Premium Member Trilogy of Nonviolence Advocates Rev King Jr Attys Mandela and Gandhi!

The "Trilogy of Non-Violence" advocates peacefully uplift humanity
Humanity is to behold a peaceful way of overcoming the struggle of life.
Life, where all souls are valuable and with love are diminishing hate
Hate! Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. states, "Driven out by the light."
 
Light of the world for humanity to see shining bright, eliminating darkness
Darkness, which Attorney Nelson Mandela survived in gloomy dungeons.
Dungeon of despair, trying to rent his humility, spirit, and soul without relent
Relent, he withstood, overcame with God's grace, seeking peace, not revenge!
 
Revenge develops turmoil in humanity's mind and soul—"So agonizing!"
Agonizing the spirit to do ill will toward others without peace—Violence!
Violence Attorney Mahama Gandhi pronounced is inferior to non-violence
Non-violence is strength emanating from an indomitable will of humanity.
 
Humanity diligently erased images of the beast, displaying its ugly appearance,
Rev. Dr. King, Jr. Attorneys Mandela and Gandhi defeating such ugliness!

Premium Member The Gorge

I saw a gorge, a remote vision from distant, far far away from the surface, how sharp, how precipitous, how deep!

A  singular, unsurpassed, cavernous  cleft;
a crevice among two gigantic hills, how intense and steep!

The rocky walls of the mountains though withering,
canopying the remote sight from the brink of the rugged cliffs.
The highland though barren, is pampering the rivulet flowing,
emerald- azure, though erosive from shrink!

Its ages disposition, the geologic uplift and abrasion,
elevates the surface to fabricate its tapestry inch by inch!
The diverse, vivacious habitats in its bosom, in seclusion, are dozing,
in remote lowland, far from the tainted world in miff!

The robust gorge, all of a sudden, for its persistent profoundity,
a rare attribute in mortals, became my cause of envy!

Was pondering " where is that Gorge like once perceived devotion, allegiance from human inclination has gone? "

Nowhere the professed deluded ones, stands near its awe-inspiring abiding supremacy, the Gorge, the mighty!

Alas! The demons have taken away humanity's infallible dedication for substantiality and profoundity,
only to be as hollow as floating cotton balls, with no eye, no reverence for sublimity!

The Gorge is the apostle of Almighty's emblem of constant flow of unfathomed steadfast solemnity, beyond earthly folly!

Aeons ago, God's supreme contour, silhouette against the brilliant encompassing sky,
The persistent Gorge, determines to flow distant, diligently, from the lavish absurdity, from the sheer mortals idiocy!

Human devotion, so fragile, so freckle, so self-centric,
wish have an inch depth of the perpetual, perennial Gorge, the mighty!

Neither, any earthly disposition, can comprehend,
nor approach the grand Gorge, in reflections, so fickle, so tiny;
as insignificant as their fleshly existence,
in the face of the  abiding Gorge,
the exalted composition of the Almighty!

Premium Member Enriched Service

The Lord be praised for my enriched service around His blessing
With His provisions always timely in their arrival
Surely gladdening my heart amidst revival
While I abide in His presence, worshiping Him in fellowship’s praising.

The Lord be glorified for my enlivened service as I follow His leadership
In His kingdom-work of great commission’s fulfillment
He enables my dedication to bear fruits by His strength-endowment
Inspiring me to persevere diligently in my entrusted stewardship*.

*1Peter 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

Premium Member yuletide cynicism

If you’re looking for yuletide cynicism here,
you’re shopping in the wrong place.

This is New York City’s time of year.
It’s stood the test of time and it fairly sparkles,
proving that the ordinary can be extraordinary.
With the right lighting.

Lisa’s (parent’s) apartment glitters like our promised heaven on high.
When we left at Thanksgiving, Michael (Lisa’s dad) had the concierge
service stressed, toting boxes of decorations up from their storage area.
When I waved my goodbyes, he appeared to be wrestling an octopus of
cool-white fairy lights into submission. Now everything glitters pyrite bright.

Our holiday time is limited—and this is our chance to unwind—so we’re
selective about what we decide to embrace. For instance, there was a sale
at Michael Kors where, no big deal, I got a pair of brogues, black
leather wingtips that’ll be straight fire with a little black dress.
The bargains were so good that I decided the store must be a drug front.
Not that I’m complaining. Do I ever complain? Nope, I’m stoic.

Like Eric Adams, the mayor of New York, Lisa and I’ve
been “testing the product” of Manhattan's club scene.
We’re searching diligently for the new and unfamiliar.

When it comes to picking which clubs we want to visit,
Charles, our driver and escort (a retired NYPD cop),
has gone as far as to suggest, we’re “out of our depth,”
and refused to let us even try one or two DJ’d, pop-up clubs
in Queens that were getting a lot of heat and likes.
“Roosevelt Avenue is the new 42nd Street,” he’d said.
What does that even mean??
Indignant silence

Anyway, 
I hope Christmas finds you all merry and bright and that
your holidays—whichever you celebrate— are carnivals of food, music,
friendship and love—for those are the luxuries that count the most.
Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Merry Kwanzaa, Happy Festivus!

Key Verse – Judges 20:18 And the children of Israel arose, and went up to the house of God, and asked counsel of God, and said, Which of us shall go up first to the battle against the children of Benjamin? And the LORD said, Judah shall go up first.

HEART THAT ASKS THE COUNSEL OF GOD

Our heart asks the counsel of God by His sovereignty
Along His leading authority
With His guiding majesty
As well as His abounding generosity.

Our heart asks the counsel of God by His mercy
Along His directing supremacy
With His controlling clemency
As well as His forgiving fervency.

Our heart asks the counsel of God by His victory
Along His triumphing glory
With His conquering ministry against misery
As well as His sin-vanquishing love story.

Our heart asks the counsel of God by His holiness-army
Along His saving grace against hell’s enemy
With His cleansing sanctification from sins, so abomination-slimy
As well as His perfecting righteousness when in filth, we are wickedly gloomy.

Our heart asks the counsel of God by His Word steadfastly
Along His guarding wisdom constantly
With His governing truth diligently
As well as His girding-up ways amazingly.

Our heart asks the counsel of God by His Scriptural theology
Along His training principles for Bible-based pedagogy
With His instructing precepts toward stewardship’s andragogy
As well as His teaching discipleship without any apology.

Our heart asks the counsel of God by His virtuous way
Along His instilling goodness-ray
With His imparting transformation everyday
As well as His inspiring influence to mold us for obedient service as we pray.

Premium Member A Letter Sent

I am writing to you because I know you have a wish.
I have been thinking diligently about your wish. It is not
going to be easy but I think it can be done. First I am going
to break down your overall wish into many smaller wishes.

I want you to get that electric car you always wanted. That huge
backyard protected from unwanted visitors. I know you have a love 
for life...do you remember when you told me - You should never eat 
anything that once had a heart. I miss all those organic vegetables, 
fruits, growing foods you use to treat me to.

I want you to be able to see the stars at night not hidden by the 
crud in the air. Enjoy a sunset free of gaseous neon colors. Rid
the world of killing machines. Did you know there are weapons now
can kill hundreds in a few minutes, I know it would break your heart
to watch.

Than I want you to fill your lungs in the cleanest of air plumped up 
with an abundance of oxygen. Drink from the  oceans, lakes, rivers,
 bays fresh thirst quenching water. Can you imagine all water life 
free of cancerous tumors, fishies free of disease but I am off on
a tangent. I want you to play in the rain without fear. Have you
heard of acid rain?

I want you to get each and every single wish that I mention.
Delivered to you by the most gentle of breezes. In the frozen
fingers of the icebergs. Some in the whirlwind motion of the 
smallest of tornadoes. Others through the hairline cracks of
the best behaved of all earthquakes. 

 I love you with all my heart. I know so many have changed 
without remorse. They are so busy looking for the pot of 
gold at the end of the rainbow they no longer notice the rainbow.
So many wishes you yearn. 

I wish for you mother, at the very least your children would
stop raping you, sodomising you. Mother Earth we your children,
us the humans live here by your grace...well my wish for you
mother is that your children would stop all the denial, all the
arguments, the rationalizations...we have all the excuses for
what we do to you. I wish what you wish mother. I wish your
children would show you the respect you deserve. Just that
no more, no less.

Love, Always
Maurice

The Lovers Heart

I have braved the river of truth just to see what you would do,
I have passed through the sea of time just to see if you were mine
But hope lingers on the days gets longer and the moments get closer
And hearts meet silently in the village at the end of the street.

I have braved the wind and the rain, just to see what is happening over there but nothing has changed, all I can see is your four-chambered heart looking at me through the dark and the two ventricles operating in a double circulatory system .What on earth is going on I am trying desperately to understand I have to take out the science book and search diligently through the cook book before my emotions betrays me.

I have braved the fire in my soul to walk with you before I grow old, I have examine the chambers in the human frame just to see if the color inside were the same, the right ventricle pumps blood into the pulmonary circulation to the lungs and the left ventricle pump systematic circulation through the aorta the main and largest artery in the human body.

The aorta distributes oxygenated blood to all parts of the body through a systematic circulation of the left ventricle. And the valves keeps opening and closing.

Now I know where you stand we will walk hand in hand and sing a melodious song until we cross over, the gap between them has opened and it will take several thousand mile before he cross the bridge, I can enjoy a slow across the bridge and enjoy the company of my new found friend, we will spend quiet times underneath the lights and close the bridge just before mid-night; we just have a few days to go before we celebrate the success of the show. Reach out and touch the lover's heart.

Premium Member Godly Triumph In Our Commitment

Godly triumph must be revealed in our Christian commitment
Reverberating earnest dedication toward service-fulfillment
Having Him as partner in every life-building accomplishment
Not pleasing men, but honouring Christ in ministry engagement
Diligently exalting His name against selfish merriment.

As His redeemed who benefited from divine atonement
We respond to His call for reaching-out with joyous sentiment 
Combating personal gain’s arrogant predicament
Assured that the Saviour is pleased thru faith-driven involvement
To be a blessing to others provoked by the Holy Spirit’s encouragement.

*2Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.

A WALK TO THE POND

As the sun dips beneath the horizon
For a stroll, I walk down to the pond
Greeted by the gentle caress of the evening  breeze
Left I was amazed with nature's bliss.

I see, a charming Lily tending to its young
Diligently pouring love; humming a song
I smiled in return as it grins
An eclipse; two worlds collide.

The Lotus scorn as the Sun goes down
Even as anger marks its expression
Its red radiates with the dying rays
Casting shadows of complete bliss.

At the far end of the pond
Bromeliads rejoice deepening their bond
As they peacefully open up
To embrace the sweet quiet night.
