Are we the shade of the shadow
or a shadow in the shade.
Are we sashaying toward pinhole dreams?
While trudging above an open grave.
It all seems like a giant garish gothic play
acts and players hand-picked centuries in advance.
Hobbled masses humbly kneel on crumbs to pray.
Realizing opinion nor ballot was ever worth a damn.
These two-legged, greedy, greasy snakes.
Eyes made of slag have no vacancy signs.
Clogging up our gossamer soul veins.
They're here to minimize, intimidate.
Project, disappear, dismiss, assassinate.
Straitjacket the masses with normalized madness.
We, the people, are not the ones playing God.
Poisoning water, field, sky...
Smiling in the light while eating innocents.
In the shadow of ritual and sacrifice.
These devils openly mock and taunt us now.
(byproducts of a boiling swamp).
Yellowing the face of flailing freedom.
A billion greenbacks can galvanize
such audacity and shallow bravery.
Of these deeply soiled oligarchs
and pathetic plastic kings.
If I have the love from God
I'll have joy with the love and joy of God
There will be peace when in my relationship
I am patient I am kind and the goodness all gleaned from God
My traits shall be in my Christian Life faith
Gentleness in control agape shara an inner rejoicing
That abides despite outer circumstances peace
Inner quietness and trust in God's sovereignty and justice
Love agape as shown by Jesus
Faithfulness gentleness self-control byproducts
Of Christ Spirit produced character traits
A seed we must know Him we must love Him
We must remember Him we must imitate Him h
His purpose involves simply not just
For the production of a single fruit
We want the fruit of the spirit to grow in US
We must align our hearts to pump new
flowing blood we must reverence and believe
This we, we have the fruit of the Spirit

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2022
With the occurrence of an incident and involvement in a situation
Decision awake to be made
They are the byproducts of thoughts, choosing her promotes and degrade life qualities
It is ancient like the universe
World leaders are conscious of her spell
She is involve in every live events
Decision cause the occurrence of day and night
Decision entangles the mind to move higher
Presidents are made in a democracy government by her unity
Wars happened by it clashes
She causes the simplest and impossible thing to happened
She is the simplest but the most powerful tool life can boast of
Without decision there could be not life.
Desire for relief becomes a bane
to the health beyond the pain
when the angst has assumed
proportions past the natal wound
the remedy has long ceased
even as disaster builds
as byproducts are ignored
against the numbing of the balm
clearly sought to assuage
anguish found beyond the base
if only life was more than strife
self-medication would be denied
the impostor has been seen
still this path is pursued
gladly sucked with due shame
as false relief fills a frame
the curative has been bypassed
by transgressions to the flesh
embarked upon to find relief
from the ills beyond the pain.
Chemist Charlie Chuckles,
How clumsy her cackle,
Creating chemical cosmos.
Consorting with cats,
Chemical mishaps,
Oh, Charlie Chuckles the chemist!
Chemist Charlie Chuckles,
Cryptic crossword lover,
Confident clinical fellow.
Crazy misconduct,
Caseous byproducts,
Oh, Charlie Chuckles the chemist!
Chemist Charlie Chuckles,
With curly crimpled quiff,
Coat cleaned in century bygone.
Cheeks coloured charcoal,
Crooked chin mouthful,
Oh, Charlie Chuckles the chemist!

Love
A four letter word
Something I feel
For
My dearest Danielle
And
MaySea in the whole why way
What is the why way?
I wonder
Why is the world this way?
Happiness
I currently feel for
My love's, sleeping so
Peacefully
My daughter Avril
Her brother Paxton
My beloved son
Whom
I miss with all my heart
As
I watch their baby sister fast asleep
She is an angel
Not forgotten by
More so unknown to
Her big brother and sister
Whom
She's yet to meet
Not by choice.
Unfortunately byproducts of choices made for them.
Fear
Resides within my hope
Lurking
Hidden behind
Evident in my eyes
And
Vividly present while dreaming
Biologically speaking
Now nightmares are
Felt as a nightmare is now a day out with my own mother and my very own brother.
I couldn't have ever imagined such pain
But love remains
And gratitude genuinely appreciates every aspect of this love
Watching Danielle and MaySea sleep
A beautiful blessing
My angels
My all
My everything
My Miracles
Love
A four letter word

When
Will we accept our idealist indirection?
Deviated by selfish deviance;
byproducts of our own deceits.
Hope
Remains in anonyms who grasp moralizing concepts.
Courage must manifest promised tangibility.
Despair
Cripples forces of hope;
Sprinkling dreary forecasts, only to be left in doubt.
Questionable answers are found, such as...
Why do we be what we are?
