YESTERDAYS WISHES
They were yesterday’s wishes, all silly fantasies
Bubbly without serious thought, as it was then
Thinking that the world was here just to please
Reality finally dawned, but I am not sure when
Sometime in the midst of that sound and fury
That the sword really was mightier than the pen
There is no way left to appoint a balanced jury
It’s when religion eventually becomes political
Why don’t Christians have an allocated houri
So, please excuse me if I sound too analytical
But the world situation is now reaching critical

Should ye jail me whom people appoint,
Beware, that will be a ‘breaking point’,
Trump said in blatant threat
To a nation deemed great,
A case points to a buckling knee-joint.

Poet’s note: Donald Trump has warned that it could be a breaking point for his supporters if he is sentenced to prison following his recent criminal conviction. A not so indirect threat that tells a tale in a country which saw political violence after Trump’s defeat in last presidential election.

Into the azure
lofty inter loppers linger
romantics wear me out
day dreaming till they die
Blackbirds in flight
brings you back into life
the fetches of light appoint
the mountains yawn
learn the rhythm
in mists striding the horizon

If we want technology that is simple to use,
The answer is simple,
Not complicated,
If we appoint people who are simple,
Not complicated,
To consult people whose needs are simple,
Not complicated.
If we want technology that is simple to use,
The answer is simple,
Don't give credit to those whose life is complicated,
To buy technology that is not simple,
If that is not too complicated.
If we want technology that is simple to use,
The answer is simple,
Charge less for complicated,
And more for simple,
You will find few have more time for complicated,
And more have time for simple.
If we want technology that is simple to use,
The answer is simple,
Not complicated,
If we ask the questions that are simple,
And not allow those with the power to get complicated,
To think power for them is that simple,
And remind them that we have the power to make their life complicated,
When they forget that their job hangs on them doing simple,
For those of us who don't do complicated,
It is that simple.

come let the Father speak His heart
In our minds
through our eyes
He sings melodies springs
past participle chose more alternatives;
Select offend means to
pick;
pick out sometimes means stand out
opt for means to wait;
plump for is gained weight;
go for means to go git it;
take may mean to steal it;
settle on means to accept
fix on means unbroken

handpick means picking tomatoes and corn

designate army buglers … hun!!!
determine, specify, appoint' name
nominate isn’t voting;
adopt doesn’t mean gathered family carriaged;
espouse doesn’t always mean marriage;
pitch on GET rich on

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil
but what is good. Anyone who does
what is good is from God.
Anyone does what is evil
has not seen God.
3 John 1:11
Most religions claim to be peaceful
While there is no peace on earth today.
Why? Because some religious folks hide devil
in their hearts and continue doing evil mostly.
Look at the religious conflicts in Nigeria,
Israel, Palestine, Pakistan , India
and other few countries where some humans
always kill each other because of different religions.
If God is One amongst us on earth
Did He appoint some individuals to always
exterminate others for His personal revenues?
No and no! This world needs peace - just peace , Yeah!.

God will surprise some haters
About your big rise.

Appoint you on the top pic
Without delaying ... friend.
Heavenly golden
Box will be opened soon dear...

Her inhaler is not exorbitant
But should it count much that she's The Buoyant?
Why the breathless condition keep constant?
Black smoke from her kitchen Great Irritant!
Six in the morning the cursed urge itching
And Madam Irene must see her kitchen.
Helping her out was her nicest offer
But she had continued to 'Yes' defer.
With her husband she shall first confer,
As he has opinions he can proffer!
"Mama, you're damned down: That's the main point,
To now steer life's precious ship effort joint;
Miss Agnes: a cook for you we appoint;
For the job your pastor could her anoint."

Two chicks were sent to scope out what the rabbit had done.
He was losing it a bit, having weird ideas about what is fun.
The chicks found eggs hidden in the grass, which was good.
But the rabbit had also hid them under a pile of wood.
Those eggs were all smashed up oozing out candy of course.
He had also hidden some under the hooves of a horse.
Might have to appoint a new Easter Bunny the chicks reported.
To get the eggs under the haymow, he must have been seriously contorted.

If I could realize,
where to be lost...
I would elect your look!
If I could appoint,
where to live...
i would prefer in your heart!
If I had to decide,
between living or dying...
I wanted to be in your hands...!

She has been waiting for amount
To her survival paramount
“From my base to the next bikes I mount!
I should, therefore, a whole lot count!”
But Bad Economy is a point,
Big money collecting at gun point:
An Extorting Police at check point,
Perpetually there, self would appoint,
Much like some Pastors self with anoint;
The Thing spending at every beer joint.
Spouse Coleman had this mentioned to her,
On bikes against Cold a coat of fur:
Britain’s Winter’s about eighty ponds
Russia’s Siberia’s a price that pounds…
“And so Life to Christ The Real Amount
One needs for one’s ascent of a mount!”

Be kind and considerate without getting anger
Use soft words, but be firm in your decision
Due to your calmness, you turn then stronger
This helps you surely excel in your mission
Because of your manners, you lose no longer
Success and money come to your possession
Choose words wisely and deliver them properly
Use not words that show that you are disorderly
Produce for all peace by behaving not poorly
He who avoids a fight ever has the upper hand
As he insults none, but drives clearly the point
Feelings of others, he does kindly understand
As a result none he will in life badly disappoint
On troubles, he will never at all just wrongly land
As wit and wisdom, he does very shrewdly appoint.

Dasher was reluctant, and in a bad mood anyway
So, he let Santa try to push him, out of his way
Santa gave an elongated sigh as he pushed him up snow.
But Dasher weighs five hundred and two and refused to go.
What will I do with you? Santa asked his reindeer, the lead.
He might have to appoint another animal as North Pole steed.
I guess I will invite Vixen to be my new favorite, Santa said.
This made Dasher angrier; his cheeks turned pinkish red.
Prancer and Dancer were laughing at the situation at hand.
Rudolph was giddy, dancing to a Mexican tequila band.
Dasher ran off, showing his backside with a sassy flip.
Making Santa yell out “bleepy gleepy creepy gyp blip!”

man-child used to being a shooting star
drinks always came for free at the cash bar
full to brim with urges and willfulness
left wondering alone in wilderness
not quite able to keep up with himself
loss and wanton desires ruin mental health
focus gone, became another lost boy
"Aw shucks" demeanor his major decoy
not understanding skill in scoring points
a lifetime of pleasure does not appoint
Johnny was after all his father's son
truly did not seek to hurt anyone
like so many others, gone way too soon
leaving the rubble of legend he'd strewn
