Blue toilet water

Blue toilet water you found me!

Blue toilet water, not what you appear to be.

Blue toilet water I denounce your claim as an unsullied sea!

Blue toilet water, you have no real victory.

Blue toilet water you almost fooled me!

Love

Love is a passionate thing,
 it is a peace of your body that makes your heart sing,
 in that there is no lieing or cheating,
 but rules you have to follow to keep that certain person trusting,
 love is a bond between two people,
 when they come together it makes one equal,
 love is a special feeling you have inside you heart,
 so when you see that person again you get chills up and down your arm,
 love is a weird feeling,
 i have to admit but when you have it,
 you feel like nothing exist,
 love is caring about a person,
 without any expectations of their questions,
 love is listening to every word they have to say,
 or just ask how was their day,
 love is a powerful spiritual way,
 of letting that person know that you love them everyday,
 it is also helping that person to meet their goals,
 but if you dont help them,
 you are digging yourself a hole,
 love is the building block in life,
 from their you have to be in sight,
 trusting,caring,believing, in what you see,
 if you love that certain person,
 then you need to just let it be,
 love is what you like about a person inside,
 the color of their hair,
 or the color of their eyes,
 it may even be of what they like
love is physically and mentally struck,
 upon that person you must be alert,
 love is spending quality time,
 but also trying to find out what is inside,
 knowing everything about that person,
so that you can be with them for the rest of eternity,
 love is catching a person when they fall,
so that they dont hit the ground to hard,
 caring, trusting, knowing,thinking,liking, spending time, with that certain person,
 and nobody else but you can touch it!

What I’m about to tell you,

You may point and judge,

But that’s not going to change my thoughts and they won’t budge,

See people these days think to narrow,

If like they were trying to shoot a dime with an arrow,

I never question God,

But I always question man,

There is a lot of stuff in the Bible…. I do not understand,

But I’m continuing to learn from what’s dealt in my hands,

What I’m about to talk about is a lonely place to stand,

Man wrote the Bible,

What if he made a mistake?

While interpreting the language,

What if he wasn’t awake?

What if all the history we are learning is leading us astray?

The Bible does not contain all the original scrolls still to this day,

If we don’t have all the information,

How do we know which variables to weigh?

Which leads me to my next question about being Saved,

If you accept Christ into your heart,

How do you know you will reach the Pearl of Gates?

See here is the problem where I can’t see straight,

Every time I ask this question,

People tell me to have faith,

Well see,

I’m a proof type of guy,

I know that two plus two doesn’t equal five,

I can only go by what is seen by my eyes,

I know if you leave fruit in the sun,

It will dry,

I know God exists,

He doesn’t have to hide,

God was with me when I broke my spine,

He kept that door closed,

I attempted to open it with everything I tried,

But the good Lord himself kept me from being paralyzed,

I’m not saying God doesn’t exist,

I’m saying how do you know what man wrote is really legit,

I know God is here,

There is proof that fits,

You, yourself ask these questions on what to do,

I know God wants me to look at it this way,

Until I have all the facts and then I’ll choose,

I’m not trying to press my opinion on you,

I’m just giving you a different point of view.

War

Is love the war to end all wars?
Or is war the love to cause all wars?
There is plenty of bloodshead,
and alot of people dead,
Is it conflict for what is right,
Or is it things done in man’s sight?
Life is too precious
Even to be lost in the name justice,
we must pray for peace.
And God bless the deceased
there are so many questions
and not enough answers.
Violence is not the right choice,
becuase most people do not live
to make another choice.
War.

Six Word Stories

They sold truth to buy happiness.

Deafened by the silence, he folded.

They buried the crown with him.

-All three stories written by CACC student, Chris Coger.
