Life is to be enjoyed while we learn from God Who teaches the best lesson:
Such is to love Him above all – in and out of season
To esteem Him with pure heart’s reason
Seeking His grace to transform us to be a better person.
Life is to be optimized while we understand that to fear the Lord is vital
Since doing so for wisdom-gaining is fundamental
To keep us from sin that’s perilous and fatal
Bringing us His blessings in their grand total.
Life is to be shared while we trust God’s Word which we must cherish
As our faith stands against trends that easily perish
Upheld by His truth mere opinions can’t tarnish
In His confidence He does readily furnish.
Life is to be valued while we flee from worldly influences’ destruction
Overcoming pride, flesh and vanity’s temptation
As we walk through the Spirit’s confirmation
While in His fellowship we bring to Him our petition.
Life is to be grateful for while we stay in God's will* where He is the Driver
For that’s the best choice we have as His love-receiver
We abide in Him, by His mercy, quitting never
Blooming where He has planted us to be a help-giver.
*Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Outcast
Life is good, when you are understood.
Lurking in the halls, cunning, deceit, youthful impressionists meet.
Faces of betrayal, hide behind their social vail.
Humanity can be hard to find, when you’re the one left behind.
Words crowd the room, childish wonder looms.
Lost in the translation, overwhelmed with frustration. Atypical identity, amongst the conformed, blinded by anxiety.
Anxious of the unknown, people fear what they cannot comprehend. I thought the lesson mine: learn to bend. Yet, to my dismay, the world should glance another way.
Be free, different, kind and true,
be you.
Form:
O how had I always fallen back;
With days full of retrogressions, alack!
I was degenerate;
Surely a youth of no notable rate.
My existence was like an ungodly song
With defiled rhythms was it sung
Wherewith I dreamed no dream
And saw no, not a gleam
For there was no light in me to reflect;
So my star could take no effect.
I was consumed by the darkness
Of mundane blissfulness,
Which was deceptive to inward madness.
I thought I was living happily;
Alas! I was dying virtually,
Forgetful that Life could wane out for itself alone
And hand over me to my Maker whom I never knew.
But there came an hour
At the Annual National Campus Community Congress
Of the Deeper Life campus fellowship
Entitled `Excelsior`
For bringing Life and Hope to intellectuals
And equipping them to reach the utmost height:
Where I wholly got transformed.
I was taught to be purposeful, and not lust to be conformed
I could then soar to the farthest height
And ignited became my light
Revived to live for Christ the Saviour
After which I farewelled failure.
The truth is that love is never true
It's illogical, it makes no sense
Why me? Why you?
Why us, who just happened to collide
It matters not whether we passed or failed
the tests of truthfulness or falseness
Whether we conformed to what
love is mean to be, or what others have as love or say it is.
Whether our love is accurate, reliable,
lasting, resilient or steadfast.
For the truth about love is
it's blind, incontestable, incomparable,
incorruptible, unerasable.
Love is delightfully uncertain.
For its impossible to measure or calculate
love's exact status and momentum at the same time.
Who cares anyway?
For love is just plain silly!
What does it really mean to know God?
yes God in all his perfect state
the creator and sustainer of all things
he who always has been so great
This Jesus who rose from the dead
has the power to resurrect a new order
one that reveals divinity so bright
it's fully inward never near the border
Jesus suffered so much on the cross
being obedient unto death for his own
to fellowship in his sufferings so real
we can never feel like Jesus a living stone
Consider Jesus death more than another
to be conformed to his without a breath
living in Christ bow to his will
secure in him remembering his death
O to know Jesus God's own Son
in all his mighty power not a doubt
forever and always resurrected
being fed on his ever living fount
(that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,')
Philippians 3: 10 (NKJV)
I created one type of writing in the form of a prose and a poem combined. Very similar to the Japanese version of a Haibun, only that in this type of writing I need not to set a standard of making the poem appear or sound only as haiku. One to three lines or even up to ten lines in a stanza (rhymed or unrhymed) as a poem, before or after the prose (flash story or anecdote of your interest) will do. Any form of poetry can be combined or added in or within the prose itself. I call it "Prosebite."
The prose need not to be too short nor too long, as long as the readers can comprehend the kernel or message of the prosebite.
A bite of any form of poetry and a chunk of writing in prose.
A combination of two or three (or even four) different forms of poetry can also be considered as prosebite. It is your way of expressing yourself. Your perspective matters.
Prosebite is what you write
In form of a poem-piece anywhere.
With a prose somewhere,
With or without too many rhymes to kite.
No numbering or syllabication in lines
No stricter rules to follow between the lines.
Structure is what you do in a prosebite
Create and innovate your own bite.
Hailed haiku and haibun, we conformed
The way structures were formed.
We followed standards and rules as known
But somehow we can create our own.
(Prosebite)
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; and sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Acts 2:38?-?39?, ?44?-?47 KJV
What a time this would have been
In seeing this is how God intended
In this takes the receiving of the Holy Ghost
So, why if one knew the truth would reject this.
What a beautiful world this would be
But it takes dying to the lust of worldly things
Through the Holy Ghost dwelling within
Myself, was going against God in blindness
In my time I have seen many conform
To what this world would have them be
Instead of what I see now
As what God was was molding.
To hear many say I don't fit in.
One, should rejoice if God has revealed this
For we don't want to be conformed to this world
But renewing of the mind and heart
Through the Holy Ghost conforming
Unto a Child of God
Just trying to bring awareness
Through the love of mankind
God has placed within,
One might find it hard in church
To see the love of God
But His presence within is where we seek
If one can not see it in another and gets discouraged
Shine it out for another that is seeking
God wants to live, walk and talk with us all.
But this world in a whole is rejecting
The Holy Ghost is not limited to a race
But when entering the race taught of man
Is vanished with a new love for all
We are far more alike then most see
In Christ, One Accord and Harmony
sharing in God's grace, and love, and mercy,
even in sharing in the midst of our hurting,
places us open to love deeper to see you,
watching your love move in everything we do,
breaking free can seem uncomfortable when so conformed in our ways,
in the balance of our own protection we sometimes move farther away,
trusting more in his protection moves us,
through the dangers that try to illude us,
sometimes too much is enough to see,
at times God pulls us away in prayer to intercede,
strongholds can stand right up in your face,
to surround its atmosphere with no breathing space,
to block your concentration of loves true cause,
the distance must be to leave until it is gone,
parts of the body working the visible eye cannot see,
the internal makeup of his purpose to be,
the beat of the heart, the sound in its call,
that make up and orchestrate the sound of its song.
I Midas
King Midas' greed for riches was such
That everything turned to gold in his clutch,
As did his daughter one day
When she got in the way.
Much better for her had they not kept in touch.
II Arthur
The Camelot tale is a wonderful fable,
And King Arthur and knights were all equally able,
But had trouble deciding
Just who was presiding
When no one could sit at the head of the table.
III The Emperor (the one with the new clothes)
The vain Emperor was pleased, as he gazed in the glass,
At how well his new trousers conformed to his ass.
The fabric, so sheer,
With one crease in the rear,
And the "zipper" in front, though demure, was pure class.
when my mother died I was lost and feeling down
so I turned to God and The Holy Spirit I found
He removed me from a place where I was stuck on hold
He took me under His wings and Into His righteous fold
I conformed to be what He ideally finds
an obedient servant with a willing mind
as all men are fraught with sin
learn to obey and just LET GOD IN
offer up your sustenance, surrender all to Christ
worship Him, praise Him, love Him with all your might
capitulate, sacrifice, relinquish and submit
give all to God and be filled with The Holy Spirit
come to Him willingly and you will find
all of your carnality will be left behind
as He is above all natural things
our Lord and Savior, the one true King
just pray to God
develop a dialogue
keep on praising His name
and do not use It in vain
worship Him with a righteous appeal
revere unto Him and the truth will be revealed
impart to God and live a Christian life
glorify Him in the name of Jesus Christ
acquiesce to God your entire being
and on Judgement Day the Kingdom you'll be seeing
so get baptized and be born again
just keep the faith and LET GOD IN
