POPULATION CONTROL

by Bill Kochman

09-06-2024

Now, if young men only marry men,
And if all women just marry women,
Plus if we all practice birth control,
It’s useless for any sperm swimmin’.

This amounts to population control,
Indeed, all across this entire nation,
You have destroyed the whole point,
Of each woman having an ovulation.

I hope you know what you’ve done,
It’s slow genocide on a national level,
Can you not see how stupid this is,
Quite frankly, it is really of the Devil.

Surely it seems like an evil scheme,
Devised by the sly people in control,
For if we see it as just our own idea,
Then we’ve played our assigned role.

Just like cattle that we keep in a pen,
It works to regulate our total number,
And thus by agreeing to these things,
We really could not be much dumber.

JUST ONE MORE POUND

by Bill Kochman

09-06-2024

I have got a serious question,
Have you ever seen an old bag?
It is something you won’t forget,
Man, how those old people sag.

They will just sag in the middle,
And they will just sag at the top,
I fear that just one more pound,
And those ole folks gonna drop.

Oh yeah, eating piles of candy,
‘N guzzling down cans of beer,
Tell me is it really any wonder,
Tires drop down to their rear?

To watch them is just amazing,
I swear it’s one cold, hard fact,
The way those folks walk about,
Is a very careful balancing act.

Now, I’m not trying to be mean,
You see, I am not exactly trim,
In fact, I’m kinda actually hopin’,
My tires gonna help me to swim.

TRAPPED IN THE GRID

by Bill Kochman

09-06-2024

Now going back almost fifty years or so,
Karl said to never leave home without it,
As we fast forward to this present time,
We see few people ever seem to doubt it.

But it is no longer those traveler cheques,
You see, now it is something totally new,
If for some reason you forget this thing,
It could really leave you in a major stew.

It’s a device to be connected all the time,
Whether you eat, sleep, or are at work,
Many folks have their face so deep in it,
I worry without it they might go berserk.

But I must warn you of the sinister side,
Because you really have a right to know,
Buried deep within that device you love,
GPS let’s them know everywhere you go.

Indeed, it’s true that because of that tech,
They could know everything that you did,
After all, you are merely a pawn to them,
Who they track on the global Matrix grid.

Oh, how indeed it was such a clever plan,
To create a device that’s in high demand
Now our actions are so closely watched,
Their surveillance is clearly out of hand.

If we were to suddenly stop using them,
Imagine the chaos which would ensue,
People are so dependent on them now,
I dread they would not know what to do.

And thus we go about our daily affairs,
With our cell phones probably nearby,
Knowing full well there is an eye on us,
Yet we rarely stop & ever question why.

THE PERFECT CHURCH? — a poem and song by Bill Kochman



#Poetry #Poem

THE PERFECT CHURCH?

by Bill Kochman

09-06-2024

How he got worked up in the flesh,
That guy was really quite a clown,
Their entire congregation agreed,
He was the coolest pastor in town.

On weekends he’d bring in a band,
To play those church folks a tune,
Their singer was quite handsome,
Oh how the women would swoon.

The church held lovely bake sales,
Everybody came by to get a treat,
The event was a fine social affair,
Where the townsfolk would meet.

The children all sang in the choir,
No sweeter sound one could hear,
Those proud parents sang along,
As the kids smiled from ear to ear.

It seemed like a wonderful church,
Absolutely anyone was allowed in,
Even tho behind the public curtain,
Their lives were full of terrible sin.

Alas, adultery was quite rampant,
Certain members were into LGBT,
Drunks were beating their wives,
Ugly things no one wanted to see.

Passing for some perfect picture,
On the surface you could not tell,
That despite such an appearance,
Many people were bound for Hell.

The problem was really the pastor,
He wanted to be such a swell guy,
So instead of preaching the truth,
He’d always tell those people a lie.

My friends, you’re all doing so fine,
He never dared to mention any sin,
No, give them a feel-good religion,
So their hearts he could surely win.

Such are so many churches today,
Compromise has filled their pews,
Music, cakes and other nonsense,
But so few sharing the good news.

Spiritual circuses so full of clowns,
Strange manifestations and more,
If you ever encounter such a place,
I urge you to run straight for a door.

MAGNIFICENT WORLD — a poem and song by Bill Kochman

MAGNIFICENT WORLD

by Bill Kochman

09-05-2024

Just imagine the magnificent beauty,
When the Lord first created the Earth,
It was indeed such a wonderful sight,
All of God’s sons were filled with mirth.

Yes, it was so virgin, pure and verdant,
No, never touched by any human hand,
How I would have surely and truly loved,
To have lived in that very pleasant land.

Now of course in our own present time,
Some places still take our breath away,
Yet I must wonder if it can ever compare,
To the world born on that very first day.

No doubt Adam and Eve had to marvel,
As they took in such an awesome view,
Honestly, if you had been in their place,
Wouldn’t you have likewise done it too?

Yet today just look at what we are doing,
To this precious gift given from above,
We strip & pollute it with so many things,
And don’t treat it with kindness and love.

Poor stewards we have all certainly been,
We do not respect what our Father gave,
So there needs to be a great awakening,
For it’s past time that we begin to behave.

RIGHT WHERE THEY WANT YOU

by Bill Kochman

09-04-2024

They have got you right where they want you,
Under their thumb is exactly where you are,
They made your life just so totally impossible,
That you were not able to even get very far.

Oh, yes, they applied their financial screws,
So it was either buy food or pay that last bill,
Now there is simply no breathing space left,
Your whole life is just one big struggle uphill.

Indeed, they were so very sneaky about this,
As they gradually took all your support away,
But you see now you are dependent on them,
And must do exactly what the schemers say.

Because if you should ever try to defy them,
They’re the ones who are holding a full hand,
Meanwhile they’ve made you so vulnerable,
So now, do you finally see and understand?

They gave you many wonderful programs,
That were supposedly to ease all your pain,
But the actual truth of this devious matter,
Is that it was just for their own political gain.

WELCOME TO THE MATRIX

by Bill Kochman

09-04-2024

Now, I am not for MAGA,
And I am not for Trump,
Forget about Ms. Harris,
She’s a fire in the dump.

I’m not for the elephant,
And I’m not for the mule,
Forget both the parties,
They play you for a fool.

Controlled opposition,
Is the name of the game,
Yes, there are two sides,
But the coin is the same.

They like to let you think,
That you have a voice,
Yet come election time,
There isn’t a real choice.

They’ve already decided,
Who will take the prize,
But they hide this truth,
Behind their wall of lies.

Welcome to the Matrix,
We’re glad you are here,
We control everything,
There is no need to fear,

Just follow all the rules,
Do not cause any heat,
And soon you’ll realize,
Life here is really sweet.

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Whosoever hath sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book. Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them. And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.”
Exodus 32:33-35, KJV

“Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.”
Jeremiah 23:2, KJV

“For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Let not your prophets and your diviners, that be in the midst of you, deceive you, neither hearken to your dreams which ye cause to be dreamed. For they prophesy falsely unto you in my name: I have not sent them, saith the LORD.

Jeremiah 50:31-32, KJV

“And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand. I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.”

BLACK HEART — a poem and song by Bill Kochman



#Poetry #Poem

BLACK HEART

by Bill Kochman

09-02-2024

Oh you have such a black heart,
It is so plain to see in your eyes,
You’re filled with much darkness,
You believed that old Devil’s lies.

Although I’ve tried to reach you,
Your pride just gets in your way,
You laugh at all my preaching,
And refuse to hear a word I say.

So convinced you know better,
You simply scoff at God’s Book,
When I try to show you verses,
You resist taking a single look.

You think my beliefs are funny,
You’re persuaded I’m not smart,
But someday you will face God,
And He will order you to depart.

Only then will it finally hit you,
What an utter fool you’ve been,
And despite your desperate cry,
The angels just won’t let you in.

Yes, away they’ll then take you,
To a place you don’t want to go,
You will be consumed by the fire,
For a truth you refused to know.

Oh, indeed this is such a sad tale,
It happens many times each day,
Folks so hardened in their hearts,
They fully reject God’s holy way.

Let my poem serve as a warning,
Don’t resist when given a chance,
When you hear talk about Jesus,
Don’t dare take a foolish stance.

Believe the word that is spoken,
Be humble and accept the Lord,
Because there’s two destinations,
And one you really can’t afford.

NEVER ALONE — a poem and song by Bill Kochman

NEVER ALONE

by Bill Kochman

09-02-2024

Oh you sweet dear foolish child,
Did you think He does not care?
As you were feeling terribly lost,
Did you think He was not there?

As problems tumbled about you,
And quickly closed in the night,
Though you were encompassed,
Yet still you possessed His light.

But sometimes God draws away,
To a distance and yet not too far,
Even though you can’t sense Him,
He knows exactly where you are.

Now this feeling is not so foreign,
Even Jesus must’ve felt the same,
As He hung on that Roman cross,
For all of our sins He took blame.

God, why have you forsaken me?
Those nearby heard Him cry out,
Even tho God was still with Him,
Of this there should be no doubt.

So even though you may wonder,
And to doubts you may be prone,
Just always remember dear one,
God never truly leaves you alone.

LONELINESS — a poem and song by Bill Kochman



#Poetry #Poem

LONELINESS

by Bill Kochman

09-02-2024

Many of us have at different times,
Known the sad mistress loneliness,
One of her jobs which she does well,
Is to absolutely steal our happiness.

How we fall into such a dismal state,
Just happens for so many a reason,
But one thing which we surely know,
Is that it is never a pleasant season.

We stop and think how many people,
Have a spouse, family, friends or pets,
But as for us we’ve got none of these,
And it can fill our hearts with regrets.

Perhaps we made a mistake before,
That led to our current sad situation.
Oh, yes, we are feeling so miserable,
There’s just no time for any jubilation.

But rather than place our eyes on us,
We require a different kind of solution,
It might begin with a very simple step,
That is, to offer ourselves absolution.

Now if we made some personal error,
We cannot remain trapped in the past,
For if we stay and don’t move forward,
This loneliness is guaranteed to last.

So lift your eyes up towards the Lord,
You really need to stop looking down,
Because if you do, I know for certain,
You will no longer be wearing a frown.

Now instead of thinking about yourself,
Find somebody else who has a need,
Then do your best to help them out,
And they will become a friend indeed.

Just like that your loneliness is gone,
A new friendship has now taken root,
As you can see it was not really hard,
To give that old mistress a final boot.

CONSTANT COMPANION — a poem and song by Bill Kochman



#Poetry #Poem

CONSTANT COMPANION

by Bill Kochman

09-02-2024

Throughout the Bible’s long history,
Alone holy Prophets seemed to be,
Yet they had a constant companion,
Which the world simply couldn’t see.

Wandering over mountains and hills,
Preaching in cities against deep sin,
They’d often encounter the darkness,
Yet God’s light burned bright within.

They were known as solitary figures,
Sometimes there was a need to hide,
Though people turned against them,
The Lord remained a continual guide.

Well today it really is not so different,
For God’s folks who spread the Word,
Even if you’ve never really met them,
Their message you have surely heard.

Often they work alone in their rooms,
Writing out a truth God has revealed,
Beyond the loud noises of this world,
By God’s Spirit they’ve been sealed.

So if you count yourself among them,
May God bless you in all that you do,
If you remain faithful for all your days,
He’ll reward you when your life is thru.

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE! — a poem and song by Bill Kochman



#Poetry #Poem

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE

by Bill Kochman

09-01-2024

The judgments of the Lord are just.
Although sinful men may not agree,
Because He’s such a merciful Father,
He holds back His hand so patiently.

Even tho we become very rebellious,
God gives us so much time to repent,
But if we refuse to learn our lessons,
Then eventually judgment will be sent.

Oh yes how we’ll groan and howl then,
As blessings are switched for a curse,
If we refuse to wake up by that time,
Our situation may still get even worse.

Yet how much easier it would’ve been,
If we’d been humble & bent the knee,
But foolish pride just would not let us,
And so we kept sinning so stubbornly.

Well, the great God finally determined,
That only wrath would turn us around,
That is why we now sit here suffering,
Our nation to ashes has been ground.

THE DAY GOD’S WRATH FELL

by Bill Kochman

09-01-2024

Surely we cannot say that we didn’t know,
His messengers many warnings had given,
But we were so drunk on that wicked spirit,
And so to greater sin we were simply driven.

Across the country like a rampant disease,
Our foolish rebellion just so rapidly spread,
Oh how we danced so wildly in city streets,
Not once did we really stop to think ahead.

But then the sands of time suddenly ran out,
And a wrathful God said we had gone too far,
So just like that His judgments began to fall,
And now in tribulation is where we sadly are.

The sound of mirth is now quiet everywhere,
And only weeping and terrible sadness reign,
While even tho we try to console each other,
There’s just no ridding ourselves of this pain.

Rebellious children stricken by an angry God,
Even our desperate prayers He will not hear,
But now we understand that it’s our own fault,
Because we did not give His prophets an ear.

A WORD FOR YOU!

by Bill Kochman

08-31-2024

I wanted to write something personal,
Yes, my friend, it is meant just for you,
Just a small word of encouragement,
God knows what you’re going through.

While sometimes things seem so dark,
You really don’t have anything to fear,
For God remains in absolute control,
Just wait & He will dry your every tear.

Please hold on fast despite the waves,
And the winds which buffet your faith,
Don’t mind the thunder and lightening,
The Lord will lead you to a harbor safe.

Then all the trials you’re going through,
Will suddenly seem so extremely small,
And as you laugh you will come to see,
You really had no reason to worry at all.

JESUS IS SUBSERVIENT TO GOD THE FATHER — KJV (King James Version) Bible Verse List



#Scriptures #BibleStudy #BibleVerses #JesusIsSubservientToGod #ChristIsSubservientToGod #JesusServesTheFather

Contrary to the popular Roman Catholic trinity doctrine which erroneously claims that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are “co-equal”, the Bible actually teaches that Jesus was, and still remains, subservient to His Father. Furthermore, the Scriptures plainly teach us that God the Father is greater than all, and above all. This obviously means that the Father is also greater than Jesus, as Jesus Himself declared. Jesus NEVER claimed to be God. This is a modern misunderstanding of certain verses.

“One God and Father of all, WHO IS ABOVE ALL, and through all, and in you all.”
Ephesians 4:6, KJV

“My Father, which gave them me, is GREATER THAN ALL; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.”
John 10:29, KJV

“Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for MY FATHER IS GREATER THAN I.”
John 14:28, KJV

“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; AND THE HEAD OF CHRIST IS GOD.”
1 Corinthians 11:3, KJV

“Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; AND TO MY GOD, and your God.”
John 20:17, KJV

“Then cometh the end, when he [Jesus] shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he [Jesus] shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he [Jesus] must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he [God the Father] is excepted, which did put all things under him [under Jesus]. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, [unto Jesus] then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him [unto God the Father] that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.”
1 Corinthians 15:24-28, KJV

“Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared; Though he were a Son, YET LEARNED HE OBEDIENCE by the things which he suffered;”
Hebrews 5:7-8, KJV

“And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless NOT MY WILL, BUT THINE, BE DONE.”
Luke 22:41-42, KJV

“I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I SEEK NOT MINE OWN WILL, BUT THE WILL OF THE FATHER WHICH HATH SENT ME.”
John 5:30, KJV

INEVITABLE EVENTUALITY? — a poem and song by Bill Kochman



#Poetry #Poem

INEVITABLE EVENTUALITY?

by Bill Kochman

08-30-2024

Now there’s one thing for certain,
Which the Bible makes very clear,
That the time eventually arrives,
When the wicked grab God’s ear.

The Lord is indeed very merciful,
He gives us lots of time to repent,
But if we remain in our defiance,
Eventually judgment will be sent.

The holy Scriptures give us proof,
That such always is the final tale,
The book of Psalms so warns us,
Wicked shall be turned into hell.

In the days of a man called Noah,
Great evil covered all of the Earth,
So God looked down from Heaven,
And pondered humanity’s worth.

Man’s wickedness was so terrible,
That God regretted all He’d made,
Thus while it pained Him greatly,
A heavy price just had to be paid.

And so the Flood waters did come,
To destroy everything with breath,
Just as God had first brought life,
Now He was delivering only death.

Throughout Old Testament years,
The Israelites were a rebellious lot,
And so time after time repeatedly,
God’s Word reveals what they got.

They were invaded and enslaved,
Famine & disease struck the land,
The Lord was so angry with them,
Thus they felt His righteous hand.

Well, Apostle Paul wisely tells us,
Such events were for admonition,
So if people today are truly smart,
We’ll examine our own condition.

Have we likewise majorly strayed,
From the Lord’s divine instruction,
And can we possibly even now be,
Facing our very own destruction?

Have we foolishly strayed too far,
Has God already closed His eyes,
Or does there remain a little time,
Where He may still hear our cries?

TRUTH SILENCERS — a poem and song by Bill Kochman



#Poetry #Poem

TRUTH SILENCERS

by Bill Kochman

08-29-2024

Trying to silence God’s truth,
Is a tactic indeed so very old,
Jeremiah was cast into a pit,
In the Holy Bible we are told.

The Baptist was beheaded,
For exposing Herod the king,
He married his brother’s wife,
Which was an unlawful thing.

Jesus himself was crucified,
By Jews who rejected truth,
For whenever Jesus spoke,
They went through the roof.

Likewise in the Book of Acts,
Pharisees still act the same,
They warned all the Apostles,
Don’t speak in Jesus’ name!

The life of our brother James,
Was also sadly cut so short,
By the sword Herod ordered,
James’ head he so did abort.

Yes, throughout our history,
Truth silencers were at work,
Crazy Nero killed Christians,
The emperor was so berserk.

Domitian too was a murderer,
Many brethren knew his hate,
With the second persecution,
They all met one terrible fate.

But then a few centuries later,
The Catholics came to power,
Thus for many true Believers,
It was indeed so dark an hour.

Then over yonder in England,
Bloody Mary vented her wrath,
Tyndale and other Reformers,
Were victims of her bloodbath.

There are so many other tales,
Of how the truth is shot down,
But as for all of those martyrs,
They wear an eternal crown.

Today the sad story continues,
In China, Arab nations & more,
God’s voice they try to silence,
Slamming shut the Gospel door.

Yes, even in the online world,
The silencers lurk everywhere,
Just dare challenge their lies,
And oh, you had better beware!

Shadow bans, jail and removal,
All parts of their chest of tools,
But God keeps a careful record,
Someday He’ll repay the fools.

So despite how they treat you,
Don’t be afraid, lift your sword,
For one day if you stay faithful,
“Well done!” will say the Lord.

DATE SETTERS

by Bill Kochman

08-28-2024

They assured us Jesus is coming,
I waited patiently for many years,
Alas, finally the great day arrived,
But my sad face is awash in tears.

I believed with much anticipation,
Yet no signs appeared in the sky,
Just clouds, stars and moon glow,
Thus now I am asking myself why.

The answer is really quite simple,
Such date setters are never right,
They claim they had a revelation,
But it wasn’t God’s heavenly light.

Such thots are often born of pride,
And a desire to be someone great,
Oh, yes, a wonderful holy prophet,
But they took that old Devil’s bait.

It is better to serve with humility,
Than try to establish one’s name,
For if you should prophesy falsely,
You will surely be left with shame.

But even much more importantly,
Is the faith you may even destroy,
So you better get right with God,
Remember His gifts are not a toy.
