The title will basically say it all. It's where I'll post all of my writings that will be considered poetry. I'll write a few raps, some free verses, and a haiku here and there. I will say that a lot of my poems may be on the subject of religion and Christianity. FYI, I try not to hate on other religions, but I cannot stand people who choose to smash on other people's beliefs. However, that's not what this is about. This is about how words can touch the human soul in many ways. I. Above it All (Rap) Spoiler We're living in a cruel world and I don't want to see that the only person I can rely on is me. Swimming through our lives, listening to the lies of the media and, of course, the devious Lord of the Flies. The gangsters and tricksters will play their mind games but the lyrics I spin are just not the same as those who choose not to speak through the love. It's 'cause the lyrics I spin come from my Father above. I have been chosen out of all the sheep to stand out and filter all through this heap of sin and love so we can reach the place, break though the clouds, and see Your face. To show to all that the world is good and to prove to Him that it is understood that God came as man and came to die so we can also have wings and learn how to fly. And to those who preech that there is no Love of a God and we can't have our wings like doves; I say to you: Don't let your heart grow cold, for it will be burnt up and become like stone. For ignorance is what you say me be, but the flaws in myself I at least can see. So I won't allow your hate to fog my mind, for when the rapture comes, I won't be left behind. So I choose to stay away from things like drugs, and if a brother is hurting, I'll just give him a tug back into the right direction. So let just come what may, 'cause I'm simply happy for my life today. For the proof of this day and His love is grand, so let's give Jesus a great big hand! So, I live above it all and face this world to share the Good News with every boy and girl. II. I Am a Child of Yours (Free Verse/Spoken Word) Spoiler Lying silently in my peaceful bed, I pray to receive your compassion. I long to be in your presence, to be with you in your shining kingdom of love, hope, and peace. Darkness would shroud my dying face from your loving light of gold. I am a child of Yours— a child of the one true everlasting living God. I am a child of Yours, the Father above all fathers. My life is no accident; you have created me to live out your purpose and reason. Demons, devils, and delights have blind the purpose you gave. All nay-Sayers I see in my way wish to separate me from you, but I have strength to tell them “nay” because of you. I am a child of Yours, You love me like all others. Before now, I didn’t know who you were or what purpose that I was received. Now the once dark room shines like your perfect face. A majestically, golden hue that would blind those who oppose Your almighty word! I am a child of Yours Father; my goal has never been more clear. This special mission that you gave me was designed for me to fulfill and complete, without questioning. My past “me” has passed away, forever laying in a restless tomb. You love us all the same, for we are only human— but we are all precious children of Yours III. Stars (free verse/spoken word) Spoiler My Shadow extends as the lights dim away, for the dark must rule now, this is the truth. Since the light is hindered, does that mean life must also die, to bring forth chaos of our fears? My light shall never dim or die, this is my truth which I was raised upon, and so will your light if you choose it to shine brighter than my own. Combined light, combined hearts, combined minds, that love we feel will never give in or fade away. Our own truths shine much like the starry sky; separate on its own, powerless as just one star. For a star is a sun, from here reaches little light. But, starry nights glimmer with not one, but many, a power of thousands to cut through the night, to light our journeys home, wherever we belong. Please tell me what you think. I'll update this page as soon as I can. Regards, Tummer
