[hometext] => Hats off to you Jacob
[bodytext] => Preacher Jake, he’s got two solid pockets He puts his coins in there from the charity basket Yeah, he took them from the charity bowl To place inside a casket Preacher Jake, he has an eye patch on It blocks off his left side from sight It makes it so he can always be just a little closed off And so when proven wrong half of him is right Preacher Jake, his children are beat up at school They’ve got black and blues, you know, they’re treated rough But I suppose in a kingdom full of elephants You’ve got to be some kind of tough Preacher Jake, every day he goes to the market place He hands out flyers to teach folks what it’s all about But they just get ticked and mutter to each other “How dare he make us throw his trash out”! Preacher Jake, his wife is a mannequin made of bread and wine She always has a smile on her face She’s always puttering around with her horse blinds And red, white and bluing all over the place Preacher Jake, he holds mass every day of the week The people come down in their sweaters of wool He preaches to the choir, the choir is in the seats As they stare into the mirror of each other and can’t point out the fool Preacher Jake, he’s a tool, just a pawn, just a cause As he says that he stands for the one who was selfless in dying But with all this faith collected of murderous overtones It’s hard preaching love while your busy crucifying [comments] => 4 [counter] => 720 [topic] => 12 [informant] => Franciswolf [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => CongratulatoryPoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
