Premium Member A Deep and Troubling Truth
Hands
Stretched out like branches
Reaching for the kiss of sun
An army of hands, brown hands
Stretched out at me
Shrivelled weak hands
Looking for their daily bread. 

Hands
With nobody to hold
No star close for them to touch
To shake off the dust and shimmer
Slowly move back to folded arms
Hands that...

A Series of Troubling Times
The black skies poured outside, the walls that kept me in, felt safer than ever. Every day, I stand here and wonder “why is the world like this?” The grueling discrimination over us, just because we are Jews, the hatred and disgust, they all send...

Troubling the Trouble
Troubling the trouble till it troubles, a trouble
Tempted to trouble the trouble, now he is troubled
To tell the tale of his test?
I'd better leave him with the narratives
The test of time, I'd stand 
doing whatever is true, noble, right and praiseworthy...

I can’t though; if even a peep comes out of my mouth I risk the lives of the others even before we get to the concentration camps.

Premium Member That Troubling Interdependent Sensory Web
I mean,
seriously?

Talk about
boundary issues!

I get it, 
why the 7th multicultural value,
and most recent
to finally make it in
to sacred UniversalYang/UnitarianYintegral
iconology,
doxology,
eulogy,
ecotherapeutic theology,
green ecofeminist ecology,
declares our polypathic RESPECT
for our interdependent sacred web
of life
reincarnating win/win love

As in,
could Elder EarthMothers
get a little RESPECT?

Which just might not fail to mention
that AnthroSupremacists...

A Series of Troubling Times Part 2
This society has turned into a dark, cold world. Where nobody was accepted for who they are, only by the religion they have possessed. I remember, from a long time ago my momma told me that “He is not who is judged by the religion...

Troubling Winds
Where do I run to when the earth is covered in gloom
Where do I flee to when it's all covered in darkness
Where to do you flee my soul in them times of trouble
Your refuge is with the Rock of the tribe of Judah

The waves roll...

Troubling Days Are Coming
Troubling Days Are Coming!

The Bible talks about trouble in the days ahead.
A person working a day for a loaf of bread.

It speaks of a lot of hardship in many places.
Much fear and panic upon people’s faces.

It talks about natural disasters on the rise.
This will catch...

These Are Troubling Times
What Does It All Mean?

By Elton Camp

There are many disturbing reports being heard
Expected and unexpected things have occurred
Earth is becoming more dangerous every day
Of wars, coups and poison gas, news reports say

Mass killers are more common than before
Terrorist plots are uncovered more and more
Unusual weather...

Troubling Blessings
A businessman impatiently needed blessings
for long his coffins had not been bought
debt-ridden and worried he was in the shop
upset he was with every ill-ness survivor
 
But glimmers of hope quivered into him mind
there was a priest praying over Christian faithful
to earn instant blessings from God...

Troubling the Soul
Troubling the soul
When all things seem to be untold, left to one day unfold.
To visit and no one is there. No one seems to care. What has become of you?
 What has become of me? Troubling souls innermost parts, battling two halves, of an equation....

Troubling Phone
Your phone brought me more fun 
When I’m staying alone at home 
Why can’t you go for some new one
Not using your troubling old phone...

Flies of Fate
Fly! Fly! Fly!
In the field of Reeds,
Walk through golden breeze,
Smell the scent of allure,
Clear sky and clearer mind.

Fate! Fate! Fate! 
Promise me the world over,
Promise me you wouldn't leave the prey.
Destroy all I love.
Grant me intoxicated blithe.
And let the flies of fate rain glory.

Burn! Burn!...
