Ancient Adage (That I Just Made Up)

The king who trusts a foolish man
May loose his kingdom and his wealth,
But he who puts his trust in none
Will drag the kingdom down himself.

What's Underneath?

There comes a time in every man's life
To make a decision that will define him
For the rest of his life.
A question so fundamental it will affect his very existence,
And cut deep into his heart like a knife.

It's a private decision;
Few others will know
What choice he makes on that day.
It will come as a question,
That time when every man must say:

Should I wear boxers or should I wear briefs?
Which will help my level of self-confidence increase?
Should I wear boxers or briefs?

But those aren't the only two choices you've got;
You have to choose a color...or if you want polka dots.
I kinda like compression shorts; I wear them all the time.
Or you could go commando if you feel so inclined.

Should I wear boxers or should I wear briefs?
Does one produce restriction and the other bring release?
Should I wear boxers or briefs?

Do I need a fly?
I never use one.
I tend to just pull down...
Sorry, TMI.

And what about PJs? A onesie? Naw.
I could, on the other hand, sleep all natural.

Should I wear boxers or should I wear briefs?
What drawers should I drop when I need some relief?
They say that what matters is what's underneath,
So should I wear boxers or briefs?

Daydream

In class I sit and find I’m bored,

So I try to think of the girl I adore—

Then you pop into my mind

And I’m confused.

Bedtime Prayer

Down I lay my head to sleep

And pray this day in memory keep,

That lessons learned would not be turned

To chafe and scattered in the wind

But kept in mind and there defend

'gainst other errors of their kind.

Down I lay my head to sleep

And pray this day in memory keep,

That blessings gotten not forgotten

Ever be and thankfulness abound 

In me wherever envy once was found—

Let this day live in memory.

Love-Induced Spontaneous Combustion

I think this could be used in a breakup song...


My hearts a ticking time bomb,
And it's ready to explode.
Each heartbeat brings me closer
To that violent episode.

Each thud is a reminder
Of the days I had with you,
But now my days are numbered
Since you left and lit the fuse.


...if you pardon the cheesiness. 

A White Pearl in a Sea of Blue

I saw today a marvelous thing

In the sky that is our ceiling.

In the early evening on this summer day,

While the sun still shown with its bright array,

In a sky, as blue as a mountain lake,

Appeared—as if for beauty’s sake—

A moon both full and luminous.

With its radiance it greeted us

And bathed the world, already bright,

With fresh rejuvenated light:

A luminescent mystery

Of Beauty and complexity.

With craters clear as mountains here,

So far away, it seemed so near.

But at the time I could not stop,

Forget my tasks, all worries drop;

No artist did I see to try

And paint the beauty of that sky;

But oh that this should be forgotten!

So paint I this with words here written.

The Gospel

Incredible! That God’s spirit should dwell in flesh,

That His son would come to dwell with us,

That from His throne and eternal home,

Christ came to give us righteousness.

Incredible! That as a man,

God experienced the world that we too see

And lived a life of bitter strife

And can relate to you and me.

Incredible! That the blind should see

That paralytics rose to walk,

The deaf were made to hear His voice,

The mute allowed to talk.

Incredible! That some refused

To accept the gift He offered them,

To trade man’s praise for God’s approval

And thus themselves condemned.

Incredible! That Christ should die,

That He who had the right to boast

Was humbled, willing to stand our hurls,

Though in charge of an angelic host.

Incredible! That on that tree,

Hanging far outside the gate,

The sin of you and me were His,

That He became the thing God hates.

Incredible! That, with His death,

The way to life was paved,

That death was slain upon that hill,

That through faith we are saved.

Incredible! That he rose again

To seize His throne in Heaven

And will return one glorious day

To bring His own to Heaven.
