Best Dissensions Poems
The innocent criminalized, chased down with pitchforks and torches of fire. Their names dragged through the mire, by the hair, stripped of their humanity.
Meanwhile the guilty cheer with cash and jewels, with measured feet on the demonic beat. The guilty drinking the blood of the kind, like wine.
Headlines say: “God is dead,” “No one’s watching,” “The law is what we say it is.”
Will we be sorrowful for such as these when the armies of God, with Christ at the lead, tread with grapes of wrath?
God’s fruit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control.
Works of the flesh: sexual immorality, moral impurity, promiscuity, idolatry, sorcery, hatred’s, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, drunkenness, carousing, …the practice of such things.
Turn! Repent! The suffering will relent for the innocent. The bloodguilty will be paid with unquenchable suffering. Still there is time to turn and repent. See what a good God we have. He truly loves. None of us deserve anything from his hands and yet he offers everything. Why cling to a temporary offering when you can obtain glory?! We are tested and tried. Turn and repent!

Word-painting, they say; or painting with words,
In charm, it's charmer than most charming birds;
Feeling, for many, is its first foundation,
Expression, in words, brings affirmation;
Sentiment and muse must fondly marry,
Verses should flow-grand rhymes and rhythms carry...!
Does my work, yet, picture of life portray?
Do all colors intertwine, like sun-ray?
Do joys evade the scene when pains flourish?
Does bliss its jubilant psyche nourish?
Do feelings of fear, anger and surprise,
Find: it's impossible to compromise...?
What's the inner-flow of my florid words?
Are they merely beautiful flocks of birds?
Flimsy butterflies that flutter around?
Cats, rats, geese, cattle and horrible hound?
Do beasts of the woods and reptiles well-blend?
With their hitting and killing stories end...?
Do they paint pictures of human struggle?
Or stop just with some selected snuggle...!
The deaf, dumb, blind and the lame, who, in calm,
Add, to this futile life, tremendous charm...?
Young, and old who're, forever, deserted,
In my poems, with honor, inserted...?
Composing poetry, is not mere fun,
A divine mission, with this, is inter-spun;
Painting of actual facts should pave way,
Toward opening of a small headway;
Life without struggles is unfeasible,
Dissensions, yet, could be made peaceable...!

From the time of Pentecost to now;
People have formed many denominations.
Searching for truths that are sound doctrine;
Denominations were formed due to dissensions.
God is the Father. God is the Son. And God is
The Holy Spirit Where the Father is not the
Son nor the Holy Spirit. The Son is not the
Father nor the Holy Spirit And the Holy
Spirit is not the Father nor the Son.
The unity of God in three persons,
Known as The Hoty Trinity;
God is calling us ls himself to be in perfect unity.
Shema: Hear O Israel for God is one.
Christ as the head of The Spiritual Church;
True Christians worship in Spirit and Truth.
God teaches us through the HoIy Bible;
Love builds the body of Christ, The Holy
Spirit-filled Christians, to become Holy
And perfect pleasing to God.

I love when people speak their mind
I'd rather not be guessing
I may not care for what they say
Or points they are professing
But as long, as there's respect
Void of all pretension
I agree to disagree
With them and their dissensions
Should that make them enemies
I hope that's never true
For, we need each others thoughts
To help expand our views
If I should seem to say a word
To cause anger in their eyes
I hope they do, what I've learned do
And just let it ride on by

so called judgement,
majority people focus on
what offend them the most and
they don't think about the pains of God
when He sees them
going against Him.
Many preachers said," racism is bad,
God hate it."
Some people were offended about the speeches
of some preachers ; they forgot the feelings of the Lord.
Some preachers were demonised for speaking the truth.
Yoh! Devil has captured many people,
Yes! Who can deny that?
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immortality, impurity and debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft; hatred , discord , jealousy, fits of rage , selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, and envy; drunkenness , orgies, and the like. I warn you , as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Galatians 5: 19-22
Who loves you the most between a person
who is encouraging you to endure in doing wrong things and the one who is assisting you to quit them
so you may enter the KINGDOM OF GOD?
Answer is clear: the preacher who abets
you to quit wrong deeds loves you so much.
You may love him " her" and
continue focusing on God's Word.
Remember that aiding someone to quit
wrong deeds it is not called " JUDGEMENT."

he panted heavily
muscles twitching in his naked body
running frenzied, without looking back,
he shouted, “He is after me.... my life”
a rip roaring cry....!
the traffic halted
pedestrians stopped
people from shops came out
women through curtained windows peeped
children stopped their play
“so drunk”.... a man murmured
“A crack”.... someone shouted
“coming right after an orgy”
sneered, an oldie...
“pity on him...! Take him to an asylum”
one gentleman suggested.
he needs help, majority opined
‘nab this plague’, the moral police quipped
what is he running from...?
an assailant....?
corona virus....?
his own phantom...?
two sane men staying,
at a corner wondered.
they had masks on their face
“must be a health worker”..!
one of them said...
“yes, the subtle nuances of a cracked mind”
the other agreed!
as the scene on the road,
had grown into a high voltage drama,
dissensions grew and multiplied!

He plays the chords with his blue depression
still searching for true loves heart expression
Though there is praise for this worlds celebrity
true satisfaction from there will never be
There those extol the merits of your voice
or the fantasy of ones visionary choice
ones merit to run with company so grand
or be courtesan to the leader of the band
Can such a person ever truly see
be freed from the snares of this society
reject philosophy and understanding realize
seek for all the truth and for its prize
The concept of purity can he ever hold
reject the hype that these teachings sold
escape the prison of pride and vanity
the pursuits of the world and its insanity
All of these issues we have had to face
the system is designed for humanities disgrace
liquids full of poison forced ingestion sup
the table of corruption with its broken cup
Oh how the gold of vanity has shined
and its thought adulterated and unrefined
the glitter of those lies have truth polluted
with the leaven of the religions instituted

Gal 5
19 The works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
Rev 22
12 “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

Sometimes plans just go awry
Despite your best intentions.
Then you rally and you try
Assorted interventions.
You could shrivel up and die
From all the added tensions,
But to do so would defy
The normative conventions.
It’s a waste to wonder why
There have to be dissensions.
Life is likely to supply
Dilemmas and detentions.
So the thing to do is sigh
And focus your attentions
On ways for you to pacify
Your growing apprehensions.

He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.
John 15:2 NIV
Thank you Christ
For you created a way
That we might be grafted
Into the living tree
Mold and prune me
Unto the being you died for
All my limbs that grow away
From the light in the wrong direction
Cut off to discard for nothing good
Would come from it
Just let me be a small branch in the living tree
Being feed from the living water
That will create a fruit that is good
To reflect the guidance of the caretakers
Hard work, tears and continuous support.
For Him to see the joy and happiness in His creation
The fruit that comes from His tree of life.
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Home should be made a place of love
A stable shelter from all storms of life
Within the walls of a happy home, I avow,
There will be no room for spite or strife
Where all live in the spirit of peace as dove
A place to turn to when heavy with care
The love received there is balm to every scar
An abode to which, after tedious toil, we happily retire
A simple dwelling with not even a palace, on par
Where, in joys and sorrows, all have an equal share.
A home is more than a roof above our head
But a haven where all dissensions disappear
Where each one is bound by love’s thread
And the river of life runs smooth and clear
Where God is revered, and prayers are said

Quintain (Sicilian)
Impressions of the waif, the overload
dissensions allocate ~ insolvent, told
are they that wile and wait
the other's strode!
While time be not incumbent
~ is not old,
to front concerns, not slumber
~ must unfold!
My life is not assunder
~ with grief's hold,
or looks for daily number
~ towards greed's gold!
The Now ~ my master's rumble
~ speaks, implodes
it's to my feet ~ the jumper
~ must explode
God's call remerits wonder
~ my unmold!

I saw end the mirror pensive consideration, help us Lord
Destroyed spirits of my generation dissensions, help me Lord
How long, lonely I mourned the musing. Lord help us
Down, down, down into the darkness of the missing, Help them Lord
Gently it goes - the brooding, the broody, the unthoughtful.
Trapped within wrong choices Inter-vision
I hear the spiritual indication of my generation screaming,
How I mourned the manifestation that they were dreaming.
Are you upset by how sacred they were?
Does it tear you apart to see the manifestation so immaterial?
Just like a contemplative system, is the meditation?
Are you upset by how demonic it is?
Does it tear you apart to see the meditation so ungodly?
Destroyed spirits of my generation dissensions,
Now you to mourn the manifestation they were dreaming.
Pay attention the condemnations,
the musing is the most pensive consideration of all.
A musing is wistful. Amusing is ruminative,
a musing is sad, however.
How happy is the spiritual manifestation!
Some repented and miss the condemnation
Alleluia
A manifestation is unworldly. A manifestation is immaterial,
a manifestation is incorporeal, however.
I cannot help but stop and witness those sincere meditations.
Forgiven for those bad choices, We hear the voices
We hear those voices of the reborn, saved ones…Now we’re all elated

Dramatic Monologue
Encrypted liturgies time-honoured fascinations....
Aside these contiguous rivers of resoundings ~
Tintinnabulating endemics adorned amid the amulets of
Unilaterals ornate tidings enchanting chimes
If one so seeks to find....
This paean charm beyond their own eyes then
Whom can truly say until all has been told?!
Pacifism; universalism; factions; subcultures; dissensions towards
A sunflowers hopeful dreams thus held amid these
Softened petals of such fragrant love ~
Betwixt the ever present shadows wherein, they grow....
Realms casting senses and, who is wrong and who is right!?

It is the season
Buck up that chin and break-out that grin
Remember-not your sins but those that are your friends
A new year is almost here
Forget your dissensions and others' transgressions
The time is to begin-again,
And think-not what could have been

Has it gone away from God's hand?
Has it become a no man's land?
Capital city of Ukraine,
Wherein citizens under pain;
Think of its flourishing glory,
As center state of industry;
Institutions and history,
Educational mastery;
Abiding near river Dnieper,
Rich and vast in infrastructure;
Caught in chains of dead dissensions,
Lost in indefinite tensions;
Russia does constant shell-gaming,
Toward dreadful damage, aiming;
Promises of heads not matching,
Neighbors, like cats on walls, watching;
Kyiy, like pond in storms, is muddled,
Kith and kin try to stand cuddled;
Putin plays the role of Nero,
Zelenskyy, yet, is the hero...!
