The birthright
Do not mistake silence for peace, nor obedience for order. A chained heart can smile, but it does not sing. There is a flame born in every soul— not to burn, but to become a lantern. To lead. To warm. To remember the path home. Freedom is not permission. It is not granted by paper or throne. It is the breath between thoughts, the courage to speak when...

Birthright
Is Harry Potter hero or the son of nepotism ? Did you notice Parvati or a pinch of Racism? Where tempests do come and go Were Grendel and Caliban really the foe? Where perfect is hour glass figure And villian whom Conrad called To convert the world into battles of Verdun Is it pride or White man’s burden 45...

Premium Member Respect, My Birthright
Though the rain pounds outside, Bidding everyone in my surroundings To wear a grim frown On their faces I choose to open the door of my house And to run, bare feet, in the open Letting my skin be soaked With those drips dripping from the skies, Drips which ruin my brushed-up hair And smear my made-up face Making me look as messy as would Be...

Liberty Our Birthright
In the realm of freedom, we find our voice, Autonomy, our right, our ultimate choice. Independence, the key to unlock our chains, Liberty, our birthright, in our veins it remains. Self-determination, the power to lead our way, Self-governance, our duty, come what may. Sovereignty, our kingdom, our land to defend, Our rights and our freedoms, our beliefs to defend. In a world full...

Premium Member My Birthright
The thin steel blade glistens in the moonlight. I see as it rises from the lake, and Then I suddenly awake. My eyes focus then I see the red glaring light. Every night, the same dream, When I awake, all I feel is the regime. I remember nothing, Then one morning I awake, and the words, Come flooding out and I feel the...

Premium Member An Esau
An Esau lifts the carnal And mocks the spiritual Though he possessed the birthright He pursued the physical An Esau values his ways "Satisfy the appetite" Despise God's promised future A dangerous stew to bite An Esau rejects God's ways His birthright he sold for stew The cunning hunter is snared A misstep he can't undo An Esau forfeits blessing God's promise deemed a dud Prey to...

Premium Member The Birthright Coin Flip Game
Just flip a coin And you'll enjoy A newborn, bouncing baby boy. Just flip a coin And find a pearl A newborn, bouncing baby girl. Both born co-equal at the start - Co-equal with a heart, a mind, Yet differ as their lives unwind. Yes, down the lengthy road of life Through messages for roles we send Co-equal mostly seems to end. Abilities become obscure And with that...

Our Birthright
Our birthright is to clearly see What God reveals and speaks of thee In spirit's realm, we must engage Before things manifest on life's stage To this majestic force we yield Our worldly discourse now revealed With Christ, we rise to heavenly places And embrace a life of new graces A resurrected lifestyle we lead Empowered to meet our every need As we grasp the...

A Birthright
Before you are no more pass on something of meaning to a stranger some obscure legacy you have owned for at least a year for it has to have the touch of you upon it. Nothing engraved nothing jagged with cutting edges; a trinket, a small keepsake a solid wind-honed something that once was hand-made on nature's lathe, and because you have no idea whether that stranger will treasure it...

Birthright
They say opportunity comes with birth I do believe it's true, However, human inspiration is never just for the few Man makes his own luck, I've heard it said Spoken with privilege from ones homestead Catchment areas are all the rage Step up from the influence of those in a cage Education but not for the masses, I'm schooled in...

Our Birthright
A proprietary hold on God, religion does proclaim Defining what we know inside our souls will they reclaim The Cross or Torah, Buddhist lore each ritual decries What can’t be owned or scripted pure through centuries of lies Divinity a birthright deigned for those who search to find What God embeds in every soul —that structure can’t define (The New Room: May, 2022)...
