 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

poetryofadove

Sorrowful yet rejoicing,

As poor yet having much wealth;

Concerns are not invoicing,

About your spiritual health.

 

You act like having nothing,

Except the clothes on your back;

Yet possess everything,

Except for the faith you lack.

 

We have been speaking freely,

Our hearts are open wide;

That is making you really,

Feeling empty deep inside.

 

You are never restricted,

But you restrict affections;

Your thoughts have contradicted,

Causing you some afflictions.

 

I ask you widen your heart,

You being as a child;

Being righteously in part,

No longer being wild.

 

Be not unequally yoked,

With any unbelievers;

Because they have mocked and joked,

Us as being deceivers.

 

What partnership is lawless,

Righteousness with anarchy;

Are immoral ways flawless?

Just a bunch of malarkey.

 

What fellowship would embark,

As communion having light;

When they wander in the dark,

Having spiritual insight.

 

Of what accord as would Christ,

Having with Satan to share;

A believer be enticed,

To venture where others dare.

 

What accord has the temple,

With the idols and false gods;

As written in the Gospel,

All of them are merely frauds.

 

So be separate from them,

Touch nothing that is impure;

Or the Lord just might condemn,

With agony to endure.
