The Weight of Truth by Jaci Turner They say that facts wear no disguise, But truth and power trade in lies. When data dares to light the way, The strongman shouts to keep at bay. He mocks the minds that ask too much, Calls science cold, detached, out-of-touch. 🧵

When the Light Was Yours for my dad You always found the quiet rows, At every one of my dance shows. No crowd, no cheer, just you and me, Your presence loud in loyalty. 🧵

The Cost of Going Along They say the things you want to hear, So why look closer? Nothing’s near. It feels familiar, calm, and right, You hold it close and dim the light. You nod along, dismiss the doubt, And let the deeper truth stay out. Who has the time to fact-check lies 🧵

Artificial Authority (The Cost of Shortcutting Truth With AI) They fed the prompt a hollow frame, Then dressed it up in truth’s good name. A thousand lines, all stitched with speed, But none were rooted in real need. They claimed to heal, to lead, to guide, 🧵

🖋 The Quiet Coup A powerful poetic protest by Jaci Turner — where silence speaks volumes and justice finds its voice in the margins. This is a call to awareness, a resistance in verse, and a reminder that we are the story coming next. #TheQuietCoup #PoetryWithPurpose #SpokenTruth #RiseAndWrite

A Spark Inside I try to live a life that’s kind, To speak with care, to seek and find The quiet path, the steady grace, To leave some light in every place. They say that Christ is far above, But I have felt Him most in love. Not thunderclaps or skies ablaze, But in the humble, honest ways. 🧵

Home in the Rain The raindrops tap a soft refrain, A quiet gift from sky to plain. No thunder shouts, no stormy fight, Just earth and water wrapped in light. The scent of soil begins to rise, Like whispered thanks beneath gray skies. 🧵

They Didn’t Know by Jaci Turner They didn’t know the things I faced, The silences I had to chase. Their love was there, but not enough To see when days grew dark or rough. They married young, still searching too, For who they were and what was true.

🕊️ “Still seek the good beyond the stain...” In a world where titles are taken more than earned, The Shepherd’s Burden by Jaci Turner speaks to the quiet, faithful ones — the true shepherds, led by love, not power.

The Pulpit and the Smoke A new name rises over Rome, A voice that calls the exiled home. Not for power, pride, or throne, But for the lost, the left alone. He speaks of grace the Church once knew, Of mercy dressed in gospel blue. 🧵

⚖️ “For when a lie becomes the guide, democracy begins to slide.” Jaci Turner’s latest poem, The Lie That Led the Law, is a haunting reminder of what happens when truth is twisted, and power is misused. A call to conscience. A call to speak up. 🗣️

Late, But Here by Jaci Turner I wasn’t there for finger paint, For scraped-up knees or soft complaint. I missed the songs and swing-set spins, The sticky hands, the early wins. 🧵

A call to return to grace. 🌬️ In a divided world, may we find peace through mercy and the true meaning of the cross. A new wind blows, and grace can rise again. 🙏💫 #ThePulpitAndTheSmoke #Grace #Faith #Hope

For Joe - He gave them room to turn from hate, But watched them use it to seal their fate.

Where the Story Turns by Jaci Turner I used to chase the lead girl’s line, The love, the leap, the grand design. I saw myself in wild-eyed grace, In every brave and longing face. But now I find I softly lean Toward moments quiet, still, unseen, 🧵

What If It’s Not True? by Jaci Turner He wore a bow tie and a grin, And asked what truth lay deep within. But every doubt he dared to stage Was fuel to stoke a quiet rage. He framed it all as “just a thought,” A wink, a jab, deception caught. 🧵
