Best Reformation Poems
"Seeds of Reformation"
It has already begun
the swift elevation
of metaphor, self revelation
echoes the transition
of other heralds
their grand symphony
of change singing
like archangels calling
in the love pains, of all
their others' oceans
beacons pure,
the children
torch bearers
radiant lights
teetering on the edge
of reformation
shifting
fresh hearts
reaching out
to their deepest imprint
a bluer sky watching
holds them firm
sings them in
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
"As soon as the coin in the coffer rings; the soul in purgatory will spring"~Friar Tetzel~Salesman for the Pope 1517
He knew indulgences and such were corrupt
the church just out to make an unholy buck
he loved his poor parishioners a bunch
he had to do something this unknown monk,
Not being able to take anymore
he nailed his 95 theses to the Wittenburg church door
arrested he stood firmly for all his beliefs
his friends eventually stealing him in the night like thieves,
While in hiding he translated the Latin Bible into German
that way his people could read and then learn from
instead of just digesting what all the priests had to say
they read and interperted for themselves without delay,
Of course religious tension and fighting ensued
but because of Luther his people were not as confused
the German scriptures giving them new light
instead of the churches teachings and their indulgent lies,
Martyrs before and after Luther lending him a helping hand
all murdered because they took a "heretical" brave stand
many burned at the stake the pope declaring they were damned
while Protestantism swept like wildfire throughout the German land.

When this Corvid crisis is over
There has to be Social Reform:
We just can’t expect things to
Return to their pre crisis norm.
All those essential workers
Daily risking their lives,
The security of their families,
Their children and wives,
To try and keep things going,
Keep society on track
Until the lockdown has ended
And we get normality back.
Many of those are working
On Minimum rates of pay
Which has got to change
Come crisis over day.
There’s talk of a medal to
Recognise all they’ve done,
Recognise their hard work
When this fight is finally won.
But, you can’t feed on medals or
commendations from the Queen.
Let’s have something lasting
With results that can be seen.
Close up the tax loopholes
Take away the benefits of evasion
From those companies that operate
From their offshore tax haven
Reform this unequal society of
Selfishness, grasping and greed
From each according their ability
To each according to their need.
When we’ve managed to enable
This necessary social reformation
Only then will we be a real, not
Just Lip serving, Christian Nation.
Black night,
Await the solar charnel steeds,
Await the noon,
Await the blacker, richer dawn.
Pale heresy dispatched
The light brings on
Silver and subtle with deceits
A day of error o'er a night of wrong.
Nor can the fainting heart resist
The furtive promise of a Christian bliss
And light's pale monuments uplift
A pagan and a passionate kiss.
Challengèd courts, Christendom held in palm,
Tyranny, oppression, falsehoods contrived
On which hingèd stability and calm,
Uprooted by man’s theses ninety- five
On door are tackèd for eyes all to see.
Revealèd wisdom, from God above sent,
Reformation of courts not left to be –
Defiance heighten’d, faith in God, unspent.
Truth in hands of people brings forth reform –
Justified by faith as Word inspired saith;
Transubstantiation false, ne’er to mourn
Catholic evils overcome by faith.
All is owèd this man, held safe by One
Named Martin Luther Gods favor’d son
Was I not worth it!?!
The last angry and disgusted human face that I saw; it was him;
Now, I am much older and memories of him are so very dim.
When I was younger, I tried to recall; but, now, it’s not my aim;
He left mom and rejected me; as though we brought him shame.
I guess it is because his paternal responsibilities, he did deny;
I have grown, matured; over his ‘infidel like’ acts, I won’t decry.
Other took up the task of moulding and making me complete;
Now that I am a father; his mistakes I most surely cannot repeat.
I surely must act now; it has to be rectified from my generation;
Rejection can’t be allowed to fester and destroy our family relation.
The spite was great; rejection open; and the emotional hurts deep;
Yet, I won’t hold it against him; “Whatever a man sows; he also reaps.”
Our lineage must be healed; rejection must be removed from my ancestry;
Life, liberty, love and unity must be the hallmark of our family legacy.

I wrote a poem
A long time ago
It was full of despair
And gray cloudy skies
It made me cry
I then saw a child
Playing in a park
Laughing and full of joy
I wrote no more
Of gray cloudy skies
I’ve been down this road
So many times before
I often wonder if at the end
Will there be an open door?
What seemed to be
What I thought once was
A hopeless dream, in fact
A totally lost cause.
Is now actually a series of events
Coming to fruition
But in a more peaceful, loving
And different rendition.
Is this my chance to try again?
To set things right with my life?
Or is it just a visualization?
Of what could’ve been perhaps an insight?
Only time will tell as the
Fragmented pieces fall into place
Making a difference and a change
In my life as the memories give chase.
Being sure to keep up
Not ever to be missed
But yet called upon at a moments notice
So I can reminisce.
Whenever I feel down and out
Like I lost my friend,
I can reach back into my mind
To smile and laugh once again.
You see, that’s the thing about
Memories both good and bad
They will always be there for you
Whenever you’re happy or sad.
They level the playing field of your mind
Keeping everything on an even keel
Especially those times when
You’re not sure what or how you feel.
Life is full of ups and downs
As well as trials and tribulations
It’s up to us as individuals
To know when and how to set the stipulations.
When we reach that final chapter
And the last page has been turned
You can stop, look back and say
Wow, this is what I’ve learned
Now take this and share it with everyone
Even those you may not know,
So we all as individuals and
A collective will continue to grow.
The spring anthem doth now sound
Helpless eggs lie all around
Encased larva still tightly bound
Brooding mothers redound
Ingenious caretakers cover nest and mound
Ravenous predators scour tree and ground
Doting Queens have nests tightly wound
Succoring honey begins to compound
Aging pupa entombed all around
Nubile creatures more nutrition impound
Docile minions escape their waxy mound
Tracking nectar wherever flowers abound
Hovering matrons incubate above ground
Enervating heat the eggs must surround
Brimming yoke with new features expound
Emerging embryo can now be found
Emboldened chick with beak doth pound
Suddenly from cracked shell does new life resound.
existence never losses its existence
though through transmission and transformation it rotates
Water particle remains the same
in ice or even after evaporation where ever is there
Whatever it or they may be within the Universe
never losses existence from inception
Only reformation continues perhaps until perfection for......
during the time bound all simple kinds of hesitation and frustration.....
End is there indeed after all roles are played perfectly
being truthful from every senses being perfected truly
I can't believe how
my life has changed
from one of a happy facade
through the morose and hopeless trajectory
that I traveled daily
to my final resting place
of ultimate bliss.
My path was a crazy one
of delusions and phobias.
For years, I felt
uneasy and heavy hearted.
I was obsessed by my thoughts.
Thoughts I couldn't control.
My brain roamed freely
through these ideas.
I grappled with my conscious.
What to do?
I then listened
to my inner voice
and ran with my heart.
I rushed head long
into your waiting arms.
Where I have found
my true self
and can be the person
who was hiding within
all along.
A woman who is
happy, safe, and secure
in her own skin,
on her own terms.
When you are too cool,
And we are dangerously fool!
When you are too good,
And we are mistakenly rude!
When you are going to forgive,
And we are going to dive in the ocean of deceitful bliss!
When you erroneously allow us to speak,
And we are going to attack you at your peak!
You call us "the collaborators",
You kill us by the disgraceful gladiators,
You keep us safe by biased words,
You provide us bliss with the disguised curse.
Until you live long in the blissful hell,
Until you confine us in the glorious jail,
Until you can be refined in your guilty conscience,
Until you rebuke us for our misguided sense.
We are united as your crown is denied,
We are guilty as you are still our guide.
We are ashamed that we didn't know our mind,
That is why you can still rule us and deride.
Our lives dwell in fields streaming with timeless torrents of shifting winds
That blow surging change over us, forever moving, lifting our wisdom higher
Grasping unto its timeless seasons, swirling in the ebb of all that transcends
Rendering us whole again with faith and hope as our aspiration and desire
Where reformation masters the unerring and flawless transition
That all in its path redeem the emergence of knowing joy and failure found
Bestowing its tribute to nature's impeccable composition
That life and peace and death and war shall everlastingly abound

What we currently see from radical Islam
is inaccurately termed ‘anti-Semitism’
It actually is fanatical hatred of the Jews
as ancient as Abraham ~ it will inevitably lose
