IN AND OF TRUE DESTINY
Galvanized in faith,
Let us navigate onward:
Destiny waiting:-
True justice, let’s keep seeking:
Its arrival, God insured:-
Injustice trumped out,
We shall reflect equity:
True justice shining:-
Resowing democracy,
Greatness shall be rereaped:-
IN AND OF THE EQUITY OF DIVINE WISDOM AND GUIDANCE
Wisdom nourishing,
Understanding hydrating,
Be bound in service:
Engaged in labors of love,
With services to others:-
Energized in faith,
With belief in God and self,
Be an enlightener:
Reflecting inspiration,
And navigating guidance:-
In every way,
Be an instrument of peace,
Cultivating equity:-
Canvassing God’s will,
Pathway justice’s liberty:-
Squaring off with hope,
Cube peace, love, and unity:
Onement, the product:-
Resurrecting awareness,
Seek righteousness ascension:-
In divine wisdom
Always protract God’s oneness,
And divine evidence:
When He created this world,
Life dawned with equality:-
JUSTICE RECLAIMED
Pontification
of injustice uprooted:
Justice echoing:-
Come, let us master the needed strength
And determination, required to do that
Which is needed to be done here
For none of us can be excused
And are all God-charged with
Seeing that there will be
True evolving equity
Developing in this
Blessed land
God has
Given
You
And
Me
To build a nation
Of true equanimity
And living democracy:-
IN CAPABILITY GARDENS
There’s ability,
And there’s disability;
Let’s garden both:
Ability’s seeds fruiting
Disability’s healing:-
Today I’m blessed with the task of clearing up some confusion…
when it comes to DEI- diversity, equity and inclusion…
Personally I’m am mortified…shocked…dismayed…appalled…
why when it comes to DEI…people are confused at all
Diversity, equity and inclusion will always make our country…our world strong…
anyone who agrees will always be right…
and the rest will always be wrong.
Eyes draped in black,
The Scale of Justice, stark and exact,
Struggles with truth and fairness,
In a land where might eclipses righteousness.
Justice delayed, where should we start?
An alchemist’s touch to mend every part.
Government's hollow promises,
Culprits evade without consequences.
Corruption ingrained in every root,
A Herculean task to uproot,
Marks the end of democracy,
And the rise of nation's hypocrisy.
Let's have faith for posterity,
For all our humanity,
Plant prayers, our thoughts,
Turn into pastoral support,
Alms for welfare globally,
Share riches for equity,
Small, practical steps no less,
Our faith and prayers can bless,
Advance our future, I say,
Jesus' faith will show the way.....
In shadows cast by prejudice, a knock resounds,
At the door of your heart, where peace abounds.
Brother, let not questions cloud the air,
For I am like you, in this world we share.
Not defined by hues, nor land's embrace,
I stand before you, a human race.
The cold winds blow, outside your gate,
Open, brother, don't discriminate.
No black, no yellow, red, nor white,
In unity, we find our common light.
Measure not my features, nor my creed,
Open wide, let compassion lead.
Why seek the differences that tear us apart?
Let understanding reign, a work of art.
I am just a man, a reflection of you,
In the tapestry of life, woven through.
Not African, American, Asian, or Australian born,
In every heart, the same pulse is worn.
In this cosmic dance, let hatred cease,
Open your door to the symphony of peace.
I am not defined by the skin I wear,
Nor the God I worship in silent prayer.
Brother, in the cold, open wide,
Let love and acceptance be our guide.
For I am the man of yesterday, today, and tomorrow,
A celestial being, in joy and sorrow.
In your heart, let the revolution start,
Open, brother, and uplift the human heart.
Neil Sedaka sang, 'Breaking Up is Hard to Do'
Then again, Getting Together (in the first place) is too
With all that romantic equity invested
You'd think folks wouldn't dare test it
Oh , how I desire universal, racial equality.
Not just forced “liberal” politically imposed. morality.
It must spring from each soul, free as a spring flower.!
Not forced to swallowed, as a lump of hard coal.
Color does not, in anyway make one superior.
Conversely., color does not make any human being, inordinately inferior..
Your abilities and intelligence. should be the only qualifications, for a job.
Not skin .color, of which the many souls, highly qualified, are indeed, robbed,
Even for a poet, such a qualification is a horrid, morbid sin.!
It takes morality, and accepting a human, for the skin they
were born in!

You, he and I; we are not alike
Human we’re akin to our rights
Fingers are not equal by nature
For using purpose these are fair
Many minds many choices it’s fact
On earth colorful varieties are tact
Variety is beautiful, not discrimination
We enjoy all as our mind gratification
Glove is garment can cover hand bare
It has separate sheathes for each finger
But mitten is a type of glove in two trims
One for thumb and one for rest four limbs
Gloves offer better dexterity than mittens
Oh, equality and equity are not same trend

I
We teach others to pray
We show kids how to play
With kindness, another way
Even when they walk away
In immaturity: "Love him? No way!"
II
We meditate on peace, we preach it
The world is not ready, do we ditch it?
America reviews texts, history, politics
To make peace in the Middle East
There's enough room here to dream these
Aurobindo's dream is 73 years at least
So prithee, How are we ready for love - &
"Internationalism must come from above"?
The buzzard now puzzles the carcass on the road
Holding the Divine Discernment for life in beak
Is that a Christian or black brother in distress
It sure looks tasty on the barren desert menu
Equality and equity are good for the digestion
Spiced with barbarian flies over the deceased
What circles up above is true love
Vulture and Buzzard are just words
Added to your lexicon for the feast
Never speak with your mouth full
It is impolite in the equity of eating
Please pass another equal amendment
It appears to be another mandate out of reach
Justice calls us
--to be fair in our dealings,
--to heal,
--to do no harm,
Justice demands we live
--by the Golden Rule
--treating others as we would be treated,
Justice says we go
--beyond the law to right a wrong.
Justice is our incentive
--to see all people treated the same.
