Premium Member Wisdom's Marching Council
I know you invited the Brothers to side-line along,
but only if we are here to listen;
Don't speak.

Yet I may have credential for qualifying voice.
For I, like some of you,
know what it means to develop cooperative,
too often dissonantly competing,
multicultural enriching relationships
with our African-American husbands and lovers.

Sons...

Earth's diverse Trees of Tribes
mentor ecotherapy with me,
EcoWe,
echoing sighing resonant waves of wisdom
surfing through lunar waxing-waning freedoms
of humanly divine burning nuclear bushes.

Show me,
unveil We,
boundary wu-wei issues
weaving functions with frequencies,
tipping wild-flowering forms with full-color fluencies,
soaring summer's Yangish fired threat of melting ashes,
sawdust outcomes
without winter's quenching white...

The Council of My Motherland
Strike the masses, with hopes in prose
To earn their trust, and thumbs in folds

Kneel to the masses, to be put to council
Chosen by the masses, to be their council

Steal the masses’ offering, when put in council
To flee their own, only from hassle

To thee the council...

Real good people in action in Bath

Many realists versus theorists.'

Premium Member The Town Council Proposal
Some say it began with the Jehovah's Witnesses
ingesting sacred substances with the Rastafarians.
Others say that could not possibly be true or false.

What emerged one sultry August Town Council evening
when half the town had found some sleep:

We believe that direct and indirect health outcomes
derived from use...

Council Girl Waster
Knocking on the door, can your mate come out to play?, 
or is she grounded for yet another sunny day?.
Meeting up with your mates, hanging around the park, 
getting up to no good, until way after dark.

Listening to music, all night party's, having a dance,...

Jeffery Snerd Runs for City Council

By Elton Camp

No doubt, of him you must have heard
The candidate’s name is Jeffery Snerd
He has lived in this State all of his life
And he has a local woman as his wife

Of children, they have produced four
Ten grandchildren and expecting...

Premium Member Heaken To My Council
I have said it once
Now will i say it twice
Not anymore 
Not trice
For she won't listen 
To my advice

She lives all her life
Bowing to images
And worshiping all the vanities

Thinking she is blessed
And will go to heaven
Now she perishes like a chicken
And she is soon forgotten

I...

Set Up a Council
There is something about a suicide bombing
That to me is quite alarming
What really was their actual intent?
And also message they may have meant.

Both killing as well as bodily harm
Has the whole world up in alarm
What will we all have to do next?
This is my message...

Blessed Is He Who Walks Not In the Council of the Ungodly
Blessed is he, who walks not in the
 counsel of the ungodly.
Nor seeks counsel in their
 "wisdom" or folly.

Blessed is he, that doesn't stand 
in the way of sinners too.
Nor takes part in the things
 that scorners do.

Blessed is he, who deilghts in 
obeying God's...

Premium Member Before the Council
The elders, scribes, met in Jerusalem
With Caiaphas and Annas, priests as well.
When Peter, John arrived, were asked to tell
The power used or name declared by them,

Then Peter, with the Holy Spirit filled,
Said, “If we are to be examined here,
The means by which this man was...

White Elephants
I’m sure ratepayers everywhere
Are aware of the many dangers
Of the cronyism to be found
At their local Council chambers

They build useless monuments
That will never make a buck
For vanity projects of all kinds
To feed egos run amok

All paid for by the taxpayer
Whilst roads and water are forgot
Common...
