OLDER STUFF
The next three samples below were created entirely on their own using a program called "Acid Style." This program produces rather intense, repetitive music that we wouldn't allow for a steady diet for children but it's fun in moderation.

POEM: Simon of Cyrene By A.C. Wilson
He stumbles and tumbles there, in the mud, POEM: I Saw Him Bloodied, Twice By Amos Wilson (January 5, 2014)
I enter the grimy cave,
One can live for pleasure, but it fades;
If one seeks glories and fame
These fall soon after they are made.
"Does anything last?" Some ask.
Yes. Our souls will live forever.
When we die, they will live on
With God or under his anger.
The key to getting the first
Is in God's eternal writing
Jesus came to pay the price
With Him I live everlasting
First seconds then minutes and hours pass by.
Here I sit as time continues to climb,
I try to compose as the seconds fly.
A second is short; it has but one tick.
A minute is longer it has sixty.
An hour cant be said to be quite as quick,
Sixty minutes are in it I tell thee.
Four and twenty hours make for a good day.
Days make up months that in turn become years.
Ten years create a decade and they may
Make centuries as eternity nears.
And now as my pen strokes begin to cease,
I see I have created a masterpiece!

His faces is bruised and smeared with blood.
His cross lands hard across his back,
I wince to hear his bones thus crack.
A violent hand then seized my arm.
Come, black dog, or feel some harm,
Lift up that cross and bear a part!
Thus forced, I do, indignant, start.
But as I stoop, His eyes meet mine,
They’re filled with only love divine.
Oh, my beloved, please bear my tree,
So I might make on high the Three.
Behind me hide, in judgment’s lee,
For I will take it all for thee.
Aye, gladly, Lord, when you go home,
Ill bear your cross from here to Rome.
The stench assails my nose,
I lean upon my stave,
And move into the glow,
Held by the care-worn man,
Over that holy scene,
The maid, the babe, the feed-stand
Stood in the straw unclean.
Blood mixed and saturated,
With lambs-filth in the straw,
Held this Divine incarnated.
Here lay Love in raw.
His mother lay like steel,
A smile bright, but pale,
We there before Him kneel,
His father strong and hale
His father on this earth,
Lowers his light to peer,
At this, the childs birth,
And sheds a grateful tear.
We knew why He was there,
We know just who He was.
The angels in the air,
Had told it all to us.
Yet hidden in the back,
The sheep eat straw, oblivious.
Poor hosts with little tact,
Ignore this baby glorious.
Yet to His sheep would He,
Give His new life to feed.
Who were those sheep, were we?
Owned by the Bread that bleeds?
I saw Him bloodied, twice,
Last on a tree so rough.
This Bread of Life, the Christ,
Served in a feeding-trough.For Amos' latest poems, go to: sermonnotespoem.wordpress.com.
