Spiritual Strategies For Trump Times

We're in the midst of trump times and 
We need to understand 
That that individual in the White House 
Is not a righteous man 
He's all about division, discord 
And disarray 
And when a domestic terror act occurred 
He did not have much to say 
White nationalists staged a rally to keep 
A confederate statue in place 
No regard and no respect for any other 
Ethnicity nor any other race 
A group of anti- protesters were in a
Peaceful march as well 
Until a nationalist in a car mowed them down 
Causing utter hell

We're in trump times the country's 
Moral barometer has done a reverse 
We're in trump times trust and believe
It can only get worse
Threats against the North Koreans 
Who are launching potential weapons to kill
Instead of using diplomacy 
Trump wants to assert his will
On the precipice of what could 
Possibly become world war 3 
What should we do?
What are our spiritual strategies? 

One, we would do well to accept
The invitation from Christ our Savior
To worship, witness and walk
With a Christlike behavior
We need God to remind us
That we are not alone
And never ever forget that its He
Who sits on the throne 
God is in charge He's still in control
Hopefully He'll work on presidents
Trump and Kim Jong Un souls 

Two, we need gather together in 
Remembrance of He
Jesus the Christ who died
To give us the victory
To eat of the bread and drink of the wine
Remnants of His body and blood 
To examine our own hearts
And acknowledge His unconditional love
To stay in touch with reality 
To remember our past and our pain
Of the slavery that is still on American
A badge of shame

Let us never forget 
what has come to pass
Let us never forget Jesus 
and the love for us He has
For when we remember we reestablish 
All truths and how they came to be
And no tweet will erase nor change
The true reality 

Trump talks about fake news
But free press will prevail 
As only free press stops a nation from 
Becoming a dictatorship from hell

Spiritual strategies for trump times 
We need to realize 
We need to stay united
And keep our eyes on the prize 
Let us never forget the blood 
That was shredded and the sacrifice
Let us never forget that for our sins
Jesus gave His life
Let us look past skin color
And ignore race 
Let us remember God 
Who gave us His infinite 
Mercy and Grace

Good and Bad Leaders

From the beginning of time there have been good and bad leaders in each and every country. 

There are leaders who concern themselves with the well being of all its fellow citizens and they don’t worship money because they find ways to share it with those most in need first. They straddle the fence but they lean more towards the right than towards the wrong and find themselves becoming ever so strong.

Universal Health will keep all its fellow citizens healthy because without it, as disturbing as this may sound, plagues can be wide spread; a cough here a sneeze there, the question is who really cares. Will it be you, me or we?

There are those who convince others to follow them with empty promises of “See what I’m doing I’m putting more money in your hands, you the people who are tired and sick of lack. I’m creating more JOBS and more security, just follow me!”

Follow you? The one who is undermining its citizens by proposing to get rid of The Environmental Protection Agency and if you succeed than that’s the beginning of living in a lawless land, that would be naivety. 

Would a good leader put its citizens at risk just to bring in oil and mining companies that violate corporate ethics?

Being Americans we all may feel a sense of privilege because our country imports and exports an abundance of goods and we all want our “Goods and Plenty”. And our barometer of enough, have been ignored with more and more stuff. “It’s the American Way” many will say.

But in America we have the “Haves” and the “Have Nots” Therefore the “Haves” may feel that they stand to lose a lot if they stand up for the “Have Nots”
“Oh such a hard decision to make” Not really, it will be a bigger mistake when the “Have Nots’’ realize that their condition all the time was fake.

We all eat, sleep, dress and rest and look our best. Some travel by foot some travel by plane but they all travel just the same.

So we seldom examine the truth because the lie is more appealing and it agrees with our greed.

My Leader promised me that He would supply all my needs. 

Food, shelter, clothes, understanding, joy, gladness, and prosperity 
And he’s never disappointed me.

Red Wall

Red Wall 

Give they money and ask me to bring 
Some tools, tables, chairs or ladders 
Near to the red wall with fine pieces of art 
To lift up those who are short 
To make them strong they are required food 
And to make them healthy who are weak we required medicine 
And a request is sent to the trainers to train people who are unskilled 
A teacher is also brought to them to enhance their learning 
Pneumonic science is also applied 
So that they can hone their capacity of memory 
 The money supplied I do not spend on anything 
Neither is the money for my consummation 
I am provided to give them coaching and means cum merit scholarship 
Rest of the money is spent as dole just to make them financially sound 
As some competitors happen to be super rich 
As there could not be any contest 
Between poor and rich 
Between strong and weak 
Neither could be any race between taller and who is short 
This is very unfair rather it’s a complete lie 
To ask all to compete among the unequal 
As alone freedom and equity or equality won’t work 
So I place my bricks below the feet of them who are not having well height 
To give them equal footing, a platform of equal length and width 
Rays of the same brightness with same angel 
 Rain of the same quantity and quality 
Same barometer of the wind pressure 
If I do not forget to mention the same humidity and temperature 
To do justice to all with unbiased mind and attitude 
As mere freedom or mere equality I believe is a trick played 
By the of people who have upper hand in the society 
Next I give them some of my inspirational poems 
To have them all same level of psychological boost 
All are now on the same height 
On the same line with same length, width and breadth 
The area or angel of them is no different 
I believe to think all out and all round justice is done 
Secretly I blow the whistle 
Everyone is free to see their goal prancing like a colt 
From now on and without any obstruction 
Let them all view their finishing lines which lie over the red wall

Sabbath Schooner

A perfect Sunday, as only god can make
The skies the barometer, tend to set the mood
This day clouds…oh, so wooly white
Like sheep grazing… among the blossom blue
Sunshine’s accents must be added too

Dad, magnificent in his Sabbath greys
Mom in dress pastels pink
I and brother with our ties
Sisters in their outfits, scarlet lemon rainbow’s paint

Upon this most special day excitement begins to break
Mass now ending, bells a chiming and I think I heard an angel hark
"It’s time to sail dad’s newly fashioned model boat
Us kids led by thrills ran ahead to a pond within a park

We cheer him on… cheering!
“Go dad, go”!!
Watching, our eyes filled anticipations
As he sets her onto placid waters hoping she will float

Harmonious sighs, of wonder, escape our lips
As the canvas streamers now pervaded… capture air
Cutting… through the glistening sun filled surface
Waves of spectators rippling to pond’s edge, begin to stop and stare

I silently break and turn…
And glance upon that man
Like the mast of his vessel, stands proud
I think to myself “that’s my dad”

Then, suddenly thoughts be broken
By clatters and whispers of new heard commotions
On his face a frown begins to grow, as I looked towards the lake
Taken was the wind right, out of his sails…and it lay in the midst of the pool… devoid of
any motion

Disenchantment surely to be had
Spreading through crowds that were growing thin
But, the unexpected, was what happened next
In his Sunday best, my dad… he walked right in!

My whole family now, especially mom
Utterly and completely aghast!
Little brother shouting! “Go, dad, go”!
The crowd returned, the water rising to his chest

Roars of encouragement and rounds of applause
As waterlines reached engulfing his neck
The childhood memory forever stained into my head
Was of dad splashing out… soaking wet!
The schooner under one arm, his contagious laughter to us spread
His Sabbath grey suit was now absolutely wrecked!

Like I said...
It was a perfect Sunday…
In the eyes of this little boy

Premium Member Monday Is the Feeling Barometer

How do you feel about Mondays? The ultimate best psychiatrist would ask if he cared.
Not about your mother, or your childhood, ridiculous lovers, or feelings never shared.
Monday feelings are the top dog meter, to discover if you are living life as you.
Do you leap out of bed, ready and happy, or do you clobber your alarm clock with your shoe?

If you cannot wait to put on your clothes, throw open the shudders and do the happy dance,
If Mondays makes you smile, giggle, and laugh, possibly skip, hop, twirl, whirl, or prance,
If your heart leaps up with gladness, because you consistently get to be the-real-true-blue-you.
It is possible that you are doing what makes your heart and soul brand new,

If Mondays cause you to feel more joyful and smile bigger than every other day of the week,
If Mondays bring more hope and cheer than any other day, and make you want to sail, fly, jump and leap.
If Mondays are the best days, the ones you look forward to with the most gigantically good feelings of all,
It may be that you are living your life as a human being, fulfilling other’s buckets, so tall.

Yes Monday feelings are the top dog meter, to find out if you are living your soul’s heart dream.
The lessons you begged for when you left those cheering angels, who sent you down the heaven stream.
If your Monday feelings are not like this, the good news is, it is never too late.
Run away from the job you are doing now; clear away the slate.
Monday is the most fabulous barometer, loud and true.
You are the only one who knows if you are living life as the real honest you.

Premium Member Decomposing Love

Can you truly love a rock,
you've never directly seen or touched,
or some other relatively inanimate object,
like a steel wall,
or ego-centrism?

If so, then how is your "love"
different from a whimsical "appreciate you"?

If not, then what is different between your "love"
and your "co-passions"?
Compassion,
passion with and toward,
but not passionate energy returned from Other 
necessarily,
or, Yes! Necessarily!?

How do you know your love is also co-passion,
reiterated and returned,
however un-equivalently expressed it may be?
Is this not a matter of positive faith,
of unconditional co-invested hope?
That boundary-free time 
between Other's stimulus 
and your response,
before and after,
subjective anticipating felt objectives,
identity refined through co-relationship,
in an environ-mental healthy cause that is,
by effective default,
setting aside mutual immunity barriers,
to more courageously and opportunistically co-habitate,
curiously co-integrate,
co-passioning environ-mental love

Rather than fear, anger, anxiety, apathy,
all dissonance settings of negatively felt default,
oppressive to self,
suppressive of Other's natural integrity

Tipping pointed barometer
of active curiosity
toward positive values of win/win strategic opportunity

Edging out double-binding 
mind/body
spirit/nature 
ego/eco
Self/Other disvalues 
of two passively negative non-risk takers,
hoarding against a co-passionate future
more contentedly resilient 
than a contentious ally 
of death-defying 
Me v We
Yang v Yin
+PolyNomial v -(-PolyPathic) hopeless despair,
unpaired negativity.

Prints

Prints



Voice print, finger print, DNA, foot print, bomb print, 

Computer print, cloth print.  Fossil prints, animal print.  

Print for a dent. 

Everything can be identified.  

Denture print, teeth print, money print, tire print.

There is nowhere to hide.  

We have DNA for a whale 

and even for those guys locked up in jail.



Body print in an MRI and an x-ray.  There is even a print of the day.

Low 30s, high 50s, barometer temperature, stars light years away.

There is a photo in the computer of this day.    

There is an eye scan.  

Everything different for billions of people all over the land.  

Each one of us have different finger prints in our hand.



Crime done in 1954, the culprit can’t be hidden any more.

Cops, FBI, forensic reach back in the past

And find you at last.

They do a time line, connect the dots and you end up locked up 

Behind the jailhouse door.

Do your deed and dare to bleed

You won’t have the speed

To go far 

Before they know who you are.



FBI, local PD and security 

will connect the evidence to your identity.

The camera at the corner in the night

Took your picture as you ran by.  

Brings your crime to broad daylight.

You couldn’t outrun the speed of the shutter eye.

The camera is the witness so don’t you lie.



Prints follow us wherever we go.

DNA and prints we leave behind

Both has been with us since the

Beginning of time.

Weather Forecast

The outlook for the coming week
Socially hot with a wave of heat
Love is fair, fine with expected sun
Finances however overcast but rain there's none
Health this week foggy with low lying cloud
The weekend expect lightning and thunder that's loud
The extended outlook it's fair to say
Varies by the season, month and day
Summer this year to love brings doubt
Hot, dry and dusty, somewhat of a drought
Socially you'll reach maximum temp
Tropical storms are likely and they're meant
Finances look bright, calm and clear
But health may be blustery with arctic air
The months in spring a likely rainbow
Socially you're tired as cloud lies low
Love could be foggy and a likely frost
Poor visibility brings financial loss
The barometer gives an accurate measure 
Health is suffering from high pressure
Winter expect blizzards and snow
Socially too cold you won't want to go
Love has a warning gale force wind
Finances will continue in a cyclonic spin
Health can expect the bitterly cold
Snowstorms and snowflakes you just want to hold
Autumn the climate sure does change
Socially there are twisters that'll rearrange
Love can bring a storm of dust
Beware of this as it's just lust
Finances they may just evaporate
This warning however has no date
Intermittent rain describes your health
But the forecast predicts just be yourself!

Atmospheric Pressure

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE

Atmospheric pressure’s training school
Anonymous board, equipped with fine tool
Teaches silently to everyone who under it sit
To handle pressure and still stay calm with it!

The massive ships bear it through the journey
The caulker, to make ships bear it, makes them sturdy
The little boy on the beach happily flies his kite
The balloons are zealous to make their flight

It gets low to create depressions
To manifest as cyclonic expressions
A robust training to tackle the uncertain 
To stay strong and prepared with safety curtain!

When the barometer reads its level high
Weather is calm with a clear sky!
A message sent here is to stay clear of mind
When Situations are stressed and things unkind!

It turns its charming wand to bring rainy shower 
And moisten the earth to clad it in verdant cover
In weather and climate changes, it has its major clout
To sustain every life here ,its role is immense no doubt
 
On Olives, Otters, Owls, birches
On Horses, Humans, Hoopoes on Perches
It acts on all evenly under the Sun
A lesson to stay impartial and just sparing none!
