I Love Forgiveness

 It begins at home
even closer: it begins "I"nside
I have forgiven failures, failing in faith, inside me
Have you? Until you do, it is almost too hard
To forgive your imperfect parent, and therefore Father-in-Heaven
Lest it seems, I speak ordinary, old, old-fashioned sermon or speech
"Remember Mandela, South Africa, TRC? I was there!"
While billions only speak it, I have to live it
I did not want to; Mandela (OUR BELOVED MADIBA) made it policy
In the bad old South Africa, poisoned by a white Minority, 300 years
Still wanting NOT to share anything today; but we must for ourselves
And for Jesus (or for Mandela, or for Gandhi: both graced South Africa)

Yes, I have grown to love Forgiveness and Reconciliation in my heart
There it must begin, or it cannot come out into this bloody world
From the blood pump inside you, pure Jesus lineage can overflow
Once the mind and heart come into agreement, concord, one accord
(That's what happened at the Pentecost that birthed Christ's Church -
When the disciples, dreading death after Jesus's Crucifixion, locked doors
In the Upper Room, in Jerusalem, tarrying still: Fire in Holy Spirit fell!)
The Holy Spirit tells me to love like Jesus and Mother Theresa (now Saint)
Love till it hurts (and once hurt like that, NOTHING will ever hurt you & me)
I forgive because I see the forgiveness of Jesus (What does it mean? Sins?)
LOVE may begin in sin; but it flies with eagle wings, near the SON, forgiven
We reconcile with the Parent Above; who is really everywhere, doctrines do
not tell us all, only a start: God loved and offered reconciliation, but Truth
Demands we confess: I was a dirty, dastardly sinner, until He washed me
In the pure, precious blood of a Perfect Man, High-Priest after Melchizadek

So, dear brother and sister, I do not list sins to make you mad
That is only to assure YOU the Jesus way: Confess, Receive Grace, Live Free
TRC in RSA: TRUTH and Reconciliation (& Commission Under Archbishop Tutu)
Said anyone, white or black, who confessed their murders and sins
Would not be taken to court; only one was (Wouter Basson)
A whole nation forgave the white Minority under Mandela's mighty mandate
To Love and forgive like Jesus, for BIGGER things: like saving a country
From the kind of civil wars that rage on and on, fed by hate, all about US

Only Human

This won't be a pretty picture, but I'm going to use this paper to put my art on
I'm not heartless, let me show you where my heart's gone
Should I be ashamed? Should I hide my scars?
Some were gave to me, others inflicted from self-harm
The weight of the world on my shoulders, is easy to carry compared to the pain in my heart
I fell so many times and had no one helping me up
How could I be alone when I have depression telling me I suck
I wanted to get close to you Chantal, but depression was right there
It made me push away my dream girl and continued to be my nightmare
Age 13 I lost my virginity to a girl called Meg
I grew up quicker than I should have
I wonder if she ever thinks of me? Do I pop into her head?
It wasn't her first time, so I doubt it was as special for her
If she reads this, I hope I can make her feel special with words
There I go, Putting out stuff about me the world doesn't need to know
I'm probably wrong for putting my heart on display when I write this
I just hope people who give this a read will grow
Even if they judge me, I don't think I can hide this
I battle suicidal thoughts daily, so a lot of people consider me weak
I can rhyme my pain perfectly, but I'm unable to deliver a speech
When my ex cheated, was the guy richer than me?
Was he bigger than me?
I don't need to know, tell the bartender it's a hard liquor for me
All of my mistakes came with a lesson attached
I've never touched drugs, even though my brother and sister are injecting smack
Who am I to judge, when I used to pick up blades and made myself start bleeding
Depression makes me tired, anxiety prevents me from sleeping
I was bullied at school and made to feel worthless
I can't be a good poet, because I don't know how to word it
Got told I shouldn't love hip hop cause I'm a white dude
You don't have the right to listen to Rakim, Nas, Big Pun and Ice Cube
I was confused as to why they cared so much about what's playing in my earphones
Dealing with my fears alone
Bipolar so a lot of people label me weird
Sometimes I wish I wasn't able to hear
I find it hard to open up to new people who come close
I hide my feelings to the best of my ability from people I know
I'm only human, I hope you can learn from my mistakes
This is my real life pain, but to you its just words on a page

The Homeless Two

Two children walking down the street.
Seven or eight years old, the most that they could be.
Looking through the garbage for something to eat.
They found a half eaten hamburger that was thrown away
This treat would make their day.
They broke it in half , and together they ate
But they had to hurry for it was getting late.
Sooner older kids would be around and they
Knew that they would have to scramble and fight
For every morsel and every bite.
They hurried through the garbage 
to see what else they could find.
Then they would have to run and hide.
The older kids would always bully the young
For on the streets this is how it is done.
They found a cup which still had soda and ice
And a small bags of fries
and with that they could get by.

They ran to an abandoned building where they slept
This is where they sat and wept
On a dirty torn mattress, and rags to use as a pillow.
And the sounds of rats in the rafters.
They huddled next to each other, and they began to pray.
This is what their mother showed them before she passed away.
They didn’t have any relatives that they knew of
But they prayed to the one above
For his guidance and his love.
Oh GOD ! We are your children, why do we suffer so?
My sister and I have done nothing wrong.
This is not where we belong.
Mom told us that you watch over all your children
And all we see is poverty and misery.
The older children know how to survive
But we are younger, and we’ll continue to try.
I saw a church just the other day
Which isn’t too far away.
Children playing and having fun
In the sprinklers and away from the sun.
Why can’t we be there?
Maybe some of the toys with us they could share.
This is my prayer for my sister and I
On these streets we do not want to die.

Their prayer had been answered on the same day
When a preacher who had been passing by that way.
 He took them in and Fed them, cleansed them
 and gave them clothes to wear 
And with the other children some toys to share

The brother and sister went to the church
And got down on their knees , and thanked
Their mother who had given them hope
When there was none to be found.
And for telling them that GOD is always near
And listens to every word and every prayer.

HOPE IS THE KEY IF YOU WANT TO BE FREE.

Glory

How glorious is Love ?
How magnificent it's depth ? 
How bright are it's visions ?
How true are it's directions ?
What can compare to it's shear delight ?
Where walking in it's sight
gives clarity to every living thing .
How bold are it's promises ?
It's paths hold wonder 
for every step taken upon it.
Vibrancy is it's assignation.
It beacons the heart ,
and whispers treasures in it's future.
It speaks of grand designs 
and builds it's dreams
into realities here to fore unknown.
In it the soul with happiness is filled .
Men have penned it's words
sang it's songs
and dreamed it's dreams .
It is desired above all other things . 
It's breadth is exquisite 
and vast are the many who
would sell all , to possess it
only to find it cannot be purchased .
It is a gift given freely 
it cannot be coerced 
No building can house it 
You cannot cage it 
It has no chains that can bind it
no prison can hold it , 
but within are  the floodgates of 
of heaven that waters all of life .
It is a fire that burns
all lies to ash
that purifies all intentions
and refines , polishes , and reflects truth .
Men have sought it's face
in every crack of his existence .
Men have apprenticed at it's feet
journey-manned in it's instruction
but few have mastered it 
and certainly only one has become it's Grand-Master .
But we run to reach for it's crown
we strive to bow our wills before it
to learn it  , receive it
then release it and set it free .
This the Rulers of this world 
would steal if they could  !

1 John 4
16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen,cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.

Premium Member Losing My Best Friend

When you first get your dog there is a wonderful joy, like he is one
of your own children. You go through a get to know each other period
and a Special bond is developed, with you and him.
 You soon grow to love one another. He is part of the family, he is there 
to love you when you get home from work, and there to say goodnight
before you go to bed.
 There is a bonding and interaction that develops affectionately between
everyone in the family and your beloved dog. He is the king of the house.
 My brother Gus, his wife Elena, son Brandon, and daughter Briana can
attest to these words. My brother decided to answer a dog ad for a Pug.
 When he got there he realized he had a sister and he decided to bring
her along too. Not wanting to separate a brother and sister.
 The boy was named Jeter after the Yankees player and the girl Lucy 
after Lucille Ball. This is their story.

 Jeter and Lucy were Pugs that were inseparable.
 You can say that they were very attached and compatible.
  Everywhere Jeter went Lucy followed.
  One day they got loose and got in a bit of trouble.
  The family spent hours looking for them.
  They were found down the street, both with a Cheshire grin.
  Both were brought home and no treats for a week.
  That didn't last long, they begged and got their treat.
  If Lucy got a treat Jeter, would ask, what about me?
  They were quite the team, full of drama and comedy.
  These two spent many years enjoying each other's company.
   Some lovable moments and some very funny.
  The joy they brought to the family, will forever live on.
   As their beloved Jeter today Sadly moved On.
   Lucy was there till Jeter's final Breaths.
   She knew because she cried at the time of his death.
   She then moved and laid her head on him.
   With much love, whispered, "Jeter some day, I will see you Again."
   Gus and Elena filmed her farewell.
   As their Heartfelt emotions, were saddened and deeply felt.
   Tonight will be Lucys first night without Her brother.
   We pray that in time Lucy recovers...

              Jeter will live on in Our Hearts
               and minds. He will never be
                forgotten says: Lucy, Gus, 
                Elena, Brandon and Briana.

How I Felt Before My Mom Got Well

I have not seen my mother in a while.
I have these dreams where she comes back.
when she comes back it feels as if I'm in a fairy tale.
It's like there can be no wrong.
It's as if God made us perfect.
All I lost I found.
The sun rose over the empty sky and made where there was a forever lasting 
cold night a warm bright day.
An emotional nuclear bomb wiped out all hate. Breaking down the barriers of 
insecurity to bring out the harbored bitterness stored deep inside releasing all 
feelings, and there was nothing but understanding and love left.
All this happened the day she came back.
Then i woke from my dream to my nightmare, and I realized what i felt was like a 
fairy tale was just that a tale. 
When I woke: I could find no right, but wrong was all around.
When I woke: I was no longer in Gods world of perfection, yet I found myself in 
the devils world of corruption.
When I woke: There was no sun to bring day just cold darkness in the sky of the 
everlasting night.
When I woke: There were many unspoken words, bottled up feelings, and 
bitterness stored deep in the middle of my soul.
Even when I was awake she came back, but she didn’t stay and every time i 
waited for her when she left.
When she did come back i pleaded with her to take care of my brother and sister. 
I let her know we needed her guidance, wisdom, love, and compassion.
I weep every time she leaves, but it seems she shows no sympathy toward these 
needs or me because she yet keeps leaving.
I get angry so angry I feel my mother is some what of a black widow, but the 
sorrow she caused me and my sister and brother. I would sometimes call her 
Queen of Black Widows.
She earns this title by loving and caring for you where you can’t live without her. 
When I sleep i have dreams about her. Then she leaves and you can’t stop 
thinking about her. It overwhelms me so much I can’t breathe without her. It feels 
as if you die inside slowly leaving nothing but sorrow so all I can do is cry. 
I would go on but there’s nothing else to tell , so i wait till she comes back if she 
has not died i hope she took my advice and gave her life to god so she wont go 
to hell.
This is how I felt before my mom got well.

Resisting The Repressing

Resisting The Repression

Competition between a brother and sister
Rendition of an eighties song all about how much he miss her 
War of attrition between two countries facing off without a resister
Ambition of an Olympian to only on race day end up with a blister

Loneliness creeping in before twightlight starts to break and linger 
Ghostliness of a past love coming back like a harbinger 
Cosiness of a warmth so engrained it lasts throughout the winter 
Holiness of a man ordained with the essence of God in his little finger 

Warning all who sit in comfort to stretch out beyond their horizons
Forming all the combinations but still required to sleep with the lights on 
Storming through the degradation of more arguments to be right on 
Mourning the loss of innocence as I’m forced to find a corner with which to fight from 

Objectification of a woman by a powerful CEO 
Rectification of a statement that would never have passed “go”
Unification of a people who they never wanted to know 
Stupefaction of a system that is only there for show 

Culmination of a problem as we sit behind screens in isolation 
Rumination of a mind inclined to introspective observations
Declaration of a manifesto by a twisted mass shooter caught before the devastation 
Aberration of the justice system as the innocent go without advocation

Sociopolitical violence everywhere you hate to look
Hypercritical eyes inside my silence as they analyse a new controversial book 
Parasitical environmental activists looking for the next media stunt to hook 
Neurotypical minds that are inclined to complain and then to sook

Elimination of the pain that resides in each passing new moment 
Annotation of the grammar as I consider the next component 
Liberation of a race that has lived under the rule of a tyrant 
Consideration of all the elements predicting the next inquirement 

Lamentation of the time that’s passed while reluctantly convalescing 
Fragmentation of a life that’s lost while psychologically regressing 
Cancellation of a genius comedian speaking the truth just like confessing 
Aberration at this cultural shift as I I’ll be resisting all this repressing

Premium Member Muddy Water's Gramma Gave Us Licorice

Muddy Water's Gramma gave us licorice

I walked the old Kenwood neighborhood with my twin little brother and sister in tow,
'hold there hands and look both ways before you cross the street'
No use trying to talk my way out, knew it was the only way mom would let me go. 

October's new moon, peaked in and out of passing clouds,
leaving the night gloomy in stygian darkness.
Faces painted, carrying our paper bags, dressed in raggedy linen pillow case shrouds.  

Low sad sound of a guitar's slow lick, pitch in open E,  played a few doors down,
accompanied by a soulful song sung:

'Well, my mother told my father,
just before hmmm, I was born,
"I got a boy child's comin,
He's gonna be, he's gonna be a rollin stone,
Sure 'nough, he's a rollin stone..'

I knocked on the door, our shrilled chorus trio called out Trick or Treater's round,
Clutching a Bible in her hands 'to ward off evil spirits'.
Gramma Della turned on the porch-light, framed in screened doorway,
emitting a joyous whooping sort of laugh, invited the three of us in. 

The bright-eyed man sat at the kitchen table, looking up from his guitar emblazoned in Formica reflected glory.
In the corner, a pretty girl, dressed as Cinderella, sat cross-legged on the floor..
with what looked like a million dollars worth of candy.
   
 Muddy, who had ceased his song at our knock, nodded our way. 
With curious smile that was both happy and sad, in smooth, measured voice said   
'Oh don't you look a fright'.

Della handed out licorice that year, the same as all the years we once knew.
But what us kids remember best, and last, the man who sung & played the Catfish Blues.
 
What I didn't learn 'til later, a picture placed in Muddy's view of the living room.  
Little Walter, with his harmonica cupped in hands, 
who died just a year earlier, a day after Valentine's moon.  

Inspired by McKinley Morganfield and his Grandmother Della Jones       
   
You get a heck of a sound from the church. Can't you hear it in my voice?                  -Muddy Waters

Premium Member The Smile of God-

Whereas if it is meant to be 
Can we see God's Holy face
 is it in his pleasantry die
It reaches far from beyond
 mileage bigger than the sun 
And how do we know the righteousness 
Of his grace 
And will we ever see His fourth in his face 
Am I to be reckoned with 
Up to no despair does God love me 
Does He even care
 He gave His gift to us 
No one on this Earth 
Loves and such as God He smiles on 
On those, the children both stay in and save 
The Saints and the Sinners all reluctantly play 
They forget where they came from
They look up into the sky 
And ask the questions why 
Rebuttal refers to refused own delusion,
Confusion 
What is it that they are in the light 
The case is also seen in the dark; there's a brightness 
There's a flame that's burning in the bush in the rain 
God smile. Did I make a game of you buy any of them home 
I sent unto you God smile 
Rain down on you beloved, beloved 
You are loved 
And your dirt and your sin you ate always forgiven 
But don't, don't hesitate 
Don't let it be too late relegated see beloved He loves you 
So He has a smile bigger significant the ocean 
Got smile and want to come to Visions the revelations of the Lord 
a man in Jesus Christ you cannot tell 
Whether it be in body Spirit call God rain 
God in man was man 
Jesus smile, and how do I relish the idea think He would make a man die for me 
Does God smile when I take a life 
Does God smile when I mistreat my wife 
Does God smile when I see the impoverished in pain 
does not smile when I leave the elderly distraught in the rain? 
Does God smile when I have a dollar, and I don't give it to the panhandler on the corner.
Does God smile when I abruptly misuse my brother and sister
 for my devices? 
Does God smile when I am evil because God smiles 
when I am dismayed, and I played with the emotions of those its trade 
Does God smile? Who knows the answer
You know the right solution
 I won't be in the light of God from day 
on the side the good side, when God smiles 
You are in Him again, and Amen
