Best Obey Poems
tale
from old
Slavic god
idol worshipped
sage and protector
season’s spirit
winds obey
chiming
toll
gusts
from gods
stab with blades
of potent breath
freezing the tundra
and stripping oaks
till summer’s
warm air
wafts
winds
rage on
in winter
born from the sea
called by Stribog’s horn
warrior’s songs
command his
grandsons
blow!

Will You Obey God!
God won’t give a job
that you can’ do.
Trusting and obeying him is
what he asks of you!
Please remain faithful to him
in all you endeavor…
He’ll bless you today,
and forever!
He’ll never give you more than
what you can take.
He’s always there for you
and is never late!
Why not trust his words
and obey his voice?
Living for him is always
the best choice!
I praise and thank him for
who he is.!
I’m here today because
of the love he gives!

I won't be obedient,
I'll be defiant
Of laws that have no compassion.
I won't obey laws that condemn man.
A law that stops beggars begging,
So they can't eat a morsel of bread,
I'll not tolerate as I won't see them dying,
For the good won’t die but will be fed.
A law that takes most of our hard earned money
To build fancy things, I'll not tolerate,
Or that allows the politicians to be fat, rich and greedy.
I won't obey laws that condemn man.
A law that puts a man in prison,
For stealing a loaf of bread, I'll not tolerate
As he needed it to feed his family for good reason,
And the Injustice system which did this I’ll obliterate.
A law that doles out the death penalty on an alleged murderer
Is not right for he can't fight his innocence from the damn coffin,
And innocent he was as the evidence was in error.
I won't obey laws that condemn man.
A law that discriminates against others,
Because of creed, religion or colour
Is not right and politicians shouldn't wield that power,
And they’ll cower before God’s Altar.
I won't be chained or repressed.
I won't allow their cruelty and immorality
To touch me as I'm blessed by God's Caress.
I won't obey laws that condemn man.
Our poor, disabled, diseased and insane won't suffer,
As they'll be blessed by our Lord and our compassion and care.
They'll always be in the light of God's Magnificence and Power.
And they’ll adorn His Fields as they bloom in sweet flower.
A law that stops me saying what I'm saying in these lines
Is a law that stifles free speech and suffocates the spirit.
Saying kind and humanist things shouldn't be seen as rude but are fine.
I won't obey laws that condemn man.
Let them stone me, ridicule me and treat me like an imbecile,
For I'll live my life with God's Laws, not their rules.
For my mouth, I won't seal,
And my soul, they can’t steal.
God won’t give you a
task that you cannot do.
Obedience to him is
what he asks of you!
Simply trust him and
his divine plan.
Remember his promises and
hold on to his hand!
His gentle voice is what
Can e heard.
His will for your life,
is in accordance with is word!
He’s given his spirit
for divine wisdom.
To help show our place in
HIS wondrous kingdom.
As we continue, down life's
"bumpy road;"
God will help with our
heavy load.
Trusting and obeying him,
Is the key to success.
If we want our lives
to be BLESSED!

The clarion call i obey, i was called to serve my fatherland,
to experience a different cultures, norms, beliefs, ideologies to see and feel a different region..
Days gone by, months gone by, i understand the people's clamour, their unimaginable unbearable hardships,
The weather is cruel and harsh, it stings like a scorpion bite,
The sun is hot it hits deep into the depth of my skull..
Breeze ceased,
Sweat dropping,
Water is expensive,
Life is expensive too,
Tribalism is venomous,
Segregation is disastrous,
The leaders are heartless, they show favoritism, regionalism and expect obedience, harmony and peaceful co-existence from the masses... One Nigeria they said, i bet that's only on paper..
Our leaders enjoy luxury,
the poor masses are chaotic,
A layman prioritised family problems rather than societal change.. A bad orientation leads to misunderstanding, the three majorities are considered while the minorities are at bay..
Our country is in turmoil, herdsmen stories on the newspapers front pages, their settlement burned down to ashes,
Farmers ambushed and killed..
Life lost..
No peace within!
Our leaders ain't planning for a better tomorrow but for tomorrow's election, several years down the line our stories still remain the same..
My fatherland was my pride now my dissapointment,
So many graduates unemployed, the jobs are reserved for the sons and daughters of the elite..
The street is filled up with crimes...
I exclaimed!! Who will bring back harmony to our dying nation??...
God asked Noah to construct an ark
He provided him a detailed instruction
God gave him a head start, prior to construction
It would have three decks, a door and a window as its bench mark
Then Noah And Sons Ark Company (NASAC) began its task
The ark had no rudder, so the folks laughed at Noah and his boat
It needed no rudder to steer it, it only needed to float
“Umm, God do you think we can fix a rudder on this ark?” Noah ask
“Noah my son, this is where most folks missed my boat
To need a rudder means you know how to arrive at your destination
My son I will steer you to safety, I am your salvation
I’ll finance the project; here you are with the bank note”
So NASAC constructed the ark out of their comfort zone
But how did Noah get all the animals on board?
God supernaturally directed the animals like a horde
About 80,000 animals went in, each identical sexes like a clone
It was full with thousands of animals with a smell of a zoo
Most of the animals who took a nap during the weary ride were bored
The King Lion, the Eagle and the Elephants were the Executive board
The young pigeons in the ark often “coo”
But was old Noah sure it would rain? Was it a mystery?
Did he project the atmospheric weather forecast?
Noah was indeed a wise man, he began to broadcast
No one heeded and the flood did come; it was the worst disaster in history
How many would buy a Jaguar without a steering wheel?
Are you so wise fixing your own rudder?
To steer around the mountain you encounter?
Rest in Him, for He predestinated you for the good pleasure of His will
By faith Noah, being divinely warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with godly fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his household, by which he condemned the world and became a heir of the righteousness which comes by faith. Heb 11:7
My favourite bunch of flowers
with a loving little note,
he didn’t mean to hurt me
was the message that he wrote.
I know that he is sorry,
he tells me every day,
so a happy loving house wife
is the role I still convey.
No one knows our secret
or the shame I sometimes feel
and his sudden angry outburst’s
are what we keep concealed,
I tell my friends and neighbours
I had a clumsy fall
and cover up the damage
with a picture on the wall.
I know he really loves me,
he tells me every day,
“It’s no one else’s business,”
is what he’d always say.
If I ever tried to leave him,
he said he’d take his life,
“Until I take my dying breath,
you’ll always be my wife.”
It’s like treading over egg shells,
always careful what I say
but I know he really loves me,
he told me yesterday.
He starts out calm and peaceful
but I know the rage is near,
then a sudden storm of anger
consumes the house with fear.
A slave to rage and anger
is all that I’ve become,
I’ve been stripped of all my dignity
and emotionally I’m numb.
My thought are vague and scrambled,
fear and guilt are in control,
while anxious desperation
now has a strangle hold.
I know he really loves me,
as long as I obey
and the bruises I’ve been given
are the price I have to pay.
I’m petrified by just his stare
and it chills me to the core,
My stomach churns, my nerves are frayed,
I can’t take it anymore.
“I’ll love you until the day I die”
Is what he’d always say,
It doesn’t matter anymore,
I left him yesterday.
Silent words and invisible smiles now,
Rule the tiny world under your dark cowl,
Teach its people to fear you, it's success!
Drain all the pus from this horrid abscess!
The heart is a weak fool, pay it no mind,
It cannot rescue you while in a bind,
Obey, listen and don't incite any waves,
You'll only rise to power when you're slaves.
Accept things as they are and move on, boys
Blind your eyes and be drunk on my bright toys
Be loyal in exchange for pasty pearls,
Who are you to change this nightmarish world?
This is the only way to build a nation,
You cannot win against my tradition.
The speed limit on this street is twenty-five miles per hour.
When you exceed it, it turns our sweet disposition sour.
In the morning and afternoon, they walk this way to school.
Your careless speeding will make you look like a fool.
Here is an intersection where our young children cross.
Having your vehicle strike them would be a great loss.
Our children are too young to be placed in a grave.
It is their lives that we want to save.
Children should obey their parents because that was what Jesus did.
Christ our Lord obeyed his parents every command when he was a kid.
Even though Jesus was perfect, he obeyed his imperfect parents because it was the right thing to do.
Children should strive to be like Jesus, they should obey their parents too.
When parents give their children chores and rules, it is for their own good.
If children are wondering if they should obey their parents, yes, they should.
If only We, in a monogamus
relationship, could stay
Would We not encounter
problems, Everyday
Although, it seems Impossible,
be We straight or gay
Because TEMPTATION has a
habit of making Us stray
So, to the commitment of having
to LOVE, HONOR and OBEY
Only if Nature permitted for Us
to be that way
You must not bend nor break any rules
Not even a hint of biting them!
Else, you'll likely feed the trolls
You must not bend nor break any rules
Else, you'll likely drag over the coals
By the self-possessed medium
You must not bend nor break any rules
Not even a hint of biting them!

A light "Warning"
poetry contest
by ViV Wigley
Many teens barely reach the age of twenty,
parents only lament when there's a tragedy;
have they taught them to avoid those plagues and woes...
the ones that cut down life abruptly ignoring God's rules?
Obey and live without the thought of agony,
He's there to comfort and listen to your needs;
show your integrity, battle every thought of shameful inequity:
keep a pure heart and fill it with words that reap good seeds!
Some embrace faith and carry out His will,
others break away from it, finding no pleasure in it;
He gave us a day in which we must rejoice and keep it
holy until we give up our breath and hear His call!
Obey and live accordingly to His laws of prosperity,
those who claim to be friends will try to lower your standard of worth;
make you hate all that He is to deprive you of joy:
be wiser than them and avoid all the misery that sin brings forth!

My heart refunding is the pay
the poet with her will, not stray
accost my Faith, but don't delay
God as my vestige meters stay!
To write it not, but think the day
goes on no fetish, fools would play
their happy notes, then strum parlay
this serious soul does cutting say ~
Without the song, a poem is prey
the verse upon some canting may
inflict duress, I kneel to pray
it is that action ~ nearness way!
Assimilate the motions gay
my heart, still caught to lodgings grey
this youth of time, goes on, a fray
addicting rhyme to one relay!
God's measure, I AM, answered weigh
is sacred, certain . . . . my Obey!
The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the High Priest. "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name," he said. "Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood." Acts 5:27-28
Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than human beings! The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead--whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. We are witnesses of those things and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him." Acts 29-32.
"For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge will award me on that day--and not only to me, but to all who have longed for his appearing. 2 Timothy 4:6-8.
...But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as people are destined to die once, and after that face the judgement, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him." Hebrews 9:26-28.
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on the earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Phillip pans 2:8-11. 3/27/23
