Best You Decide Poems


Premium Member Fair and Balanced--We Report, You Decide

The message they mete out is strong
It's cooked at the top but smells wrong
This cursed wurst to eat 
Slice of life that looks neat  
A baloney treat for the throng

Premium Member Conservative Hubris, Liberal Guilt - You Decide

My friends I’ve had a great idea,
I have to let you in on,
I can’t believe that no one else
Has thought of this before.

You all know how the NRA
Says guns have made us safer?
Well this should make the rabid cheer
Saint Brian has the floor!

You’d think that someone else would think
To just	 extend their logic
To bring about world peace perhaps
Would only take a day.

Just give a portable A-Bomb
To each and every voter,
Perhaps the Congress would respect
What people have to say.

We’ve all grown tired of hairless apes
Attacking like piranhas
The moment that a party man
Shows sign of intellect.

They dare suggest that all our woes
From highways down to healthcare
Can somehow be directly caused
By government defect?

It’s not our government at fault
But jerks avoiding taxes,
That corporations have a voice
Is just their latest ploy.

The fact that profit trumps all jobs
Means workers have less money
To buy the products they create
The nation’s fate a toy.

These men, these so-called patriots	
Who hate the poor that feed them,
Suppress their votes at every turn,
Mass pillage is their plan.

But so seductive is their path
The poor think they are heroes,
Cannot appreciate the odds,
Confused by devil’s clan.

And every day the gulf between
The rich and poor gets wider,
What’s left to think except the rich
Are bound for suicide.

While they themselves may miss the heat
Live high on hog’s best tokens,
Their children certainly will not
Escape the bloody tide.

And God, I hate to say so but
I fear we eat our children,
Blind faith in technological
Advance could be our end.

A reverence for Nature has
Just vanished from our culture,
The only truth remaining is…
‘Just how much can I spend?’

When You Decide To Get Glad

Satan will drive you MAD,

When you decide  to get GLAD.

That old devil thinks he is bad.

The best he had; he is mad,

That he no longer has access,

To heaven, and there he wants

No human to be dwelling. He wants

No one excelling. His motives are MAD. He

Misuses,

Abuses and

Destroys.

The things that make you GLAD

God's plans for your

Life

And it is also called your

Destiny.

 

So rememember from January to December

Satan lingers around you to attempt to drive

You MAD, when you decide to get GLAD.

How Do You Decide

It is the latest news that even claimed attention there in London...
A video clip somewhere in the city, the central part being redly encircled...

Drawing attention to the running digital display of a statement...
Of an Opposition leader to be imprisoned after a court judgement...

In a followup video received, we have the same politician in the flesh...
Fully coated, smiling wryly,  face sombre and eyes rather distressed..

He spoke calmly and elaborated clearly the circumtances...
That has brought him into the present situation of being handed a jail sentence...

His was a call to arms of sorts from one brave politician...
Sounds like he is an unique one in a million...

Someone like Lim Kit Siang or the famous Karpal Singh...
History will vouch for their persistent and righteous stand... 

Going headlong and butting the establishment...
When in truth they could choose to be in the pro government camp...

And be honored right up to Tan Sris or any other honorary titles...
And if Malaysian history is to fairly chronicled...

Men like these are men highly principled...
Here for their brethen, the community and the nation...

But their titanic and drawn out struggle for basic principles..
Is enspoused clearly in Bersih 5 and its objectives...

Listen friends, and do listen well, replay again if you must...
Think and decide, evaluate and then take sides...

For we can choose to be right, or we can take flight...
Now we are still free to be spoilt for choice...

Listen and decide, will you stand by  your decisive choice...???

Won'T You Decide To Follow Jesus

Won’t You Decide to Follow Jesus?

No good decision is made 
that starts out as a lie.
A wise decision is to live for Jesus!
Why not give him a try?

The truth is that HE died
 for me and you!
A decision to live for him
What’ll you do?

The lie is…  It doesn't matter what 
 choice you make.
The truth is...  You must do it now!  
Before it's too late!

You'll never know when your
 last day shall appear.
Your final day on earth 
could be very near!

A decision for Jesus is the best 
choice to be made.
His life for yours… 
At Calvary, has been paid!

Come to the cross and give 
everything to him!
Come and experience the joy 
of being born again!

A decision based on (God's)truth, 
is the best place to start.
Jesus' blood will cleanse you 
with a new heart!

His gift of salvation is offered 
to all of mankind.
Now’s the day of salvation! 
And the accepted time!

~You Decide~
(Monchielle)


You decide what's to be
Good or bad you're to choose
You serve God or devil
There's no way in between
You will be fine or revel

You decide what's to be
Two masters you can't serve
Hope you opt for what's right
Do what you think is wise
Let light shine your life bright

You decide what's to be
Hope you act very smart
Don't learn all the hard way
Life hard don't complicate
Be positive each day

You decide what's to be 
You have choices to make
No one can choose for you 
Results come from actions
Think before wrongs you do.

You Decide

You can’t progress 
Eyes can see it  
Your eyes show as clear as day 
You learned the art of taking advantage of others 
Maybe consciously maybe unconsciously 
Either way you learned it from another that did the same to you
And now you can’t shut it off 
Your addicted 
The question is 
Do you want to love 
Do you have the abilty to love 
Do you have the ability to grow into something further 
Something that can progress this world not destroy it
As some have so brilliantly showed in history thus far
After what has been done
Can you beat it 
Or is it something that is going to consume you
You have to acknowledge it for what it is 
Its not your fault that you learned it 
But it is your fault if you recognize it within yourself and you decide to use it for power 
For coercion, for seduction
You will never feel fulfilled 
Quite the opposite 
And in the end 
Its only you that will suffer 
You have to realize that by now 
Because if you don’t 
I fear that you may not see the end of your story 
Because you simply don’t want to or you are too stubborn to see
But the end is clear 
Now it is time for you to choose 
You decide

For What You Decide

''FOR     WHAT     YOU     DECIDE'' 

Hey...how you doin' 
No, I did not call up...to argue 
But I have to admit 
That I don't understand 
The reason you're acting, this way 
If it's something I said 
I'm sorry 
Though I cannot recall 
A harsh word 
In our last conversation 
I spoke from the heart 
Of my love and commitment to you 
I know how you 
Valiantly struggle 
With the issues of pain 
From your past 
And though try as you may 
It spills over into 
What we have 
But because of the way 
That I feel about you 
I stand firm 
When all others might run 
Finding new levels of 
Courage and patience 
Within me 
I realize you're having a 
Problem with trust 
But trust is 
A double edged sword 
And I need to trust 
That in some ways 
We're solidly rooted 
You can't want me today 
And not want me tomorrow 
Or sometimes, not know 
"What" you want 
This can't work if we 
Don't lay foundation 
And baby, I'm trying... 
So if you're not 
Feeling me...please 
Walk away 
This see-saw 
Is driving me crazy 
Im good to you 
Twenty-four, seven 
And yes, that's "my" choice 
But at least let me see 
That my feelings mean something 
Or that they mean nothing...at all 
The choice is now yours 
And I'm ready, 
For what you, decide

Well You Decide

**** me over **** me hard and dont forget to remove this shard, if glass could speak
 we'd all be weak.
**** me over and **** me hard and you can hide the glare but I know your card.
 All who reads this all who feeds bliss you love what you love and I love you but
 In the end I'm whos screwed, If we're weak enough to fall then I guess its me who's glued.
 Dont feed me this s.h.i.t don't feed me your food, would you call it gracious when I reside in such spacious liquid brewed?  I steer and when under my head is clear which is why The end is what I fear.

                                                                       -JLG

Just When You Decide

The barrier is broken 
And the captive is pardoned.

The stainless blood is shed
And there’s no more a tear.

He was bruised
That we may be healed.

In our darkest and deepest despair
The Master’s love quenches all senses of fear.

Thanks to the Prince
We are no more slaves to sin.

Because of His peace
We can finally be at ease.

The battle is done and the Victory is won
Only in Christ, the True One.

From Divinity to Humanity 
He offfers all Eternity.

Oh, what a Savior to behold 
With such favor to adore.

Redemption and Salvation
Are His ways of Divine Compassion.

Yes, Salvation! It’s no product of human action
But made available when you make that One Decision.

The decision to make Jesus the Lord of your life, Master of your heart
And Giver of your sight.

One step away
Please don’t delay.

He’s standing at the door of your heart, fully prepared to come inside
Just When You Decide.

You Decide

I love you
      he says, smiling.
   Twist his arms around mine,
   fingers along mine,
   mind at pace with mine.
Tick. Tock.
   I love you too
      whispered reply.
Empty words?

Only as empty as the smile.

You Decide

Beautiful I say
You’re beautiful
He laughs like moonlight on 
Water,
Flashes those dark green eyes,
Reminding me of cave walls I’d love to
Get lost in
My darling,
You scream of adventure and home.

Beautiful,
Just beautiful
I whisper from the other side of a 
Camera lense
Who would’ve thought
The collision of this day and the next
Would set the horizon on fire.

She paints words across my mind and I
Smile at her, my muse
Has a habit of finding a rhythm for
My woes
Crimson ink in our veins
She discovers more exotic words for ‘ beautiful’
But nevertheless she is.

A tiger at bay
Fighting to be the last words,
The pearl in the oyster,
She brings the ocean to June
With me, we climb mountains and sip
The clouds
Her smile, white and brown
The earth and sky meeting
She’s beautiful

They’ve taught me
Beautiful doesn't mean anything
Unless it sounds
Brand new
The moment it bubbles from my
Lips.

Ghosthunter Or Spiritualist You Decide

She gave a call at 6 am she needed my advice
the little one she could not sleep his ghost was always there 
I packed my bag and went to her for VIP extole 
the sewing room is where he was ^. ^. but let me tell you why, 

When he was bad, yes very bad she used to lock him up 
and so it was that when he died he could not see the light 
I achored him with words of trust and soon the wind was riled 
and like a whirlwind throughing out ,  he passed the other side   

She slept all sound from that day on because he crossed the thresh 
there are some things in life you can't resolve with concrete touch 
He was a child of beaten path suffering from enclosure 
but when the medium gave consent the portal opened wide 

When all else fails to work, its time for Spirit Guide and know 
this world is a transient passerby a temporal place of qualm 
and if you disbelief you lose,  the center of your calm 
I'd like to think there is much more then breath and earthly snore.

You Decide

Just because she blames me,
Does that mean i did it?
Just because she doesn't like me for being me,
Does that mean i have to change?
I cna be annoying,
I can be a pain,
But SHE is a hypocrite

Just because she calls me guilty,
Does that mean i am?
Just because she says so,
Does that mean it's true?
She is more experienced,
She has more rights,
But I am innocent

Just because she's mad at me, 
Does that mean i have to repent?
Just because she hates me, 
Does that mean i should go commit suicide?
I didn't do the right thing,
I made a mistake,
But I didn't do the wrong thing either...

Premium Member If you decide to get a cobra

If you decide to get a cobra
Better make it one who is black said Mrs. Minty.
We have a pet cobra that is white
She is prolific, her babies number twenty

I was horrified, for snakes are not my favorite things
I cannot imagine choosing to be with them.
And yet here was Mrs. Minty, whose praises many sing.
Who thinks a white cobra is her friend.
