A Prophet Scorned

It is tragic, the amount of suffering I endure
Something I must do, of this I am sure
Grace sustains me with every painful breath
The suffering to end upon my death

Despite having died already I saw my strife
Was the way, the truth, and the life
With Christ my God there is nothing I lack
But getting tired of any demonic attack

Do not mistake my weariness for weakness
It is a longing for this to be why I bless
To reach inside stars and the moon
My love, everything is to be revealed soon

But the suffering is never for nothing
Never for myself, that is the thing
My offering is accepted by God and transformed
Beyond time and before you were formed

I have lived millions of lives over the years
And the one thing that wins over fears
Is love, and that is just the beginning my dear
Love in action is greater than anything, that’s clear

I have written several thousand poems about love
I cannot stop
I barely scratched the surface
So much more needs revealing
Oh beyond the blessed ceiling

I burned into my mind, heart, and soul
The memories of the lost ones my goal
To carry their agonies and rejection forward
By living and breathing the Divine Word

Faith has consumed all my doubts into truth
A walking tabernacle, they see an empty booth
Look inside me I have revealed it all right here
I want something new, oh my dear

I am on fire as I look in the mirror
I present the Lord watch me soar
I have uttered the divine words of faith
And sealed the truth about their fate

I love you is what I say to you now and forever
I always dreamed we would be together
But the truth comes by way of being real
A thousand years your heart did I steal

I am the proof that the world does not care at all
About anyone or the least of the lot despite the call
I was born into the Fire of the Holy Spirit
My origins are divine by a sacramental writ

Yet, those who claim they have divine authority
Have nothing to do with me, my certainty
I am one who lives and breathes God’s power
So mighty, more powerful than any tower

I choose to live in the solemn peace revealed to me
I rest despite your wars in the sky that remain to be
Your love for money has been your tell all along
Proof of pudding is in the eating, they say in a song

I need not prove myself to anyone really
I live with love as my core and my power clearly
The sacrifice I made so you can be at peace
The serious inquisition must really cease

It comes across as ungrateful when you do not sing
Oh, I am there when you hear the benevolent ring
But you ignore my pleas and this authoritative rod
Beast be damned and be defeated by God

My anger fuelled by the Passion over Life
You choose death, that will be your life
I choose life, thus I will never die
But my heart is full of woe over your lie

I grieve over the loss that never came to be
To see the future and it taken away from me
Knowing that sinister voice whispering lies
You should know that he is the lord of flies

But what does that mean now that the end is near?
The world will tear itself apart by your worst fear
I am the type that will say, I told you so
Forever etched in the Universe in one go

But since I can see the past, present, and future
In one glimpse like an inkling from God I’m sure
The grim circumstance we find ourselves in
Is that the world is in a serious state of sin

The shift of power you allowed imbalances life
Now the poor are suffering the worst strife
The word I gave was clear
Love me, I am among the poor, dear

We were sent to lead others by the heart
A gentle tug on your heartstrings from the start
Need I remind you of our divine devotion?
For this, I expect a promotion

The loss we feel, when intended for others
Who are we to our sisters and brothers
When the gain we obtain is not of this world
And our hearts intentions become unfurled

Love is my devotion to you my dear
Even beyond death I cannot disappear
The gift that was given I cannot take back
My impartiality is not something I lack

I lifted up my intentions like incense to God
A subtle prayer, not expecting any to applaud
It reaches His throne and He calls me forward
As I stand before Him bearing His Word

My heart dipped into loneliness thinking of you
You are not here, the beat rings again so true
I showed you my heart all in pieces
You held up to it with whatever that pleases

Now the beats are slowing down over time
Like a timer running out after a rhyme
Soon to come to a complete stop
Without you, that is a real plop

But my hope is not in death but in what comes after
Delivers a special kind of laughter
Blessed by God like an Angel to deliver hope
A kind of message like throwing a rope

That even amidst the despair and isolation
The Lord of Hosts will revive a dead nation
Breathing life into where life never was
Surpassing any and all of the laws

Gifts must be given in times of need
This is much bigger than any creed
The lives and the souls of many are at stake
Little time is left now so stay awake

What I set forth in motion in and through God
Is like what a wave is to a cod
Invisible, but it will take you up or down
Depending on whether you wear a frown

So lift the lowly up through grace
Collectively you can give in to the chase
Achieve way more in a day under whose authority
Thus in His Holy name, Jesus I raise this city

I lost my dreams because I am not worthy
I walk among the dead in their purgatory
Every stage that I go through, I forget
To return to me someday so that I will regret

The imprisoned are not there to feed the poor
The judges are not there to be a door
The rich have indifference towards their own souls
And thus towards others and their goals

Thousands of years the rich have not learned
Not a thing, rather it is worse than I discerned
Authority was given to us as a people
Capable of not destroying the steeple

But as you yourselves like to portray
Your power over God’s children on display
Destruction wrought on the earth over power
Every and all commanders are in their tower

So what can you do now that will make a difference
What was built is founded on lies and indifference
Nature will turn on you when given the chance
Now think about that carefully instead of dance

As my heart bursts forth my fire I let it burn
Your love I seek and enormously yearn
I felt ashamed because of my desire
But no longer, as it was consumed by His Fire

I reached out and my hand was turned to glass
By now, my love, there should be no more class
Evil still regurgitating all the incoherent lies
Infected the body and now there are flies

I rely only on one thing deep down inside
The God of Love and not of pride
Yet I have been levelled down by your sins
All you care about are your so called wins

God’s anger palpable and turning into smite
My choice to drink or pour the cup of wrath is right
If I drink, then I alone suffer for it
If I pour, then the wrath of my Father I shall writ

The cup was full and I drank so down I went
Not that you care, I still paid the rent
I barely recovered and behold I looked
The cup of wrath was full again, I’m cooked

See my dilemma? See my predicament?
I came down for what I was meant
And now I must choose again, I can already feel it
I will suffer no matter what, I am all alone, I am it

My dreams as of late have faded into gray
Leaving me only to love you at the end of the day
If my prayers are selfish they are never answered
But for you I sacrifice and my prayers are heard

So much has been granted and I have to reveal
That those against me have chosen to steal
Though forgiveness comes their way by me
My Father will intercede for me you will soon see

So I worry not and I walk His way
I wonder, my love, if you have anything to say
So I revealed all my love and spilled onto the page
Every emotion set free from its cage

I yearn for your touch and I speak not in a riddle
I am just the one stuck in the middle
In the middle of loving you as much as I can do
With every moment I burn my heart for you

Been standing in the fire and I remain unharmed
The Lord watches over me and I am unarmed
I announce Him as my King for I can see
The future beyond this standing tree

My branches holding birds and flowers to feed bees
Branching out into the unknown full of decrees
Positing knowledge of divinity for their own sake
Admittedly renouncing anyone that is fake

The journey has brought me close to Him
We are forever changed and the future still grim
Gonna take an army you cannot see or know of
Hidden behind a veil you cannot pierce without love

Never gonna be shots in the dark with me
His undying faithful power through this gift you see
Is untapped, alone, and totally free
Alone with my suffering in total agony

It just takes a moment of rejection
To set yourself against an unction
That would give you powers beyond belief
Powers that to many would be a relief

But ignorance persists and invades your mind
Filling you with false justifications you will find
Dragging you downward into the dirt
Then you will lose your shirt

The powers that God grants are by faith and love
Given to those who ask it of Him through the Dove
What God gives He does not take away
I am living proof of it and I am here to stay

But people are riddled with the tendency to hate
Out of jealousy and what I do makes them irate
I love them despite their glaring eyes
Knocking me down into the mud despite my cries

They kick me while I am down in His name
And they hope it will be the ultimate fame
That propagates their own like some game
But the Lord sees right through the abusive gain

Twilight in the winter
On a cold and clear night
Bands of black, blue, and orange
Bound together across the sky
Wisps of sunlight glowing right through
With the darkest night behind me
I think with you I am not quite through

My body churns out pain and suffering galore
With Christ, there is always something more
Nobody knows who it is I suffer for
I yearn to be remembered by God and more
Boldness without faith and love is as bullheaded as a door
But to you my love, I beseech you and I implore
Enter into my heart while we dance on the floor

I can see my age shining through like slate
The greys are early and the wrinkles are late
I stand tall before the Lord only by His grace
This can be something you ultimately face
A way of living by love’s roots in God
From a large crowd you will all applaud

My thing is that I am filled with love so bright
To withhold it from you or pour it out is my right
Should you see it for yourself the acts bestowed
By my sacrifice, nothing I am owed
For I became nothing to let Him become me
Lo, I looked and behold He has set me totally free

Deification, my love, comes with a wave
Got just the thing you ultimately crave
A joyous exultation with heavenly praise
Living as a torch beyond your days
Forged in the furnace of creation
A real perfect love combination

Love does not decide anything, it just is
Without it, you cannot be His
Love itself, I must say has inscribed so deep
Your love’s condition, that I must weep
So reel me into your music and arms
And set off all my silent alarms

I walk the earth wrapped in suffering for you
I love you no matter what you could do
This notion does not make it to your heart
Instead it rejects me from the start

But hope always remains eternal
Though your thoughts are mainly carnal
Poured out here is a gift not just from me
But the God of gods, alas the Jesse tree

Your love means everything to me I must say
Journeying thousands of years in a day
I rest my soul on love itself and am comforted
My heart into your submission was jolted

My joy is complete when you ring me up
To share with you love’s divine cup
But I know that what was written was lost
Hard to make that call, so great a cost

I’ve journeyed across time and the cosmos
To find you and your love I adore the most
Such gorgeous eyes that radiate joy
That I would even let you use me as a toy

I plan on loving you every day and night
Despite what feelings you may have in flight
I reach for gentle forgiveness over violence
Thought you should know, if you’re on the fence

Gravity is grounded in matter
I am grounded in love, not the latter
No imagination can conjure the absolute truth
Truth that remains and is like a sleuth

To permeate the far reaches of the earth
Dancing with love’s curves before a hearth
A supernaturally strong heart that leaps
With the faith of a God that reaps

What I see is amazing and through God’s eyes
I turned and looked to catch your glance that cries
Cries out with agony over a denial of a certain kind
In your eyes are the jewels of your soul, I find

Pierced by the cry, the agony sustained forever
An offering acceptable and I will never sever
My love it lasts infinitely longer than what you think
I lift up what is accepted in a humble drink

Did you know that love is greater than diamonds?
You cannot hide in mountains or on islands
His divine will is love so I can and will never lose
Inklings turned to words that I so best choose

I want you to know that I will die before I deny
God’s love in the fashion that He serves, I try
But I got all this from one look that entirely shook
That I had to write it all out more than a book
