We were on cruise control till the toll was paid
I saw many signs along the way which turned my head
Lonsome Springs of water where I almost drowned
Bridge on the River Kwai where I was imprisoned by you
Virginia is for lovers but we took the ferry the long way round
The Statue Of Liberty waved till I paid the fare
Cape May we go get drunk and did
In the Cityof Brotherly Love there was none to my torment
The car needed a tune up and I sang our song
And you sang out of tune and I forgot the verses
But ,"Momma I'm Coming Home."
PS : I used books, titles,stories and situations of my life for visuals and Ozzy's song, " Momma I'm Coming Home
When I woke up today
I didn’t forget to pray
When I walked out of the door
I kissed my loved ones once more
When I saw my foes, I said “hi!” anyway
They replied “ there she goes , no care in the world, silly girl!”
The bum on the corner appreciated my quarter
As I went into the deli for the daily news
Then I went around the block at a neighbor’s house I stopped
And gave her daughter a pair of brand new shoes
Next, I visited my friends that I haven’t seen in awhile
Some of them got married
Others had a child
I called old boyfriends and forgave them one by one
And spoke of past relationships like
“it’s been real, it’s been fun”
I went to my old jobs, the ones that I quit
And the ones that had me fired
My approach was so suave, I could’ve gotten rehired
I called everyone that I owed and promised that
I’d stop hiding
And to make it more official, I put it all in writing
I called my dad whom I haven’t seen in years
And told him I missed him dearly
And fought back tears
I went to the graves of the dearly departed
And said a prayer that even the dead could hear
The lost lives of so many left me brokenhearted
But, I promised to meet them in the air
Alas, I went to a hospital and gave
The sick my love
All these things I did today
I am surely out of breath
For all these years I wasted away
Brings me closer to death
I have made amends and pampered my friends
I love each stranger in a brotherly way
I should love and let love live
Keep a little and the rest I give
For I never know if it is my last day
Of all the ships I've seen, heard of, or read about;
Of all the ships that have ever braved the oceans and high seas;
Of all the ships that have traversed the rivers and lakes of the planet;
Of all the ships that have broken through the icy-melts of glaciers;
Or survived the beatings and torments of angry and raging storms;
Whether it was the infamous Mayflower that landed on Cape Cod,
delivering the pilgrim settlers of America; Or the great cruisers that
dock the beautiful shores of the Caribbean. There are great ships that
come and go and from time to time, even the likes of the Titanic. The one thing that they all have in common is that they all will sink. But I tell you, there is no ship that holds dearer nor steadier than a real friendship. There is no ship whether past, present, or future that can ever compare and compete with the ship called 'The Friendship'. There is none more brotherly nor so sisterly, so dear, faithful, and loyal as the beloved 'Friendship'.
I have noted with deep concern that recently you have lost some very dear friends*. My dear friend, I am praying for you that The Lord will comfort you in your great loss.
A friend.

Underworld, of changelings,
where shadows loom,
There lies a world, vitrified, consumed,
Its surface hardened, a relic of alchelimes,
a testament to sorrow, frozen in language
warning signs.
Once a haven of life, brimming with dreams,
now encased in glass, a tragic plightstoscene.
Whispers of laughter, now silenced,
veiled by the icy grip,
by memories assailed upon it's sardonic lips
North, stood a river, flowing,
purely succumbing to the liquid cascade of dreams.
Now stands a monument,
empty and obscure,
a sewage treatment plant of fear
and conspiracy, not theory,
but excremeofsupremacy
of Triremes of war eclipsing peace and prosperity.
A mosaic of black emotion, punishment's devotions.
Change resides in this vitrified tomb,
like fangled shards
of black mirror cutting Bards and Poets in handling, reflecting from corpused firmament womb, harpypsychords in accord with gloominess
and despair
etched on its face,
Obsidian tears.
The competing vision of the North-
sees a great Western deluge. A revival of the Sisterlings and the Brotherly.
Beasts roam like children in caravans
to witness mankind,
to pay homage for eyes opened,
having seen for the first time,
how things are meant to be, sublime.
Form:
(V.1) I have such delightful dreams of you
You had so much happen to you too
I wonder why sometimes in utter rue
Pursue happiness and be my other shoe
Be no longer blue…
(KAP) Because I’m done with you
I’m done with you
I’m done with you
(Chorus) I’m not rhyming rhymes for your brotherly love alone
Because I’m one with myself time and time again
The rest is unknown…maybe I can live on my own
Maybe we can have dreams come true zen times zen
(V.2) I flee away from it all…before I free-fall…
I need someone to help me out in appall
Maybe it’s a good idea that I flee
Get it over with and leave myself be…
Just be free…
(KAP) Because I’m done with you
I’m done with you
I’m done with you
(Chorus) I’m not rhyming rhymes for your brotherly love alone
Because I’m one with myself time and time again
The rest is unknown…maybe I can live on my own
Maybe we can have dreams come true zen times zen
Maybe I can be your one and only delightful dreams
Maybe I can have delightful dreams of you with adrenalin
Maybe I can see that we’re on each other’s teams…
I’m sorry I lived life with oh so many flaws from within
(V.3) Let myself be tall and call for help elsewhere
Dare to wonder? I should’ve known you were just a stare
Of wonder and maybe, one day, you’ll care…just a hair?
No…I was wrong all along in despair…you don’t care!
Because I’m done with you
I’m done with you
I’m done with you
Because I’m done with you
I’m done with you
I’m done with you
Because I’m done with you
I’m done with you
I’m done with you
(David B.) If only you knew
How much this song means to me and my niece
Brother, tonight, I’m through
With the shenanigans you did to everyone piece by piece
It’s funny what a picture can say,
When you look real deep and watch them lay,
Closer than they have ever been,
How to describe and where to begin,
The start of their destiny,
Two little angels, happy and carefree,
The oldest awake and taken it in,
His little face glistening.
For the first time he is not the only one,
Mom brought new life, another son,
In his eyes he’s proud and filled with bliss,
I am sure there is only one thing he will miss,
Getting all the attention, all of the time,
Sharing his parents love, at times won’t be fine,
But as they grow, they will have such a bond
A journey through life like two little swans
Tending to one another’s needs
But also sometimes needing the oldest to lead,
With no doubt when there in school,
the oldest one will always be cool,
If anyone ever tries to make the little one look like a fool,
He will be protected, that’s the brotherly rule,
The little one always watching and tagging along,
Looking up to his brother, who will always appear to be strong,
They may fight with each other,
But God forbid, someone messes with that little kid,
The hero role will consume the oldest child,
Fire will spark and he will become quit wild,
They will go through so many stages,
Write so many pages,
In their childhood series
It will make moms eyes teary,
As they get older the lessons they learn,
Will keep their hearts turned,
To one another forever,
no matter the weather,
No one will break that,
They cannot fake that,
It all starts with a picture and a smile,
The innocence and joy of being a child.

"But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared." Titus 3:4 of the King James Bible
Kindness* beams with triumph glow
Echoes love and not pride’s show
It shares gifts along grace-flow
Cheering someone from stress blow.
Exemplifying Christ’s care
We reach out with gladness’ dare
Helping lift others’ welfare
Offering hope midst despair.
As kindness in homes prevails
We combat hate that assails
Since trust of faithfulness hails
Leading along good works’ trails.
Intensifying kindness
Respect shines through forgiveness
Coupled with prayerfulness
Gratitude and joyfulness.
By our words of endearment
Hearts are freed from fear’s torment
Greeting-filled encouragement
Peace it grants, bliss endowment.
With kindness, we are so blest
Sowing it yields great harvest
Fulfillment gain, indeed best
Devoid of self-interest.
May God find us kind … indeed
Touching fellows with His deed
Serving to meet kindness*’ need
Sprouting from compassion seed.
"And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity." 2Peter 1:7 of the King James Bible

What if there were aliens making plans to invade and destroy planet earth? Perhaps they would rethink their strategy and observe what's coming to birth.
Perhaps they would of necessity downsize their war budget and fighting armory. From miles away they would watch our world self-destruct and bath in disharmony.
Would they marvel at the self-destruction of such a once masterful paradise? Would they wonder in utter confusion about how we dumbed down, dismissing the wise? Would they take second thoughts about defeating us after calculating such waste? The waste of resources; the waste of brotherly love; the waste of God's trust in us?
If they could cry, would they not weep for our lust for pleasure, for power, for money? If they could 'feel', would they alter their invasion plans and find a way to help us heal?
I cannot speak for aliens, but if they exist, I think that when they see all that we have squandered, mismanaged, and taken for granted; and when they hear with their own ears our hate-filled war-cries of self-destruction, they would cry rivers and oceans of tears.

UNSUPPORTED CODE
Romans Chapter 12:9-10 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
Bursting into the still cool of Wednesday,
Blessing away the hours,
In silent waves of hesitating light,
Healing Tuesday with gentle music, fulfilling
Even the shadow’s worth is lifted
Rhythms of hope, poured out on the memory,
Trembling with a peace that only the sunset
Can remember…
Pride, Vanity, Narcissism
Fade like trinkets, bound for destruction,
Overcome by the seeds of your purpose,
Born to become, born to overcome,
In sighs of faith, she whispers,
Bordering the gates of forever, the hereafter,
Abiding inside the promises,
Real healing, forgiveness, love so restful,
Speaking of the moment before He revealed
The truth, He is the everlasting peace,
He is the blending of hope and grace, He is…
Everything to me!
Speaking of Jesus – Speak to Jesus
He is the reason I can sing, praise, pray
With the assurance that life has this season
For my heart and soul, so that I might know
The wonder of a love that is beyond my control,
A love that began when He arose,
Inviting each one to the life that commenced,
When He hung from that cross – saving what was lost,
Saving us all from the darkest dark – saving us all…
We were freed by His love, His light, His life –
Laid down so we could become children of God!
He is everything and more – He is the love and hope.
He is the way to change from wrong to right,
From bad to good, from dark to light, from lost to saved,
From the past to the promise – because He was raised
From the silence of a grave, to give us the joy of His grace!
Thanks to Jesus, I’m truly saved!!!!
