Convinced I am
I'll never be me again
The one who created the pain
The one who had so much to gain
But lost out in the end
To a race against time
A figment of me
Just a pigment of hope
Lie down at night
No sleep to make up
I wander about
Through today's events
I worry about tomorrows as well
There is no real balance
When I am always off center
My mind never shuts down
I Whisper I can't do this anymore
Can't continue to live in a past unforgiven
I am stuck here in the void
Can't trust myself to let my guard down
Feel only alone is how I will live out this life
Scroll through the pictures on facebook dating
All so many choices but none ever get back
Am I just a lost cause
Confined to all I fear
It's a stain that won't wash out
Am I really that unlovable
Is the cover just to torn to turn the page
So much unsuriness so little dedication
To branch out away from past thoughts
It's alarming and endangering
Have I become that lost soul
Only time knows
All the secrets I hide.
On this faithful day
Sudden gunshots everywhere
People running scattered
It's a dispute in my city
Gunshots everyday
So many innocent lives were taken unlawfully
People dies everyday just like mayflies.
Houses were burnt down
Leaving many homeless
Endangering so many lives
Agony everywhere
But the killing continues, no seizing of fire
Participants giving scores within themselves
Scores of numbers of the people they've killed.
Circle keeps repeating
Everyone avenging, death of their lost ones
It was a blood bath, until there was a victor
Prominent men in the city
Involved the government and more
Just like karma always visits, educating and repaying
Peace at last, amidst grief and vengeance
Welcome to the coolest city in the world.
June 5 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Job 19-21
Key Verse – Job 19:26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God.
PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO ASSURES US
THAT WE CAN SEE HIM
Praise be to God for assuring us that we can see Him by His:
Mercy that magnifies Him amidst our miseries
Miracles along His moves so measureless
Might of managing our moments
Message toward meaningful memories
Magnificence above mystical and magical myths
Job 20:29 Praise be to the Lord for appointing us, His people, His heritage:
Nourishing our souls eternally
Nurturing our spirituality earnestly
Negating our sinfulness, endangering
Not negotiating our service of selfish efforts
Nestling our salvation in His sustenance, everlasting
Needing His sanctification for stewardship empowerment
Job 21:22 Praise be to the Saviour for
teaching us His knowledge that:
Offers answers with His truth
Opts for His approval through trust
Opens to us His affirmation during trials
Optimizes His affirmation toward triumph
Organizes our activities against time-testing temptations. Amen!

Anchored in the Aura of your loyalty, the
Breathtaking mood you enhance in me, for I
Cannot fathom the length of your love
Definitely not enveloped in envy but care
Every time that phone rings you race to it
Fervently like a worship, in offerings
Garnished with sacrifices and praises
Hammered by my hypnotic smile you hug
In, triggered by my endangering tear you
Jug ruthlessly into its source, instilling
Kindness and knowledge endlessly
Like a rugged professor, family is not
Mostly drawn out of blood, you have stood
Needlessly in my heart, because the bond
Overcomes every thorn that pierces our soul
Preciously evacuating every dead ash laying
Quietly in my heart, you have genuinely and
Relentlessly proven you are worth a million
Size too enormous to spill, your support
Tenaciously clench my wrist like a pillar of
Unraveling mysteries. You share vital
Visions and make us run with it like thieves.
Wondering amid primrose you glisten like
Xanthopetals, serenading your bloom
Yet unmarred flawlessly in Perihelion, let your
Zestful being be celebrated for being a true friend.
Transcend Fear and Anxiety
FEAR and ANXIETY
enter mind endangering efficiency
acting awfully against analytic approach
Try to transcend with tact and competence.
Oblivious solution lies in dependence on self-confidence.
Out of fear, don’t lose your gear.
Value your skill driving out anxiety.
Chase fear challenging nervousness causing anxiety
More you are anxious, more you will miss.
Anxiety all around far or near, known or unknown.
Fear may attack severe or mild, off and on.
Overpower anxiety through your smartness.
Break claws of paws of awe : You are awesome fearless.
We have toiled,
we have laboured.
we have launched into the deep,
we wearied ourselves in tempest.
endangering our lives for filths,
Our summer too short for relief,
and the winter too long with pains,
we bore the shame, the jeers and mockery.
we met with stiff opposition,
foes within and more without,
the deadliest daggers from home front,
wagging fiercest warfare,
all the while purloining,
ridiculed and scorned,
our soul through many trials faints,
Yet advancing,
Unyielding,
Unrelenting,
still we look up.
There were blizzard warnings.
We scoffed at them. We were young,
and our children had to see their grandparents for Christmas.
No matter what, we were going to get there from Chicago.
Not concerned about the snow, we did not stop even after they closed the interstate.
We had already been on the road for nine hours and eleven minutes.
This drive that usually took us a little over six hours.
We had four children in the car, not only our three, but a friend of our daughter’s.
I am sure her parents were thrilled to hear the blizzard pile up reports on the news.
This is before cell phones. We had to phone them after we arrived a few hours later.
The children were twelve, eleven, eleven and seven at the time,
and luckily had no idea
how close to death we all came on that horrible December twenty-third.
This was thirty-eight years ago, and I have never forgotten it.
When I hear blizzard warning now, I do not scoff.
It is difficult to drive with muscle tenseness for hours and hours.
Feeling you are endangering your children’s lives.
Never again, never.
FEAR TO OVERCOME
Fundamentally fear formed from forceful stress
Enters mind endangering efficiency.
Acts awfully against analytic approach
Rolls, rustles, ripples in reproach.
Try to transcend with tact and competence.
Oblivious solution lies in dependence on self-confidence.
Out of fear, don’t lose your gear.
Value your skill in every venture driving out fear.
Endeavor on dauntless effort.
Remove also, phobia sprung from stupid reflex.
Chase fear challenging nervousness.
Overcoming fear welcome struggle.
More you are afraid more you will miss.
Entry of bravery on exit of fear factor.

Emotional Con Men
A prove is all we need and please,
Do not preach that which you cannot be, if you cannot be that which you forever teach
Do not tell me how powerful I am if my spirit your words can never lift.
How dare you tell me about miracles while your world is in shambles.
You come with your uniform, the ties and your lies buried beneath the suits
The misconception of the fools is what you feed upon,
Punchlines and word plays displayed on your coated tongues.
How dare you! How dare you Disregard the facts,
Endangering the people yet providing no path.
The end is here, can you hear the rumbling as the horsemen rides?
Actions are needed more than your pre composed rhymes
tell people what to do not how to fall on their knees and cry
keeping them ever coming back instead of finding a solid ground to stand.
The tide has changed and only the practical shall sail.

DESOLATION IN DESPONDENCE
Me jovial convivial social being
always cherishing cheery dynamism in every step,
now global crisis putting in compulsive isolation.
House confinement subject to social distancing running mandatory.
Standstill static stagnant situation creating suffocation.
But what to do, no alternative.
I must cope up to fight against invader virulent virus Corona
spreading silhouette of sudden scare in sky of global life,
endangering mass of populace.
Home imprisonment tough,
but tougher to manage household cores
for Indian Senior citizens dependent on domestic help.
Wishful expectation to start Count Down
to end Lock Down at earliest
to get relief on revival of normal life.

'STRAND POETRY PICK 1' Contest by Brian Strand
Man is evicting us from our home the cry of the wilderness
endangering the very life cycle of nature itself
Look us in the eyes and clearly see the heart's you starve
money before profit is all you care about in this plantation
Human development has become this self serving mass suicide
where green house gasses is ripping down these forests
and certain boundaries are crossed on more ways than one
We need to rescue God's animals from doom
legal protections need to be put in place
as this is worse than the flood destroying what Noah saved
Those self serving in charge are destructive in every shape and form to be explained
we will need to urgently raise awareness about their plight.
hope has become a challenged word so to speak shepherded on this subject
The smart thing to do is save our planet
I thought I loved you
Love? This wasn't love
Only a bunch of emotions misconstrued
Vainly groomed
Endangering my heart and mind too
You probably thought you loved me too
Only to find out it wasn't true
Until I'm sure I'm stable and true, I'll no longer think I love you too
A seed was planted
It took roots
A tree grew out of it
Which
Thousands of seeds produced
That
Fell on the ground
Soon
An impenetrable forest appeared.
That is
God's way of doing things
-
The Word of the Lord was transmitted
Millions of ears heard the message
Alas,
Only a few hearts allowed it to take root in them
And
Even fewer were willing to spread the Word
Thus
Endangering it to disappear into oblivion.
That is Man's way!
