Premium Member Ode For Each Soldier

“Brave men rejoice in adversity, just as brave soldiers triumph in war.”


A warm hand salute to each brave soldier
Who courageously fights in each battle
Willingly waging sweet life to conquer
Our precious freedom, the land’s wealth-mantle 
You’re great angel saving homes and nations  
Noble hero, making our fears dwindle
God-sent warrior with a valiant soul  
With gifts... worthy beyond admiration 
And your strength is our life’s brightest candle 
While your faithful will-power leaves foe’s fall. 

A deep gratitude to each brave army
For highborn mission, leaves a family 
Enduring the pains of great sacrifice
A medal of valor seems can’t suffice
You offer your life for all your brethren
With unparalleled love, help and kindness
You work hard, sunshine or rain at war zones
Your enormous pillar is in heaven
You’re a wolf guarding us with readiness
Under the moonlight with your blest weapons

Great appreciation dear warrior
Soldier or army at battlefield’s core
We owe you freedom, peace and victory
Without you, nations stay in misery
An honor for soldier in some ways too
Such as oppression-fighter and others
Each unwavering spreader of God’s words
Doing all the best for His love so true 
To those who fight for good are God’s soldiers
They're protected-- strength is from the Lord

2 Timothy 2:3-4
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

Premium Member Soldiers of Christ

Warriors of righteousness, they are the Christ’s soldiers*
Persistently marching on with God’s might steadfastly
Standing midst adversities, they fight thru faith’s strength
Verily empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Upholding Scriptural standards of holiness
They lift up decency-banner loftily high
Battling against evils of immorality
Honouring their great Commander’s exalted name.

Fear of the unknown does not intimidate them
Believing that God knows best by His omniscience
As they acknowledge their human infirmities
Their trust in the Almighty conquers every doubt.

Superiority complex does not grip their heart
While in serving, they exercise humility
Never allowing arrogance-domination
With their complete surrender to the Lord’s control.

*2Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

Premium Member Who makes things work?

When things don't work, I panic
I call the plumber or the mechanic
the electrician, or appliance repairman
without them I would despair, Man.

I can't fix my bike when it blows a tire
To be competent is a dream to which I aspire
But I was born all thumbs, and though I read tomes
When it comes to troubleshooting, I'm no Sherlock Holmes.

So I respect the people who make things work
But I wonder if in our government such people lurk.
Could politicians change a light bulb, fix a car?
splice a broken wire, get my bike to go far?

Could I trust my mayor as a babysitter
Or for that matter, a sweater knitter?
Can a college student clean a dorm?
Are mindless slogans the new norm?

When the power goes out, and it gets cold
Will we find a bill of goods that we've been sold?
Do we use the same criteria to trust an orator
That we do when hiring someone to wallpaper a corridor?

My Dad was told I'd make a good soldier, because I looked strong
My Dad winced and said "Sir, you got that wrong"
Maybe I could be a writer, or maybe wash the floor
Can someone shoe me how to mop? for help I must implore.

Tears of frustration!
Shed out of angst and exasperation
Exposing war's fatigue due to martyrdom exhaustion…
Soldier of valor, marching on despite persecution---
--- I acknowledge your persistence toward attainment of genuine liberation.

Defying rigors of battle for true friendship
Burst due to agonizing distress to ensure relationship…

The Morning Heat

Morning keeps transitioning into morning and daylight keeps shouting into my face, the weather is gasping for breath and the temperature is pulling sweat out my gut. 

 I watch the sun rising beyond the mountains with warm sentiment hanging loose as it made its way to the center of the skies and spread its heat on the passersby. 

It is a form of heat that no one can bear; it drains your energy and ruins your appetite and send worms crawling in your empty stomach.  

I can still feel this intense energy moving around the town; it is the magnetic energy that propels the magnetic field around, the radiation level is high and the electric waves are vibrating in the sky and I don’t have any time to die. 

The barn yard animals are sound asleep but the rooster keeps disrupting the hens sleep, it is poking its beak in hens back and keeps pulling off its feather frock. The cats and dogs were just on time to save the hens from the nuclear divide. 

The morning keeps revolving around me, the pulling the energy out of me. I can hear the vessels rolling in the sea carrying tons of gifts for you and me. 

Missiles are pounding in the air and rockets are creating holes in the ground that look like feathers and crowns. 

 Everyone gathers around staring into the dry creators in the ground, while the fishermen in the sea came back to shore after the missiles damage the side of their boats. 

The morning keeps floating above me and the sun began to burn the air sending whispers everywhere.

 And the mountain goats with horns like bulls exit from the mountain like a good soldier should and the heat continues to penetrate the asphalt in the street. 

I stood behind the tree and watch the universe melts in the third degree while the superior  man with weakness in his field send reinforcement  everywhere to strengthen his  depleted army.

But neither time or place knows when the battle for the soul is complete and the metal on the earth will transform into dirt.

Daddy Dementia

My daddy forgot my name
Long before he died
Although he always kept
That twinkle in his eye 

They call it dementia 
But I myself call it hell
For all that we went through
And just how bad it felt

I watched him walk around
As he picked on walls
Trying his very best
At wiping something off 

I still wonder to this day
What it is he thought
In his imaginary space
Or if he thought at all

Life brought to him the battle
And to life he brought the fight 
But as any good soldier knows
There will come a time

Where in the heat of war
There is no winning side
It takes away the best in life
Whether you live or you die

I wish he was here to tell
How much I'm missing him
But I missed my daddy
Long before he left

Sit Down, They Say

sit down

they tell me

sit down

calm that voice

calm that spirit voice

thats wants to revolutionize

and change hateworld

calm that love

calm that spirit, they say

fearing day of love

fearing reckoning of truth

sit down

sit down they say

sit down they say

sit your thoughts down

sit your love down

sit your truth down

they say

they want to sit the truth down

they want to shut the truth up

I will not sit down

I will stand

I will stand erect and proud

like a lovesoldier that I am

searching for truth eternal

too moral

to hold

too moral to keep down

too moral to keep silent

do not tell me to stand

I will stand guard like a good soldier

I will stand.

An Allegory of My Life

7 Aug 08 1:00 PM 

I once thought I had awaken from a dream.
I bolted upright and let out scream!  
I ran from my bed and out the front door jumped into my boat and grabbed for the oars.  
I rowed down the street and took a left on main and lost one oar cause it stuck in a drain.  
But I kept on rowing as hard as I could round in a circle like a good soldier should.  
I never gave up and I didn’t quit, until my last oar in two halves it split. 

Then I really woke up and realized the dream and pondered all day just what it 
might mean.  
In life we hurry and worry so much, we don’t even take time to finish our lunch.  
I’ve got to do this I’ve got to do that, take care of the dogs take care of the cats.  
I’ve got to go here I’ve got to go there.  
I know my keys are here hiding somewhere.  
Around and around where I’m going I don’t know.  
I’ve worked  and worked and have so little to show. 
But then my oar broke and I finally stopped and out of that boat I came with a hop! 

My head has quit spinning and now I can see, 
My purpose my treasures. . . . are God and my family

Premium Member Warrior Chant

Committed to stay triumphant all day
Warrior am I in the fight for what’s right
Steadfast as champion along winning way 
Marching toward victory with God’s might.

Amidst struggles to protect freedom’s best
Against dominion of invading fear
Girded am I with peace-armor’s finest
Geared to vanquish terror of hate-filled tear.

With faith in the Almighty Who grants grace
My soul rejoices to raise my flag high
I face my foes, enabled  by Christ’s brace
Conquering well till final battle draws nigh.

Now to the war zone I fully embark 
Soldier* am I bringing hope’s fiery spark.
 
*2 Timothy 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Christ.
