Best Defeating Poems
See, the tomb is empty,
Lord Jesus is alive,
Defeating darkness, death,
He has risen again ~
We breathe eternal breath;
See, the tomb is empty,
Christ has resurrected,
In Him, hope is renewed,
We have forever life ~
Through death, death He subdued;
See the tomb is empty,
Messiah magnified,
Seated on God’s right hand,
Evermore in heaven ~
We’ll see him on that strand.

Defeating the Brutality
In a civilized world where people,
Even share the grief of their enemies
And write Poems and Songs
When they are in pains and
Are surrounded by sorrowful happenings.
The soldiers of Pakistan army
Have beheaded the Indian soldiers
In disguise and have eloped
In the darkness of cowardice.
What a bravery they have shown
Making a mockery of Geneva Convention
As, such human aspects
Have no meaning for such an army
Which believes in brutal killings only.
My nation is shocked and
The world is bewildered
To see this brutal act of cowardice
But those who have done this
Barbaric act
Are laughing in their dark chambers
As they believe in
Barbaric cruelty and
A denial of such acts
As not accepting a things
Is the best remedy
To befool the world.

There where the light does not touch
where few things grow and fewer still live
a glimmer of hope, a storm does brew
a river that sails itself to deep sea
life into death, death to unknown
Fields bathed in sunlight
golden harvest awaits
sing a song of bronze grain
blown by winds of fate
in the autumn of life
A ship sails from yonder
a distant shape growing near
a welcome voyage waits me there
where fruit trees stand tall
and bees sing through flowers
Why do we go around seeking each others frowns?
You’ve got to let go of preconceptions to make friends down town.
Begrudge no man his time in hand.
A little known something isn’t enough to go around.
Attentively looking out of glasses that make the world seem round
Don’t get caught up in the hold down wearing dressing gowns.
Wino’s and dino’s keeping flies down
Jumping hoops and flying coops keep the whining clowns
And in the end you must look for a hand
Underneath there’s so much going around
There’ll be no more sighing and lying down on the ground
And oh 'shoot' you say it was me who was found
And it’s all going to be ok when they take you away
Yes it’s all going to be ok on your final day
An end to tears and frantic breath
Let it go until there’s nothing left.
And it’ll be ok when it all goes away
No one can have a final day
With tears of joy I’ll hear you say
Let it go until there’s only peace left.
In Defeating You, I Slay The World You Live In
Stoning you, I slay you , cut into you
with hatred in my rapid surging heart
Such is very deserved and more is due
I try to break your body all apart
As you cry for sweet mercy try to think
you that lived and wallowed in darkest sin
Gleefully you drove me into the brink
as you grew the hate that I once lived in
Beg, graven coward for any relief
as I break another bone for sweet joy
Deriding my every moral belief
claimed power over me as a mere boy
You shame me so, my dark and evil twin
I defeat you, sink the world you live in
R. J. Lindley, 1973

There are soft whispers only I can hear
coming from shivers deep within my soul,
"Save me from that which I most fear.
Hostility around us that we can't control."
My heart beat more rapidly in its confusion.
Though sheltered, I couldn't decrease its pace.
The world continues to proliferate delusion ~
cause for the woeful state of the human race.
Brutish rulers sit on pedestals as their throne
while innocents must claw in the dirt to survive.
Where is another David who will hurl the stone,
to free my heart and soul and keep hope alive?
The scream assaults my ears,
rips open my heart.
I catch Petunia, fat cat hunter,
and snatch the baby bunny
from her mouth.
Strong and determined,
she jumps free,
goes after her prey.
Repeatedly, I force
Petunia's jaws open
to release the terrified bunny.
On the third try, my grip holds.
Baby bunny flees
toward the distant tree line,
tiny legs pumping
like mechanical pistons.
Petunia sulks,
tail switching in anger.
I breathe a sigh of relief.
"He'll come back," hubby says, smiling,
"when he's grown,
and eat your flowers."
1: Draw your sword in your house, with your thumb over your index finger, and plunge it into the wall to test your might
2: Put on the armour of God, with the tight belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness without fright
3. Do not focus on only one object, but keep all things in your cloudless mind and in your eyes’ natural sight
4. Have a position without a position, so your sword will not be in a position confined
5. Examine your terrain, your earth of faith, water of hope, air of love, and light of gnosis. Keep these things in mind
6. Control the situation, guide your vices to a corner where they are confined and you are free
7: Have the piercing sun behind you, blinding Yaldabaoth, and giving your soul a clear-cut view of the world to see
8: When unsureness clouds your opponent, strike with lightning, without moving flesh or fixing your sight
9. Stomp his sword quickly with thunder for divine victory, when you see the pattern. Do this without any fright
10. Do this, and become one who shatters Yaldabaoth’s misty strength without raising your sword, or your might
Inspired by The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi (a Japanese swordsman and philosopher)
Defeating Fear
I defeat my fear by facing it head on,
with shoulders squared, firmly back,
I seek to beat the norm.
I dissect every perfect fact,
and look at where the fear resides,
with shoulders squared, firmly back.
With little steps, I make great strides
to learn this enemy,
and look at where the fear resides.
Pursuing with all rapidity
the very thing that has chased me,
to learn this enemy.
In quick of time I’ll surely be,
master of my greatest fear.
The very thing that has chased me.
So it is with things that cause me tears.
I defeat my fear by facing it head on.
Master of my greatest fear,
with shoulders squared, firmly back.

I wouldn't send the army,
I'd send Judge Judy.
" The tree wishes for calm but the wind will not subside...."
Chinese saying
This is an observation which rings true to me
The harsh winds of mortality
The winds of broken love affairs
The real wind of the winter
There are some escapes from this which I will list here:
Music
Good TV
Theatre
Good films
a good poetry reading
I am sure all of you are familiar with the winds I am speaking of
It is my fervent hope
that
the winds
don't harm you and your loved ones
Winter is coming
Hopefully not the winter of your souls
Dark clouds
overhead
as fear and
worry
cloud the
sky
The inner self
is threatened
by dark demons
The sweet rain
of sexuality
and light cutting through
the clouds
will help to
defeat the demons
those inside as well as
those outside
As the sky becomes clear
and the dark clouds become
no more than a memory
We can once
more feel
the warmth if
the sun
We can once more
experience
peace
After the long, long
night of our souls
We view the light
shining on the waters
Even though we
don't fully understand
why joy has come
We welcome the change
And watch thin
wisps of dark clouds
being blown away
they recede
into the distance
Our confidence
returns
and we face
the future with
shining eyes
DEFEATING DEFEAT
By: Sikolwethu Mthethwa
This is not the end...
Until time packs his bags in readiness to leave,
we will proudly walk this land.
to she and he who have thrown in the towel,
this is the message I want to urgently send.
It is the birth-child of a solitary mind,
it has been cast out to the world and has become
everyone's treasure to find.
In the very midst of our darkest hour
be defiant and proudly refuse to let your heads lower.
Depict the resilience of our kind.
Show them the unspoken power of the black child.
Our race has lived, through trial and error we have learned,
the bragging rights to be labelled human we have earned.
We are well on our way to the very pinnacle of our existence,
with us we have an impenetrable shield dubbed perseverance.
We were given this Earth.
Greatness was coded and embedded into our genetics even before birth.
Though the names of our ancestors were dragged in the dirt,
we are here to undo centuries of suffering and hurt.
Warn the opposition,
let them know we will play our position.
We will play our position until we have prosperity,
until mother Earth weeps no more and we have restored her serenity.
My heart has been torn..My mind assulted; Yet the dust it
Is settling, red dirt; black earth; almost grey bulldust.' I am
In my dreaming.' Deep yet alert.' I'm singing in tune, to the
Creak of existence's ancient harmony; Kukaburra calls out

Defeating Tyranny
This is how to overthrow tyranny:
elections by a free people who care
peaceful transfer of power
alternative media outlets to counter brainwashing
decreasing the size of government
ridding a society of mandates by unelected officials
stopping demonization of average citizens
halting massive monetary corruption
short of divine intervention
this is how it is done
it is difficult~ many obstacles to freedom exist
that will try to maintain power:
a biased dishonest media
a bloated bureaucracy
an oligarchy of the defeated who want to retain power
unconstitutional judicial power
Nazi style thugs who like to commit violence
it is a tough row to hoe
no guarantees that it will work but
if enough people care it might work
