Action And Reaction

Isaac Newton is said to have stated,
'For every action,
or force in nature,
there is an equal and opposite reaction.'
And the proof in his pudding is...
If I exert myself
in search of who knows what I want to be,
it also brings to bear
an equal and opposite influence on me.
As, by doing so,
my own headwind I create,
which inhibits my progress,
and the harder I push, or fixate,
the more resistance I set up,
so to speak,
and the farther away I am
from finding whatever it is I seek.
Indubitably, it's a rule of thumb,
the more forward I go,
all the further behind I become,
but is it better to do nothing at all,
than beat my head against
an invisible brick wall?

The Peace of Isaac

"Isaac’s servants dug in the valley and discovered a well of fresh water there. But the herders of Gerar quarreled with those of Isaac and said, “The water is ours!”   Genesis 26:19-20
Do you hear argument’s doorbell?
Jealousy causes a groundswell
like a sink hole.
Antagonists are raising hell
over an underground bombshell
greed's sordid goal.
Contentious opinions foretell
what sounds like a solemn death knell.

Isaac would bid anger farewell;
he'd forgo harm, refuse to yell,
showing control.
He'd breathe deeply, hot air expel
before maddening tempers swell.
Like him, extol
peacetime; just dig another well; 
be forgiving.  Ring freedom's bell.

Sir Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac Newton
You seem so un-done.
Why don't you try to blend 
When everything is lend.

INERTIA and ISAAC NEWTON

So restless was Isaac Newton
with physics laws had so much fun
Defining the inertia of truth
shows he was quite a sleuth

A Difficult Decision for Isaac to Make

    Esau, a fierce hunter; Jacob a Torah scholar
       Isaac had to make a difficult decision

    To blend Abraham’s kindness with 
       Jacob the scholar or with Esau’s strength… 
           
     Elderly Isaac's tears blinded him at length 
       For he’d made an egregious mistake

     Choosing brute force over scholarship
        His frail body began to shake… *

Sir Isaac Newton

Sir Isaac once sat in the shade,
When an apple fell, so he swayed,
He thought, "What a sight,
This force must be right,"
And thus gravity’s laws were portrayed.

Isaac Newton

There was once a great scientist named Newton,
apple fell on the head of famed Briton.
       Lest the spark of gravity
       escapes from brain’s cavity,
all the time he put his thinking hat on.

Hope

Ultimately, it's a matter of seasons,
waiting for dawn. 
Through the skylight, 
tiny as it is, 
my hope resides.
It's a glimpse of the hope I eagerly yearn to meet from my room.

I've longed to find belonging, 
pondered and wondered, 
if I was meant to have no solace. 
The doors are shut, 
and I'm enclosed in the cubicle.
Yet, as the skylight on the roof keeps shining, 
so does my hope for tomorrow.

Nura

I decided to keep watch on you from walls,
I moved my shoes away to give you a breath,
Nevertheless, have I ever moved miles away,
I kept a moderate distance to watch every
 step of you,
Look all of the tears I have never wept, 
When the distance stretched with loose 
Communications.
I lost the ears of the taste of your tongue.

I thought I was shading you,
Rather, I was, drilling the pain in me,
Memories are stronger than my work,
Heavier than my weight,
Darker than my nights,
But sweeter than my sleep.
Nura my girl, I let you in with all I can, 
And I will walk miles to see your similes,

God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob

Jehovah our God ! 
Creator of the people of  colours. 
We pray to You on the mountains
We pray to You in the valleys 
We pray to You on the seas 
You are our Father. 

The God who appointed Messenger 
prophet John Mwambi Mulaya 
The God who chose Messenger
 prophet Simon Kimbangu 
The God who met with our ancestor 
 Messenger prophet  Moses 
The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob 
You are the living God, 
Transform this World,
Oh!Dear Lord

The God of holy prophets and apostles
You always kind to us 
Your name be glorified 
On earth and in heavens
Amen.

A Letter To Sir Isaac Newton

Living without a father wasn’t a good fate
This in the future could bring about immense hate
But this did not stop your talent and purpose
Although you were a premature baby
This would not stop your mental development 
Your curiosity became a spark to go beyond the norm

Your best friend was the truth
You needed to know the reality of something
Based on scientific truth
In calamity, you found the unity of purpose
In pain, you found the truth
In the pandemic, you found the light of lights
You showed us that during darkness light can be found!

You were a spiritual man
You were a man of science but also a man of faith
You were a man of destiny and 
You showed us that there is more to life and that 
Your upbringing does not determine your stream in life!

The Living God

I am serving the living God
A God like no other
The Creator of the universe 
Omnipresent 
Omniscient 
The beginning and the end
God who says what He means 
And means what He says

I am serving the living God
A God who never lies
A God that loves unconditionally
A covenant keeping God
The same yesterday 
Today and forever 

I am serving the living God
The God of Abraham 
The God of Isaac
The God of Jacob 
The God of Elijah
The God of Elisha
The God of TB Joshua

I am serving the living God
That delivered Daniel from the lion’s den
Delivered Shedrach Meschac 
And Abednego
From blazing fire
Delivered Israelites 
From rampaging Egyptian Army 
He made Joseph great in a foreign land

 I am serving the mighty God 
 The greatest healer
 There is no sickness He cannot heal 
 No burden He cannot bear
 No mountain He cannot level
 No situation He cannot normalize 

 I am serving the living God
 That gave His only son
 To die for me on the cross 
 To make Easter meaningful

Life's Shadow

Life's shadow
leaved for centuries
 before Christ and Anno Domini.
maneuvering again and again 
and its delighted in that.
That it's irreversible.

Life's shadow 
moving on waters
on mountains
on fire
and in valleys.
free and easy
making sure every micro
second is felt.

Life's shadow
moving confidently,
in light, 
where everyone Sees it
moving quietly
in dark,
where no one sees it.
And it's still maneuvering
for centuries where we might
Be no more.
                                                     Pett Ezra Isaac

Sir Isaac Gravity

Sir Isaac Newton was a cantankerous old soul
But more importantly, was known for a different role
When the apple fell
It's gravity he telled
His fame has lasted four hundred years or more
