Poem Title:
Poem
The brain - the instincts -- the beauty-- the health - the years-- the courage. I thank him who "has all power" for these gifts by using them.! The compassion- the creativity- the passion- the love, and the wisdom. I thank him for these gifts by sharing what I have with my fellow man. All the gifts- All the attributes endowed unto me which allow me the power to act feel, and rise to the occasion. I will not wait for God to intervene. When he has created me in his own image- and has sent me equipped with the armor to battle all the causes- and wars and atrocities did against my fellow man. I have the precious ability to discern what is in front of me to do. I will not turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to the misdoings -killings-and abuses done to any of his creations. I will not determine what God's will is ...but as I know what my ears are for- and as I know what my teeth are for - I know also what he has equipped me to do- And I certainly will not ignore the truth of any matter "for to ignore_ the truth is “Ignor -ance”. No more than deception that keeps you in a trance- Coward's waiting for God to do That which he sent hue-mans to do... Whenever my creator sees me slipping; This question enters my mind and I paraphrase. "How can you ignore your brother's suffering and say: "You love me whom you have never seen”? Some people will give a" crippled crab a crutch" – But will not speak up against the killings of blacks, children or the needy – Nor will they even offer a "hungry human humus". (that is old beans, for human beings). A little pun for fun - yet seriously... we need to smile as we think about how we think. My brain, my health, my wealth, and knowledge: My courage - my compassion and my passion; Should all (I pray), be used for the betterment, and the upliftment of my fellow man. Where to start? I start by looking in the closest corner to shine my light, as long as I have the precious ability to do so. And when I am but a faded photo in the book of days gone, I pray, that I have given someone the "precious ability to carry on" ... To carry-on...
