This hard-hitting, truth telling, no holds barred, more real than reality tv, poetry transcends the slam, spoken-word, and arts and entertainment catagories.

Many of my poems are posted there as well. [itunes pic]
If you liked “Speaking My Peace” you’re going to love this classic off the Spirit-Filled Spoken Word album. The live audience really gives the words a third dimension. Lyrics: The message got messed with (Phil. 1:15-16) so we’re here to correct it (2 Tim. 3:16) The Son “has been perfected” (Heb. 7:28) when our Faith (1 John 5:4) was resurrected (1 Pet. 1:3) Check it!

(Luke 22:34) Preferring Truth is not a bias, but the lie is (Rom. 1:25) divisive (Hos. 10:2) Like Ananias (Acts 5:3) we’re indecisive (1 Kin. 18:21/Joel 3:14) in a crisis; not the wisest (1 Cor. 1:25/3:19-20) when we analyze it Y’all are too quiet Maybe thinking “I don’t buy it!” But if it’s free, (Is. 52:3) then it’s not for sale (Acts 8:20) Nineveh is waiting (Jonah 3:2) and we’re still in the whale (Jonah 1:17) Free manna’s getting stale (Ex. 16:35) while we’re praying crops won’t fail?
