Best Nowise Poems
A symbol of vulnerability
with implausible durability;
master at misrepresentation,
a bolster of modernization.
Praised for its lucidity,
nowise for its amorphicity;
such is human disposition,
seldom beholding composition.
A motif of permanence,
marking time’s impermanence.
Encapsulating sand and time,
an hourglass, marking life’s chime.
Made to be admired,
Only to be called 'uninspired’.
Its perspicuity appreciated by the unaware;
coloured, its vibrance ready to ensnare.
Weened to be understood and known,
yet, only misunderstood and unknown;
for such is the mystery of glass,
unable to be deciphered in a single pass.
Shattered and broken oft,
only to be restored aloft,
never seeming to age;
such is beauty when taken from an age-old page.
Behind us, lay five millennia of innovation.
Ahead, shall lie an eternity of appreciation;
for it is important lessons that we learn,
when observing Nature and her glassy urn.
Altruist stands against Egoist,
Against his own life stands;
Red with blood his eyes are,
Plucked by his selfless hands.
___________________________
Altruist follows the leader,
Who knows not where to go,
But down into lifeless darkness
Where all false leaders go.
______________________________
Altruist follows ruts and hollows of selfless service worn;
Altruist bellows to his fellows, "Cowards we are born".

Altruist bending in faith ne'er ending to death is sending his prayers befriending;
Death, receiving, is nowise grieving, but laughs in reaping the self-deceiving.

Altruist kneels, pounds head on floor;
Egoist stands, a beast no more.
Father wants you to be brave,
He wants you to be bold,
Come with courage to His word,
Grab on and take hold!
Once you’ve got yourself in Him,
And He in you, You will find that in His love
There is nothing you can’t do!
This is the power of love and truth!
Oh the freedom, power, and light,
And courage to stand tall beside,
The One who gave all His life,
For all those who abide, in His delight!
Father’s Gift of Holy Spirit to guide you,
And blessings to freely give unto,
All those who enter into,
His way, through His covenants, which lift you.
Father commandeth all, everywhere,
To have faith in His Son, repent,
Be baptized, and graciously receive,
The confirming Gift of His Holy Spirit, sanctified.
Become as a little child, or ye can in nowise,
Enter into God’s glorious kingdom prize.
This is the core of Christ’s doctrine,
Built on the rock of revelation.
To learn what you must do,
And all that’s required of you,
Go often to God’s words, pray, study,
Ponder, and ask in faith and truth.
"There is no God," says the fool in his heart:
Dreadful, depraved, nowise good, even part.
The LORD looks down on the children of man,
sees if they seek him, if they understand.
Corrupt, all have turned aside, everyone
there is none who does good, not even one.
Of Him, no knowledge, not even a shred.
They eat up His people as they eat bread,
snubbing their peril, blind to the terror;
God's with the righteous, not those in error.
O man, you who shame the plans of the poor,
do you not perceive? The LORD will restore.
When, LORD, salvation? When will it be had?
Let Jacob rejoice, Israel be glad!
