My Poems

Rebel Poetry by Chris Bunton

I don’t follow the rules.
I don’t believe that the rule makers are better than me.
I don’t accept their authority to own me.

So, I write poetry.
Because I can make my own rules.
If you don’t like it.
Don’t read it.

I hate the grammar nazis;
who correct my mistakes,
And make themselves feel great.

I write my poems.
So people can understand.
I don’t want to hide my words
Or give mystic meanings.

I want to drive you to action.
I want to get you to see.
I want you to remember.
And fly away free.

What’s the point of writing?
If no one can read?
It’s like a single beer,
In a house full of drunks.

My poems are for me.
Because I know 
That someone will agree.
If I speak the truth loudly.

I write poems,
Because it flows.

It just simply goes
And I can’t seem to quit.

It’s where I’m free to fly,
And make the laws
That you must obey
Momentarily.

Why Do We Study Prophecy?

So, we know the seasons. The Bible is 30% prophecy, as some have stated. But, when you consider that the whole thing is about Jesus Christ, and that all the stories and pictures speak of Him, His First Coming and Second Coming, I think its more like 100%. God has called all believers to be…
