Marilyn Poythress Poems

I was born in pride and passion, and Providence made it clear
That honor, faith and justice came, when I brought freedom here
Today I stand at hearing rooms; I walk down hallowed halls,
'Mid echoes of those patriots who answered freedom's call.
...

Can you place the stars in motion?
Can you form the oceans reef?
Can you turn the mountain forest green?
Oh soul, in Unbelief?
...

Now I'm alive for the first time, Before I was entombed..
Wrapped in earthly fetters, A sinner from the womb.
You opened up my blindness, You loosed my speechless tongue
You healed my heart of sorrow, My new life has begun!
...

The Best Poem Of Marilyn Poythress

I Am The Constitution

I was born in pride and passion, and Providence made it clear
That honor, faith and justice came, when I brought freedom here
Today I stand at hearing rooms; I walk down hallowed halls,
'Mid echoes of those patriots who answered freedom's call.
I witness every courtroom, I record each choice that's made
I count the yeas, I count the nays, as every vote's displayed
I measure every entry.. Amendments, Acts and Bills,
I see the motions on the floor, and actions on the hill
I bow my head in wonder at the founders standing there
Guided by that Governor that kept them in His care
I cry aloud, "Oh God Above! I'm Glorified in frames!
But America ignores my every rule, and my wisdom is profaned! "
I travel down the highways, and dusty country roads
Looking for those minutemen who once stood brave and bold
I see the blood that stained the soil of hidden fields of pain
I shout to all! "Posterity calls! The Constitution is My Name! "

They pervert my laws, promote their cause and never read my lines
They've chosen sides with worldwide guides and history's new designs!
They claim devotion daily, they open "In God's Name"
But Morning Star and Setting Sun find puppets seeking fame.
My Preamble seeks His Blessings, and establishes my restraints
My freedom's thrust is man must trust and set truth at the gate!
They cover His commandments, they ignore His golden rule
They remove the words "In God We Trust"...a people God calls fools!
Do they realize our enemy is that one unearthly foe?
We fought before, at Valley Forge, without shoes, in the snow?
We've a broken heart, a soul that's sold…to those who sought for gold...
Our blood cries from the city streets, "Bring Back America's Soul! "
Our legislatures abound in greed, absent "noblesse oblige"
They abandon home and family, and shred the American Dream
Our nation scoffs at those who want to "acknowledge right from wrong"
A country void of righteous choice, sans heart, san soul, sans song.

Our schools and churches acquiesce to fit the choice of few
They hide within the Government guides, and behind the corner pew
The State and County fold their rules, their sovereignty on hold
The Bankers rule, our assets pooled, our passion now grown cold
They designate as ‘poor, uneducated, easy to command'
Those with faith and trust in God, who dare to take a stand!
True Americans and Veterans, the guardians of our land
Are tagged as ‘dangerous terrorists' ! They are Patriots to a man!
Today at America's Portal stand new demagogues and creeds
Our Cornerstone's clear, but our conscience is seared of Founding Fathers deeds
Their lives, their fortunes, their honor were spoils no man could buy
Will you follow their acts, take America back or let the Constitution die?
