The Blame Game

The Blame Game

A poem by MK Douglas               Copyright © 2011

I see a big juicy red apple hanging on a tree
If I take one bite will you blame it on me?
Blame what? Is what some of you might say
Judgement on my sin never comes the right way
So blame it all on me, fuss and place the blame
And let it fall on me and just state my name
How lame can we be?  How sad can it be?
To place blame freely like we're Adam and Eve?
So blame it all on me, go and place the blame
It came for all to see and show my face in shame.
Now I'm not mad at you for pointing straight at me
I'm just glad I'm not like you who I would hate to be
But enough of this madness.  I'd rather choose God's love
Which is tough on sadness, so please do not judge.

Time Is On My Side.

Time Is On My Side

A poem by MK Douglas              Copyright © 2011


Time Is On My Side.  Where has the time gone?
I long to see some change and to stop singing the same old song.
I'm ready to live a victorious life.  I'm tired of things always going wrong.
I'm dying to see real changes.  I've been waiting so long.
I don't mean to complain.  I do count my blessings.
I have endured alot of pain.  My sins I keep confessing.
Time is on my side.  I should do what's right with it.
I better use what God gave Me.  I'm truly gifted.
24 hours a day and I just keep on living.
I pray that no selfishness overtakes what I keep on giving.
Hours and hours of time spent letting God love through me.
I truly don't want to live this life in vain, you see.
I don't want to wait until I get to heaven to love, as crazy as it sounds.
As long as I'm living I choose to do what really counts.

Love Put On Hold.

Love Put On Hold

A poem by MK Douglas              Copyright © 2011

I once was told about a love that's grown cold
Someone abused and used is how this story unfolds
This person takes his pain and keeps it bundled inside
All the mistakes and shame he gives a place to hide.
Rooted and grounded in hurt and agony
I knew it and founded his story so sad to me.
I thought to myself how can they be so mean to this guy
Then I began to listen to his words and take heed to his cry
A man in tears and sorrow with fears about tomorrow
Knows that holding back love is a tough pill to swallow.
He asked someone "Why me?" and played the role of a victim
When all along the devil tried to take his soul and trick him
Into placing blame on God for everything that goes wrong
Instead of facing the same lies he's been hearing so long
I'm happy to report that this story has a good ending
When I got word that he chose Jesus as His new beginning.

Winning The Battle Of Life.

Winning The Battle Of Life

A poem by MK Douglas              Copyright © 2011

Life is an ice cream.  Enjoy it before it melts.
It's time for me to live my dream and not someone else.
The time keeps on ticking.  No way to make it stop.
Only if I could jump back in time and turn back the clock.
This battle of life I try to fight with everything I got.
With all my might I blast demons in sight without missing a spot.
I choose to fight this war to win in life not lose by the sword.
I swing away at the trials in life and they keep coming back for more.
One by one oh here they come, so I just take them day by day.
Why oh why don't they let up some and just learn to play my way?
Winners win and losers lose.  Another defeat I cannot afford.
Sinners sin and snoozers snooze.  It's about time I trust in the Lord.
He will help me fight this fight and no more will I retreat.
Moving forward and marching on with His help I won't be beat.

Love Has Taken Over.

Love Has Taken Over

A poem by MK Douglas         Copyright © 2011


Love has taken over.  It gave my flesh the cold shoulder.
No longer drunk but sober.  So glad I didn't wait till I got older.
My flesh keeps screaming why.  I tell it that God's love can no longer hide.
The test is to keep seeing it die.  I gotta keep winning this battle inside.
Love has taken over.  Selfishness has left the building.
Like a good soldier to the Spirit I keep on yielding.
Love has taken over.  It kicked selfish sin out the door.
So many times I've seen love win this title bout before.
Love has taken root.  And those roots run deep in my heart.
Love has a place in you.  It grows true and keeps the sin apart.
Let me share this nugget with you and I pray that you all will get it.
The only way that selfishness will win is if we sin and let it.

Afraid No More.

Afraid No More

A poem by MK Douglas.         Copyright © 2011


Hahahaha!  Who's laughing now?  I'm the one.
Fear thought it had me down, but now it's done.
It's had enough.  It ran far away from me.
I've gotten tough.  Don't think what I say is funny.
It was either love or fear.  I had to choose.
Let me make it clear: This war was mine to lose.
Fear thought it had a chance to win.  It tried to creep in
Trying to get a man to sin.  Again and again.
But love came on the scene strong.  It corrected my delaying.
It doesn't seem wrong, not with effective praying
Killing all thoughts to stop moving.  I no longer hesitate.
Being scared is what I'm not doing.  My love goes stronger out the gate
Running like a horse full speed ahead.  Eyes focused on the prize.
The fear in me is indeed dead.  I no longer listen to it's lies.

I Used 2 B.

I Used 2 B

A poem by MK Douglas.         Copyright © 2011

I remember the old me back in the day
Who always let the sin in me have it's way.
I now look back at those days and wonder how
I talked with a very nasty mouth so foul.
I always tell people who didn't know me then
How they would hate to see the old me again.
If they only knew what I was like so full of sin
A dark cloud hovered over my devilish grin.
I crucified that old me some 20 so years back
Who tries to rise up often with a surprise attack.
Trying to get me to choose selfish sin over Godly love
But thankfully I choose right from my Help above.
People who I used to not like, I no longer hate them
It's hard to do that after I became a new creation.
I need to get in contact with old friends who need to see this
They need to see the new me who truly loves Jesus.

Right Now.

Right Now

A poem by MK Douglas        Copyright © 2011


When will I ever learn
That God's love is something I could ever earn
When will I ever know
That His unconditional love will never go
When will I ever see
That His goodness will never stop following me
When will I ever help
To realize that I could never justify myself
When will I ever choose
To stop acting like I'm all confused
And know that when I'm strong in Him I never lose
When will I ever adapt
To the stone cold fact that when it comes to the depths of His love
I don't know jack.

Looking No More.

Looking No More

A poem by MK Douglas       Copyright © 2011


I was searching and hurting for a love that would hook me
It was thirty and a sturdy long days I was looking
I traveled the globe and wandered in many far away countries
And I hoped as I pondered if any hearts of them loved me
So I wore out and poured out alot of love energy
To see if anybody would want to be kin to me
But then on the thirty first day I got lucky
Just when I never ever thought a person would hug me
The same person who did hug me told me Jesus loved me.

Someone I Know.

Someone I Know

A poem by MK Douglas    Copyright © 2011

I know of someone special.  One sent from heaven above.
A truly gifted vessel, beaming forth God's love.
Who this person is - I don't know if I should tell.
Maybe it's a woman, or perhaps a good male.
If I were to tell you, I would ruin the secret.
I'm compelled to -  No way I'm gonna keep it.
Now don't get surprised if you can't guess it right.
Just close your eyes and see a well lit night.
And look up at the stars and say "Am I the one?"
Would you really go that far and ruin all the fun?
Okay, Okay, I'm almost done with the teasing
Today, no way do I pray without ceasing
For the one person I have kept hiding from you
Whose agape love keeps shining so true.
You knew it all along - I was talking about you
Don't get me wrong the way some without it do.

Just out of the blue?

In July 2011, I wrote one poem.  And then after that one poem it seemed like a fountain of inspiration poured all over me and it hasn't stopped.  I wrote some songs back in the day, but not poems.  Anyway, the poems I am writing are all centered on the love subject.  The GODLY AGAPE UNCONDITIONAL love.  God's love.  I am still learning on how deep it is, but it can't be measured.  It will take me forever to fully understand it, but hopefully as I continue to write the love poems, many of you who read will be inspired to think more about God's love and let Him love through you.
