Lifes affliction's lessons from a higher power
August 27 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Lamentations 1-3
Key Verse – Lamentations 1:9 …O LORD, behold my affliction: for the enemy hath magnified himself.
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR BEHOLDING OUR AFFLICTIONS
Praise be to God for beholding our afflictions:
Hoisting us from hellish heat
Helping us with His heavenly host
Handling us against hardening howls
Holding us upon His hedging heartiness
Healing us along His health-hewing hands
Lamentations 2:9 Praise be to the Lord for
leading us with His vision so:
Vivid with His Biblical view
Victorious by His blessed valour
Vocal along His best against vanity
Virtuous building us through His verities
Valuable by His bestowments, vanquishing vileness
Lamentations 3:22 Praise be to the Saviour for
His mercies and compassions that fail not to:
Lead us to His light
Love us midst His liberty
Lose us with His leadership
Lift us despite our longings and losses
Link us toward His lasting lessons of life. Amen!

The afflictions that we may face in life aren't to be seen as punishments
But valuable lessons to be learned by all of those who seek wisdom!

The grievous afflictions that life brings upon an individual
Are but challenges to the soul to grow stronger and wiser!

Black men's with their troubles again
Mental turn black, no too dey reason again
White eyes turn wine, no dey see again
Criminals Edition who's making the scene again
So terrifying! Innocents blood on streets
Shockingly! All flowing like a stream
Cleaning may face, was this all a dream?
Speak up "we're the voice of the streets"
Lengthen days are shorten
Tick-tock it's counting
Multiple bloods spilling
Criminals still bouncing
Stop the killings, if you want to live long
Those you killed also have some to live for
Protectors found guilty after taking liquor
I felt this in me so I gat to speak up
Government blaming "what's all these we've all start"
We're asking "can they wake the lost lives?"
Those guys killed were our bloodlines
Come blow for blow, omo Soldiers go "pie"
No more killings!, No more Brutality
No more lives for sacrifices
We gat everything to be Armed
Buh we remain armless for you not to be Harmed
Speak up
Honey Crown
i'm surrounded
by these four walls
planning to paste
poems of pain
on its facade
trying to count
the countless
As darkness approaches,
among corrupt horizons.
To the angel in my nightmares-
no longer can I survive,
chained to such expectations.
Let me live in peace,
don't let this vessel sink.
Show me mercy and,
let this heart drown
in a thousand petals,
immersing in fragile fragrances.
So this soul can flow,
bathing in illuminating streams,
cleansing these painful afflictions.

Man’s Afflictions and God’s Salvation!
I’ve seen and heard of many afflictions!
Things happen in life, that need our attention!
There are things that happen that bring despair.
Wondering if anyone listens or even cares!
There’s a God in heaven who sees what’s wrong!
There are many things that don’t belong!
Evil moves with a power and destructive force!
It comes in many forms, from an ungodly source!
God knows what is happening and offers a plan!
His gift of salvation is freely offered to man!
His ways of living are at odds with this earth!
Anyone can come to Christ,
and receive a “new birth!”
If life’s heartaches and worries
are pulling you down…
There’s a new life for YOU!
Waiting to be found!
Your afflictions, for God’s healing,
is for you to receive!
Won’t you reach out to him now?
And simply believe?
His gifts of mercy and hope, is what HE can give!
He can totally transform you!
And the way you live!
His salvation, for life’s heartaches, is freely yours!
A new life with Jesus can be true
and secure!

hallucinogens of the unsound mind
anesthetic figures state their somber positions
the commodities of their mirthless smiles reast unconfined
i'm writhing from their false amorous animations
i romance with death dancing in the winter lights
in malevolence i sing my sorrow. prying it will end
trying not to impede the unhappy yet happy ones rights
i freeze a smile upon my face to be with the fashioned wind
