Abiyamo

Infinity 

 

 

He had gone too far
Now she is gone
He sighed

sat back in retrospect

drawing a sarcastic smile

dreading the lifetime scourge

life has saddled on him
He shrieks then moaned

the sounds piercing through him
despite all her pain
spending her own gain

now she is gone
She who unfaltering
fought the heavens

cried to the sun
pledged to the moon

pulled down the stars
tugged the winds
even forfeited to Olodumare

just to carve you a path

now with your feet

fitted with greatness

you stood in ignorant fury

to crush the now tender reed

Alas, the saddened cry
Abiyamo  ooo

Premium Member HEART CREATED STEADFASTLY BY GOD

January 1 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Genesis 1-3 

Key Verse - Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

HEART CREATED STEADFASTLY BY GOD

God creates in us steadfast heart wonderfully
While forming us marvelously
Shaping us amazingly
Filling us against our void, sufficing us abundantly…
We surely thank Him wholeheartedly.

God creates in us steadfast heart with His light
While starting our day right
Making our firmament so bright
Watching us at night…
We really thank Him with faith’s might.

God creates in us steadfast heart every morning
While protecting us in between lunch and evening
Securing us in our sleep’s dreaming and groaning
Keeping us in His goodness of feasting and dining…
We joyously thank Him for His constant intervening.

God creates in us steadfast heart in His image and after His likeness
While prevailing over us by His dominion’s greatness
Blessing us toward multiplying fruitfulness
Subduing our pride through His replenishing gentleness…
We truly thank Him for His graciousness.

God creates in us steadfast heart, giving us product-yielding capacity
While bestowing us with work-diligence ability
Sanctifying us to labour in His field of spirituality
Comforting us in His rest as we cleave to His presence-serenity…
We earnestly thank Him along His gifts’ bounty.

God creates in us steadfast heart, defending us from subtle serpent’s deception
While encompassing us with His assurance-sanction
Pulling us against curses’ destruction
Protecting us from enmity’s sorrow-infliction affliction…
We verily thank Him, praising Him for our soul’s eternal salvation.

God creates in us steadfast heart, ruling over us with His commandment
While propping us from sin-caused miseries by His encouragement
Loving us, calling us with His life-commitment
Placing us in His heart of genuine contentment…
We triumphantly thank Him and His sovereign control every moment.

Premium Member Compared to What

It’s the little things you notice
That make other little things in life shine.
Like an overflowing outhouse somewhere else
Makes the flush toilet at home seem great
And how this little thing
Makes you appreciate the greatness of a life
You may have disparaged out of familiarity.
The bottom line is it can always be worse,
But as our day to day life just gets better,
Softer and more luxurious
It’s easy to see our life as terrible
When others see it as blessed.
So which is it? Whose subjective view?
Beauty, comfort and appreciation,
Is always in the eye of the beholder.
Go with the flow they say,
Appreciate what you’ve got,
Because it can always get worse…

Premium Member PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR LETTING US SEE HIS VISIONS

August 29 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Ezekiel 1-4

Key Verse – Ezekiel 1:1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.

PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR LETTING US SEE HIS VISIONS	

Praise be to God for letting us see His visions:
Exposing us to His expertise of greatness  
Expressing unto us His exalted grandeur
Encouraging us to exhibit gratefulness
Enlightening us to exercise godliness 
Exhorting us exemplify graciousness

Ezekiel 2:4 Praise be to the Almighty for 
His “Thus saith the Lord” that makes us:
Share His secured sanctification-seal

Stand upon His settled salvation-sturdiness
Speak about His steadfast Scripture-strength
Savor His sweet sustenance in our supplication

Ezekiel 3:22 Praise be to the Lord for His hand upon us:
Reaching down to us for our redemption
Responding to us with His replenishing readiness
Reforming us toward our renewal with our revival
Receiving us for our restoration midst our repentance
Restraining us against our refusal, rejection and regrets

Ezekiel 4:13 Praise be to the Saviour for driving us toward:
Persistence upon His purpose with prayers
Perfection along His plan’s presentation
Portrayal of His powerful performance
Productivity by His provision-process
Perseverance through His precepts. Amen!

Remembering
(New Years Day 2017)
Written: by Miracle Man
5-23/2020

A season of year when leaves weren’t falling,
sixteen drips, adorned an infusion pole.
Lifeless I lay, death, my name was calling,
but a loving God chose to make me whole.

But this wasn't where the story would end,
it's became my witness to His greatness.
Of remaining time before i ascend,
i feel blessed daily by this lateness.

God blesses each one with certain abilities,
and more prodigious than the talent given.
Is how we choose to use our facilities,
Be a light in someone’s darkness; be driven.

Premium Member Honor

“Honor”

I don’t get it
	I just don’t get it.

Why, men are this way.
Why they order death,
And curse their own.

Why they seek vengeance 
For those opposed.
Pardon those who’ve wronged our soul?

What makes a man this way?
What is this need?
For what is the reason? 

I understand
How anger corrupts the soul,
Turns it into coal.        			 

I understand 
How need turns into greed,
Yet, never satisfies.

I understand 
How vengeance reaps,
And bloodies our sheets.   		

I understand
The call to forgive
Yet, these are not forgivable deeds.

Who are these men? 
Who kill boys 
In boats awash at sea. 

Who are these men
Who rob the poor,
And shut their doors? 			 

Who are these men
Who stormed our walls,  
Cursing our laws?

Do they not know, 
Our destined role, 
What they have done?

Should I have to ask? 
Where their Honor lies?
Adrift at sea, without a shore?
 
Do we no longer believe?
Do we no longer know,
This sacred word?
 
My cheeks are flushed.
My eyes runneth over.
My mind torn.
I don’t understand, 
 
I speak to you.
To you, our men of greatness.
Have you none? 
I don’t understand.

Have you not sold 
Our bodies, minds, and souls,
To sailors, drunk from the sea? 
	I don’t understand?

In what harbor do you sleep?
I don’t understand.
		I just don’t understand.
			Where your Honor lies.

When Greatness Never Comes

From childhood I dreamt 
of doing wondrous things, 
stringing together an
unending, unbreakable
necklace of words, gold-
toned sounds feeding 
meaning to my readers,
like food to the famished.

I grew bolder: I would create
word-mountains in the reader's
mind, words that would never die,
but those words were all stillborn.

Years, decades went by.
I grew fat and happy with
wife and family and friends.
Finally, with defiance at the 
caprice called Fate, who parcels
out talent by her whim alone,
I said, "So be it! I'll never touch 
Shakespeare's toe, nor ruffle
Dickens' collar-- I'll never even
get to tickle silly Ezra Pound."
I'm anonymous, and so too
are you, most likely....

And that is all right, because 
as a young man, you see,
my soul came to me-- oh yes,
my soul came quietly to me,
and whispered, I exist forever,
without a start, without an end,
a mockery of time.Then it teased,
"Now fit THAT into your mind,
into your body ever so brief,
just a breath of flesh really."

Things that come,
come in their own way.

It's My Winning Season

It's my winning season
It's time for me to achieve
For all i can do is win
Because of my faith i do believe
That everything attached to me
Will succeed beyond my expectations
For its my season to triumph
With godly exultation

I'm now a woman of impact
Confident, courageous and called
I'm now a force to be reckoned with
No one's plaything at all

I'm a sister of King Jesus
And my Father God says I'm royalty
I am destined for greatness
And assured the victory.

The enemy will come at me with 
Disease and destruction
But its my winning season 
For I'm a godly production

I will strike a blow for freedom
A hidden figure I'll be no more
My spirit may be different
But through my tears of courage I will endure

It's my winning season
And to the Lord God I will say yes
For i am more than just capable
I'm also highly favored and blessed

The Dalit of India

I hear your cries echo through the corridors of time.
For three thousand years, hope was stolen,
your humanity bartered away like coin in a market.
They branded you untouchable,
yet you are the pulse of the earth,
the dark soil from which all life is born.

Look at them—
they build temples of stone but crush the living temple of flesh.
They parade in garments of purity,
yet purity does not dwell in their hearts.
They call themselves white,
forgetting that white is the shroud of death,
while black is the womb of creation.

India sings of democracy—
but only on paper,
while in the streets,
the Dalit drink from poisoned wells
and walk with chains invisible yet heavier than iron.
O land of sages and scriptures,
why do you blind your eyes to your own children?

But listen—
karma is a wheel that never sleeps.
The wheel turns,
and the high will fall,
the low will rise.
The first shall stumble into the dust,
and the last shall be crowned with dawn.
Nothing remains the same beneath the cosmos.

Your oppressors believe night is eternal,
but even the longest shadow bows to the morning sun.
Suffering is the blacksmith—
it tempers your soul like steel in fire.
They see permanence in your chains,
yet permanence does not exist in the universe.

O Dalit, sons and daughters of destiny—
do not believe the lie of exile.
Nature was not foolish to birth you.
You are the missing verse
in the unfinished hymn of India.
She dreams of greatness,
but her dream is hollow
until your dignity is restored.

The beauty of the world
is not found in sameness,
but in the symphony of differences.
And so I say to you—
though the night is heavy with sorrow,
though the stars seem far and dim,
tomorrow freedom will come,
and the chains will fall
like dust before the wind.

NATIONAL DISPUTE, WE WANT JUSTICE

There comes the EAST, against the SOUTH

The WEST against the SOUTH

Again the NORTH, all against the SOUTH

Just to use, manipulate and enslave 

our minds, One said music is all

I say  

The growth of a country

Depends on the knowledge Of the youths

But money makes everything worthwhile

Them songs; Bursting Up the speakers

The knowledge birthed, connections for elevation

My money bossing up, Mi world

They call me 

A LAZY GOLD DIGGER NO i am 

A POET, I was a once a hustler

Here comes another, they said...

Laughter is everything, It keeps you entertained

I said; Laughter without, happiness and contentment

From within is Forgery, For social connection

Money makes it enduring and complete

Them jokes and movies, all over the NATION

With Global recognition

My people Living La vida loca (the crazy life)

La Bella vida (The beautiful life)

Amidst all hate and denials, they labelled us SCAMMERS

No we are messengers of Love, Oneness was our message.

da vida (life-giving) vida Feliz (happy life)

There came 

The other, boosting of their. strengths and powers

I told them

It's not by power, neither myth but

Consistency without resistance 

Money makes whole, It adds honor

We all will die one day, but not certain

Now they got 

The military With armed forces, ARMY

Forcing, forging lies and flogging us to

Move their ways, my people 

Still showing love, amidst the tortures

They call us vultures with cultures

No we are healers and seers

Which they keep seeking, Unknowingly 

Silence and discernment was Our weapons

Their perception of us, Was a reflection of them.

All them wishes On us was to be their

Sheep for slaughter

Copycat to navigate the negative poles

Propelling the heroes, Within

The Sleeping LIONS, they awakened

Now My people roar for; 

Absolute freedom, greatness comes from it

We SOUTHERNERS also deserve power

We want to own our resources

And Our Fundamental Human Rights

JUSTICE and FREEDOM IS THE SOUND

AS WE ROAR FOR GREATNESS!!
