Best Obtains Poems


Day of Reckoning

Above bleak pastures,
A cobalt coliseum:
Warriors are unleashed.
·
Aggressive brave clouds,
Battle for the dominance:
Vanquishment is vague.
·
Conquest of power,
Clash of divine elements:
Battle in the sky.
·
Sun and clouds collide,
On a battlefield landscape:
The land prays for reign.
·
The golden swords pierce,
As injured clouds hemorrhage:
Pelting the pastures.
·
With sharp swords of light.
The golden gladiator:
Obtains victory.

Being Just a Little More Plain

I wrote this in a guy’s point of view, because I was inspired by Josh Torres


I’m tired of the same.

I want her a little more plain.

I said I’m tired of the same old same.

I know they’re not to blame, that their not the right frame.

I just want her a little more plan.

She would have all my praise, for the beauty she obtains. 

Just being a little more plain.

She is truly beautiful and not vain. 

Being just a little more plain.

She does not blend in with all of them.

She stands out in the rain.

Being just a little more plain.

Premium Member Trapped

Trapped

An imprisoned animal walks the bars back and forth at the zoo. 
I have seen my guy do the same thing in the garage. 
You might think, perhaps I should be concerned? 
Why would I consider them similar at all?
I will explain, a feeling…

When we are in a place or time that has limits, 
we long to break them, to prove our worth, 
if not to others, simply to ourselves. 

A man is measured today… by his collections, 
the “stuff” that he obtains, that actually possess him. 
All things that will be worthless, once eyes are closed…
And… I tell you now, it will happen. 

Being happy, has much as can be, given any circumstance, 
is a way to live. Any action(s) less than complete…
“glorification” of the day falls so short.
Not worth measuring at all. 

The cage…
it is precise from wall to wall.
Every step, until the fall.

Greek folklore-a mighty Phoenix-a long living bird,           arise from the ashes.                                                      How many times have I arisen,                                        as a child-as an adult.                                                    Pain-disappointment-is part of life,                                   I ask why.                                                                     Arising from the ashes,                                                   the mighty Phoenix obtains new life.                               I too must arise,                                                             arise from the ashes to a new life.                                   Some legends say the mighty Phoenix dies,                    in a show of flames.                                                        Some say,                                                                     it dies before being reborn.                                             I have walked through the fire,                                        life has been a fiery one.                                                                Like the mighty Phoenix,                                                 I have come through it all-arise.

The Gift of God

The  Earth, The  Moon, The Sun,
The Sea, The River, or The Cloud,
The forest, the Mountain, or the Grazing land,
Everything is your gift.

This smile, this cry, this feeling of separation,
This happiness, this peace, or the  burning  day and night,
This pain, this agony, or the relief from  sadness,
Everything is your gift.

This love, this affection, this eagerness ,
This pray, this obtains, or  this satisfaction,
This heart, this mind, or this loneliness,
Everything is your gift.

 This winter, this summer, or the change of seasons,
This cloud, this sun rays , or this storms 
This drought, this flood, or this snowfall,
Everything is your gift.

This war, this peace, or  this violence,
This oppression, this injustice, or the word of peace,
All  of these are your gift.


O God, you present  in every corner, in every soul, into the heart of all,
You present,  in every atom, in every nucleus , omnipresent ,
You present, in every hour, in every minute, in every second.

Hey father, shower your word of  nectar, to enlightenment us 
From the darkness to the light,
From the ignorance to the knowledge
From the death to immortality. 

 The End

A Good Thing

He that finds a wife,

Finds a good thing.

He who is willing to lose His life,

For his really loves her

Like Christ did the church.

He who really provides for her

Has grand blessings in store.

Proverbs 18: 22  explains it

For you; "He who finds a

Wife finds a good thing,

And obtains favor from

The Lord. In other words,

A wife is two rewards

In one. She is a helper

And you from God; you

Gain from giving the right

Woman your last name.

The scripture Proverbs 5:18

States clearly that "  May

Your fountain be blessed,

And may you rejoice in your

Young wife." As long as he

Is thankful to God for your

Wife and treat her right.

He'll be blessed in life.

He who spends time with her,

In the presence of God,

Is living the life divine.

He who praises his wife,

Will blessed for the rest,

Of his life. He who prays

With and for her will appreciate,

Her true worth.The greatness,

Of his wife makes his soul sings.

He adores the joy to him that,

She brings. He cherishes the

Good thing like Christ cherishes

The Church. He reminds her,

For sure that she is his good thing,

And he will love her and her only.

He treats her as his own body.

His love flows to her for life.

He's glad that he found a good thing,

Because when he did, he found his wife.

 

"He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." Proverbs 
18:22

"May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice   in your young wife. Proverbs 
5:18

My Name Is Society

I cause one's self confidence to crumble away  
Like a worn-down building left to decay 
I infect the minds of the old and young 
Trapping them in the isolated web I've strung 
I force others to believe they aren't good enough 
They must be tall, skinny, beautiful or buff 
 
My name is body image 
 
I am seen throughout education, employment, and social rights 
Taking expectations to soaring heights 
I make women assume that it's acceptable to be used as objects 
Or men must be strong and can't ever cry in any prospect 
I don't allow genders to be reassigned 
You must be your birth gender defined 
 
My name is gender roles and discrimination 
 
I can cause impressions with just one glance 
individual expression isn't given a chance 
I create the illusion that one race defines all 
Fabricating personas big or small 
I seem to compel others to act  
Solely based on a skin color abstract 
 
My name is racial socialization 
 
I am needed to have success 
Until one obtains me they'll never rest 
I drive individuals into the ground 
Instruments of money don't make a sound 
If money is power 
Where is my crown? 
 
My name is money obsession 
 
Together 
We are called society

Good Morning Life

Good morning mister, of thy kindness to receive,
All groans of yester, thou does seem to reprieve,
With a promise to stir, tinges optimiste do contrive,
Pain’s sphincter lets laughter, it’s another reason to live.

Swaying pyjamas on sling, the autopsy right begins,
Stayed on the bed is a rolling, whom my kitchen concerns,
“Who took that mine bedding, and Ngwaci scantily obtains?
Wanna see me cast the ring, that thine blossom returns?”

The morning prescription taken, I am innocuously abased daily,
To equate with all good men, whose wives possess jealously,
For what woman with a noble token, shirks to lose recklessly?
Taught in the womb that lesson, it break suspicious smiles secretly.

So a frowned fellow I am, and not alone in this generation,
Often silent kicks boom, where behind the driver I myself resign,
Mister, let the news come, you know, cowboys pay to listen,
Devising to forget the theme, but slaughters make to mourn.

A day received with glory, all mine suffer classic deplores,
My stem with a rigorous forgery, in front of the boss affords strange chores,
The cold of June here has a story, then an undeliberate sudden Salsa implores,
My acquittal is my worry, nobody cares to hear the weather course.

Soon ‘t’s time the cycle to restart, wishing a fair friend had that control 
remote,
All these woes at will to alleviate, yet as I am, they incur not the respite,
With some spreed daily to hurt, alone I remain, a man of living heart,
I choose to live life when I find it, even if minutes thirty like a concert.

I rise with and as clear as the sun, I return crumbled like muddy earth,
This manner of men taught me none, but the proverbial sways of youth,
What shall I do but a resolve one, tonight, where else to go but Unguth!
Limited of option, I have all mornings mine, even if not couth.

Give What You Can

we live in a star struck society being a celebrity is now the game
we seem to cheer louder for professional athletes and people with well known names
we also have a desire to be just like them if we could choose
and many feel that being a celebrity is the key to the fountain of youth

but what people fail to see or even comprehend
is that celebrities are nothing more than mere women and men 
and that there is no special powers that a famous person obtains
just because everybody knows your face and your name

and when it come to Jesus He doesn't care about your status nor place
He will welcome you in the spirit of love, mercy and grace
He will sit at the table with you and share a simple meal
some bread and wine in the spirit of communion and an acceptance so real

God does not care if you're a celebrity or a superstar
if that were the case the Bible would not mention the women with the alabaster jar
she was not a woman of status, wealth nor celebrity 
but she gave what she could to acknowledge Jesus' godly authority
yet those men in the room rebuked her for her generous act
until Jesus stood up for her in the midst of their verbal attack
He told them "leave her alone, as for Me she has done a good thing"
she gave Me her best, she anointed Me with fine oil as her true King

what people can't understand nor comprehend 
is that by doing things in Jesus' name blessings God will send
she broke open that alabaster jar she opened her soul to Christ
she gave what she could she gave the best that she had in life

give what you can that is all that Lord God desires
for you to give from the heart and with true faith to be inspired
to understand that being famous is not such a big to-do
but to be recognized by God and know that He loves you

She Is Beautiful

He finds beauty in her empty eyes and fake smile
Why does he look?
Why does he stare?
Don’t deny it, don’t fight it, don’t hide it

She tries to show him something that is worthless
But his eyes seem to see right on through
“She is beautiful”
He tells her this everyday
But how can something so sad be full of such beauty?

Her scars do not bother him
Her bruises do not change his mind
He does not leave her because she is crying
Instead, he wraps her in his arms and says
“Everything will be alright, love”

So why is she beautiful?
Why does he stay?

She is not beautiful because she is attractive
She is not beautiful because she is easily taken advantage of

She is beautiful because her eyes tell a story
She beautiful because she obtains a listening ear
She is beautiful because she has the ability to love
She is beautiful, simply because she is HERSELF

Hunger

Hunger

As my youth approaches me so very quickly
I discover the desires of my flesh 
It cries out for more and more!
The hunger for touch has darkened my being
The need for attention obtains me once more
My close ones impart only what they can
But I am never fullfilled
Just to grasp the love I seek
I turn to anyone, who will give me what I yearn for
Never caring of the consequences for my need of fullfillment
Never caring of who I hurt to get what I require
The hunger envelopes me and overtakes my judgement
So I seek the one who can cover my soul completely 
The being that can stop my search for another
The one who can kill my flesh and sweep away the cries
Until the hunger is no more

Premium Member Polluted Heart

POLLUTED HEART

Thirsty soil parches in scorching summer
Sucks liquid crystal drops of sparkling rain
Stores in deep aquifer pure groundwater
Brought to surface, pure it doesn’t remain
From humans contaminants it obtains.

Lone heart freezes in the dark of winter
Blooms in joy when colors of spring enter
Weaves tapestry of pristine love within
Abused by black mist of lust it welters
In polluted heart love stops to flow clean.

Haiku On My Family

Almost fifteen years
Ago, two souls found their mate,
And merged into one

This produced a child
One good year later
And they named this girl

Ashley, to rhyme with
Their last name, Hensley. So now
Thirteen years later,

It is clear how each
Have their own special talent
That they all acquire:

The father, with his
Problem solving and building
Skills that he obtains

The mother, with her
Gardening and cooking and all
Else she does at home

And lastly, the girl
With her ways of words that are 
Unique, but as known,

Everyone is their 
Own person, and nobody
Can change that small fact.

They Both Desire To Rule- Nietzsche Recast In Poem

Ages there are in which the ration'l man 
And th'intuitive stand side by side, the one 

In fear of intuition, or scorn for abstraction; 
Irrational one, the other inartistic. 

They both desire to rule over their life, 
Unreal or real, counting life to be. 

Prudence, foresight and regularity, 
The means with which one meets needs principal. 

One o'erjoyed hero disregards these needs, 
Counts life as beauty and an illusion. 

As in the 'case in ancient Greece, th'intuitive, 
Handles his weapons authoritatively, 

Victoriously than his opponent, and 
Establishes art's mastery over life. 

All utensils we use in daily life, 
Were made from art, not from our pressing needs. 

Houses, our clothes, our clay jugs, all them were 
Intended to express exalted joy. 

Guided by abstractions and concepts, we 
Succeeds in warding off our misfortunes, 

Without ever gaining any happiness; 
So that's the case the ration'l man's life is. 

Th'intuitive man, aim freedom from his pain, 
Standing a-firm amidst his culture's frame, 

Reaps cheer, illumination and redemption. 
Defense against misfortunes, he obtains.


I was once advised to read Nietzsche's 'On Truth And Lies In A Non-moral Sense.'I do not read Nietzsche; I sing it. I sing 'On Truth And Lies In A Non-moral Sense' this way. I am sad to observe that Nietzsche did not write it this way but in his eloquent flowing prose. Unfortunately, when I look at such prose and skim content, lines appear this way to me.

My neighbour, his name's Tu Hung Lo
His gonads he’d tie with a bow
To attract a young filly
Cos Tu’s got a small willy
One look and the ladies say NO! 

In passing I happened to mention
Tu obtains a todger extension
After big surgery
Tu is very happy
And certainly stands to attention!
