There is a beauty I see in poetry, when it’s graced with truth and mystery, yet free from hypocrisy.
When pain and hurt becomes an inspiration to write for, and it’s poetry that makes the POET/PROPHET free.
But this poetry is spoken with no respecter of persons, so there’s controversy.
Controversy at times can be a beautiful thing, because it represents change.
It breaks the mold of status quo’s, and things shall never be the same.
For this is my life, my truth, my poetry, my pain.
Now if there be controversy because I speak the truth, then let us change the game.
“The Tormented Soul!”~
All my life I been in a rush to get old.
I’m a young man born with an old man’s soul.
I refuse to be what people expect me to be, and to just do what I’m told.
My spirit cries out revolution, and rebellion lives within my soul.
I’m just trying to grasp eternity in my own personal stranglehold.
Now what a sight to behold, for I am the tormented soul.
All my life I’ve been a troubled youth.
Now I’m an old-young man tormented by the truth.
Even when I try to break free of Him, he refuses to let me loose.
For I am a chosen vessel fit for the Master’s use.
Have you ever dreamed a dream, that your ugly life was tormented by beautiful things?
Have you ever imagined living life beyond the reality of your now, far beyond the clouds above.
Can you imagine a life full of hate, being tormented by love?
Can you imagine seeing GOD’S vision far beyond your own vision? What a sight to behold.
Can you imagine GOD’S Spirit trapped inside your flesh, making you a tormented soul?
Imagine life was really eternal, and we never really got old?
Imagine yourself as nothing more than a ball of dirt, as the hand of GOD molds your eternal soul?
Imagine that…………….
The Tormented Soul, by Reese Kemp!”
(Jeremiah 15:10-21) Woe is me, my mother, that You have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet does every one of them curse me. The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with your remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to entreat you well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction. Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel? Your substance and your treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all thy borders. And I will make you to pass with thine enemies into a land which you do not know: for a fire is kindled in mine anger, which shall burn upon you. O LORD, you know: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered rebuke. Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD GOD of hosts. I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor did I rejoice with them; I sat alone because of your hand: for you have filled me with indignation. Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you be altogether unto me as a liar, and as waters that fail? Therefore thus says the LORD, If you return, then will I bring you again, and you shall stand before me: and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouthpiece: let them return unto you; but you do not return unto them. And I will make you unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD. And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
(Psalms 78:1-4) Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he has done.
