Jannes & Jambres cast their spell
On the ground their rods fell
Moses,brother did the same
In each rod a serpent became
Aaron's consumed them both,to verify God's oath

My Father's Blessing

My Father's Blessing (A Rondel)

His wrinkled hand would touch my head
And lift his eyes to the mountains:
He’d ask the Lord that I be blessed,
Have His peace and enough graces.

Excited, off I went with speed -
Lived world’s lies; drank turbid fountains.
His wrinkled hand would touch my head,
And lift his eyes to the mountains.

Late I understood this kind deed;
His hands asked for heavenly gifts; 
Unto me a Godly blessing flows.
Preserve her from harm, he would plead
And lift his eyes to the mountains.


7/28/14 
This is dedicated to my Father whose birthday is on August 2. Remembering 
also how he would bless me every time I am to leave home for school faraway 
from family. May his soul rest in peace and may he smile at his now big girl for 
he is well-pleased. :))
 “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, 
and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give 
you peace. “ Num. 6:24-26

Premium Member True Love Is Never Forgotten

I have never forgotten our love
And I will never forget it until I die
Many years of sorrow have passed
But the wound in my heart has never healed
  Remember the many kisses we exchanged
  Remember all the tears we shed
  The burning kisses and the scalding tears
  That to the depths of the sea have gone

I have not forgotten this love
How could you have forgotten it?
A love that bound us like a chain
A chain that can never be broken
  You still return to me in my dreams at night
  Before my eyes I see you every day
  How many sweet nights we passed together
  How cruel the destiny that has betrayed us.

No peace shall it find in the presence of God
This infamous cruel destiny that betrayed us
Infamous - cruel and heartless
That separated us for all eternity
  What remains is just your picture for remembrance
  I never grow weary of gazing upon it
  I kiss it, I bathe it with my tears, I hold it to my heart
  And weep for the sad ending of our love.

O Vera Ammore Non Si Scorda Mai

Numaggio mai scurdate e chesta ammore
E nummo scorde chiu' sino che' more
Sono passati tant'anni di dolore
E num si e' chiuse chiu' sta chiaga o core
  Ricordi quanti vase ce simmo date
  Ricordi quante lacrimo chiagnute
  Vase e fuoche e lacrime cucente
  Che tutte a funne o mare sene' so ghiute

Io non meso' scordate a chesta ammore
Tu comme tu putive mai scurda'
E' stato nammore troppo incatenato
Catene che nun si ponne mai spezza'
  Mi viene ancora nsuonno tutte e' notte
  Ti vego o iotnre nante all'uocchi miei
  Quante nuttate doce avimmo passate
  E penza e distino nfame che cia' tradute

Nun'anna trava' pace nanzi a dio
Chella nfama ca ci fece o trarimento
Nfame e scelleratee senza core
Ci fece sparte a nuie etermamente
  Me' remase o ritratto tuoi pe ricordo
  Nun me stancasso mai du guarda'
  O' vase o' bagne e lacrime mo strengo o' core
  E chigane a fine triste e checsta ammore.

I'Ll Never Forget the Black Death

I’ll never forget the Black Death.
It came from a germ which, lived on that fleas. 
Each second passes through everyone’s breath.
The fleas! The fleas!  
As the rats begin to die, the fleas begin to feed on humans
Everyone’s blood is, affected by the disease.
Oh please! Oh please!

I’ll never forget how the plague spread.
The Black Death is an infectious disease.
All around, it quickly fled.
These fleas carried bacteria and traveled in the rat’s fur.
When fleas drink the human’s and the rat’s blood they transfer the disease.
There weren’t any doctors or any cures.  
The fleas were the cause of the disease.
 
I’ll never forget the symptoms that people had to suffer.
Nobody knew what the plague was, therefor they weren’t sure.
 People suffered from painful swellings.
Popping the wound caused bleedings.
A wound which first turned red then turned black.
It rises and rises like an air sack.
People had high fever and delirium.
Bleeding in the lungs of a victim.
The vomiting, and mental disorientation.
Muscular pains begin to num.
The intense desire to sleep.
Victims would die quickly.
Each second from one to another dominated by the flea.  
The economy falls and the population is sore.
After contracting the disease we would live for a couple of days.
People will never live out of this maze.
It took years till the disease passed through Rome, Milano, and most of Europe.

I’ll never forget how Art, Music, and Culture changed.
People began to see the depression surrounding them.
The humans suffering, and their carnage.
The horrific pain inside them.

I’ll never forget the Black Death.
The plague was like the appearance of the small pox.  
These diseases can rapidly spread like a flock of birds.
Everyone lived in terror.
Worried of becoming the Black Death’s victim.
The Black Death was like a curse.
The treatments were not helpful, it would only make it worse.
Stopping the cure in your body.
There were other remedies but they never worked.
The plague killed at least 50% of Europe’s population.
The Black Plague was a very serious condition.
Each day and every second, people prayed that the Black Death were over and 
done.
The smell of clear air.
A rise of a new population.
It rises and rises like an air sack
I’ll never forget the sick and the dead.
I’ll never forget the Black Death.

Eleven Twenty-Thirty Six

sighs invade my fingertips,
scratching whorls and loops--

and all that comes to mind 
is the littleness of my heart.

of how it cannot take 
this, that, much, of regret-grief-silence

this realization, 
(the smallness of my heart)
makes me sad, but somewhat also falls into place

of how I have become numb, dumb, bumbling

I never seem to do enough for others,
yet do so much for some

Those that I don't do enough for, seems to have needed them (as well I)
Those that I do much for, flick me off like a speck of lint,
.... and they don't need me after all :'(

either way, I still lose them

so this comes to mind, thus the roots of my num(b)itty-ness:

be silent, my miniscule heart
I don't think you have enough room in your chambers

to    s h a t  t e r   anymore

The Mhs Class of '77 Chapter One

Re: Thank You to unknown 
   tom, dick, harry, tam, dame, 
   or dana from the MHS Class of 77, 
   though this alum
experiences public education 
   within lower providence jurisdiction

as a bum
er - minimally partaking advantage 
   of extra-curricular, 
   collegiate, inter-mural, 
   et cetera opportunities, 

   no not even a figurative crum
well nigh convey an impression of being dumb
bull door, deaf, and blind (with out faith no more), 

   nor passing love notes from
some anonymous girl, who 
   (after leaving a teasing message 
   informed asper getting a smart haircut

   in ninth grade civics class 
   taught by Missus Comly 
   (do not quote me on my 
   power fully pointed excel lent spelling, 
   telling nothing, when out of desperation 
   I experience primal yelling)
this singular potential fledgling flirtation,
 
   the extent from student, 
   who appeared morose and rather glum
exposing such vulnerability to be hum
millie hated, and bullied relentlessly, 

   whereat i wish to be a little boy 
   comforted by me mum
since that option out of the question, 
   thus aye didst never meet Miss Mot Toe 
   (e plumbs e num), perhaps cuz eye whiz numb

body, mind and spirit triage as if inebriated by rum
imagining the fighting spirit within me to thumb
or rather "flip the bird" to those, 
   this then anxiety prone 

   metaphorically rolling stone
whose metaphorical diet of worms also included 
   eating picked over sun bleached 
   un beak coming road kill crow - how yum

me does that seem, but gnome hatter 
   how grossly said foul dish 
   spurred via carrion (an analogy 
   representing verbal taunting

   best left for hitch cocked birds) didst not appeal
not in the least did i give nasty brutes a "what for", 
twas fear of getting creamed, fricasseed, irradiated...

Inside a Drum

I dreamt of a washing machine,
In colours so obscene,
Of shades of caffeine,
It washed everything that was clean,
To a shiny muddy unclean,
It was part of it's routine,
It was never to fond of hygiene,
I found an old tureen,
In gross shades of lime-green,
With a three feet sardine,
And I counted one of sixteen,
Tiny little soybean,
I found something murine,
Frosting sunscreen,
Between,
A pair of nankeen,
And jeans that were lean,
With a 10 pound bean,
Covered in fleshy dentine,
As well crushed strychnine,
Mixed in with liquid morphine,
With a hint of codeine,
To create a used vaccine,


I excavated further into the drum,
My left shoe stepped into gum,
My hands found bottles of rum,
As well a skull of a pilgrim,
A sock with a 44 magnum,
Guarding the used sock kingdom,
Hear muses singing like a threesome,
The kingdom’s national anthem,
I saw a shadowy possum,
Come out of a rectum,
And I became bum,
When it proposed a threesome
Between it ,me and my right thumb,
I started to have a symptom,
That began to blossom
And needed a valium,
Or a serum,
To rid of this irksome,
Three things made up an outcome,
I had a possum,
Who thinks is handsome,
My thumb,
Excess sucking of sheer gruesome,
Melting feelings to a num,
And pressing against my sternum
And now I feel really dumb,
Stuck inside a drum

Slow,Slow, Quick

dark days, gloomy nights
poppin' pills to feel alright
so many thousands of feet off the ground
wind whispering in my ear, the only sound
the clouds lifting me, I am home
down pour beneath me, clearly shown
finally towering over all the rest
pain slowly fading from my chest
you can see the worlds rotation up here
I stomach each turn with nothing to fear

body num,b, earth still
and heres what steps in : free will
high dive
cuz i'm on over drive
free fall
forget it all
rock botom, my life: out of hand
screaming all the way down, because I can
and suddenly... jus           like       that
e v e r y t h i n g  goes black
clock sontinues to tick
slow
     slow
          quick

finally color seaps back into sight
    and then
    I'll do it again
because this is my life.

Tears On My Pillow

What can turn time back, to those unforgettable days.

The way I took advantage of your love, when I told you, I will never change.

What can put a smile on my face, and erase the guilt that's heavy in my heart,

Why did I ignore you as if you didn't matter, how come I didn’t say I was sorry from 
the start?

The reproach I brought to your name,
The aches & pain, the suffering, the shame.

How could I have been so rebellious, so ignorant and selfish?

My pride blinding me, I couldn't see that I was being very foolish 


And all the time I laughed at you, mocking you as you tried to share the truth with 
me,

However, I turned away, throwing up my hand, without respect, and mindless 
understanding.

I wanted to distance my self from you, telling you to stay away,

Giving you trouble, every time day after day,

For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap,

Now you’re gone not here with me, and every day I weep.

I am troubled, heart broken, filled with agony,

Confused, uncertain because of this tragedy.

I'd never thought I'd see the day where everything would turn over on me,

Now, I am no longer blind, I finally can see.

But it's too late and there's no way you can here me say,
That I'm sorry for the pain I've caused my evil doing, my heartbreaking ways.

Why didn't I listen, why was I so dumb,
Why did I let my heart become hardened and num?

You were always right I was wrong each time, now I know

In addition, I'm paying for it each day I awake, with tears on my pillow.

Twenty Four Elders

And round about the throne were
four and twenty seats: and upon
the seats , I saw four and twenty
elders, clothed in white raiment,
and they had on their heads crowns
of gold
— Rev. 4:4
Also, Num. 1:4-17


From Elizur to Ahira,
from Shedeur to Enan
These were renown princes of the twelve tribes:
Reuben to Benjamin
First born to the last born,
they stood by the side of Moses
Twelve pairs of father and son,
twenty four elders
spoken of in the Old Testament
They preached to the people
before the Rock of Horeb
They believed in a Messiah
that was not born yet
Faith always came by hearing,
and the fathers passed it on to the sons 
as death was a-nearing
Twenty four elders,
Moses’ strong left and right arm
There always was the father and son,
two faithful witnesses ready to ring the alarm
There was always the son and father,
Amen shepherds of the gospel
Issac and Abraham,
Moses and Amram
David and Jesse ...
All spoke with the same voice,
true evidence that they believed
Twenty four elders,
worshipers of the Almighty
Of these fleshly fathers and sons ...
who’s faith stood the tallest?
Concerning men, only God knows which one
But of angels,
we already know — 
It was holy Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten

Craig De Num

Dog Soldiers of the secret Scottish regimen
Go in op of your creatures that lurk in
The shadows I know you've found more
Monsters than the world knows and the
Labyrinth of your coven remains legend
Since many hundred years ago and the
Rumor goes your lair has many bottomless
Pits of where dragons, werewolves and
Selchies dwell within the gates of hell...
Well so I've heard and it's been told in the
Scroll and if any Dog Soldier breaks his oath
Of silence he'll find himself food for the
Wild and savage ones I used to think it's
Was folklore until I myself became joined
The brotherhood well what have I done
I thought it would be all in the name of fun
Somehow they found out I was an English spy
For Queen Victoria, somebody will be swinging
By a tree tonight in Craig de Num but I'm not afraid
For her royal highness and England so go ahead and
Kill me but you'll only be diggin' your own graves
In case of my death the British army has orders to move
In and invade your secret society of dog soldiers and 
Ancient Scottish regimen!

Conquista

Ocupação, Empregar-se, Carreira, Vocação ou  Empreender

Ocupação é o que a gente faz apenas por dinheiro. 

Ocupação é o que você faz porque precisa levar comida pra casa. 

Ocupação é qualquer atividade que você desenvolve em troca de remuneração, mesmo que tal atividade não tenha nada a ver com seu gosto pessoal ou talento. 

Emprego é o ambiente no qual alugamos regularmente as nossas competências, conhecimentos, experiências e talentos. 

No emprego, cooperamos para que o empregador alcance seus objetivos em troca de uma remuneração. Isso explica aquela senhora que é vendedora de produtos de beleza, mas que gosta mesmo é de fazer docinhos e salgadinhos para as festas aos finais de semana no seu bairro.

Carreira é o desenvolvimento de uma atividade compatível com nosso talento, num contexto cujos objetivos estão alinhados com os nossos próprios objetivos. Pode incluir muitos trabalhos diferentes ao longo dos anos.

Carreira é o que faz a professora que, depois do expediente, passar horas na biblioteca em busca de informações que possam ajudar no seu atendimento ao aluno.

Vocação é o que você é independentemente do que faz. Pense uma mulher de pouco mais de quarenta anos que sai logo cedo para trabalhar. 

Ao sair ela cumprimenta sorridente as faxineiras do edifício onde mora, sabe o nome das pessoas que estão no ponto de ônibus todo dia no mesmo horário, conversa com o zelador do prédio onde trabalha, leva a receita do bolo que prometeu para a mulher do caixa do supermercado onde, na volta para casa, compra algumas coisas para o jantar e, quando entra em casa, parece que abriram uma janela de cara para o sol. 

Isso é vocação: um talento exercido todo o tempo, em todo lugar, a serviço de todo mundo. Por isso é que a vocação é uma extensão do que você é, e não apenas o que você faz.

O que você tem na vida?
