TO BEING ON BOARD *
I can remember when
It was blackboards,
Which have been replaced
By their whiteboards;
Loaded with selective
Brainwashing videos:
Primarily coded to entertain
Rather than educate;
Particularly, if you’ve not chosen
Teaching as a labor of love:-
When asked how could I, at 83,
Teach without a whiteboard,
I simply replied that I was
A live retired living blackboard:
Programmed by God’s divine wisdom
And guidance to continue to engage
In a labor of love—teaching and sharing
Inspirational and dedicated problem-solving
Skills to the chosen future liberators:-

They are the fruits
of our sown seeds
in the womb of life;
They are the foot-stepped
followers of today’s times
and its challenges;
They are the precious gifts
that our Creator’s love
has given us to cherish;
They are the navel travelers
whose pathway we must palisade
with love’s wisdom and guidance:-
Let us daily remind them
God has gifted them worthily
To overcome life’s challenges:-
Let us daily remind them
That in the challenges of life,
“Don’t be sorry; be aware:-”
Let’s daily African Proverb them:
“To not know is bad;
To not wish to know is worst:-”
Let us daily aware them:
NI & divine wisdom seeks liberty;
AI can deviously stream shackling:-
Remember, they are our heirs;
The blessed liberators we’ve waited for
To ensure our eyes’ mountaintop prize:-

DECIPHERING IT ALL
Spell evolution;
delete the last 5 letters;
spell backwards…those left:-
Getting back to love,
will fuel our evolution
in overcoming:-
Turned around by love,
we evolve into being
it’s liberators:-
With deciphered love,
let’s get to what must be done
in labors of it:-
With this gift of God,
let us rebound our failures
and make achievements:-

Don't anger us
We so dangerous
Spirits speaking
It's not for the carnal
Man on a mission
Liberation thy goal
Mediocre can't relate.
Our words
So dangerous
To manipulators
Oppressors and more
It threatens their system
We're the liberators
Liberating people
From all forms of slavery.
You can't ruin us
rule us negatively
We so generous
Divinely guided
Highly protected
All time, places and realms
We've got fierce protectors
Giving us confidence
We are so dangerous but meek
Almighty God we always lean on.

D-Day + 80
They came as boys
but left as men.
Their prayers cried,
please not again!!!
When war intrudes
young lives transcend.
Lives marching forth,
as others end.
With hate and vile
come enemies,
to kill and maim;
atrocities.
Can peace prevail
when hatred boils?
The soldier cares
not for the spoils.
American soldiers were never invaders or occupiers. They have always moved as liberators.

A story should I tell you; not an ancient one,
Modern men too in their madness how from truth shun;
Cultures changes; how lives, like ghosts, yet, blind beliefs!
To the very humans how these bring endless griefs!
Possibilities seemed a gold or sapphire shine,
Paths welcomed him like landscapes breathtakingly fine;
Though like a lonely vagabond, he did enter,
He could feel, to him, each one great smiles did render...!
Betwixt smiles he found, midst them exists Satan old,
In the name of rituals, makes enslavement bold;
Caste, color, creed, and sex it defines as morals,
Ethnic enmity is worn as choicest laurels...!
As one born to set free them, he began his task,
They fell on him like pigs and did their wrath unmask;
Perilous pains they caused to him; He bore them all,
Loving them, caring them, he heard the divine call...!
The story is not ended. It's still carried on,
To the hard-hearted, there's no dawn so far is born;
Liberators, like the sun and moon, come and go,
The wind of change on such ones, never wills to blow...!!!

No God for Expiation
By Sy Roth
Held in ungodly thrall
Their bodies wracked blasphmely dry
Loosley held together by the striped cloth.
Typhus-infested, David-starred beasts
Caricatures of humanity
Carved into beasts of burden
Only worthy of torture, or
Zyklon deaths---
Their punishment for existence
Work, arbeit, toil, till death,
Clock-seconds beating to an end,
When they strip their striped clothing from them.
Anxious to live,
The snakes slough the skin
And hide among them
Become lice-infected beings hungry for escape.
Concealed in the garb of the louse
They are revealed to the liberators.
The cockroaches exposed the beasts
Tore at them
Before they could find
Any God to expiate them.

Ideas should be our liberators
that would provide wings to each of our dreams
We must never let them our prison to be
That soul's determination and power dims!

They looked destitute, desperate and worn-out
from the inside. Their spirit and pride was deflated
from within.
On the other end they saw their dreams chained
and buried in tombs, by people who claimed
were liberating them from darkness;
without their spirit, they were in the dark.
A wall was separating them from their presumed liberators;
the wall was invisible and high. The wall was in their thoughts...

The heart of a man thrives wholly
with the respect of a woman whose nurturing
soul is not threatened by his strength
but finds comfort in his protective care.
The love of a woman is won completely
by a man willing to lay bare his vulnerability
at the mere sight of her approving smile
or the touch of her healing hands.
And neither is threatened by the role of the other,
but are wise in the ways of their creator,
in whose infinite wisdom
endowed each with opposite strengths
so they may be equal partners
walking forth solidly hand in hand
as co-conquerers of challenge
and liberators of love.

Who am I ?
Someone standing
On the shore
Or some one
Who sailed across
The seven seas.
I am the toiler of sea
A seeder of the earth
An emblem in nectar
For the humming bees
A creator in deeds
For impassioned ends
In tune with liberators.
My bones return to earth
And roads flash under pines
Trusting the high clouds
Or carried in palpitation
By the stilted winds
In greet for the advent
Of some warmer seasons.

Hail this American killing machine!
Our power multiplied by our
ability to market
abomination
And damnation of enemies
following a leader
we see criminal
Though not voted for by citizens
or questioned by legislature
or put on trial
Not to spread democracy but to
force it into hearts
by ripping through flesh
Exposing the armor of bone
encasing the heart and
breaking it free
Then through media and propaganda
it is massaged to beat in a manner
that is American and good
Only to have the heart reject
the surgeon that saves it
as it explodes staining the faces
Of its liberators and fallen comrades
now seen as sacrifice and martyr
causing unity against a foreign invader
That no longer has an agenda
just presence in fallen family rooms
where justice has never dwelled before or after
