We walk this earth
To find out what it's worth
Chasing copper and gold
Just watch a journey unfold
I soak in the shimmering sea
Spread out as if just for me
There are heroes we meet
And villains we must defeat
There are secrets so obvious
And truths so deceitfully devious
There's value in a smile
Even if it's only once in awhile
There's pleasure in pain
When you find strength to rise again
I want to see it all
Before the final curtain call
And as I walk this earth
One day I'll know what it's worth

Find fortitude and strength when life gets tough
Keep going when the future's looking rough
Step back from those whose only claim to fame
Is deceitfully blackening your name.
Sadly there are those who will bring you down
Turning smiles upside down and brows to frown
They’ll get their comeuppance, yes that is true
For God knows exactly the bad they do.
He will look out for us, no matter what
Some things are certainly never forgot
So live in the peace that's truly deserved
Enjoy each moment, forget someone's curse.
Silence listens when one’s being back stabbed
One day those guilty will get their own back.

Behold the glory,
The bible is a great story,
His story,
History.
A mystery to me,
I know what I can be,
The one you made me,
King of my reality.
So they can see,
Their true identity,
To end the misery,
Fed deceitfully.
Misguided for centuries,
Tied to fallacies,
Stalling spirituality.
Hiding duality,
Within a form of purity,
Tainted by the greedy,
To keep you needy.
Lost without hope,
Looking to the Pope,
Reaching for a preacher,
A shepherd, not a teacher,
Keeping you from reaching deeper.

Money does not bring true happiness,
This does not exist. Money releases and smoothes
The daily burdens and responsibilities;
It is a relief that diminishes the worries.
Being healthy is the ultimate state of happiness;
Being wealthy is the hollow state of happiness.
The concerns of securities show-up on the screen,
Attack the consciousness, and destroy the spleen.
The fear of death makes it impossible to enjoy life fully.
Money is a well made-up chameleon, a toxic honey.
Money vanishes deceitfully and consistently like hot air balloon.
Money is full of surprises; it is indeed a well disguised buffoon.
Relax, do not live beyond the means; be simple and natural.
Be relevant, normal, more spiritual and less emotional.

Sometimes in my head I feel so weak,scared,angry and empty,
Cause as the sunrise I only see my image in a circle being stagnant,crying helplessly from within but my outer face keeps wearing onto my lies and smiles deceitfully.
Sometimes, my body just calls for solace and longing for where I can be a part,
But my illusions keeps beating me down that I see no home with my loved ones.
My heart is bleeding,feeling unloved and uncalled for.
So many voices in my head but the echoes sounds more than I can hear the words clearer
I’m lost in my own journey where I’m trying to find myself piece by piece,bones by bones and tears by tears
Sometimes,my sanity is a definition of the Last Lost Dog that heeds to no warning
Sometimes,I just want a Home

This world is a dark place
Casting shadows over a bright face
Stars rain like celestial tears
Illuminating earthly fears
I've been running over my mind
Contemplating how you resigned
Spending my days drinking white claws
Just to cover up these black flaws
I have watched my idols lie
I have watched your villains try
A truthful mind is an honest kind
A lying mind is deceitfully inclined
This world is a bright place
Casting light over a dark face
You've been running over your mind
Contemplating how I resigned

How does an old man as old as me
Keep up with the changes in society
Men can be women, old men can be girls
Pronouns can be mx or they, or hers
Abortion is healthcare through faces proud
Is said by the bearer who echoes the crowd
The word “marriage” has changed from the ancients
Is nothing pure? Is nothing sacred?
Positive and negative no longer are compliments
Now we’re the same cos no need for supplements
Sport now reflects the querying of boundaries
Like robots obeying we are and non-binaried
All whites are oppressive without a choice
Everyone else sings in harmonic voice.
The floodgates opened in 2014
Homosexual marriage the new morphine
All institutions now deceitfully captured
So called progressives buoyantly enraptured
The decline of the west has left me behind
But eternal truth is on my side.

The earth is the Lord,s the fullness there
of the world and they that dwell there
in For he had founded it upon the seas
and established
it up on the floods
Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord?
or
Who shall stand in his holy place?
He that have clean hands and a pure heart
Who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity
Nor sworn deceitfully
He shall receive the blessing from the Lord and righteousness
from the God of his salvation
This is the generation of them that seek him that seek his face lift up your headO
ye gates and be ye lifted up you the everlasting doors and the King of glory shall come in Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty The Lord mighty in battle
Lift up your head Dear One
You are the
Everlasting doors and the King of glory shall come in who is this King
of glory? The Lord of hosts he is the King of glory.....Think about it.

Today, my homepage was deceitfully defiled
I had a visitation without any brotherly love
Her actions were similar to those of a child
Calling ME a troll, with a push and a shove
Without provocation or any hint of warning
She soiled upon my precious front stoop
Her vitriol was left for me here this morning
A pile of stinky doody is in my Poetry Soup
Her accusations were wrong, hurtfully made
Misinformed is what she said that I was
She's another minion who was easily swayed
I guess Forest was right, stupid is as stupid does

Deceitfully lurking
in the guise of nostalgic surge
s e n t i m e n t a l i t y
arrogantly lingers
along perceived sensible reminiscences...
Persisting to dominate
over carnal mind*
s e n t i m e n t a l i t y
poisons thoughts
in defiance to reality
yet, such is denied with hypocrisy's pride …
Afflicting soul
with gloom ---
s e n t i m e n t a l i t y
leaves soul lamenting
midst loathsome guilt
feasted upon by despair and hopelessness….
By the Saviour's grace,
now triumphantly praising the Lord
spirit in fervent communion with God
prevails over and above s e n t i m e n t a l i t y
for functional memory-reverberation
beyond the mockery of the foes: self, world and the devil.
*Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

THE STATE..
As the World so spherical
Full of pleasures and desires
Rounding in the minds of its creatures
Let he that has a tongue, thirst for the Master's wine
And not the drips of human fluid
For our rivers flows
With the merriment of itty-bitty transgression
Acquisitiveness and urge for wealth
Had poisoned the heart of humans
Letting them to wonder
As though the descendants of Judah they be
As they speak deceitfully with no fear for death
Verily verily, I vaticinate unto you this day
A time shall arrive where;
Mystery Will turn vanity
History Will become tragedy
As the Whole universe shall dance a beat of one drum.
The World shall be owned, ruled, controlled and be operated
By one governance, one king, one language and one MASTER.
Return from thy evil ways Oh! ye workers of iniquity...
.....Let he that heard here with ears of WISDOM.....

With a false embrace and smile
I brought you close to my heart
With false fetters I deceitfully bind
Your sweet emotions and mine
Oh! Lovely lady Lydia
Oblivious of the devil you ride
This serpent has no apples to give
This love is only an illusional Eden
I’m only after the breast of the milk
And after the honey between thighs
I seek the red berries of your lips
And the warmth of your soft flesh
I scribbled down many promises
To purchase pleasing pleasures from you
How skillful are this crafty hands
Moulding truthful tower with bricks of lies
How sweet flowers fade so soon
A love like mine will tell
It’s a pity you loved me so true
And l wasn’t in love with you

Afflicted by a hopeless grim future
Pierced with deceitfully poisoned doubt-dart
My soul seeks God for His gracious nurture
Beseeching Christ Who can calm qualms of heart
Thankful for His divine faith*'s healing suture.

Love divine, sovereign in directive
Smites lust, selfish midst carnal perspective…
Though both can be passionately active
True love along life-building objective
Unmasks lust that’s grievously "afflictive".
While love sublime works really effective
Reaching-out: restorative, curative…
Scheming lust is deceitfully protective
In the guise of care, vainly productive
For personal gain; oh, greedy motive.
Love can turn to lust when it’s destructive
Overwhelmed with own wants, so "exploitive"…
Flawed by human nature’s mark: defective
I beg for God’s great love* --- re-creative
To vanquish lust’s force, sweetly seductive.
*Romans 5:5…The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

I tried a dizain. This is the best I could do.
Ababbccdcdc
Alone in her room, she studied the mirror
Devastatingly aware, her face was plain
Rubbing her eyes, in hopes to see clearer
Only to find, all her efforts, in vain
She shifted focus, to keep herself sane
But the mirror taunted, til she returned
Deceitfully causing, her, grave concern
Relentless picking, poking and mocking
The jabs, lacerations, stings and burns
The expectations of girls, is shocking
And holds too much power, to be unlearned
