    A Shot in the Dark / Shell Game
    By Richard Powell

    A SHOT IN THE DARK

    Fate is no stranger ,
    I am its course

    The differences between

    Destiny and fate
    is a matter of choice

    If I turn the bend

    Will it lead me
    to the end?

    If I take the curve
    too fast

    Will I turn
    at the end?

    If I am at
    the crossroad

    What track
    am I on?

    No
    choo choo train here

    Nor whistles
    blowing

    To tell me
    what’s ahead

    Only light and dark
    that I must tread

    No stop sign to watch

    Except
    what I have done

    No signal to alert

    If conscience
    is not on track

    No light ahead
    if I am in the dark

    No conductor
    if I am its charge.

    A Poeatreeman

    There are two Roads, one Course
    There are two Ends, one Right
    There are two Choices, one Left
    There are two Fates, one Heaven
    There are two Doors, one Open
    There is one Time, when I was Born
    One God, to Open the Door
    One to Close it all Behind.

  • A TARNISHED STAR

    A TARNISHED STAR

    CANNOT SHINE BRIGHT

    WHEN TRUTH IS HIDDEN
    FROM THE LIGHT.

    MAN’S SHADOW

    CAST THE NIGHT

    TO COVER ALL

    EVEN RIGHT.

    THE SUN WILL RISE
    THE NIGHT WILL FALL

    WILL TRUTH BE SHOWN
    OR WILL OUR STAR FALL ?

    IT IS UP TO MAN
    TO MAKE THE CALL.

    A TARNISHED STAR
    WE WILL NOT SEE ALL.

    HOW MANY LIES
    BEFORE MAN WILL FALL ?

    HOW MANY DAYS
    BEFORE ALL IS GONE ?

    FORK TONGUE

    THE WORDS OF MAN

    IS HARD
    TO UNDERSTAND.

    HE SPEAKS
    WITH INNUENDOS.

    SMILES
    THROUGH IT ALL.

    GRINNING
    HIS WORDS.

    MOST OF ALL.

    TRUTH WILL
    SHINE BRIGHTER

    WHEN CONSCIENCE
    IS TRUE.

    WORDS WILL BE
    CLEARER

    WHEN GOD
    IS COMING THROUGH.

    TRUTH WILL MAKE
    YOUR SMILE GLEAM.

    BRIGHTER THAN A LIE
    WILL EVER BE.

    SHADES OF GRAY

    THE DARK SIDE OF TRUTH
    IS A LIE IN THE SHADE
    IT COVERS IT OVER
    WHERE IT IS ALL GRAY.

    YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH
    AS OLD JACK WOULD SAY.

    Seek and Find

    It Covers it over
    Where Truth
    Can be found.

    It is
    Out in the Open
    Lying under a Lie.

    Look it Over

    See what
    You will find

    It is Hidden
    In a Place

    Of Darkness and Mind.

    LABEL MAKERS, MAN TO STAMP MAN

    I COLOR IN BETTER, WHEN LOVE IS TRUE
    IT DOES NOT SMEAR, LIKE CRAYON I USED
    IT MAY BE BLUE, YET IT IS STILL LOVE TO ME.
    IT HAS ALL THE COLORS, I CAN SEE
    THE ONES GOD GAVE TO YOU AND ME.

    LABEL MAKERS

    There are
    Labels for Man

    He Sticks it on Life
    Calls it Right

    He Names it all
    To Identify Himself

    What is Man
    A Label in Hand

    Ready To Mark
    His Fellow Man

    I’ll Label You Black

    I’ll Label You White

    I’ll Label You Red

    I’ll Label You Right

    I’ll Color it all

    To Match Your Life..

  • DOCTOR TRUTH: GOVERNMENTAL POLICY: THE BEST GOBBLER AWARD


    Supreme Court

    I DO NOT LIKE
    THE COURTS DECISIONS,
    WHEN FIVE .& FOUR ,
    IS OUT OF LINE.
    TRUTH IS NOT GREATER,
    BECAUSE IT IS NINE.

    THERE IS ONLY ONE
    GOLDEN LINE
    WRITTEN
    BEFORE OUR TIME
    TRUTH IS MINE.

    IT IS NOT GOVERN BY MAN
    NOR CAN HE SHAPE IT
    TO SUIT HIS HAND.
    IT IS NOT WRITTEN
    IN THE PLAN.

    GOD is Holding in His Hand
    He Hopes Man will take His Plan

    A GOVERNMENTAL POLICY

    A Governmental Policy
    Has to be Defended

    By Those who Fought a War
    and against all Truth

    For the First Barrel to Shoot
    is Deception

    Truth is not Dead
    only Wounded

    But we
    That must Face the Guns

    Are Left with a Battle
    We Sometimes don’t Want

    To Fight For Truth
    Or Our Country?

    A War That Rages
    In Each Our Hearts

    To Commit
    To all We Know is True

    To Stand Up
    When Our Country is Calling

    What Voice do I Hear
    and Who is Calling?

    The Drums of War
    Or Truth Being Silenced out?

    I must Know Wrong
    To Have the Answers

    For Truth
    Cannot be a Casualty For Long

    And Government
    Will have to Face it all

    It is our Blood
    That Runs in Red

    It is Our Time
    To make it Right

    It is Our Country
    That We must not Let Die

    It is Our Hearts
    That Can Keep it Alive.

    A THOUGHT!

    There are no Credits in War
    Only a Sad Commentator
    For Peace
    Fear is not ignorance!
    Ignorance is War
    For Knowledge
    is the Understanding
    Your Enemy is War
    Strike at it with Wisdom
    Peace will be yours.

    A Poeatreeman

    It is Truth that will let us see it all

    It is God that can protect us all

    Dedicated To All That Held Up Truth

    For You have fallen but not forgotten

    One Day all will be unveiled

    The Cloak of Secrecy Covers us all

    For Truth Spoke The Words,

    He heard what He had said

    My Country must be served,

    Truth will be My Guide

    Honor is My Country,
    If Truth is not to Hide

    Loyalty is My Country,
    If Right is on its Side

    Duty is My Country,
    If I can walk with God

    Honor, Duty, Country,
    Is better Served with God

    Loyalty is Better given
    When Truth is at its side.
