Best Advisable Poems
‘Anger is one letter short of danger.’
Excess of it, our life can endanger.
Anger when grown into aggression and violence,
Works in vicious ways and is a great malaise
It fosters hatred and ruptures many hearts,
Angry words can wound and pierce like darts.
But Anger becomes a sublime emotion,
If we know how to handle it without explosion.
It becomes sometimes so constructive,
Quashing the fallacy that anger at all costs is disruptive.
Many a time it has proved so positive.
And sometimes it turns very productive.
When anger is turned against situations
And not against people aiming at their degradation.
It enables us to rectify the discrepancies,
Through our resentment to change the disparities.
It fuels us with the energy to voice against injustice.
Bringing solutions to the voiceless in their crisis.
But never let anger consume your heart and soul.
It sure will take a mighty toll.
When anger bubbles and boils, catch the cue.
Wait a minute before the fire devours you.
As humans, we are likely to lose our temper.
But remember, to it, never surrender!
Holding a long-standing. grudge,
Is like having an unerasable smudge.
It will always leave a stain,
And lead us to irrepressible pain.
However, it is not advisable to suppress anger,
It can lead to irreparable danger.
But remember, when emotions of hatred are let loose,
There is hardly any chance for a truce.
A person under violent rage
Is like a prisoner in a cage.
Anger, more often is a negative emotion.
Landing us in violent commotion.
Anger against people steals all our energy,
But when it aims at solutions, it enhances synergy.
When angry, forgetting all decorum, one may shout.
Don’t let your resentment thoughtlessly blurt out.
Never let the tongue make a tempestuous tirade.
Tackle this tiny tab of tissue and tame its blade!

Walk The Route to the Truth
Should you be seeking the route to the Truth
It’s advisable to follow this route
Start walking on the road to Graciousness
That guides one on the way to Godliness.
If you find a sign saying "Temptation”
Change direction with no hesitation
Persevere onwards past the Devil's Creek
Head off on the path reserved for the meek.
Travel on keeping in sight of the Light
On the byway that gives rise to the Right
When weary stop by the Saviour's Inn
There you shall find the rest you seek within.
Continue with strong determination
Onwards to the divine destination
There you will find the celestial Gold Key
That opens the heart for Eternity.
“Follow the footsteps of our faithful friend
Let the light of Christ shine bright to life's end.”

"Intermission: Ad Infinitum Lux Vitae"
Intermission
I wait
You call
I have loved
I wait
Lux Vitae
I have loved
Through the Storm
Lux Vitae
I have loved, to love You more
Through the Storm
You call, Open Door
I have loved, to love You more
Ad Infinitum
You call, Open Door
I walk with You through the Storm
Ad Infinitum
My Love is always Yours
You walk with me through the Storm
The Waiting Room calls
Intermission

Well, if for nothing else, I'm good for a chuckle
Each day you can count on me, before you remove your stubble
Okay ladies, this doesn't mean you
Means before you get all prettied up, woo hoo
But take care, too much strain on the giggler is not advisable

Limerick
How often do you spend time alone?
Time with Eternal God?
Any time resting at all?
Jesus or Father Christ offers wisdom
To His disciples
On the importance of taking care of themselves
He knows that if we aren’t taking care of ourselves
We will be of no help to anyone else
Wonder what Jesus or Father Christ thinks about over crowded schedules
Our lack of sleep or rushing
Or lack of prayer
Our obsession with cell phones or social media
We are rarely alone
Even if we are
We are updating, tweeting or texting
We have forgotten that it is essential to disconnect
If we want to truly connect
We were created to need rest and refreshment
That is why on the 7th day Eternal God rested
He wanted us to know, it was not only acceptable
It was advisable
Take time this week to be alone
Take time to be with Eternal God at Church
Take time to rest

Light Verse
Beyond the sky
The plain ground calls,
Like drop of water falls,
Offering bed of roses,
A real or an imaginary paradise it poses,
Below, I wasn’t ready to break more walls.
The blue bowel above remained visible,
Reminding me to soar – it’s advisable,
A much more deadly path to thread,
Many ascended, felled but I dared,
Leaving my footprints there - indelible.
Life has never been fair,
A heavy oppression seemed to brood upon the air,
Covered time and space determines our fate,
Not a mere figment of a poet's fancy that you should hate,
But I have made my choice like the wretched bearing Sinclair.
I choose, my decision -- going beyond the tumultuous sky,
Bearing all the stifling sensation of pains, I still fly,
Because in destitution, I see no sudden gleam of insight,
Since I know only by flying higher can I see the light,
With the inspired ray in my eyes, I need to try.
I’m done dallying in maudlin regret over the past,
Since my life is moving too fast,
On a fathomless speed of movement,
To a realm of golden improvement,
There I will be self actualized at last.

Limerick
only things grown in the ground remain
but mismatched without the hand of man
see that they dodge beautiful
their languishing longitudinal vegetable bodies
never suffer fracture the stems with fruits
and their armor and weapons, bark and branches
trees
no, I didn't think our past was decent
humans
if you ask me about those days of debauchery
we were building ourselves up like the men we now are
with wars and ironworks asps vertices vortices cusps
and it was discovered that it is easy to be reborn another
improvement is advisable
there is only one exit after a wall called brain
then the field we learned to cultivate
now this is what we are having mastered cultivation
homunculi like scattered tares sprouting without end
the power of some being the downfall of others
history built with annihilations
and then the progress
the home appliances
microwave TV freezer wire and electricity
then bytes and bits
now nanoeverything
tomorrow AI and nothing more.

In a communication session of understanding
A question is asked
Is forgetting. An advisable lesson in life?
A worthy task!
I spoke very quickly hand holding high
In my spirit book it said
You must forget what is behind you
For what was ....... is...... not what is now should do
So forgetting those things
which was a lie grab onto the truth
Good or bad has passed the test of truth
My communicator spoke a word
Why
I spoke gently but clearly and said
Forgetting is required if you are to win a life race
No one looking back will keep up with the pace of the earth
Pressing forth for a prize to run a race
Because there is a happening stage
New things be moving.....not isolate
You move your feet sweetly completely to a new level
This is the key!
This key unlocks many scenes I said
Spirits awaken to a new line of words
New ideas a new play every day
Say what you say and please be quick
say that again! and what is in a name?
Nothing remains the same
My communicator thought awhile
And said
What about your first kiss of raw love expressed in shy joy
What about your first sweet taste of cake the baker baked
What about walking alone when it was a stormy Monday
What about the sweetest phrase you ever heard
The tears you have shed in your quiet place called safety
The first handshake that sealed the deal and for a while your fate
Remember how it feels to remember the things that were?
So why?
I said
The answer revealed itself this is true
As I said from the start what to do
Push press all the way through to the
finish line your grave awaits too!
No one looking back at what was will keep up
For time waits for no one to catch up to love or the bitter cup
Time moves day by day and night by night alright
and it is always theatrical wait that is said what's up!
The curtain is always ready for the play
The stage is always set!

Keeping the Wolf Away From the Door
By Elton Camp
Who has seen hard economic times like these
Few of us are still able to spend as we please
Even those with jobs feel they’re not so steady
So to take on needless debt sure aren’t ready
It is very risky for most of us to invest in stock
But the low return on our savings is a bad shock
To fund our retirement we are told to be saving,
But the world all around us seems to be caving
And adding to the economic woes like these,
Many desirable jobs have been moved overseas
Another problem is illegal aliens who are able
To work cheap if they’re paid under the table
What can we do to repel that wolf from the door?
There’s a need for discipline as never seen before
It seems advisable to cut such expenses as we can
And work out and use a sensible budgeting plan

No person wants to live in a condemned building, with it's decrepit roof and ceiling
raining asbestos and lead upon your head, no one wants it but you can always go outside.
No person wants to live in a condemned building and drink from it's rusty faucets filled
with mercury and lead, lithium and rust, water so brown with bacteria and dirt that no
person should have to drink it but you can always drink from a bottle.
No person wants to live in a condemned building with it's putrid air so filthy and full of
dust and bacteria that sickness is not a possibility it is guaranteed but no one says you
have to live there, unless your poor that is.
No person wants to live in a condemned building with windows unable to protect from heat
or cold, where summers can suffocate and winter's can freeze. Where your about as safe
behind those windows as a tree is from the air. Any cretin from outside could easily come
inside and do unspeakable things. Such a house is unlivable and should be condemned.
However, what if the outside world was no better?
What if air outside was rotten with disease and poison and the lakes and oceans were so
brown that dying of thirst would be advisable?
What if the ground itself was so filled with garbage and waste that you wonder why you
can't just live somewhere else?
What if the planet itself were condemned and unlivable? Where would you or I go?
This is not as much a fantasy as it is reality that the planet should be condemned and no
one living thing should live here yet we have no place to go and we have no one else to
blame but ourselves.
Can this fixer upper be repaired or will we, the human race be condemned along side of it?

Just like gunpowder
prolong exposure
not advisable
to walk on the moon
a dream for many
uncertainty
about the truth
not an issue
walk on the moon
ultimate
aim in life
to explore
unearth
unknown
realms
I
somehow
prefer
Not walking
on the moon
It might spoil
my fantasy
of a full moon
two hearts beating
echoing love
Romance disappears
when dust show its face
cuddling up with you
looking at the moon
I remain starstruck

If you wonder why to men many
Womenfolk seldom seem born funny,
The reason’s straight forward
Based on what I’ve observed:
They need no humour to please any,
To them spade’s not just spade—
And menfolk included,
Let men give this truth not a penny.

Limerick
In the beginning, there was Chaos, Hesiod*
of old tells us
then
with the passing of time and the intervention of the divine,
slowly and persistently, the order was established
but
Chaos has not disappeared at all as it is lurking:
into the core of Cosmos-
into every heart
into every mind
and
into every soul
waiting
for the right moment to strike
to overthrow harmony and back to anarchy, triumphantly, us
to bring.
Imperative it is, therefore,
with each step we take,
vigilant we have to be, my friend,
questioning
everything that concerns us-
our being
our dreams
our becoming
thus
advisable for us would be
never accept something at
face value
but
on the contrary, we should, everything that concerns us
in-depth to examine
so,
good would be, suspicion's shield high to raise
for
to protect the inner order that we have so painstakingly achieved,
and
by doing so, to Chaos victims we would
never fall!

Athletic angels are analytical and archaic. But dust bombs do not derive from red, yellow, blue and purple shimmer shimmers nor do they derive from green, pink and orange glitter glitters. A hesitation of hue is not a hut queuing, a cart horse dancing in a ballet or a valley rising and spinning around and around. And always be very aware that the wearing of a coat in a moat is not advisable and pickles cannot ski in a pan so one must follow and adhere to the currents of the darting rivers and play in the littlest leaf boats to be seen then take several journeys up and down the waters for to travel is to take teachings and to take teachings is akin to Trapezing, or going on a pogo stick down a very busy motorway. Great then. Fantastic isn't it? Blossom not the seed of a giant kettle for giant kettles can appear harmless and harmonic but are actually in a boil and to be in a boiled state is said to be a wild and violent strength that should be timely avoided as to stop any corrosion coming from the steam. But to bloom a blanket by a stream in the heat of the midnight or the haze of a summer day is widely considered to be quite normal really. Particularly when the blanket is chatting. And the pillows have finally found some sleep. The gushing of the waters bring renewal and cleansing to unsurfaced unfaced areas of brief eye spots in a leopard tree. And a tingle tangle song is said to be the sweetest song belonging to no one but harmonised by many creative calming creators. Moon dance jive on a pickling fork. Haha the wheeled vehicle of a very loud obnoxious telephone is dashing to see a film with the carbonated cables. Hahaha the goldfish are all leaving their bowls and sailing out of houses in special water suits. Xxxxx cosmological calf said "moo" loudly to a blade of grass today. And a wildebeest snores in a back gammon game. Twenty six left angled shots in a interplanetary billiard game. And a central arch of a plate dancing in a discotheque whilst eating several cup cakes. Xxxxx astrologically z z z z z at twenty nine mules to eleven lamposts. In a forest glade chewing a toffee and treacle pie. Z.
