Speaker Volume

More of a symbol than symbolic
trying to best it would make you a relic.

There's an elephant in the room
and I'm it.
Big nose and obvious
but he's gray and I'm black
the gray may be a reflection
of the rain that has passed over me
I'll wear it like a battle scar,
till its no longer fashion to me.
I wear emotions on my sleeves
My outfits make statements,
more like press releases,
I dress for questions,
this rhetoric turns thread into thesis
booted up like i was born in this outfit
like i was born feeling this way
i sported it so long
im where's waldo everywhere
red and white stripes
this feeling of winning at barely
is killing me while steadily saving me
im producing blood at the rate im loosing
can you picture it
the outfit
the emotion
composed of regret and success
at a rate the cancels each other out
red and white stripes
waldo blended in
because both success and regret
filled the page
but im alone in this book
and the elephant doesn't mind the attention
just wishes it was more impressive
as if the volume never capped
you just turned it up
and until you went deaf
then maybe the attention
would be matched by the performance
(to be cont'd... maybe)

Back From The Future: A Sermon

Back From The Future: A Sermon from Xon Up on Vimeo.

This sermon was only the 2nd I had done in my return to my home church, Family Of Faith Church, in Wagoner, Oklahoma. The concept behind this message was to inform the Body of Christ, that we're to not only look towards God's promises, but we're to act upon them also. Taking the steps to fulfilling the vision we have from God

New type of post

For anyone who has read the About Me section of this blog or follows me on Twitter at twitter@troyflewellenjr, knows that I'm a preacher, poet, and philosopher. I have posted poetry, and now am looking into posting my sermons. My philosophy will follow. I am a member at Family Of Faith Church in Wagoner, OK. I've been a ministering there since its conception almost 2 years ago.

Nostradamus Fell In

death is a matter of catastrophic moments
but this moment in time is brought to you by now
this tense being more cognitive than faith-base
I'm in this present with you

-and im waiting for us to unravel
which for most, it implies explosion
for us, its the moment we respond
to what we've seen beyond each others veil

no prophet needed, we are seeing into the "now"
that has laid naked under covers
it holds the breath you took when i saw you
it can keep it, your energy has become my respirator

life support has been replaced by the love of it
i hope this present vision,
is what youve come to this island for, with me
our now is beautiful and in no way ending
unless we over anticipate the future
