The poetry you will find on the Bill’s Bible Basics website is NOT typical poetry. It is sharp, laser-focused, and depending on the subject matter, it’s uncomfortable. While much of it is Christian in nature, there are also hundreds of poems which deal with government corruption, biased mainstream media, discriminatory social networks, compromised Christianity and more. So before you decide that poetry is just not your thing, please check us out at the URL below. Who knows. You just might discover that you like poetry after all! Oh, and BTW, it’s free to share!

In a situation that may grow rather adverse,
Some folks get frustrated while others curse.
But rather than yell with so many words terse,
By far it is better in God’s Word to immerse.
Forget nasty rants and just let them disperse,
Don’t dare say anything that may be perverse.
Speak something nice, quote the Devil a verse.
Control your temper, or you’ll only grow worse.
For should you keep it up you’ll need a nurse,
But what if your condition she cannot reverse?
Before long you could end up in some hearse,
Then your dead body they’ll have to submerse.
Some like milk, while others like meat,
Bless my soul, God’s Word can’t be beat.
If you are dirty, it will clean you up,
If you are thirsty, it will fill your cup.
If you are down, it will cheer your soul,
If you are sick, it will make you whole.
If you are lonely, it will heal your heart,
It will save you too, if you do your part.
Yes, God’s amazing Word is just that great,
So serve some soon on your spiritual plate.
He invites you if you’re willing and able,
To sit down and feast at His great table.
This two-part article emphasizes the importance of being grounded in God’s Word, as well as the fact that Christians are engaged in a very real spiritual battle for the salvation of the world.
