Best Believe It Or Not Poems
U nderstandably pleasing everyone is not possible. She wrings her hands
f or even under the best of circumstances, those who wish to take
o ffensive will, ranting and raving, howling at the moon, ****-kissing
A ny plastic image stuck to a dash-board, paying the piper.
r eally, is it any wonder hellicopter head lights are taken for
e rrant space ships, even Ezekiel saw a flying wheel
S uspended within a wheel, and we all know, the Bible is the word
o f God. Are you going to argue with that
R easoning? really? like well, just because Leary was on acid
e ven Hindi yogis saw levitating laghimas
a nyway, she says wringing her hands
l believe in them!
Hell Is Real! Whether One Believes It or Not!
I heard from someone who consistently persisted.
On trying to somehow “prove” hell never existed.
I talked about God’s word and righteous deeds.
He compared this to man’s failures and needs.
He tried to explain Christ’ death on the cross…
And what it really means to be eternally lost.
Though God’s word speaks of hell quite often…
A different kind of gospel is what was taught him.
For God so loved the world, he sent his only son.
A sacrificial lamb, is what he would become!
Through him, a way to heaven, the price was paid!
Our sins, for his grace, was offered in a trade!
Jesus clearly warned us of hell and eternal fire.
It’s not his will for us to be there, nor his desire!
There’s a heaven to gain! Don’t be one who misses out!
We all need to focus on what salvation is about!
Through Jesus, we can all escape
hell’s eternal flame!
By accepting unmerited grace,
through HIS precious name!
Will you join me? Let’s humbly bow before Jesus
and confess our sins!
Then the reality of God’s righteousness
will surely begin!

Read Romans 3:23 and 6:23
My apartment once looked like it was decorated for halloween.
Throughout spider webs were on display easily seen,
from every corner of every room and from beam to beam,
but these weren't props, these were the real thing.
I guess a spider got into my apartment through my air conditioner most likely,
and proceeded to procreate a lot of spider babies,
who kind of took permanent residence eventually.
Rather than exterminate, I chose to coexist with them,
and I believe that they too had sensed that I had no bad intentions.
They would freely come on to my hand and creepy crawl along my arm,
as if knowing that I wouldn't cause any of them any harm,
then I would place my hand in the direction,
of a spider web it may have likely spun,
and off they would go amongst their web's scattered debris,
of dehydrated husks of insects, but only one variety.
The prey that these eight-legged predators enjoyed the most,
was that classic uninvited guest, the common cockroach.
Prior to this whole spider invasion,
the cockroach was a major problem in my apartment,
but after the spiders moved in,
I began seeing less and less of them,
and shortly after that, there were none.
There was also an immediate decrease in the spider population.
Their prey the cockroach was no longer in abundance,
and so the spiders died out too due to lack of prey.
I haven't seen a spider or a cockroach to this very day,
but I will always be grateful to the arachnids, because they helped me,
to get my apartment roach free, completely, finally.
Believe it or not, this is a true story.
Believe it or not
He swore by the day he sighted the earth
This step he took
Was not aimed at piercing anyone
But to show his appreciation
At exactly the time (or on time)
Had he known the blessed wouldn't be pleased
With this gesture
He would have
Hands down
And waved for naught
'What are my mistakes'
He asked
Cos his heart is mixed
This mind is now full with mix feelings
The memory of strange letters that gloomed at his eyes
Believe it or not
He had never wish for anything
If nothing will make him live a simple life
And meet his Creator in good shape
Then he will be satisfied with that hope
Than a hope of something
Where he wishes for nothing
A.O
Believe it or not ...cracy is crazy
Remains turning time and again
As one tosses coin on wind
You know eyes of Mountain Everest
These days are busy to have a look towards plain
Crazy cracy is winding not thinking results wandering
Past events are blowing trumpets
Everywhere signs of failure
May be they wise or unwise
People demand, we need cracy and cry for
Those who shared hot blood in this continent
Still are poor, only earning 50 cents a day
Forget to win war with curved swords and with spears
Leave adamancy and do clean politics to reach
Apex, with hoarse voice we give you always hot sit and
People! What do you think about them?
Poor ! they are ! flocks! only spill with driven force always
Only their blood spills and floods in the dust
To leave a stain to mother to be faint and shade tears
martyrs they are also brave just to hung in photos
It is true dear believe it or not
Truth is always bespoken clear
Believe it or not can not believe these days
Spread statement in the air is whether true or not
Cause air has been tired and has wound towards
May be south or somewhere needs one day collision with
Everest has a big chest to share and to bear wide thoughts
Right thought to fumble key at old nights in winter
As gives cold touch in finger, compel to raise open the door
dark room enhances light dim to throw life for single night
Believe it or not.... cracy is crazy
Remains turning time and again
As one tosses coin on wind.
I've never been so appalled
By such a sudden shock!
When ev'ry plan is strictly stalled-
Like Luck lies in a Lock.
A powdered nose makes way for prose-
Try to relax; it's not that bad.
But it's not fair, and God, he knows-
Just think of all the Love you've had...
Religion is a funny thing
worshipping a name,
interpreted in different ways
but basically the same.
The rules are from an ancient book
which tells you what to do,
all questions sent to heaven
but the answers come from you.
Most advocating peace and love
throughout the human race,
so clearly there is something wrong
for this is not the case.
Our greatest gift is life itself
to be allowed to live,
and saying thank you now and then
does not seem much to give.
Whatever we believe in
a lesson should be learned,
life is a special gift to you
not meant to be returned.
Now I completely understand why Jesus called them fools
His Creation is far too grand for any such man-made rules
As on this show I saw last night, an electromagnetism atheist
Belief is no longer his plight, explaining God in our very midst
He was extremely smart but that doesn't make anyone a fool
He came to know in his heart, by science which is pretty cool
The fact left no other reason but that there is a greater Being
This your Winter season even Thomas doubted before seeing
By his own proofs he knowledgably came to this conclusion
As the World spoofs, what you believe is satans own allusion
The figures were so great as the Bible had stated all this before
Sorry that you have such a trait that such a God you just ignore
The man, many others of his like, having to actually see to believe
For many it is truly a hike but the true numbers will never deceive
So the foolishness comes in in that so many souls choose to ignore
You can't pay for the price of your sin and know not what is in store
Sure everything has a possibility but your odds are not that good
If you look you Shall See that it's the God Part that is understood
Yep, he used to be on the other side but he found God in numbers
But as for one with such pride this true reality rarely ever occurs
Numbers 11:17
And I will come down and talk with thee there:
and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee,
and will put it upon them; and they shall bear the burden
of the people with thee, that thou bear it not thyself alone.
My heart reaches the destination of dimensions
near the cliff of face-paced thinkers.
The greetings were friendly because
grace was in the shadows of living!
So was the
supreme clouds that are God-given on earth changing
rainbow sky
Yes the hue was outstanding the colors demanding
Tore down
My earthly will my essences increased my face smiled
Then I woke up out of my dream to a new day
And
Stood
ln the middle of this many feelings toll foes
to stir my melodic tone of laughter a maidens call
At best revealing searching scores and woe.
frantic souls.
Time zones were made at the throne
on the side by the double doors
where the light shined brightly and me watching.
Battles-struggles attacks fought the truth
And
the tidal waves of fight or flight
for the womb of love and life came from the dirt
that leads to heaven and back to earth
to build a mighty fort.
To satisfy my lord my mate, my love my joy ecstasy rewards
Ring finger sang an out-of-this-world hand clap tones
but nothing seems to match
So I thought
When you stand in the middle of desire
it births desire you would think my mind said so?
When a man finds a wife am heard he finds his good thing
Now look at this image this is my fate
am always in the middle of others
look at this I be my birth 73
or more years ago in ancient times, it seems
When I the veil child emerged from my birth slumber
I was already three
My lord could not and did not find me.
So I went forth!
and this happens
- My Age- is more than seventy -three{73] years down here called earth
My leap-year birth is a mystery to me
My lord may be now either too old for my inside flame or too young to understand
my pain
So my dear reader's Mystery does unfold
were mystery stories are told but what funny
destiny for me but my friends work hard to keep me
feeling happy and free!
Ripley’s 2021 - raven atop the burial of masks

Once upon a midnight dreary,
while I pondered weak and weary…
Quoth the raven, “Nevermore.”

Robert Ripley would travel the world looking for oddities.
2020 was surely one he wouldn’t pass up.
The world came to the proverbial him, instead.

Beleieve it or not.
Accomplishing your goals will never stop.
Doing your best will help you prosper through any quest.
Saying no to failure will help you ease under pressure.
Saying yes to knowledge will help you thrive beyond college.
Being in a religion will help you make the very best decision.
Believing in God will never be a fraud.
Saying no to no to not will help you reach beyond the top.

The Munro and Corbett mountain peaks contest
Current events dictates social distancing
Squire Cavendish was expecting some protest
Twenty four paired challengers were competing
Marshalls prepared alerting the contestants
(Isolation bubbles strictly adhered to)
Reiterating the rules and enforcements
Alarmingly, a small protest did ensue
Squire’s bombastic tone and presence did inflame
As an incendiary device would exploded
Worldwide interest in the media game
Above newsworthy helicopters hovered
Now eagerly awaiting developments
Protesters in numbers increasingly spread
Mainly due to many safety infringements
Disappointed challengers away were led

Five words Mountain. Squire. Current. Events. Exploded.

Composing a hymn, a verse,
I swallowed the universe,
freezing the frame, as it were,
where nothing at all could stir.
In time stretched stillness thus poised,
no longer by thought forms toyed,
energy within humming,
I sensed chords of bliss strumming.
Peace became bliss, love and light,
expanding for heart’s delight,
thus making worlds manifest,
where we now dwell in light jest.
