Why can't she learn to do that right?
You'd think that she'd know better.
Someone should tell her what to do,
To hone her each endeaver.

What is he doing over there?
He should be over here.
He should be told where he belongs,
And make it very clear.

She never does as she is told,
Although I've tried and tried;
What she should do and how and when,
I took it all in stride.

I spoke to her, I spoke to them,
To bring her back in line;
But she is stubborn, wants her way,
But she will learn in time,

That I am right and she is wrong,
I'll teach her that I know,
Much more about her work than she,
I'll tell her where to go.

It seems my help and good advice,
Is just ignored and spurned.
I only want the best for all,
The best for all concerned.

I guess my help's unwanted,
But if 'twere put to test,
They all would see that I am right,
And my way is the best.



No matter where you go or what you do you're going to find some people in the world who think they know more about eveything than anyone else and they will do their best to force their opinion on everyone they come in contact with. Th ebest way to handle someone like this is to give them a wide berth. Stay aloof but friendly in a distant sort of way. However, don't hesitate to let them know you cannot and will not be bulllied because this type of person capitalizes on your weakness. Whenever they start something with you it's important to make sure everyone knows exactly what was said and done when it happens so you don't end up looking the fool instead of them. When they find out that instead of keeping quiet you will fight back using their own methods against them they will back off and leave you alone.

Trump Authority Would Sweep

Trump Authority Would Sweep

This is what MSNBC was saying.

While at night we were sound asleep,
Trump gave authority that did sweep;
Small hand;
Face tanned;
No wonder people call him a creep.

The Frontal Authority


                                                Hail to the Chief
                                          The President, The Thief
                                         The Puppet without belief
                                             Pulling strings of grief

                                              Honor for the Leader
                                            The Scholar, The Reader
                                        The one they call The Bleeder
                                             The popular vote needer

                                             Hooray for the President
                                      The Commander, the Pretendadent
                                           The America First so hesitant
                                       Showing the people false sentiment

                                                    Hail to the Chief
                                                    Our Master Thief

All powers are wrapped in a grasp to
Umbrella an interest for a common goal
Taking every step with virtually no bureaucracy
Holding the baton of command and instructions, so that
On no account are decisions challenged
Rights and responsibilities, directed by it for an
Instant turnover of loyalty and adherence
To manifest the will of the staff bearer
Yet it still can never be absolute

Unshackle My Verse- Forbidden Authority

The scene was set the moment we met as he guarded my
heart with verses of pleasure-
I’ll never forget the irrational threat banning poetry
beyond comprehensive measure. 
Freedom bells rang and little birdies sang to the tune
he wrote like the whisper on an eagle-
But when injustice came the “Forbidden Authority”
proclaimed our poetry would no longer be legal.

They said too much inspiration would cause creation 
to rise above the regal law withheld-
All the generations who put pencil to paper
would be institutionalized and immediately expelled.
It was no longer right to stay up all night
while time could be spent slaving in the field-
Poets were treated like waste and never could
taste the feeling of being truly healed. 
Causing such haste the authorities 
brought forth a fast-growing recession, 
for no longer did poets have the freedom
of heartfelt expression.

How do we know this is to be true,
that this madness occurs in our universe?
See, my beloved escaped from the underground cave
who was caught intentionally writing me a verse.
He felt a love so deep and he just couldn’t sleep,
but the cameras caught him under his blanket-
A flashlight was held and he quietly tried to creep,
but he gave up and could no longer take it. 

He was apprehended and people stared
while no one acted like they cared as they flew him 
away in an invisible jet-
It just didn’t seem fair he was captured unaware
but he was never able to forget. 

He was beaten and burned but he soon learned
how to break free from this awful institution-
He felt he earned the right to express concern,
and finally came up with a solution. 
The moment he escaped and ran through the gate
and remembered the rules of the First Amendment,
so he wrote a long letter, but should’ve known better
that the “Forbidden Authority” owned the government!

He had broken the golden rule, for now he was a fool
who would be punished beyond comprehension-
He was made to sit on a stool and use a quilling tool
to imprint on parchment his wrongs with apprehension-
But he soon realized with tears in his eyes
what he was writing was really poetry in disguise. 
See…they put curses on his verses…a then he wrote,
“Poetry is freedom of speech-
and dictated censorship is nothing but lies.”


UNSHACKLE MY VERSE

Muted By Authority

They never predict the consequences 
Of their hurtful words;
To them, cruelty is a way
In order to make all pay! 

You all have witnessed how it goes;
No need to tell you how;
Just rewind in mind the old days
And try to figure why!

We think we had it all,
Reached the end of the road
And believing we should stop,
We miss ourselves behind! 

It should not block the path;
Life really does go on;
Yet, once it is all said out loud,
Can it be turned down once more?

She fired her comments in cold blood,
Kept stabbing with a smile; 
She never thought of hiding the venom
Of her so-called advice! 

He sat there stunned;
Aggravated by all means;
To him this was the final halt
Crawling with slow steps! 

You all may be wondering, 
And questioning about 
The truth behind the identity
The poem talks about!

I am the one who stuttered
And sweated with every breath
I know not why I stayed silent 
All I know that I was forcibly
Muted by Authority!

Women of the world may
lead,teach and oversee.

Highway Authority

Hunting around, sugar level sand
Mountain View all year round
Street and I will be waiting, for the summer breeze
Payment fill De butterfly seeds
Hawaii is looking pretty good
Cobwebs needing to be removed from the surf board
Freeways narrowly, then they widen
My, wife blows the whistle

Authority

Accepts leadership as headache
Unites all subjects to agonize
Turns workers into complaining robots
Holds all under him suppressed
Organizes team work for failure
Result oriented management a bluff
Invests in man power for self-interest
Tests set goals to check cheating
Yearns for mishaps to misappropriate

Premium Member Despising Authority

Mankind has a great aversion
refusing authority’s commanding rule
thinking they always know best
but in reality they’re not really cool

The human heart is filled with pride
authority has to make pride break
overpowering it to keep it down
showing who’s boss and no fake

God’s the absolute authority
no human one can really compare
for the eternal one is truly king
man’s in comparison’s really bare

But mankind continues to despise
all kinds of authority bar none
not realising God reigns supreme
on the final; day man can’t run!

('No one despises human authority unless he first despises divine authority'
- Richard Sibbes (1577-1635) puritan theologian.)

The Root of Evil Vs the Bad Seed

3/27/2018       
Spit shined black dress shoes, badges and keys. 

The childlike fear of figures of authority.

Condescending tone, vocal depth, glacial stare

Standing upright, hovering over you sitting in your chair.

Behind a desk, in an office, certificates on the wall. 

College degrees, commemorations, or backed by law.

Cut your mic off in the middle of a moving speech

Raise the prices higher than anything you’ll ever reach.

Knock the legs off the ladder as we climb to the top

The key to their success written in a drawer, kept locked.

Same adults saying, “Shut up n’ listen,” urge you to “Speak up for yaself”

Every time you act or express something different, momma reaches for the belt.

Black robed white collared behind an elevated altar

While Judases sit in pews in fear sin will conquer.

White coated, phone bill charging for half an hour

Costly prescriptions instead of natural herbs and powders.

Weekly sessions diagnosed a mild depression 

If suicide ain’t on your mind, therapy will lead you that direction.

Government imposed taxes and student loans $5,000 debt

Paychecks seized by the bounty hunting IRS.

Currently, currency and power market wars and cancer

Little boy asks, “When’s daddy coming back?” with no answer.

Troubled teens evolved from touched children 

Never spoke for fear their parents would kill them.

Religions already forced them upon their knees

Never blossomed fully because they were said to be ‘bad seeds.’

Society, Plan, Authority, Sum

A society
That pressures me
A society 
That showed me "true" beauty  on the TV

A plan
That tell what I can't and what I can
A plan
That has only began

An authority
That makes everything but me a priority
An authority 
That rules by the majority

A sum
That makes me numb
A sum
That took away my freedom

Authority

Authority
Authority is a privilege
It is power mixed with rule
It’s control and domination
Oftentimes misused as tool
And when orders are not followed
When instruction is ignored
Then the charge will be defiance
Which will soon be underscored
For authority wants order
Yes, it will lay down the law
And expect your acquiescence
Whether or not given in awe
The subservient will prosper
When authority is fair
There will be no need for conflict
No dissension, no despair
Still authority is bias
Though much needed
It’s much scorned
But he who dares to disrespect it
Do not try it, you are warned!

Wendy Nipas

By What Authority

They said He was a false prophet:
and for blasphemy, they wanted Him dead
Calling Himself the Son of God,
made them put a blood price on His head
So they came always seeking to accuse Him,
trying to trap Him in His words
But He was way too wise for that,
always putting them on their heels when He answered back
Thus His enemies came bold one time,
and asked Him by what authority
Who gave Him the power to preach in the temple,
who gave Him the right to teach the simple?
Who gave Him the authority
to declare they were vipers who were not holy?
The Lamb of God said He would tell them
by what authority He do all the things He do
If first they answer His question, then He would answer theirs too
The baptism of John, whence did it come?
from heaven, or from men?
Who sent John out in the wilderness,
calling the people that followed to confess their sins?
His enemies reasoned among themselves,
and knew they were in a quandary
If they say John's authority came from God,
He would say, why then didn't you believe:
But if they say John's authority came from man,
who is only flesh and blood, tears and spit
They feared the wrath of the people would fall on them,
because the people believed John was God's prophet
So they answered and said they couldn't tell
by what authority John did the things he did
The Lamb of God said He will not answer as well,
and by what authority He preach and teach will also remain hid

Walking On God's Authority

why is it so hard for some people to see
that I'm walking my life on God's authority

I am a child of the most high God
 And l"m living my life with His regards

I speak  words of life and not negativity
I possess an attitude of positive mentality

God gave me His mercy, righteousness and grace
I'm aware of  His glory and I know my place

God gave me a foundation of solid rock and not sinking sand
I live my life as a full participant in HIs master plan

I no longer live with sin, my heart and mind are now free
I'm walking throughout life on God's authority
