After the elect
Sailed through the milky river
Christ, the golden lamb
Shined through them in daylight blue
Like Omicron Velorum
Inspired by the Manichaean hymn "Hymn of the Bodies in Paradise"
God’s elect are chosen few,
Handpicked by the divine,
Their path is set straight and true,
By the Lord’s holy sign.
Bathed in love and righteousness,
They shine like stars above,
Their hearts aglow with godliness,
Guided by the Father’s love.
Their lives are filled with purpose,
Their steps are ordained by grace,
For they have been elected,
To serve in a sacred place.
Though they are just human,
They carry a divine light,
Their words and deeds are holy,
And they are ever in sight.
God’s elect are called to greatness,
Their hearts and minds are pure,
They serve with joy and gladness,
For they know their reward is sure.
So let us all be inspired,
By those whom God has called,
May we be counted among the elect,
And stand tall and strong and bold.
Elect
Is the north star
Serene and motionless
All stars revolving around them
Dancing
He never liked "Bob" - now a success
So Robert Croslin he is
Raise in Baltimore ("projects")
His mom (Aurelia) is grandma to my kids
His only son, a lawyer in DC
In his own right, now elected
Mayor of Hyattsville! (Praise God)
Once, my "good" eye-doctors place
Where I volunteered for its Literacy Council
Memories of Library, churches, New Year breakfasts!
A liveable community, a bit costly now
But memories continue to layer on
I
Whispers tell me, You won't save me
It's the old story, some are Elect, some not!
But this one TRUTH is MY story
You still reign Jesus, You my God

I don't know the singer, the title of song
When my soul feels forsaken AND
I can't see ahead, can't get along
THE Voice & Lyrics HEAL (John 10:10)
III
WHEN U only feel your heart is breaking
Don't believe naysayers - that U are forsaken
The simple gospel is: JESUS DIED FOR ALL
The only exception - not any sin - but rejecting Him
The Election result is a kill-joy
And has a man made a boy:
A result so blunt I’m trying ketamine;
That should my recovery determine
My BP should’ve been key issue
And its treatment a Toilet Tissue …
A woman has captured my capital
And what’s next if not Hospital?
The whole stuff taken to any doorstep
And claiming to have watched my every step …
My eyes have been fed humbling scores,
Another shutting of my political doors
An angering spread sheet on my lap
Underscoring my defeat by a gap.
And I swear animals what these portend,
Birds to laugh if I do them contend …
Right now A chairwoman Elect!
And they wouldn’t me select.
Already, I can see her sky-scraping head gear
And celebratory fanfare in high gear
Artificial eye-lashes one can glimpse from hundred meters
And music-powering generator with hundred litres …
And guess I’m emigrating to Dakar
Or to far-off fourth Africa
Or perhaps nearer Niamey …
No eye-lashes wearer will chair me.
Kamala Harris VP Elect
November 3, 2020 the nation was blessed
Sister rising up from the depths of stress
Congratulations my sister on being the first
Black America's standard bearer has quenched our thirst
America witnessed history made before her eyes
The election results of a female silenced our cries
Vice President -elect Kamala Harris broke the glass ceiling
The offense of winning overshadows accusations of stealing
This country has thrown obstacle after obstacle in front of us
We went from riding the back of the bus, to driving the bus
Going from the outside looking in, to getting a prime seat at the table
Press on my sister, because we have confidence that you're able
Sister continue the journey of positive success
Stay focused and balanced and don't sweat the rest
Leadership is fair and balanced with the choice to select
Congratulations again sister Kamala Harris VP Elect
In dedication to the nation's first African American Female VP
In memory to my mother Elizabeth Neal on her birthday

Pres Elect Joe Biden

Pres elect Joe Biden
Is finally out of hidin'
Both the vote and college, he has won
Some think that all not legal
But he will become the eagle
Twenty January twenty-one
Last night, in his victory speech
He used the tele-prompt to preach
To give us all a hint of where he'll go
To me, most of his words were right
All citizens are in his fight
He'll take away the Red and Blue we know
Would love to take him at his word
But think the Red will get the bird
If the Blue side, gets the House and Senate
We've been told, all's on the table
Any time the Blue is able
To change the USA and all that's in it
We all should keep an open mind
Give him a chance until we find,
That he will only work to suit the Blue
If the colors should diminish
And blend to purple at the finish
That's something we should pray that he will do
You elected him again. Are you fecking mad? You remember how he brought in benefit sanctions that led to many suicides? A bedroom tax that broke so many single people. Cutting our armed forces past the bone.
He only looks after himself and his own interests. And now you did the unthinkable. You all voted Cameron the cant back into power for five more long years. What will be left in the end?
Nothing but an empty country, broken promises and a fat **** politician sat on his own throne. You all failed this time. And you're fecked.

Elect To Select and Inspect
Out of each item we should select,
Item which we do want to inspect;
Each article;
Then particle;
Make sure they are always correct.

First of all in regard to this verse
God here is speaking to His elect
for He names them lovingly His beloved
such love so pure believers willingly detect
God brings many a promise to His own
He's not at all slow for them to fulfil
despite how some think wait too long
for all His acts are spot on in His will
The Lord is full of divine patience
waiting and seeking for His very own
by His holy spirit in His effectual draw
pointing to Calvary their sin He did atone
To fulfil the demands of the saviour
God grants His own the gift of repentance
then they come in a spirit of humility
bowing in homage at His dependence
This election is not for all of the world
again God's showing this for those He chose
from before the world began marking them out
for Christ died only for them this God knows
("The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.") 2 Peter 3: 9 (KJV)
When Trump Will Elect
As President Trump they would elect;
On country did have a dynamic effect;
Close the border;
Create disorder;
With all his nonsense us he did infect.
Jim Horn
Election…
…again
The masses are called to the public square
Pilots post candidates
Pundits peal their parlance
The public primarily pares them to Barabbas and Truth.
Barabbas wins again,
Promises to slash and burn, cut everyone to size
Make things great again!
Truth whiplashed, double crossed and crossed off hangs in the breeze of Golgotha,
Sighing seven sorrowful seeds of salvation.
Should they ever sprout again,
Hope’s everlasting grandeur awaits…
…again
The elect.
