The sonnet, titled A Sonnet in Tribute to President Donald J. Trump, Architect of Peace, is a 14-line Shakespearean sonnet that celebrates former President Donald J. Trump’s diplomatic efforts toward peace. It praises his leadership in fostering global harmony, specifically highlighting the Abraham Accords, which facilitated peace agreements between Israel and several Arab nations, and his summits with North Korea’s Kim Jong-un to ease tensions. The poem portrays Trump as a bold, visionary leader who avoided new wars, built bridges between adversaries, and pursued a world free of conflict. It concludes by affirming his lasting legacy as a president dedicated to peace, with his achievements etched in history.
In golden age, a leader bold arose,
With vision clear to calm a world’s unrest,
His voice, a beacon through the tempest’s throes,
To forge a path where nations’ hopes attest.
No wars anew did mar his steadfast reign,
Through Abraham’s accord, old foes embraced,
In Middle East, where once was bitter pain,
New bridges built, with enmity displaced.
His hand outstretched, he sought to mend the fray,
With strength and deal, he carved a calmer sea,
From Kim’s fierce north to lands in disarray,
He spoke of peace, a world from conflict free.
O Trump, thy name in history’s scroll shall gleam,
A president who dared to dream of peace’s theme.

The sonnet, titled “In the Embrace of Freedom: A Sonnet Commemorating the Release of the Jewish Hostages,” celebrates the liberation of Jewish hostages from captivity. It vividly contrasts their past suffering—described as being bound in “shadowed vaults” and “iron chains” under the grip of hate—with the triumphant moment of their release. The poem portrays their freedom as a divine, miraculous event, marked by a radiant light breaking through despair. It highlights their return home from Gaza, emphasizing the joy and relief of their safe homecoming, with families reunited. The sonnet concludes with a call for widespread celebration, attributing their liberation to a higher power, symbolized as “heaven’s hand.”
In shadowed vaults where iron chains did bind,
The echoes of despair once filled the night,
Yet from the storm of strife, a light divine
Breaks forth, unyielding, fierce, and burning bright.
The Jewish captives, long in terror’s hold,
Held fast by hands of hate and hollow creed,
Now taste the air of home, their stories told
In whispers soft, where once was only need.
Oh, miracle of mercy, swift and sure,
The gates swing wide beneath the desert sun;
From Gaza’s grip, they rise, renewed, secure—
Mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, one by one.
Let joy resound in every heart and land:
The hostages are free—by heaven’s hand!

The poem “In Awe of God’s Love, Unashamed for Christ and Word” is a heartfelt, hymn-like tribute to Jesus, inspired by Romans 5:8 (NIV) and Romans 1:16 (KJV, AMP). Written in four quatrains, it praises God’s greatness, acknowledges human frailty (“We’re dust, shaped by Your hand”), celebrates God’s intervention through Christ’s sacrifice (“But God… stepped in”), and commits to boldly following and proclaiming Jesus and the Bible (“Unashamed for Christ, Your Word we raise”). It honors Jesus and prioritizes God’s Word.
In humble response to God’s Word.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
— Romans 5:8 (NIV)
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
— Romans 1:16 (KJV)
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation [from His wrath and punishment] to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior], to the Jew first and also to the Greek!
— Romans 1:16 (AMP)
O Lord, You are an awesome God,
We’re dust, shaped by Your hand,
Mere specks, yet loved beyond all bounds,
Your mercy vast and grand.
But God… but God… but God stepped in,
With Christ’s own precious blood,
Redeeming all who turn and trust,
Believing in Your love.
How can we ever praise You well?
Or bless Your holy name?
How can we show the love we owe,
To honor all You claim?
Through Your dear Son’s redeeming gift,
We offer back our days—
A life to follow Your true Word,
Unashamed for Christ, Your Word we raise.

The sonnet Redeemed by Blood Divine, inspired by 1 Peter 1:18-19 (KJV), celebrates the redemption of humanity through Christ’s sacrifice. It contrasts the fleeting value of earthly treasures like silver and gold, which cannot free the soul from sin, with the eternal, priceless blood of the unblemished Lamb, Jesus Christ. Vivid imagery—crimson streams, radiant light, rivers from the skies, and shining stars—evokes the majesty of His sacrifice, which cleanses guilt and restores the soul. The poem emphasizes God’s boundless grace and love, portraying redemption as a divine act that secures believers as God’s cherished children.
I Peter 1:18-19 KJV
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
No silver’s gleam, nor gold’s resplendent blaze,
Could free the soul from sin’s unyielding hold;
Earth’s treasures fade beneath time’s fleeting gaze,
Their fleeting worth too frail to save the soul.
Yet see the Lamb, unblemished, pure, divine,
Whose sacred blood upon the cross was poured;
Its crimson stream, more radiant than sunshine,
Redeems the lost, their brokenness restored.
O grace that flows like rivers from the skies,
To cleanse the heart from guilt’s enduring stain!
His sacrifice, a beacon that outvies
The stars above, and breaks the captive’s chain.
Eternal love, majestic, undefiled,
Secures us as God’s own, His ransomed child.

The blessed faithfulness
if our precious Triune God
is like a ceaseless, Christ-given

The poem, titled The Eternal Scapegoat: Jew Hatred Is Satanism Unveiled, explores the theme of Jew hatred as a manifestation of Satanic evil, portraying it as a historical and spiritual force that deflects blame from true sources of wrongdoing. Spanning five stanzas with an AABB rhyme scheme, it traces the persistence of this hatred from ancient times to the present, depicting Jews as God’s chosen people who endure persecution fueled by a malevolent, deceptive force. The poem highlights Satan’s role in shifting guilt onto Jews to obscure evil’s true nature, while emphasizing the resilience of the Jewish people through their faith. The final stanza concludes with “For Jew hatred, that evil’s guise, / Is Satan’s worship, cloaked in lies,” reinforcing the idea that Jew hatred is Satanism in practice.
Beneath the stars, where shadows creep,
A venom stirs from caverns deep.
A hatred old, with roots of flame,
Points crooked fingers, casts the blame.
The chosen ones, through ages marked,
Bear scars of wrath, in exile sparked.
From Pharaoh’s whip to modern cries,
The serpent hisses, truth it lies.
“Satan’s sleight,” the whisper sings,
To dodge the guilt of darker things.
He points to Jews, his ancient foe,
To shroud the evil’s undertow.
God’s covenant, a shining thread,
Enrages hearts where fear is bred.
The light of truth, they cannot bear,
So hate is sown through poisoned air.
Yet still they stand, through fire and sword,
Their faith a beacon, their hope restored.
For Jew hatred, that evil’s guise,
Is Satan’s worship, cloaked in lies.

The Shakespearean sonnet, titled A Sonnet on the Tragedy of Forsaking God’s Truth for a Reprobate Mind’s Dark Immoral Path, explores the tragic consequences of rejecting God’s holy ways, as inspired by Romans 1:28 and related KJV verses. It describes how humanity, by choosing not to retain God’s truth (Romans 1:28), falls into a “reprobate mind,” pursuing fleeting lusts and idolatry (Romans 1:25). This leads to folly (Romans 1:22), as people rely on their own flawed paths (Jeremiah 10:23), resulting in sin’s deadly consequences (James 1:15). The sonnet paints a somber picture of spiritual darkness and despair but concludes with hope, as God calls the wayward to return to His mercy and life (Jeremiah 3:22). The poem underscores the tragedy of self-inflicted ruin while affirming divine grace.
In shadows cast by willful, erring choice,
The heart, unmoored, defies the sacred call,
And spurns the truth where heaven’s joys rejoice,
To chase the fleeting shades that lead to fall.
With minds reprobate, they weave their chains,
Embracing lies that glitter in the night,
Yet every step compounds their soul’s deep pains,
As sin’s deceit obscures the holy light.
No peace abides where God’s commands are scorned,
But restless voids that echo with despair,
For paths apart from grace are bruised and torn,
And lead to wastes where hope cannot repair.
Yet still His mercy whispers through the strife,
To turn the lost to everlasting life.

The Petrarchan sonnet, titled “In Defense of Righteous Love: A Sonnet on Hating Evil, Clinging to Good, and the Truth That Tolerance Is Not of the Spirit”, draws from Romans 12:9 (“Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good”) and the idea that tolerance is not a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). The octave establishes the call to sincere love, which rejects evil and embraces righteousness, explicitly noting that tolerance, as passive acceptance of sin, is not among the Spirit’s fruits (love, joy, peace, etc.). The sestet shifts (volta) to the struggle against evil’s temptations, affirming that true love hates sin while loving sinners, and emphasizes steadfast devotion to goodness and truth. The poem concludes with a resolve to uphold righteous love and walk in God’s light, where evil is overcome.
O love sincere, no guile within thy flame,
Thou hatest evil, spurning sin’s dark call.
Cling fast to good, where righteousness stands tall,
And shun the lie that bears a hollow name.
No fruit of Spirit bids us sin acclaim—
Tolerance falters where the shadows fall.
With holy zeal, we rise to heed the call,
To guard the heart with truth’s unyielding aim.
For evil’s wiles would tempt the soul to stray,
Yet Spirit’s fruits—love, joy, and peace—endure.
We hate the wrong, yet love the lost alway,
With goodness firm, our path remains secure.
So let us hold the good in fervent trust,
And walk in light, where sin returns to dust.
