His Thoughts are My Thoughts
No button can unwind the failures I have faced. Nobody can take the place of my precious Lord. He has been both my questions and my answers; He has been the strength of my recovery. I would recommend Him to my closest friends; I'd vouch for His counsel even to my enemies. Success is not determined in the immediate; time will...

DEFEAT ON CRETE
DEFEAT ON CRETE A folktale from which we have been recreated Remember that fight I’m quite sure you hated For this rematch, many centuries I have waited So keen and strong, now I’ve been resuscitated But this time I’ll win, as many anticipated Such an encounter set Greek history ablaze But this second time extends into future days I may even emerge blinking,...

The Preemptive No
Before you ask The answer is no I will never surrender courage For a place of defeat and storage I will not abandon faith For a worthless attachment to an uncertain estate I refuse to relinquish love For a well-fitted but counterfeit glove I cannot renounce my goal For a destination that ambushes my true role I will not forsake confidence For a river that runs...

the enjoyment of defeat
by midday the capital is lost in deferring of appointment, illegal assembly and illegal protest of speech, past speech of the governance and the executive, insurmountable halls of congress have no cause for speech in between coordinated attack points. the cowardice grows in the hands of the general's might. deprived of voice the eldest child is...

Defeat As Contrary In Many Ways
Defeat in economy is a misuse in good governance Defeat in beauty is lack in empathy and self-initiatives Defeat in numbers of men who will depend the country Defeat in humanity is selfishness Defeat in transparency is lack in service Defeat in trust triggered betrayal Defeat in love is enemy's war influence Defeat in money is lack opportunity Defeat in education is innocence...

Premium Member Kansas City Defeat
The Chiefs went to New Orleans to do a war dance. However, they got burned by the seat of their pants. It seems Custer at Little Big Horn had a better chance. The team was hoping to win their third Super Bowl in a row. Unfortunately, the fruitless effort was a no-go. Come Monday morning, plenty of Kansas City fans...

The Gospel of the Defeat
On the wooden table of the world, God forgot His book, A Gospel with torn pages, Its corners eaten by dried tears. He opened it once, But the letters evaporated Like the smoke of a candle that does not burn for anyone. Job is just a tired man now. He sits at the edge of the field and counts stones. "One for the...

The winner of the women’s match,* An absolute surprise, Delighted all the fans who know How hard she always tries. In forty-nine attempts, she never Had a Grand Slam win And posing with her trophy, She could not contain her grin. The runner-up, whom everyone, (Which did include herself) Expected to go home and add That trophy to her shelf, Displayed, for all to see, A rather nasty...

Premium Member Victory and Defeat
Victory and defeat have the same end - they pass away. Bitterness dissolves as does the sweet taste salivated in a triumphant win. Joy shares the same mystery with suffering when confronted by a why. Civilizations come and go - kings, queens and politicians become powder in the crevices of time. Be kind - all is a brief dream playing out in the...

Conquering Defeat
When the going gets tough, When every moment seems rough, Give me the strength to go on, Let a new day begin with breaking dawn. When odds against me are stacked high, When my wings of confidence refuse to swap and fly, Give me the courage to look beyond, Let the horizon hold me upright in its bond. When my efforts look like...

SOOTHED BY DEFEAT
My opinion is an option Their preferences a mandate Our midpoint an ambiguity The victory tastes bitter Only the failure feels better I then call it an intriguing skin They name it an awkward scene The softer tissues on touch An awful sensation in view Hearing the rooster roaring We all deserve no contempt By integral effort attainable For every purpose one intends On the...
