Elected Rejected

Discrediting plausibility 
by shredding their humility 
to a place of vulnerability 
devoured by inabilities 
cowardice incompetence 
showered into consciousness 
empowered causing confidence 
validation found in compliments 
a false sense of accomplishment 
resort to intense punishment 
to knock down their competitors 
who speak of truth not metaphors 
that could reverse their actual course 
see them falling through floorboards 
far from craved credited applause 
a status low as though blackballed 
on salaries always needing more 
survival gifting no rewards 
a personality to be ignored 
social skills which leave them bored 
testing humans to their core 
needing a win but cannot score 
electrical without a cord 
no plug socket or power source 
as management you were assured 
entitlement had power stored 
defensive walls they reinforced 
the canon fire rains then pours 
constant drainage of resource
when liars reign without remorse 
demonstrate through acts of war 
axing allies no friends of yours 
switching sides ending support 
backtracking and invasions fall 
forward thinking backward thoughts 
two faced fronts fights are fought
defend positions within the fort 
saving supply routes to the port 
lowered standards poor results 
lose respect face the onslaught 
enclosing can’t escape assaults
laced with disgrace of dense insults
unsatisfactory falling short 
the cost of power steeply soars 
run out of bullets fight with swords 
sticks and stones not canon balls 
back to basics of infant schools 
learning how the mighty fall 
turns out you might be a fool 
from the authority you adore 
to unemployed and lost it all 
from big and powerful to small 
once important not anymore 
once arrogant above the law 
apparently now unloveable
a tyrant silenced by rivals 
the outlaw downfall locked indoors 
freedom within the prison walls 
abusing boundaries horribly 
so far beyond authority 
explicitly and vicously 
fully of inefficiency 
faults and inability 
soulless animosity 
dethroned without the sovereignty 
lost lonely in unpopularity.

Premium Member My Grandma Deemma

MY GRANDMA DEEMMA

    My Grandma, whom I called Deemma
    bathed me in showers of limitless love and blessings.
    Those feelings I am still carrying in my life.
     Deemma! An ideal hostess not to even guess,
    most competent in domestic chores and household management    
  Grandpa! An unsuccessful lawyer with irregular income low and slow.
  Deemma met up his inefficiency, never blaming rather running  ideal family.

   Off and on, in vacations, I had spent days with her.
   She narrated her life-long struggle and concluded‘While raising up kids, 
    whole day’s ceaseless work made me frantically fatigued. 
   At late night I had to seek for a small space to throw myself in bed.
   Yet, as I took glance on sleeping faces of my kids, 
    I realized, I as the happiest woman in the world.’

     She had only primary education permissible for women in those days.
   But her craze reached her daughters and son to succeed as toppers                                                                                                                               

  She was my idol holding extraordinary skill in sewing, knitting, embroidering.
   All the dresses of her grand kids were stitched by her.
   Lots of charming dolls excelling in handicrafts were gifted to me.  
   Once she voiced to me ‘You call me Deemma, a typical address to old lady.
   Dear my child, I am aged, but mind is still young not coping up with body.’
  
   Now being a Grandma I had to sense the same ruthless truth.
    She had bestowed me compassion and care in opulence.
   I got no scope to repay but only to offer my gratitude as tribute in silence.
   Trying to honor with my tribute roaming through reminiscence.

Tandie No Longer Smiles

Tandie no longer smiles, tandie no longer smiles, The deceptive reflection of the mirror only displays  Effusive images of their smiles and laughter.
 their momentary pleasure shattered a lifetime Of her dreams of raising three songs and a daughter.

 No mental serenity can overcome her tormenting reality.  The disfigured contours of her body display her bruises.
 Her elders are quick to deprecate her broken soul to the Visual connotations and effects of the clothes she chooses.
 she is domiciled in a world where the furrows on her cheeks are the only accepted signs for grievance, 
They have renditioned her joy and choose not to question what's in its place.
  they do not hear her silenced attempted to scream reduced to mare whispers as the echoes of their piercing groans replay.

they do not hear her silenced attempted to scream reduced to mare whispers as the echoes of their piercing groans replay. Over and over and over again until the very pounds of her heart resemble his and his and that other man she
 never got to see.
 The merciful liters of the sea could cleanse the  stench of their sweat or the hot
Breath that caressed her tender shoulders shouting all kinds of names That conformed her to everything she would vowed never to be.

She often lays awake in search of edification from this endeavor,  
 But her minds only paints pictures of a world where immorality is  Justified and such vile creatures are applaud not appalled.
 Justice is only for just us until your liberties are taken, she admits as her innocence is taken forever.

  We are slaves trapped by our dreams and blinded by our ambitions to take Note of dimmed stars and to see the depth of the darkness in her frown.
 We rush to cling to our inefficiency as consolidation for refusing to see her’s So if you ever see tandie passing bye know that she is the conception and Manifestation of a broken world and a reality we have chosen to accept  as our  Daily life.

Premium Member My God, Thank You For Filling Me With Good Things

September 27 Scripture Meditations Based on Luke 1

Key Verse– Luke 1:53 He (God) hath filled the hungry with good things… 

MY GOD, THANK YOU FOR FILLING ME WITH GOOD THINGS

Thank You for filling me with good things, so great
Notwithstanding my unfaithfulness of slothfulness’ bait…
Please accept my sincere confession-repentance state
May I be humble in calling unto You, not late, but up-to-date.

Thank You for filling me with good things, so bountiful
Notwithstanding my prayerfulness, dreadfully awful…
Please forgive my offensive apathy that’s never useful
May I be submissive in surrendering unto You against being boastful.

Thank You for filling me with good things, so satisfying
Notwithstanding my discontentment I keep denying…
Please help my frequent unbelief to stop from lying
May I be restrained in complaining against You with my selfish vying.

Thank You for filling me with good things, so timely
Notwithstanding my impatience shown obviously…
Please uphold my wearying endurance to wait earnestly
May I be prompt in prioritizing You along Your will joyously.

Thank You for filling me with good things, so generous
Notwithstanding my complaints of which I’m conscious…
Please correct my stinginess for me to be magnanimous
May I be selfless in pleasing You with character that’s virtuous.

Thank You for filling me with good things, so beneficial
Notwithstanding my ignorance of sovereign plan I regard as circumstantial…
Please guide my determined decisiveness towards what’s essential
May I be compliant in following You toward truth-journey, heavenly special.

Thank You for filling me with good things, so profitable
Notwithstanding my inefficiency, proving that I’m incapable…
Please uphold my biblical conviction for it to be stable
May I be steadfast in clinging to You through Your love, always available.

Keep Your Laws Off My Body

You march calling for taxes on
things that you think we should not eat,
tax the soda, tax the chips,
and above all tax the meat!
We point out that you have no right,
you stamp your feet and raise your voice,
utterly convinced that we
should be deprived of our free choice.
We chose to smoke or choose to drink,
aware of the potential risks,
the fact you can’t control our acts
just seems to make you more pissed,
then you badger the government,
“Use the law to make them see!”
Mind your business, no one else’s,
keep you damn laws off my body.

You claim health care should have no cost,
and be provided without charge
by governments that cannot run
departments for registering cars.
You think I should give up my health
to those power-hungry minds
who lie and drag you through the courts
if you dare to expose their crimes?
They let people suffer so
they can win a few extra votes,
you don’t think that they would 'let die'
any ‘inconvenient’ sick folk?
Institutions ever corrupt,
and cursed with inefficiency,
have no business treating people,
keep you damn laws off my body.

You claim that every woman should
be able to kill without regret,
as long as it’s their own child,
and has not left the womb yet.
Never mind the barbarism,
there is something that I must say:
I’m not part of my mother’s flesh,
I’ve got my own damn DNA!
Some claim it doesn’t matter since
I cannot survive on my own,
but neither can a five-year old,
and yet murder is not condoned.
I’ve never seen the Earth before,
but I’m a unique entity,
You cut me up and say it’s fine?
Keep you damn laws off my body!

Premium Member Trump Delivers!

US President Donald Trump delivers! 

Disappearing people, 
people aren’t illegal
The inefficiency of DOGE
Nothing makes sense, it’s all a mirage
Ignoring the Supreme Court,
immigrant prisoner’s fees come up short
Drastic aid cuts kill people overseas, 
bringing back rare disease
I’m not bashing the Trump agenda 
Sipping a five-dollar coffee and Splenda
It’s inflation, and his
insatiable appetite for tariffs in other nations
Got his gimmick and applause
Worldwide leaders upset because
outrageously tariffed
Worse than even liberals predicted!
Firing government workers,
ridding twitter twerkers
Best say 2020 election was rigged,
and that other candidate cheated
Silicon Valley beware,
AI undermining gives a scare
Pardon the bad guys,
lock up innocent lives
Tariff-related market collapse,
Gerrymandering make new maps
Farmers forced to overregulate
Under lableing’s blind fate
Suing the media,
can’t fact check on Wikipedia
Bye bye D.O.D
end of US Army? 
Rename it, department of war,
forget defense, think of horror
I mean, I could just keep going
Let’s see what is missing?
Government workers fired
Lack of qualified candidates hired 
Take his family and RFK JR radical,
gets checks from pharmaceutical 
Braking the law shooting-up everyday,
what would the dead Kennedy's say?
What isn’t missing is Trump in the White House
and his trophy wife spouse
And so instead of unabashedly bawling my eyes out
I’ll do what it takes to mellow doubt
That’s only half of it,
Melania spoke out, I’m now in a bad state of regret
Give me a drag—I need cigarette!

Productivity

The machine is king
Making money is god
Selfishness is the religion

The underdog is the new third estate
The backbone of society
Is the modern slave
As he gets only the minimum wage

Up we arise in the morning
And off to work we go
We might not be home
In time for dinner
As work is all we know

To the boss we will be productive eventually
To our family we are never there
We have become so numb
That we done even care

Wages are low
Our pensions are cut
Our hearts are filled with rage
We long not for the good old days
For they never existed in any age

What should we do?
Economic gains benefit the country they claim
Yet we wish the hard slog
Of the factory floor
Wasn’t such a right drain

When we rise up they complain
Productivity is lost they claim
Businesses want excessive profits
And managers global fame 
No one cares about our desperate poverty

Downing tools does not help
We just bring home a lot less
We buy the basics with our pittance
And rage at what we will never get

Forever lambasted for inefficiency
We never get the chance to prove our might
No wonder the economy is in such blight
Is there no salary increase insight?

We are to the bosses
Robots clothed in skin
That must be pushed harder and harder
So his bonus can be bigger
We always comply
Despite getting none of the pie

One day our hard work will pay off
One day we will retire 
Until then we will work hard
For no wage makes life dire

Destruction should end

Warfare is deception
Warfare is destruction
Destruction of human dignity
Destruction of peace
Peace is expensive
Peace is essential
Essential to build humanity
Essential to joyful living
Living with respect
Living with dignity
Dignity is a right
Dignity is a want
Want to feel the grace
Want to feel the life
Life is special
Life is precious
Precious is knowledge
Precious is honesty
Honesty in living
Honesty in thinking
Thinking always positive
Thinking always mindful
Mindful is to be calm
Mindful is to learn calm
Calm in facing hatred
Calm in facing jealousy
Jealousy is inefficiency
Jealousy is inablity
Inability in achieving
Inability in contentment
Contentment is core of simplicity
Contentment is wealth
Wealth is being healthy
Wealth is to feel prosperity
Prosperity is state of mind
Prosperity is litmus test
Test to see one’s gratitude
Test to see one’s faith
Faith in oneself
Faith in one’s soul
Soul is best friend
Soul is consciousness
Consciousness is purity in thought
Consciousness is to be in peace
Peace should be found when alive
Peace is not sought at end
End is divine conviction
End is potential of life
Life…
Living…
