Why Do I Feel So Sad?
Why do I feel so sad?
I had lots of love.
Why do I feel so sad?
I still have lots of love.
Why do I feel so sad?
My career paid high.
Why do I feel so sad?
I was well respected for my knowledge.
Why do I feel so sad?
I had a stroke at 55.
Why do I feel so sad?
My kids turned out great.
Their mother, a blessing to us all
She had a plan, I didn't.
Why do I feel so sad?
I have a relationship with God.
Through Jesus, the Son.
Why do I feel so sad?
I never knew what I wanted to do.
Why do I feel so sad?
I never dreamed of what I could become.
Why do I feel so sad?
Never developed the discipline to achieve.
I went through sixty years without goals.
Time to change.
This is what I'm going to do.
Time to excel.
This is what I'm going to do.
Time to dream sweet accomplishments.
This is what I'm going to do.
Time for real goals.
This is what I'm going to do.
Time for no regrets.
This is what I'm going to do.
Love others as they have never been loved before.
This is what I'm going to do.
Thanksgiving prayers in the most significant detail.
This is what I’m going to do.
An accomplished light for others in a dark world.
This is what I’m going to do.
After gaining for sixty years,
It’s time to lose weight.
This is what I’m going to do.
Live life without excuses.
This is what I’m going to do.
Baby steps and then big leaps.
This is what I’m going to do.
I'm going back to school because I want to.
Masters in Spiritual Leadership.
This is what I’m going to do.
Public speaking, I have a success story to write.
Then I’ll share it with everyone who will listen.
This is what I’m going to do.
Do a little preaching.
This is what I’m going to do.
Share the gospel with anyone who wants to study.
This is what I’m going to do.
Less TV, even sports.
Time to cease watching other people's dreams.
Time to create and pursue my own.
This is what I’m going to do.
Pray without ceasing.
This is what I’m going to do.
Achieve spiritual greatness.
This is what I’m going to do.
Welcome to my dream.
Now I have to write my specific goals with details.
This is what I’m going to do.

"Covid emergency Acts" & 1930 Nazi Germany Cohesion
Gaslighting from Wuhan, the bitter scourge raged,
Covid the Brand,
the value is FEAR and Control.
the "marketeer" shrouded in obscurity,
subtle conditioning,
psychological warfare
unconnected mind control game.
Concealment of odious lab experiment.
Global perplexities without a gun,
unseen armies moving through the air,
hopeless mortals stripped of honour,
proud kings humbled by fear,
men crossing the threshold of speculation
At the precipice of a reset.
ignorance seeks the thrones on all sphere,
Presidents and tyrants of nations devoid of science,
mandating and manipulating all like Hitler,
to seek solace in experimental opium.
compromised media destitute of Chemistry,
suggesting ampoule from greedy pharmaceuticals,
Business trumped,
anxieties exacerbated,
controlling by fear,
Masking laws to deface nature's Beauty,
Sanitizer as cure enriching China,
From Isolation,
to Lock down and lockouts,
to the Greek Labelling,
Alpha overturned by Beta,
and Gamma conquered by Delta,
demonized immune system,
deodorize chemical solution from the lab
deceived by propaganda to the Jab, susceptible still.
A false sense of relief.
and the naming ceremonies unending,
Mutation from Vaccines, concealed,
Then the arrival of Omicron from South Africa.
The Vaxxed unprotected by experiment blames the "unvaxxed"
The world a Laboratory for the greedy,
money mongers devising opium by trial and error,
another experiment for the gullible as cure,
Censorship of opinion by big Tech,
dictation and Propaganda.
Welcome Socialism,
Wuhan now cured.
Selective restriction,
deprivation, broad day robbery,
undefined PCR Test,
speculative stigma,
Positive or Negative incontestable,
punishment for the Beijing weapon
Freedom was Yesterday
Socialism is Here at Last.

The seasonal door is wide
but remains not fully opened.
The mid-day sun
burns a heat wave unbroken.
Nature sings softly
hot and weeping in the heat
most of the garden creatures
hide away in their retreat.
Summer 2016
came in quiet and cool,
from a springtime long extended
marked only by children let out of school.
Sandy beaches fill
with waters flowing tepid.
as summer creeps in
preparing a harvest to be epic.
Berries, corn, tomatoes, peppers
promise sumptuous surprise
while farmers and land
languish in summer heat, hot and dry.
Autumn is soon to follow
close yet just off in the distance
and we and nature wait
to welcome it without resistance.

Man and Womankind wants to stay alive and these "Spirits' need to be revived! The Spirit of Hope! The Spirit of Empathy! The Spirit of Love!The Spirit of Compassion!The Spirit of Kindness! The Spirit of positive Creativity!The Spirit of Truth and Justice!Can we get wrapped up in the Spirit of Confidence of the victory that we will achieve by putting the Enemy of the forgoing under our feet?Hold on to those "Positive Spirits" to keep your self alive and help your family survive,and make your children wise!! The "Spirit "keeps us alive! The "Spirit" of a "Lie" is of "The Devil" and "The Devil is a "Liar"and ignores what is "The Truth"!The "Devil" says that there is no such thing as hatred ,and we see it everyday,and we see love too,and this is how the "Devil" lies to me and to you,by saying things that are a lie and are untrue! Let us stay and remain in "The Spirit of The Truth"that make us "Godly",and think straight,and face what is real ,not matter how terrible it may be or no matter how we feel! The Truth is real,and a lie is "Deceit",and that is why "The Devil" is put under our feet by "The Lord God"!The Lord God does not need my help,because I need his help to boost this "Spiritual Power" everyday and every hour,and be revived so that I can stay alive! We need to revive those "Spirits" that are expressed in the words written in this poem,and believe "The Truth",and reject "The Lie"and build up our "Spirits"and never die believing a liar who always tells a good for nothing lie!

Ballad
Bad things happen to good people
It’s not fair but you have to dare to keep going
Because there will always be something in you
That believes that the impossible can be achieved!
In confusion you will know that
Greater things are inevitable and you will know that
Your destiny can’t be stopped because of a bad event!
Sometimes things fall apart and
Sometimes you need to remind yourself that
You will not fold and not become the monster that
The ‘situation’ would like you to be!
Bad things happen to good people
But this is not the time to give up!
This is the time to show that Good triumphs over bad!
Your situation is not too dead that
It cannot be revived
Your situation is not too dead that
It cannot be renewed
Your situation is not too dead that
It cannot be restored
Bad things happen to good people
But in confusion you will know that
Greater things are inevitable and you will know that
Your destiny can’t be stopped because of a bad event!

Certain it is to be at steady aim
at any time
at any place
the dead mans eternal race
Shock the barstool
take the shots
given by the winged sculptures who gawk from the pughes
A pecking order in the house of flocks
Not important enough for dirt
decomposition of the minds eye comes last
Anatomy has no hidden agenda
just a set of character traits it’s amassed
Forced entry
Chalk it up to bad luck
dead as a doornail
stiff as a board
the cliches have run amuck
Just a standard breach of contract
between humanity and oblivion
Don't take offense
Trust there will be no forgiving
So what is said
at the end of your life
if the question is "how was it truly living?"

revived
Current mood: peaceful
Drowning in quicksand, i reach out but no one can give a hand I scream loud but
the sound becomes muzzled, the crowd gathers but they just seem puzzled, i try
to shout help but it is like i am in a bad dream and just can not be seen. i am
going under fast i close my eyes and draw one last breath, i wander is this how i
meet my death. it is dark now, suddenly i feel something pulling at me struggling
i think it is trying to set me free then i hear a voice crying not yet you don't, i can't
see still but the background noise is starting to come in clear, i feel you standing
there your words echo don't go, no don't you dare.

Sheaths of grass dry, dance in the arid field brown
In pursuit of green dreams, meander lives around
Counting its days, a wild plant wilts on ground
Obscured by sudden nimbus clouds, cries the sombre sky
Tear drops of the dreich sky wallop the vast land dry
Sky's tears, sustenance to the wild plant about to die
Starts cascading, the divine drops, one, two, three...
The drenched grateful land grins with glee
Descending drops,
Raise the pulse rates of the wilting crop
Sighs the wild plant as sign of hope
As raindrops swell,
the life-span propels;

Imagism
The lightning in my mind
To pierce through the night
And now I can not hide
The truth has come to light
The failure of a man
The child had to demand
Collapsed in glowing rain
Conducting every shame
The walls have crumbled down
Revealing what I found
Before I looked away
Truth empowered by the day
The night could never last
As long as I could ask
What have I now betrayed?
When will I be okay?
There was nowhere I could turn
Nothing left to yearn
No way could I try
But now it burns my eyes
The lightning in this storm
Unveiling every form
Silhouette of what is gone
Breaking into dawn
And everything is known
Beyond the dark below
The rain reveals the flow
And the fallen start to grow
The lightning through my heart
Reviving one more start
Awake and now at peace
The light has pulled me to my feet

Lyric
Surrounding self with shells of snails,
You lie on warming shifting sand
Sifting through your open hand,
Adrift with tidal rifted swales.
Charting ebbs and flows of sun,
Wisps of clouds reveal the show
That hermit crabs and sea crows know
And quietly your brain has spun.
The waters turn, the tables, too,
As comfort’s found in sandy dunes,
And concert in gulls’ shrilly tunes,
Relentless though the ocean’s brew.
Emboldened by the sand and rock,
Self aligns with shale and shells,
Enchanted by the salted swells,
And Siren-like, the gulls’ sweet talk.
You’re only one of millions more,
As grains and shells and showers;
Though insignificant your powers,
Not so the strength found at the shore.
Steadfast again your peace survives,
Near broken on a hidden shoal;
Designed, determined to be whole,
In turbulence the soul revives.

My soul…
quickened* with
divine grace-breath;
revived by God’s power…
…now serves!
*Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved.

Pursue for constant spiritual revival*
As God’s child, saved from hell’s damnation…
Be zealous toward divine transformation
Serving Christ, waiting for His grand arrival.
Desire to experience heavenly revival ceaselessly
As God’s redeemed for faith’s increase-performance…
Be directed by His Word of truth assurance
Obeying the Lord, relying on His strength tenaciously.
Abide in God’s reviving steadfastness
As God’s saint who is eternally forgiven…
Be illumined through His wisdom freely given
Declaring the Gospel, sharing His loving kindness.
Seek God’s revival in the power of His might
As God’s steward called to be faithful
Be submissive to His will, perfectly powerful
Walking in His light, doing what’s right.
*Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
