TO BE AN OUTCAST


TO Be An Outcast 

I hold on the what the Bible tell's : 
We didn't make ourselves , 
I shall write and sing an old man's 
Song to keep hanging on , 
Those were the day's when you  
Would see the love in their eye's  
For Jehovah ; 
But what we see today would make  
One cry and give up on life ; 
Expect nothing in this life , hold on to  
What is right in Jehovah's eye's  
That will lead to ''Paradise '', 
Become a stranger in this life ; 
Teach the word of true love from  
Heaven above ; 
In compassion give freely what is right 
In Jehovah's law's to all mankind , 
Watch the people succumb to madness  
With ample cheer ;  
So Jehovah God will be hear . 
Let them see Jehovah's love is walking  
With you in everything you do , 
Let them look askance at you and you  
Askance reply with Jehovah on your mind, 
Be an outcast ; walk alone and sing Jehovah's 
Song , You will never be alone . 
Let the crowded river beds hear the words  
Jehovah God want you to say ; 
Be brave and never let a hurt word come  
Out of your mouth , 
Be an outcast ,Qualified to live among your 
Dead , never lose your head .

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
