They died in silence, but they died
They cried in silence, but they cried
They shrieked they shouted, who knew?
You ask why know, what could you do?
But you focus on some trendy cause
A life under a lamppost, to peer applause
Outside the light, the monsters roam
I don't see you straying out of the dome.
You live in a bubble, a bubble others made
Its a shallow pond in which you wade
confirmation bias, and a wrong path
Few people leave it, few do the math.
One day the fists will rattle your door,
You'll plead for reason, you'll ask "what for?"
So, investigate now, let the circle extend
When the mob refocuses, every man needs a friend.
I wrote this poem, after I read Raymond Ibrahim
He talked of places where some lose, some win
Lots of conflict of which I knew zero
I can't really help, but he's a hero.

A nod means 'yes'
Is enough not
To say 'I do'.

some hear Audible Voice some see Vision Some Dream dreams and that I wait my predestined estate I asked for what's for me can't I'll wait await my confirmation
Some with a third eye they do spy the figures movement of Shadows fully encapsulated black and white only color as the residue upon me and around you energy swore like bees working making honey
Tensions War ped into the reality fuse would say they have distant testimonials of what they have me displayed I await my predestined hope I will await my confirmation
From my heavenly host
So I've been there and far as I see the stars some wave some winking me I often Ponder as I wonder and my all that I should and will be
Asking those questions why what is the why and what is the reason for the why or no who and I know where but I don't know when and I don't know why gather the thoughts on this plane witnessing this new thing all right patiently awaiting and Glory is God continued to write my story
I await awaiting my confirmation...

One of the best things to do when someone is reeling
Take time to acknowledge how they are feeling,
Let them know you are confirming their hurt
And doing your best to bring some comfort.

When we find our convictions attacked,
we rely on a deck neatly stacked.
There’s a cool little bias
that will always supply us
with a handy alternative fact.

-this is 6!
-no! this is 9!
-with 6 I'm the truth!
-no! you belie it! with 9 I'm the truth!
For the true and the lie
We, the people are tired
this is earth
that is space
here we are walking
there we are flying (have to fly)
but we, the same person (here and there)
some difference
makes us quarrelsome!
if we want
we can solve it together
solve it in a peaceful mind better
but we don't want to understand each other!
cause we, every people live in the confirmation bias!

Wayward lightning conceives a fiery stream.
Owl retreats to a gash atop a great elephant's tree.
From purple mountain to shimmering sea.
The blaze eats deeply into a stash of sanity.
Upon a land of char, they're gathering burning stones.
To unleash a final volley into the wreckage of his soul.
Tiring of the game the vultures bounce- bounce away.
Praying for lightning to rekindle their black curtain play.

When she turned to me,I admired what she prefer,
How did it occur?
Obviously,it was items I initially disprefer,
Beautiful latchet bag at my back,
Please hope you've being referred?
Her parent invited me to enjoy with them at the national park,
Eish,something it wasn't deterred,
All this while of preparation,
Marriage was her basic affair,
Annexed before confirmation,
I'm happily agreeing to consolidate with an eminent girl,
Who can define this story?
If there's a sound from a bell,
We've seen light this morning,
But we know darkness had already fell,
That person surely will be your joy,
After you've toiled,
Say it all!

The Sacrament of Confirmation
Confirmation perfects baptismal grace
The Sacrament gives the Holy Spirit to root us more deeply in divine filiation
Incorporate us more firmly to Fr. Christ
Strengthen our bond with the Church
Associate us more closely with her mission
Help us bear witness to Christian faith in words accompanied by deeds
Like Baptism imprints a spiritual mark or indeliable character of the Christian soul
For this reason one can receive this sacrament only once in one’s life
A candidate for Confirmation has attained the age of reason must profess faith
Be in the state of grace
Have the intention of receiving the Sacrament
Be prepared to assume the role of disciple
Witness to Fr. Christ, both within the Ecclesial bond
Annointing of the forehead of the baptized with sacred chrism
