They come with polished shoes and clipped smiles,
a delegation of two parties, two chambers,
chasing headlines across the sea,
while the ice beneath our feet has no such illusions.
“Do not worry,” they say,
as if reassurance can purchase sovereignty,
as if Greenland were a chess piece
on the board of tweets and tariffs.
We nod politely, pour the coffee,
watch them measure fjords with their eyes,
thinking in votes and press releases,
while we measure time in centuries of ice.
Takeovers may glitter in their imaginations,
but here, the land remembers—
it remembers treaties,
it remembers patience,
and it laughs quietly under the aurora.
So go back, legislators,
to your chambers and your cameras,
we will remain:
not a prize, not a footnote,
but Greenland,
with glaciers that do not bend to ambition.
May we return to a congressional based observation of calendared appointment of statement in goals ordered by legislation avoiding obstruction of speech tonight?
May the state exist legally in budgeted measure of life's document as legislated from the Senate by end of next 48 hours in delegation of staff?
Property
Should an inmate of operations in correction be elected post haste to representative of delegation proceed as resignation is declared prior, and during trials of law
Military justice is also the same.
What say you on your auction
Assemblyman Irwin?
You will say post haste
As now you are a draft
Not being able bodied and male of remarkable age and criteria the auction
Continues
To degrade not grade an otherwise statement
of use to liberty for we have found a new war we have not the ability to create against
As we remain shackle we will not allow further questions.
We have been defeated

People have water
In the Sudan?
And oil and fire and tarnish
Miscible treasury
As in Thousand Oaks California
I for one cannot reach my Sudanese Archway
Without war mongering fear hate teaching itself
The touched parts of myself for one day
Not allowed the oasis of bathing
Without city council
Economic freedom votes
Tens of millions of Sudanese Americans
Have the identical rainfall amounts
I have a gripe of French soaps

Supersensory revelation
Explained to a witch’s delegation
They went to a higher elevation
As is their prerogative and their station
Enjoyed their annual celebration
Without the naysayer’s intoxication
Where is heaven?
On the planet of belief?
Where is hell?
In the pit of thinking?
-Don’t know.
Human is from heaven!
-A fallen creation
-Delegation of God
(Just have read)
As an alien? –Don’t know.
Still in the sleeping
Inebriated in the wandered dream
Will awake on the day of death
Will see the dawn- ample delay
The wakefulness!
And then what will do?
-Don’t know.

An obvious misrepresentation
Nearly cancelled the large celebration
Causing his second cousin a huge frustration
We could give you a quick demonstration
If you agree to call the hospital administration
To give him apt apologies from our family delegation
Central Park pigeons were concerned about Walter M. Leed.
He usually brought them seed, nuts, and other wonderful feed.
They conversed among themselves and formed a delegation.
Flew to his house, to see if it was a funeral or weird celebration.
It’s my anniversary, he said, do you want to stay for the party?
They served all kinds of snacks and desserts hale and hearty.
Those pigeons had such a fantastic time, they decided to move in.
His wife moved out the next week; so let the party begin!
Where is the baby faerie delegation? The burgermeisters asked.
No idea said the twinkledwarfs, keeping track was a daunting task.
I bet they got scared, the mongrelbibbers said in a mean way.
They never liked any kind of faeries, at the end or start of day.
The baby faerie delegation was gurgling and bubbling in delight.
They had found a lovely apple blossom branch that felt just right.
Mayor of the Fleasflackers saw them but did not make any sound.
He was afraid if he scared these infants, they would all land on the ground.
These arms are my olive branches
And these hands are my emissaries
They speak languages I cannot speak
And convey emotions I cannot always put into words
They have my full delegation to mediate on my behalf
To negotiate
To appreciate
To celebrate
Or to capitulate if required
They would like to think that they know you well
And they never ever tire of trying to know you better
Even as I try to sleep they are still obsessed with you
To assess you
To undress you
To caress you
To possess you is their desire
What can I say, they also know me well
It is only you who make us so inspired
They know who I love
And so they love you too, without reservation
Without hesitation
Without expectations
Often without invitation
Nor too much patience as you may have noticed!
They are naughty are they not?
These emissaries of mine
Without a doubt though, let me assure you
Your annoyance is not their intention
It is your pleasure that is their raison d’être
And for the next few nights, they’re really going to miss you!
If any one comes to me without hating his father and mother
Wife and children
Brothers and sisters
Even his own life, he cannot be my disciple
Whoever does not carry his own cross
and
come after me cannot be my disciple
Which of you wishing to construct a tower does not first sit down
and
calculate the cost to see if there is enough for its completion
Otherwise
After laying the foundation
and
Finding himself unable to finish the work the onlookers should laugh at him and say
This one began to build but did
Not have the resources to finish
What king marching into battle would not first sit down
Decide whether with ten thousand troops
he can successfully oppose another king advancing upon him with twenty thousand troops
But if not
While he is still far away
He will send a delegation to ask for peace terms
In the same way
Everyone of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple [LK 14:26-33]
Sometimes ya get the unction
To systematically function
In the footsteps where giants have been
Delegation, infiltration
Ruling a sovereign nation
Where time runs the gambit, again, and again
Deliberation, legislation, intonation
Singing the melody of the Shun
We will not bow, nor give allegiance
To the entity that causes us grievance
Stiff-necked, proud ridden thugs
Treading the roman way
Banners high, waving to the sky
We will squash your rule over us like a ladybug
Land, territory, nations, world
Not a clue that He has a girl
Rising from the south
With TRUTH in her mouth
.....silencing the SHUN

" I peer the shallow partition of the sea; the short distance of what may come before the days pardon, the sole delegation of loves affection pulls me into its province at twilights end convinced, this might be love. "
self
whistles there
pure
I’m hearing
wise
of hidden
I am He
the Supreme Being
to serve self
the delegation
outwardly
in crown creation
all parts of nature
the true savior each other
from birth to taste death
why these hide and seek odd games
if knowledge firms not
the illusion goal of dream
belief and faith gives me birth
imagination is true mother
where false I die to reborn
earth, water, air, fire all components
with an expiration date
recycling one shape to other shape
all through ethereal guides me gone one
for peaceful life unity I make chum
in the world only I’m human forgetting all
in the odd self I seek the another in fault

I
At the start of 2020, which some call 20-plenty
Our churches began a Daniel Fast for 30 days
To bless the Body of Christ with faith, charity, integrity -
And heal nations, especially the continent of Africa
II
It might have been Day 3, that a friend came to visit
Her husband died a few years ago. She knew of the fast
Upon getting up to leave, she half-hugged-half-kissed me
And only some FORCE made me turn my face away
III
Later I texted the nice, attractive (younger) lady, gently,
About the importance of the fast; that Jesus is my LOVE
And I now live to honor Him. Without Him, I'd hate more
Preach without practicing, pray pointless prayers galore
IV
I say this to thank the LORD, who loves all genders
Though some only allow lady preachers under delegation
The Holy Spirit wants to overflow, already in us and with us
He is grieved, quieted when we deny Jesus, for flesh & fornication
V
O siblings in the LORD Jesus, the Holy Trinity
I need prayers, strengthening daily, moment by moment
Dare I say the devil goes about like a bright distraction
Ones we respect may be used. Plead His blood, rebuke ... repent
