Michael P. Johnson Poems

As towns flourish and teem with life
Of all colours and creeds
In one of them lived with his wife
A doctor, with certain needs
...

Can anybody hear me?
Does anybody care?
Will anybody help me see?
If God is truly there
...

The cunning devil’s fighting well
Flooding the earth with lies
Leading the masses into hell
Clouding gullible eyes
...

A PLACE PREPARED (1)
Long now has gone the meeting tent Ex.40: 2
God's house adored with pride Mk.13: 1
When Jesus died, the curtain rent Ex.26: 33
...

Object, reject Jesus inside
Agree, with what fools tell
Why commit suicide
Always to burn in hell
...

Revealing shadows of the night
Dispersing doubtful haze
When Jesus comes Salvation’s Light
Brings faith that will amaze
...

We’ve all considered in our time
We’ve questioned why and how?
Did we evolve from common slime?
And where does man go now?
...

It starts with just a coin at stake
Till lust has gained its height
How vast great hoards we’d love to make
When gambling demons bite
...

Carry me through Lord carry me through
Fill me with Your promised Dew
Allow Your Flame burn deep within
Purge this child of every sin
...

To thrive! I’d cheat, deceive and lie
I’d comb the world debris
For self I’d seek to multiply
Whilst Jesus Christ loved me
...
