Sightings

The start of a day
"Father I ask that you keep me through today
Whatever I face may You please make a way
I commit all to You, in Jesus name I pray
Amen"

Stepping out into the world
My five senses fully in touch with world
My eyes wide open like the sun that gazes down upon this earth
My nose taking in the breath that I'm blessed to take so I inhale
The blessing of life that I'm privileged to have
Not deserving of it but I give thanks to He who gave

Above the hum of nature, my ears hear the movement of our modern transportation
My feet feel the force of the earth pushing against gravity, a perfect equation
The trail of sweetness left on my tongue
Complementing the sweetness I hear in natures song

I'm moving forward
Driven forward
As I pass by what they call a haven
I realise though blessed I live in satan's eden
So my ears fight the sounds that try to penetrate into my reason
I plug in the sound of the music that my soul will season
Questioning why man can so defile their body with wine
Why so many perish because of listening to the devil's lying

Increasing the pace
Not quite ready for what I'm about to face
My eyes look and behold a shock, its just a young a child
But their actions, how she's dressed just looks like a woman who's defiled
How could her mother let out, make her child prey
But she only teaches what she is, so releases to the hounds at bay
How so painful to see the blindness of a broken innocence
My eyes turn away to keep within the state of my inner immanence

My next step lands on a curse
Something I cannot describe the hatred for in one verse
A box so small but its use is so perverse
What is says is right but the actions are adverse
It reads 'smoking kills' so why are they still selling
Coz in reality the distribution is just the equal of serial killing
This world I still live in
Is full of the corruption of the unbelieving

Ignoring my other senses' experience
I keep going, my journey continues
But it seems like this day has a world of experience
For the buffeting of evil of continues
I breathe in an aroma I'm sure is the stench of hell
Drunkenness or smoke I cannot even tell
She just blew it in my face and its disgusting just to taste it
Repulsive is the word I have to describe it

In my heart I sigh and cry for the abomination in this world
For in my heart there is an indictment being spoken by the Word
The things I wish to do I end and return
Though disregarded by my peers I still have a rest within
Step by step
I begin my escape
From the surroundings outside back to my home
Now back in confides of the place I belong

The end of a day
"Father I thank you for keeping me today
I pray forgive me if any wrong I may say
I know there is no problem that you cannot make a way for
You're my only hope and to whom I give all
May you keep my eyes fixed only on your Word
May you keep my ears shut from the things of the world
Guide my feet and feelings to your ways
Let my mouth give thanks for every breath I take
In your holy name I pray
Thank you for today
Amen"
