THEY SAID HE HAD A POOR ATTITUDE
HE WAS A SORE LOSER
A PERSON WHO TRAINED HARD
AND FOLLOWED COACHES INSTRUCTION
BUT WOULD SELDON TAKE DEFEAT IN STRIDE
HE WAS SEEN BY HIS FOOLOW COMRADS AS
A PERSON YOU WANT ON YOUR SIDE
BUT YOU DIDN'T WANT TO COMPETE DIRECTLY WITH HIM
BECAUSE HE LACKED A MORAL SENCE OF OBLIGATION
HE WHIND LIKE A BRAT.
HE'D CAUSE HIS PARTNERSHIPS TO LACK FOCUS
HE'D OFTEN BE SEEN WITH
FOES OF HIS FREINDS
CAUSING THEM TO NEVER REALLY TRUST HIM
HE LACKED A SENSE OF DIRECTION
AND WHEN THOSE WHO SAW COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS
WOULD BENEFIT BOTH
HE'D DO SOMETHING TO CAUSE VICTORY: BUT HE LACKED
THE STAY-IT-IST THAT TEAM WORK NEEDS
TO HAVE A COHESIVE GELLING.
WE CELEBRATED HIM AS BEST IN THE WORLD
THIS WAS DONE WHEN HE BECAME THE
FIVE TROPHY CHAMPION DEFEATING
A MAN WHO WAS SMARTER, TALLER, FASTER, MORE AGILE
AND SOME SAID MORE CUNNING.
HE SAW PAST HIS FAULTS AND DECIDED HE WAS THE BEST IN THE WORLD
AND ALL HE NEEDED TO DO WAS DEFEAT THE CHAMPION TO DO SO.
HE DID: SEVERAL PEOPLE WISHED HIM DEFEATED
THEY CONSORTED, PLOTTED, SCHEMED, AND EVEN CHALLENGED HIM
BUT ONE MAN SAID HE WAS EQUAL IN STANDINGS TO
THE MAN THE WORLD CALLED CHAMPION. a FELLA THAT REPRESENTED THREE COMPANIES AS CHAMPION, WON HIS SIXTH CHAMPIONSHIP FUSSING THE TITLES CREATING
A NEW NAME FOR HIS REPRESENTATION. SIX COMPANIES CALLED HIM CHAMPION,
HE REFUSE TO DEFEND THE BELTS SEPARATELY, AND HE
PUT IN HIS CONTRACT UNLESS HIS COMPANIES WOULD FULLY TRY ON NATIONAL TELEVISION TO SUPPORT HIS EFFORTS AS THE ONLY
AND TRUE COMBINED CHAMPION, HE WOULD FORFEIT THE TITLES CAUSING ALL SIX COMPANIES TO HAVE TO DEVELOP TOURNAMENTS.
WELL IT WORKED
SOMEONE SAW A PROFIT IN WHAT WAS HAPPENING
AND 11 COMPANIES CAN TOGETHER FOR ONE NIGHT IN COSTA RICO.
THEY CALLED THE EVENT
"NTAEUS'S CROWNING" THE MAIN EVENT WAS CALLED CROWNING ARTAEUS" THEY WRESTLED FOR 56:59 MINUTES WHEN THE TIME KEEPER RANG THE BELL.
HIS CLOCK HAD BEEN OFF SET. SOME CITED INTERFERENCE. bUT THE TIMEKEEPER HAD BEEN SWORN TO A CERTAIN LEVEL OF MORAL CODING.
BOTH CHAMPIONS THINK THE BOUT WAS AT A DRAW WERE SUPRISED TO HEAR, THE THE ATHLETIC COMMISSION SPEAK THE WORDS aNTAEUS vECTOR" WHICH MEANT A RESOLUTION HAD TO BE MADE. THEY DECIDED ON A TEN MINUTE CONTEST.
BOTH COMATANTS WRESTLED TO A DRAW.
For who is God, but the Lord?
the God of wonders who is glorious
He the rock of ages never fails
always striding forth so victorious
This God brought me His strength
making blameless the route of my way
pointing me in His sure direction
proving to myself this God my stay
My feet God's made like dear's feet
took me up high setting myself secure
gives training so my hands are warlike
and ready for all it takes to endure
My Lord has given me salvation's shield
with His right hand there for support
receiving the Lord's gentleness makes me great
so my steps didn't slip standing in God's court
Fighting my enemies overtaking them
turning never back till they're beat
deal with them so they'll never rise
falling down right under my feet
God equipped only with His strength
so I'll be able to defeat those that oppose
they hated God's own but they fell
under God's power came upon His foes
(For who is God, but the Lord?
And who is a rock, except our God?—
the God who equipped me with strength
and made my way blameless.
He made my feet like the feet of a deer
and set me secure on the heights.
He trains my hands for war,
so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
You have given me the shield of your salvation,
and your right hand supported me,
and your gentleness made me great.
You gave a wide place for my steps under me,
and my feet did not slip.
I pursued my enemies and overtook them,
and did not turn back till they were consumed.
I thrust them through so that they were not able to rise;
they fell under my feet.
For you equipped me with strength for the battle;
you made those who rise against me sink under me.
You made my enemies turn their backs to me,
and those who hated me I destroyed.)
Psalm 18: 31-40 (ESV)
Deceitfully lurking
in the guise of nostalgic surge
s e n t i m e n t a l i t y
arrogantly lingers
along perceived sensible reminiscences...
Persisting to dominate
over carnal mind*
s e n t i m e n t a l i t y
poisons thoughts
in defiance to reality
yet, such is denied with hypocrisy's pride …
Afflicting soul
with gloom ---
s e n t i m e n t a l i t y
leaves soul lamenting
midst loathsome guilt
feasted upon by despair and hopelessness….
By the Saviour's grace,
now triumphantly praising the Lord
spirit in fervent communion with God
prevails over and above s e n t i m e n t a l i t y
for functional memory-reverberation
beyond the mockery of the foes: self, world and the devil.
*Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.

CIRLCLE OF LOVE AND SELF-REGARD:
Here's now a real prevised time...
Some people only get you grimed,
Since you don't disclose your plans,
For them to know what's on your mind.
Even if you accept to at least opine,
You sagely do that through a mime.
And they see it as a very wicked blow,
That you opt and unpredictably throw.
Which makes them grow insanely cold.
Hence, they unwisely become your foes,
Who always try to kill your beautiful soul,
As they unnecessarily stand to oppose.
But they don't get to know your goals,
That you've kept in a well covered bowl.
Truly, as you work manificently to grow,
They assume you to be acting saucy,
Though you don't stay by being flossy.
Yet, whenever you decide to speak,
You're being tagged as a rebel on heat.
So it's good you've been able to decide,
To intelligently move in the best line.
With regard to your mind and heart,
By holding yourself deeply with trust,
In the circle of love and self-regard.
In my mind’s backstreets lurks Miss Insistence
Pushing self-interest and preference
Questioning my worshipful reverence:
“Are you staying in the Lord’s residence
As immune from sin-virus’ decadence?”
With angst trying to prevail in my heart
My mind welcomes Mr. Deceit’s sham art
Magnifying pride with arrogance-dart
Mocking my yielded soul to God’s rampart
As if saying “You’re wrong right from the start.”
Mrs. Doubt attacks my faith’s fortitude
Challenging intellectual attitude
Jeopardizing jubilant gratitude
So, I can’t soar beyond praise altitude
As my mind jeers, “Oh, what grand beatitude!”
Striving for bliss-filled, bursts with laughter-glee
I, from life grievous pressures, dare to flee
While Sister Mirth lingers in my mind’s spree
Saying, “Show countenance beauty, stress-free
Of delightful fruits from contentment-tree.”
By God’s victory, I aim to prevail
Despite Misery Woes-Foes which assail
My soul seeks the Lord Who hears my wail
Sharing His love and kindness that don’t fail…
In the backstreets of my mind*, God I hail!
*1Peter 1:13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

Nature nurture
The argument of psychology
yet what made Hitler
become the man
What made Hitler
become the racist
what made Hitler
become the murderer
Millions died
in concentration camps
millions died
on the battlefields of france
Yet What made Hitler?
The Great depression, Germany
the breeding ground of poverty
the struggle to survive
Hitler an orphan
His father died
when Hitler was just thirteen
His mother died
When he became eighteen
money, the inheritance
left behind
used on medical expenses
Poverty the breeding ground of hatred
life became a struggle to survive
days of hunger build hatred
desire
Darwin his theories of evolution
eye's watching the animal kingdom
the strongest do survive
Ideas of science shaped the German thoughts
The concept of the aryan race
came from science
the concept of the perfect race
came from science
Soldier's are taught to kill
Hitler fought in the first world war
taught to take the lives of others
combine the mixing pot of evil
necessity
the mother of invention
to build a better country
ideas grow with the stupidity of man
Marx the father of communism
Jewish newspapers supporting his views
Social Democracy the rising red fist
attempted to force Hitler to join
When he refused
they used violence to force him out of his job
Hit the man and you build hatred
communism attacking his country
Hitler blamed the Jews
Marx was Jewish
Jewish writers supported his views
Hitler blamed the entire race
Racism showed it ugly face
the building blocks of hatred
interwoven with his own
interpretation
Introspection
sometimes we learn
from what we're told
sometimes we create
our own opinions
Nature is genetic
emotional pre-distributions
talent aptitude and health
nurture is environmental
parents strangers friends and foes
yet we also learn from ourselves
introspection belief and denial
I don't like Hitler
I don't like war
but we can all learn
from watching how others develop
poverty is the breeding ground
for hatred
take away the breeding ground
and perhaps we can build a world of love
Behind the war are His thoughts
thoughts shaped by education
thoughts shaped by science
thoughts shaped by racism
September 21 Scripture Meditations Based on Mark 4-6
Key Verse– Mark 6:50 For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.
MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR CHEERING ME UP
Thank You for cheering me up in my pain
Caused by sinfulness-sting of transgression-stain…
You are my great Healer, granting wholeness’ gain
Truly, Your salvation-ointment is never in vain.
Thank You for cheering me up in my shame
Caused by pride’s embarrassment and blame…
You are my merciful Encourager with pursuit of forgiveness’ aim
Truly, Your humility exemplifying meekness is always aflame.
Thank You for cheering me up in my ache
Caused by hypocrisy’s pretension, deceitfully fake…
You are my merciful Encourager giving me courageous shake
Truly, Your rebuking chastisement is ready to wake.
Thank You for cheering me up in my shock
Caused by worldliness’ smiting knock…
You are my wise Designer against confusion’s lock
Truly, Your quality standard is a perfection-rock.
Thank You for cheering me up in my woes
Caused by persecutions from attacking foes…
You are my mighty Defender, shielding me from perilous blows
Truly, Your protecting safeguard is a fortress as to You I draw close.
Thank You for cheering me up in my pouts
Caused by discontentment, worries and doubts…
You are my ready Provider with bountifulness’ shouts
Truly, Your abundant satisfaction is away from crises’ routes.
Thank You for cheering me up in my guilt
Caused by trespasses’ filthy silt…
You are my gracious Transformer with goodness-built
Truly, Your kindness-charge is free from evil’s tilt or wilt.

I don’t need a passport, visa, or any identification,
When I am going to heaven.
No suitcase, or even toothpaste.
Everything will stay behind,
Because where I’m going I need nothing.
When the trumpet blows,
And we hear His call,
Up, up we will go.
In the air, we will meet Him there.
Open arms He will welcome us.
Don’t stress if you are left behind,
And look but cannot find us,
We will come back.
When the angels and saints and their King,
Come marching in, you feel the tremble.
When we hit the ground.
Maybe you will be our friend,
Or stand on the opposite end.
At the battleground of Armageddon.
With one snap of His fingers,
The war will be won.
Bye, bye to the prince of darkness,
Down, down, he and his minions go,
With all my Saviour’s foes
He will cast them into hell,
And take up His rightful throne, in Jerusalem.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem our new home.
Where all the saints and their King,
Will live in peace and harmony.
One nation we will be.
A new earth we will receive.
A new world order.
The world today is full of hate.
Those who choose hate have sealed their fate.
The poison which their hearts infill
will drip by drip these haters kill.
Hate makes the heart an acid core,
like a volcano, ready to pour,
and spew its content in the air,
harming those foes who may be near.
Not only does the acid burn,
the enemies that haters spurn.
Their souls are destroyed in turn,
by the hate that in them churn.
The Anti-Social Media craze
makes it appear as if hate pays.
Hating has become the new fad,
of people who are sad and mad.
Jesus taught us to love our foes,
and loving, was the path He chose.
So, pour out the poison of hate,
and love your foes as you do a mate.
What a big difference it will make
If all, the path of love will take.
The world would become a safer place,
transformed by love’s true healing grace.
Ewe is a sweet, playful gifted sheep
Who seldom goes to shed to sleep.
She loves to explore all around
Doing lot of things that’ll astound.
She goes far without losing her way
She always comes back another day.
She kisses everyone with her gentle nose
She’s tame and amiable, gaining no foes.
She’s bleating in a lovely rhythmic tune
Her Baa Baa Black Sheep gives a fortune.
She learns the melody from her shepherd
Who always sings with his parrot bird.
All farm animals show her safe roads to go
Her best friends are Baa-Baa, Billy and Moo.
She’s so humble and faithful to everyone
Recognizing her shepherd as number one.
She’s too keen, loyal with strong senses
Leading her back to her flock’s fortress.
