Hike to Insight

The fear in these lies hides in the tears of my eyes/

This beast centered in the mind feeds lines to feast on our kind/

We may all be different by design but you will find one way in which we align/

Ours is a spiritual crime coupled with the physical desire to cross that line/

I used to be the kind who felt I was a victim of the times/

Trying to unravel reason & rhyme by pouring wine down my spine/

Sleepwalking thru my distorted view of the truth with a bottle of booze & my alarm stuck on snooze/

Spent the last decade of life lost & confused/

Searching for my way out this nightmare of

self-abuse/

Now I find the holy ghost in these anecdotes of Hope/

Which I use to expose this planet choking on the sin in its throat/

You boast about how you proposed to this world disguised in lies/

Well, I’m a heavenly host sent to promote the bride of the Most High/

I cut that rope attached to pride & latched my soul onto the eternal Guide/

Now I’m edified by every sunrise that climbs out of the darkness of night/

The devil no longer resides behind these once petrified eyes/

Hell can’t survive in a being beaming with His purified light/

So now I spit flows from the soul to show praise for my Creator of the cosmos/

Sometimes my head's a bowl full of doubt and I gotta spoonful of sin hanging out my mouth/

But when I grip the mic and shout to the clouds it opens my spirit's spout & removes the shroud/

Allowing me to live in the here and now/

This life is a hike to insight/

Just endure the plight/

Walk in His light/

Forget about fight or flight/

Reach the summit of peace, earn your stripes and bask in His delight/

It's not about who's wrong or right/

The purpose of life is to have faith in the dark what He's shown you in the light/

His love is not just a crutch for you to use when times get tough/

Everyday you need to pray to be an instrument of His touch/

Surrender your fears and lust to the One who is righteous and just/

He will in return fill your heart with perfect love until it busts/

When it does you must then spread it to all who mistrust/

Soundtrack of Love

Love can be a blessing disguised as a curse & I’ve arrived to traverse this earth’s turf in search of that prize which will allow me to desert this worldly disguise of hurt & lies that has deprived my self-worth since I was derived from the dirt by He who gives birth/

We have arrived at that time in our lives when girls become brides & every guy would sacrifice his life just to see that spark of surprise in her eyes/

I’m in search of the woman who cut has cut her ties with the devil’s lies & now resides in the Light of the true Love of my life/

She’s an hourglass in the palm of God’s hand & I’m the last calm grain of sand to ask if I can pass through to complete His plan/

She says she likes how I write about life & my insights derived from the Light send her soul into flight/

I would treat her soul as a sacred acre created by our Maker & work free of charge as her caretaker/

She takes that little black book everywhere you look so she can cook up a hook with  those words that keep her stable in her own secret nook/

It enables her to feel like the last rook in the chess ring finally at home & alone with her King/

She laughs at the devil and what he’s trying to bring cuz she knows she’ll never stoop to his level or end up under his wing/

She’s not new to the struggles of life & its troubles so you know this old soul will fight to climb outta the rubble/

She loves to watch the blood of the sky run as the mountains penetrate the sun on its predictable plunge/

She says her soul is a spiritual sponge that had to expunge every past lover who left her heart stung with the barrel of his gun/

No thanks, I don’t smoke/

Instead, I use my throat to invoke hope & try not to choke on the lies this world told just so it could gloat/

When you asked me to hold your coat cuz there was no rack I discovered that your voice is the soundtrack of love & I’m the glove trying to catch this angel from above/

A Guest by Invite

I light the mic so your ears can inhale my hype/

I don’t believe in fight or flight/

I sit tight in His light while you take another hit off of my insight/

I’m just a guest by invite trying to focus my soul sight in this chess game of life/

All I request is that You bless my nest and keep me close to Your chest/

I do my best to deflect my intellect & let God interject with His perfect concept to bless my every step/

I invest in hope & let the Holy Ghost detect & diagnose so I can connect my soul’s rope to the command post of our heavenly Host/

My thoughts are burning tread on this track in my head/

Used to run laps with my past but now it’s dead/

My pride & ego hang from the coat rack below the closet shelf & the stack of life cards I was dealt are hidden beneath my belt/

Here I embark on a stealth mission crying for help as I try to figure out the art of losing myself/

I'm just a passive nerd stuck on this massive earth tryin to clutch onto His everlasting Word/

I don’t consider myself a distinguished gentleman/

Just tryin to represent His kingship by being sentimental & genuine/

My sole aim is not to claim even a grain of fame but when my soul embarks I hope I left a mark on your heart/

This is just a train stop & my pain & sobs were bought by the One who reigns over my thoughts/

I keep my focal point on the One who appoints so I can vocally anoint my spiritual joints/

I dropped outta the rat race to escape the lost & dazed/

Now I rock a straight poker face to represent my case for faith/

My spiritual gaze sets my soul ablaze & the level of my God gauge is off the page/

I left my battles of the past in the shadows of His grasp & now I no longer hang from the gallows of wrath/

My bliss is intrinsic cuz I invest in friendship/

Love is endless when you surrender to the resistance/

My blemishes are replenished & every sentence I’m inventing is ascending into the never ending/

Represent for He above & kinship will forever be consistent in this simplistic grip of a life derived from persistent strife/
