Two Builders
The Qin Shi Huang Empire built the marvelous China Wall.
The Flavian kings built the elegant Colosseum.
Just as the earth, an edifice needs to be safe for all.
Anyone who enters therein should feel inner freedom.
Though not thick, shouldn't the walls, like one's willpower, be strong?
Like virtues and values, shouldn't pillars and beams withstand?
Like healthy flesh and

For Dream Builders Only
10/15/2023
Who ever declared you cannot?
Is a full blown, liar I promise you.
In their lives, they failed at some task.
And now?
The unmitigated gall, to drag you
into heartbreak row?
Do not buy losers' stories!!
To those with fortitude and gall ~
Comes an entirely, different story!
One where there was loss and
then came great glory.
I have experienced this myself
and know the

The Builders
The builders
At the end of the avenue stood a big, white residence
with a splendid garden with trees and flowers
Generations of titled people had visited this house even
it is said; the king of Portugal
Time changes even great families die out and the house
was left to its own device and the garden a paradise for
Cats and rats

Builders Vs Looters - Bitcoin Poem 044
Refrain from playing the looter
Or the parasite who takes
But always remain a builder
And known as one who makes
Yes build your life, proud and true
This is the Bitcoin way
Though looters claim we owe them
As Ayn Rand used to say
The looters count on Atlas…
That he’ll hold the world in place
But one day he will simply shrug
And

Builders Are We
BUILDERS ARE WE
Build life around the word that comes from God.
If we choose to build on other terms—
Use self and others and things, to build—
We’re bound to glean an empty structure,
With small meaning, and no way left
For us to find the Master Builder.

Tribute To Orphanage Moms As Life Builders
Life building is your calling

Night Light
Night Light
David J Walker
By night
In flight
You can see the lights that
Blink and shine on the
City of the Mesa
Hundreds of thousands crowd
The borders and boundaries of
The out-of-date asphalt plat
Where farm and field
Yield
to the plans of the
City planners
Pushing the planters
Further south by southwest
Where Builders
In hot pursuit bring
cash

Builders building the building so high,
Are you competing with the mighty sky?
No, this building , however it seems
Is the foundation of a young man's dreams!
Builders building the marquee belle and frail,
Why some sobs are sailing in the gales ?
As the marriage of the maiden is near,
These are the sound of her bridal tears!
Builders building something

The Ruin In a Modern English Translation
THE RUIN
an Old English poem about fate & destiny
modern English translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
well-hewn was this wall-stone, till Wyrdes wrecked it
and the Colossus sagged inward...
broad battlements broken;
the Builders' work battered;
the high ramparts toppled;
tall towers collapsed;
the great roof-beams shattered;
gates groaning, agape...
mortar mottled and marred by scarring hoar-frosts,
the Giants’ dauntless strongholds decaying with age...
shattered, the

The Builders
A team of architects blew a big hole
on a mountainside and built a housing block
of 14 floors tall.
The country had a northerly wind often called
Stalin´s revenge, it even made summertime chilly.
The block faced southward and had big windows
and a mirror system giving light in all rooms.
The edifice was given a name,

Life Builders
Privileged to be entrusted with God’s manifold* grace
life builders in divine kingdom enterprise
stewards assured of eternal investment
constantly strive --- despite confessed weariness
--- maximizing discipleship opportunities
while yielded to the Almighty.
Life builders, prayer warriors ---
indeed fulfill ordained sentry role
steadfastly serving, yet guarding themselves
against pernicious selfishness
lurking to dampen spirit of volunteerism
in the guise of sincere
