opportunity that we get

We should propagate this view.

We live in interesting times

Where the family is being redefined

And the schools our children attend

Put strange things in their minds.

“A father can be a mother

And a mother can be a father

And two of the same can live together

And that should not be a bother.”

  

But this could never be right

For the children would be confused

So by celebrating the authentic family

This notion can be diffused.

Through the procreation process

Fathers and mothers came about

So the encouragement of two of the same

Throws the family out.

They can cohabit all they like

I mean two fathers or two mothers

But at the end of their fervent trip

They wouldn’t produce another.

They need one another

The Creator designed it this way

And if ever two of the same produce a child

I tell you that would be the day.

Church, it’s time to set the trend

Put family first on both these days,

Celebrate fathers and mothers and children too

For this is the family way.

To put one up is to put one down

Big them up together,

It’ll take some gumption to move this way

But that’s the nature of trendsetters.

By our practice we’ve given ground

To some questionable ideas

And by our limp and token response

We’ve allowed some to have their way.

We need to arrest the deterioration

And put back the family first,

Fathers and mothers in their rightful place

Or for our society, “It’s goodnight nurse”.

So on this Mothers’ Day

I am trumpeting a clarion call

Let Mothers’ Day be Family Day

And so too Fathers’ Day and all.

The time has come to be militant

Notice the approach of the foe,

Strengthen the family ties that remain

Come on families let’s go!

Let every day be family day

Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day too

And raise our children as God demands

And perpetuate the biblical view.
