Good News In Bad Times

 

          Good News In Bad Times

I was watching the news the other day.

I thought: ‘This is no way for people to play.’

This is all like it’s controlled by Satan.

All the killing & trouble is of his making.

He is, or was, the ‘prince’ of this place.

He has no plans that were laid in haste.

He hates man & is jealous of all of us.

He would like to kill every last one of us.

How can we be foolish enough to allow this?

Stupid enough to embrace Satan with a kiss?

The Holy Bible is our guide book to avoid this.

Many don’t believe the Bible. It’s hit & miss.

We are doomed if we don’t trust & follow God.

I’m not preaching ‘doomsday’, or anything odd.

Just quoting facts from the word of truth.

I am not trying to be uncouth.

I know it’s scary.  Even frightening at times.

But, the truth must be told. It’s not a crime.

Take the time to give God some thought.

Remember some things you may have forgot.

God is love. He is the way, the truth, & the light.

Strive to know Him with all your might.

Repent & pray for guidance from above.

He will give you all His love.

You will know that you are saved.

You can have relief & ride the waves.

Waves of trouble like has never been seen.

Through faith, you will live like a queen.

In the end God will bring you through.

Your reward will be He will always be with you.

Missing You

         Missing You

Many days have gone by.

I haven’t heard from you.

I haven’t told a lie.

What are you putting me through?

Give me a clue.

Drop me a line.

Send an E-Mail too.

Just take the time.

I’m not into this .

I am not with your vibes.

I miss your goodnight kiss.

I don’t like being taken for a ride.

I think back.

All was very good.

Was I blind ? I have eyes like a cat.

You always responded like you should.

There was no problems that I could see.

We were closer than Mork & Mindy.

It seemed that this is how it should be.

I say “Nanu, nanu to it all, Cindy.”

Could it be you’ve found another?

Could it be you are no longer alive?

I loved you more than I have any other.

You could come over. You know how to drive.

I will attempt to contact you.

I will use all the means I know.

No response means we are through.

Then I’ll know where I should go.————-R. W. Johnson—–(2014)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Catch A Dream”

“Catch A Dream”

I decided to come today.

I just may come again tomorrow.

I am sure I won’t find any sorrow.

 

This is called “Catch A Dream.”

Where it can all come true.

All our clients are treated the same.

Race, intelligence, or physical state.

We are called “Catch A Dream” for a reason.

About then, my alarm clock went off.

But, tonight, we will see, before I scoff.

The Ultimate Magician

           The Ultimate Magician

Today was the day of his opening show.

He was a magician, don’t you know.

He had an act you wouldn’t believe.

This guy could really deceive.

His total act was all new tricks.

Never done by other ‘big hits’.

His fame spread far and wide.

Soon, he was playing Vegas, doing shows live.

His fame grew so big that it exploded.

Other magicians came, it was noted.

None could explain how he did his illusions.

It was done smooth, with no protrusions.

Then he upped the ante by doing the impossible.

Other magicians said “It just isn’t possible.”

They began to talk among themselves.

Could this man do ‘real’ magic, do tell?

They devised a plan to catch him off guard.

They would find out just how dumb they are.

Because, just as they sprung their trap,

he disappeared,—-how about that!!

He never reappeared again.

For him it was the end.

Magicians still talk about him today.

They keep thinking ‘maybe there’s a way’.

But, what price did the young man have to pay?

I’ll let you figure it out in your own way.

The Insanity Of Man

              The Insanity Of Man

The desolation was unbelievable.

To look at a city hit by a  nuclear bomb.

Anything left standing was inconceivable.

Total annihilation before the calm.

Anything of value was unretrievable.

A coating of gray covered it all.

Death in the ultimate sense.

One of the most horrible things I saw

were human bones tangled in a fence.

Nothing moved. The dust slightly stirred.

Tossed about by the dry endless wind.

Then I swore there was moaning I heard.

Cries of the dead from this unspeakable sin.

Time has passed but, almost no change here.

A scar on the earth, a reminder for man.

This is something to always fear.

Never do this again to the land.

How did it ever happen before?

How could one country think that way?

Did they run in when Satan opened the door?

There is no justification that they could say.

Man is a slow learner in the school of hard knocks.

History should teach him to change his ways.

Instead they try to bluff, bully,  and out fox

their so called ‘enemy’ in every way.

I don’t want to see the day when it happens again.

Next time on a world wide scale, I say.

That will  be the end of man’s peaceful pretend.

Man will be a figment of the imagination

to those who look upon the ruined earth.

They will wonder with fascination.

If a race does this what were they really worth?

A Better High

               A Better High

I don’t use smack & I don’t use crack.

I don’t associate with those who do.

Hallucinogenics are  exactly that.

They are not the real you.

Alcohol can give you a buzz.

In the end it will be the end of you.

You’ll end up wanting it the way it was.

Marijuana can get you high.

You’ll lose all motivation .

You won’t even try.

Many things can get you high.

If that is what you’re looking for.

Higher than a kite can fly.

But, the crash is a real chore.

The old saying remains true.

What is that you may ask?

You can never run away from you.

It’s shocking when you remove the mask.

There is something much better.

You will stay high all the time.

It is the forgiveness and love of God.

I will take that high anytime..——————-R.W. Johnson—–(2014)

 

Fat Cat Nap

                Fat Cat Nap

Early one morning I awoke from sleep.

I had the urge to take a leek.

I dragged out of bed for a bathroom break.

I still was not fully awake.

I was still in a sleepy mood.

But, I felt like I needed some food.

I went to the kitchen to get a bite.

I found some cereal that I like.

The kitchen floor on my feet felt cool.

I still hadn’t put on socks or shoes.

As I sat at the table starting to eat,

I felt something against my feet.

It felt like whiskers, was my guess.

Probably Squally wanting food, no less.

Then I felt something cold and wet.

It was rubbing against my feet yet.

It was probably Squally so I looked down.

It wasn’t a fat cat that I found.

At my feet was a large rat.

I jumped & spilled cereal in my lap.

The rat was gone in nothing flat.

“Squally!!”, where is that fat cat?

I went looking to see where he was at.

He was in the living room asleep in a chair.

He didn’t even know the rat was there.

I let Squally smell my feet.

Hoping he would smell the rat & get to his feet.

He took a sniff of my foot.

Then gave me a dirty look.

Then turned over & went back to sleep.

He could care less about my feet.

Does this happen every time?

I am just playing a game in my mind.———-R. W. Johnson—–(2014)

 

This One Goes Out To The One I Love

 

  This One Goes Out To The One I Love

I am on the  radio doing a live show.

Playing a few songs that I know.

This one goes out to the one I love.

A special song that speaks of my love.

 

I don’t know what happened to us?

Once we were happy. There was no fuss.

Then, we were agreeing to be apart.

That never came from within my heart.

 

You went your way & I went mine.

That was when everything stopped in time.

I have been frozen in every way.

Always thinking back to that terrible day.

 

I have never felt so bad in my life.

Living without you has brought daily strife.

I don’t understand what went wrong?

Better communication I should call this song.

 

This one goes out to the one I love.

A special song that speaks of my love.

I want you back more than each breath.

If you can hear me, don’t give up yet.

 

let’s start new. Enjoy that newness of love.

My hand in yours will fit like a glove.

With you by my side I am complete.

I want to sweep you off of your feet.

 

Together all our dreams can come true.

I want to be the only one for you.

I know your likes and dislikes.

We can be one without any fights.

 

This goes out to the one I love.

Coming to you like love from above.

Take it to heart and come back to me.

You will never be sorry. You will see.——–R. W. Johnson—–(2014)

 

 

 

What Goes Around Comes Around

What Goes Around Comes Around

To the ones you left behind.

Were we not worth your time?

We never heard you say goodbye.

We never got a reason why.

 

Here’s to you who couldn’t see.

What it was you did to me.

Now you’ve thrown it all away.

Now there’s nothing left to say.

 

I am living in the shadow, love.

The shadow of your tragic love.

The darkness you’ve left me with.

Along with others that are miffed.

 

Players only love you when they’re playing.

The lives you ruin is wrong, I am saying.

Revenge is mine along with the others.

The day is coming when we’ll have our druthers.

 

Did you think you could go on forever?

Destroying others lives like they never

existed, except for your personal pleasure.

That will change. I am no mystic sayer.

 

But, I know when I speak the truth.

You have been doomed from your youth.

Your past conquests will raise up.

That will be the end of your luck.

 

Love will have a different meaning after that.

You will change your ways and that’s a fact.

You will be loving, kind, considerate, & more.

You will show no one to the door.

 

Your days as a player will be over.

You’ll spend your time lying in clover.

With the one you truly adore.

Praying she won’t think you’re a bore.

 

Always, you will be in fear.

She will dump you like dumping a beer.

She will walk away & rip your heart out.

You’ll remember that is what life was about.

A Work In Progress

A Work In Progress

The explosion was extremely loud.

It shook the foundation of my soul.

It was enough to blow off a shroud.

If I had one covering me head to toe.

 

An explosion of pure knowledge.

An awakening to the  ‘real’ truth.

Learning more than when in college.

Knowing how to detect any ruse.

 

It happened when I accepted Jesus.

I was overwhelmed when it came.

Like the scales on my eyes releases.

I have never been the same.

 

Oh, what joy. What a feeling.

I MUST tell others of this.

If I can ever stop kneeling.

So thankful for the heavenly kiss.

 

Come to Jesus one and all.

Have your sins washed away.

Answer that heavenly call.

Let Jesus tell you what to say.

 

You’ll be heaven bound.

You’ll be one of His family.

There will be many others around.

Or, at least, there can be.

 

We have a work to do first.

Spread the good word all around.

Then many others can escape the curse.

They also will be heaven bound.————–R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
