Best Servants Poems
In the darkness of night,
The moon and stars cast their light.
Sunrises of the mornings;
Sunsets of the evenings;
They share a common reality,
One quickly rises;
One quickly sets.
Clouds surround them;
Clouds pass them by.
Sunrises and Clouds pose as friends,
And unite as one great team.
All of them astound without a sound,
And obey their master's commands.

Las mujeres que cruzan el rio cada dia
forman una linea larga para la migra.
Muestran sus permisos -- tarjetas locales --
y vacian los contenidos de sus bolsas.
Cuando las preguntan sus destinos,
contestan con las frases que han ensayado:
quiero comprar pollo en especial,
o desea mi hijo zapatos tenis de Wal-Mart --
mientras sus patronas del dia acechan,
a prudente distancia, en sus camionetas guayin,
con los motores en marcha,
fumando impacientemente.

In disingenuous defenseless dreams of the damned have wept
They awaken within sempiternal solitudes that they have slept
They're above all asseveration of tenacious tears they accept
For inside patricentric passage of time becomes illogically inept
The axiomatic assembly of manqué multitudes in pacifistic plight
Their damnation dorms of diversity desecrated upon a fatal finite
Humankind’s humility a harbinger of ritualistic recrudescent rite
And sorrowful sins syndicate with vigorous velocity and appetite
Their altruistic ambient soul tangled torn beyond comprehension
Desolate deprived within a deceitful delight of a demons detention
Isolated and audaciously abandoned onto the grasp of evil intention
May love levitate their tragic turmoil and align them with ascension.

Seven Servants of Hate
Behind heavens beauty, there sometimes lies the serpent of hate
What pleases the eye, sometimes may poison the heart
Beware the servant who entices with the rose
And strikes with the thorn
Love disguised
Uncovered
Hate

ATTRIBUTES OF ZEALOUS SERVANTS OF THE LORD
Attitude of obedience to the Almighty
Burden-bearer… being a blessing
Cheerfulness as the caring Christ
Determination to do right with delight
Example of edifying encouragement
Faith-fortitude for faithfulness-fervency
Generosity in giving geared of godly glow
Heavenly-set, hoisted by calling… high and holy
Involvement in eternal kingdom’s investment
Joyfulness in sharing redemption-jubilation
Kindness kindled by the King of kings
Love through the compassion of the Lord
Ministry, not money, moves heart and mind
Nourishment from Scriptures for spirit’s nurture
Others’ first, optimizing reaching-out opportunities
Prayer priority propelling performance-power
Quenching not the Holy Spirit with worldly quirks
Reputation, by the Redeemer’s grace, is above reproach
Soulwinning-satisfaction by the Saviour’s strength
Trust in the perfect Teacher for triumph midst toils
Unity toward God’s exaltation in team-upliftment
Values of biblical standards and virtues
Work ethics of diligence are worthy
‘Xtra-mile doing with patience ‘xerted
Yieldedness to the Holy Spirit with a willing “yes”
Zeal in striving to be the servants* the Lord God wants them to be with zest!
*Revelation 19:5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.

Lord, give me strength, give me conviction.
Lead me in the paths of righteousness,
and keep me from being the darkness in this journey.
Give me more trials to strengthen my faith.
Let me travel more often the valleys,
and keep me from this world of evil.
Help me grow in Your grace, always to see Your face.
Close my eyes that I will have more faith,
and let me no more stray.
AMEN!

We are God’s People; His Servants of Righteousness
Let us control our tongues; guard our hearts carefully
His Word contains everything we need for Godly living
Let us spend time with Him; seek Him most prayerfully
We are in the last days; the final countdown continues
Let us work diligently; persevering with eternity in view
Laying aside that which serves to hinder or distract us
Acknowledging Him in all our ways and in all that we d

Sleepy I am as I contemplate my navel
Dreamed of relaxing in my castle quite palatial
Servants to fan me
And when I pee
They pull up my pantaloons, quite playful

Called servants* of God
Labouring with His nod!
Illumined with heavenly vision
They show Christ’s compassion!
Dedicated midst problems’ hardship
Faithful in their stewardship!
Godly along faith-rays
They win souls always!
Cooperative in their ministries
Soldiers vanquishing evil infantries!
Indeed committed to serve
From worldliness they swerve!
Exalting the Lord’s name
They follow Scriptures’ flame!
*Ephesians 6:6 “Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.”

Solomon’s secretive solemn sassy sensuous servants and songbirds
Solicited serious Somalian solutions simultaneously with South African,
Southeast Asian, South Dakota, and South America. Squiffy, squirmy
Spiny specialized swordfish sent spiraling soon soared with sticky,
Silly starfish wearing stiletto heels. Surfboarders supposedly stepped
Over stormy streams to strip submarginal substances from slippery surfaces.
Sadly some suspected subterfuge.

Amidst life’s adversities with attacking adversaries
We, anointed servants of God, affirm our faith in His victories
Along our spiritual ancestors who overcame persecution-miseries
Asserting His awesomeness that assures His authority of majestic glories!!!
Blessed with eternal life thru trusting our Saviour and Lord
We’re bound to heaven, the perfect paradise according to His Word
Yet we must fight for holiness using the Spirit’s sword
While serving and ministering thru the grace He does afford!!!
Though confronted with unclaimed domain and unfinished duties
We’re constrained by God’s love* to persevere in our responsibilities
Entrusted with worthy tasks more than gold in their blessing-bounties
Fervently praying for power since the Master can strengthen our faculties!!!
Grateful are we in our friendship with the King thru divine partnership
Privileged to labour for Him in kingdom-advancement’s stewardship
Serenely enjoying together our sweet blissful relationship
In our consistent, consecrated and committed Gospel-fellowship!!!

My Palace and my Servants
My palace is too beautiful to stay and
my servants are too loyal to me
They have enormous powers to do anything
I t is in my hands to keep them all good
They make me as a too rich or poor in a second
It is in my option and in my efforts
They are too cruel and worst
When they are in the hands of scoundrels
I admire them in all along their way and
I guide them to the Temple of Love with peace
They made my hut as a palace of glory
I am always grateful to them for their service
They are true and sincere
as long as my path is in truth and Peace
They can bring God to this earth and
they can speak with Him as angels
Yes They are powerful and wise
they can take decisions at any critical moment
They are my thoughts and my Palace is my mind
everyone is having in this world
