Scattered Thoughts
Overwhelmed from responsibilities.
Need a place to run away.
Surrounded by pessimistic poison.
Sometimes a toxic relationship.
Paralyzed to make a change.
Drinking is the remedy.
What is the root of the problem?
Guilt and anxiety all around.
Insecurities begin with bullies.
Observe and recognize.
Are thoughts holding you captive?
Drowning from manipulation?
Mind control from controlling antagonists.
Drowning in circumstances.
Find your way through the dark.
Fight through the chaos.
This is your journey.
Take a stand boldly.
Cut out the cancer from your life.

Don’t listen too closely…
thought can change the
quality of ears; and what
we hear is not always what
has been spoken –
currents of
air carry sound differently --
each atmosphere a mixture
of pros and cons antagonists –
Brahma, not always a predictable
in and out breathe. Besides,
Gods can be quite contrary,
taught to us by the
Greeks and Romans; and the
one Christian/Jew God, seeming
not always
on the job punctual -- requiring, perhaps
a bit more self responsibility...?
A minimum of 2 points, to the bull's horns.

"Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there. But the herders of Gerar quarreled with those of Isaac and said, “The water is ours!” Genesis 26:19-20
Do you hear argument’s doorbell?
Jealousy causes a groundswell
like a sink hole.
Antagonists are raising hell
over an underground bombshell
greed's sordid goal.
Contentious opinions foretell
what sounds like a solemn death knell.
Isaac would bid anger farewell;
he'd forgo harm, refuse to yell,
showing control.
He'd breathe deeply, hot air expel
before maddening tempers swell.
Like him, extol
peacetime; just dig another well;
be forgiving. Ring freedom's bell.

To anyone, never extend your paining hand
Hand that they might twist
Twist cos of distrust and hatred
To anyone, never reveal your tears’ secret
Secret to shield antagonists of making you cry more
More never reveal to anyone your fragile side
Side anyone might deeply explore
Explore to agonize you more beyond
Beyond of your inner secrets
Secrets buried can shun becoming prisoner
Prisoner of your worries towards your enemies
Enemies making you live in perpetual terror
Terror because an honest man was betrayed
Betrayed by a traitor who is confident
Confident because the perjurer is entrusted
Entrusted for breaking the truth
Truth no one will ever reveal
Reveal and expose themselves
Not every truth needs disclosure
Disclosure kills trust people have in you
You trust yourself, as you cannot betray yourself.

What makes me
smile the most.
as some racists,
antagonists , discriminators
and tribalism folks
claim to know the meaning of respect.
I smile ,
keep smiling for many years
as I know
they are lying to themselves.
What makes me
Smile the most.
Imagine a person is cutting legs
and hands of some people who are not of his
" her" race, " or tribe or religion "
Throwing those body parts to some carnivores
and some big reptiles
Human rights of other
people is disrespected.
Yeah !
Look the reality
of this cruel World.
Where some cruel people
Continue walking free.

Don't laugh when
Some racists, haters
Antagonists, tribalist and

Why stopping to speak the truths?
Where there is ignorance
of the true word of God,
there is all sorts of evil.
Why stopping to speak the truths?
People who really know true God,
are not:
unjust,
tribalist,
racists,
discriminators,
Heartless,
Killers,
Robbers,
Xenophobic,
Antagonists
Hypocrites
Liars
Haters.
Why stopping to speak the truths?
Happy is someone who loves the truths.

What will you say
When you see
Someone in the groove
Driking some guava
Juice?
How will you feel
When you find
The grave Of your lost
Relative under the guava
Tree?
How will you Look,
When a big black
And white
Goat eating
Dry grass
At the grave yard
Of saint
Georges?
How will you guess,
When the big gaz
Pipe lines which
Pass in the seas
Block?
What will you sing,
When some racists
Antagonists, haters
Xenophobics, gangs,
Crooks, liars
Prostitutes
Terrorists
Welcome
Christ Jesus
As their Lord
And
Saviour ?

I feel him there all day and night.
In my dreams, he speaks to me and makes my burden light.
His voice is like a soft and beautiful cymbal.
His turn of phrase makes my heart quick and my mind nimble.
His righteous utterance of confidence during the day,(sigh) shows me the way.
In retrospect, he was always there during my jejunity.
My father left me and my mother was not caring enough to love me.
He laid his finger on my heart and I felt his love.
His sweet and indomitable breath guided me to rise above.
I was abused by many antagonists and callous people over the years.
He fed me the fruit of his righteousness and chased away my fears.
He has made my life bountiful.
He has rectified my inefficient life so that I can become skillful.
In my winter solstice, I feel that time is nearing the fall of my withering and fermenting flesh to the earth.
My prayer is that my soul will bloom into immortal mirth.

Sometimes life is very complicated ,
Living with good and bad people ,
it is so complicated.
Living like an Ireland,
it is so complicated.
Living with some good people who don't
understand you ,it is so complicated.
Living to please some people who hate
and love you , it is so complicated.
Living to change some stubborn people,
It is so complicated.
Living among some disciminators, tribalists ,haters ,
xenophobics, antagonists ,It is very complicated.
Living without knowing your last day on earth ,
it is very complicated.

I cannot imagine a world without antagonists
Although I've thought it clearly more fun
Minus those in whom argumentation persists
Arguing for argument’s sake, getting little done
But coming across as an expert, they’ll insist.
Look no further than the Congress of the U.S.A.
For grandstanders who delight in rebuttal
Would we could hold up their annual pay,
And on election day, tell them all to scuttle,
For progress, they continually get in the way.
Most of them think more highly of themselves
Than they ought; not so intelligent, I’m told,
Always trying to convince their mind delves
Into important issues, they search for minor gold
On election day, let’s return them to the shelves.

In nature, it is endowed with awareness.
Enduring apprehension in my heart
The dueling duress of beatific and vile start.
Our hearts sank as the words startled us
In duty to the Antichrist and his army,
Swarms of fellows with distorted mind.
They spew the vile toxin, all eyes fit blind.
To gullible and rotten, skies droop stormy.
But something wields a dull consciousness.
Defense forces sent by immoral angels
Never will we accept evil spiritual labels.
You can apologize and escape darkness.
When a disaster occurs, we will all join then.
And I pray that God sends you his blessing.
Satan army will die, and his delight ceasing.
These unafraid antagonists converted again.
We still have the golden opportunity to change.
Errors have been made throughout our history.
Note that this is a warning of a dire mystery.
This moment moves toward the hot range.

Remembering the glory days of golden youth
When love and laughter ruled the day,
Barmy frolicking was ever the gospel truth.
And every boy was a neighborhood sleuth
With nary a moment to be whiled away,
Remembering the glory days of golden youth.
When hell was to be paid for a rash untruth
A principle to be upheld, come what may,
Barmy frolicking was ever the gospel truth.
A typical boy was seldom known for his couth
Always jaunty, but for an insult would repay,
Remembering the glory days of golden youth.
Maintaining his pride so important, forsooth,
While holding his peer antagonists at bay
Barmy frolicking was ever the gospel truth.
Well-groomed and natty, ah, so very smooth
Careful never to be thought of as fem or gay
Remembering the glory days of golden youth
Barmy frolicking was ever the gospel truth.

I want to see the clash of the classes
The dichotomy between the debutantes and the downtrodden
wallow in the welfare
scream at those who don't care
soak up society
revel in the rivalry
step on the suited
smile at the smart
vilify the antagonists
snore at the soporifics
bleed in the gutter
be saved by another
turn out the lights
smile at the night
experience the extremes
of a midnight's dream
