DON’T TAKE THAT TOKE
by Bill Kochman
12-05-2016
When people are really young,
Peers say smoking is so cool,
But so often many years later,
They see they played the fool.
When they lay dying of cancer,
They remember that first smoke,
And how they wish to dear God,
They had never taken that toke.
Dying of lung cancer isn’t easy,
Your body fills with great pain,
Morphine can only do so much,
It will almost drive you insane.

DON’T SCOOP THE POOP
by Bill Kochman
09-11-2019
Say, did you hear the latest scoop?
No need to worry, it’s all just poop.
The news shovels that crap all day,
Peddling whatever they want to say.
Sensationalism always beats out facts,
Just watch the wolves grind their axe.
There’s an agenda, it’s plain to see,
Beware! They’ll leave you in misery.
Make a profit, and increase the view,
It does not matter if it’s not true.
Raking their victims through the mud,
They’re not happy till they draw blood.
Champions of justice? No, I think not,
What they publish is so full of rot.
So if you read it, please sift it well,
Don’t let them get you under their spell.

DON’T GET WHAT WE DESERVE
by Bill Kochman
12-12-2016
You won’t understand God’s Mercy,
Till you see how evil Satan can be,
That fiend condemns us down to Hell,
While the Lord can set us all free.
You see, people really do deserve,
What the Devil would send our way,
And we would have to pay the price,
Except that Jesus saved the day.
So then, as dirty as we all may be,
Covered in the red of our own sin,
If we accept God’s Mercy thru Jesus,
Thru Heaven’s Gate He’ll let us in.

DON’T FLAUNT IT!
by Bill Kochman
05-22-2014
There was a man with an exhibitionist wife,
Who caused her poor hubby nothing but strife,
Barely clad she walked streets with danger rife,
Only to be met by the end of a rapist’s knife,
And thus that foolish woman lost her dear life.
The lesson in this poem is really quite clear,
Don’t you be like that vain gal, give an ear,
If you purposely dress to tempt and to flaunt,
That’s what some men will think you truly want,
Intended or not, you will inflame their desire,
They’ll mistake you for just a woman for hire,
And there may be no escape from such a fire,
Indeed your situation will soon be quite dire.

DON’T COMPLAIN
by Bill Kochman
01-06-2017
Now I may not know a lot,
But of one thing I am sure,
God loves His own Family,
So we’re never totally poor.
We may not always have a lot,
But our basic needs are met,
Using wisely what He gives,
We should stay out of debt.
If we let any greed step in,
Complain ’bout all He’s given,
He may choose to take away,
Then it won’t be easy livin’.

DON’T BE ASHAMED
by Bill Kochman
12-06-2016
We cannot be like Apostle Peter,
Who greatly feared for his life,
He denied knowing the Lord Jesus,
Conviction cut him like a knife.
Peter departed in haste weeping,
So depressed by what he had done,
But then Jesus later forgave him,
For sinless folks there are none.
If we are ashamed of our Savior,
The Gospel warns about our fate,
Jesus will say He doesn’t know us,
We may not make it in the Gate.

DOCTRINAL DEBATES II
by Bill Kochman
02-02-2018
Let me tell you that Satan is so smart,
He knew just how to get in our midst,
You see, some six thousand years ago,
God’s Word he began to wrest and twist.
Eve was that serpent’s very first victim,
But that gal was definitely not his last,
The Bible says during the First Century,
Killing false doctrines was a hard task.
Today the situation is even more tragic,
As brethren fight to prove they’re right,
So many have forgotten all about love,
But sly Satan, oh he stays out of sight.
He’s just so happy to see the division,
Because a divided Church is so weak,
Please take heed to this my warning,
Ask God to keep you humble and meek.
Yes, be persuaded in your own mind,
As we’re advised to do by Apostle Paul,
But regarding those doctrinal debates,
Be wise and don’t engage in them at all.

DOCTRINAL DEBATES
by Bill Kochman
08-28-2014
The Devil is having a heyday,
Throughout our Christian land,
Brother fights against brother,
Over their doctrinal stand.
Angry exchanges become rampant,
Pride and ego come to the fore,
Everyone wants to be so right,
Humility they just all ignore.
But I refuse to engage them,
It is just not my cup of tea,
Maybe someday they’ll realize,
It’s an exercise in futility.

DIVINE MERCIES
by Bill Kochman
12-20-2016
It is of the LORD’S mercies,
That we are not consumed,
It’s not due to our goodness,
If that is what you assumed.
Only because of dear Jesus,
Does God look the other way,
Our sins He just blots out,
We’re clean on Judgment Day.
So thank Him for compassion,
As unworthy as you may be,
And be merciful to others,
So God’s love they can see.

DIVIDED NATION
by Bill Kochman
06-22-2018
Oh just look at our country now,
It’s in such a terrible state,
The mass media has gone wild,
Liberals are filled with hate.
And as for freedom of speech,
It is seriously being abused.
I am filled with so much shock,
Each time I read the daily news.
I see no respect for our leaders,
Tongues that spew constant rage,
I find it all quite disgusting,
Why can’t people act their age?
Alas, in all of my many years,
It’s never been this bad before,
They’ve declared open warfare,
It so worries me to the core.
Now Jesus said it quite clearly,
We must all really understand,
If divided against ourselves,
Our nation simply cannot stand.

DISUNITY
by Bill Kochman
01-11-2017
If there is one thing we don’t have,
It is clearly spiritual unity today,
God’s Church has become so divided,
Folks went their own doctrinal way.
Many Christians remain convinced,
That their brand of faith is right,
And if you dare disagree with them,
They will challenge you with a fight.
There are now too many perspectives,
All those labels leave one confused,
But the shrewd author behind it all,
Must now laugh and be quite amused.

DISCOURAGEMENT
by Bill Kochman
05-07-2014
Beware of discouragement,
It is just the devil’s trap,
If you succumb to this ploy,
Your energy it will sap.
Just like a deep dark well,
Which seems to have no end,
Once you fall into this pit,
All hope it will surely rend.
Down and down you will go,
Chained by fear and despair,
All because you listened to,
That evil Prince of the Air.

DESPERATE MEASURES
by Bill Kochman
10-22-2020
It was coming down to the wire,
Trump called Joe Biden a liar.
Not wanting to waste more time,
He accused the Bidens of crime.
Even cocaine was now in the mix,
Could this problem Joe even fix?
Son Hunter had deals in Ukraine,
But pure ignorance Joe did feign.
Both sides are now slinging mud,
Who will be first to draw blood?
Yes, election time is now here,
When politicians grab your ear.
They will say whatever it takes,
To win this game of high stakes.
Only one man will take the crown,
But the other will be shot down.

DEPART FROM ME
by Bill Kochman
05-20-2018
There are now so many preachers,
Oh they’re preaching up a storm,
But many of the things they say,
Are way outside of God’s norm.
They claim to speak the truth,
Like other servants of the Light,
But if you just listen closely,
You know it is really not right.
They all talk a lot about money,
They knock folks to the ground,
They do all kinds of crazy stuff,
But it is not Biblically sound.
So much screaming and hollering
Jerking around like someone dead,
They listen to the wrong spirits,
They have all been sadly misled.
People go there for entertainment,
Their music will split your ears,
Churches with that nightclub vibe,
Must bring the Lord to full tears.
They have women strutting around,
With hardly a stitch of clothing on,
Everyone shouts and claps loudly,
And then they all sing a Gospel song.
Then there are abominable churches,
Where being gay or lesbian is okay,
But when God rebukes the deceivers,
They will have nothing left to say.
Many churches have become a circus,
Drawing crowds they are all about,
They think they are pleasing God,
But someday He will cast them out.

DEMON CIRCUS
by Bill Kochman
05-21-2018
Well I once went to my friend’s church,
They were twitching and jerking so odd,
But a preacher stood there and told me,
“Join in! This is a manifestation of God!”
My spirit told me something different,
It was creepy watching them in a trance,
They moaned and groaned then fell down,
But I refused to partake in their “dance”.
One broke out in uncontrollable laughter,
While a woman rolled around on the floor,
A man stomped his feet crying Hallelujah,
It was time for me to make it to the door.
Some say these things are of the Spirit,
But which spirit are they talking about?
Unless it all conforms to the Scriptures,
Friend, you really had better watch out!

DEFENSE ATTORNEY
by Bill Kochman
04-28-2018
How much do we believe in forgiveness,
It is a question we each need to ask,
Aren’t you tired of feeling condemned?
So then bring that old Devil to task.
We have all committed so many sins,
And done things of which we’re ashamed,
But you see sly Satan knows this too,
That’s how he tries to keep us framed.
He’s just like a prosecuting attorney,
He constantly throws things in our face,
So he’ll lie and attempt to deceive us,
Saying in God’s Kingdom we have no place.
All our sins are too great he will claim,
God cannot forgive such an one as us,
Don’t you dare listen to all of his lies,
Because he will throw you under the bus.
Yes, it’s true we’ve all missed the mark,
But God has certainly not left us alone,
That is why He sent His only Son Jesus,
Who for our sins was willing to atone.
Now in Heaven we have a Defense Attorney,
Our cause is pled before the great Judge,
So when that serpent comes to hound you,
There’s really no need for you to budge.
Just hold on tight to our Savior Jesus,
Claiming God’s forgiveness thru the Lamb,
And should Satan try to ever condemn you,
Well, just tell that wicked liar to scram.

DECEIVER
by Bill Kochman
04-07-2018
You say that you’re not deceived,
But I see it each time you speak,
Your doctrines are just not sound,
God’s Word you twist and tweak.
Clearly you preach another gospel,
Your understanding is out of range,
You promote just so much nonsense,
Which quite frankly I find strange.
God’s Word is our true foundation,
But you mix in so much other junk,
Then claim it is a new revelation,
But to me it’s really all just bunk.
You are a real danger to the Body,
Young sheep may fall into your trap,
Thus I am compelled to expose you,
I pray God will soon shut your yap.
Be gone now you wicked deceiver,
We have seen too many of your kind,
While you think you’re enlightened,
You’re really just so deaf and blind.

DEATH PERCEPTION
by Bill Kochman
01-02-2017
In this twisted world of ours,
There’s just so much deception,
One example is fame is used,
To warp our death perception.
Even though 1000s die each day,
We only hear about the few,
If you’re not amongst elite,
There won’t be a single clue.
Writers, singers, actors and such,
Always seem to make the grade,
But as for you, forget it man,
Few know where you’ve been laid.

DEATH COMES KNOCKING
by Bill Kochman
09-21-2019
I knew that death was calling,
But I was not ready to go,
I still had things left to do,
Though my age had made me slow.
Lord, please give me more time,
Let me make everything right,
I really want to be with You,
I am eager to take my flight.
Such thoughts may seem noble,
But please follow God’s Plan,
He gave you your allotted years,
Now travel to that Promised Land.

DARK MACHINATIONS
by Bill Kochman
09-22-2020
I got a text message from the other camp,
They were wondering how I was gonna vote,
But, well, I had a major problem with it,
They want to throw Trump out of the boat.
So I texted back and said “Absolutely not”,
I really don’t support what you represent,
You wreck the nation and fight against God,
No ma’am, all your positions I fully resent.
Yes, folks, undercover is the way they roll,
Doing stuff in the dark but not in the light,
Secretive text messages and voting by mail,
Is how they intend to win the election fight.
