Best Able Poems
Mark
The earth turns its face from you
as if ashamed. You
who tilled the soil, now marked
by what the soil received.
Your brother's blood—
how it murmurs, how it screams.
Deafness would be a mercy.
Wanderer
At Babel, you watch them build
their tongues a discordance of hope.
You know better.
The tower falls. Always, things fall.
In Athens, questions hang in the air
like ripe fruit. You reach for one
find your hand empty.
Constantinople burns.
You've seen this fire before
in your own heart, in Abel's eyes.
Love
Her laughter—sunlight on water.
For a moment, you forget remembering
the weight of your name.
Time, that relentless thief,
steals her breath, leaving you
with pockets full of silence,
her absence echoing in your eternal night.
Witness
Verdun. Mud and blood
indistinguishable. You've carried this earth before,
will carry it again. In Selma, voices rise.
You join the chorus, unseen.
Your story spoiled, yet written
in every cry for justice,
a testament to your own unending quest for peace.
Grace
The sea spilling secrets
waves crashing against the shores of your soul.
In a quiet cell, you contemplate forgiveness—
that impossible shore.
Your heart is a vessel of unspoken prayers.
Each wave a reminder: the divine
as elusive as your peace.
Mortality
She sees you—truly sees.
Beyond the mark, the myth,
to the man who carries centuries in his bones.
You learn to love in moments, not millennia.
Each breath a gift, each touch a benediction
her presence a bridge to your humanity.
Return
The earth no longer rejects you.
You lay down, finally
into the arms of the brother
you've carried all this time.
Abel smiles. You close your eyes.
The silence, at last, is sweet.
There once was a snowman named Pipes
who liked breaking stereotypes.
He once wore a Toga
and in it did Yoga -
Hysterical folk needed wipes.
The children there stood upside down
for pleasure, and Pipes hid a frown.
“They laugh at my shape -
I’ll make them all gape
at how I amaze all the town.”
~After managing a headstand!~
Against him all kids held a grudge.
Pipes said, drinking hot chocolate fudge,
“for greater good I’ll
stay here for a while -
should teach you to think twice, not judge!”

I am able never accepted the word disabled
Out casted and trampled on by the one who gave me shelter for nine months
A victim of circumstances in almost all instances because our fore fathers never embraced us as their own
Clearly, we had differences so in our hearts we wondered if God had our interest
The streets became our home, a home that murdered many innocent souls through starvation so you hypocrites never preach to me about salvation when your bellies are full
Do these politicians think we need them to pass a bill before we can have a meal?
If believers of the Bible and Quran cannot show us love then I ask, can many of us see heaven without a deal?
A revolution starts now
So tell a brother to tell another brother that it all begins here in our hearts
Today may be challenging but know that every second we can sense and see a better day evolving
Let us work hard for the sake of our children who will not forgive us because we never triumph over the challenges
Yes we can only if we are willing which is powerful than any natural healing
Our victory will be a mystery coded in our souls like history
We can emphatically say we are all on a journey more relevant than a missionary
It’s time to part
you cannot stay
though we may have
another day
Hold my hand
I’ll stay awake
whatever happens
love remains
Knowing this
I am able to let go
We feel angels
at our side
soothing us
through day and night
There’s so much spirit
in your eyes
Now I know
how heaven smiles
Knowing this
I am able to let go
Knowing this
I am able
to let
you
go
No person is too small for God’s attention
God the Father is able to do anything, anytime, anywhere
A few bad chapters do not mean your story is over
On the contrary, the glory awaits you
Any failure can hail a more determined individual
So don’t give up
It’s time to Get Up
The day will come
When you will erupt with joy again!
Promise, Problem, Provision
The day will come
When you will erupt with joy again!
Promise, Problem, Provision
Get Up because a few bad chapters do not mean your story is over
No person is too small for God’s attention
God the Father is able to do anything, anytime, anywhere
There are no sons of Eden
only descendants of The Fruit.
They do their best with what they can
as Able still lies blue.
Long cast out of Paradise
they till the worldly soil
and blame the Lord for all their pains
and all their sinful toil.
Some give thanks for what they've sewn,
conceited, humble-proud,
thinking they're the chosen ones
as Hell still overcrowds.
The Lord made do with what Cain left.
(beggars can't be choosers).
With sword held high they judge by The Fruit
that made each one a loser.

our God is able to provide all of our needs
for it was in us that He planted His very seed
no matter what's happening in life no matter how hard are the days
God is able to keep us uplifted as we journey on our way
in the midst of the storms in the midst of moments of despair
give God all the glory that you are even still here
during August 2011 we went through a lot of stuff
an earthquake, a hurricane and then flooding water enough is enough!
many called on the name of God and many cried out for Christ
but why when everything is going good God's not a part of their lives?
what many fail to grasp is that God is always here
and we need to talk to Him daily not only in times of despair
for our God is able to keep food on our tables
our God is able to keep us upright
to maintain and sustain us through each day and night
and if you woke up this morning give God all the praise
and if you have a job in this recession let your hands to Him be raised
and if your children are doing just great
go and worship Him in any house of faith
God is able to maintain all that you've acquired
and give Him the thanks for fulfilling your desires
just don't think that this world is all about you
for it was by the grace of God that you pulled through
and if you're blessed with a pension of a 401K
give God the thanks that it came your way
our God is able to keep us from falling down
as our faith in Him keeps us on higher ground
so grab on to the hand of God let His glory manifest in you
stay in the presence of God and follow the path designed for you
and when your money gets funny and your change becomes strange
let the blessings of the Lord get your finances rearranged
and when it comes to finding that soul mate in life
let the God who is able send you a child of Christ
bow down to His wisdom, bow down to His authority
as you allow His glory and majesty to come unto thee
our God is able to keep us from going astray
so in life it is unto Him that we should pray
As stories go
So do souls
They wonder then grow
As cold as snow
Or as fever ant as ice
Men are not mice
In fields of golden wheat; grain
Lost with out; insane
Forgetting all that was; ingrained
Living souls in stores
Forgetting their chores
They become the board
Life swings back and forth
Mistrust; faith out sourced
Flesh awaiting to be scorched
Saviour's a many, but never a one
Living beneath the threat of a gun
Time awaiting to be undone
Dear old Abe that Faithful one
His brother ascertained, then defamed
He was Cain, not thy brother's keeper
But an evil creeper
A vine unfit to be tied
Entangled a web which he is bound
Truly wrapped and then leather bound
Blacken and read; were the words
The Word; bled the color of red
This fabled prince, our lord
Three score and some
Defeated seven thousand and one
And still some will be lost
Torched along with the moss
For the fable was not Able
To save any one
A thought by Sinbad the Sailor Man
Able Bodied Man
I'll always remember the magical moments
As we walked whimsically under the moonlight,
There were many memories of tender sweet
Soft sands that kissed the bottom of our feet,
Such an able bodied man with treasured presence
I'll always think of some kind of reason,
For we'll be intoxicated with just holding hands
In this time as if every magical feeling has its own season,
As an able bodied man and woman walk hand in hand
Upon these treasured soft kissed sands pertaining
To the many magical moments under the moonlight.

Living within this one body
is a person able to speak
but also one who is not
stammering making one so weak
Many a disability is plain to see
but this one is not so clear
be silent and nobody notices
thinking you're able not a tear
There within emotions tangled
but later an other person's there
one looking confident and cool
other battling to remain it's not fair
People so unfriendly to one of you
the other one they think you're top
not able to be completely one
one's caged within the other not
But remember think of others
indeed worse off than you
unable maybe to walk see or talk at all
at least your one half is able to do
Stammering is a monster
disabling you from within
but fighting back you are able
as divine strength helps you win
AUTHOR NOTES:
Having had a stammer all my life of 60 years but in recent years have came to
realise there's two persons in this body, one who stammers and the other who
speaks normal , at least some of the time so this poem is written from my
perspective of being two persons living within the one body, one disabled the
other able.
Greater than the highest mountain placed across my way
Stronger than the host of darkness poised in stern array
Fiercer than the roaring lion closing on its prey
Yet gentler than a day old lamb asleep upon the hay.
There're few words that are good enough to aptly express
The greatness of God in this boundless universe
He can do more than we can imagine or think
He's the ultimate answer to just anything.
God is far more than able; He's far more than good
He's far more than able to say and to do
So let's give Him the highest of glory and fame
For He far more than honors His word than His name.
in such a time as this of broken dreams and shattered lives
God has a 7 point stimulus plan that will help you survive
my God is sovereign, He is the absolute resource
my God is the ultimate universal life-giving force
my God is able to do any and all
my God is so qualified He will never drop the ball
He suffered for me, He can't be enticed
by the world's greed and malicious device
and no matter how high and no matter how low
there's no place to find me that my God won't go
to save me to rescue me in my times of need
He will always be there to help me succeed
my God is able to keep me from falling down
will always lift me up to safer and higher ground
my God supports me, guides me and always protects
to send angels of grace and mercy and more than I expect
my God is able to subdue anything here on earth
and make any situation better before it can get worse
my God is able to supply all I need and require
according to His riches and what of me He desires
my God is able to secure all that I've acquired
my faith in Him and all in me that He inspires
exceedingly, abundantly, beyond and above all
my God does for me whenever of Him I call
He suffered for me, He saves me, He supports me and subdues
He supplies my needs, He secures my faith and does exceedingly too
my God is able and on His promises I do stand
trusting in His 7 point spiritual stimulus plan

They say, in the end, that family will always be there.
I have learned that this is a lie...
If for Any reason you are NOT ABLE,
Then FOREVER you cannot.
They say that family is unbreakable,
If you ever need help, they're dependable.
Family is valuable.
Family is reliable.
They say that family is where you can be comfortable.
Family Love is durable.
I have learned that Family Love is changeable.
It can be debatable.
If for Any reason you are NOT ABLE,
THEN FOREVER YOU CANNOT.
They no longer consider you valuable.
Their forgiveness is unattainable.
Their Love was not unconditional.
Their Love was not unchangeable.
Because I once was unable
I became unforgivable.
dispensable.
punishable, forgettable.
And now because of Family
It is completely un-fixable.
You once filled a very special place
deep in my heart. But now that
we have fallen apart it seems like
everything has been erased from the
very start.
But just because we fell apart that doesn't
mean someone else can fill that special
place deep down in my heart. No one
can and no one ever will. And yes I
really an being for real.
You loved me and cared for me.
You were always there for me.
You even brought out the best
of me. You always made me keep
a smile, and it was always there
more than a mile.
So now you see? It's only
you that can fill that special
place for me. No one else
can do that for me and
do everything else you've
done for me.
