Oh, esteemed clergy, heed to the lament,
Of laity's voice saddled with virtues not lent.
So also grasp the virtues and never go askew,
We all misstep, but confront the truths you knew.
Pride is tacked with injustice and palls of deceit,
Assert no purity from a tongue of the same suit.
You preach of love, yet starving us of that light,
You assert faith that still craves a discerning sight.
This is not animosity, but a call to an upright quest,
So you would thrive in honesty away a worldly jest.
Truth waver not with altitude; retract the craving for affluence,
They seduce until shadow of death draws to a confluence.
Be converted to convert the laity with words of delight,
It's only when you're true that God heals our
plight.

Be still my soul and know the truth:
Love makes you whole in body proof.
Be willing now to see the light:
Faith does endow the path of sight.
Be faithful then and find the way:
Hope tells you when to work fond play.
Be hopeful now in your affairs:
Joy works somehow to charge the air.
Be calm of heart when things go wrong:
Love will forge art to make you strong.
Be humble then when ego shouts:
You know not when the light goes out.
Be true and clear to touch each face:
Live with sure cheer that comes from grace.
Be not a judge to plunder hurts:
Learn not to smudge a person's dirt.
Be kind to all who journey here:
Each lives some gall and troubling tears.
Be true to you and live good heart:
Share then your dues as affluence starts.
Be a good friend that sees the good:
Bear blessings grand in praying mood.
Be a bright fire that warms all hearts:
You can inspire a precious start.
Be of good cheer when end comes near:
Be without fear for love lives here.
Be brave and bold to face the task:
Life can be cold if you must ask.
Be sure of this as you live quest:
Love funds a bliss where peace works best.
Live then the code beyond all laws:
Love fits the mode to transcend flaws.

The eve of the big election asses and elephants sparring.
One tramples our heart the other slowly nibbles it to death.
Affluence trying to seduce the minions with their million-dollar smirks
and five and dime lips.
I enter the election booth.
Staring through a kaleidoscope of red, white and blue.
A referendum written by whom.
I'm the dreamy fool, placing my future
in the palm of warlocks and witches
Fun house perverts and pigs
twirling ideologies with jesters on a crooked pledge.
The election cycle will come to a merciful end
Asses and elephants will gloat unchained.
Trampling and nibbling away until the madness sets in.
While a hoard of sheep and lemmings
heads for the cliff.
August 14 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Jeremiah 7-9
Key Verse – Jeremiah 7:2 Stand in the gate of the LORD's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the LORD, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD.
HEART THAT WORSHIPS THE LORD
Our heart worships the Lord through His favour
As He besieges us by His compassion’s fervour
To teach us His truth of knowledge-savour
For our faith to be strong toward holy endeavour.
Our heart worships the Lord through His wisdom
As He conquers us for His righteousness’ kingdom
To train us by His Word of prudence-freedom
For our minds to be illumined toward divine Christendom.
Our heart worships the Lord through His instruction
As He leads us by His direction’s perfection
To control us with His sovereignty-function
For our will to be surrendered toward heavenly action.
Our heart worships the Lord through His light
As He revives us by His power’s might
To use us according to His desire-delight
For our worth to be valuable toward eternal flight.
Our heart worships the Lord through His fellowship
As He welcomes us to His friendship’s relationship
To nourish us with His authority-leadership
For our effectiveness to be fruitful toward faithful stewardship.
Our heart worships the Lord through His blessing
As He provides for us by His goodness’ enforcing
To satisfy us with His supply-embracing
For our gratefulness to be constant toward worshipful praising.
Our heart worships the Lord through His presence
As He meets us with His love’s iridescence
To assure us about His promise-affluence
For our trust to be steadfast toward prayerful influence.

Mantle--a fluid shelf that cradles all existence;
Soil--a table that nurtures all subsistence
Flora--a cultivated canvas that neutralizes resistance;
Fauna--a habituated benefactor of indulgence.
Wind--a mysterious force of ambivalence,
Dispersing seed and spore with diligence.
Fondling cloak that cools with benevolence;
Powerful menace that uproots with violence.
Fire, generative force imbuing hearth with resilience;
A temporal light that provides luminescence.
Warming incubator, glowing candescence,
Brooding killer scorching with indifference.
Water--a random discharge of providence.
A vast reservoir of expedience.
An enervating stream that fuels with prescience;
An extractor that disperses with each recurrence.
Immutable elements with primordial affluence;
Material objects manipulated for human ascendence.

Hello world
I'm not a follower
Unless you're trying to serve the Lord
I refuse to compromise
It's not my way, it's not your Way
To abandon an often extreme position of our attitudes
Uncompromising intransigent the oppositions
An intransigent attitude not an absence
Qualify the refusing to change our opinions or behaviour
World I'm adamant,
Devil, I'm adamant that you're bullheaded hard-nosed
Guess what, what right is not wrong
And I won't be listening to your noise-songs
Guess continually I'm gonna be...intransigent
I'm unrelenting, unyielding my cadence to these this unruly audience
I stand Affluence Conscience
Yet still, in my defence,
I refuse to compromise in sin I'll ever stand an intransigence

Bright blessings bloom in that sure light,
Exult with grace what fancy feels.
Ask for more room to fashion right:
Charm wears a face to forge goodwill,
Hurl pure joy then as change finds fit;
Allow crisp cheer a mellow voice,
Note how and when to sync fine wit;
Glimpse love right here that sparkles choice,
Etch words that niche the path of peace.
Arrive with health that knows the way,
Gain happy pitch with profound ease;
Embrace sound wealth as affluence stays,
Notice that blame is hollow stuff,
Thrill your good name with acts enough.

Set your sights well on goodness here,
Thoughts that you dwell spark fiery cheer.
Begin fond quest with a bold heart,
Focus your zest on fancy art.
Know that full store of good and grand,
Seize ever more life's spice dear friend.
Know the truth then that life is full,
The proof my friend outlives the fool.
Plenty is here if you but see,
Start wise good cheer to claim what's free.
There is a law that obeys touch,
Rise above flaws to own that much.
Align and be what you attract,
Fortune you see follows wise tact.
The law obeys the man who shows,
Think, do and say to show you know.
Affluence awaits the man who lives,
Fortune relates just what you give.
Abundance speaks of thoughts you think,
To claim the peak, fit what you link.
Rich is the man who knows he can,
Live journey grand in shifting sand.

Ongoing Generation
Human nature changing, hardening fast,
loosing emotions, always in hurry.
Affluence hits society in gust.
Future demands more and more luxury.
New generations challenged by ego,
rushing, running, leaving close attachments.
‘My life is mine’ ! All others to forego.
Self-centred aim, surpassing sentiments.
Civilisation in rapid progress.
on materialistic perspective.
Science and technology to impress.
Dealings dominate, feelings inactive.
‘High-living’ on ‘Plain -thinking’ in future.
Emotional bonding not to nurture.

My mystical fairy exclaims~ there’s a place I know,
A dreamland of fantasy, exempt from human woe
Undisturbed by misery of tenebrous earthly throe
Where nightmares don’t exist, dreams come true
And moonlit dawns wallow as whispers of love woo
Blushing sun’s amber glow, scintillating cobalt blue.
She leads me on pathways paved in bricks of gold
Pointing to motifs of signs jeweled glamorously bold,
Evidence of affluence and prosperity citizens behold
Free from mortal worries, luxuriating life carefree
On lagoons and sandy beaches of paradisiacal sea
Where passions tango and romantic yearnings spree.
Lies are unheard in this land, truth is never blurred,
Vocabulary insists love is a precious, beloved word
As neither hate, nor bigotry, nor jealousies bemoan
For benevolence and compassion eminently atone
Offering misdeeds forgiveness as prayers seek solace
Sending imperfection to learn from sage of flawless.
Enticed by her charm, to elixir of ecstasy I’m drawn
Traversing unknown where no human has ever gone
In wonderland of opulence~ utopian, exotic, perfect,
Exuding eminence distinguished by esoteric intellect;
There, I’m awakened, hypnotized in kiss of goodbye
When despondent in illusion, my reality utters a sigh.
