Lost


I've been to the town of lost.

And we aren't brought there

we're tossed.

And your yearn for God

is taken and locked.

Like Moses's people, we're slaves to our Pharoah 

Denying God, denying God

And taking a spare load

No longer telling people about God 

But getting told.

jesus, Jesus, JESUS!

Today it seems like, it doesn't matter

What you say

But how you deliver it

But that isn't going to bring you

Deliverance

I've been to the town of lost

Where they commit

Like the devil and the truth

Fetal position, with a roof

of lies and religious

collisions

but this flame is bullied by a whisper

a flame surrounded by tame 

full of surrender 

"I will never leave you, nor forsake you"

I've been to the town of lost

Where people aren't convised

every inch of them is fooled

Being fed lies, they only think they're full

But sin leaves you hungry

like air entering your stomach

Inflated deception

Decrepit vitality 

tormented feelings

and stained spirituality 

I've been to the town of lost.

But nothing compares

To love that's consistent

A powerful God who's being is 

omniscient,

And will forgive you

No matter how many times you, decided to quit

A God who brings you to resolution

Leads you to land of milk and honey, it's proven

and your troubles are buried.

I've been to the land of found

and you're not brought you're

carried.

Poetry has always been my passion. I was raised in a Christian home, and I attend The Rock Church of San Diego CA. My poems reflect who I am, my issues, the issues I witness, and overall God. I've been writing poetry for my youth group for 5 years. The moment I saw this scholarship I KNEW I had to apply, it correlates to things I love and I am passionate about. Poetry and my Future
