Best Providence Poems

I that have seen such beauty 
fallen beneath its gleam 
rejected my life’s duty  
to wade thus in its stream  

Saturating me with love  
bathed in moon’s reflection  
naught more for me to dream of  
drown me your affection ...

Providence On Behalf Of Love
 

I that have seen such beauty 
fallen beneath its gleam 
rejected my life’s duty  
to wade thus in its stream  

Saturating me with love  
bathed in moon’s reflection  
naught more for me to dream of ...

Part of my faith is Providence
Which means God meant it to be
Somewhere in the past
God had a plan for me
Slavery brought us freedom
From far across the sea
Persecution gave us liberty
To believe in the God we see
Prejudice gives us eyes
To see the mark of the beast
Breaking...

Madison's defense of the establishment clause to the Virginia legislature:
"Religion both existed and flourished, not only without the support of human laws, but in spite of every opposition from them, and not only during the period of miraculous aid but long after it had been...

Ruminating over a golden era gone by and over possessiveness filled me with nostalgia
Ultimate luxury of vying for a car as well as owning a chauffeur driven one was
Sadly for the migrated rulers who ruled over another dynasty across oceans
The massive Ford drove into grandpa's...

Every soul, a ship is,

Created to withstand the fiercest storms

That life’s ocean could ever generate 


Provided 


Her captain would never lose sight of 
 
Providence’s guiding beacon

And

Never would her, to the voracious waves of

Lawlessness, abandon!

In disaster and war movies
the protagonist (Queen) and her immediate circle
are protected from anonymous death. They may die (one by one or all at
      once)
but someone at least grieves.
Or the audience is full of glee.

But in Star Wars (for instance)
what...

Impregnable soil
Dried roots they toil
Reaching to quench their thirst
Extinguish the fire
Burning up higher
Late summer sun is perverse
Scorching the painting
Left remaining
The Rembrandt of spring created
Panoramic colors
Melt and flutter
As the canvas is slowly cremated
Naturally Mother
Responds to recover
Mindfully saving the pieces
Wisely stitches together
For coming cold weather
A blanket to...

Another tranquil evening in Shangri-la 
Reading lost books from Alexandria
Hosting crickets and a dozen or so fireflies 
All time and space seems to synchronize

The sun has been down for quite some time
Paradise relaxes while shadows pantomime
Candles dance in the pale lunar light
I thumb through Hemocrates...

Suffering sunset
Lost in the surf so complete
My soul’s destiny...

Robots are modern day cousins of human beings
For they share between them common bindings
Both are programmed in a way to carryout tasks
That is assigned by their respective programmer.

It is providence that schedules all human events
And man performs strictly according to the chart
That is designed and...

My heterodox heart abandoned and impaled,
By such beauty where kisses have been jailed…
Marooned by your love and escaping has failed,
Decomposing with my last breath echoic exhaled.

Imprisoned by lachrymose of your lascivious lance,
Intoxicated by illicit lust as we started our dance…
Exciting erotic illusions within their eternal...

Big Bang transpires when you crack the spine
As eager eyes sweep the rows
Language consumes until you’re mine
Trapped inside a world of prose.

As eager eyes sweep the rows
Fact and fiction copulate
Trapped inside my world of prose
Possibilities generate.

Fiction’s reality without the proof
We haven’t the time to argue...

Nigeria is on the precipice 
A country in dire need of redemption 
Blessed extravagantly by providence 
But ravaged ignorantly by
Leadership failure
Built on faulty foundation of
Impunity, corruption and nepotism 
Which has engendered overtime 
Inequality of crass proportion 
As insignificant few
Swim  in obscene opulence 
While embarrassingly...
