I'm not strong,
I'm kind of weak,
I'm not mysterious,
I like to speak,
I'm not bad,
I try to be good,
I'm not rich,
I live in the hood,
I'm not "cool", but I can socialize
There's more to me than you realize
Most guys wear a disguise to their demise because of their lies, so don't end up their wives
You may want a player, but I'll give you prayer
I can't give you all the things you're tellin' me, but I can give you fidelity
Whoever my wife may be, I just pray she accepts me
I'm not a model, I'm not famous
And I can't promise our marriage will be painless
But I'll do my best make you spotless and blameless
I pray you're not looking at this broken facade
Because inside is a man that loves God
To me love and sacrifice are synonyms
Just like there's no sin in him, us apart is like Cinnabon with no cinnamon
Like mars candy with no m&ms
Like a lady with no feminine
So inspect me, and give me a review
At the end of the day, I love Christ and I hope that's enough for you

Letter From a Motorcycle To a Traffic Light
My beloved traffic light,
How's it going? You doing alright?
I haven't left my house in about two days so I really miss you
I've been driving on little streets that are residential
Been trying to find a replacement for you but I saw no potential
I keep running into dead ends and stops
Went too fast on a bump and my tires popped
You know I have shown my love time and time again at the intersection of hope and love
Been watching you watching me from above
And I know there's a height difference
But I'll get bigger wheels for you if thats your preference
See, my engine revs for you
You wouldn't even imagine my chain of thoughts for you
You may not be ready to love me but I will wait
I will wait at that same old place
I will wait for you to give me permission to go
Im not gonna rush things cause I know your not a....
Yo, I'll chase after you like a greedy man chased after green
So don't play with my heart, we're on the same team
And while I wait, I will not cross that line
and if I do, I'll back up and wait for my time
I'll wait for you to notice me
Yes, in this circle I will be
I will treat your friends well and never run their reds
Because I've seen a car door meet a bikes head, light
You are my light
These other lights on the side they wanna roll on the ride but your the one who saves lives
You keep me from bad company that crosses my path
You know a lot more than I do but I think I win at math
See I have numbers in my head all day long
You've got my head twisted like the wrong lyrics to a song
And though I'm low on juice, I'll run that extra mile for you
Now, please understand that I'm writing this letter because I'm two tired of hiding this passion
If you want me to stay current I'll keep up with the new bike fashion
I wanna shift the gears of our relationship
And I'll go hard for you like a racing bike in a championship
I saw you turn yellow when I said hello
I didn't mean to make you nervous but you still turned red, I deserved it
I know you see all kinds of bikes and cars
But just know that that my love for you will go very far
Sincerely,
Your manly motorcycle

Sometime, Be Serious
Sometimes you need to be serious to send your message across
Sometimes you need to leave jokes aside to point them to the cross
It's cool to be cool with the people around
But let them know how you've been found
Jokes can sometimes kill the authenticity of a speaker
Cause then you'll speak and they'll joke "listen to preacher"
Yes be charismatic but you don't always have to leave people laughing choking like asthmatics
Be funny and cool in moderation
Not like skinny jeans sensation
Infatuation for a short duration
Let your words be few and make them count
Something to review and talk about
In respect to my last two lines, I'll keep this poem concise
Before you joke think twice
Is this joke too far? Am I representing christ well?
They know I'm a Christian but can they tell?

Spoken Word Piece titled "Lord Have Mercy"
I have seen you, not with my eyes but I have seen through, the Word of life that ignites my eyes and melts away the ice, so I can have a clear view
When I saw you, I knew that it was true, my nerves became glue, my eyelids too, my body was goop
I had seen your love and kindness but now my iris became mightless like a broken staff because I saw your wrath
God you scared me worse than monsters under the bed, more than the walking dead, or cancer in my head, you scared me
Not because I feared what you would do to me but because I saw my friends and family, those that rejected your son were burnt at a million degrees plus one, because they enjoyed their sin and hated you from within, and now they were cast out, just like they wanted
God I saw your holy war against evil, against a sinful people who grieve your cathedral, against pretentious pastors and perverse popes medieval
God I saw your holiness defiled by false Christians who are Christians only when it's convenient to be Christian, but they deny the sacrificed Christ when they're sliced, diced, and enticed by the nice ice of the world
God I saw you do what you had to do, a long overdue, not new, but accrued due to the enemies of you
And I thought
God, Have mercy on their souls! That's Darren, John, and Joel!
My God, have mercy!
Those are my friends Ken, Brian, and Percy! I don't want a controversy, and I don't have much words see? But could you spare them please? Could you put their minds at ease? My mind at ease. Is there anyway to save them?! Do you have to condemn?!
And with a most serious look He turned to me and said, "These men are dead. Each rejected my gospel their whole life and now their reward is strife. But I want you to answer me, did you worry about their eternity? I didn't see you speak to them of the cross, yet you knew they were lost. You didn't even pray sincerely, you said a tiny prayer knowing full well that they'd be punished severely. Now you want them to be saved? Where were your prayers that day?"
I wanted to awake from this bad dream, I was saved by grace and my loved ones got steamed.
I knew it was the truth, I avoided evangelism like a cavity on a tooth, didn't want to be offensive so I acted like youth, loved popularity too much to be uncouth
And now it's judgement day and all I can say is God is here to stay and all his enemies will be cast away, so before its too late, mark a date to bring the raw gospel like sushi on a plate
I vow to make his name famous, the spotless lamb blameless, punished for our iniquity that earned us death yet with every breath bore the burden of men
You don't love God, you hate him!
And your rebellion has enraged him, but it instead of handing you your the death check to your work in sin he payed him.
He made his son pay for your errors and faced his own wrathful terror.
And now God made me saved, set the record straight like a dj, and Eri Erick got grace
Not because I deserve it but because of His Will, my deadly disease is cured by the medicine that is God's pill, the gos-pil
Preach the message in the deep truth and also in love, grace and peace to you from the father above. Lord have mercy.
