Premium Member The Western Wall - Jerusalem

Though just a wall
      or so it's deemed
    
    She's kept alive
      a people's dreams

    Myriad pilgrims come
      her faithful friends

    To renew her glory's
      beginning and end*




    *Beginning - Inaugurated by King Solomon, c. 1000 BCE
     'End' - To be rebuilt with the advent of the Messiah ...
    __________________________________
    The Western Wall, aka The Wailing Wall, 
    miraculously survived the razing of the 
    Holy Temple and the Temple Mount by
    the Romans in the First Century C.E.  
    Jews have made pilgrimages to the
    Wall over the millennia, especially since 
    1967, after the Six-Day War.

630 Our Golden Times During PDu30 - Part 3

630.

Our Golden Times During PDu30 – Part 3



Behold PDu30 in his 3rd Year of Presidency

The Year of the bowing earth Dog

Triple Blessings in our country!



If in his 1st year, he increased insurance in Social Security

And in his 2nd year, he gave students in SUCs free tuition

In his 3rd year, he pursued Irrigation Service also for free!



He cares for the old, for the young, for the farmers

He prohibited OFWs in a country where they are maltreated

Because he also cares for the Overseas Filipino Workers!



He successfully cleaned Boracay & Estero de Binondo

And ordered the cleaning of El Nido & the closure of illegal mines

Because he cares for the environment also!



When landslides killed a lot of people

In Itogon, Benguet & Naga, Cebu

Mines in the country PDu30 wanted to shut all!



So do not say PDu30 is a murderer

Accusing him of extra-judicial or state-sponsored killings

When he cares for both the people & the Earth Mother!



That's why in his 3rd year as our president

His country received triple blessings

In science & religion, in sports & beauty pageant!



In science, our country sent satellites in space

In religion, Iglesia Ni Cristo got 3 world records in Guinness

And the Balangiga Bells are back to their home base!



In sports, Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League was inaugurated

Our country hosted the 1st International Ice Hockey Federation

And it's also here where the 2018 FIBA 3x3 World Cup was held!



Finally, we again topped in international beauties

In Ms. Multinational, Ms. Asia-Pacific & Ms. Universe

Crowned again as “queens” the Filipina ladies!

*Our Golden Times During PDu30
Form: Rhyme

November

Inaugurated by colors of autumn
and closed with flurries of snow,
on the calendar, it reigns as queen.

Frost is its silver companion,
transforming nature— 
signaling transition and rest.

Roots withhold nutrients
and petals fall next to leaves,
to be swept away by northern winds.

Farmer’s fields lay bare
following harvest,
prepared for winter’s blanket.

Hearts, filled with gratitude,
overflow with expressions
reserved for this special month.

November’s glory introduces
a holiday season endowing society
with generosity and love.

The Passion of the Christ

To be predicted means that you’re the fruition, 
Of a rational process, effortful and determined;
We can all predict that someone will soon cure cancer, 
And so Jesus was foretold as medicine’s romancer. 

The name Jesus Christ means predicted saviour, 
And Isaiah 53 verse 5 states that he definitely would be, 
Wounded by the government for the people’s freedoms,
But that because of his wounds society would be superior. 

Those who were intelligent just before Jesus came, 
Felt a wave of change in the medical field,
Where doctors only treated the families of the rich:
The intelligent said that such a wave would equality yield.

When Christ was stressed out, about to be arrested, 
He forsook his medical mind and surrendered all to god;
You can see that the god thing is for trials by government, 
Or today, trials by society when your stance is not odd. 

Upon arrest, the soldiers wanted Jesus of Nazareth, 
Not Jesus the son of god, or the Jesus of any divinity tribe, 
And Jesus simply replied to them “I am he,” squarely and plainly, 
Unlike at his trial, where for speech he had to be bribed. 

The allegation was indeed productivity in profession, 
His work skill, which came and grew from his family roots; 
He got much social power from his healings and exorcisms,
As he had learnt the joinery trade well, had invented new shoots. 

Caiaphus asked if he was a king from the miracles he did, 
Miracles of course being new methods and techniques, 
And he replied to Pilate that god, the church and he himself, 
Determine his actions, that their lee-way is his health. 

Jesus was popular at church, not amongst the government, 
So it was informally considered to be his validator; 
The question was whether the people still saw state over church, 
For common order to be maintained and not left in the lurch. 

He knew he would die for the good he had done in life, 
So inaugurated communion to remember his cause:
Loving the weaker, lower ones no matter who they are, 
Saying everyone should know that personally in applause.

Remembrance Day

“The Nazi’s had no value of life,
They neither understood it, 
Nor did they reckon it merited any value,” 
My dad objectified at the table, 
One Remembrance Sunday, 
When I was young. 

Although November the 11th,
Was inaugurated by King George the V, 
In 1919, just after World War I,
As a day of remembrance of the Great War, 
We use it as a day on which, 
We can consider both wars, 
And, for some, any war. 

The King never wanted again, 
To see any more bloodshed between nations, 
And so rendered it as our choice, 
By making it the people’s contemplation. 

We must remember their resilience,
Their hope in the face of certain death;
Tirelessness embroidered in tears, 
Their well considered bliss in pallid gloom.

Fight and figure jostled the in-education, 
Of the German’s thirst for war, power and dictatorship; 
And truth flamed in our side, 
Until by our character we succeeded. 

That valour is perhaps passed on to us, 
The kids of future generations, 
Because from our older relatives,  
We can understand how they fought.

With this bravery, we need to cultivate,
Trust, love and understanding between nations, 
Between our foreign neighbours and friends, 
So that killing and maiming is not a possibility.

661 The 1st Period of the American Era of Philippine History: The Coming of Americans

661.

The 1st Period of the American Era of Philippine History:

The Coming of Americans



The Philippine Revolution subsided with the Pact of Biak-na-Bato

Which paved way for the exile of Emilio Aguinaldo

While abroad, Aguinaldo met with American officials

And they both agreed to continue against Spain their reprisals



When war broke out between Spain & the United States of America

The American forces in Hongkong sailed to Manila

And there in the Battle of Manila Bay

American fleet defeated Spanish forces in a single day



Then Aguinaldo made his way back to his country

And led the Filipinos towards their victory

In June 12, 1898, he proclaimed the Philippines a nation independent

And inaugurated the Malolos Republic with him as president



But soon, American forces relentlessly arrived

The Americans & the Spaniards secretly connived

In Manila, a battle between them was fought as a pretentious display

In the Treaty of Paris, Spain sold the Philippines to the USA



This is the 1st Period of American Era – The Coming of Americans

The Spaniards made their exit, the Americans their entrance

Farewell, Spain, your colonization is over

God was turning the Philippines over to a new colonizer.

Opposing energies magnetize their clustered convictions,
Lastly, amassed intentions remain beyond comprehension,
Presently, polarized detachments collapse in their face-off,
Ulterior effectiveness spotlights their futile parties,
Action demands prompt communication, and trust begins to rise,
Credence anchors individual aspirations to form,
Insights gaining momentum furtherance sparks enthusiasm,
Welcoming yielded principles, sanctions relevant accord,
Restrict naught one's conclusions with a particular outlook,
Narrow points exert pressure amongst willing participants,
Obstructs equitable compromise, shadowing a stalemate,
Broadening perspectives enables means for negotiation,
Opportunities will modify one's beholden opinions,
At all times, vast or modest, voice concerns without skepticism,
Participation amidst others will rally the reserved,
Cooperation inaugurated embraced invitations,
Unswervingly, uniting the collective wholeheartedly,
In hindsight, repetitious history craves inferred foresight:
Matured apple-eaters, ripened-keepers of the lesser kingdoms,
Furthermore, equanimity amidst all that encompasses,
And to that end, understanding, we are resolved, henceforward,
Our prospective generations, producing the greatest 
Godsend as Earth’s human symbionts ... what I (really) want.

Premium Member Eclectic Idiosyncrasy

when correct spelling eludes you write a different word
stay true to the anarchy poetry form make it up as you go
a haiku is just a Japanese limerick and a tad bit shorter
conceived on delicate sake rather than a stout Guinness
once the tongue is loosened and the audience plastered
any syllable count deceives what is meant to be voiced

at the end of a pub crawl harp and zither sound quite alike
shamisen and all strings attached resonate just the same
true to the nature of art what pleases with passionate sound
sometimes refuses to be squeezed into reverend lines
if one looks at some ever so famous writing one wonders
what kind of mushrooms inaugurated such magic outpour

on a more sober matter poetry is in the eye of beholders
dysphonia on steroids is a natural remedy for logophobia
one man’s incoherence is another one’s mythical calling
but courage is bravery however you wish to pronounce it

there was once a young man it Haikushima
illiterate is what he was called by Mama 
who’s whiskey lacked lime
did not give a dime
when he spent a penny someone stole his thunder and drama

green fields and butterscotch clover
fragrance of Irish Oak blossoms -
lost for words the weather staid speechless

in case of any doubt in the mind of the affectionate reader
this poetry form is part of the extended self-critical monologue
style currently still in its experimental encrypted stage which
in its naive but raw and expressionate timbre is meant to confuse
