Africa

AFRICA
 Africa! A land flowing with milk and honey.
Devoured by greed and the love for money
Where corruption thrives and war is a common place
Where will Africa show her true real face?                                          

Africa! The Land of lions and zebras
Where men are hunted down like fishes in rivers
Arise Africa! For your children are suffering
Cursed with a black skin 
Does this means I am nothing?
Africa today is like Africa yesterday
Good men like Nkrumah were never allowed to stay

Africa! I shed tears of blood for your children
A thousand years from now 
And they still know not their brethren

Africa! A land blessed with so many cultures
Where children are labeled witches
Killed
And eaten by vultures
Africa! When will you move at a faster pace?
So that you can take us all to that promised place

Africa! The home of voodoo and magic
Where technology is forgotten
Because nobody wants it
Africa! A land abandoned by youths and scholars
Where farmers leave their hoes in search of collars
Africa! A land of so many opportunities
With fertile soil and rock but still limited possibilities

Africa! A land filled with gold and oil
Where we languish in poverty 
Because we do not benefit from the soil

Africa! Where money is stolen from the people by the leaders
Where sadness is read in the newspapers by readers
Black ogres feeding fat on flesh and blood
Human beings desecrated without fear of God
When will Africa show her true real face?
And lift the curse of Ham on the entire black race

Africa! A land that tries to copy democracy 
But the only thing that is done is outright hypocrisy
Africa! the key to your redemption is not only violence
But we must bring the evil doers to their knees
Before we sentence them to silence
Bang! Bang! Bang! Machine gun fire none stop 
Come on Africa I shall lift your spirit up

Africa! One day the messiah will come 
He will rid us off these thieves and the very scum
Then your glory will shine like a big red sun
That is when I say Africa our work is done

Premium Member No Kings Today

America First has a long history
Over 250 years now
Of resisting the tyranny of kings.
Needless to say, Trump is the obvious face 
Of America First,
And yet here he is being called a king.
The irony is those now opposed to MAGA
Would have been opposed to America’s independence
And so called “loyalists” back then.
Loyal to what we might ask?
To the top down power of the monarchy
To the mercantilist crony capitalism of the day
To a status quo that didn’t want anything to change.
Kings like this kind of stability after all,
Not being elected to serve a limited term
They worry about the only way they can be replaced
And that is through death.
But real kings these days are figure heads,
Not doers or even tyrants
But remnants of past glories 
Held up to inspire and unite a culture.
Maybe the protests today aren’t really for no kings
As much as not their king.
If they were really honest they’d have just 
Had a posthumous crowning ceremony
For their immortal King 
Karl of Marx.

My Story Telling Can You Trust Me

Gun fire all around, bombs going off in the distance
It was some of the angry mobs and resistance
Father was the king of SafeHaven a small kingdom
Like all other kingdoms it fell in random
Fire started in the castle
And along with it came a battle

It was a distance memory now because the child has now grew
Many things in this child that made memories stew
My name is Mastrey, a young orphan who was there that night
Mastrey saw her in the distance and her father and mother in his sight
Everyone was loud that night and made all the children hide
But that evening Mastrey saw her mother and father die

She ran into the bushes in such a fright
And evil doers were running around with flashlights
Mastrey remember it as he distracted them 
Her eyes was so confused with problems
Mastrey new that it was because of what just occurred
His feelings of what those people did was not awkward

The distraction worked, he went back to were she was
Hiding and very scared she was, he asked her, can you trust me just because?
Her answer that night depended on her lively hood
As Mastrey was their with his hand reaching out to her as he stood
Pulling her up from the ground he looked into her eyes that were SeaBlue
Mastrey had made a life long friend and love, She knew it was true

It was always you

It was always you
By Michelle Morris 
17/12/2025

Did you ever watch a movie 
And see the hero before he knows it?
He tries and fails and keeps trying 
Gets up each time he falls 

Resists dying
Keeps fighting 
Keeps moving
Keeps learning 

Keeps proving 
Keeps racing 
Keeps pacing 
Keeps rising

Keeps striving 
Keeps growing 
Keeps changing 
Until he knows it

Because it's a journey 
It's a quest we have to take 
You leave comfort and knowing 
You embrace pain and growing 

You might think you're failing 
You keep struggling but hoping
You hold on to your faith
You feel like your fingernails will break 

But you f* do it
You keep on doing it 
You pray and you curse
You scream and you hurt 

But you keep on
Because you have a will
You have a purpose 
You have a goal

Your dream pushes you 
It has to because no one else will 
Those people on the sidelines 
Forget them because they are lookers

They're not doers 
They don't understand it 
They don't have courage 
They don't know purpose 

They don't have passion
They are happy with their unhappiness 
They are content to be nothing 
They are content to feel nothing 

But we are not here for contentment 
We are here to strive and to thrive
We are here to build legacies 
Legacies that remain as beacons 

Beacons of hope
Beacons of light
Beacons of faith
Beacons of right

And even if you're in it 
And you don't know it yet
You're the hero
It was always you

Don't forget it
Don't regret it
Don't stop trying 
Don't stop striving

You're the hero
It was always you
One day you'll see it
One day you'll know

Almighty God Is Above All Justices

Non physical soul is of no mater
                                being with that admission and confession made 
                                          for wrongs and sins physically done 
                                             God perhaps pardons we believe
                                                   HE is the Supreme Justice 
                                         even of all justices without any question

                                                  All Justices of material world 
                                           Punish wrong doers as per their law
                                           even after admission and confession
                                               material justice is bound by law
                                               Almighty God's always above all
                                                  hears only true confession

Fuente Ovejuna

(In the late Middle Ages, the people
of the Spanish village of Fuente
Ovejuna rose up spontaneously and
killed their cruel overlord.)

No, there were no words. 
Nobody seduced the villagers 
with, "What Is To Be Done?" 

No-one came with drums 
to smite the heart 
and pummel the Pueblo walls. 

Best call it a communal twitch, 
a spasm in the Pueblo soul. 

Nothing seized us, entered into us. 
More accurately, something went. 
We seemed to have mislaid ourselves awhile. 

Of the doers, who shall abide the deed? 
None recalls the doing. 
What can it be likened to? 
Falling down a wellshaft? 
Oppressive closeness, 
voices that were all torque. 

When we returned, 
ugly sunlight had transformed The Thing 
into a thing more prosaic. 
The village was itself again. 

But It had lost Its head. 

People (we were plural once again) 
were still as corpses. 
Someone said, without conviction, 
"Tyranny is dead". 
A throat was cleared. 

It didn't look like Tyranny. 
It just looked uncomfortable 
where it lay, contorted. 

Some of them spat and shuffled off, 
some just stood uneasily, 
impressed at their own embarrassment.

Banquet Before the Ceremony

With full apprecation of all thing concidered.
In respect to all that are involved..
Its defintion becomes it reason to exsist.
To grow from the seeds: which harvested
shall be fruit to nourish, and seed again for
it's future.
We those who see these things done, now
look to create and establish this day,
the means and ways to create.
The creation of this new entity from these
new begannings. This new Entity from this start.
For thoise who wish to chore and labor. In the industry
from the support of this company,
shall do so as employees.
Some with stakes: as stakeholders and visionaries.
Some as emoyees: but all together
as members of an enitity who
wishes to change the world with the influence of creation.
Standing on the surfaced plain, stacking the walls,
and roofing the the show. Doers of works.
Research, development, rehearst,
and displayed.
"Addio Padre, Addio Padre!
Soo right, Soo, Right
ah ooh redition
Publlic presentation
addio
Padre, So right , so right!:"
Collabarations and demostrations.
In the styles of now and future.
To influence the ulture it shall create.
In recreation and creation.
With the emphasis on creation
Showcasing talents, contracting events. 
Catering to the many who like what we do
and those who wish to inspire change
by research and development.
Standing topside
looking
to other venues and helping
contract business for the need
of effeincancy.
Methods and strategies:
influencing and making
new fusions in all genres, where
the opendoor
will allow new people
as consumers followers
and business oppurtunites.

Premium Member A Rodeo in Milton Creek

As Mayor Tom often says when he's off on one of his escapades...
"Greetings" this time from Milton Creek!  It seems like decades
since we've shared the latest news about what's been goin' on.
The law is still being abided here. For that, we thank Judge Horne.

Sheriff Mark is still away on a secretive meeting about a commission.
Guess, it's not so secretive since I just mentioned it in my admission.
The town is safe in the capable hands of Daniel Rodgers for a while,
and deputies Terry, Duke and Mike are always lookin' out for the vile.

It's been mighty tranquil here in Milton Creek and surrounding towns
since the hombres and rustlers are gone, there are no worried frowns.
The law here never lets down its guard against the evil doers of crime,
so, we're enjoying the pleasant atmosphere; a long-awaited peacetime.

Telegraph agent, Jerry sent word that soon we'll be hosting a rodeo.
It promises to be an exciting event for everyone... a big western show.
There's a list of events, and I hope each category will fill with names...
Calf ropin' and barrel racin' will take place with lots of other games.

I've noticed Jan and Tania have both signed up for a few of the events,
Ranger David will ride broncs and bulls, so will several other residents.
Deb said she would, too, although it's a decision she might regret.
Constance will be checking out the animals since she's our new vet.

There's still two months before the first rodeo opens in the Creek.
I'm adding a new wing of rooms to Aces Hotel; a few will be a bit chic.
We're hopin' to draw in nice folk who might settle down from afar
and bring in revenue for the Manx when they belly up to the bar!

Anne-Lise will perform trick riding to begin the rodeo celebration.
It'll be a week-long event, so we're extending this as an invitation...
Come to Milton Creek for drinks and eats... steaks and whoopie pies!
and bring your competitive spirit if you're aimin' to win a rodeo prize.

Preacher Paul Nederlof will be here to pray that everyone stays safe.
Cowboys and cowgirls, strap on your chaps so your legs don't chafe.
Guns will be collected by deputies when newbies ride into Milton Creek
cuz we don't take kindly to black hat gangs. It's peace here that we seek.

Premium Member Meldair

A ring of absoluteness served him well
Giving him the confidence to fight off the evil doers from other lands.
We sang of his accomplishments, and watched from afar
He needed nothing other than our belief in his abilities.
As long as he had that, Meldair could keep saving us
Knowing this, we kept chanting, sending ideas and ideals
of victory, glory, life, and refreshing uplifting soul strength
His ring of absoluteness grabbed it up and ran with it.
Do you think we need to help in any other ways? A youngling asked.
You might send him your love to let him know we care, said an elder.
So, we did that too, watching him fight the evil in the world,
keeping it forever out of our village. He was our strength
And he kept us safe. We write volumes about him.
Meldair, the One Who Saves Us.
