I will stare down into the bottomless pit
Till I see a reflection in it
The abyss never lies
Only deceives the weak, the blind
...
Alone in the dark, in darkness and doubt,
The mind is a maze, no good thought can sprout
Deep down below in the blackest of holes,
Your sins drag you to hell; the weight on your souls
...
Of all the poets in the west
He is the best, he is the best
His name is Kelly Kurt
Not one soul would he hurt
...
Sun sets it is dim of light
No enemy in sight
Battle over end of fight
They cry for death every night
...
Has someone told you how difficult it is?
To tame the beast within
He growls, he howls, he lynches, he mauls,
He does all he can to taint you with sin
...
A girl walking in the moonlit night
Was interrupted by howling fright
A man so smitten
As if wolf bitten
...
Politicians do make their name
All along playing a dirty game
They have no real guts
Are actually nuts
...
I have lived and I have died
A thousand maybe more times
Every life that I have lived
I have been inspired to write
...
There was once a fat, ugly, wife beater
He was also a drunk and a cheater
His chair a hot iron rod
Made by the will of God
...
Better to be alone than in bad company
Said the wise man to me
The sultan of saints broke his silence
When strengthened seven times in speech by O Lord thee
...
A giant once didn't care for his soul
Sins he would commit eat humans whole
Sometimes would get a fit
Everyone he would hit
...
Blessings upon you O child
Your tender hands, feet and smile
The day you were born,
The Sun, moon and earth cried
...
A Politician is like a freak
Does not let the common man speak
He shouts out so loud
Like a rain-less cloud
...
Alone in this world
Lost in a sea of time
The destinations mocking me,
Where are they taking me
...
Life's highest goal,
To emancipate the soul
In the beloved's home, I long to be
To make the heart see,
...
When I hurt you I hurt myself
When I touch you I melt
When I love you, I find myself
If I have broken you, I will mend
...
'Slay the dragon, slay the beast',
Said the princess at the feast
All the princes and knights had come,
To win the princess and her kingdom
...
Destiny has taken away your brightest star
No words of solace can heal this scar
Such nobility and gentleness in his face
Blessed are those who stood in the shadow of his grace
...
Bottomless Pit
I will stare down into the bottomless pit
Till I see a reflection in it
The abyss never lies
Only deceives the weak, the blind
When the body falls, the soul flies
The mind never dies, but rest it will find
Have I ever helped someone in desperate need?
Was it truly for them or my own greed
Have I ever really sown a good deed to reap in the end
Have I dug my own grave to sleep in the end?

I love Blessings Upon You O Child. You describe perfectly the jubilation a family feels as their lineage extends. There is humor there too in the competitiveness we feel as each family member tries to take a little credit for guessing right or for sharing a common trait with the new one. I felt like I was part of that blessed event.
