Hearing the crack of a whip... from across the field where cotton was picked...red blood flowed after...lashes given by the taskmaster...swinging away so hard...he would see stars...earning his stripes with every strike a stripe leaving scars...a master at whipping...wiping his brow...tired down...by the attempts of his affliction...but there was no submission...the on lookers were strengthened...a ribbon tied on our past to present a new beginning...

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY Wise_Notion
Good Pushers and Bad PreachersDealers exploiting our people pushing dope...bad preachers exploiting our people pushing hope...lost souls dont no how to cope...laugh at Gods words like its a joke...hardtimes designed for folks...to build their faith up to the sky...but whined up losing faith in the Most High...Gave up on God for bad preachers...so beware of false prophets in sheeps clothing the bible teaches...but we ignore it like the bible not a worthy source to reach us...So we rather honor and protect the dope dealing leaches...he serves what God don't...but we want we we want...but i wont...ignore parts of God that convicts me...so i can feel free but empty...ill take his word seriously...and let it fulfill me...and heal me...i accept all of Gods word... thats faith...you dont get to choose whats suitable for you...thats fake...the moment you do...you lose...the Holy truth...  |
By Any MeansBy any means...thats how the enemy plays...but what does God say...why dont we trust in his way...Glory is there...but we stand in the way...look at the price the Israelites had to pay...cause they wanted things their own way...crying to go astray...following after other gods like it was okay...same thing is happening today...trusting everything and everyone... but your God you betray...what an upside down world...where everything is good as hell...obsessed with ourselves...God break the spell... |
TruthfullyAre you willing to accept the truth...the whole truth ...and nothing but the truth...so help us God...moving like an angry mob... or standing doing nothing won't do the job...look to him...then look within...now lets begin... within... our communities...no more blind eyes... turning a blind eye...to us moving fruitlessly...truthfully we can't afford to sacrafice our own no more...if we gone win this war...theres peace to restore...not much time left...it's time we get right...then we'll be fit to fight...using God's might... |
Soul TrapSound like we wound up in a soul trap...rappers spitting street gospel but going beyond God...to get a gold plaque...talking how they had to struggle...and sale crack on every track...how was it a struggle if you trying to floss... money...cars...and clothes on top of that...you winning...comfortable with the liberties you're given...sinnin...as your record spinning...evoking spirits...with the poison in your lyrics... hidden...wise in your secular penin...you gone have to take acount for everything written...but God is forgiving...signing the wrong deal got you slippin...got you fighting for your master's back ....its irony in that...My God fights for me...those with eyes see... |
I am(Vengeance is the Lord's)Some fight to be like I Am...and some lose focus to become what God is...trying to change the script...to favor them...and some lay their life down like him...cause vengence is his...thats the type of God I Am is...following the steps...I am to follow...set apart... mortal men... finding power with God...Not as God...is how i choose to live...No folding.. |
Devil's DevicesThe devils devices...induse devisive disposition...deceptive descernment...in your description...and decisions...causing more division...ungodly thoughts...come to fruition...from an evil coalition... removing all conviction...till you're blind to your position...agreeing with the oppisition...freedom is freedom...the match and ignition... in addition to ammunition for our moral intuition...Gods ways become inhibitions |
No Faith in Beliefthey say they have no faith in belief...they need some gurantees... yet play roulette with life... but skeptics of the unseen...taking chances all day...then hope for a good night sleep ...to wake up to a blessing...then say oh lucky me...you driven by you...im driven by God...hope you can see...the difference...i bet on God...you say "i bet on me"...Faith |
Unspoken JoyTraveling through our Valley moments...while making atonement...for our sins...sincerely spoken...curing everything broken in us...unspoken joy as we see the mountain top approaching... |
The HeistGood Christ...they thought they've got away with another heist...another life...nearly stolen from the light...what a price... we pay... in spite...of being insured by your blood...evil at its height...our plight... reflecting your great visage... heavenly spiritual image...with all potential...Lord your grace and mercy is essential...but may your wrath be torrential...washing away all evil... |
99 and 199 sheep in the flock in the fold... and 1 went astray in the night in the cold...the Good Shepherd left the 99 on there own...to find the 1 that went off all alone...what was lost....was found...and brought back to its home...all for God to rejoice on his throne...The Good Shepherd |
