Hagar In The Wilderness

by Tyehimba Jess

Carved Marble. Edmonia Lewis, 1875

My God is the living God,
God of the impertinent exile.
An outcast who carved me
into an outcast carved
by sheer and stony will
to wander the desert
in search of deliverance
the way a mother hunts

Black Veil

by Nastasimir Franović

Black Veil
The candle in front of the icon twists the flame.
Clasped small trembling hands and hairline.
Silver crucifix at the end of the string.
The light almost died at the door behind.
God lives in this house. It is the source of your faith and hope.
The glow of the candle flame is on your face.
Your soul feeds with prayer.
Under the black veil, overcome by the burden, tears flowed down your face.
Your hope will remain pure and timeless.

St. Peter's Day

by George Wither

How watchful neede we to become,
And how devoutly pray,
That thee, O Lord, we fall not from,
Upon our tryall day !
For if thy great apostle said
He would not thee denie,
Whom he that very night denayd,
On what shall we relie ?

For of ourselues we cannot leaue

Inner Peace

by Astridah Chimfutumba

Immersed in the treasures of nature
Gifts of divine stature
Sitting on a chair as soft as a marshmallow
Wondering why emojis are yellow
It’s all a mystery
What is life? Why do I get hungry?!
Why can’t I stay days without eating?
Or days my heart not beating?

Yet you may think these are childish questions

Beware Of The Signs Of the Coming Of Antichrist!

by Shaila Touchton

Antichrist denies that Jesus Christ is God who came in the flesh
He Opposes God and Exalts himself above God
He is the beast rising up out of the sea, having 7heads and 10 horns
Upon his horns 10 crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy
He is the Beast with the number 666
He is the man of sin, the son of perdition
The Man of Lawlessness and who change times and laws
He is the deceiver of the elect and Wolf in sheep's clothing

He comes in peace and obtains the kingdom by flatteries

We will come us we are

by Aldo Kraas

We will come us we are
And meet our Father
Face to face
We feel pity
For those that are
Destroying there health
We don't think they have
Anything better to do than smoke street drugs
What a waste of life it is
Also they are buying street drugs

I never caused trouble

by Aldo Kraas

I never caused trouble
In my friends life
I always respect their
Wishes
They want me to treat them right
Not coursing at them
That is a horrible thing to do
Also I mistreat them
None friends like to be mistreated
They want to be treated with respect
