Are You Sure Im Mad

People thought I’d lost my head but I was just confused, 
l had facts to make sense of stood in a queue.
others had theories easy to refuse 
loaded with madness showing delude, 
and I got away for reasons unknown 
as they simplified “why” alike thoughtless clones 
yet stood in numbers or "a safety zone". 

now my heads clearing I can see the insanity,
one quit weed and I can say it was me, 
looking at a past mad as can be, 
think they’re not mad, 
people say that, 
when their mad as can be.
 
not making sense is different to senseless, 
I still have mine but they have no senses, 
living in a world of reality elusion, 
silver linings in the fact I removed them.

Premium Member The Poorer We Are

The poorer we are the bigger
our gain into Heaven.
Who said the rich can't get into heaven?
For each one they lift up is a step closer
to God.
For He knows the Heart of all.
There are those who just don't give for
Tax Deductions.  
There are those who give not to gain.
There are those who trully believe their
well-being was meant to blanket the poor.

There are reasons for rich and poor alike.
Not just for possessions and power.
But the sharing of ones time, energy, resources
and life.  

Who says the rich can't get into heaven? Think again.
And, ponder it well.

We Are a Part of God

We are a part of God, within him
God is a part of us, within us

We are a part of world, within it
Although we seem to be working for us,
we are actually working for the world

There’s a world within us
All of our cells are working for us

We are a small cell of the universe
We all belong to large body called earth

All are interdependent, interconnected
Joined by life cycle

Only if all healthy 
We can be healthy
World can be healthy

Recent pandemic proved this perfectly
Ancient men understood this clearly

God permeates all bodies of living organisms
Physical characteristics may differ
They are mere clothing of soul

We are a part of God
Everyone, everything around part of God too
Everything is God
All are embodiment of God

Release selfishness, embrace  oneness
Love all as you would love your body parts

Help all, serve all, be good to all
Have no enmity, hatred, jealousy towards anybody
Talking negative is akin to criticizing God

If you truly love God, you will love one and all
You will never harm anybody, anything in this world

Once you embrace oneness, 
Once you realise you are a speck of dust in the large body of God
Once you understand all are equal

Your ego will cease to exist
You will humbly surrender unto the Lord as a mere servant 

You will experience bountiful love for whole creation
You will experience bliss beyond imagination

If all understood their true nature and position
If all loved all
World would be perfect, healthy and blissful place

When I Forget They Are Me

A dispute among them

Selfish favorite three

What has happened? 

Causing such ruckus 

Blatantly oblivious 

Service to their ideals 

I forgot they were me.

Except death is inevitable. 

They return to the dispute 

Soldier on forge ahead 

As I try to keep quiet 

These famous three

Not a thinker amongst them

Lacking riveting appeal 

And authentic Belonging 

I forgot they are me again 

Except Death, he is something. 

Mostly annoying and boring 

The other two are the main reasons. 

For taking medications

So many medications 

That doesn't work, evidently. 

Her shrill voice gets too loud. 

Doubling up dosing makes

Turns shrill into whispering 

As I've stated numerous times 

It's worse than the screaming 

My curiosity began to fade. 

I'll get back to my writing. 

Better than medications 

So many medications 

The famous three 

ing pestiferous three

Premium Member All Soldiers Are Great and Brave

All soldiers are great and brave
Except the ones that many cowards
Use to commit crimes against the enslaved
Citizens, who disobey the laws of the fake lords.

Many so-called law enforcers are not soldiers
If they were, they would have been more righteous
Because good soldiers fought against the palavers
Of the criminals and the injustices of the bad judges.

"Old soldiers never die", said the old adage
Old soldiers have fought against tyranny
Old brave soldiers have fought for liberty.

All good soldiers are trained to defeat injustice
Though not all in military uniforms are sage
And disciplined like warriors who yearn for peace.

LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY STRONG DEFENSE
                                                               
Lord God, You are my strong Defense, keeping me in Your righteousness
Thank You for delivering me from adversities’ oppressiveness
Kindle my courage by Your strong steadfastness---
King of kings, I bow to You: surrendering to You with submissiveness. 

Lord God, You are my strong Defense, keeping me in Your truth’s counsel
Thank You for silencing me from doubts by Your epistle
Kedge my cowardice away from lack of righteous bravery to wrestle---
King of kings, I honour You: entrusting to You my life’s vessel. 

Lord God, You are my strong Defense, keeping me from transgression
Thank You for cleansing me when I seek Your pardon in my confession
Knock down my arrogance by Your biblical instruction---
King of kings, I worship You: praising You Your granted sanctification. 

Lord God, You are my strong Defense, keeping me in Your grace
Thank You for blessing me to win along life’s race
Knit my heart within Your fellowship’s embrace---
King of kings, I prioritize You: seeking You always. 

Lord God, You are my strong Defense, keeping me in Your might
Thank You for shielding me from deceit by Your light
Kiss away my sorrow’s tears by Your merciful delight---
King of kings, I yield to You: relying on You against vanity’s height. 

Lord God, You are my strong Defense, keeping me in Your care continually
Thank You for hearing me in my prayer sincerely
Key in my goals along Your teachings Scripturally--- 
King of kings, I humble before You: learning from Your Word daily. 

Lord God, You are my strong Defense, keeping me in heart against evil
Thank You for guarding me of my choices from peril
Knead my spirituality as I stay in Your perfect will--- 
King of kings, I depend on You: grateful for Your sacrifice at Calvary’s hill.

Premium Member Ents Are Tree-Lings That Walk and Talk

Imagine if seeds of trees hatched to Tree-lings.
Seedlings with two trunk legs and root feet
Bodies like humans covered in bark
Arm branches with finger shoots and leaves
Head with eyes, nose, ears and mouth
Like those cut into tree trunks eons ago.
Meet the Ents, pre-tree creatures,
Half-man, half-tree, destined to mature into trees.
When they are about two-score rings old and more
Their tired trunks grow roots
And Ents lose their human-like features and become just trees.

Ents can walk to establish new Ent colonies.
Ent armies can mobilize and fight against loggers
Who want to hack down their grand parents the trees.
You can stroll with an Ent on long walks through the forest
To hear their wonderful stories and legends.

Ents can talk and sing their arbor songs.
They also have ears and can hear what you say to them.
So you can talk to the trees, give them a hug
And say how much you love them.
But watch out, as Ents can be very argumentative,
Especially about how the forests are being cleared and
Roads cut through their midst, and even global warming.

Ents are too big and messy with leaf drop to invite into your home.
But they love a picnic in the open.
They hate smoke, which they fear, and so barbecues are out.
They love going to the beach where they can dip their toes and trunks.
The mangroves taught them how to swim and they love to bathe and swim about,
In the cool seawater and play with the seaweed and kelp.
They float well, and love to jump in a river and get carried downstream in the current.
They love a game of ring-around-rosy and even a maypole game.
Ents are are also very good and gentle with kids.
They love to have kids climb and play in their branches.
They are avid experts at swinging and swirling kids around their trunks.

So next time you wander through a forest
Call out "Ent, Ents can You Hear Me?"
Gently tap on trunks as you go
And don't be surprised if you hear the leaves rustle
Or hear a grumble, and see Ent eyes pop open in slits in the bark.
Ents love a chat and hug and a cuddle, and a scratch in their bark
Even when they get lazy and get rooted to the ground.

The Ents are there, you just need to believe in them and find them.

We live by the blood of our ancestors Our names are written by light

A powerful poem, inspired by a thought-provoking storyline on a show. We are all part of the great human family and everyone is important. Our diversity is a strength. Let's embrace every colour of the rainbow. Blessings. 

We live by the blood of our ancestors
(Our names are written by light)
By Michelle Morris
17/02/2024

We stand on your shoulders
Yet the water is still above our heads
When will the nightmares end?
When will black no longer be dreaded?

We live by the blood of our ancestors
Spilled time and again to save our futures
When will our blood be enough?
When will the red be a good hue?

We survive and do our best to get by
We are black magic and black tragic for their games
When will we just be part of humanity?
When will our being be good enough to be named?

For shoulders are tired, so tired, so tired
And our blood is too wise, too wise, too wise
Our magic has tried, has tried, has tried
The tears stay in our eyes, our eyes, our eyes

For our ancestors have tried, have tried, have tried
And our future is strived, is strived, is strived
For too many loved ones have died, have died, have died
And our names have risen through pride, through pride, through pride

So, try to put us in the ground, with the dust and the worms
So, try to keep us down planting cotton and corn
And we will keep rising, like the sun each day
And we will be a tribe that lives on to say

We stand on one another's shoulders
And we will learn to swim
We will hold on to the hope and dreams
For the black is the beauty of our skin

We live and we love, it's in our DNA
We share and we hold on to hope and faith
We are here together 
By God's everloving grace

We've survived and we'll thrive
For we are black magic and miracles
We are the birth of humanity, the cradle of it all
We need no name, for we are one connected whole

For shoulders are wired, so wired, so wired
And our blood is pure life, pure life, pure life
Our magic is sired, is sired, is sired
The stars stay in our eyes, our eyes, our eyes

For our ancestors are nigh, are nigh, are nigh
Up in Heaven so high, so high, so high
And our future is delight, is delight, is delight
And our names are written by light, by light, by light

Premium Member We are Still here

We are stil here musing toying 
about frolicking throughout 
the galaxy only he and I can
muster up the courage to 
devour life's simple pleasures 
crafted and so well hidden 

a little bit of heaven on earth 
that we share like freshest 
peaches on a lazy river he 
and i humming my favorite 
songs somewhere beyond 
the sea somewhere over 

the rainbow colorful hearts 
pour from the sky splashing 
us beneath the sun rays as 
we run for cover between 
colorful hues dazzled by day 
by night singing the blues 

he and I are the only ones left 
alive all our troubles has gone 
leaving us here right here 
right now we are still here
