OMNISCIENT OMISSION

OMNISCIENT OMISSION 

My poem forcibly removed from the
text book by a higher authority.
Like a deleted scene cut from of a
film reel of an old movie. 
To be lost and never found again.
The themes of the anthology no 
longer being fully explored or 
understood.
How history can repeat itself.
Comparable to the Nazis. 
All copies must be destroyed.
The words I spoke 
and the words I wrote. 

Torn from the pages.
Torn from my hand.
Torn from the student’s minds.
Ironic how English teachers do not 
understand the English of my work, 
yet they teach the violent tragedies of Shakespeare…
“How shall I murder him, Iago?” 
“Romeo must not live.”
“Macbeth does murder sleep."

Now, all that Remains is a page as 
blank as closed minds…
“This page is left intentionally blank.”

You’re missing the point

Intro

Will your mom advise you as a friend for me?
Please, ask her
Are you a good boy or a disaster?
Don’t wanna waste my time
With someone like....

Verse 1 
A boy said I’m too independent
and he’s unsure what he can give
I replied -if you’re asking this question
it simply means you’re missing the gift

A boy said that I’m too abnormal
that something must be wrong with me
because I’m alone
I replied - yes, I’m picky, not broken
but if you think so, you’re missing the point

Pre-Chorus 
You’re missing the point
You’re missing the point

Chorus 
Do I need to say it out loud?
I do not need the boys around 

Verse 2
A boy said that I’m too complicated
’cause I’m asking the questions he doesn’t want
I replied: yes, I do, ’cause we’re strangers,
if you turn away, you’re missing the front

Pre-Chorus 2
You’re missing the front
You’re missing the front

outro 
Will your mom advise you as a friend for me? 
Please, ask her
Are you a good boy or a disaster?
Don’t wanna waste my time 
With someone like you, boy

I’m too young and too happy
according to my ‘infectious agents’ professor 
and is he ever wrong?

Four of us pressurized med-school freshmen 
(Chloé, Emma, Léah, and I) who have become
fast friends, were twisted together in a seated circle, 
laughing, cutting up and sharing our deepest thoughts 
as the TAs handed back several quizzes that had been 
slowly and torturously graded over the past month. 

Isn’t it bad enough that studies have reordered us,
and made our days and nights as one?
Must we also wear our spirits low? We cannot.
Humor is our gentle requital 

Laughter is the impossibility powerful sound 
that slays worry and common sense

That educated man may spend his authority as he wishes
but well-timed delights can’t always be scheduled.

He said "you're too young and too happy" with a twinkly smile 
but I treated it seriously in this poem. ??


Premium Member Power Rusts Authority

Power corrodes restraint to rust as power corrupts absolutely

Premium Member The Authority Of Christ Sent By God - John 3: 34-36

Jesus came here on His Father's authority
sent down on a divine mission
speaking the word of God from above
to tell of the great commission

God the Father loves His only begotten Son
giving all things into His hands
so Jesus brings His own to Himself
that His own true word will stand

They are those that believe not the Son
resulting in the fact that they won't see life
out of their own foolish heart disbelieve
this unbelief brings its own strife

God's believing people believe the Son
so as a result, receive life everlasting
bringing joy and assurance to their hearts
with a peace that's forever lasting

This divine authority is truly biblical
proven by Jesus life on earth
His words and actions displayed truly
all of His attributes in His life and birth

(John 3:34-36 )
("For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.")

Premium Member Chicken Sh t

The modern world has practically eliminated chickenpox
But now has an epidemic of the chicken sh*t.
From top to bottom we see it infecting society.
If you’re in a position of authority, and
Use that position to target and oppress others 
And undermine the Rule of Law through lawfare,
You are chicken sh*t.
If you are in a position of power, and 
Use that position to enable other’s corruption
You are chicken sh*t.
From parents, to school boards, DAs, and the FBI
Corruption is now tolerated and pursued,
In the name of some vague social justice,
But really only because those doing it are chicken sh*t.
Have you ever actually seen chicken sh*t?
It is repulsive, slimy, wet and foul,
But it is good for one thing
Fertilizing your garden.

Transit Authority

Free forms in movement
Dept of transit

Overhauled movement of poor life during isolation

Isolation instructions still in assembled bills as job requirements

Obstructions are final. Finite mathematics stills speech and range of motion
Counter intuitive approach to data modeled in hmis privacy act census

I'm a normal function inside of integral limit with derivative market extortion
On vista bus from Ventura government building towards thousand oaks the absence of New York life is laws

If = x

If I cannot
X can

The Shadow of the Crown

Within the marble halls where shadows dance,
A silent wisdom shapes each chance.
"Outshine not the master," old voices warn—
A subtle art, where gifts are worn.

On gilded thrones, egos softly gleam,
Their fragile worth a waking dream.
A spark too bright in youthful eyes
Can summon storms from clouded skies.

Not dullness asked, nor brilliance veiled,
But grace in shining, gently scaled.
Let masters see their wisdom’s hand
In every triumph you have planned.

For envy’s sting, so swift and cold,
Can silence songs before they’re told.
A whispered slight, a shadow cast,
Can dim your brilliance, hold you fast.

So weave your worth in quiet thread,
A force that’s felt, not always said.
Lift gently those who hold the sway,
And shape your path, a patient way.

Be steadfast, wise—a trusted guide,
A loyal heart at power’s side.
And when the crown seeks fresher light,
Your subtle glow will guide the night.

Premium Member Words flaunt their authority

Words
Flaunt their authority
Demanding attention
To a limitation
A seeker's delight..
And the limitation 
May hold hostages
Form religions..or
Simply
Fly and die...

The Authority

He's the one promotes,
He's the one demotes on when,
The affairs of men.

Author Authority

Not in writing
to win a prize,
approaching people in
the world's threats and wounds

After doing so

listening
considering
recording of their setbacks
to cheer together

If we can.

Premium Member Highest Authority In the Church

Pope has the highest authority in the Church
In fact
The only higher authority in the Church is Our Lord Himself

Whoever Is Alert

Whoever is alert
Seeks to some point assert.
Your thoughts need not round cruise
Or a search start for clues...

He's a security,
Safety—Priority,
For prized alacrity,
Help to authority,
Eyes on obscurity;
Life has no parity:

Whoever is alert
Can fat danger avert,
Swoop on a crazed pervert,
To The Right him revert;
Prowlers picking their names,
Crooks beating in their games
On even days gone grey,
Lens swinging either way...

Though the worst still emerge 
And us ready for dirge!

Authority

I do not make the rules
That bring a proud man to his knees

I don’t endorse a justice
That denies his dignity

Nor do I write the laws
That stop a free man being free

I do not make the rules …

The rules make me

Premium Member Aspirations and Actions

When we're young
Full of aspirations
Full of time 
Full of ability
But actions delayed
Like most of the politicians
When we're old
Too little aspirations
Too little actions
Because too little time 
Too little ability
Like the common people
But aspirations and actions 
Are parts of a bond
Or a pair of lovers 
That can't be separated
As politicians and people 
Are closely related and dependant
Politicians got the power and authority
For actions
People got the votes
For aspirations
And fair and square indeed
The world first created by God
