Performed Poetry at the Kingdom Economic Yearly Summit in Los Angeles

The past few days I had the opportunity to volunteer at the K.E.Y.S. (Kingdom Economic Yearly Summit) conference at the Marriott LAX. One day I did camera, one day I MC'd and another day I just came to receive. On the day I MC'd I was asked to read a poem between the transition from speaker to speaker.

Since this summit focuses on business, money, the market place, being a good steward of our finances, I chose poems on these topics.

Here are some excerpts from a couple of the poems I read.



Excerpt from "The Love Of Money"

...I am not happy about this over-consumption thing;
Since Visa came into your life; I’m no longer King.
Time spent away from your Master is really getting hard;
You do not serve Me, like you serve your MasterCard.

Your lust for much more is the culprit, you guess;
You no longer save, just whip out American Express!
It’s all in My Word, did you read it from cover to cover?
Maybe you should have bought the Bible with your Discover....




Excerpt from "Try Me Now"

I have raised my level
Of expectation;
Because Jesus gave me
The invitation.
He said to “Try Me now
See if I am good;”
So I never have need
Of knocking on wood!

A blessing You’ll pour out,
That I can’t contain;
And that I will not need
Wall Street to sustain.
Many others I’ll bless
Because I am blessed;
When I do, I always
Have more manifest....



Excerpt from "Talk To The One In The Mirror"

...The reason I have what I have and the life I now live
Is because of my past seeds and what I’d chosen to give
I determine my future, there is no one else to blame;
The number one destroyer is my tongue I need to tame....



Excerpt from "Keep Up With Jesus Not The Jones'"

...Don’t compare yourself to your neighbor, and lust after more stuff;
Give your blessings away to those who have it even more rough.
You are spending kingdom finances playing this one-up game
Of who’s got more and better of what?! It is clearly insane.

Keep up with Jesus not the Jones', stop committing this sin;
End the competition now, go tell your neighbor that they win.
Start using finances for things that will eternally count;
Then watch Me multiply your heavenly and earthly account.
