We see the story (in these names) of those born in Babylon (both figuratively and literally). There are breaches and enchantments and laughter (but You help us understand). While we are serving God, we see His covenants of peace and healing and of being a Helper in times of need, raising us up spiritually and disciplining us as children. You provide the necessities of life. You are to be praised and glorified as You add to Your people the church in the wilderness. Jehovah You are majestic, and Your eyes to pure to look upon all the blatherskites and their behavior. You give good gifts (better than any person gives). You establish justice and Your laws are right (Thy Word is truth). You build up, You tear down. The Earth is Yours to do with as You please. You help us forget our misery because You are our Father, the great God Jehovah is Your name. And as You covenanted with Abraham, You also gave (and gave at the proper time) the Gift of all gifts that is Jesus Who is our salvation. So don’t be shy, ask of God and He will deliver. Ask and you shall see we can be healthy, wealthy and wise in Him. Amen.

Praise be to You, Almighty God
Thank you for recording the Sacred Scriptures, the Bible.
We read Your written Word; we hear Your spoken Word;
if we write and speak in reference to the divine,
we must be careful not to change even one little word.
Father, I do not understand, but all praise is Yours.
No human can comprehend the work of your Spirit,
in interpreting what the Bible brings to our minds.
Praise be to You, Our Creator
At creation, You spoke the universe into being.
Over the chaos of nothingness, your Spirit hovered
and worlds were formed, networks that form a bridge
from the mighty sun to the tiniest individual cell.
At the tower of Babel, you confused the language
of men and scattered them across the whole earth
to thwart their evil thoughts of making a name for themselves.
Praise be to You, Our Savior
Jesus, You are the living Word, full of grace, full of truth.
At the age of twelve, you astounded the Temple elders by your words;
You were doing your Father's business.
The Beatitudes, the Sermon on the Mount tell how you want us to live.
Protect them from weak translations and deliberate change.
We need no other words than the Bible which has stood
for two thousand years to guide our spiritual growth.
Praise be to You, the Holy Spirit
You speak not on your own authority, but by the sanction
of Him who spoke the world into being.
You put the words in the hearts and minds of forty men who
wrote the Bible, His Holy Word, our guidebook.
Give us understanding so we can be true testimony to
God's goodness - His love, His truth, His grace.
My prayer: to never degrade or misuse Your holy Word.
mene tekel peres - calligraphic prescience.
global village voice - a dialect of babel
the poetry slam - pen viva voce
inherent bloodline - curdle into nepotism
Atlanta's Oliver Hardy
so pretentious and somewhat lardy,
had a sidekick,bungling,but thin
both silently,still bring a grin
The talented Christina Rossetti
wrote carols and much poetry.
Married love elluded her,I'm afraid,
the poor lass dying as a spinster maid
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
a Victorian pre - raphelite ,you see,
with his true love,buried his poetry
but later ....could not let them be.
Playwright Wiliam Shakespeare
held rhyme & cadence ,so dear.
Plays in verse were his thing
making our English lingo sing.
There once was a composer named Cage
whose compositions caused 'listener' rage.
His music,was too radically new,
it gave the orchestra so little to do
Edmund Clerihew Bentley
wrote poetry everso gently.
His greatest claim to fame
immortalised his mother's maiden name
For the lovely Adelaide Crapsey
a long life was not to be.
In syllable,two,four,six &eight
she created the cinquain anew!
Scottish poet Wiliam Soutar
is now well known wide and far,
for a his diary of a dying man-
Do read his whigmaleeries, if you can

Seventeen thousand special K
vanished into thin air
in one fell swoop life savings
fraudulent fiend did clear
yours truly duped
courtesy scammer with consummate flair
rowdies in peanut gallery doth jeer
raucous insult to injury outware
any remaining shred,
where peace of mind concerned
unraveling threads feeling victimized
Harvey Specter's lobbed hand grenades
fractured, exploded, destroyed... psyche
how mean spirited and unfair.
Amidst din in noggin
analogous to tower of Babel
meaningless mysterious cable
enclosed holding key
to deliver remuneration
bringing tears of joy
and Hollywood ending
to torturous surreal fable
decrypted applying
following conversion table
7.15 6.21.14.4 13.5
fiasco from fraudster
(fiendish) frazzles father
would elicit flickering salvation.
I still haint reckoned with reality
and shake me head in disbelief
mourning forsaken legal tender
while yours truly merrily
strolling along information superhighway
unexpected encountering grief
sorely missing nest egg
linkedin with devilish scheme hatched
when computer hacker
impersonating Apple technician
lured me into a virtual net.
He (who spoke
with a clipped English affect)
his trust earned,
though no questions I asked him,
thus never double checked
truthfulness of authenticity
regarding his being credentialed
by Apple Computer Company
only after the fact painfully learning
checking and savings accounts wrecked.
Expertise with fleecing
sheepish folks like me
most likely found him laughing
all the way to the bank
donning poised demeanor ernest and frank
allowed, enabled, and provided
being emboldened, empowered
to pull off heist,
which legerdemain possibly refined
playing many a boyhood prank
pull the wool over my eyes
and extracting legal tender
he slyly, knowingly,
and deftly did yank
key personal information
compromising willpower to remain alive,
whereat suicidal ideation
(via prescription medication overdose)
teases as modus operandi to escape
death by a thousand cuts
unsure how I can weather insolvency,
a bitter battle to survive
and bear witness to monies thrive.
Pride is a motivator, a stimulator of scarlet soul
an accelerator to the next glorious goal
generator of newcoming awakening
cultivator out cunning the unkind
cutting away all the doubts and flouts, leaving the babel and rabble behind,
a slayer of beasts and witches,
pulverizer of all that threatens my wishes,
Pride is an educator, a teacher whom need not flatter
or conspire to push passion higher,
a preacher promisin that you can be better than you thought you were,
transformer from the mediocre to a raw reformer
makin my heart the perfect love performer
romanticizer of the love battles that my Lady and I thunder
reinforcer of our durable dreams, encourager for our beautiful hunger,
Pride has weather, moving me to smile at the wind and bear the barbs of error,
an innovator of my instincts, reflector of bleeding color
It compells me to be a competitor, a finisher, and a star runner,
my blessings won't bow to humble hoaxes
my talent cannot tolerate the tamming of tragedies
my courage will not cower with the false virtue of humble hypnotism
ain't no way a honkeytonk humbler gonna wear away my sway,
my faith will not stumble upon the stones of humble wastelands,
I wasn't born to walk with humble eyes,
I'm alive to thrive with a sacred strive,
in pride I hear the voice of my Creator say, be great or die!
J.A.B.
CELESTIAL ARTISTRY
Dexterity the holes
From which I breath through
Imaginative virtues pour
From this body I inhabit,
Caught up in life's entangle.
But almost written off
Which birth my rising up
Sprouted by write-ups,
That fire never goes off,
The phenomenon that blow me up
Turns me to the hero
That writes history without pen
Saliently going for the glory
Then jealousy of the future
Will pervade the past;
Welcome to the chronicles of victory
It is an unending story
Towering Babel past the first heaven
Even skyscraper marvel in envy,
Oceans roar in raving reverence,
Kilimanjaro sinks to its knees in awe,
The cedar swept away like ashes
Though a forceful and flawless victory
There is a price and part to play
In this timely preparation scorching phase;
The more you sweat in this practise
The less you bleed in battle
Till you change from the glory of yesterday
And tell this story to my seeds,
A generation gifted & lifted with endowments.

We have all came into this world
equally, as human beings that no doubt
the great creator touched our very being
bearing us in his image what he's about
But when we look at man's behaviour
that equality seems to have got lost
self is the rule over everything else
such being man's heart hard as frost
All over the world, all are different
many colours abroad from man's skin
this certainly shouldn't matter at all
but sadly it puts many being out or in
Many languages around the globe
originated at the biblical tower of Babel
many religions to fill man's void
but still, they fail to meet man's label
But really, after all, we need to be humble
to treat everyone with respect and care
for human, we are covering all aspects
consider each other no matter our colour
(" It does not matter whats the colour of your skin, what language do you speak, what religion you believe in. It is that we should all consider each other as human beings.")
- Malala Yousafzai (1997- present)
“God within me is the enjoyer of the aroma,
like this dopamine boosting flavor I taste.
I surrender all pleasures to the dweller of my heart,
breath by breath so that my soul may be chaste”
He is the one that loves me and watches me night and day
as I sip my coffee I ponder on my future and His way
How can I yield to Him when my hopes are on the fringe ?
A caffeinated woman highly stimulated by life, unhinged
like the fences of my childhood past, ...
He is the scent that clings to my bones at my most secret hour
the shadow that never leaves me, my Babel Tower
How can I be obedient until death when life continues to shower?
Juiced up to the max by life's contours I tend to cower
like the deer in the forest I shrink away fast, ...
He is the light at the end of a long and darkly tunnel
a few prayers on the lips and I am able to leave this jungle
How can I serve Him best, when all I do is stumble
revved up like a strong cup of espresso I can only guzzle
like a thirsty beggar, without a solid repast.
Noah survived the flood with sons Japheth, Ham, and Shem.
Along with the animals of the earth, God spared them.
With floods, He vowed never again to do such a thing.
God made a covenant with Noah and his offspring:
“You and your sons shall populate the world as you go.
Look up into the clouds and you shall see My rainbow.
This is a sign the covenant is everlasting.
All creatures shall thrive, along with each human being.”
Noah’s grandson, firstborn of Ham, Canaan was his name.
He had to serve Shem and Japheth because he brought shame.
Ham also gave birth to Cush; who in turn brought Raamah.
Raamah extended the line with Dedan and Sheba.
Shem was fruitful producing many generations.
Arphaxad and Aram’s progeny would lead nations.
Among Japheth’s seven sons were Gomer and Javan
Their descendents also had produced many children.
Among Ham’s descendents was a king who defied God.
A mighty hunter and warrior, he was Nimrod.
His kingdom had contained land from Babylonia.
Moreover, it stretched as far south as Assyria.
His great cities included Calah and Nineveh.
They lived on land between the Euphrates and Tigris.
His people united and strong were making progress.
Nimrod proclaimed, “We have one language and great power.
Let us assemble and raise a very tall tower.
This ziggurat will provide a stairway to a star.
We are an ambitious people, and we can go far!”
A new great city appeared on the plain of Shinar.
With formidable walls constructed with bricks and tar.
God realized these persons were filling with contempt,
He wished to halt their foolhardy fallacious attempt.
Perplexing their language among them caused confusion.
They stopped construction and divided with diffusion.
God’s almighty power can never be defeated.
Therefore, the Tower Of Babel was not completed.
A ziggurat is a temple of Babylonian architecture resembling a pyramid. It begins
with either a square or a rectangular base. Additional stories with smaller floor
space create a terrace effect on each level.
