“De-Mentions”

it’s funny
what I’d vowed to God
I’ve let slip away

how I’d wanted to be treated
what I’d wanted for my kids
where I’d wanted us to live

I thought I’d listened
through God’s heart
but as I live through my choices
I stop and wonder

if what I valued is not there
was my trust in another
if this IS God’s heart
will it get better?

mental instability
emotional insecurity
spiritul immaturity
are tough to ignore
but as one who is love
I HAVE to believe
there is hope

“Cop Out”

in God’s hands
 
many people say it
declare it
but is it true
 
if a man
kills with a gun
was it in God’s hands
or the one holding the gun
 
if a woman
signs papers for an abortion
was it in God’s hands
or the one holding the pen
 
if someone
robs a store
was in God’s hands
or the one holding the goods
 
darkness comes
to steal
kill
and destroy
but many proclaim
 
it’s in God’s hands
 
no
many things are in the hands
of mankind
influenced by darkness
to bring forth
destruction
