FAITH IN GOD WHO REBUKES US FOR REJECTING HIS COMMANDMENT

While teaching us His doctrines of truth-profiting fervency
Hence, checking our faith against traditions’ fallacy
And calling us to submit to His sanctification along His mercy.
God rebukes us for rejecting His commandment due to our sinfulness
While cleansing us midst our confessed wickedness
Hence, upholding our faith along His holiness
And leading us to walk on paths of righteousness

While guiding us to flee from evil tempting
Hence, guarding our faith around His will, never departing
And guiding us to seek Him against tendencies of forgetting.
God rebukes us for rejecting His commandment due to our carnality
While warning us through His Word’s infallibility
Hence, increasing our faith toward stewardship-productivity
And protecting us from frustration’s anxiety.
God rebukes us for rejecting His commandment due to our vain aspiration
While teaching us His Scriptural instruction
Hence, ushering our faith along His direction
And restoring us with His replenishment’s satisfaction.
God rebukes us for rejecting His commandment due to our arrogant deed
While admonishing us against unbelief and doubt toward Biblical creed
Hence, strengthening our faith toward obedience-heed
And hedging us around prayer where from fears we are freed.
God rebukes us for rejecting His commandment due to our selfish desire
While empowering us to fulfill what He does require
Hence, driving our faith toward heavenly vision until we retire
And propelling us for fruitful service midst worshipful revival fire.

He called your nation a 'fiction'
wishing you chaos and pain.
Like a savage grizzly intent on
your utter destruction.
He thought, so naively, that
you will buckle under his missiles' rain
triggering a new biblical exodus.
with a leader weak and tenuous
playing the NATO blame game,
harboring ambition of Soviet reclaim;
took his cues from Hitler's pincer attack,
backed by his convoy of artillery and tank;
hedging his bets on a Russian blitzkrieg
with little worries of his soldiers' fatigue.
Must watch Chaplin's Great Dictator
begging mercy from the creator.
You've now taught him a new word, Quagmire
familiar with his army's cold campfire.
his generals Know now the price of invading
a heroic nation praised the world over as outstanding;
your valor and sacrifice,
your blood and honor
turning history's dice.
Glory to Ukraine, to your
steadfastness and resolve,
to your triumph in this bloody brawl.

His light shines
Surrounding me with hope
Everlasting love
Peace that keeps me
Assured of the victory
His light glows bright
Encompassing me with joy
Amazing grace so sweet
Gentle flow of song
Whispered on the heart
His light sparkles
Radiating a tenderness
Kindness so vibrant
It feels like adoration
Breathing pleasure
His light glimmers
Enfolding me with stillness
Silence that believes
Enriches hearts with faith
Assuring with praise
His light glitters
Enclosing me with calm
Certainty that He is alive
Giving hope to every life
Answering prayers
His light twinkles
Enveloping me in compassion
Soothing away all sorrow
Brightening thoughts with surety
Singing silent relief
His light shimmers
Hedging me with protection
Securing my direction
With wonder that is accepting
Of every supplication
His light glistens
Girding me with armor
From the God who is always
There to guide me through the storm
Piercing the dark with His love
The north wind started to blow
It matched the coldness that lived in my soul
The sidewalk was icy
I glanced off beside me
The old man sat there alone
.
I said sir are you cold
Have you someplace to go
Is there something that I can do
He just smiled and then nodded
Like he knew right where I lived
Said son may I have, just one word with you
.
And he sat there staring at me
His eyes saw right through me & somehow I feared what he'd seen
All alone in no hurry he had nowhere to be
He saw right through me as he sat there staring at me.
.
His face worn and weathered & his hands seemed like leather
His soft eyes told a secret that I knew I couldn't see
But his heart wasn't hardened
And I almost walked past him
The stranger asked, nothing from me
.
He said boy if you keep on running and hedging your bets
Your heart will be empty yet full of regret
I've never unlived a day I've wasted yet
The day that you waste
Is one less day that you get
His eyes pierced my soul
And that's something I'll never forget
.
I turned to try to walk on
And I looked back and he was gone
And it dawned on me I was alone
And the words that I'd heard
Echoed within my soul
And the life I'd created
Had left me alone and so cold
.
He said boy if you keep on running and hedging your bets
Your heart will be empty yet full of regret
I've never unlived a day I've wasted yet
The day that you waste
Is one less day that you get
His eyes pierced my soul
And that's something I'll never forget
And that's something I'll never forget
I craft poems by evening time since I can't slumber.
I'm dreary of the one with a springtime splendor.
I'm lacking in rest, shrewdness, and moral dignity.
I've lost my aware vicinity and spotless anger.
We are not blinded by flies, owls, or moral agony.
It's not the fatal quiet or the sun's loss that's injury.
This isn't a chorus wraiths in the lush hedging.
The drab caveats of another day induce dark dubiety.
Nebulae, stars, neutrons, and quasars are all fledgling.
Dismal holes with some pale and green dwarf lighting
Blooms to be merely seen or to be picked in billion years.
This is the chronicle of the star nights, every evening.
Every night blurs you from my sight, yet, shed the tear.
I wish for a splendid twilight and consistent star seer.
I trust the rife angel's whisper and recall our discourse.
My awe, once the chalice in grasp was deep, rest clear.
Our spurn requital to God wanes our sole act of alertness.
While ebbing pristine streets toward the swift darkness
We scrutinize the cosmos, yet we are witless of his might.
Due to the safety risks of glass shards bits in the chalice
Wishing I had a hundred mates to gather around light.
My soul suffers in a gentlefolk that scorns peace bight.
Yet I shudder at the cogitation of starving to death alone.
Life is amazingly brief not to raise a chalice to reunite.

I've never been much of a worrier,
Others do that far better than I,
Nor am I renowned as a scurrier,
Which is not to imply I don't try.
My small circle of close friends and loved ones
Is diminishing one at a time,
And one of these days
I'll wake up to discover
That it's my turn, and I'm next in line.
But if, indeed, that's the next big adventure,
I hope it's a pleasant surprise.
I'd love to prove, or disprove,
All the theories I've had
About life and love,
And good and bad,
And wisdom and learning,
And ethics and such,
That faith is a pillar
And not just a crutch.
But, of course, I’m not worried,
I don't do that, you see.
"Que será, será",
What will be, will be.
But on the off chance that there is a hereafter,
I'd like to reserve a small space there for me.
And should any of you get there before I do,
Try to grab us a nice window seat with a view.
L.A ‘62. English professor George (Colin Firth) is mourning the loss of his gay partner. He's
spent the day reliving memories, but that night meets his student Kenny (Nicholas Hoult),
who secretly admires him, in a bar. The two end up at George’s house after a spontaneous
ocean swim. Kenny has just emerged from the shower,wrapped in a towel. George is making
a fire. When Kenny goes to get a beer, he discovers a nude photo of George’s dead lover in
a drawer. His suspicions about his teacher are confirmed. A beautiful score of stringed
music, nostalgic and tender draws me in to every nuance of Colin's performance.
George, feeling foolish and seeming a bit flushed with anticipation (yet restraining himself
from improper conduct), sits on a chair across from the young man when the boy returns to
the living room. A conversation ensues in which George asks Kenny questions, trying to
discern the young man’s reasons for being there that night. The boy, too, is trying to learn
things about George, but keeps hedging with his responses to George‘s questions, and
nothing completely “telling” is ever said. Meanwhile, their eyes linger on each other. The
young man’s eyes are an enchanting almost gleaming blue; I find it hard myself to look away
from his sweet face. My eyes are also riveted every second to George’s face and to its many
subtle changes of expression.. Finally, the boy asks George something and at that moment,
George’s face blurs. My curiosity is very aroused when suddenly the scene has switched to
George awaking at about 3 a.m. from his bed.. The young man, however, is not in the bed
(as I had hoped he would not be). He is asleep on the sofa, and he clutches in his hands the
gun which George had planned to shoot himself with. Had George revealed his plan to end
his life that day to his student? Was that what happened in those missing hours? Had the
boyish Kenny (while George was sleeping off his drunkenness) found the gun in the same
way he had discovered the picture of George’s partner and now was holding it to prevent
George from carrying out his suicide? I know I am soon going to learn George’s fate. . .
