"Hope's Name"

Life has trouble this side of heaven. That is the reality of living in the human condition. I wrote the song “Pick Your Poison Proposition” after Hurricane Katrina which blew through Lousiana in August of 2005. So I started re-reading my bazillion journals trying to put dates to my songs and poems. Specifically when on earth did I write “Pick Your Poison Proposition”??? I never got to the journal Pick Your Poison is in, I stumbled across this little nugget I penned on February 18, 2009:

Perversion stinks

I’m so weary of BAD NEWS

Our whole system of government is being laundered

Bleached to something UNRECOGNIZABLE…

In my homeschool bubble

I forget the reality until it bites me

The demonic realm sneaks in subtly

Leaving its slimy fingerprints

Actions speak and words do, too

BUSTED

Your sins will find you out

So don’t even think of hiding in the dark

There isn’t any

LIGHT will shine

LIGHT will last

LIGHT will bring life

Exposing the MEAGER works of darkness

For the sham they always were
