My Thoughts

life has it's ups and downs
it's highs and lows
with it comes a lot of crap
but what's most crappy?

Action speaks louder than words
now thats crap.
when you are in a mess 
and four men are set to give you stress
only words can placate their vex.

To err is human, to forgive is divine.
iI know men that make it an habit to err
all their faults, in one day they bring to bare.
When they say sorry
you should be worrried
cos when your back is turned
your heart they shall surely burn.

Old wine tastes better
i have never heard a sillier chatter.
Give me bitters, ale or lager
whiskey, cognac, all even the better
inebriation the sole aim
whatever the taste am game.

Your vote is your voice, let it count.
I can't even be cynical on this
their's always count more.

The patient dog eats the fattest bone.
My ***** just had a litter
and with every litter their is a sickler
he was the grunt of the squealers
he never got to mama's breast on time
and with time he died
a bone, he never had to dine.

Dress the way you want to be addressed.
It was visiting day at the prisons
on came a nun brighter than the sun
pious in body and soul, her gait straighter than a pole
she left their third leg rigid
am not kidding.

Every disappointment is a blessing in disguise.
Now this is no lie
am still trying to figure out who was behind the mask
when i got robbed on pay day.

A stich in time saves nine
I love this line.
when you try to take what is mine
believe me it wont be fine
even when you run to the court and get a fine
I will cut you up to bits.
and the stiches wont be nine.

The pen is mightier than the sword
reader, the above is one hell of a crap word.
when am with my big gun
you better drop your pen, cower and run.

Every day is for the theif, one day is for the owner
this is a no brainer.
The governor embezzled our money and left
he got all the praises... you should know the rest.

Make hay while the sun shine's
this should shed some light.
it was Norway inthe middle of the night
when the morrow came, there was still no light.
Make hay while the sun shines
is one hell of a crap.
cos when it should be lihht,
the sun is never in sight.

Let sleeping dog lie
i tell you no lie.
When all your Mutt does is to sleep and eat
when burglars come in to take and keep
you let the ungrateful beast suffer a bit.


By Their Sorceries

The sword of truth there is nothing hidden                                                        that shall not be made known                                                                            I repent of believing lies and seeing                                                           wrong in my brothers eyes                                                                            Two wrongs never make a right                                                                      to err is human to forgive is divine                                                             Playing with the wrong fire could forever burn                                           Calling the cold ghost out of darkness into the true light                                 False ways always dismay I hope you don’t fall away                                      The slayer broken upon its own beak the truth you should seek                                                       I don't want to repeat the mistake the same way or see my brother weak        within in your fanciful feasts you glory in false fires                                     Praying to false horns and drinking a wicked mead                                     listening to lying cries of Valkyrie                                                             Calling the cold ghost out of darkness into the true light                           Witchcraft and rebellion walk hand in hand                                                     Lord Jesus open their eyes deliver us from the power of lies                            Thank you for forgiveness of sins and the inheritance                                 among them that sanctified by Your faith that is in You The Amen  Rev 18:23 And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the voice                                                                               of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee:                                          for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries                                                 were all nations deceived.

Mona Lisa Could See 2 of 2

Drop picture till six
The land like Pokémon kills
Nearing a tornado’s kiss?

Lift picture to three
The earth seems a lot different
 And looks extreme wilderness!

Turn picture upward
Rapid rivers dash inward
Floods hit mountains and stumble! 
 
See Ottoman cries!
Its history in Palestine
Breaks loudly a hurting cry!

Until the see twirls
Syrian shores to Lake Err!
 In one tsunami fits in!

Turn picture around
Look at it from the back side
Night time is facing big sigh!

Walk around clockwise
Walk around counter clock’s wise
What’s the difference at bright?

Look carefully at
While standing behind that
Her shoulders and her two arms

South America?
Thirst for the Atlantic’s tap
See a side face that had trapped?

Is there another mountain?
Leaking black gas surrounding
Happy carnival, walking? 

See the dancing sleeves?
While wild fire nears the streets
On her leaning arm as seen?

The plate is moving!
South America swimming?
The south is wetting valleys!

Would waters sink in?
Reaching Amazon’s region
From the forest’s province?

Incline her to three
See volcano born from sea?
Crafting her right cheek’s sad fear?

Is it Gibraltar?
Suddenly speaks, spreads horror
Causing Mona Lisa’s shock?

Tilt her down to six
See Morocco’s beaches quick?
Nearing the west in a blink?

Or causing that lint
To near Africa’s dark flint?
Marrying mounts in a blink?

Prop to quarter till
Watch! The height of the waves bring
Over Mona’s head curving!

Prop her upward to
See again what had done to
See fire rocks drop next to!

Is she hugging babe?
Alive or faint but looks dead?
Leaning on her charm screen scared?

She’s holding a rose!
Or holding one stem of corn?
Looks like child’s hand overall!

Near a villager’s 
Boat on top of the mountain
Does sail or drifts to go float?

But, a pyramid
More likely to look amid
Mountain tops and gardens’ bits!

Spin picture right this
Minute, a serpent showing
Behind two wed couples’ kiss!

Aruba under 
Her nose moving to northeast
Survives a great flood beneath!

Walk ahead the screen
See Mona is still weeping
For two thousand twelve... searching!
By: Nadia F. Shahwan – April 2009.  Note: This is an innocent discovery to analyze the 
beauty of the famous Mona Lisa by Van Gogh.

Wisdom Is a Gift

A little boy sits alone, with a world before him to explore
soon this boy grows up, not that same little boy as before
when reaching adulthood, feeding his curiosity becomes his goal
but he has not yet learned, true wisdom to maintain that control

Now a young teenager in a crowd, he senses he’s different and feels sad
so he inquires of others, and is given answers that to him just don't add 
not long after this young man marries, happy and with a family of his own
he becomes overwhelmed with this depression, and feels like he is all alone

The challenges of marriage were too much, on him taking their toll
reaching that point many of us get to, he begins searching his soul
in time a transformation takes place, a degree of serenity he finds 
his life slowly becomes focused, confidence and belief now shines

How many of us at one time or another, fall into this melancholy and start to wonder 
is it possible that we were so deaf and blind, unaffected even from the noise of 
thunder
all our lives heaven sent us those messages and signs, to wake us, from this our 
slumber
yet we chose to satisfy our materialistic desires, priorities on our list, each with a 
number

Skeptics and scoffers evade the logic of their folly, ignoring the truth hidden from 
within
unwilling to change their ways, acknowledging this truth means having to admit 
their sin
they err lacking the knowledge, G-d does not treat us severely when we repent 
while alive
but if we fail to mend our ways, love and forgiveness, for ourselves alone do we 
deprive

I learned this lesson myself many years ago, praying for direction from the One 
above
never again to put my faith in man, I was rewarded with the wisdom of truth my 
true love
wisdom is within the reach of all, patiently awaiting those willing to drink and draw 
near
with but one condition which all must follow, to acquire true wisdom, sin you must 
fear

Where there is fear of sin, there is enlightenment, and wisdom has a place to call 
home
without fear you cannot control yourself, unhindered, your evil inclination is free to 
roam
your hopes and desires they can really be achieved, but remember to always remain 
true
that road to ultimate happiness, is to acquire that wisdom, a gift understood by so 
few

Camptown Races Or Eh, That's a Joke, Son!

"Camptown Races sing this song, Do Dah! Do Dah!"
( sung incessantly by a certain, unique rooster.)

Henry Hawke: ( Sung to Holly Jolly Christmas:)
" I'll be there and back by sunset.
  There's a chicken there for me!
  Mom and Dad will be proud, you bet!
  when a chicken, they'll see!"

Henry: ( Sung to Arkansas Traveler:)
" I think that there's a chicken, yes, indeed!
  No need to check, that's a chicken, yes, siree!
  I know that that's a chicken , yes, indeed!
  Even though he has a snout for pecking at the seed!"

POW! ( cue woozy music.)

Barnyard Dog:
Hey, wait a minute, kid!
Have you flipped your lid!"

Henry:
" I hit you a good one and I'm the winner!
  Now come along with me! You're what's for dinner!"

Barnyard Dog:
" Eh, kid.. I'm a dog, don't you get it!
  Now, scram! Before I make you regret it!"

" Camptown races, sing this song..
  I say , I say.. it's not the words,
  son, it's the song
  It kind of.. eh, moves me along, err.."

Henry: 
" Oh, the shame!
  The family name!
  Life for me will never be the same!"

Barnyard Dog:
" Someone's given you the bum steer!"
He looks at Henry crying.
" Kind of gets you right here..
  Tell ya, what, kid!
  I'll give you a real clucker with all the feathers!
  Now listen to me, the sooner the better.." Pss. psst. pss..

"Camptown Races, Uhh, oh, I say, I say..
 What do we have here?!
 An unholy alli, alli alli, joining together.
 and the word is ..Beware!"
 I say, son!
 What are, what are you doing here
 in my little slice of paradise?!"

Henry:
"Ehh, Mister Cock-a-Doodle Doo..
 I'd turn around if I were you!"

"Heh, heh heh..
Obviously, this boy believes
that I was born yesterday
if not the day before!
Let me lead him on a little more.."

"Just what am I supposed to see, there, ehh, son?
The rising moon? The setting sun? Heh, Heh, Heh.."
BAM!
"I, I, I think I've been way layed.
I, I, better look for some shade.."
PLOP!
"That boy's got more nerve than a bum tooth!
ehh, that's a joke, son!
Miss Prissy! My my time has come too soon!"
Eeee, THUD!
Henry and Barnyard Dog( together.):
"Geez, What a maroon!"
Cue the Looney Tunes end music.
(" Eer.. That's your cue, son!")
" Can't find no good cartoon help these days!" THUD!
 
THAT'S ALL FOLKS!

Premium Member ''To Err Is Human: To Forgive, Divine''--Alexander Pope

African-American and abusive, my late step-dad 
     was a reverse racist:
an army sergeant; a Vietnam vet; and, a backhand,
     face-hitting sadist.

I once bemoaned that I was a white child
     (as if it were my fault!?)
and that he was black and resentful of me.
     So, once in reckless revolt

against his ongoing abuse,
     I rebelled under my breath
and uttered the "n" word at him
     (so he beat me nearly to death).

Bruised, I never uttered that word again;
     then mom and he divorced
as I grew older (which freed us at last!):
     now unrivaled (with no remorse),

I suddenly was the man of the house; and life
     for us seemed less stormy.
For the first time in years we lived without abuse;
     and, at last, we were a family.

Then I got religion and met God;
     and gave myself to Christ.
It was the best thing I ever did!
     Born again, I thus was sufficed.

So the scars of my step-dad's abuse which
     for years I had repressed
began to heal and disappear; and so I became
     less and less oppressed.

Now old, my erstwhile step-dad developed
     advanced swelling of the lung;
I had not forgiven him yet (back when
     I was still angry and young).

Not yet able to forgive him for the abuse that
     made our lives so unbearably grim,
I nevertheless still realized that the weight 
     of still having hatred for him 

was far worse than my pain. I recognized 
     that in life we all transgress 
and come short of God's glory: so, moved by
     His grace and forgiveness,

I made the right choice to forgive him;
     for me a daily, ongoing process,
I at last began to let go of the anger 
     and truly begin to move past the mess
 
that was my step-dad's legacy to me. Also, I  
     began to forgive God;
for He was not to blame for him (whose own
     father, too, did not spare the rod).

Still, tho' I had chosen to forgive (him) and let go,  
     he was unmoved and unchanged as ever:
but I, however, realized that what truly mattered
     was that forgiveness set me free forever!

When at last he died, I had already completely
     let go (so that he was forgiven).
Now I can only ask of God whether my step-dad
     was changed from his glimpse of heaven?

Free Cee Come On Man Get To the Joint

COME ON MAN, GET TO THE JOINT
Listen man……..
here is an indisputably effective plan
And this is the fundamental God given point
So at once dash out that flaming joint
Without hesitation
Sans equivocation
Minus mitigation
Simply inhale and initiate the following information
Our Lord advises us all to seek vengeance not
And to follow his piousness and the perfection of His plot
Let no man bring you to your knees
In favor of adhering to what the Holy Bible decrees
Over and over and over once more
When a man does you wrong those are actions one must ignore
Seven multiplied by seventy times
Let no man command you unto the cruelty of countless crimes
Because I’m telling you man precisely what you need to know
Simply justly and swiftly let it go
“Turn the other cheek”
Well to me that is difficult to comprehend God speak 
Words and their meanings of which I understand little to nil
Because forgiving a man who does me wrong is too bitter a pill
A tablet my anger will never be sworn unto swallow
Because I will always own and was born with a heart too hollow
And shall swear scorn unto the man who does me wrong
Since my desire to never forgive will forever be far too strong
So I allow vengeance to reside within my soul
Which thus turns my heart into sedimentary coal
And darkens me more with each passing hour
For I possess not the piousness nor the power
Neither the means in any manner to forgive
For so long as I, a sinner, shall live
Will I ne’re allow a man to err in what I feel he should do
While with certainty it will be curses my mouth shall surely spew
And promises of damnation will never give way to my forgiving, pardoning nor absolving a man of doing me harm
Until I cut him off at the knees or separate his body from a leg or an arm
His life will be mine to impair……no matter how unfair
Or the destructiveness my anger might breed
I’ll live to see that man beg, plead and then bleed
Because reprisal will finally be mine
And punitive punishment is propagated by my damnable design
Because I was born to disapprove, disregard and definitively disappoint
Okay dude, now, if you still care to, go ahead and re-ignite that joint

Gloria

Gloria

I have always been a lover of art,
So much that I did no harm to any human,
Feared all creation as sacred creatures,
That wait only to shout to God, Gloria!
Gloria to Shembe! Gloria to Shembe! 

Through the windows of my soul,
I think what I see is the beginning of my End.
Every breath I take could have hurt a soul, 
I See the breadth and depth of this call, 
Before I leave, I will tell the whole world, 
That indeed the Holy Spirit He promised us came. 
Gloria! Gloria to Nyazi Lwezulu! Gloria!

Hurting people is not part of the art in my heart, 
But as humans we err, we hurt and we also forgive. 
Gloria to Shembe! Gloria! Gloria to Shembe! 
Where He lead His people, no sin shall advance, 
No grudges and heavy hearts shall advance. 
Gloria to Shembe! Gloria! Gloria to Shembe. 

As once did I arrive, so shall I depart as one. 
To all those that I may have wronged, forgive me. 
To all those I helped, I wish I could see you shine, 
All those who never found in me what they looked for, 
I wished I could be everything to everyone but I couldn’t. 
To all those I never helped, you know I tried and I wished 
My trying could somehow ease your crying. 
Forgive me but forget me not for the good I did. 
In Heaven there I go, I will sing Gloria! Gloria to Shembe! 
Gloria to Christ! I will sing Gloria! Gloria to Shembe. 

Now look with me towards the West, 
God I hope and pray not for the worst. 
My soul has traveled further away from the East, 
Towards there where the sun shines last for the day. 
In the Arms of Shembe is where I weep to belong,
Gloria to Shembe! Gloria! Gloria to Nyazi Lwezulu. 

When winter comes and my gardens are whitened, 
I pray to Shembe my faith is not flattened but heightened
For, He promised us a Home where Angels dwell, 
Where the sun sets not! 
Where joy is the order, praise the manner and worship
The culture. 
Where the sun shines not,
Our eyes are blinded by the passing decaying glamour, 
How so I wish the eyes of my soul be opened so they see, 
The Home! The Home of the Nazarites, 
Where we forever sing, alongside Angels of Light;
Gloria to God! Gloria to Shembe! Gloria to God.

Live In Poverty Again

I will live in poverty again
I will eat less
Warm my home at 55 degrees
I will walk in thrift and dream in commonality again
I will tread gently
Walk faster
Work harder
I will face my tide of want with a greater tide of faith
I will believe in my makers willingness to support me 
and remember that birds are fed and bunnies survive
even when resources are very low
This is but one plane
This is but one place

and still each day is incredibly precious to me!

I will find joy in frugality when the others still swim
in having
I will not resent what I do not have 
I will make celebration of what still exists to me
I will better taste that which I am given to taste
and better value what I am given to have
I will love more gently and kiss more deeply
this life
Embrace me oh poverty as I embrace you
Tread as gently on me as you can
I will be brave
I will not faulter in the face of this your mighty fateful  storm
Because I know 
It is in fact not having that may makes life great 
It is believing in hope and kindness that defines us
We may no longer have 
and yet we are kings, Lords and Ladies 
if we meet adversity with the grace 
 enjoyment of the little joys
and touch others with our simplest acts of kindness
 and generosity
I will walk out on this long thin pier of want 
with the nobility of royalty
for we are crowned and honored on our way
This new land of deeper want!
May I rule my new land with more generosity
not less than I knew in times of plenty

Grant to me God
The dignity to spread joy where err I am able
though I can no longer buy you flowers 
Please see how beautiful the flowers of the field are

May you receive and welcome my humble offerings 
of wild flowers as once you might have welcomed the most expensive array 

Let us ... all of us who face a change of well-being
Be willing to reinvent ourselves in the beauty of simplicity

It does not take money to be a king or queen
It does not take money to be kind
It does not take money to be thoughtful
It does not take money to be happy
It takes the monumental commitment of character to face adversity head-on and drive on 
in joy
Today is still your only guarantee
So give your all today
