Don't judge,
Be humble,
Be forgiving.

The abased, lifted up
Humble heart, justified.
Don't be holy than thou.
He accord with whom humbles.
He's glad with whom have faith.
He who obey the law is blessed.
Respect your heart, mind and soul.
Love your neighbors and yourself.
Give your tithes and offering.
Worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Love your enemy, forgive and pray for them.
Offer yourself as a living sacrifice.
Find salvation while you have still time.
Love God and obey His words to the letter.
Weep and wail..You who are not a kingdom.' Yet who would
Rule as God.! Setting a throne on high..Yet it is a toilet in
The eyes of The One True God ' He has placed you on notice.' And you will be abased.!! Those who are women
Yet swagger as men shall stagger.' Sores will be their ornament a sign upon their heads.! Those who are men in
You yet deny their birthright, shall be cast down.' Their days
Shall be as a nightmare.' And their nights 'a hell on earth' they
Shall run from catastrophe to disaster..They will be the prey of their own fears.' And sadness will consume them.!
In an invisible body of glass,
Where the brain feels it should strike.
The eyes have its frequent eye wash.
The mouth obliged to keep silent.
The heart feels siffened in a cage of its own.
Happiness tries to creep in, overtaken by sadness.
Depression buries energy and strength.
Living is not a favourite word anymore.
Lies are being exalted, truth is abased.
Dishonesty seems like a culture.
Compliments is toxic, insult is the antidote
Communication is a catastrophy.
Love is a word that don't exist
Appreciation is nameless.
Support agrees with credit in good situation.
Not bad situation.
Um, you stand alone.

Our country is fast becoming,
morally laid in waste.
Many embrace this change,
while others feel abased.
Nefarious people are making,
troublesome news each day.
We no longer view our laws,
being black and white, but gray.
Our Government has now become,
like a humongous money tree.
Illegals are treated far better,
with a stipend they live rent free.
Looting and killing is rampant,
with protesters voicing their views.
With covered faces, they burn our flag,
in protest toward ourselves and Jews.
“The wheel that squeaks the loudest,
always gets the grease.”
gilt
but of intricacy
of a mirror’s frame
guilt
shown an ember in me
am I not the reflection’s heel
am I not intrinsic
asked, though eschewed
you judge me mirror
abased, now
heavens just let me be
in my own camouflaged
hypocrisy
China's might is people based
Why are they being so abased?
Free expression under a ban
The locked in souls; woman and man
A nations tapestry; world known
Where are its champions?
Has all reason flown?
An unyielding wall came down
Through Dictates based
On un-safe grounds
The wall is cracking. now stress lines show'
As army's of people aren't allowed to go
To buy a vegetable; or stuff to wear, its so!
Its not a place now; of debate or philosophy'
But of fear, and; oppressive; autocracy.!
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Even when in a famished state I hunt,
In pastures green and lush with abundance,
He renews my spry and exuberance.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
In gardens of drought He will fortune plant.
He leads to quiet pools of fresh water
from which I draw strength and endless laughter.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He does my requests for pleasant paths grant.
Even when to deepest darkness I stray,
He lovingly paves a most glorious way.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Even when my foes seek my life to hunt,
His rod and staff give me all the comfort
that allay my fears of every discomfort.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He does my sumptuous feasts and banquets flaunt
for my blood thirsty adversaries to see
from abased locations on bended knee.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Even when Satan tries my soul to haunt,
His goodness and mercy will follow me
until His heavenly abode I see.

My external misgivings Runaway
Found in Shack on in my feelings run away
Caressed encouraged Runaway
Ben heaven-bound run away
And in my forgiving I ran a stray
Ain't Misbehavin so I ran away
Running from the truths
Been burden and misused
Abased on the braised that my suffering
Intermediate and failed to heed to my calling
Search around and over and over for a darling
Why is my memory stalling, formidable so appalling
Running from the truth
And in my forgiving I ran away
Ben burden and misuse
And in my forgiving I ran a stray
this is why now
I Runaway

Above all the edges;
Complete conversations;
Torrent decisions;
Abased delusions;
As I am out if my head
And I'm trapped in my mind
Of make believe
Reality receive
Promises believed
Still talking heads

Abased, I am content.
Hungry, I suffer need.
Feasting, I rejoice and feed.
Abounding, I am sent.
Abounding, I am sent.
Feasting, I rejoice and feed.
Hungry, I suffer need.
Abased, I am content.
Christ, You provide strength to endure
whatever is my lot.
As strength in You is sought,
my hope remains secure.

Philippians 4:11-13 KJV
Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Tears silently spill, falling freely from my eyes; they pool within my heart, reflecting the hopelessness and desperation etched upon the faces of destitute people, begging on the streets. I am abased. Compassion pleads for me to stop and offer them real help, not just toss a few coins and move on. But I am weak. Embarrassed, I hand them my loose change and walk away: head hung low. Hunger does not smile on an empty stomach, and the sun does not shine in the shadows. There are no happy endings to life's grim facts; society's rejects exist on scraps of charity and the bitter dregs of indifference, handed to them by fate. My soul isn't tethered to high places: it cries out for the urchins living on the streets. The intolerable loneliness and insignificance of their lives have left me overwhelmed and despondent: always on the verge of a tear. And my mood is one of melancholy and disappointment: for I've failed my fellow man, and my conscience shames me into admitting it.
sympathetic smiles
