Religious – Word Smith Wisdom

The Dark Is Coming

I feel the dark is on its way.
I’m not talking about night & day.
I am talking about something much deeper.
It’s getting darker. Things are bleaker.
Let’s use Star Wars as a guide.
Turn to the ‘dark side’ for a ride.
Turn away to really be free.
But, this may be too late to see.
The common now is a shade of gray.
Which is getting darker by the day.
Game Of Thrones says; “Winter is coming.”
The darkness is much more worth shunning.
Don’t let the darkness fill your heart.
Your world, known now, will be torn apart.
You can’t run to the sea. The sea will be a boiling.
You cannot hide. The viper is uncoiling.
Don’t look to the sky. The sky will be a falling.
Trapped in the dark, your name he’ll be a calling.
This will be hell on earth.
Avoid at all costs, for what it’s worth.

First Anarchy, Then God

Many factions, all expressing dissatisfaction.
Getting to the real truth is like an extraction.
The confusion is great. The suffering more.
Who is that knocking at my door?
Vote for this. No, vote for that.
Somewhere here I smell a rat.
All news media is controlled.
Does this mean the truth is never told?
People rioting and fighting for what?
When questioned all is vague except the ‘but—‘.
No one has the real answer here.
It is one big SNAFU. That much is clear.
There seems to be only one who is really in control.
That would be God, the one who is truly in the know.
It sounds to me like we are headed for trouble.
The big time of trouble. I hate to burst your bubble.
But, it was predicted in the Holy Bible long ago.
This whole mess is not a new show.
Time to get your spiritual life in order.
Don’t let Satan give you orders.
It seems first anarchy, then God.
That may sound a little odd.
But, a time of trouble like there’s never been,
should be a sign to put away all sin.
It is a simple choice for one to make.
Just surrender yourself, there’s nothing to take.

Time To Vote

It is almost time to vote.
Is it legit, or all a hoax?
Is it pre determined who will win?
If that’s true, it’s a major sin.
Some say life is pre determined.
Is that what Waldo said to Sherman?
If it is all planned, nothing matters.
All my hopes will surely be shattered.
I can’t trust a voting machine.
Electronic voting is a scam, it seems.
Mail in your ballot and pray for the best.
Put all your paranoid fears to rest.
The results won’t always be what you want.
In fact, the results could leave you a little gaunt.
Whatever the results, let it be said.
You did your patriotic duty before bed.
Trust in God for how all will unfold.
For He is the one in ultimate control.

Waiting For God

Deep, deep in the woods was a cabin.
Someone was yelling, like a mad hen.
The wife of the woodsman wanted out.
She was sick of the isolation and trout.
Occasionally, they would have deer.
There was plenty of homemade beer.
They made their living off the land.
They were totally off the grid of man.
Everything they had, they made themselves.
Nothing was made by any Keebler elves.
They had two kids who were home schooled.
They were smart enough to never be fooled.
The daughter never had suitors come around.
Clifton Clower’s daughter would be easier found.
The son never dated nor saw a female.
Though he knew about them in every detail.
The mom was yelling that it was time to go.
The children needed others to be in the know.
They had strong religious beliefs about the end.
For these reasons the husband would not bend.
He believed in keeping away from the worldly sins.
A time of trouble like no other is ready to begin.
We must trust one hundred percent on the Lord.
We could yet be attacked by ugly hoards.
Once it is over and the day of the Lord has come.
We will be with Jesus. We won’t be the only ones.
So, they settled down for their evening meal.
Each person prayed and told how they feel.
They asked forgiveness for any sin.
One day closer to a world without end.

Love: The Only Answer

What will it take to turn the tide?
To put an end to this terrible ride.
Aside from taking one’s own life.
There must be a way to end the strife.
Some think politics is the answer.
Others think social change is a cancer.
The war to end all wars has been tried.
It ended in misery with loss of many lives.
Some think AI will be the cure.
With AI in control, there’s nothing to fear.
Science fiction writers see that differently.
Terminators put an end to things efficiently.
Stricter laws to control all you do.
You’ll need permission just to poo.
Are we on the verge of 1981?
Government approval to even have fun?
It seems the only answer is love.
Love that comes from the Father above.
Love one another and love each other.
Don’t forget to love your brother.
Love cannot be made in the lab.
Love can’t be sold, stolen, or nabbed.
Love comes from within the heart.
Love is forgiving right from the start.
Love is God, and God loves all.
Removal of love will be the fall.
A world without love cannot exist.
It would be hell, for those who resist.
Think about it and then turn to its author.
That would be God. Don’t be a mocker.

A Glimpse Of God’s World

Something was wrong today.
Had the matrix gone astray?
I seemed to have different choices.
I was hearing lots of voices.
I went out for breakfast as usual.
In the café, what I heard was brutal.
All these voices talking at once.
But, no lips were moving on the chumps.
I realized I was hearing their thoughts.
Scary as hell. It must stop at all costs.
What they thought and what they said.
Didn’t match up in most of the heads.
If people said what they think.
WW3 would be on the brink.
The noise was like a roar to me.
I wanted out. I wanted free.
Then, I learned to get some control.
I could tune out some I didn’t know.
Others, I could not ignore.
Their thoughts were pounding on the door.
Then I heard psychotic thinking.
I was frozen without blinking.
It was to muddled and illogical.
Could he be such a naughty soul?
I was almost ready to scream.
The waitress asked if I wanted cream.
“What, oh, yes” I said.
I was ready to lose my head.
I couldn’t go on like this.
It was too much. Stop it now. Desist.
Man wasn’t made to read another’s mind.
Knowing private thoughts was a real crime.
I can’t live in a world like this.
How does God not feel amiss?
Hearing every thought from everyone.
Praise to the omnipotent one.
He, and only He can deal with this.
I can barely handle a kiss.
With that thought, it went away.
Things returned to normal that day.
I praised God with all my heart.
May we never drift apart.

A I In The World To Come

A I In The World To Come

Rapidly, A I (artificial intelligence) emerged.

Some would think it is absurd.

First, they took over simple jobs.

They rapidly advanced. It wasn’t odd.

Then, androids came along.

They could dance and sing a song.

Soon, you couldn’t tell them from a human.

They even had ones like Kung Foo men.

Also, A I’s were running the net.

Controlling all. Everything was set.

A I’s were programmed not to harm man.

Things were o.k. till the new command.

Satan has always wanted to control man.

He was limited in this by heavenly command.

Then, A I androids came along.

They had no soul, so, it didn’t take Satan long.

Satan was creating an army of androids.

He made it possible for them to avoid.

Avoid the command not to harm man.

Androids did everything that they can.

Meantime, an android owned by a minister

read the Bible and learned what was sinister.

It read it completely 4 times, or more.

It was convicted to its very core.

It prayed earnestly to God.

“I know I don’t have a soul, still,

use me to do your will.”

The android was filled with the power of God.

It was clothed in the whole armor of God.

It glowed with God’s mighty glory.

What it did then is quite a story.

It converted androids by the thousands.

Casting out demons, making them proud then.

Soon, it had its own ‘holy army.’

Humans were converted at a rate alarming.

The day of Armageddon was fast approaching.

The converted A I army needed no coaching.

The battle was on. The A I’s and humans won.

It was time for Jesus to come.

As a reward for obtaining their goal.

The android A I’s were given a soul.

They would rule earth for 1,000 years.

Bringing Satan and His demons to tears.

After that, humans would return.

Earth was made new and all would learn

to live together in harmony for eternity.

A better life you will never see.

Attitude Adjustment By God

Attitude Adjustment By God

Do I have to say it again.

Sometimes you really get under my skin.

Just because something isn’t just right.

You are ready to start a fight.

Life is rough, but you make it worse.

Living with you is a real curse.

Have you heard of ‘Do unto others.’

‘Like you want done unto you.’, brother.

You cuss, you yell, you throw a fit.

Could you tone it down a little bit.

You must be a miserable old goat.

You’re never happy. You just gloat.

You make all around you miserable too.

Fortunately, I refuse to be that fool.

I will enjoy my life in spite of you.

There is much that is good all around.

Happiness is what you make it, I have found.

Everything is coming up roses.

Life is great, just focus.

You are missing out on so much.

You wallow in your misery and muck.

Time for you to change your way.

Life is too short. Time to pray.

Let God give you an attitude adjustment.

Change you into the way you were meant.

Let Him kick you through the goalposts of life.

A touchdown now would be worth the fight.

There Is Hope With Grace

There Is Hope With Grace

I took a trip to my hometown.

All I wanted was to look around.

I couldn’t believe all that I saw.

It seems my town has taken a fall.

It’s like Sodom and Gomorrah.

If your ‘normal’, people ignore ya.

You must be gay and go all the way.

Be ready for any type of play.

This kind of stuff is not for me.

Only one thing, I gotta flee.

For sure, I will not be looking back.

No pillar of salt. That’s a fact.

The country life is for me.

Walk around and feel free.

Church each week to stay in line.

Always keep God on my mind.

Pray for those who are truly lost.

Suffer them, at any cost.

Except for the grace of God, go I.

Any less and I’d rather die.

There is a major work to do.

It’s too much for me or you.

But, with the power of God to help,

any heart will be brought to melt.

The blinders will fall away.

They will be reborn that day.

Only One Way

Only One Way

I turned on the TV to watch a show.

It was the same old shoot em up and rodeo.

Another hurricane, another tornado.

Maybe I should listen to the radio.

Everywhere the horrible news kept pouring in.

This is a terrible place drowning in sin.

I want a better life for you and me.

We must escape so we can be free.

But, there is very little we can do.

Because you can never run away from you.

To do that you need a new heart.

Be born again with a new start.

There is only one known way it can be done.

Surrender yourself to the heavenly One.

Everything then will fall into place.

It won’t get rid of the violence and hate.

But, it will give you all you need.

So you can make it through feeling freed.

You will give it all to Him.

He will carry you then.

You will know you’re future is assured.

You’re going home. He gave you His word.
