Teachings of Miseries

A big thank you to all those who crushed my desires, 
Now my mind is calm with minimum one requires

A big thank you to all those who criticized me,
Now criticism doesn't hurt, positive I see

A big thanks to those who never helped me in need,
They made me strong, of expectations I am freed

A big thank you to every one who made me cry,
Now I  have resolved to be happy till I die

A big thanks  to all those who were bluntly selfish,
Now I have no wants, I know none are unselfish

A big thank you to all the deaths I saw in life
Now I enjoy every moment even in strife

A big thank you to miseries that made me plod 
They made me wiser, I felt agape love of God.

Now I miseries of life, I no longer loathe
They teach realities of life, augment our growth

Smart Students

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. 
-Benjamin Franklin

When a teacher is teaching  , some smart students 
Always love so much their teacher because
They want to be knowledgeable in their lives. 
You can ask yourselves some questions 
About the concern of Christ Jesus on Peter...
Why was He much connected to him? 
Why  Peter recognised Him and
He told him to keep it secretly? 
Why did Jesus leave the keys
To open the heavens to Peter? 
Why Peter was the first disciple who recognised 
The arrival of the Holy Spirit and reminded people
 about the promise of Christ Jesus? 

In the class of hundred students 
There always be two or three students 
Who want to be like their teacher. 
By surprise,  Peter succeeded to walk 
on the waters
while he was  still student 
In the college of Christ Jesus. 
When the apostles started to teach people , 
Peter astonished  some  people  
When he hold the hand 
of a  cripple  beggar 
By the door 
of the temple and
said to him,
 " in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth walk" 
The cripple from birth walked ,
 started to jump...
 jumping. 
Some demons- possessed people and 
different sick people were healed
by God through the shadow of Peter. 
In Samaria none had the Holy Spirit but
They had been baptized
 in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. 
When Peter and John went there,
Then placed their hands upon them and 
They  received the Holy Spirit. 
A teacher is always happy when some students
focus on his teachings.
Imagine how happy Christ Jesus was 
When he was surrounded
by his disciples? 
Imagine how happy the apostles were 
When they started
doing some  things
Which their Teacher did?  

Every good biblical teacher
 " or  preacher" 
always be happy to hear some testimonies
of some transformed people here and there.

Kindergarten logic twists narrative indoctrinating the young 
in how to tell their parents to behave at home 
threatening such behaviour turns against family values 
in favour of this one sided view that alters the truth


The True Church and His Teachings

The True Church and His Teachings 

His church is his people,.
His classroom is the good earth.
His tools are Love, Faith and Understanding,
His word is from God, and Prayer.,
His people are the poor in spirit, the lame to life,
The blind of life, and the misunderstood of life’ ways,
He opens eyes with Faith, love and Understanding.
He opens ears with God’ Words, and Truth.
He opens hearts with God’ Word, Truth and Love.
He is gentle and humble.
He is full of Forgiveness.
His teachings are of God’s gift,
of everlasting life.
For God’s Heart brings Heaven to earth,
And Love and Understanding all People of all Nations,
It's not about money or how much you can get,
It's not about how smart you are,
It's not about putting others down,
It's not about not paying your taxes,
It's not about anything except God and you,

False Teachings

All in your riches cursed by your word
Making up these lies about faith which is absurd
Making your profits off people by false prophets
All surrounded by people who are lost for you cost us

Leave us to die by your money and fake dream
Jesus is the word not your deceiving satanic theme
Speaking out faith unto all the ones you deceive
Manifesting your lifestyles by the things we can perceive

How dare you trick the people into a life of pure rejection?
How can you speak such lies, which you claim to be perfection?
Heretics all around ready to submit you to the serpent 
Speaking words of disgust with your filthy sermons

Jesus is all loving and yes he is humble
For the dark seeds you sow he will make your world tumble
Jesus is almighty and shall be worshipped right
The way you preach to your people like a shark with a deadly bite

Charismatic smiles along with menacing laughter
Bringing this world to Satan is what you are really after
Preaching the act of tithing and yet you don’t give in
Greed has got you by your soul burning brightly in sin

Surly you must sense that of which you desire
Surly you must know that you will burn in the lake of fire
I hope you know what you are doing; how you destroy the lives of many
For all the things you preach are not worth one measly penny

I sure do take offense to all your false teachings
Dragging innocent people to Hell all in your deceitful teachings
You will pay for the heresies of which you claim to be true
You will surly burn in Hell… All of you

Christmas Teachings

pre-Christmas poem for 2014               


Making out my list while sitting in my room
Thanksgiving is almost here and Christmas will follow soon.
Thinking about the decorations that I plan on putting out
Because decorating for Christmas is what I’m all about.
I love to see the children s smiles and hear their comments too
Of what they’re wishing for Christmas and what they plan to do.
Most are dreaming of bicycles and toys of every kind
While the parents are keeping track and watching every dime.
We were once those same children who waited patiently
To see what Santa would put underneath our Christmas tree.
To children – Christmas is of toys and being out of school
Yet they’re not being taught how Christmas came to be
Of how a child called JESUS CHRIST set mankind free.
If they was to take CHRIST out of Christmas
There would be no holiday and children would have no gifts
Or toys with which to play.
The birth of CHRIST is the reason we celebrate this day
The reason children get toys and the grownups kneel to pray.
He was born in a manger in a bed made of hay when the three kings came
They all knelt down to pray.
He was born the king of kings of that there is no doubt
He showed the world Love and Peace and that’s
What Christmas is about?
Love one another and share the Christmas joy
This is what we were taught by this little boy.

Everythings Green

Mr. Armstrong

an alien unseen

wrote with my pen

saying frog legs

are an order undone...

so what would it mean

if the play of the day

played out onscreen

would the Stonehenge astronaut

know where to begin

gone for so long

dragon Sang

Sung that song

and so what of

the Jedi Queen

away on holiday

in the space between

"it's hardly two worlds"

to know where I've been...

"so hear I am

to appear amid

the four-seen"

Teachings

Epilepsy is something I never had
And for that I will always be glad.
I've been shot, fell off a cliff and even been in a house fire
But the day I had a fit is my least desire.
It was something I could never fully explain
It's left it's mark within my brain.
The Dr's didn't know where to point the blame
I feel for anyone who goes through the same.

I honestly think mine was for a reason
I seem to change with every new season.
I think I was fighting on the wrong side
I needed the kick I refused to abide.

Life has a habit of clinging to me
Suicide? I climbed back up the tree.
The last thing I had just me and my drink
Now I can't keep it down, it's down the sink

You told me I was wise
When I spoke of what you Taught me
But the moment I made my own truth
You stopped listening.

Premium Member SEVEN GRANDFATHER TEACHINGS


It’s ironic isn't it…how even though we tried to destroy indigenous cultures 
and replace them with our own.
how even though we no longer want this history to be known…

How in spite of all this and the indignities they suffered…
all their heartache..all their pain
In spite of our best efforts…their cultures and their teachings still remain.

And how those of us displeased with the culture we replaced theirs with
are now ready (with their guidance)…their culture and their teachings to preserve….
ready to finally give them the respect, the admiration and honor they deserve.

Ready to listen to the 7 grandfather teachings…
to learn how to be compassionate…how to forgive…
to give honor to our life not by what we say…but…by how we live.

The 7 teachings are not frightening…
but are as honest and spiritual as can be be…
They are: Love, respect, truth, wisdom, honesty, bravery and humility.

Each of these 7 grandfather teachings is represented by an animal…
since they understood nature could teach us a thing or two….
If you want to know more about these as well as which animals go with which teaching…
Well…I leave that up to you.

Yes, In spite of our best efforts…of a culture and teachings we tried so hard to spurn…
Their cultures and teachings have survived…
which means we still have time learn.

To reach into their culture and their teachings
and see what peace and balance they can bring…
To finally learn from those we tried to erase…
how to respect all living things.

The Man and His Teachings

He sat in a boat at the edge of the sea,
The people thronged Him,
They hungered for His words,
His words flooded the gloom cloaked in them,
They filled the fissures that ran in them,
They were saddled with life's weights,
They were victims of circumstances,
Troubled by life’s vicissitudes,
They were in search of a saviour,
They desired a deliverer,
Spiritual gatherings were
 uncommon in those days,
At the end of His teaching,
He told the sea men to launch their nets,
The life beneath gave heed,
They ran into the nets,
They yielded themselves for a catch, 
They obeyed His call.

Know This Drop That

The way up, is down
Even if only on your knees
Believe this, in Jesus Sermon, 
Matthews (5,6,7): humble like these
Children, said He: you are One
Of a kind, His masterpiece
But everyone he made alike as peas
Along with this Earth Pod. I know
I also fought, once against two
I slipped, but enemies saw me fall
I kicked rapidly on my back, they flew
Like vultures in terror of a predator
I was uplifted, my faith grew
Because as I fought, I yelled JESUS
EACH KICK RENEWED His energy
Yet I went, later, the very same day
Apologized I had failed and fallen
Saving two beautiful friendships
For a moment twisted by all our pride
But the fall reevaluated my relationships:
I was down, not out, Lord has my back & hide

The Maladroit Teachings of the Human Skul

A cracked and empty skull
makes a beautiful flower pot,
desk tidy or paperweight.

Place a nightlight in that osseus cave
and it will become a small table lamp.

Through the ages
monks have harvested skulls;
some sanctuaries and chapels
are built on human bones
and the skulls form their central alter.

Mystics understand
that this is the ultimate jaw-dropping sermon.

The human skull reminds us that death leaves
its own gravestones.

We can grin back at that once visible face
pondering its ever static tidings

to wit, that this rattling boneyard dream
simply must have its One Last Word.

Archetypal

I am not your archetypal sort

My views and beliefs are all self taught

Based around my own thoughts

Within my own conscious mind

Questioning all truths and beliefs

One thing that I have seen is nothing

Is ever what you think it to be

We accept to much compliantly

Accept what we are so blindly

We never seem to dig deeper to see

If what we are learning stands up to critical scrutiny

We must ask questions and look at sides and aspects fully

If we are to find the truth of all things

You cannot just fall into line like a sheep

Following every word that they preach

Accepting every thing that they teach

Abiding by every single policy

Because when others understand you just accept their bidding

They will feel they can do anything without you questioning

Then they will exploit you

Then they will abuse you

Because then they will believe that they have control over all you do

Stop and question everything

Don’t be the archetypal compliant being

Scrutinise all that you’re told

And question all the beliefs and teachings you’ve been sold

And you will see this is good for the soul.
