Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

I urge you as sojourners,

Abstain from fleshly passion;

For being as the learners,

In a heavenly fashion.

Wage not war against the soul,

Honorable what you do;

Because Heaven is your goal,

As long as you remain true.

When someone speaks against you,

They may see all your good deeds;

Realizing that you tell true,

And God caters to your needs.

Submit yourself to the Lord,

To the ordinance of man;

Show He is loved and adored,

Which is fitting for His plan.

Whether a king as supreme,

Or governors to punish;

Reality is your dream.

Earthly pleasures admonish.

For this is the will of God,

And silence foolish people;

Showing Him honor and laud,

Go proclaiming the Gospel.

Live as people who are free,

Using to conceal evil;

Wisdom gives insight to see,

Disguises of the devil.

Honor others with the love,

From the Lord that you revere;

The Emperor from above,

With respecting as you fear.

Be subject to your master,

Giving him all your respect;

Making the day go faster,

When you do never reject.

For this is a gracious thing,

When you would endure the grief;

For the blessing it will bring,

With your firm faith and belief.

What glory in if you sin,

Beaten for it to endure;

But when doing well within,

Suffering to make you pure.
