A team of Japanese scientist check their watches
agree, but cannot agree on the date to reveal
what they are hiding now from curious eyes.
Without the ability to look
through a time-telescope. I cannot figure out
what they are up to.
Archeologists have discovered possibly the first
Black Forest cuckoo clock. It has been authenticated,
but I don’t know by whom, and the cuckoo
is silent.
Bits of history have been magnified out of all proportion.
Future flowers wither on their stems before we
get to see them.
The front of the train never sees the caboose.
Perhaps the past and future exist on parallel lines,
perhaps the Cheshire cat has forever lost its smile?
We keep repeating unlikely tall tales
until we have to believe, even if they are
and always will be,
just theories.
I don’t know what will become of tomorrow
when today is so distracted by its place in the line,
and we wait pensively
for time to discover that we are really
not even here yet.

Zany Z’s
Zany zoo of zaftig zebras,
Zarnder manes, zebus with ziffs,
Zip through zawns, zigzag with zest
Wearing zories and a zoster
From too much zimstern, zabaglione and ziti-
Zucchini, zwieback, zeppoles, and zeps;
Zillion zitherns of zirconia
Zinging on zephyrs for the zazzy
Zemni zealous zeal for Zambonis,
Zeaxanthin zaps zinc zombie zones,
Zoographer’s zest for the zygote Zen zenith -
Zaffer zecchino of zebra finch in zamia,
Zorse in the zoysia with zinnia zepplins
Zimmers ziffs filled with zindandel zeatin,
Zorillas in zoot suits zoom like zodiac zircons
Zebrafish zithers and zorse zoology
Zippity-do-da - ziplining zorros
Zero in on zonal zapateados zip codes
Zydecos zing with zuppa and zibibs
As zany zoo zonks out to zanza zills of Zzz’s.

By virtue of His imparted purity, I honour* the LORD Almighty
Revering Him, bowing to His power-brightened majesty.
Thru His grace, I lift my praises unto God the Father in my earnest worship
Authenticated with my whole-hearted servant followership.
As my Master, He has the right to demand for my complete reliance
Thus, I thank Him for His mercy that enables my full reliance.
With my Saviour’s offered relationship for work-partnership divine
Woe unto me if I reject His wondrous stewardship design.
I beg that the King of kings would keep me yielded to His leadership-might
While I adore Him midst sweet prayer-communion’s delight.
*Proverbs 3:9 Honour the LORD…

Taught by God’s Word
free from deceit’s blight
I learned that I can be empowered
to practice what’s right…
My service is acceptably done
along God’s might
To involve in His work
of heavenly kingdom-advancement’s height.
Instructed by the Book of the Law*
authenticated by divine righteousness
I read that I must keep it
with heartfelt gratefulness…
My sanctuary-worship is genuinely
experienced along God’s holiness
As I testify about His love
of triumphant joyousness.
*Joshua 1:8 “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”

We are born and never knew from where we originated
Several say we belong to this earth the fact we accepted
We walk, breath, slaughter, fight, blast for which so addicted
That we forgot since the ages we have been tolerated
The pain which we give by making you so polluted
For the pleasure of living with which we are so fascinated
We forgot the life which has been so miraculously gifted
Considering the things for granted and act like authenticated
We suffer with your little move or yawn and get so frustrated
Don’t even apprehend that it is just your little pat to make us cultivated
Have always been utilizing the treasure freely and not much harvested
Consequence of which we are getting now when we saw you so erected
There is still a time to learn a lesson and to save all before you ignited
Hey listen all, do please save our mother earth before it gets too over heated

Confidence is a stain,
you can't wipe off
Put the pen in my hand
And turn the lights off,
Eternal light glowing
from the pits of my pen,
Killing others poets
my pen commits deadly
Sins,
When reading my work
You feel inebriated
I meant intoxicated
Poetry renovated
Never duplicated
Highly anticipated
I make it complicated
Killer exonerated
The world spectated
This is authenticated
Your work
disseminated
broadly dissipated
Be real when you read my work
Your hopes were deflated
My teacher once told my mom-
I was dyslexic
Now look at my ethics
I leave my fans
Electric
I'm unapologetic
Surely not sympathetic
Like a paramedic
Helping a schizophrenic
Tell a friend
to tell a friend
I'm starting a
Epidemic..

They Were Hit By Falling Space Debris
By Elton Camp
The only death from falling objects up to now
Was suborbital junk that killed a Cuban cow
Cow nor its owners were available for interview
So we can’t be certain that the story is even true
A report that’s reliable and very well authenticated
Took place in Oklahoma and in 1997 it is dated
While Lottie Williams was taking a walk in a park
A fragment of woven material hit her out of the dark
A report from Shaanxi Province in China is also true
Falling satellite debris struck a young boy in 2002
As to his injury, the boy’s father saw the reason why
Thundering sound and piece of metal fell from the sky
It was extremely fortunate that Wu Jie wasn’t dead
Space junk broke the child’s toe & grazed his head
Now another satellite is lowering & about to fall
But there is probably nothing to worry about at all

If i was made god of heavens
There would have no such difficulties
Which exist presently
And make life a mere possibility
If such thing has happened
No two lovers were to be separated
As one would meet the one an only
Which was written, consciously.
Every life was to be treated equally
Which would travel undeviated
But necessarily to be authenticated
As everyone have a unique destiny.
