Premium Member IN THE WAKE OF POLITICAL RENDERINGS
IN THE WAKE OF POLITICAL RENDERINGS In today’s diabolical Political renderings, Let’s not be like Naked sage trees: Leaves and fruits rotting In unjust, bigoted political dirt:- Rather, today let’s spring into life And be like un-cocooned butterflies, Soaring free and prepared as ought to be: Pollinating flowering life with justice and equality:- And like hived bees, let’s be about the honey flowing Of...

Premium Member Improvising Existence
Improv is an unscripted comedy form. Starting with an idea for a sketch, actors interact with each other, making up things as they go. As one person responds to another, “No, but…” squashes spontaneity, while “Yes, and…” builds the banter, propelling witty action forward. Quick and clever dialogue promises even more to come. Then, after finding an apt ending, a brand-new sketch can begin. Our lives are...

Autumn Leaves
They fall from grace to grass, aged, scorched and dehydrated, fluttering away further the vanity of previous greenness and elevated times, reminding us of the fragility of life, the futility of striving to hang on when time is up....

TO BEING HERE ON THIS GLORIOUS DAY Because you are in it, This is a blessed day To enjoy and be glad in:- While some have been called in, You have been given another day To be an instrument of His Peace And a daily reflector of His Love:- Despite the painful challenges, This day will confront you with, Healing grace and divine wisdom Shall guide...

Premium Member WITH HOPE FAITH IN THE PROMISE
WITH HOPE AND FAITH IN THE PROMISE Like roaring rivers flowing under bordering bridges, Cascading over, under, and around blocking stones, So must we be as we continue to struggle Along the freedom road to promise equanimity:- As we encounter injustice’s walls of opposition, Let us approach them as remnants of Jericho: Their fate and destiny, victims of fortitude...

Life is a battlefield
This life is a fierce battlefield, Little did I know before my birth, My weapons should have been better honed, So no earthly force could conquer me. Friends I made while I was nobody, Turned to foes when I sought to be somebody, Those I loved with all my heart and soul Blew pepper in my eyes when vision blurred. Deceit...

Premium Member Usefulness
All gifts must be given to sustain their usefulness. Like blood, life is in the flow, if not flowing, blood dries and dies. Movement, the constant changing, sustains the life of all living entities of creation. The Sun gives energy that sustains life on Earth. It renews itself every night by sharing the job of lighting the Earth with the...

My intent is wordless
In the wilderness of bewilderment, Sculpting different sorts of thoughts, Where intent fades, needing no interment, And truth exudes from all its rots. There lies the stark resolve for my future, A slender hope of life ahead, Bound together by a catgut suture, That time corrodes until it's shed. All kept away from prying eyes, Ever before my intent was conceived, Just to keep all...

Life Of A Cigar
A cigar is appreciated simply, By observing how it is burned. From where it starts till it ends, The fire erases its way forward. As the smoke favors consume, It's like life how the story goes From birth to its maturity show. Going forward written as will, Like history unfold its all done, Read every pages up to the end. Retold its content to every...

Premium Member Clouds Blowing in the Wind
The clouds are swirling in the wind, Unique designs appear within. An artist’s brush could be the air, For many forms are found up there. Look up there, it’s a swimming whale, ‘Twill quickly change with the next gale. It seems so strange to change so much, It makes it hard to keep in touch. There’s a ship with the flag raised high, It...

Premium Member JERICHO AWAKENING
JERICHO AWAKENING Deception has always been A strategy and ally of injustice; Veiling its ruthless deeds, And shifting attention From aged-old atrocities, While living and percolating Behind invisible Jericho walls:- Let not the reality Of new Jericho borders Blind and deceive us:- Legislative freedom and unity For so-called refugees, Remain at hand, and Our struggle to be masters Of ourselves continues; We being caged and considered Refugees in this, our...
