Death to Superficiality


I rip the bonds and break the chains,
I burn the box and say amen
I damn all limitations
That bring lack of connection

I damn the following mindsets,
Cause them to burn up to ashes
So that we can build better things
Than our former superficial ways:

This person is a different race,
We can’t connect in deeper ways
They’re scary and they need to change
So we can pretend we’re all the same

This person might have a disease
And they might bring it home to me
And it might cause me real problems
Best to lock them away in a dark closet

This person has a different way
Of seeing and describing God, Yahweh,
Creation, existence, life, and Source,
They need to pray and take my course

This person has romantic thoughts
For people other than who they “ought”
They should change their sexuality
To fit what I approve and comfort me

These lies shall die in the pit of Hell
As human hearts grow and swell
So we can accept those who are different than us
And still in the depths connect in Love

This person, at the core of who they are,
Expresses Love differently, but we’ve the same heart
And we need to have deep and real connections
To heal the world and love again

On greater depths shall we rebuild
With more of love and less of Hell
Death to superficiality
And to the pain it’s causing humanity!

Fears

Sometimes I feel like I am surrounded by enemies, dancing all around me Screaming Shouting into my head, into my heart In the mornings before school, And at night before bed When I can't stop thinking, can't stop thinking of all the mistakes I could make tomorrow, Remembering all the mistakes I made today, and yesterday, and the day before that one The times I screamed at kids, failed to motivate them, The times I didn't teach them anything or made them feel stupid And the enemy screams and shouts and pounds his drums In a frenzy And all I can hear is how awful I am And how I should quit and stop and leave and go And it's hard to hear the still, small, quiet voice of truth in my head, In my heart, Telling me what I've known all along, but forgot Forgot, forgot, forgot In the frenzy and pounding and screaming of the fears That tell me that I don't deserve to be here And what difference do I make anyway? But He just spoke to me yesterday, tol

Life or Death?

Give it away! It’s not really yours! Toss it out, it is destined to die. Unless you release this, you’ll never have more. Cling to it, and you too will die. For nothing is lost that isn’t already perishing Yahweh gives all that endures. But you can’t take what lasts if you cling to what’s leaving Eventually, you have to choose. So give up what is nothing To gain what’s forever Don’t lose your soul To gain a dying world! For what Yahweh has for you Is a true treasure Eternity, Himself The Word. He planned things for you long before creation What He’s had for you has always been yours Receive it, embrace it with jubilation Walk in fulfillment purposed. So that is the choice take it AND leave it For you can’t have both at a time. Reality or illusion? Truth or deceivement? The choice is entirely yours.

Weeping For Jerusalem

One time, Yahshua stood on a hill Overlooking the city He walked in, Lived in, worked in, played in, and He saw it And all of the people in it, those who did not know, And He was weeping, weeping for Jerusalem. Today, I stood in my classroom, The classroom I've taught in Worked in, played in, and I saw it, All of the people, who did not know And I felt like weeping, weeping for Jerusalem. There is a girl who thinks she is special Only when there is a boy to tell her so, A boy who thinks he's unworthy, Because no one has time for him, A girl who thinks it's her job To take care of her family--even though she's only twelve. And one girl has never even known what it's like To be safe and loved and warm in the night To her, what does it even look like to be free? She's never seen, she does not know. So I am weeping, weeping for Jerusalem Waiting, waiting for full redemption And as the bride I say, "Come!" Oh, Yahweh come! Come and
