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.

On Father’s Day
Father’s are under attack It’s Fathers Day and probably the sermons you will hear today, and the things posted on social media, will be attacks on Father’s. Little jabs talking about how they need to do better, and are the leaders of the household or some other form of guilt and shame. And we wonder…
Not As The World Gives
God Doesn’t Do Like The World Does. Jesus said. “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”—John 14:27 (John 14:1-31–in context) When God calls us, and we turn to Him, confessing Jesus…
Does God Feel Distant?
He is with you. Believe it. There are times in our lives when we feel that God has abandoned us. It seems that He doesn’t hear and we don’t feel His presence or see His movements in our lives. I have experienced the same. God has opened my eyes to the reality of it, and…
