Best Rise Up Poems


Rise Up

Rise Up

Rise up to the blessing of another day.
To all that awaits you this moment.
To all that will challenge you and enlighten you.
 
Rise up to the opportunity to live in your truth and appreciate the truth of others.
To make a difference and matter to those in your path and to those you never noticed.
 
Be awakened by the joys of opportunities both sought after and placed before you.
Rise up to the choices that you have the freedom to make and take delight in being the vessel to enforce them.
 
Embrace your beauty, your strength, and most importantly, your flaws.
Be courageous when faced with adversity and smile when you’ve conquered the impossible.
 
Rise up to your fears and shortcomings and face them with the belief that you are not the only one; you are never alone.
There is so much turmoil in the world today.  Be that small ripple in the water that becomes the huge wave of hope and positive change.
Be that spark that ignites into a blaze of restoration.
 
Rise up to the responsibility of reminding our youth that they are royalty and should conduct themselves as such.
With the dignity and respect which is needed to be a part of resolutions and not part of our demise.
 
Although life has a way to often break us down, we must rise up to the realities of our destiny.
We cannot be broken.  Our spirit cannot waiver.  Our souls have been fortified with ancestry that embodied perseverance, power, and the will to praise God.

RISE UP KINGS
RISE UP QUEENS

We are backed by our foundation of greatness and all that we are facing in the world today is our foundation of inspiration and purpose.

We must be inspired every day to simply and deliberately RISE UP!

Premium Member Rise Up and Sing the Sun

Break forth, o dawn! Rise up and sing the sun
from underneath the hills into the light.
Put out the crimson fires and take a run
through azure laced with lazy wisps of white.

To sleep, o moon! It’s time for you to wane
and nestle in below the canopy.
Dear child, there is no need for you to strain
or stretch. Just rest; put off that jealousy!

Stand down, o stars, and watch above them all!
Go, fade away into the bright of day,
and light again to hold them in your thrall
when dark no longer can be held at bay.

The unseen hand thus orchestrates their course,
as they, in turn, reflect their gloried source.

Rise Up Warrior And Slay The Savage Beasts


Rise thyself up and fight the angry storm
Tomorrow will certainly be far too late
Stirring winds are flashing their usual norm
In conjunction with busy hands of Fate
Trees swaying, limbs breaking, man what a roar
The angry gods are gifting out their wrath
Dancing up the valley, vengeful they tore
Leaving an unholy ripped up path.

Rise as a young man full of piss and gin
Know how world hits hard as it operates
Kick the new dawn and race onward to win
Swing thy hammer to ruin and decimate
For the crowd rejoices in a winner
Hercules a hero, killed the beast
Have a feast, roast pig for your fine dinner
The slayers are vacationing back east.

Rise up a warrior, with heart and brass shield
Let thy sword arm cut and see running red
Refuse to beg and thee must never yield
Never give up unless you are stone-dead.

Robert J. Lindley, Dec 7th 1979
Rhyme

Note-
Last night we had a party.
The bar was full and truly a'hopping. 
Wrote this poem when I got home, then went to sleep.

Rise Up From the Dirt

You have to fly 
to keep your wings,
You have to look
to see better things;

You must have faith
otherwise, you'll fall,
and before you can run
you first, must crawl;

How can you have hope
if you don't believe?
If you don't even try
You'll never achieve;

If you wan't to know
you'll just have to learn,
You can not touch fire
and expect no burn;

You must wake up
before you can dream,
and it can look like gold
but that thing won't gleam;

You have to be honest
if you want the truth,
to see into the future
Take a look at the Youth;

If you want it to be Love
it must touch the Heart,
Love never has to end 
if you know where to start;

Don't ever feel alone
We all get hurt,
Every beautiful flower
Must Rise up from the Dirt.

Premium Member Rise Up To the Son

I was walking in the sunshine
With nothing on my mind
Searching through the memories
Trying real hard to find
To find that certain memory
Buried underneath the dust
Then I heard myself say
"In you lord I trust"
I felt a certain comfort 
I had never felt before
As I became in  tune
With what it is all for
Each new day is a journey
Waiting to become a memory
Through our lives they come and go
Like building blocks you see
We start at the bottom 
Then build our way up
If it was never empty
No need to fill the cup
Once the cup is full
The building is all done
We fulfill our destiny
And rise up to the Son

Written for my friend
Michaela Payne who 
is such a blessing to
me - I have learned
in life what matters
way more than who
we are is where we 
strive to go

Rise Up and Face the World

Rise up and face the world 
Continue to live your life 
Days will come and go 
Some moments are filled with corruption and strife 
But, you have to keep going 
Do not drown in sorrow 
Take positive strides at things 
In order to make a better tomorrow

Premium Member Rise Up and Be Strong

Today, I took a ride
Skies are bright, sun is shining
The radio on, to lift me up
From this new place of challenges,
We all now face 
Mountains are capped white with snow
Shining in the backdrop of blue
My heart goes out to everyone here
As I send best wishes to you
Rise up and be strong
Don't forget the beauty around you
We must keep trying, to get us through!

Rise Up From Poverty

Rise up from poverty 
Get off of those streets 
There is nothing but uncertainty 
You never know the predicament that you may meet 
Take back your life 
Move towards the light 
Get out of the darkness 
And make your life bright

Rise-Up

RISE-UP

Why are we dumb as woman and man?
The world is [really] not like that to live in.
          We don't let stressors break us down when we should address them right now.
          We are what feels the grit and grime that disengages a stable mind.
Never does this not aspect, but when it is addressed, we have found the ultimate     
           perspective.
“If” is a very big word in which the only thing tried is a failure.
           Put forth effort.
           Rise above your obstacles!
Let the world know that you are not that damn man or that damn woman, do for self first.
Yet, either this concepts or aspects... Of course, this conceives.
           So please get with it!
           Rise-up and show others what life has to give.

Premium Member Rise Up

The nit-wit and the nincompoop
cordially bowed on the concert hall stoop.
Greeting the doorman, quite gaily
who nodded back, though more grayly.
And nobody dared to complain or bemoan
that fools were ruling the cobblestone
streets, where urchins peddled faux-wares
beneath the stoop, out in the square.
And the nit-wit offered a hearty wave,
but clearly knew not how to behave
While the nincompoop seemed a tad more at ease,
his pants were quite low and his crack in the breeze.
And nobody wanted to ask or inquire
whether they should pooh-pooh or if they should admire
buffoons, so clueless, off-putting and addled
for climbing the stairs in their outfits all raddled.
Yet, there they stood with their tickets in hand
eager to root for the symphonic band
as though it were some highfalutin sport
of which they knew nothing, but they would not abort
the notion that they have a place 'bove the masses
or anywhere other than out on their...well, you know.

Rise Up

It really puzzles me when it comes to how 
humans process and react to circumstances, 
for instance, 300 girls are kidnapped by 
lowlife cowardly terrorists,  while the world 
community sits back and says, " oh what a 
shame". Well im sorry words of outrage do not 
take action, people who care take action and 
deliver on their words. Their is current 
technology that can find these cowards and 
expert soldiers highly trained for extraction 
missions, and precision snipers who can kill 
up to a mile away, yet bombings, kidnappings, 
and threats from these cowards continues so 
blatantly its like they are laughing at the rest 
of the world. If i was a younger man i would 
go myself and do what i could, but the 
pounding of my hoofbeats for a sixty year old 
man just wont cut it . 
 When is enough enough, when will people 
rise up and quit voicing and start marching. 
When Hitler tried to conquer Europe and 
slaughter The Jewish nation the world 
declared war on him. He was a terrorist. When 
the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor the US 
immediately declared war and took action. 
Nobody wants a war but war is necessary 
when you have tyrants and terrorists who 
think they can have their way with no 
consequences. Write your MP, your member 
of Congress and tell them enough is enough. 
Do nothing and things will continue as they 
are. Rise Up!

Premium Member Rise Up Ye Armies of Peace and Love

Rise up ye armies of peace and love
Make known you're tactical plan
To rid the world of this evil scourge
Of wars and the killing of man

It's not too late but it soon will be
Beyond our efforts to change
This world is still a beautiful place
To neglect it would be a shame

Not to acknowledge it's just a loan
This beautiful world of ours
The mountains high, the rolling seas
The sweet smelling scent of flowers

No more abuse let's all make amends
And treat this planet with dignity
Respect for providing this absolute beauty
How tragic to miss this opportunity

Let's put an end to this constant upheaval
Start out as such innocent tykes
Bewildering how we've gone so far astray  
And traveled this path so warlike

Rise up ye armies of peace and love
Put an end to this strife and selfishness
We owe our life to this place of beauty
Let's forget about all this foolishness!

Rise Up Black and White Children

Rise up  child, 
Rise high.
It is time to ignore the existence of racism  discrimination , antagonism,  tribalism and  xenophobia on earth. 
As It is hard for you to change some people who hate the truth. 
Stop playing victim to favour others, 
Correct your small mistakes and challenge them face to face with truth. 
There are no big liars who can stand when their lies are exposed by the truth. 
Focus on your heavenly duties and ignore  the intimidation of demonic spirits which are surrounding you. 
Uplift the neutral golden flag higher, 
Play neutral between the nations  of ancient conficts which turned to racial silent wars on earth. 

It is time to expose lies, 
Time to wipe out tears of millions of people who continue living in fear , 
                                      With pains, 
                                     traumatised. 
The sun is shining bright from  high place
Look at the  sun morning, midi and the  evening 
You will understand your mission on earth.  
It is a hard  task reason why  you continue witnessing many  challengers here and there. 
Just go, 
Keep going, 
Going on the  earth 
It is  hard to get  credit  from some people who made you their enemies because of  their secret agenders. 
Your being so good and  kind will always sound bad to them,  as their final decision  is to always  see you under their feet. 
Fire and Water are not friends but both two can kill their innocent  people whenever they want to prove their powers. 
When you visit the territory  of carnivores,  do not knock for six when you find the skeletons of their love ones. 
When you go to any  graveyard,  do not flabbergast to find the graves of some people who were killed by some friends, relatives , neighbours and colleagues innocently. 
Majority of the  world politicians and business people dont have  mercy whenever they feel  money or  powers disturb   " interesting  deals interrupt ." 
It is so sad to tell you that but it is the naked truth about some systems of this  cruel World. 
Carnivores eat herbivores and other carnivores . 
It is none of your business,  
Don't interfere their businesses, 
Continue to speak the truth to help them change in the future.
I thank you.
