Recruit with an Attribute
Results of action was to recruit,
And enlist with a wild attribute;
Up now fired,
And inspired;
Did look plump in a parachute.

Is Consistency a Divine Attribute?
Is it just ‘faith’ or proven ‘fact’ tomorrows’ suns will rise?
Were rainbows there before the flood, ‘Old Testament’ more lies
Or metaphors for ‘Truth’ that stands? The ancients understood,
They trusted this consistency; trees form the heart of ‘Wood!’
Are groups of trees that stand alone a proof no wood exists?
Do fits of rage, do lightning bolts, does pain mean death is real?
Is Love a prison, Death escape, who tells you what to feel?
Is God our future, more a curve, man’s name for what persists?
Is any Truth eternal friend? A universe blinks out,
A tree that topples no one hears: is silence more devout
Than sound? Pay logic’s dues! All answers lie in faith to me!
Pain aids our growth towards God; Is Life the child of Ecstasy?

Seriously, I will stress I am NOT leaving Poetry Soup, I have a lifetime PM and I intend to use it until I can no longer pick up my pencil. I am just taking some much needed time out to focus on getting my poems into a book. It has been my intention to do this since I left work in 2016 and now the time is right for me to put my plan into action.
I will be dropping back from time to time to read some of the amazing poets here and to make the odd comment

Mother is sweet to the moon,
Mother happiness is ours.
Gave us love,
Self co-operative the blues.
Whatever the demand, whenever we,
Mother did it ,
We Offer that sacrifice.
Mother protector is ours,
Mother is prosperity with her,
Nothing more than mother,
we are just sweet to mother.
Mama you will not see any grief,
It is your steps that we swear.
We will do all the pleasures of the world
now offering you all.
Now our turn,
You are prosperity to give it,
We have the mother,
You are my mercy,
You have not starved us
even you have starved.

A blessed mass in the stomach of the Americas,
a large crocodile between the North and the South,
the finest of its productivity lie in sugars and cigars
which are well registered in the global books of gratitude
and Nickel, making up the laces worn
by mother Earth directly under its lay.
The hub of the globe’s smallest frog and hummingbird
and a custom-made habitat to the rare manjuari
is this geographic beauty, housing no animals or plants lethal to man,
and as well the officers of health in a multitude second to none.

you was our wall
it was time fall
heaven made the call
it was plain
you stood by man
with a plan
you both did your thing
you will for ever
live in our heads

To err is human, to persist is the devil’s way
God forgives us, so some act in a godlike way
Though seems difficult, but a good doctrine
To err is human, to forgive is divine with option.
Suppose a man slaps you on your left cheek
Offer the right one? Will you hit him back?
Perseverance is the diabolical two-way notion
Err is human; to forgive is divine with option.
Message of the English bard in Measure for Measure
“Judge not lest ye be judged” of Matthew’s Chapter
The Duke judging Isabella’s forgiveness notion
To err is human, to forgive is divine with option.
Ireland case of wrong breast cancer operation
Diagnosis of the cancer is hard said the surgeon
Reacted pathologist, smile, unfair to sue surgeon
To err is human; to forgive is divine with option.
Laugh when you can, apologize when you ought,
But let the things go of what you cannot convert.

Man dies on cross
Virgin has a baby,
Man builds bomb,
Woman cries "you're crazy"
What is truth?
What do we disprove?
What religion do we rely?
Preeminent hope?
once masters of succession
now reduced to unholy recession
Allow this summarize
In religion truth lies
In religion secrecy thrives
In religion secrecy hides
It is in love we find compromise
Is it religion we really seek?
It is tempting to believe
what we have been told,
look around you,
will you not. What have you forgot?
Look inside do not hide look within,
this is who you believe in.
