Love: The Great Unknown

       Love: The Great Unknown

Reach a certain age and you will know

that love is the strongest emotion to flow.

Hormones kick in and love is there.

It is all around you everywhere.

 

If there is no confusion in gender,

you will be shocked at what it can render.

I am only speaking heterosexually.

The feelings you feel can set you free.

 

Eventually, you find the love of your life.

On the way, there may be pain and strife.

Mainly because love is so overwhelming,

It covers all areas, without even telling.

 

With luck, your love will be your helpmate.

Your soul mate, that shares your fate.

Your hearts are entwined as one.

Sharing all that’s seen and done.

 

Such a thing can be heaven on earth.

You’ll never know just what it’s worth.

If this happens to not be your fate,

start working harder, before it’s too late.

More Worlds Than One

      More Worlds Than One

There is a different world all around.

Hidden behind a vale, I have found.

Populated by angels, demons too.

All wanting to be a friend to you.

The demons want to lead you astray.

The angels want you to learn to pray.

We are pones in a universal war.

Good vs evil, that reaches the core.

True, we have freedom of choice.

But, they influence us by voice.

By temptations we don’t realize.

In many ways that are in disguise.

In order to tell truth from error.

We need a guide to fight the terror.

Dress in the whole armor of God.

Learn how in the guide book from God.

The Holy Bible is all you need.

Plus, a big dose of faith, indeed.

If the scales were removed from our eyes,

we would be shocked. We would cry:

“Help us God. We have no place here.”

Yet, it is all around,—– I fear.

A day is coming when we will see clearly.

Pray that it will affect us sincerely.

Affect us in a way that leads to The Light.

Then pray with all your might.

Pray you will be able to overcome.

And be a citizen of the kingdom come.

The Futility Of The Bottle

     The Futility Of The Bottle

Life ain’t much, but it’s all there is.

It will probably go out with a fizz.

Closing down the bars at 0200 every night.

Doing my best not to get in a fight.

Having nightly drunkalogs with the boys.

All through an alcoholic haze. What joy.

No one pays attention to us.

Just as long as we don’t disrupt.

We try to get out on the floor.

On weekends, music brings them in the door.

A few females will dance a little.

Most don’t like to be sprayed with spittle.

They come in with a date.

They don’t want an alcoholic mate.

It’s the same old thing every night.

Always trying to score. It’s such a fright.

The next day is always hell at work.

You feel like hell, but still you smirk.

“I had a super time last night.”

One of these days I’ll get it right.

In the meantime, here’s to you.

I raise my glass of liquid brew.

Issues

                     Issues

Do you have issues with many things?

We all have our opinion, it seems.

I’m not a soapbox kind of guy.

Being violent, I will deny.

I do what I can in my own way.

Often,—- all I do is pray.

There are tons of misconceptions.

Why is my view the exception?

I will keep an open mind.

Often things change in time.

It is not my job to convince you.

If you are really honest and true.

The truth will find its way to you.

If you search without prejudice.

You will be led to what convicts.

The Holy Spirit works in many ways.

When invited in, He stays.

All your issues will be resolved.

You will accept what is allowed.

Just listen to that still small voice.

You know you always have a choice.

The light, the truth and The Way

will convict you that this is the way.

——————R.W. Johnson—–(2017)

 

The Light, The Truth, And The Way

The Light, The Truth, The Way

Please!! Tell me it isn’t so.

We won’t be saved by UFO’s.

There has got to be a better way.

Maybe spiritualism has the right thing to say?

Is it time for an evolutionary jump?

Or, maybe our savior is Mr. Trump?

There are thousands of possible answers.

Guessing right is like curing cancer.

The most comfortable answer for me .

Is the second coming of Christ, you see.

Things will be wrapped up in the end.

Good will triumph over evil, my friend.

You may insist that you are right.

But, in the end, good wins the fight.

If you’re praying for something better.

Take a look at His Holy Letters.

Known as the Holy Bible.

With His Word, there is no liable.

The only thing needed is faith.

That is all that it will take.

The Holy Spirit will do the rest.

He’ll guide you to the very best.

The truth, as it is in Jesus.

He is the answer that pleases.

Live With It

Live With It

You know it.

I know it too.

There has to be something better for me and you.

 

We tried.

And we cried.

We thought we did all that we could do.

 

Things suck.

Were in a rut.

We both are feeling down and blue.

 

We need a change.

That much is plain.

Just sailing away would be pretty cool.

 

In the end.

We comprehend.

You can never run away from you.

Mind Of A Kid

        Mind Of A Kid

It is the end,—- I can see.

Someone is closing in on me.

There is no place left to hide.

There is no way to stem the tide.

I’ve begged, cried, and carried on.

Nothing can detour my mom.

I am trapped in this dream.

I can’t awaken, so it seems.

What a nightmare, often repeating.

It seems, there is no more retreating.

I could face it, but I don’t have the nerve.

Life has thrown me a vicious curve.

This is it.—The end at last.

She says: “Come on Timmy, it’s time for your bath.”

————————————–R.W. Johnson—–(2017)

Wasted Time

                  Wasted Time

All the wasted time along the way.

Think about how you spend your day.

Often wasted, hung out to dry.

Stoned, inebriated, wondering why?

Your time here is limited, for sure.

Put health first. Keep things pure.

This may give you a few more years.

What’s the use? You say through tears.

What good are a few extra years?

Make use of the wasted time. Don’t fear.

You could be building a great career.

Better yet, if religious minded at all,

prepare the way for the heavenly call.

Be welcomed into those pearly gates.

Do all you can before it is too late.

If it’s not your bag, just be a better man.

Why should you do all you can?

It will make life better for those around .

Thinking of others pays off, I have found.

Whatever way you would choose to go.

It is better than wasted time, you know.

If wasted time is kept to a minimal,

there are no regrets when you go.

The Existence Of The Others

         The Existence Of The Others

The walking man looks like a bag of bones.

He wanders along alone without a home.

He never knows where his next meal is.

Don’t put your blame on him for this.

Circumstances were beyond his control.

What brought them on, he didn’t know?

He once was a lot like you are now.

Earning a living by the sweat of his brow.

Now, he doesn’t live, he just exists.

He is beyond being mad and having fits.

His focus is strictly on what’s to come.

Where is his next meal coming from.

True, the poor will always be with us.

Society rejecting them can make you cuss.

There’s little help. They have stopped trying.

There is no motivation. I’m not lying.

It is an existence hard to comprehend.

For them, they have reached the very end.

You could say they are waiting for God.

That’s all that is left. This is not odd.

What else to do if they were you?

There must be something we can do?

The answer is a curse to society.

Unsolvable, probably do to our piety.

At the least, we can all pray for them.

Treat them like they were our kin.

They are already down and out.

In a zombie land, without a doubt.

An hour, a day, a year to them,

is just the passing of a blur within.

The high points being a decent meal.

Little is said about how they feel.

Except for the grace of God, go you.

Can you see what they are going through?

End Time Prophet??

              End Time Prophet??

My life is hanging by a very thin thread.

I can’t tell you what’s running through my head.

Ohh, ohh, ohh, —-not a lire.

 

All the people keep coming around.

They want the wisdom I can pass down.

Ohh, ohh, ohh, —not a lire.

 

Can he give you what you’re praying for?

Will you have to show him the door?

There are others who are wondering too.

What will be the end of you.?

The answer is written on the wall.

They will continue till they fall.

Many wonder what this world is coming to.

That is why I am praying for you.

 

The sky grows dark as they gather around.

There is moisture on the ground.

Ohh, ohh, ohh, —not a lire.

 

The final vision is coming fast now.

The people can make it through somehow.

Ohh, ohh, ohh, —not a lire.

 

Yes, the answer is written on the wall.

The prophets before have seen it all.

Small differences will mean very little.

You have to dance when He plays His fiddle.

The beat is fast, the tempo uplifting.

It is now time for the sifting.

Those marked with love will make it through.

In the hand or forehead is nothing new.

 

It is here with blinding speed.

None are sure just how to proceed.

Ohh, ohh, ohh, —not a lire.

 

Love is the greatest weapon of all.

If you can’t love, then you will fall.

Ohh, ohh, ohh, —not a lire.
