Premium Member Holy Father I Am Thank Full For Your Daughter You'Ve Given Me-

I love her inter visions
And most of her decisions
She is an sinner, yet she's been forgiven
One of Gods daughters
And pray fully she'll be bothered
With a sinner man like me, you see
I to am forgiven;
For by His strips I AM HEALED
And by His grace I do receive
Called out and forgiven for my sins;
Now I am a follower of a ONE TRUE KING:
God I hank you for your love, your grace
Thank you Father for this place, this space;
And if I be worthy, may she be your daughter just for me;
There's no wining, pressure, nor hurry;
She is a prayer though, though I am not worthy;
Her spirit, soul, and heart I need, I want;
I'll be happy/thankful if you bless me or not
I love her inter visions
Her praise and worship toward you
One she's one of your daughters Father God
For this I am ever so thank-full
With a sinner man like me, you see
I am repented, yes I'm free;
And by His grace I do receive
Called out and forgiven for my sins;
Now I am a follower of a ONE TRUE KING:
God I hank you for your love, your grace
Thank you Father for this place, this space;
And if I be worthy, may she be your daughter just for me;

Lost Part 2

Inside him he can feel flurries of powerful fury
and curiosity that come and go in a hurry,
bringing to life short lived waves of bravery,
then supressed by depression, owner of mental slavery.

Paired with anxiety he's a panic attack liability,
retracted social skills detach him from society,
to get by he hides his mind in shadows of a cave,
waiting and hoping one day they'll come and save.

Scared but angry with past ways that he's behaved,
people in his life benefitted from attention he gave,
time was spent on selfless actions and never returned,
forgotten through distractions, those bridges burned.

People only ever watch out for their own backs,
a selfish key attribute to survival but a fact.
You can't hate people because of how they act,
suddenly there's a light shining out of the black.

This revelation makes timid a little of his frightened,
only he can save himself with a fight to the end,
be brave in life by turning the unsighted bend,
knowing only on himself can he truly depend.

Sometimes all you can do is hide,
sometimes it's the only way to survive,
sometimes feelings rise up inside,
when they do it's time to fight, keep them alive.

At present a blank page starting fresh like a child
trying to climb back up this bottomless spiral,
a need to learn quickly, he's adapted to the wild,
facing a fairytale comeback to be done in style.

But he's been sat in hiding for oh so long,
and he has been getting decisions wrong,
he knows now that he needs to be strong,
there is no time to waste, no time to mong.

He can't change the fact he didn't act sooner,
but he's not prepared to be depressions prisoner,
freedom a distance even for a strong warrior,
get it wrong now and it's a trip to the coroner.

Military Cop-Out

The armed services think they're autonomous,
after 'Deepcut,' it may no longer be the case;
the man from MI6 paid Colonel Llewellyn a visit,
he informed him that a military court was irrelevant.

He said that the services were answerable to HM Government,
and could no longer abide by in-house decisions;
Colonel Llewellyn looked at the man from MI6,
'Do you have authority to make these comments?' He asked.

He was informed that he did, with a dry smile,
'Situations will be monitored, no initiation rites,
no bullying, no misplaced discipline, nothing like that,'
Colonel Llewellyn said, 'This is outrageous.'

'How do you intend to implement  such proposals?'
MI6 said: 'I can assure you that there is no choice.'

Premium Member Think About Joy

THINK ABOUT JOY

Think about joy or deep happiness.
How do we attain and maintain it continually?
Even in the midst of life’s storm
or going through adverse circumstances.

Think about the people we know,
who are truly happy like a joyous child.
There would only be a few or a handful.
For most are only happy, joyful when
things go their way, get what they want.
They associate joy and happiness 
with success, possessions, prestige.
They sink and worry when they have less.

Think about the people, who have them all,
or the people, who cannot get what they want.
They are unhappy wanting somebody else’s life,
wanting more and more or feeling miserable. 

How do we find joy, happiness every day?
Is there such?  Joy, happiness continually?
Yes, accepting, knowing and loving oneself.
Knowing one’s strengths, gifts in form
of talents, capabilities and sharing them.

Knowing one’s flaws and weaknesses
and accepting and working on them.
Not paying attention to other people’s
opinions for knowing oneself well. 

Being grateful for what we have and
accepting our circumstances as they are
or what life brings us and thanking each
day for each day is a precious gift.

Receive each day with joy, listening
to a birdsong or looking at the golden
sunlight and show acts of kindness.
Peace, contentment and happiness
or joy continually or in continuum 
are decisions and it is up to us to decide.

Tough Times

Aaaargh 

It's been a tough month for me
The business spiralling
And workers on my toes
It feels like there's nothing I'm doing right 

Cause now it's a boss and his workers
While what we had was a family
We were so close that we'd iron things out
Now it's not peaceful talks, it's protests and lawsuits 

And I've not been one for the media
Especially now since I'm in it for wrong reasons
I'm but a Gypsie man trying to be smart
Cause we can't all be sly behind card tricks 

I've been on rough patches before
Where I'd hurt but I had someone with me
Now I have no one by my corner
Cause everyone sees me as the enemy 

They forget its hard to be at the top 
It's even more hard to make decisions
Cause some decisions are things I just have to do
For it's in the best interest of the company 

For they still got to be paid
And they need extra wages
So forgive me if I'm strict on the work
Cause I pay for effort ?? 
I can't just let everyone have what they ask for 

The PO£T


Directly

Never been the indirect type chalk that up to my zodiac, take a picture of this moment you'll never see it again without a Kodiak, everyone needs to be tested like an asvab, so bubble in your answers clearly I'm so mathematic, I don't take shots at anyone regardless of they drew the foul, just box em up in isolation crowds are so futile, no ammunition so no need to go to the armory, standing ovation for anyone honorable trying to dishonor me, feeding in too deeply of what your heart says is bad for business, just let it pump blood your mind was designed to make those decisions, fishing for answers without asking questions, it's a never ending cycle I wonder how stubborn we truly are or if we just look past the lessons, I'm no lesser so I chose to leave it on the dresser, birds of a feather will always flock together, so if you're one who's reading this and I offended you in some type of way, come approach me on it directly or let's make peace that's really all I'm trying to say

Premium Member Heart Gentle - Eye Mindful

With gentle hearts and mindful eyes, we see;
the two together are our guarantee
to meld our vision's stark reality
with deep-down heartfelt feelings that agree.

By heart alone, decisions oft are made
to end with outcomes that were not conveyed
by eyes that lift that true confirming shade
so heart and sight- in balance are displayed.

With eyes alone, false imagery- the cost
in an illusion that is sometimes tossed
by surfaces that are quite often crossed
to end an opportunity that's lost.

The two together are our guarantee;
with gentle hearts and mindful eyes, we see.

Being

being is a state of mind,
i can always change how im being,
being is caused by a reaction of my feelings, so by controlling my feelings, im controlling my 
being.  when i discipline my heart i gain balance, for if i feel too much, or too little,
im either jumping ahead of god, or im staggering behind him.
if there are no boundaries with my feelings, i cannot evaluate the circumstances in my life 
clearly, and when i loose my balance, i loose focus, and clarity is clouded.

BUT GOD.........


he catches me in those moments when im off balance.
he hightens my perception when i stay focused on him.
he's used people and circumstances, good and bad, to change my life.
his creativity is amazing, and he will use anything to get his point across to me,
he speaks to my mind and heart with love and compassion, and allows me to see love even 
through the worst of circumstances.

so i will trust in the lord even in the smalllest decisions i make. i know there is a plan and a 
purpose for every encounter i have.  some of the worst experiences have turned out to be 
the biggest blessings in my life, and im thankful for those blessings for when he blesses me, 
it gives me the opportunity to be a blessing to others.

To Wear a Mask Or Not Is the Question Part Two

but this government MANDATE 
from Harris County is unnecessary, 
unconstitutional, and unAmerican. 

It’s an unprecedented overreach 
which looks more like a communist dictatorship 
than a free Republic. 

And here in Texas
We believe
That people have to make
Their own decisions

What’s that?
Drunk driving should be okay?
Driving without seat belts
Or insurance should be okay?

What is wrong with you people
Requiring people to wear a mask
Is not the same thing at all

It is communism socialism fascism
Liberalism nanny state run amok
And we will not stand by it

At this point,
 I see it as nothing more than politics. 
Governor Abbott announces a trajectory
 to start reopening Texas and Harris County, 
which never even utilized its $60 MILLION
 pop up hospital at NRG, I
mplements a mandate
 for face masks on 4 million people. 

The other counties to do it are Dallas, Bexar, and Travis. 
These are the 3 most liberal counties in the state of Texas. 
Coincidence?
 I don’t think so.

They are all filled with godless liberals, 
Gays and anti-Christians and democrats
Who hate America 
And hate TEXAS

 I believe we’ve seen
 the worst of this war.

What?
There has been a record breaking 
Increase in covid cases?

Just more fake news
Everything is fine 
Here is Texas

Cough cough cough 

 And we’re closer to victory 
than we’ve ever been. 
Let’s keep doing our part 
to be conscious of others 
when we’re out 
and make sure to hold

 government accountable, always

But don’t wear a mask
If you do 

We will pull you over
Because you are probably

A criminal type
Wearing a mask

To protect yourself
From the non-existent 
China flu

And we don’t want your kind
Living and polluting
Our great Texas state

Cough cough cough

You have to ask your self
Are you tired of living in a dictatorship yet?

This is what happens when people go crazy 
and get tested.

One last ticket. 
One last seat on the train. 
Running fast, 
to make it, before there is 
no chance to escape, 
the fate of the ages. 

Stone statues, 
frozen in time... 
put up, taken down, 
pulled apart and destroyed. 
Toys to the elites, 
making sweeping decisions... 
that effect us all. 

Shooting rays at the sun, 
that warms our world. 
There... there is life bleeding out, 
in torrents of colors, 
red, gold, blue, and even green. 
Soon there will be 
no living thing... 
left. 

The rich man buys up acres, 
and lets the land go fallow. 
The homeless starve in their tents
downtown. 
Food lines, and riots by pirates, 
a caravan of the starving
mongrels, zombies,
and the lost.

The journey coming to an end, 
the roller skates stopped on the concrete... 
signs that say go home, 
but there is nowhere to go.
