Dr King

Have you ever started at the bottom 
And was wondering how you will make it to the top 
You couldnt see it 
Your vision blurred 
Seems like all your obstacles occurred 
What did you do 
You faced them 
Dr King had a dream 
He said chase them
So you stop sitting 
And there was no quitting
A whole lot of go getting 
No longer in silence 
Let your voice be heard 
You can fly 
Be the courageous bird 
Dont give up 
You can do it 
Just put your mind to it 
He chose love 
Somehow lots still choose hate 
How can you relate 
We should build each other up 
If its to much 
Lessen the cup 
Know what you are worth 
Sometimes it takes alot 
To turn the other cheek 
Dont get it twisted dosent make you weak 
It makes you courageous 
No matter the stages 
"The ultimate measure of a man
Is not always where he stands"
Dr King knew the plan 
He spoke his truth 
He did it for all of us
Tried to protect the elderly and the youth 
 He didnt choose violence or silence 
He chose to stamp it and had the world behind it 
He left his mark and his legacy 
He left room for unity , equality ,he left room for apologies 
He left room for you to right your wrongs 
He left room for us to overcome 
And to become one
One nation,  one sound 
Tilt your head put on your crown 
Left visions 
Made decisions 
Exercised our rights
He didnt want to dim our lights 
We are smart,  we do our part 
You see he never saw color 
He saw the characteristics 
We can Change the world 
Come on let's fix it 
Never give up on your dreams 
Turn them into a reality 
Thank you Dr King

Eternal

One day 
When we all thought Saturday was a depiction of the sky raining with birds..., singing.. 
Blue as the day comes with heat..., ready to call itself a sunny day 
My loved one received a call...
Her father has just passed on
A phone call that changed the flavored air that was in the room that had bottled up oxygen made up from the amount of deep breaths taken by the thought of perfecting a goodbye 
One day..., One of us...,will cover the cost of a funeral with more than just groceries and R200 airtime
My love...,
there could never be forever's here, So you will have to hang up..
God is on the other side of the speed dial
I have never lost a parent before.. 
All my life I have watched those who are near and dear to me trade a touch for memory 
So Dear Mother 
Before you pass on I will marry this woman
and together we will spread and stretch the branches of our arms to keep her warm
I will believe in rituals, I will believe in the forever part
I will believe in the story of two souls conjoined in one body...,
you will live in her eyes 
Dear Father 
our timeliness do not have eternity printed at the back of the book, so I am coming Home, the smell from a dish death prepared for us has made its way to my kitchen 
The ingredients are of accepting life as a flash of the moment
I am hungry
Dear Mom and Dad 
I will be a walking monument of the characteristics of your morals and values 
before you pass on...
Please answer the phone
Dear Parents 
I love you

Premium Member Scattered Dreams

There are dreams, other dreams, and there are nightmares.                                                                                                                Dreams really do have something to say, and if able to capture                  them upon awakening, we are well served by them. There are dreams         from God* whereby He is speaking to us, and there are other dreams 
in which vagueness covers their message. Oh, did I mention there were dreams that turn into nightmares?  Anyway, that's another subject for    another time, but blessed of God and wiser by far are those who know and understand the difference.  For example, I will often dream and forget the dream or a dream is too cloudy and scrambled. And then, there are dreams that one cannot forget and will not go without attention.  I had a dream last night that was short and to the point envolving a person that seemed out of character, and the portrayal of that person in the dream was very defined    and real. In this case, I suspect the message in the dream is not so much about the person as about the characteristics displayed which points to  matters of importance in the lives of everyone. In these types of dreams,        I try to discern what The Lord might be showing me and for what purpose.     In this dream, I concluded that God was saying, "Take note and see to it that you beware and avoid the following":  Avoid being Distant, Disconnected, Distracted, and Detached; Avoid being Rushed; Avoid being Indirect, Indifferent, and Irritable; Avoid being unstilled, unsteady, and unfocused.  Such flaws permeated the person in my dream. It appears that God was   using a dream to remind me to be unlike the person I saw in my dream. Indeed, God often speaks in mysterious ways.

Premium Member -Strange Traits

We all have idiosyncrasies 
Strange traits, funny quirks
Creating unique individuals
For each of us our eccentricities work!

Our personal characteristics
So necessary to who we are
Others may think them strange
But we do them ,no matter how bizarre !!

I thought it would be good to share 
So I will tell you mine
Just two of my many strange quirks
Please leave  all judgements behind!!!

No matter whether it’s hot or freezing cold
Every night when I am in bed
I need to have a fan on full blast
Blowing cold air on my head!?

I  cannot drink a full hot cuppa
I “have” to leave nearly half the drink
The thought of actually drinking the rest
Makes me physically sick …..a mental thing I think!!?

Please feel free to share your strange traits with me
No matter how extreme
The only thing I ask of you
Is please just keep it clean!!!

Premium Member Love Is Alive

Love is alive, living on the inside
A gift of the spirit from Jesus Christ
Love is alive, and it won’t misguide
Because of this Savior who sacrificed

Love is alive, always sharing kindness
Only one of its vibrant characteristics
Love is alive, a feeling that is priceless
Exceeding the delight in all the statistics

Love is alive, never expressing any envy
It fills up the heart with goodwill and favor
Love is alive, providing intimacy in plenty
Revealing a way to taste love’s subtle savor

Love is alive, seeking the best for others
Never pursuing its own selfish purposes
Love is alive, looking out for its brothers
Hoping to give generously of its services

Love is alive, always avoiding what is evil
Reaching out with good intentions, caring
Love is alive, watching out for an upheaval
Giving itself from the heart with no sparing

Love is alive, rejoicing in all that is truth
Bearing all that comes to destroy its joy
Love is alive, discovering ways to sooth
Wise and charming just like a little boy

Love is alive, believing every heart’s hope
Reassuring the spirit with genuine sensitivity
Love is alive, enduring so that we can cope
Inspiring the deepest feelings of creativity

Love is alive, never failing to give of itself
Like a whisper of compassion and altruism
Love is alive, forever improving oneself
With a sense of appreciation and optimism

Love is alive, living on the inside
A gift of the spirit from Jesus Christ
Love is alive, and it won’t misguide
Because of this Savior who sacrificed

Magnificent Frigate Bird

I am a slender looking sea bird having forked tails,
long hooked bills and a white under belly. 
My genus is marked by sexual dimorphism.
My mate tries to do so many wonderful things so that 
I would fall for him.Likewise,wonderful courtship display allows me to do a perfect selection and hang on to an everlasting relationship.
Possessing fantabulous stamina and striking feature~
he inflates his red gular throat pouches like heart shape,kept drumming love call untill I became impressed.
Each male took turn to out do each other ..
But, I loved him at first sight attracted to his musical performance.Aah..he looked magnificent with puffed chest.Shortly we engaged.He gave me a cozy nest to rest.
We, at times perch on tree tops at night for romance.
Being aerial ~he soars throughout the day
hunting for food and late night he comes to me.
Essentially categorised as kleptoparasite ~either we catch other birds or snatch food from their savings.
Swooping down to feed on squid and fish he is often attacked by our predators tuna or dolphins and chased to the surface.
I worry for him untill he is back home.Once he's back we enjoy, care & fulfill each of our desires.
Laying single egg, each year we relish the experience of parenthood every breeding season.

Disclaimer: Sexual dimorphism is the condition where the two sexes of the same species exhibit different characteristics beyond the differences in their sexual organs.The condition occurs in many animals & some plants too.Differences may include secondary sex characteristics, size, weight, colour, markings, and may also include behavioral & cognitive differences.

Conversation 1

"If I knew...Because I heard this song, I'm in tears. For no reason."

"It's not for nothing, it just makes me also."

"By the way, not long ago, a sick black young man was assaulted by the same black cops. The black cops were not black. They must have killed more brutally than the other races. No doubt...When I passed by too, looking at all of my race, I think there are times when I hate them more than any other people and I am ignoring. Hatred doesn't come from skin color or any external heterogeneity. It seems that homogeneity cannot prevent it. It exists deeper than ethnic characteristics or sharing. I also thought that it comes from the hidden consciousness of (original sin) in humans. How to deal with that? It is an important responsibility for artists... It seems that what we see and what we have is not everything. (A pig satisfied and dissatisfied Socrates)"

"Because the animal called human is ultimately too fragile, it seems that in addition to friendly feelings for people of the same kind as them, the opposite tendencies are just as great...I think humans are the most insignificant creatures.."

"It does. Whether it is misfortune or happiness to know that... I'm going to eat dried Pollack soup now. I hope you too have a pleasant dinner time. Goodbye, my president, my bulletin board."

"Whatever it is, having dinner with warm dried pollack soup is happiness."

"What are you eating at evening, Chairman?"

"I don't know yet. Either way, this should make for a happy hour."

"..... If you're next to me, I could go to a bakery together. I often go to the Bakery... I remember going to a bakery 40 years ago and each of us ate a donas, a twist, a fish cake, and a cigarette for my bad friends."

"laughing......."

"Maybe the bakery owner loved us then. Because he kicked us out to go to school."

wall of shame

I`m not racist.....but
words that:
inflame.
words that:
causes pain.
words that rises anger inside-
and all that is left is,
shame.

deluded are those,
who think it means nothing-
and saying those words
doesn't hurt one who looks different-
but that some-one is the same inside-
 as you and me.

because;
they might have a different outlook
because;
they might have a different view
does it mean can we look down on them?
because;
we are dealt a better hand-
does it mean we are better than them?

-if we are cut, don`t we all bleed?

living life in blinded fear,
 you try to justify your words
but- 
those words,
just condemn.

behind your patriotism lurks the dark,
and the darkness swallows the rainbow.
your ears, hear words -
they only want to hear.
 and monocolour, the only colour- 
your eyes want to see.
 the fact`s clouds your single mind
and you selfishly want your idea of a utopian world.
It's a place where people are judged on their
physical characteristics-
and not their mental ideology.
a place that has no trespassing if your
red, yellow, black or brown.

so let us erect a wall
a wall that blocks out reality
a wall that silently say`s
"this wall is built upon hate and ignorance"
in a place that says "you're not as good as me
 so you're not welcomed"
a place that judges colour superiority
and only those that win can come in.
you say that wall is to protect us from them
but it protects who from what?
that's the big million dollar question

Premium Member God's Benediction -2 Corinthians 13: 14

The Lord Jesus Christ brings His merciful grace
this grace of God is gifted and free upon all
God's righteousness at Christ's expense no less
for guilty sinners so they need not ultimately fall

God has many characteristics as our father
showing His great love so eternally full
this is displayed in Christ's sacrificial obedience
dying for sin this saviour our blessed jewel

The holy spirit comes down in sweet communion
to fill us with His spirit so evidently pure
this is a blessed privilege only for selected few
to know God in spirit convinced to be sure

This is God's benediction so fully complete
coming upon his people such are blessed
what majesty displayed in all His attributes
now to be still and enjoy His eternal rest

(The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.)
2 Corinthians 13: 14 (ESV)
