Religious Poems
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.

When the Master Comes
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
The stars will twinkle so brightly,
When our loving Master comes,
So hold onto blissful faith tightly,
Through myriad tangerine suns!
Jade hills will ring with laughter,
In plum diamond sunshine glitter,
As the dim past ceases to matter,
And never again is anyone bitter.

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

kingdom of God
by kim stallins
upon this day
for haven't you heard
the kingdom of God
is now the word
from young to old
of those who seek
the kingdom of God
in which we speak
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
......
Don't ask me why
by Aldo Kraas
Don't ask me why
Why God made me
Don't ask me why
I am a child of God
Don't ask me why
I am a middle class person
Don't ask me why
I made friends with poor people
I don't like the rich people at all
Because they despise the poor people
......
Even though I love you
by Aldo Kraas
Even though I love you
My dear Father
For have made me
With your holy hands
Many years ago
Yes I am glad that
I can live my life the way
I want every single day
AIso I need to live my life to the fullest
Every single day
