The manifold stars that blanket the sky
draw our eyes up in awe of the depths within sight
while turning us inward
to reflect upon God and His heavenly might.
As I gaze out at this starry expanse
and imagine all the work that it comprised
I realize that it could never have been just chance
that created the wonder now filling my eyes.
How amazing that God could create
this vast creation within our sight
and yet with that same mighty hand
gently opens our hearts to His heavenly light.

Dorothy's friends comprised a quite motley lot
Wanted Wizard to fix things that were shot.
Thought Wizard surely must know
best fixes for poor ego
Instead he said "These guys the best you've got?"

never afraid to ask many a question
never afraid to undertake a suggestion
are those with forward thinking drive
as they reach out further so they strive
steering away far from the hive like mind
and the blindness eyes of most humankind
not becoming lost inside the vast mind invasion
or falling for the tricks of one true great salesman
they don`t want to lose what they freely own
rather bled blood then be another duplicate clone
so they live their lives risking to be ostracized
never being the ones to become totally comprised
listening to both sides before making a decision
something we`ve lost with this new world vision
because they have different views and opinions
they are told they are societies biggest villains

There's no fiction within love far as the feeling is comprised
Don't know for certain, but it seems a true fairytale (surprised?)
Wrapped in this cocoon, two notes pressed on a vellum page
The finest to compose couldn't play our song; for a kings wage
In keys, so somber you flow throughout my melodies
A duet we are of the souls simple subliminal memories
Every moment of you, I find in time is this, now so comforting
When we meet in the next life, I hope you'll be my everything

Our
Hostess
Committee,
comprised mostly
of women, makes sure
the kitchen is stocked with
supplies, arranges and serves
meals for major church events and
bereaved families. Last, we clean up.
We serve cheerfully, for we feel honored.

When you’re on an endless highway
is there any hope at all
that a destination will be reached,
and you can finally fall
back in the arms of the one you lost,
in the home you left behind?
For despite the years spent traveling,
more highway’s all I find.
They say that life’s a journey,
comprised within a dream.
A quest designed to test the will
and faith in things unseen.
So each day when the sun sinks low
and the highway fades to dusk,
I look and see you standing there
and know I that can trust.
Thus, I keep traveling on and on
and fight this empty stare,
and fill the time with dreams of when…
I’ll finally reach you there.

Happiness is easily found in a multitude of the sweetest components
Grateful for you, often swept from the feats, of our hours, sharring meaningful moments
Your citrines comprised burning bright; scorching everywhere
As an orbited sphere; willed they are a perfect solar flare
Climbing a summit inside my thoughts; that is all you
Beside me, you wrap me up while we both enjoy the view
One could mine for eternity; excavating nothing valued; seeking a gem worthy of a crown
But, I would stop digging at the surface of the earth; if it matched your eyes, superfluous shade of brown

You carried HIS THRONE
...I should have my own
You worshiped HIS NAME
...I should be the flame
You did your duty, as commanded
...I will never be reprimanded
...by that MAN
The moment you saw
You could not un-know
How physics would let out
How life would flow
Plans and schemes
Then the declaration
In between it all
A valid accusation
I would be a better GOD
I am setting myself against Spirit
Don't try to send me help or TRUTH
I refuse to give ear to hear it
I will sit up a system for man
Comprised of honor and reward
God and country, served
With promise to shield from famine and sword
I will have an industry
Built on entertainment and pleasure
Creating a feeling of entitlement
For entering in at leisure
I've covered all the basis
With knowledge on its throne
I will harvest souls as payment
For humanity thinking they could own
....MY WORLD

Fifty years ago today
an attack was well underway
On Yom Kippur, October 6
Israel was in a fix
Egypt had invaded the Sinai
Syrians climbed down the Golan Heights
Arabs sought to recapture land
which they regarded as theirs 'by rights'
Three weeks later, Israel was up off her heels
at the gates of Cairo and Damascus
troops ready to seal the deal
But the US said No! Israel had to go
back to the preexisting status quo
2,400 died in defense of their nation
as Israel began to grow impatient
with their supposed Allies in the West
When on your holiest day, your enemies attack
Why should you give what you captured back
______________________________________
The 2,412 soldiers who died comprised 1% of
Israel's Jewish population in 1973. A comparable
figure would be 300,000 American soldiers dying
in a four-week war in 1973.

This years most prized
Hottest ticket above all
Red carpet
Socialite Charity Event
The Guest list comprised of the
Who's , who amongst the elite
Those who are actually in the know
And the conversation in between
3* Star Michelin dinning courses
Drifted into the aristocracy saying
Rather than let the poor and needy
Starving and going hungry
Eat cake instead
Of stale old mouldy bread
Whilst congratulating one another
Sipping and raising a toast
On Vintage Champagne
Costing over $2k a pop
Which cost no where near as much
As their designer bespoke suit
Hand crafted jewellery
Or Watch
And you don't even want to know
Just how much the actual price of the
Ticket cost
Because that will surely
Take the Cake
And prove exactly just how entirely
Fake this all in fact is
And who truly benefits
From Charity most above all

A book comprised of sixty-six,
with content of a unique mix.
Though found in almost every home,
It’s very much an unread tome.
The authors were a motley crew,
Into whose minds the Spirit blew.
Its storyline is God’s great love,
revealed through Christ sent from above.
Most other books, mere knowledge give,
But The Book changes how we live.
It has a storied history,
Yet most find it a mystery.
As best-seller, it has no peers,
It outsells all books year by year.
Most governments its impact fear,
They ban it from the public sphere.
The more obscure The Book is made,
the more society’s morals fade.
Crime rates increase, there is no peace,
As men are controlled by caprice.
You want to save the human race?
then give The Book its rightful place.
We sure can use God’s saving grace,
So, let’s stop flying in His face.

A quiet cove with mangroves
Sitting in beach chairs
"That sounds wonderful," you say
But in my dream we both were there
I don't recall that much detail
Other than to say
Our feet were cooling in the flow
Of lapping waves that day
The shadows started to lengthen
The sun began to fall
Hand in hand in silence
We watched the curtain call
The last thing I remember
One single thought comprised
I was thinking as I kissed you,
"She's got the most incredible blue eyes!"

On a compromise which comprised of all the things left unspoken,
While comprehension and codependence due to run rampant.

f this is your thought
Or your belief
My opinion nor conviction
I shall not bequeath
We are each made different
His intention to be
Your thoughts, my thoughts
Are different you see
To force my thoughts
Or make you see
With thine own eyes
shall never be
So few words, such great meaning
That age old saying still true
Agree to disagree
That’s all we need to do
Unity is comprised
same thoughts or beliefs
Amongst comfort of many
It’s such a relief
For this beautiful world
It could be so grande
Respect our differences
United we’d stand
Opinions are great
Each have our belief
Force ours onto others
Breeds resentment and grief
For my convictions
I hold them strong
If yours aren’t the same
Doesn’t mean we are wrong
Open your heart
Have open mind
Do not force yours
I not force mine
Try it once
Its somewhere to start
Still are the lips
Full is the heart
Now we’ve learned
One important lesson
For all who are near
A lasting impression
I know and you know
What we should do
Agree to disagree
My challenge to you

Just imagine if when next the heavens opened
The rain comprised of kindness and peace
Which was caught and bottled
To the world released
Every drop of water consumed
Contained pure kindness and peace
Whether it be straight water or not
These two virtues would hit the streets
Water in every shape and form
Natural or processed food or drink
Mankind ingesting these two virtues
Our world would change in a mere blink
Alas, If only it was that simple
To heal and mend our troubled earth
Troubles created solely by mankind
Simply neglecting nature and human worth
