A Friendly Reminder For Our Nation

Mr. President, Mr. Vice President, Americans, and the world:

In the crucible of revolution, our forefathers etched their pledge—
a bold testament inscribed not solely in ink,
but in the quiet, relentless pulse of divine dependence.  
It is as if the ink itself carried whispers 
of a celestial covenant, 
affirming divine Providence
into the very marrow of liberty.

Yet, as time past, 
present battles won,
and future problems solved,
liberty's nation absolved themselves
from any responsibility 
to the Providence from whose 
sovereign ties 
freed them from foreign foes.
And man's purpose became his own. 

Hear this

If our purpose is in just us,
we will find we have lost ourselves,
encased in the cells of just-ice. 
For if our forefathers found it requisite
to declare our nation's independence by
recognizing their dependence on the 
"Laws of Nature and Nature's God"
beyond the limits of 
mankind's powerful facade,
facading the source of 
our country's origin,
our homeland's dominion, 
foraging a jurisdiction of humanity alone, 
thereby ascending mortality's throne
above the divine --
making mankind superior to the
"Supreme judge of the world,"
a position our forefather's forbade
"appealing... [In] rectitude...of [their] intentions" 
to a God they believed in,
a declaration sovereignty -
bowed in solemnity, 
proclaiming “with a firm reliance on the
protection of divine Providence," 
a dependence on a God they 
entrusted their dependence to.

Who are we to say any different? 
What difference does it make
if we believe in God or ourselves?
As the good word says, 

"Shall the axe boast itself against him 
that heweth therewith? or shall the saw
magnify itself against him that shaketh it? 
As if the rod should shake itself against 
them that lift it up, or as if the staff 
should lift up itself, as if it were no wood."

For Godhood is to create,
and man was created by God. 
And should man boast himself beyond
Him who spawned ages beyond ages,
he shall find himself his brother's pawn,
despondent, disheartened and disappointed, 
foraging for the framework 
of freedom our forefathers foraged,
overwhelmed by the damage
of a fallen nation who failed
to hear the caution within
the clarion calls of its creator.

This is a warning
from neighbor to neighbor.

Unchain the Woman

Perfectly conceived in the Almighty’s omniscience 
she was breathed with life wondrously by the Creator
granted full freedom to accomplish entrusted role
which according to the Scriptures, is “an help meet for him*.” 

As such, what right has anyone to chain her?
to imprison her soul?
to enslave her being?
to diminish her feminine quality?

Completing the man by virtue of her God-granted attributes
she is vitally needed with her significance
a home can’t be a home without her
and a family devoid of her touch loses its verity.

Then why is she treated as a mere possession?
as an object of masculine’s lust?
as a darling partner to meet sexual cravings for a night?
as a comfort-giver who is not emotionally compensated?

The woman awesomely created by the Sovereign
is that lady with a unique task to perform
she can be your daughter, sister, mother, or girl friend
who’s doing her very best --- thru love's commitment of gracious trust.

Woe unto anyone who is undermining her and her personhood
mistreating her contrary to justice essence
abusing her against righteousness precept
minimizing her worth along unfair value system.

In the name of the Lord Who is the great Defender  
the ultimate fortress, protector and sustainer of life...
everyone is called upon to stop chaining the woman…
since depriving her of genuine freedom means mankind’s liberty-loss.

Christ be praised for His compassion-propelled dealings 
with women during His earthly ministry:
He showed them His care, forgiveness, comfort, appreciation
...brought to them healing of wellness favour
reaching-out to those grieving with mercy...
...lifted the ones humiliated publicly, granting His pardon…
rescuing their repentant souls from the condemnation of sin’s wages.

As a woman privileged to enjoy God-driven freedom bliss
I strive with faith to help advocate for human lawful rights
while praying for and assisting victims of "violence against women"
and spiritually leading them to the divine freedom Source.   

*Genesis 2:23  And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

Beholding the Saviour's Triumph

Leaving heavenly throne to reach-out mankind, the Messiah bore the status of condescension: His birth in the Bethlehem manger brought to Earth’s calendar a divine milestone, while glorious angelic choir and awed shepherds welcomed His babyhood.

offering love’s best
incarnation triumphant
eternal life reigns

Servant-leadership --- Christ exemplified as He ministered with mercy’s optimized best: healing the sick, feeding the multitudes, quickening the dead, forgiving the repentant, pronouncing beatitudes, drawing humanity nigh to the Almighty.

utmost caring shown
compassion indeed at work
blissful selflessness

Falsely accused with blasphemy unpardonable, betrayed by intimate companions, indicted to pay sins’ penalty, Jesus bore the cross to Calvary, giving up the ghost to reconcile sinners to the holy Creator: freeing those who trust Him from iniquities’ condemnation, assuring them heaven’s security, and granting peace so blissful.

grace and justice met
redemption truly fulfilled
blest crucifixion

Entombed, verily secured; yet after three days of burial, the Saviour rose amidst guarding soldiers manifesting His omnipotence: mighty wonder proving His expertise in impossibilities, miraculous act only the Sovereign can do and marvelous magnificence against vanity of temporal existence.

power over grave
resurrection smiting death
hope of believers

Heeded toward the Father above, the Lord entrusted the Great commission-fruition to His church: to build lives, spread His love, exalt His name through the Holy Spirit’s guidance, gearing, guarding, and girding while advancing His kingdom*.
 
pursuits accomplished
ascension so jubilant
to come again soon

*Matthew 28:19-20 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Irony of Purpose

It is funny! 
Very funny how
A masked preacher can preach honesty; 
And even points at the wrongs with his
Fingers of hypocritical righteousness…

We stare with grim satisfaction
Because the black winged Angel 
Ridding a flaming chariot tells a tale; 
And proclaims that God is love, 
Yet he, himself is an Angel of death. 

Day after wretched day Humanity walks! 
He walks down the dark alley of freedom;
Freedom which shouts fairness; 
Fairness that begets confusion—
And he tries to bottle the spittle of birds…

Every night he lies in bed and tries to hear
The voice of fishes shouting gender and Sexualty in a world where the scale of
Equality is  unevenly proportional and
Equal rights mean the oppression of men. 

Apartheid, the history of Mzanzi is 
The present for the African world and
That has caused his inferiority complexes 
To suffice and personalize racism and 
One after another, generations play along. 

Lest we forget, 
The victims are just as guilty
As the perpetrators but at some point. 
Humanity weeps as he inspects 
His isle of hopelessness! 

But just like the majority, men; 
They cry in hiding. 
Where no-one sees, 
No-one hears and 
No-one dares speak for the black sheep! 

Deep down this egocentric radicalism, 
He orders rotten eggs to make an omelette
With which he feeds pirate justice, 
And he goes all year long 
On a running stomach. 

Although the words never sink, 
Humanity hearkens to 
The rumbling stomach of justice but 
When the rainbow of life turns 
Grey! 

Humanity's children cry day and night
While the Angel of death entrusted 
Their protection feasts on their tears
And dances to the beautiful sound 
Of their troubled voices. 

And when the wolf comes for their
Brazen souls we hail at the smiling lady
Who says 'I am virgin Mary'
With fangs behind her white vail
And poison under her tongue—death! 

The rich are poor but morally, 
Yet no-one sees
And no-one cares; 
They say 'each one for himself' 
Come shall the final hour do. 

It is funny! 
Very funny how
A masked preacher can preach honesty; 
And even points at the wrongs with his
Fingers of hypocritical righteousness…

Humanity looks on 
And passes his judgement. 
The masked preacher scoffs:
“No-one is perfect. 
No, not one!”

The Honorific

"The Honorific Bridge"
: by Suzanne Alexander
[neé C] Nicknamed missilverwood

In worth unmeasured
free wealth pursue,a sake
worthwhile. In comfort wait ,a
trio clutch, orbt fate -obliviously
unaware, even on hint or cue.Patiently
Await , unprepared the clutch trio só , 'ku',
ån honourable strong heart that graciously...
welcomes, generously give: ã smile delightedful,
declaring, a change in queue. To establish truthful
principles fused, smelted in current era. An aim surely?
Symbiostic simplistic relations emits true unification shared

cognated and capsulated by an identical,trio , on pollarded truth...obvious that this universal common goal harmonised produce ... a universal wealth already in practice proved.... shared from a heart peaceful , not a lie , ensures,equivalent
wealth for all . Not one controversial existent statement...
can decline such integrity in heart, mind and soul a morale,

Hence, wakening thé worthy hive arcaded.To wax the new way , arcaded years ago. With perserverence ,persistence and hardwork progressed from hands , the few. A song new - new bibs,baby cots ,aligns the varietY shapes sailing the home of the trio clutch. On stage a half moon sepset playing the tune Not an arcadian plot, isolatated

Honorific arcaved goals pillars, unified by ultimus.
Through perserved character stealthfully obtained hidden keyes reflecting some known truth to the guardians , bestowed and entrusted holders .
The Pendulum Clock sets Time .A key safely secured
form this ideal , not to steal not earned honor for power,
Exclusion of two main honoured believes- the witnesses. Maybe on purpose, and most importantly forgotten
Gods,promise when two sparrows sold for a
penny not forgotten,
Faith Prevails.
God Protector Presets
Planned these Promises.
Nothing
more
Truthful than this.
