And Then A Hard Rain Came
and then a hard rain came
like a curse on the crescent city
breaking the levee
causing mass desruction
killing the lives of its' people
destroying their houses
separating survivors
from their loved ones
displacing pets and causing
some owners to stay behind
who could not leave their
cherished pets to die alone
my heart goes out to them
i pray God helps them
to find their way to
someplace safe
that they may be reunited
with the ones they love
their hope is in the heart of God
whose mercy is unlimited
He does not tear down cities
without rebuilding them
stronger than before
as is true with all
His children whose pleas
He hears and answers in
His own way and in His time
for He knows how each heart breaks
and counts the very tears
that trickles down their faces
and sheds a tear for all His people

Can You Hear Me Cry
can you hear me, Lord
when i cry
sometimes, i feel like
i could die
my cross is heavy
my path dark
the wounds i carry
leave their mark
can you hear me, Lord
when i cry
i am not hard yet
by and by
i wonder if you
hear me Lord
sometimes i do
cry to you

Erato
pay homage to erato
for she plays her flute
long into the night
her music as sweet
as the fragrance
of her crown of roses
the muse of love poetry
her inspiration lays
in waiting
for the poet's repetory

Evil
there is evil in the powder room
there is evil lurking in the halls
there's evil everywhere you look
it even pentrates the walls
it cares not who it helps or hurts
it's running rampant in this place
there's so much damage being done
it's such a horrible disgrace
