Best Effective Poems
Faith is the tethered ball on the play park
Tiny, but effective
Serving its ultimate purpose day in and day out
Faith is the connective tissue
The bond that controls the domino effect
A gamble with the possibility of winning big
The ball bounces uncontrollably,
But has never met the likes of the bottom
Tiny but effective
He was locked inside his own mind
searching for the key to freedom
that he'd never find.
Daily struggles led to addictions.
He fought the devil while he prayed to God
"tell me what's real and what is fiction."
Loneliness ate at him every day.
He wondered what he'd done
to chase them all away.
He was afraid to close his eyes
so he dare not go to sleep,
else the devil heard his cries.
His Mama told him about a savior
who could take his pain away,
so he put his faith in God
and he accepted Christ that day.
At the bottom of the bottle, he finally found rest.
Now all his Mama can do is pray,
that God had mercy when he took his final breath...
Dedicated to my son, with love, Mama
It will take time
to phase out oil-based
technology people from
the oil industry
Could also be used
creating, pipelines
building desalination
plants o get water
Into the mountains
means plenty of work
for people
Imagine all the pipelines
you would have to create
Granted if we started today
with rich people buying electric cars
it would take time for that technology
To filter down to the poor
granted you all want jobs
you all want healthy economies
take time to change
Take time to adapt to change
create plans that include the needs
of all people God created
a balanced world
where nature had the ability
to clean the air
and create a stable environment
in reclaiming arad lad
spreading plants into places
they couldn't reach
in growing trees on mountains
that where arad before
you would be giving nature
the chance to heal the world
at one time the human race
through faeces into the street
urine and faeces in the street
created the breeding ground
for the plagues smallpox
and many more
The world looked at God and blame him
but in truth, it was their fault
they changed, they build toilets
they build sewage systems
They learned about viruses
they built hospitals
they started scrubbing hands
they overcame their pollution problem
now we face another pollution problem
one man's problem
is another man's challenge
working together
We can overcome
these problems
accepting climate change
is the first step
building plans
taking time to effect change
helping people in a job transition
there is plenty of work for people
if we use our brains
to make effective plans
God Told Me That I Need Effective Prayer!
God told me, in order for my prayer to be effective.
That I should not choose to be so “selective.”
I asked him: “what do you mean by this question?”
I wasn’t quite prepared for the reception!
God said; “You’ve chosen to be selective in how you live.”
“There’s only so much, to me, that you want to give!”
“You said that I’m your Lord, by your way of living.”
“But a life of holiness, is what you’re not giving.”
“You want the prayer answered,
but have nothing to show for it.”
“You claim to accept my grace,
but aren’t willing to share it.”
“How can I answer your prayer,
when it’s only convenient?”
“Haven’t I been patient with you?”
“And most lenient?”
“Give up all that you have, and give it to the poor!”
“Then you’ll know what prayer life is really meant for!”
“Give me your heart!” “And take time to really listen!”
“There’s so much more of me, that you’ve been missin’!”
“Obey my words and experience the life I have given!”
“Know what it means to be cleansed and forgiven!”
“Than your life will change, and your prayer time too!”
“I will give you the strength to make it through!”
“You will know what it means to spend time with me!”
“And your prayers will impact you for eternity!”

Cost Effective.
Norway was a poor country her main income came from shipping, those
who manned ships worked long hours, saw their families every two years.
A didactic system built around the trade, there was opportunity to go to
school and become an officer; back then it counted for dependability.
Oil was found in the North Sea, shipping, now less important and the flag,
seamen sailed under, became internationalised, this meant that seafarers
from abroad were hired to do our job for less pay. Men and officers were
thrown off their ships, an industry died. Few noticed or wrote about it.
The beginning of globalisation. When the middle classes too were sourced
out the people woke up, by then it was too late and land based industry too
collapsed. They said we priced ourselves out of work, not so shipping made
money, they wanted to make much more, as the financial thinking shifted,
wealth counted and not the duty towards an equal society. Maybe occupiers
of Wall Street have seen a light. Must we wait till Polish seamen are not cost
effective enough and it will be cheaper to hire us?

To be honest across this Earth's soils
Conflict and turmoil
That dates way back
Far before spacecrafts, state maps
Or being able to make cash
Opportunity don't waste that
Take a chance
Get on that A.S.A.P.
Before it goes down the drain fast
A long forgotten stash sat
By an abandoned hatchback
With broken and cracked glass
Cults and rituals, one of which is a black mass
Test conducted with lab rats
Some ships at a half-mast
I'm not affiliated with Aflac
Or Nasdaq
On social media, so much sad crap
And backlash
Like a toy dog some just want to yap yap
Even though there softer than a flap jack
Better watch yourself and bag back
Before we really see who has the last laugh
Went out in the wilderness to backpack
With a knapsack
Set up camp at an open grass flat (patch)
In specific things time and or money was invested
As far as recollected
The objective
Changed perspective
And all method within a second
During a time that was festive
It turned out to be effective
Yet unexpected
Certain areas and locations infested
Individual organisms infected

he engaged the endeavor
to be successful
they sited his past
successes
and marveled at
prospects each current condition
allowed
effectiveness and likability
began the outline
each move anticipates
an answer
each word was marked
by consequence
they listened to his every word
to downsize
the ego he had allowed to
follow him
his voice sounded across ages
and his body was wanted
in every corner of the world
they saw him as a means of
recreating the image of masculinity
from endeavor to endeavor
his showmanship has been measured
and his value equated
those who wish to be apart of him
in work, must see him as an
endeavor
quick and kind
right and real
wrong and understood
mean as a man should be
insight of creation
that his sperm is as wanted
as the air from his nature
effective his words
understood in every language
sought his talents
appreciated in every culture
wanted him as lover
adored in it's being
endeavor to endeavor
kind, mean, and clever
that all shall feel his presence
and speak of him
as champion
best in the world
the greatest of all time!
A mystery exists in my mind
Often we see leaders that are blind
Let us be one of a kind so that
We can understand that
The more effective we are the fewer titles we need!
Let us live in such a way that
Our first name is enough and that
We grow in the productivity of our name
We are much more than a required title!
In the confines of time the wave of mercy
Echoes more profound love!
The logic of error is hidden in plain sight
A certain measure of life must enter the darkness
Because an element of brokenness is set apart for an individual
A mystery exists in my mind
Often I see leaders that are blind
Let us be one of a kind so that
We can understand that
The more effective we are the fewer titles we need!

The love of Christ towards us
effecting us outside and in
realising it's all surpassing glory
moulding true righteousness from within
God's holy spirit working in His power
revealing in us true holiness
so basking in God's eternal love
knowing His ever living faithfulness
Blessed meditation on this love
so fully raptured on things above
waiting on Christ and His return
fitted for eternity in heaven's glove
While we are here being sanctified
being outwardly changed by the living vine
showing inner peace and joy pleasing to God
pursuing fruitfulness to the finish line
Effective love holy love
love divine defeating sin
meditate on such mercy
Jesus love seals us in
AUTHOR NOTES: "A realization of Christ's love towards us should affect us inwardly
and outwardly by meditating on such love."
deaf but with normal ears
blind yet with healthy eyes
crier though with sane mind
heart of stone in flesh and blood

The more effective we are the fewer titles we need!

There is an effective hunter
he hunts with no weapon
but captures with precision
and enjoys his catch in tones
disciplined mathematician he is
every meal and bones he keeps
skulls of prey he weighs daily
any stubborn animal in the bush
is invited to check the stock
and record census of victims
that were sent laughing away
inside dreaded motherland
An archer's arrow pierces its friendly target
with unprecedented precision
Traveling through the air
on a path of mechanical design
Possessing unique abilities
that transcend science and its defined parameters
The impact of the arrow reverberates throughout
inducing the sort of trepidation that fuels misplaced wrath
Ushering in an era of orchestrated decadence
and aggressive marginalization
Populations are pushed to the periphery of influence
Destined to endure an infringement on their humanity
Coerced and intimidated
by the archer masquerading as a Guardian
How do you think Scheherazady
Would incorporate her body
To spice up those tales and keep enticed
That potentate?
She would ges-tic-u-late.
Aladdin could have faced disaster,
But the djinn said to his master,
"I've three wishes I can grant
But can't articulate
Lest you ges-tic-u-late."
In ancient Greece Olympian Zeus
Would turn his Titan anger loose,
And lightning bolts he'd throw to show
That how his wrath to demonstrate,
He would ges-tic-u-late.
Superheroes spend long hours
Developing their special powers
Of strength and speed that's unimpeded,
So they wear costumes both for show and to facilitate
When they ges--tic-u-late.
So, let me say here, as I wind up,
When you talk, just make your mind up,
To enhance your speech and diction,
Take a tip from folks in fiction,
Make your conversation great
And just ges-tic-u-late.
