Judgement And Eternity

Heaven spare nobody
Fate don't respect status
There's no partiality to all
Justice is due to culprit
Not a blind to innocence 
Innovation of law may allow
An stronghold to every choices
God never cease to offer peace
But no room to controversies 
Man may go to the extreme
Of friendship with the adversary
God has too spacious to grace
Never cease love to all in display
Remember in all human frailties
There's a judge that weight everything 
In the balance of eternity.

Marilyn Monroe

For 'Guess Who' contest sponsored by Margarita Lillico

Born in the abode of the angels,
a blooming rose beautiful and coy;
Glance even from different angles,
as always you were a world of joy;

You rose to dizzy heights and stardom,
there was a time all you touched was gold;
Life of parties in glitzy filmdom,
t'was tragic to see your life unfold;

Caught in the murky web of showbiz,
you tried to be the part of it all;
Many marriages, heartbreaks, never is
easy to get over, and play ball:

Health took a turn for the worse for you,
but you neglected it to stay on top;
A magnet as controversies grew,
you were from a unique field and crop;

Hollywood is a scary place love,
should've known before diving headlong;
it has robbed your sweet innocence dove,
now, sleep ports you to where you belong.

Controversy

For Natalia Kills


Are the majority
of things in
life controversies?
It seems like
there is always
another side
of the story
You have to
maneuver delicately
amidst the minefields
of trepidations that
pester your 
daily routine
Even simple decisions
can cause angst
Who to go out with?
Where to go? When?
Others are involved
making it hard
to appease everyone
Such is life

Perspective On Compartmentalization

Aiming to organize perfectly with zest
Brain of mine braces up against distraction's pest
Compartmentalization becomes clear mindset as best
Dividing rightfully; yet what along how is a challenging test...

Each has proper place in every way
Failure to do so may, can and will cause delay
Good thinking should function along wisdom ray 
Hoisted by trust, prayer-propelled... smiting dismay...

Inevitable occurrences along puzzling maze
Juggling concerns creating issues of mental craze
Keep me confused vis-a-vis compartmentalization blaze...
Lord, help me, I beg to face controversies with simplicity-gaze...

Mental attitude of triumphant glow
Now is my goal against faith* that's shallow
Optimizing divine direction with optimism as I follow
Perspective of wholistic pursuits and wholesome serenity-flow.

*Romans 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Deborah

Deborah

Mother in Israel, clothed in armor
Hill country courtroom ‘neath her lush palm tree,
Judges disputes between landlords and farmers
Judgements, like sweet dates, God's chosen agree.

Clothed by prophecy, Daughter of the Lord
Feeds Israel on God’s bread of mercy
A hunger for fairness – justice restored -
Lappidoth’s wife, resolves controversies.

Hears on the wide plain, iron chariots thunder
To end pagan rule, her wisdom now taught; 
Song of praise rises, sung from her wonder,
Victory comes from God’s plan that she sought.

She Still Never Falls

On the west coast of Africa
Stands there, the realm of liberty, Sierra Leone
She hosts men of but no clone
Many of her descendants are erudite
These men of controversies
Who seem to read only their self-verses
With their longing for power
Causing peaceful chaos in this blessed land.

The countrypeople are lopsided:
Some breed violence
Because they have always swept off peace;
Some chase equanimity away
Because they have dug and buried love
Minds of countermove
All these encumber development
And yet we profess nation building
Which is not so.

Albeit the strifes and brawls
If we be transformed in positive measure
We can still swim in the pool of country pleasure 
Endowed in the fountain of peace
We should watch not ourselves of brag
But overshadowed by the whitish color of our flag
Our anthem of uniqueness.

O how bright it is to unite, to come together!
If we do this
With the anchor of ‘Together we rise’
By the weapon of oneness
Like those builders of Babel’s tower
We shall surely progress in building our nation in an hour
And in a unified coexistence.

Apologists

...anywhere and about, an apology alters an argument.
Before--bickering breaths boxed bigotry besides bettering bases.

Closure cutoffs, constants considerable circulation, contradicting confusing controversies.

Detrimental debates deliver disturbing discernment, distinguishing divisions' defense.

Every episode extracted evidence, excluding even elements.
Familiar facts fathomed fantastic fiction, fractured factions--following...
(the last line returns to the first line and ends)

Mistletoe and Christmas

Mistletoe and Christmas go hand in hand
The mistletoe and its beautiful cherries
Christmas carols and bells, bright stars and pine trees
With light snowfall can create a winter wonderland.

What a spectacle of lights and divine beauty
The whole world celebrates awesomely
The birthday of Jesus Christ born in Africa
What a shock for the entire Diaspora!

Baby Jesus was different, that’s why
From the crèche they wanted to sacrifice and crucify
Him, their goal was to kill Him like a goat
Which they did, but He returned. It’s time to gloat.

The Messiah can be a subject of controversies
Deceptions, propaganda, polemics and inconsistencies
Oh! This is Noël, let’s rejoice and enjoy the feasts
At least and at last in this joyous season, let’s live in peace.

The Visionary

He talks and acts accordingly
On his beliefs and visions
He spans through successes
Failures and break-ups
He embarks on countless trips
To the realm of ideas
And crystallizes them
To profit the system
He tends.
He has  direct-dial button
To the souls and aspirations
Of his followers
He is always running
Since he knows
Time is ticking and fleeting...
He constantly cites
The latest need for the system
And when running floods of ideas
Begin to level off
He is there to put the best spin
On the buttons.
The running floods of ideas
Never tire rather fires him
Into churning out projects
With crystal streams of resounding successes.
Though feuds and controversies may rise
He remains undaunted in
Actualising his vision and ideas.
A true visionary is centuries ahead of his time...
And indeed a “COLOSSUS”

Memories

An illusion  from stories
Referred to as histories
With different mysteries
And diverse controversies

Our teachers would tell us
You will miss some on the way
Some which will naturally pass away
And others that will go astray

We however believed in forever
But then like a dream
We saw our biggest joke
Gradually turning into reality

Now for the past we have memories
For histories and history books to contain
When we the containers of the memories
Are no more.

Controversies :: Crapsey Cinquain

Caused by
lack of skills to
speak with real confidence
of arguer; showing they lack
wisdom.

Shiiish

Shiiish

They plugged their ears
then taped eyes shut
such their lips were likewise sealed
they stayed at home
shopped online
for hats and shoes for deals

They closed their doors
then closed their minds
left all that trouble outside
skimmed the channels
perused the net
stayed awake till half past five

They heard nothing
or offered opinion
avoiding all current controversies
agreeing where necessary
smiling courteously
indulged in selfish photography

They died as it were
without warning or fuss
t'was announced on social media
Maggie and fred
were missing and dead 
from googling and Hypoglycaemia

Skeptical Thoughts

SKEPTICAL THOUGHTS
In a world where there is black and white.
You take two roads but which one is right?
Either it could lead us to failure or succes,
Ending up with triumph or death betrays,
Life is uncertain and has bunch of questions.
We live each day not knowing the ultimate purpose.
But we keep on breathing, fighting with no reason.
Because it's strictly necessary for survival.
The world is full of pleasure and pain.
We keep on tasting temptations... 
But we ended up burning and blaming,
Learning lessons but we keep on doing.
How many times do we need to fall apart
Pick the pieces of ourselves and puzzle it back?
For we don't understand how that just happen?
The world has many controversies to solve.
But people rather talk nonsense ...
They are sick, delusional, tired and complaining.
Is anything being solved at a time?
Are primary issues get even worse?
Because each day we face seems to be skeptical.
Just like how we live life - everything is unanswered.

My Travel To My Inside

My Travel to my Inside

 

It is raining outside
Water is running as flood in gutters
But Inside
I am burning  in extreme heat
It is a gate of palace
Tons of gold and unlimited gems
But inside
I am in dirty rags
Light showering  moon in the sky and
Cluster of  twinkling stars
But inside
Blind dark forest
Innumerable relations
As father, mother and son
But inside
Wandering as lonely orphan
Too many controversies and cons
Before realizing me
He turned my last page of life
To come out from meaningless shouts
I am travelling in to me
