untoward circumstance
sorry victim of killer
wrong alley wrong night
serial killer
frankly anyone will do
right alley right night
digging dog makes trench
big brother sits regally
two diverse puppies
delicious delectable divinely dipped donuts
drizzled during denny’s delightful dinner
denny’s dieting daughter Denise deliberately discourages diners
devouring dipped donuts deemed disgusting
digging in delightfully is Denny’s demure daughter Debbie.
A Shepherd's Day by Suzanne Alexander (SA)
Wee, from East then West!
Seen one side then Next.
Feel a beautiful day, start is laid
Sjoe, from sting of Ray.This said,
Baa, from Ewe - distinct face!
Moor from one side at annex she graze,
Aye mi smeel yummy scone buttered.
Lighe nam lips whilst I muttered.
Shoo, splish-splash rain came unforseen
raining stairs of rods clearly seen
soil exposed with heathered bole
the red pigment irks the soul.
Ewe, come, sinn cùm sàbhailte!
to the huge bole hole, wee time, to shed.
Close jist ower the way so near,
baa, from rascal Mule , mi clu from ear.
C' mon ye little mule so blue
Safe its here by bole used as hue.
The noo! Mule. He came then settled.
Jack Snipe seen in marsh nestled.
Far in the distance a thunderclap
Meat today with pap.
With money earned just a little.
and hands brittle.
As the rain drops snipes my face,
Content I am to run , this race
Yet a sadness for unfair wage
But joyful not being in a cage.
Day, from graft then came night
Hame my manor is in sight.
Safe the ewe and mule I put,
aye, that'll dae. Day in tear and joy shut.
We have got a wonderful world
full of amazing creatures all around
so diverse and beautiful truly great
very colourful and bright to abound
It is indeed so amazing really amazing
this earth is so vast and so very full
what a picture we have to behold
but man is guilty of being so cruel
In Africa especially so many under threat
many of the Big Cats face danger
lack of food and water so very scarce
this thought makes one so full of anger
Another problem exists among poachers
killing animals causing danger of extinction
O for a turning of goodness for all creatures
equally, fairness be given greater distinction
The dangers of climate chaos affect all
with the Arctic getting warmer cools the ice
pray for God to intervene to bring rescue
for if not its left to a throw of the dice!
(this is about the love of the earth, but also showing its flaws)
Darkness will approach but
The Conquering King will cast it aside!
God is the deliverer and the protector of His people
The Conquering King is a warrior
There is an admirable combination
Of diverse beauty in Jesus Christ
Jesus is called a Lion
It is because He is the Greatest of all
With majesty and kingly authority
As the lion rules the forest, so Jesus rules over all!
Jesus is bold and powerful
He is the Conquering King!
His supremacy is unsurpassed
The Lion of Judah
Saves us from the tyranny of our sins and
Heals OUR diseases for His Glory—
He TAKES CARE of HIS CITIZENS
The Lion of Judah fulfils his Covenant Promise
By opening doors that could never ne open
The citizen of God’s Government executes His Divine Purpose!

We believe in diverse in our universe
Our government’s a meritocracy in reverse
Red folks, brown folks, yellow and green
Indigenous Indians, Asians, Orientals, ‘Mar-sheens’
So despite constant breakdowns in communication
Multicolor anger and fury benefits all nations…
We also support workplace equity
All employee reviews must be ‘A’ or ‘B’
And of course there’s inclusion, finally
For violent ex-felons we bend the knee
All told, with our universe we’ve given birth
~ to a bigger mess than Planet Earth
The righteous make good martyrs
To hang upon the cross
The wicked use their hatred
To prey on others loss
The meek look up to Heaven
And pray upon their knees
The wealthy use their power
To do just what they please
The gullible asks no questions
And believe everything that's said
Intellectuals see their folly
And sadly shake their head
Too many shout in anger
But never hear the call
I just sit in silence
And wonder about you all
I couldn’t close my eyes,
As I wandered and searched.
I’ve found so much I’ve never been so hurt.
You slowly turn into a stranger again, what’s this? As I emerge-
Into tears, I am so cursed.
How could this be so submerged?
In your memory, what else do I have to search?
I’ve asked what’s your deepest purges.
How can I convert this?
Maybe I should find churches,
And try to discourage it.
And worst is,
It’s your shirt I’ve submerged in.
But these urges and curses
Will not disturb this.
For I have my worth in him.
So I may believe this for his heart I carve in.
I begin to trust his so subtle merges,
Because I am on the verge of my nerve,
This should not have occurred.
Because I am just a girl who’s seen too much to observe.
My heart burns, is this what I deserve?
I am so diverse, when will I learn?
That a girl like me will never be preferred.
- Leona Badurova
Beautiful beholding's of God
Behold the beauty of us all
We are in all, in awe by the beauty of us all
That He's created we are whole
Diverse and not separate

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2023©
Dedicated and written to & for Melissa Leconte
Across the realms of existence now known
dwell some dimensions of which we're not part.
Though sharing our space, diverse life is shown-
some worlds within worlds, alone from the start-
know not of us- yet are able and smart.
Earth's anthills survive in worlds quite diverse;
no knowledge that giants exist in their midst.
In their unique space, they govern and nurse.
Too, bees in their hives cannot be dismissed;
they thrive in their world, and ours is not missed.
And our vast earthly oceans overwhelm
with life that inhabits dark, liquid space-
without knowing that above there's a realm,
most never will see, that's named human race-
we masters of earth- that rule and embrace.
Across the realms of existence NOT known
dwell huge dimensions of which we're not part.
Though sharing our space- diverse realms are shown;
some worlds among worlds- ahead from the start?
We know not of them- more able and smart?
Reflecting on the term, 'diverse'
abundant in our universe
Endless species, sizes, shapes and forms
Truly, 'diversity' has no 'norm'
A vision clear, Americans lack
who color 'diversity' ~ only black
WHO am I if not you and all of yours in every way, while still unique to my own?
WHAT is the difference? How irrelevant when we are so much the same
WHERE is defined by borders of control, despite the answer being equal for us all
WHEN shall we accept each other and ourselves instead of facilitating pain?
WHY can't we embrace the differences and unite to show the way
We are the most intelligent specie on this fraction of a dot within our universe,
yet our behaviour continues to remain so dis functionally diverse.
Give me beauty she said.
My intelligence smirked, thinking her silly.
Give me pretty hair, she hollered.
My ancestral soul gave a growl and a bark.
Give me a man, she added.
I was on the ground now, feet in the air, kicking wildly.
Laughing my guts out, knowing I needed one of those
Like a bird needs an enema.
Give me a pretty face she yelled.
My hazel eyes rolled.
Give me dendrites I thought; and lots of them.
Give me intelligence and imagination and more of me.
