Plagiarism

 All my thoughts
 Are influenced by the Bible
 Plagiarism in spots
 Am I possibly libel
  
 I do not know
 But I have read it many times
 There is not unique prose
 We are not voiceless mimes
  
 The story of Christ
 And how to share his love
 Spliced and sliced
 It is all from above
  
 Above in God
 God allows it
 Applaud
 His grand skit
  
 I apologize
 If I copy or paraphrase
 I want to emphasize
 I want to give God praise
  
 Not copy you
 Or steal your work
 I like your view
 Am I a jerk
  
 I do not think so
 I am true
 To whom I owe
 My gracious renew
  
 God saved me
 Through his Son
 I am free
 And it is done
  
 I have to spread the news
 Jesus is the way
 I want no one to lose
 The possibility of today
  
 Find Jesus today
 Repent today
 Seek forgiveness today
 Believe in Jesus today
  
 Jesus is Lord
 And God raised him from the dead
 The gospel is not a sword
 Just everlasting bread
  
 Bread of Life
 Life everlasting
 Not senseless strife
 Jesus is worth broadcasting
  
 If I use your writing
 In an inappropriate fashion
 I am not fighting
 Full of passion
  
 To share with sincerity
 To praise their glory
 To explain with clarity
 To share the greatest story 

End of Game

  I have been there
 Struggling to win
 Throwing up a prayer
 Taking it on the chin
  
 A strong punch
 I worked so hard
 And I feel the crunch
 My soul and body marred
  
 As in the game
 So many opportunities
 To win with fame
 For our communities
  
 But it is not finished
 You may feel it is
 Do not be diminished
 Or end with a fizz
  
 Take stock in your abilities
 And know you are strong
 Reduce your liabilities
 And sing a happy song
  
 There is more time to comeback
 Life has not ended
 Pushback and attack
 Everything will be splendid
  
 Remember your durability
 And your unique traits
 Hopefulness  is not unnecessary futility
 But a date with our fates
  
 Decide to fight
 For your hereafter
 The day is bright
 Sunny with laughter
  
 React to your circumstances
 Enjoy the hear and now
 Take your chances
 Stay behind the plow
  
 Make your rows straight
 A strenuous chore
 No time to wait
 You can score 

Bore

  I am a bore
 Very whinny
 A word whore
 Not funny
  
 Why tell people your troubles
 When they got their own
 They do not live in a bubble
 Or made of stone
  
 They have feelings
 And they have needs
 Listen to their dealings
 And their life deeds
  
 Turn the conversation around
 Quit talking about yourself
 And your constant frown
 Leave your feelings on the shelf
  
 Pour yourself into others
 Be a blessing to them
 Ask about their brothers and mothers
 And what they have overcome
  
 Offer them a prayer
 Make it simple and plain
 Something they can wear
 To reduce their pain
  
 My feelings will improve
 Making it about you
 A good positive move
 Long overdo 

Hope and Expectations

  Dare I raise my hope
 Or raise my expectations
 Set me up to be a dope
 How about the flirtations
  
 Do I expect her to realize
 We are made for each other
 And I am better than most guys
 Why do I want to bother
  
 To beg her forgiveness
 To seek her approval
 To deduce her restiveness
 To change her disproval
  
 Push her to decide
 To spend time with me
 Is it mine and her pride
 Which is the key
  
 Or is it stupidity
 To keep on hoping
 When she demonstrates lividity
 And I am just coping
  
 I miss our time together
 She says the same
 How can we tether
 Our mutual claim
  
 Leave her alone
 Live your life
 She has a phone
 No more strife
  
 Strife in myself
 Strife in her actions
 Strife in our childness
 Strife in the whole thing
  
 I know we would have fun
 We are so good just us
 Why does it have to be done
 What is the real fuss
  
 I do not know
 Questioning her decision
 Creating a senseless row
 A gigantic collision
    
 She is in control
 So let her go
 And make some goals
 Just go with the flow
  
 Not your best suit
 To play it by ear
 It might be the best route
 Learn to be a seer
  
 Able to visualize
 What decisions are best
 There may be a prize
 If I passed the test
  
 No matter what
 My life will be less
 But not in a rut
 Just some distress
  
 So what is it
 Hope that is confused
 Expectations that fit
 Reconciliation refused
  
 Or is it craziness
 To let it rule
 Making me melancholy
 So stop being a fool 

Change

I need a change
To make me whole
Why exchange
My current role
 
I am not appreciated
I am a man child
I am depressed and deflated
I am forgotten in exile
 
I have an opinion
I keep to myself
Just a tiny minion
Not being myself
 
I need to stand up
But then I am immature
And we breakup
And there is no cure
 
I can walk away
What does it prove
To exit the fray
As my opening move
 
But this is hard
I am weak going to ground
Getting lonely and scared
Growing lifeless and down
 
Will I miss my buddy
Just waiting and moping
Way too hard and bloody
Just hoping
 
I wish it could be
A life with her
I have made my plea
She does not concur
 
Instead of pouting
And being blue
Your life needs rerouting
To make it through
 
Concentrate on me
Setting new priorities
I am single and free
With no authorities
  
I am off my medication
Planning to travel
Not a vacation
Just to unravel
 
My mind and thoughts
Through reading and writing
Connecting the dots
And keep on fighting
 
Fighting for what is right
Which can be a debate
Not worth the bite
I am not a piece of bait
 
I am not a fish or insect
I am a strong man
I stand erect
I need a plan
 
Get my health straight
And create multiple verses
Remove dead weight
Solve any reverses
 
What needs to shift
To execute your plan
Become a spendthrift
And a bad food ban
 
Walk even if it hurts
A health goal
And do not chase skirts
So you keep control
 
Do not be in a rush
Solve all concerns
Work through the slush
And reap the returns
 
The goodwill produced
Relations restored
I will get a needed boost
Along with a great reward
 
My plan will be ready
To shift my gaze
And to be steady
Through this new phase
