Just Stating the Obvious
There’s God and there’s the devil
Man’s caught in the middle
Who’s good and who’s evil,

There’s Heaven and there’s hell
More beautiful is the earth
Can anyone otherwise tell,

There’s sin and there’s confession
Then there’s the rule of law
To constraint further transgression,

There’s Koran and there’s Bible
Forget William Shakespeare
Man plays the...

Premium Member Talent Is Obvious To Everyone But You
Talent is when you know how to do something 
without any understanding of why or how you do it
Talent is automatic, talent is enthusiasm, talent is pure love of doing

She comes in all shapes and sizes
She falls out of the sky 
She tweaks your nose
She...

Book: Radiant Verses: A Journey Through Inspiring Poetry

Every new day, the sun will rise.
As time passes, the moon expands.
Reasons to act without surprise.

Every day, the wind brings new ambition.
The river flows into the shoreline.
Every day holds a new lesson.

Every day, a new baby is born.
After nine months of pregnancy.
God promises and bestows adorned.

Stars...

We no longer move in normal ways    
and all this because of Covid 19   
I no longer watch the news these days 
Each day I pray for a simple cure 
but as the numbers climb I realize 
prayer is the...

Obvious Conclusion
You're chatting with your pals, but the subjects ain't the same!

No talk of sports or music, or movies you can name!

It's more the results of MRI's, CAT SCAN's and the such!

Medications that you're taking, how often and how much?

The Doctor's that you're seeing. What do...

On this earth, the sun rises in the east
And sets in the west
This cosmic phenomenon can’t be missed.

On this earth, the oceans are tinged blue
From where their water came
They have no clue.

On this earth, to the sea the rivers flow
At the edge of growing delta
New...

An Obvious Need
“Dear Lord and Savior, hear my plea.
I've one request - wait, two or three....
This time though, I'm in a fix,
so maybe there'll be five or six....

Please answer quickly, hear me now
and I'll pray daily - that's my vow.
Unlike before, please don't postpone,
for really Lord, You...

Just Stating the Obvious
Life is a cycle of joys and sorrows 
Ups and downs come and go, sometimes high, sometimes low
Use your todays, don't think of tomorrows 

Failure is the stepping stone to success 
A win requires hard work, something we cannot shirk
Challenges are needed to make progress...

Clear as black and white, they say,
In Occam’s razor slashing terms,
Exempting endless hues of gray.

Despite spotless reputation,
“The Obvious”, on occasion -
Subject to interpretation.

Findings depend on where we look,
How far we venture to explore
Beyond the cover of the book.

The most erroneous of all -
Character sketch at...

When You Die - Just Stating the Obvious Poetry Contest
When you die
You are gone
It's goodbye

No one stays
On this earth
For all days

It is said
Past is past
Dead is dead

Done is done
And for whom?
Everyone

You won't know
When it's your
Time to go

Need I say?
That's the world
That's the way

That's the trade
That's the rule
No one made 

So come on
Live your life
'Fore...

With the cares of every day 
You are so weary 
It is time to pray 

As you pass along life’s way 
Your fondest hopes fade 
It is time to pray 

By the things some people say 
You are so betrayed
It is time to pray 

You...

My Obvious Candidate
This years race for president is impious.
Making my thoughts ever so oblivious.
So I have made a my own decision auspicious.
If they should win, others would be envious.
That is why I shall vote a candidate so devious.
While others may say he is completely dubious.
At least I...

Blantantly Obvious Subliminal Messages
Fate or coincidence
as if we have a choice
constantly at odd
with those who share
a difference in their voice
as if we could change the world
so pretentious for us to concieve
as if only a single soul
still in me would believe

Fake or conciousness
a notion to betrothed
as if you betterment...

whims may become a blessing or a curse
pushing one toward certain ruin or worse
drinking from the deep well of evasion
well versed in dark practices of persuasion
fixating on dreams of what ought to be
avoiding what mirrors reality

totally free of social encumbrances
in spite of what the best...
