A Leader’s Prayer
My men are all asleep. I'm the only one awake. But, in truth, it isn't just me. It's Almighty God as well. Here, in this chapel, I haven't been since I was three. There, now, I find myself, Bended on both knees. I beseech the King most high, My commander and redeemer, "Lord, keep all …
Seasons
Watching the wind whirling outside, Snowflakes falling, Floating in a swimming pool, Summertime calling. Seeing the leaves changing colors, Flutter away. Hearing birds in the trees, Branches sway.

Winter Storm
Inhale the winter air, Feel it chill the breath, Send a shiver down the spine, Raise bumps to the skin. It numbs your face, Dries out your lips, And hurts your joints. But you step out into the snow, The crunch of your boots Being the only sound, The blinding, white surroundings Being the sole …
Anti-Establishment Radio
Loners, wanderers, freaks, Lend me your ears. Come to me, All who struggle and are angry, And the music will give you release. I'll be your DJ. I'll give you what you need. The oldies that hurt your heart, The country that drives you crazy. The metal that grinds your teeth. Get in your car, …
