Best Step Up Poems
I gotta get my head straight
I know whats waiting
Ive been there
Ì`ve stood at hell`s gate
Instead of destroying
I`ve decided I`ll try to create
taking the steps to start fresh
Let`s call it a clean slate
I see there can be more to life
than being a decomposing pile of flesh
riddled with hate and strife
Yes my world may be a mess
but I have a choice of my path
I need not distress
like a phoenix i can rise from the ash
or
I can take the easy way out
and embrace death`s alluring caress
With those around me
I need to be honest and open
not leaving what needs to be said
lost in the ether
unspoken
The gospel episode of the Good Samaritan
mirrors the soul of the person replete with compassion;
although animosity has shaped the racial slur
between Jews and Samaritans ; like a clash of the titans.
That biblical motif, ‘who is my neighbor?’ makes sense,
it gives a colossal implication to everyone in quest –
in pain, in dire need to be assisted in many ways;
a call of duty with its depth of love and compassion.
The story itself is simple but concrete in action,
the powerful response that knows no second thought;
immediately, an act to the aid of someone who’s wounded –
enhances one’s sensibility and caring attitudes to many.
It’s an affirmation of ‘who am I to those who’re in need.’
like that Samaritan who never worries what’s gonna happen later;
suffused with compassion, he shows the spirit of God’s instruction,
that kind spirit in the form of religion reveals who he is to others.
Unlike those two spiritual leaders who just walked by and ignored,
the man who’s beaten and almost dead on the side of the road;
their hypocritical pride, fear or what other people might say
truly, a strong force that in light of this gospel episode
they appear making distinction of race or current situation in turn.
In Jericho where this incident takes place and unfolds its main point,
gives the opportunity to everyone who reflects its relevance and,
the possibility to see anew what patterns in one’s life needs a change;
either in true character or interpreting the real phenomenon before him.
It’s a challenge in depth, a kind of revelation that entails human care,
Like a person’s inward experience that flows into a sublime action;
With its working spontaneity deep within, along with inclusive application
That episode indeed, illustrates a treasure trove of human compassion.
When we see there's hope in life,
We must step up for Christ.
When we know He paid the price,
We must step up for Christ.
We must tell of His sacrifice,
We must step up for Christ.
He's in need for brave soldiers to fight,
We must step up for Christ.
Victory is ours all day and night,
We must step up for Christ.
If you love Him like I do, you'll too,
Step up for Christ.
Ambitious and dogged determined, a dreamer is he
Never contented to be held in any form of captivity
Never allowing one's self to be treated insignificantly
Like an eagle is he, always longing to be free
Never knowing how far one could go, a visionary is he
The broad and open spaces are where he longs to be
Sometimes going north, looking east, returning south
But settling out West, where eagles build their nests
Although strong and steady like an old oak tree
Yet he roams outside the box, a trail blazer is he
Maybe never gaining the success as he dreamed he would
But kept on working, doing the very best that he could
Hoping to finish the race like he knows he should
Zeal and speed are great, as we all agree
But if it's "a finisher" that you really want to be,
The spirit of dedication, discipline, and endurance is the key
Many there are who may be called to be great starters
Some there are who drop the ball and are frozen in the middle
Fewer still are those who boldly step up to become the great finishers

I read this little challenge,step up and lose,
a so-called villain lookin' to be abused
i'm your Randy Johnson,you're my John Kruk
high and tight words dude,ya better duck,
step up to my plate with your childish hate
heat seeking fastballs will settle your fate
who at the soup do you deem unworthy
when the phrase you exclaim appears to be blurry
STEP UP AND LOSE...sure'nuff if you choose
better grab your crotch,before them fastballs turn BLUE....
:).......hey,that was kinda fun !!!
Ukraine's army is battle-ready, battle-tested
The rest of Europe's forces, merely rested
None have fought in many a year
Them fighting Russia moves one to tears
Defending Ukraine is NATO's best bet
with its tough-as-nails army
and the fierce will of its people to survive ~
thinking Poland or France can lick Russia is blarmy
Zelensky's warned you as much, Western leaders
but you've all chosen to be cheerleaders
The blood's on your hands for taking a dive
if nobody in Europe is left alive
20 so plus teacher educator's
Primed ready
Standing like naughty school children
in line
Patiently awaiting castigation
From the board , proud parent's and overlord's
Who firmly believe they can do what
they do only 20 time's better
Never actually having done the job itself
Or knowing what dedication or magnitude
that job entails
Who awaken daily realizing the teaching vocation
they choose to follow
Is in fact a thankless task made only hard
When it is implied that the job they are
doing
By those who should in fact be trying and providing
them with tool's in order to help them
Are actually rather sabotaging them instead
And has now left them pondering the
question
Why they even wanted or ever wished to get into
teaching in the 1st place
Because it certainly wasn't on the basis
of financial renumeration
More for the reward the satisfaction
the job brings
Seeing a child thrive and excell given
they may just only be the only person
In there life who actually support's and
allows them to dream and believe
they are achievable
As sadly not every child comes from
a loving happy home unfortunately
And may need a push in the right direction
in order to find there own self belief , confidence
and inner voice
So they may well 1 day in the not to
distant future find themselves empowered
enough
To eloquently not only be able to speak for
themselves
They endear themselves and speak for
the masses as well
Deserving and reverant enough to bare the moto
Poet of all the nation's people truly independent
And most precious above all else willing
to listen to both sides of any given story
Many of you claim to be the best.
But silly little children prepare to fail this test.
You try you fail.
Im the wolf you the stupid
dog that chases its tail.
A razor blade tongue just as sharp my wit.
Breaking the simple minds.
The weak always quit.
I pick my battles careful so should you.
Just as has begun.
You find it's through.
I am the villan I thirst apon your
hate.
If you thirst for destruction
then step apon the plate.
I am your reaper take a number
and get in line.
Far beyond a childish destroyer
so many victems ive left behind.
Anyone wants to lose there welcome to
try.
tragedy
ecstasy &
doom
in
hazy
luminous
blocks
colour
fills our eyes
and
enters our
mood
wall scale
abstractions
fill the field of vision
to became an environment
inside the space
enveloped in luminous colour
surfaces
a sense
of the sublime
awe, vastness
a natural magnificence
softly defined
rectangular cloud
of colour
stacked symmetrically
a visual language
to evoke elemental emotions
poignancy
murals in relationship
form
expressing emotions
don't think poor
he open the door
he can't do it alone
help him carry on
get in the books
get your mind leadership hook
make your stand
STEP UP BLACK MAN
Heroes are not born or bread
They proactively step up
And pre-fix things
Wait until Uncle Lester gets here.
He will know what to do
Especially if he brings Aunt Inez.
STEP UP
Been down too long step up
Fell on the ground step up
Lost touch with God pray up
Now He hasn't left me
I left Him, He's always by my side
I choose to not anymore deny
I'll hold His hand He forever continues to hold mine
Now and everlasting for eternity
Been down too long step up
Fell on the ground step up
Lost touch with God pray up
Now He hasn't left me although I often leave Him
Now He hasn't left me
I left Him, He's always by my side
I choose to not anymore deny
I'll hold His hand He forever continues to hold mine
So I step up

You waltz into our lives,
Like some invisible ghost,
Now we are supposed to,
Just sit back and watch you take away,
The one thing that we both look toward.
How are we supposed to react,
When it seems that,
Every time your around,
It seems that we are completely ignored.
We know nothing about you,
You simply wont speak,
And if you do,
It’s a “hey how are ya?”
And that’s it.
If your going to be apart of our lives,
Why not take a chance and get to know us.
Here’s my advice to you,
TAKE A STEP UP MAN,
"the path to paradise
is really worth the price,
where is me bed-pan nurse,
bowels gone inta reverse...
oh fine...
still love ya babe....
till im swinging in the hearse.."
on ya Cindy
Don
if your on the down low
it time to go
stop being slow
your people need you more
open the door
those who
follow you
your like no other
STEP UP BROTHER
