Author's Disclaimer: There are sites on the web that have posted my signature poem after respectfully gaining my permission and I thank them. 
There are *others that have pirated and "doctored" their versions of the original work to post on theirs. (Thank God, most of the ones with the altered versions say, "author unknown!"). *I DO NOT support or endorse any of these sites.

"I visit churches, schools, prisons and rehab centers spreading positive messages because, my poetry is also part of my ministry. My poem, It's Time For The Lies To Die, should remind us that no matter what others say, we are made in His image and 'God Don't Make No Junk!"
