#One should be cautious in starting a war, but
once begun, it should be carried out thoroughly#
#Quote by Hirohito circa Dec 1942#
Onslaught
As little boy fell over Hiroshima,
a demigod dismayed how it grew
Into a fat man above Nagasaki,
Hirohito said, so I’m the devil too
Both are one, and the same person,
to say otherwise is splitting atoms
When two suns appear overhead,
an emperors duality, cannot fathom
And necessary evil is a dubious sin,
willpower making its choice that day
Expedience worked saving millions
I’m firmly on the side of Enola Gay
Reckoning came, not a flash in the pan
for marching POWs to death, at Bataan
Also, Pearl harbour, Iwo Jima, Guam
Midway, Okinawa, Tarawa, and Saipan
Job’s done, the mission accomplished
a time to celebrate, peace be strong
our conscience does not need absolution
obliterated by belief, we did no wrong
Little Boy/Fat man, US code names
for the atomic bombs in WW2

Seems I awakened within a dream flying, though staying within
the dream, as an eagle I soared. With wings of immense importance
not to miss a journey, into the great cosmos. I did coast with
consummate ease, where ever it pleased, the nature of my thoughts.
My thoughts were master of my flight in spite, of the area of human
doubts. Past the lunar divide, expansions parallel into the golden waves
and particles of light. Soaring the benefit, of starlit universe around
the milky way, I swayed, a part of the paranormal of it all; then I heard
a rumbling voice as if clearing a throat.
Of this author’s spoken words, I will spurge, some of development within
my dismissal free of any feelings of poor human mind. Human mind laid
aside, within ample bosoms’ peace I did reside, as the absolute testified
having none greater than of infinity's assets to enjoy.
My Host said, ”I am the first and the last, no part of me is of the past,
nor of the future logic of any human project. I have given of myself
to everything, the planets, the stars, the sun and the moon.
My power and beauty is unfettered, secured for, if revered,
for the paranormal expanse of humans who advance by any
moral degree.”
Furthermore, Host said, “There is coming of the human logic a dread,
where the rubber meets the road, a retread. A recompense of the
offence must be bled, though love regrets to collect it has damages.”
These were encouraging words, "as by my thoughts", an eagle I soared,
through the midnight starlight I steered as my conscience cleared. Eagle
led off, "by my thoughts", to my bed. Quite confident I laid my soul upon
my bed. Although the human mind frayed by this expedience I promise
that I was awake all this time, without any human mistake!
For Debbie Guzzi Contest: Flying
quatrain with anapestic trimeter
Jesus Christ, holy God, pardons sin;
I give praise and respect to the Christ.
His good grace as I ask - is a win
since for His love, no price would suffice.
In no way does no price mean no cost.
For God’s mercy's a gift He presents.
Left unopened, this present is lost
for eternity – wasted expense.
The real cost for our Lord was His blood;
lives redeemed, sinners suffer no loss.
And our God sends His Spirit to flood
the new life with the pow'r of the cross.
Sin's a breach between man and his God.
He deserves no mere shallow embrace.
No believer with simply a nod
understands the full cost of His grace.
When we forfeit expedience, how
does a friendship with God e'er begin?
Jesus Christ wants obedience now
unto God, the Forgiver of sin.
Hear this proverb and wonder thereof,
A friend's worth, your intent and its end.
Hear it well, "There is NO greater love
than to lay down your life for your friend.”
John 15:13
To never letting voting be enough,
And not abuse the priv’lege of convenience;
To stop excess and live within yourself,
Denying all your loved luxuriance;
To not await for change that must become
In revolution-based expedience;
To hearken for the age that is to come,
To live in Civil Disobedience.
Mystic Rose's Poem
Stars Are Our Link To The Great Beyond And God Himself
I watch the splendor of a shooting star
and breathe the beauty of a hum-guitar
Her light
in flight
is like a million lanterns on a cooling night
I dream awhile beneath the tarp of heaven
then close my eyes & slowly count to seven
I wish in true
for souls renew
and soon I’m covered in night’s dew
I loose the mind and pry his realm
it`s an expedience of God’s mystic dream
When free
I see
the beauty of his creation for all eternity
I watch the splendor of a bird in flight
and breathe the beauty of a blessed night
His wings
they sing
to me of freedom, and all a night can bring;
If only we can learn to sing
Like a Cardinal on a string!

My Answer...
I see the shooting star fall from the sky
and hear the melody of a guitar drift by
Strings played
I prayed
until the pitch night sky faded and grayed.
I counted the stars and fell into peaceful sleep
dreaming of my Shepherd. I, one of His sheep
His mercy mild
I am His child
in a perfect world where no one is beguiled
My mind sees the wonders of His new world
where love among everyone will be unfurled
Paradise waits
where no one hates
there'll be no more sickness and death abates
I wake to the beauty of dawn's early beams
and recall the mystic splendor of my dreams
I am so blessed
to be possessed
of my unyielding faith, which I've expressed
For those who are tired of feeling stressed
God will end the struggles of the oppressed

As Starlight Falls Answer
All from this promise that renews
God's light spills forth to claim it's due
when curtains rise
from darkened skies
warmth returns and starlight dies
Dreams awake to breathe the light
with sounds of life that takes to flight
as song birds sing
in praise to bring
all honor to this new day's king
To rise and walk in peaceful bliss
with all this wonder none should miss
from thee
to be
of heart that all this world might see
In wisdom may each soul possess
a knowledge earned from nothing less
than God's own hand
that grants this man
a will to understand
If one could but recall the words
from songs of love the starlight's heard

I gaze at the approaching thunderstorm
and inhale the earthly scent of rainstorm
Her tears
as spears
is like a million blows on human fears
I ponder awhile beneath the lit-up sky
then words start rolling & a prayer is sent up high
I wish for peace
for all fighting to cease
and then the sky beckons with shades of cerise
I loose the heart and soul on mankind
it's easy to lose faith without God's sign
When lost
we toss
the beauty of his creation for lust and greed
Then I witness the miracles of life stories
coincidences that appear and save lives
His wisdom
for our kingdom
is unfathomable for our limited visions
If only we can soar with his visions
Like an eagle on a wind's rhythm!

The Story of Adam and Eve
Is all well and good and fine,
It marks the frailties of each sex
Without really trying.
First of all it shows the Love of our Creator,
The One, the Good, the True, the Beautiful,
And the deviousness of the Hater.
Antithesis of Love and Justice; a traitor.
The story of Adam and Eve
Is all well and good and fine.
It marks the frailties of each sex
Without really trying.
In our selfish disobedience
we are the very same today,
In our sinful expedience
to get our own way.
Adam was created first,
the woman as an ad lib.
Because Adam was lonely for his own kind
God formed her from his rib.
Well, they were doing just fine
Until one day the serpent said “Eve
You want to be like God, I believe.”
She said yes that would be fine.
So she gave Adam a tempting plausible line,
And he apathetically joined in the sinful crime.
Didn’t want to make any waves, you know,
After all he had his seeds to sow.
And so we see how they fared
Still, woman always shooting for control
The man timid and scared.
The snake laughing in his hole.
So men, before you succumb to so called feminists
and both sexes spend eternity crying…
Remember, ..God only gave her your rib…
so please,.. take back your spine.
I watch the splendor of a shooting star
and breathe the beauty of a hum-guitar
Her light
in flight
is like a million lanterns on a cooling night

then close my eyes & slowly count to seven

for souls renew
and soon I’m covered in night’s dew
I lose the mind and pry his realm
it`s an expedience of God’s mystic dream
When free
I see
the beauty of his creation for all eternity
I watch the splendor of a bird in flight
and breathe the beauty of a blessed night
His wings
they sing
to me of freedom, and all a night can bring;
If only we can learn to sing
Like a Cardinal on a string!

As sure as the sun rises in the morn
And dewdrops at the break of day are born
God loves
All doves
Even those not sent from heaven above
His great love so powerful and awesome
Stirs each flower and tree in spring to blossom
He holds
And moulds
The universe as each second it fully unfolds
Contained is each molecule by the cross
He holds all by His action, removes all dross
Power
Showers
Rain down on believers; He's their strong tower
Why would any reject His so great love
Given freely on that cross to each dove
Blinded
Minded
Seem to stay lost, though constantly reminded
Could there be a revival now
Will you before him humbly bow

To see creation from afar
its subtle tails from flaming star
its burning flight
sky so bright
disappears in brilliant white
A wistful dream beneath round sky
with deeper breathe from endless sigh
truth it tends
soul it mends
night engulfs, dreams it sends
Reasons sought for life that's sown
beautiful soul you've never owned
understand
without demand
creation's born from spiritual hand
To see the splendor of Angel's wings
sacred night that always sings
to free your soul from its earthly belt
like a night birds song your heart has felt

Mantle--a fluid shelf that cradles all existence;
Soil--a table that nurtures all subsistence
Flora--a cultivated canvas that neutralizes resistance;
Fauna--a habituated benefactor of indulgence.
Wind--a mysterious force of ambivalence,
Dispersing seed and spore with diligence.
Fondling cloak that cools with benevolence;
Powerful menace that uproots with violence.
Fire, generative force imbuing hearth with resilience;
A temporal light that provides luminescence.
Warming incubator, glowing candescence,
Brooding killer scorching with indifference.
Water--a random discharge of providence.
A vast reservoir of expedience.
An enervating stream that fuels with prescience;
An extractor that disperses with each recurrence.
Immutable elements with primordial affluence;
Material objects manipulated for human ascendence.
I DREAMT A DREAM LAST CENTURY
I Dreamt a Dream Last Century,
That babies were forsaken in the name of expedience.
That borders were shut in the nation of hospitality.
That music faded beneath the strident silence of apathy.
And that all hope was lost.
I Dreamt a Dream Last Century,
That men manipulated the hatred of a nation, to blind babies to justice.
That women cared only for themselves.
That pastors preached hell fire in the name mercy.
And that all hope was lost.
I Dreamt a Dream Last Century,
That a wind from the east formed like a whisper.
I Dreamt a Dream Last Century,
That a wind from the east like a whisper began to awaken minds and manifest
rhymes and take the reins to a glorious revolution.
I Dreamt a Dream Last Century,
That a wind from the east caught hold of a generation and we said in
unison, “NO MORE!”
Amen.
