Violet Violence
Am I a man of God, or a man of men? Why must there be a difference? What was your purpose in creating me? Was I not built to do your will? I’m I not worth your time? Why create me only to leave me alone? God, will you not answer me? Why have you…

WildFire
Have you ever seen a true wildfire? The ones that create the wills of whips are paltry by comparison. The ones that get doused by water and dirt are not worth mentioning. The ones that burn through cities and towns are unremarkable. A true wildfire will burn and consume. It will eat and devour without…

Unearthed
Unearthed Who am I that you would care for? Who am I that you would seek for? Am I worth it? Maybe, perhaps not. / I was buried Underneath my evils Drowning in the tide Dragged out beyond the coast Land seemed like a dream For days on end Air was a foreign object /…

I AM – Genesis 1
Genesis 1 I AM the One that made the heavens and the earth separate. I called the Light and the Dark to be distinct. With a word, the seas and skies were divided. In a day, the oceans were collected and the land rose up. “Bring forth plants so that they may bear fruit.” Trees…

Plastic Bottle Top
Years ago, In a land not too far away, I was hunting, Deer was my target, I had access to private property, I had gained it through a hunker, Armed with a .308 rifle, And a Pepsi strapped to my chest, I moved through the dense woods, In hopes that I may find my quarry,…
