Poem: Energy Drink
"Energy Drink"
A Spoken Word poem by Michael E. Peterson Jr.

No coffee for me
My sin be like an
Energy drink
It perks me up
But I hate the crash
breaks my faith dash
Cause I stumbled
But willingly
Willing to see
If willful sin
Would really win
Gods wrathful wind
But then again
This energy is
Filling me
And feeling me
As I fall in
A tall drink
Iniquity
Of sin
Once again and
I can't win
For losing
Eyes open
To darkness
My sin in me
Is an inner beast
Needs to be tamed
Cause the energy
I put into this
Is like red bull
It gives me wings
In my pipe dreams
Pipe line cutting
Off the lifeline
Lifetime living in
Decaying decadence
Need to be revived
These lies
My mind resurrects
Please kill these insides
Gold mines
Faith coming out like
Tests of old fire
Burn my lungs
Breathe in the fun
Only to gain none
Same song
Singing the same tune
This may Jun-o
But You Know
The truth
Like Ruth
I should be gleaning From the gracious grain
Laid by the slain
Lamb, a greater Boaz
Kinsmen redeemer
Come rescue like FEMA
From this hurricane
Trouble waves
Bye bye to the Way
Like Titanic stays
The trip was nice
Till my boat hit ice
Now we crashing
Like the cold can
Of Nos ran out
I need a fan
Its hot in here
Cause I don't fear
Who I need to see
Please cause the Lord
My Christ and yours
Needs to be formed in me
So I can bleed
Like He did for me
When it's time to cease
The labor of evil works
That energizes me
This inner G!
Mortifying the flesh
Relying upon His death
Forsaking all of the rest
So rested I pass the test
So tested I glorify Him
For glory I won't deny Him
I'm fighting like
Semper fi and
Armored up
For war inside!
