Who am I, or, What am I?


        We're most spontaneous for the recognition we require from others,
                 Known for the masks we equip from day to day life.


                           The struggle has become so fierce,
                   to the point that I cannot determine who I am,
    the mask has been worn for so long and now I can’t determine what I am.


                                I think I’ve become a fiend,
                    the kind of beast that never reveals its teeth.
        It has been so long with time and with how I have worn my cover.
      That it even seems like I am in a hidden affair with my so called lover.


                        Who am I? I am believed to be a friend.
                       What am I? I now know that I’m your end.
                         Dive under and envision my personality, 
                          and see how I’ve been destined to be.


                     Everyone really is dazzling in their own way,
         we all celebrate our individuality even though it might be grey.
        True beauty is in the unseen, no mask, no cover, and no disarray.


Premium Member Your Words

Your words have sealed a bond over my
   heart,
That not even time can change.
It's not just a bunch of meaningless words,
Written out in a long outdated book, the bible.
But the very heartbeat and breath of the 
   Father.
That begins to take shape in the lives of his
   children.
To equip us to be ready for all this world has
   to offer.
Life can and will shape you to try and fit in,
Only God can truly shape you to stand out.
So don't allow negative emotions to shape
   you.
Never hold on to angry words, because they
   can form strongholds in our minds.
God's spirit living in us and His words,
Are the tools used to help shape us
   to chisel away all the stuff we don't need.
The decision to allow God's word to shape you,
Creates a bond that only time can erase.

Made In Germany

In a local hardware store,
An old one – not a chain – 
I found just what I needed,
Though I thought I’d search in vain.

Some saucers for my flowerpots
So water wouldn’t drip.
I’d recently transplanted
And I had to re-equip.

Imagine my surprise, though;
On these saucers, what’d I see?
A label boldly stating 
They were “Made in Germany.”

It really goes to show you,
Since that gave me such a shock,
That it’s rare to find an import
That is not from Chinese stock.

Guess some other countries export,
Or at least it so appears,
But more likely, my new saucers
Have been on that shelf for years!

Premium Member The Day of the Comets - Act 1

An advanced party
From many years in the future
Visit a planet called earth
A most barren of features
 
They ascend a steep hill
Like a battle scarred scene
As their receivers locate
Something unseen
 
They scrape the dirt
And uncover a find
Something so old
From a different time
 
Surveillance over
They head back to their ship
To set out again
Once they re-equip
 
The items they found
In particular on that hill
With their modern technology
They hear a historical chill
 
They sit in angst
At the words they hear
From a few centuries ago
A voice in fear
 
 
  As i stood on the porch
  Over looking the valley
  I start to view the comets
  As i await earths finale
 
 
To know what happened, please read " The Day of the Comets - Act 2 "

How To Do It

Do it without trying
Begin by swinging from chandeliers when home
Wear matching multicolored harlequin costumes
Equip yourselves with harmonicas and bazookas
Keep lubricants and trampolines near by for safety
Practice lunar landings in your room

Resume your activities in the great outdoors
Do sex in a car when speeding
Bring a partner or spare tire if desired
Avoid police if so inclined
Drive eighty miles an hour at all times
Watch out for sharp curves if they object
Narrow mountain roads are watching
Keep one eye on the road while inserting 
                                                                                    
Headlights and moon glow set the mood
Never use puppets when in an auto
Open highways are open to suggestion

Mating should only occur in flight
Eat oysters raw when in the air
Climb to greater heights by sneezing
Use Airplanes for best results
Jump from wing to wing
Wear a parachute and a pirates patch
Use only one to avoid catastrophes

Take lessons from cartoons 
To find out who you are

Leave farm animals and zoo creatures alone
Plants and vegetables are out of the equation
Milking a cow is taboo too… Don't do it!
Wear rubber gloves if you must 

Position yourselves to be lazy
In opposite directions as instructed 
Never have sex face to face
Back to back is better
Jump on the bed for comfort
Apparatuses are optional for you and amateurs
Avoid them at all cost
They cost too much
 
Watch out for babies!  (They snore)
Never run them over of course
It's against the law 
And down right crazy
Such activity could lead to divorce

Pregnancy can be fun 
Instructions are on the dashboard
But first you must buy or rent a car
Before you floor it

            -Final Notice-
(*Don't use balloons as prophylactics)
(Too many colors can cause distractions)

Unnecessary Removal of Adenoids

Back in day (of ma
     mum, and perhaps
     since time immemorial)
     utterances of physicians
     nsync with Staff of Asclepius

pounded against floor, 
     (which wrought
life to entwined serpent,
     whose beady 
     eyed hypnotic power)

     understandably 
     ranked doctors among 
near mythical powerful
     Gods, who ought
best not be ignored, thus

     (then a young Harriet Harris,
     now long since deceased)
     felt overbearing heft of
     medical practitioners final words,
and subsequently would nought

refute, ignore, nor
     dispute sacred commandment
hence would n'er be accused
     of sacrilegious immodesty,
     impiety, or impropriety

     (towards medical institution),
     and never doubt voice
most supreme in the universe,
thus she felt caught
against challenging authority

     meekly surrendered
     her only son, bought
with bargaining chip
indubitable faith 
     in omnipotent equip

ment with hocus 
     pocus magic to flip
precious life humming along,
     or force death grip
upon a lovely boy (christened

     Matthew Scott Harris),
     at present lapsed beet hip
pea hooping to stave 
     off crossing the lip
of LX bracket, there

     fore reckons a nip
and tuck (think 
     prefrontal lobotomy),
     asper when just a pip
squeak ushered,

     where mine existence
     could be mortgaged
with accidental, 
     (or purposeful) slip
of the knife, while

     under anesthetized trip
returning minus a mass of
     enlarged lymphatic tissue
     between the back of
the nose and the throat.

Premium Member Great People

Just the thought of them, makes me teary eyed.
That I knew them, fills me with a sense of pride.
They were simply hard working everyday people.                                                                                           
To my knowledge, except for Beatrice who turned 101                                                                                                 
this year, very few of their generation are still among us.
People like Mon, Tanny, Betty, Mary, Jeff, Sam, and Earl.                                                                                               
Friends of my parents; to me, they are the greatest generation.                                                                                    

People of that Great Generation were born between 1901 and 1927;
men like my father, born in 1905; women like my mother, born in 1927.
They either fought on the front lines of war, or equipped others to fight.
They held back the evil forces of tyrants and rebuilt the world we inhabit.
After the war, they populated their world with the likes of boomers like me.

My parents and their peers teamed up to equip me to navigate life,     
teaching me and my peers to look up and not look back; to close the        
gate and go forward. Their names will never grace the pages of a history  
book or The  New York Times, but neither their descendants nor the halls      of heaven will forget their contributions.                                

And they, like the first settlers who left the old world in early 1600, never looked back. Yes, it's true that their greatness does not come with accolades, confetti, and notoriety. Notwithstanding, ever hopeful, they quietly released their kids to the winds, praying that they would soar like the eagles.

THE NEED TO GET IT RIGHT

for everyday God wakes you up 
He's giving you another chance 
A new day, a new way
to change your circumstance 

for every morning you wake up
and see a new daylight 
its a new opportunity 
for you to get it right

stop moaning and groaning 
go fight the good fight 
the adversary is waiting in the wings 
in the darkness of night 

for every morning you wake up 
and see a new daylight 
it's a new opportunity 
for you to get it right 

read your Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth 
live by the covenant God promised 
since the day of your rebirth 
God is on your side
this battle is not just yours 
put on His full armor and wield 
the Spirit of the Sword 

as living by itself can be a major task
trust in God then do whatever He asks

God will outfit you with 
His righteousness and might 
and equip you 
with means to get it right 

for every morning you wake up
to see a new daylight 
it's a new opportunity 
for you to get it right 

don't veer from your destiny 
adhere to the path God did choose 
It might be a rougher road less travelled 
but what have you got to lose 

for every morning you wake up 
to see a new daylight 
it's a new opportunity 
for you to get it right

God is on your side, 
this battle is not just your 
Put on His full armor and wield 
the Spirit of the Sword 

remember God will protect you 
and keep you always in His sight 
be diligent in His mission for you 
with the need to get it right

for every morning you wake up 
to see a new daylight 
it's a new opportunity 
the need to get it right

for every morning you wake up
to see a new daylight
remember it's a new opportunity 
with the need to get it right

Destined For Greatness

for such a time as this of political upheaval and economic uncertainty
how does anyone go about determining what is their God-given destiny?
what is our purpose in the grand scheme of God's desires?
what is it from us that the Lord Our God requires?

God gave each of us life for a reason
and will call upon each of us in due season
there will be some sacrificing and moving out of comfort zones
just remember that whatever God asks of you, you won't have to do it alone
for the battle is not just yours it also belongs to the Lord
and God won't let you write a check that you cannot afford

God will move you to a place and then give you an obstacle to overcome
but through Jesus you have the victory so consider the battle won
just trust in God to give you all that you will need
so that His set purpose for your life will come to seed

like Queen Esther, Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth and Rosa Parks
women destined for greatness who were beacons in society's dark
they did what was necessary for the greater good
to put the needs of others before their own as we all should
they stood up and confronted the so-called powers that be
in righteous indignation in order to save humanity

so let God position you where you'll prosper and be strong
and then use you as a vessel to make right a wrong
it might not make much sense to you and you might even disagree
but God knows what's best when it comes to determining your destiny

so just say yes to any and all that of you God does ask
and believe unconditionally that He'll equip you for the task
and as long as you remain resilient in your resolve
between you and God the situation will get solved

destined for greatness as mothers, mentors, lawyers or teachers
destined for greatness as activists, doctors, scientists or preachers
it matters not the capacity nor the career for you that God did choose
we're women destined for greatness and as children of God we cannot lose
