blue man had one mission but it was a big gun
Wanted to hydrate the planet, each and every one
Every plant, every person, every animal who existed.
We who heard the plan helped him. No one dare resisted.
We put water on everything and drank it as well
H2O from farm ponds, lakes, dams, reservoirs and every well
Blue man got famous and paid experts to hydrate the rest
I was exhausted from watering, so glad, I must confess
Pushing the envelope outside the box
if only here to accentuate
the many ways in which
emu may emulate
by delivering nutrients' benefits
and what's more
help repair with anti-aging hydrate
yet won't clog your pores
they herd the birds in a mob
not a troublesome job or task
with ladle fire pit pot and hob
'How is it collected?' I hear you ask
as allegedly good for the skin
anti-inflammatory emu oil
is scooped off the bubbling surface
when they're brought to the boil
This run ain't been fun for a while now
Energy for it all been ran out
Beggin myself to let go of this doubt
N start bein what I always been about
Knock myself off this damn cloud
Kuz its lookin like its about to storm some more
Ya know sht bad when chaoz got me bored
Being sober is more like a chore
The chemicals I keep in my brain cells
Got me convinced this reality I'm in is forreal hell
Its like my luck done hit the driest dry spell
Forgot how it feels to feel well
If I ever did know...
.....dazed out
Wondering if this whole sht
Is a fckd up sht show directed and written by
...who tha fck knows
Gettin kicks outta every low blow I catch to tha dome
Steady fckn with my mental state
Don't even try to act like im tryna exaggerate
but the plates overflowing with anger, pain & hate
when all I ordered was peace, love & fun
with some lust mixed in to hydrate
Keepin it super real
At this fcked up rate,
I dont even gotta contemplate
Why everyones walkin around all irate
While im just slowly strolling around
In this fcked up drug haze

Mirage suggested on the run
"Hydrate or be well-done, my son"
The ice cream rebelled,
The sunflowers yelled—
And the night couldn't outshine the sun!
To Being Waters Of God
Wars evaporate
the lives God gives us to live;
but peace hydrates them:-
It’s time for us to hydrate
and dissolve life’s worldwide wars:-
it's raining so fun and games are on pause
the outdoors hydrate and regenerate
meanwhile we await with bated breath
the return of sunshine in all its glory
we live up high in proximity to God
where we commune with Nature
always grateful to enjoy a slice of heaven
right outside our door ~

Temptation, The Seed Of Sin
Miracle Man
9/5/2024
At life’s every turn there’s enticement to face,
and when we overcome its only by God’s grace.
If we yield to temptation it becomes a sin,
And Satan’s always there giving us his spin.
To hydrate the seeds in our minds that we ban,
Satan always shows up with his watering can.
1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV
13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Re-hydrate, sipping coffee,
Old teachers, you see,
Inhale fragrance divine,
Caffeine breath, not wine,
Iced coffee, or latte?
Like my beans? I say,
Blending as one,
Sipping coffee, fun,
Addiction of our age,
Coffee fan, my page....
Blazing sun stuns my eyes, sunglasses offer no respite.
Clammy hands tremble, as the steering wheel begins vibrating.
Arsenic heat suffocates, wrapping its hands around my neck.
Parched lips beg to hydrate,
but 'Jeptha Creed' increases the intensity.
Thunder rumbles through my body,
as lightning strikes in 'desert storm' flashbacks -
all I see is red flags, red lights and red rage.
Feet seem cemented trying to find the break,
then stumble trying to regain control.
Dazed thoughts slowly crumble, searching for green to go.
Metal medley of machine guns, bloodshot,
go bang, bang, bang, as all around begins to fall down.
Grenades and strident screams reverberate like bombastic echoes,
over and over again, boom, boom, boom,
like a broken record with deep inherited scratches,
resembling resurfacing scars, left behind from mangled wounds.
Head is spinning like a bike wheel, spasms are speeding, unable to halt.
I scream at graphic memories of fallen comrades,
cursing, why I was the last man standing.
Purim Serum
Reverse the decree, costume quorum,
Dour outlooks, ingrates can wait,
To “V’Al HaNissim” respond “Amen!”
‘Til Shichur or REM inebriate,
Confusing “Baruch Mordechai & Arur Haman”,
Choose an opponent as a receiver of being considerate,
Send Mishloach Manos, listen quietly to Ahem!
Uplift with LeChaim! Drink Schnaps to hydrate,
To a Purim Seudah gather friends,
Imbibe wine! Purim Torah relate,
Hamantaschen savor as Oneg’s the end,
Be generous to a fault, an Oni sate,
Is Purim Serum bourbon?
Or Simcha shared? Requires Iyon, Ruminate!
This poem may be wordy surplus, excess, abundant,
Which means “A lot!” Not at all “Definate”
I push the gate- each year elate,
ending my wait to replay fate.
My roots await to drink, hydrate
and fully sate for full growth rate.
Stems push up straight to levitate
buds that dilate as leaves abate
and calibrate- blossoms create
to activate each full-bloomed trait.
I am your Spring- your loved upswing!
Each tree, a king as branches string
to a wellspring of verdant bling.
I share with zing, my season's fling.
Aft Winter's sting- while lovebirds wing,
our couples cling- soon worshipping
as church bells ring, good wishes sing.
All this I bring- my name is Spring.

The Rain
When the spring bursts into bloom again
I come along in showers of rain
Watch as I dance upon flowerbeds
Aiding plants to raise their pretty heads.
Listen to my rhythmic melody
Whether brisk or slow my tempo be
Taste me and drink me abundantly
In quenching cups of coffee or tea.
Luxuriate in me as you bathe
I ease away body aches and pains
Feel the softness of your silky skin
It's I that beautifies from within.
I hydrate trees so leaves grow and glow
And crops grown to feed, row after row
Creatures on land or those in the sea
Are entirely reliant on me.
There'd be no rainbows painted on sky
If no rain ever fell from on high
As I'm passing by in clouds of grey
Thank the Lord that I am on the way.

The kraken has been set loose,
Or is it a fire-breathing dragon?
Sheesh! This year's August
Shouldn't be this blazing hot!
Hydrate! Retreat to the bower
When the sun shows no mercy.

i hate
to fixate
but i resonate
need water must hydrate
here is the debate
did a creator create
or from fish did we mutate
so is their one who dictates
knows all fate
hears all our communicate
sees us being inappropriate
but does not decimate
i could not dedicate
just a deviate
unable to imitate
or reciprocate
I think life is delicate
desolate
desperate
all our needs to accumulate
if their is a god he seems to be unaffectionate
probably understandable look at the state
his beautiful planet on which we urinate and defecate
If their is a god i think he is too...
Fallow Ground
Written: by Miracle man
September 4, 2021
Lord, In fallow ground we grub and sow,
Concerned for friends who’ve gone astray.
While we may hydrate, you make seed grow,
please help these friends back into your way.
Now feeling deserted, they exist day by day,
avoiding old friendships that once were strong.
Life circumstances may have gotten in the way,
perhaps thinking there’s no place they belong.
But whatever the problem You will forgive,
when they seek Your face and in truth repent.
For it’s only in you Lord, that we begin to live,
and time spent in prayer is time well spent.
We must learn to clear our hearts of weeds,
* and among the thistles let us cease to sow.
Making our hearts ready for righteousness seeds,
then You will hydrate and make them grow.
Jeremiah 4:3
“For thus saith the LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns.”
