Best Edom Poems


Untitled Part 1

i am the salt of the earth and the ocean 
i am the light that shines from within 
the inner cries behind facial emotions 
the darkness that is covered in skin 

i comprehend the appearance of freedom 
though i am chained to this earth 
i accept the mistakes of edom 
and understand my own worth 

i am a man in need of compassion 
just like any who filled his challice 
but my love runs thin like rations 
and ive thrown virtue over the ballast

my eyes swing low in the presence of a smile 
and ears ring numb to a laugh 
i havent the endurance to run deceptions mile 
nor the energy to last 

the light goes into submission 
and the darkness smothers the land 
evil comes out of submission 
and begins to reach out its hand 

it comforts carress and consoles 
it puts the mind and body at ease 
then it takes over in total control 
and kills like a malignant desease 

it works its way thought the canvas of life 
and disfigures the art that has been laid 
like the reavers who waunder the night 
they destroy everything made 

watchers.... they gaze with envy 
as the fallen plunder the earth 
the hearts of many become empty 
as the battle begins for the turf 

they possesse and dismember ... 
the body of the humankind 
they erase what we remember 
over the ages of time 

they manipulate truth.... 
by the twist of a word and the tongue 
and all that was ever accomplished 
was demolished before it it ever begun 

but time is a constant and never ceases to flow 
what we forget in time only time again can bestow

Selah=A Rock Fortress-The capitol city of Edom


I am a rock
I am no island
She was wrong
I belong
I am a Child Of God
and 1 with my friend
My Lord and savior
JESUS CHRIST
Now and forever
Until the end
I am not a part of
this world
this world is absurd

Premium Member My God, Thank You For Lifting Me Up

March 20 Scripture Meditations Based on 2Kings 14-17

Key Verse – 2Kings 14:10 Thou hast indeed smitten Edom, and thine heart hath lifted thee up: glory of this, and tarry at home: for why shouldest thou meddle to thy hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee? 

MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR LIFTING ME UP

Thank You for lifting me up from sinful failure
After forgiving my heart, repentantly demure
While cleansing me with Your purging censure 
Never pushing me toward the filthy and impure.

Thank You for lifting me up from guilty position
After receiving my acknowledgment of my corruption
While sanctifying me from deception 
Never driving me toward idolatry and abomination.

Thank You for lifting me up from frustrated becoming
After awakening my soul from worldly dreaming
While alerting me against humanism’s harming 
Never casting me toward vanity soaking and roaming.

Thank You for lifting me up from humiliating haughtiness
After seeking my mind midst rebelliousness
While reaching out to me in Your humility’s meekness 
Never thrusting me toward pride and arrogance stiffness.

Thank You for lifting me up from selfish downfall
After disciplining my will to give my all
While imprisoning me within Your loving wall 
Never shutting me toward self-glorifying and self-pitying hall.

Thank You for lifting me up from futile mediocrity
After teaching my spirit the need to learn for fruitful maturity
While instilling in me my part in biblical Christianity 
Never guiding me toward uncertainty and insecurity.

Premium Member The Immovable Love of God -Malachi 1: 1-5

God's chosen people were unfaithful
to the God they once loved but now left
how was God going to respond to this?
being rejected His right to use His fist

But God doesn't act like a man would do
He chose to love these people as His own
to adopt them making His love to abound
upon an unlovely imperfect people, He did atone

Then these people show their rejection
using accusatory language so rude
'How have you loved us?' they say
being rebellious against love totally good

God then shows His justice upon them
opposing Edom the people of Esau
allows them to fall into wickedness
His anger eternal to those spurned His law

But Christ came to select His own
for God's love spreads over all folk
all of Christ's life covers their rebellion
He gave His life to those who are broke

(The oracle of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.
“I have loved you,” says the Lord. But you say, “How have you loved us?” “Is not Esau Jacob's brother?” declares the Lord. “Yet I have loved Jacob but Esau I have hated. I have laid waste his hill country and left his heritage to jackals of the desert.”  If Edom says, “We are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins,” the Lord of hosts says, “They may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called ‘the wicked country,’ and ‘the people with whom the Lord is angry forever.’”  Your own eyes shall see this, and you shall say, “Great is the Lord beyond the border of Israel!”)

Malachi 1: 1-5 (ESV)

Premium Member Lilith

Wildcats and hyenas will hunt together, demons will scream to demons, [the lilith also shall settle there...] and creatures of the night will live among the ruins [of Edom]. ~Isaiah 34:14 CEV, Darby

Evil lies,
for Lilith you are
a demon's 
dire device,
sent straight from the devil's pit
to beguile fair Eve

and Adam;
the fools of Eden
fast succumbed 
to the lure
of your beauty, ignoring
the tongue of the snake

speaking God-
damned words of deceit;
Did God not
say you can
be like us if you eat from 
the tree? So eat, know

and follow
us, gain all knowledge
and wisdom;
beautiful
Lilith will be your one guide~
straight into hellfire

if only 
they'd known it, if ears
had listened
and heard it,
that God's pre-given love gift
was kinship with Him.

Donald Trump Plea

To Donald Trump who's free to speak,
the Press don't like your freedom.
Express yourself and call them out
with hopes you'll keep your edom.

The world has hopes you'll have your say.
Blast-Damn the politically correct.
To save the world some other way
would mean less to protect.

A vote for you should win our prize.
A man to claim we're free.
So go on Donald Trump and thrive
and do it for our plea.

Premium Member Poker

All cards are on the table
Esau holds kings and queens
His secular greatness is swift
Many chiefs reign in Edom

Jacob draws but two's and three's
His family lags behind in Egypt
Becoming slaves to Pharaoh
Is God playing the losing hand?

Small beginnings deceive
Spirtual greatness comes later
Demanding patience and faith
Until His Royal Flush appears

Jesus holds the Key of David
He is worthy to take the scroll
And to open its seals
Eclipsing secular greatness

His blood purchased for God
From every tribe and nation
A kingdom of priests to serve
And to reign on the earth

His last hand is winner-take-all
So, ask yourself this, 
"Do I really want to play poker
with Almighty God?"
