My Nascent Poetic Tribute To Black History Month Mini Chap Book 2

though I yam Caucasian,
   tis rightful to honor that most bitter
racist genocidal crime
   nonetheless ovation qua

   quintessential significant contribution
   vis a vis that doth litter
   anonymous multitudinous peoples
   many unknown dark skinned souls

   bravely fought as non quitter
with melanin so coon sitter
   this asthma feeble attempt
   made to mind of literate
   parent, guardian or sitter
adorn aye rhythmically twitter

   to *****Sapiens with Negroid color
   who, despite being human bondage
   managed to adorn
   worthy contributions to society,

though an American (though not so proud)
   and civilization since time immemorial
   hence, I wanna pay poetic homage
   to persons born
akin to diversity exemplifying gamut

   analogous to Indian corn
   debased brutally and forlorn
   and raised in cornucopia horn
of plenty with rare serf tenderness

whipped by wicked task masters
   from the crack of morn,
   aye cannot fathom why
   a great proportion of humanity

must struggle on scraps of subsistence
viz with fifty plus shades of chocolate
   vile shamefully opprobrious sworn
vengeance toward those
via heroic efforts escaped,
 
  
page number 2

   manacled, tortured, et cetera history
   as slaves an existence
until...pacified family dislocated
   sans rent asunder, ripped and torn.

Once a proud family akin to Brady
bunch, now brutally, nasty
   and short lived poorly destitute
   (case in point) like Haiti -
once a nation extant with cultural finery
   insidiously raped "Lady"
lacerated odiously robbing
   unique peoples as owners didst slay
   practically naked "Primates"
   encaged like wild animals in zoos
   culturally robbed while
   abhorrently marched in ones and twos
   shredded souls without shoes
   (analogous to persecuted Jews)
   of singular ambition to break shackles
   though tightly fused
to life as they chose.

Black and blue boo boo bruises courtesy hurled Bobo box

No matter I sustained multiple contusions about the face and neck and minor head concussion after the missus tossed an unopened box of five apple pie stuff'd oat bites in my direction (what got whisked - as clocked by yours truly at lightspeed), nevertheless (whew), no permanent damage prevailed regarding the cherished goods.

While recuperating in the hospital bed,
I decided to craft incident report,
(yet refuse to implicate the missus)
quickly letting fingers
skitter across keyboard
couched with divine intervention,
cuz yours truly nearly got declared dead,
thus the following words quickly typed
before creative juices fled
despite skeptical readers,

who might immediately deduce
that I rightly ought to be
declared out of my talking head
thankful caring empowered
stalwart connections qua invaluable friends
gifted with emergency lifeline when pitted
with suicidal ideations, predilections,
utilizations fostering existential crisis,
hence resilience taught to thwart
self harmful and hurtful modus operandi

thru the dogma, ethos, 
and faith of worthiness
and in remembrance of JED,
(whose founders lost
above mentioned son to suicide),
thus inadvertently halting epidemic,
whereby teens and young adults
offered mental health resources
by building resiliency and life skills,
promoting social connectedness,
and encouraging help-seeking

and help-giving behaviors
through nationally recognized programs,
digital channels, and partnerships,
as well as through the media
spreading the word
to cope against desire to annihilate self
(think nihilistic existentialism)
receiving immediate access
to forge an excellent outlook
reliable material broadcast

across social media platforms
exemplifying and identifying linkedin
ingenious and innovative modus operandi
such as promulgating hotline
flown like the goodyear blimp
videre licet zeppelin made of lead
clearly displaying credo
(which unfortunately never came to my aid -
just another statistic courtesy anorexia nervosa)
summed up as Ned:

A character education program that uses a cartoon character named NED to promote kindness and excellence in schools. NED is an acronym for "Never give up, Encourage others, and Do your best".

Premium Member John the Baptist

*Matthew 3:1-3 “In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea,  And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.  For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.”

Exemplifying the Holy Ghost’s might
Born and nurtured with miracles’ delight
He preached repentance of redemption light…
John the Baptist* fulfilled his divine right.

Exalting Christ with meek attitude’s glow
As Saviour’s forerunner of courage-show
Baptizing the Son amidst blessings flow
“Behold the Lamb of God” he proclaimed so.

Exposing faith-propped martyrdom indeed
He was beheaded for his righteous deed
Defying lustful, selfish, haughty greed
Triumphant till now with his good works’ breed.

Premium Member By the Power of the Lord

By the Lord’s power, buttressed by His authority
We can subdue our own carnality
Toward righteous walk exemplifying genuine spirituality
While consecrated through His holiness’ beauty
Overcoming enticements of lustful vanity
Relying in His Word’s infallibility 
Highlighting divine integrity
Having been redeemed by His grace of compassion-bounty.
 
Through the Lord’s omnipotent tenacity
We can vanquish selfishness’ futility
Toward joyous service of sweet tranquility 
While yielded to His guidance along wisdom-certainty
Learning from Christ’s meekness and humility
Praying with fervency, casting to Him every anxiety
Being upheld against deceit and falsity
Having been strengthened* by His truth’s immutability.

*Psalm 18:32 It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

Premium Member United In God's Unity

United as one person in body, soul and spirit 
Nurtured being of mine abides in the Lord
Imparting me His divine nature of tri-unity
Toward oneness with Him, though unfathomable
Exuding peace, exemplifying love, exposing faith
Devoid of vain selfishness… defying schism against His will---

United as body of Christ to fulfill His great commission
Nourished by His Word are we in His grace and truth
Instructed to advance His kingdom of compassion might
Thankful as called servants, reaching-out for others
Extending God’s goodness, pardon and redemption
Dwelling together*, bonded by the Sovereign unity-Author. 

*Psalm 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Premium Member The Park Bench At Christmas

I’m the park bench, and I’m a witness of varied personalities 
at Christmas time:
Among those I behold with glee are the beautiful ladies, 
endowed by God with well-being’s goodness; 
Bearing His image graciously, they declare the Gospel unashamedly, 
especially the good tidings of peace, brought by the Saviour's birth.

Pleasantly charming with Bible-propped faith, testifying of their saved, secured souls, they exude grand virtuous elegance, dressed in their apparel of modesty.
With loving hearts so ready to reach out, as filled by the Lord’s compassion…
…They do share with joy and give cheerfully, enabled by the Holy Spirit’s might.

I thank God for their lives offered to God, exemplifying Christian traits:
Respected and acknowledged role models, they're admired, and wooed with prayer by suitors as they trust the Supreme Master.
Indeed, they do well while they strive to show this Scripture’s essence:
“Favour is deceitful, …beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, 
she shall be praised” Proverbs 31:30.
