Spoken word by the spiritual poet

21st century poetry/essays from a spiritual perspective

  • The Young, The Hopless, My People

    This thought was inspired about 20 years ago by the cyclical systemic roots of indemic poverty which pervades the urban enclave outside the gated communities nationwide and its malginant magnetic pull on our youth population.  Again, this thought was written in a matter of a couple of hours by inspiration. “The young, the hopeless, my people” Entrenched deep in Continue reading

  • I Am With You Until The End Of The Age

    This piece was inspired and written for my mother’s 80th birthday celebration. “I’m With You Always Until The End Of The Age” When the fullness of God’s Word had come, in the dawn of 1928 on the 21st day of the 3rd month, the multitude of heaven’s witnesses resounded in jubilation and joined creation in Continue reading

    This thought was inspired by The Gospel of Luke chapter 9:51 (NRSV – “When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem.“) where Jesus set his face to Jerusalem shortly after The Transfiguration experience  in expectation to complete the ultimate eternal atoning act as the Continue reading

  • The Latter Days

    This thought was inspired by our ever changing world advancing in knowledge to a place where seemingly absolute biblical truth is no longer the truth.  The mores of man has wandered far from God and has pushed His Word to the margins of humanity and now that which has replaced God’s word lives and dwells Continue reading

  • The Faith Of Abraham Cannot Be Found In This Generation

    This thought was inspired from The Gospel of Matthew chapter 12:43-45 where it discusses the notion of evil spirits leaving a person but eventually returns with several more.  Their occupation results in a state of total unrest (financial, social, emotional, and spiritual) for that person.  With the trappings of 21st century living, it’s become increasingly Continue reading
