| Big black Bible Got a message from the heartland A gentle love tap-A groove of the right This Bible belt rap Though Pharisees adore them And televangelist -that doesn’t negate The truth that is this The message of the Savior Highlighted red- bold are the letters One risen from the dead Big black Bibles here they abound Knock you on the head- gentle judgment Turning sinners around Old testament prophets Called down holy fire But we have a weapon That truly awe inspires Big black Bibles That shout out no shame Not politically correct And definitely not tame Keeping us in line When our eyes stray Seeing this companion Temptation flees away |

| Strangers Passing people jostle Eyes sweep the unaware Who is that sitting- waiting Should I even care The eyes of a stranger Someone famous Or one malcontent All traveling faces With varied intent Strangers Some faces of stone Some smile or walk alone Looking fey- in fading light All so grim without respite Those passing strangers |

| A cry in the night Lonely hours slip Silent like a snake Underneath the covers I am still awake With a cry in the night The owl and the wolf The hunter and the prey Bitterness escapes Just waiting for the day A cry in the night Wondering and watching The hours run away The stars slowly fade Words can not convey A cry in the night |

| Black Hat The hat it was velvet Studded and true Dark was the reflection Black was its hue Deep in the mind There was a call A belt full of bullets Cowboys enthralled Wafting Grey clouds choke the pianos tune That hat on the table Pronounces its doom |

| Branded The hot molten medal Comes out of the fire The owlet pierced ear The law hath required Branded Rest assured o reader It‘s not an easy thing Know the insignia Of all the strange beings Branded Sometimes for slaves Yea even for crimes Demonic spirits mark men Others signs of the times Branded Snakes and dragons Crosses- favorite bands Fascinating addictive These colored sands Branded So if you look You will see the mark The stroke of the owner Expression of hearts Branded |
