The throne was yours,
That right was all yours,
My loyalty is to you,
Miss Monarch.
Your singing comforted me,
Your streams brought me back,
You change my life ever since that day,
That day I was lonly and found your YouTube,
Just a sad, miserable, hollow, lonely, anime nerd,
Until your songs pushed me onto this stage,
This stage I now call my home and find joy,
I met all my friends now,
I found inspiration to keep going,
I got to change lives I couldn’t even count,
Over coming challenges I alone could never have,
I could now start seeing eye to eye with people,
I found a voice of my own.
And It was all because of you.
My oshi,
My idol,
The person I choose to follow,
And person who changed my life for so much better,
So forever will I stay not just a loyal follower,
But someone who is thankful,
From the bottom of my heart.
A Kitsuko Dragonstar original poem to thank Amalee.
Two sacrificial doves, of one shared love,
though it shall never, by works, be enough.
May we wager though, to do much good,
yet remain of humble heart, as one should.
And heed not to falter in worldly woe,
but be pure and innocent, like the doe.
May we encourage, comfort, be ever kind,
as our Father continues to refine.
Lest we not give in to melancholy,
but find life in righteousness, live holy.
So united by God, we proclaim Christ,
ne'er waivering, from He whom gives us life.
But grounded and anchored by his good Will,
lifting each other, to his heav'nly hill.
So that when our days are spent, whole lives through,
we can walk hand in hand, assured, in You.

(Poem a day)
From this man's perspective I find
the problem with society
I would say is mankind
the most dangerous animal on earth
also and for what it's worth
don't believe me take a look
too many followers of F'book
the absolute epicentre
of disinformation
of sanity an aberration
the CEO (almost) single-handedly
destroyed civilised society as we once knew it
and after his self-confessed wrongdoing
it's beyond my ken
why anyone would subscribe to it
a wise man he once said to me,
'Neither a follower nor a leader be'
yet if they take to wade or wallow in your wake
it's their choice to make
"Go along to get along" a wise man he once said
(altho' I don't concur)
but it occurred to me
neither follower nor leader be if you want to get ahead
and if the herd you stroll behind please do consider the view
(but not too closely)
yet what is worse yes you may curse
that which you step into
some believe the squeaky wheel it should be removed
(not receive the grease)
as all's smooth-run when replaced by a working one
or so it has been proved
to mindlessly open the mouth thoughtless of going kaput
(only to change feet)
it seems to me an opportunity to put a bullet in one's foot
the nail that sticks out it should be applauded
(not hammered down)
as one may fall for anything
and those who stand for something they should be rewarded
tho' possibly preaching to the choir some say it's idle chatter
(willy-nilly silly patter)
let's not forget to forgive or to live and let live
as ALL lives matter
Be a follower too far
I love God, I am a believer, but I live there
I am following my demon, he is from Hell
He gave me a new life, a new one, we live
…together far
Yes, this is a spiritual love, in the future
From the past, crossed dirty present, far
A new life calling me, from the new time
…together far
Follow us, follow, please, Master is waiting
You, me, them, us, new world is coming
Coming something different will be us
Just live and live, light desires a hellish life
…together far
Life
Loves you
Be together far
Oh
So far
I have added ten lovely poets to my fallowing list, to follow
A leader is, of course, solid not a blind follower
A leader is a true, real, genuine and patient analyzer
A leader usually leads the pack or the caucus
Follows common sense, the rules and laws of nature
Comprehends the consequences of having a failed procedure
The full process of achieving positive results at the terminus
After everything is laid, said and done, when nada is left?
A real leader has broad shoulders to withstand the storms
A brave man fears nothing, no man or woman on the left
Or on the right. A leader follows the principles, the norms
And the logic of things. Few men or women are natural leaders
Even if they were haphazardly elected or selected as such
Real leaders are occasionally as calm as hunting tigers
A genuine leader will fight for what is proper, not for the mulch
Which can be found in countless stores. A leader is strong
Bright, brave and humble. A leader admits when he is wrong
In our current unusual environment, men and women can lead
Effectively, since and hence the world has many mouths to feed.

Something inside you gotta go
Got to go
Get thee behind me Judas
You blasphemy kissed my Jesus
Betrayed Him
Somehow you know, you turned me in for gold and silver
PASSIONS TWISTED BETRAYED BY A SERVANT A FOLLOWER-
6/1/22
Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2022©
Though it never
Laughs like me
Sheds tears like me
Screams like me
Delight like me
Sad like me
Scared like me
But it's a sincere follower
Always beside me
Struggling together with me
Through all my endeavours
Regardless of success or failure
And so I never feel lonely in this world
Although it was never mentioned
Who created the shadow
At the very beginning
But from the very bottom of my heart
I feel really grateful to Him
I wanted to take the road
you had once travelled,
and cross the milestones
you had erected accomplished.
You climbed up the soaring stairs,
called the stepping stones of success,
but you designed on each a springboard
to ascend high and higher.
I could see your footprints
etched deep on the stones
by the skilled sculptor of life
you had made out of inimitable you.
I could find the carved out rocky pathway
winding up to the summit of your world,
I wanted to reach, but in vain,
for my steps didn’t match yours.
Your milestones turned into
unique landmarks on your life’s topography,
but for mine, I couldn’t find the right stones
to place on the road, walking the last mile.

When you only sing
what they
teach you..
just clothes,
what fashion
dictates ...
you are not living
your life...
But the life that
the world orders
you to live...!
Words are not enough to say
The message of thanks each day
To the Lord who shows the way.

If your faith in God is strong,
Then woes will never last long,
And you will never go wrong.

Don't believe that you are a skeptic
Channel microscopic
Enlarge beyond belief charging relic
Cuddling following through
Police system no longer in view
They cantata is not achromatic
The Opera has been silent
Your thoughts and mine defiant
There's no dance it's been canceled
Philosophical, what's true is false belief
Mystique
Follower
Defeated now a crawler
Laiden down sleep installer
Awake Humanity be a leader not a follower

Written by James Edward Lee Sr © 2021
I serve with my heart, all
Your mountain must not fall
We meet servant and master
To run forward the faster
Your goal clearly defined
Mine too more refined
Leader and follower united now
To testify of forgiveness, the how
Why this unlikely pair?
Cause of a God just and fair
I serve before kings
Who drink of your wisdom things
I was a vessel empty, then
Now filled with your ken
They drink it in very slowly
The cupbearer thought he was most lowly
