Wisdom's Call

Wisdom and understanding do raise their voice
On the stands beside the paths they yell that you make a choice; 
At the gates of bazaars both do cry hoarse and loud, 
And wonder how orderly the world would be if all fools vowed
To live according to their simple dictates, 
And leave all evil and unwholesome tastes.

When shall the simple gain understanding and prudence, 
And the unknowing embrace a life of sense? 
The Almighty detests deeds devoid of reason, 
For His perfect nature is never perverse
But just and fair in His rule over the universe; 
He thus like Him wants all men to be
For nothing short of this can His heart please; 
Not even valued incense offered my men of hearts remiss! 
 
Choose understanding over quick silver
And understanding over choice gold; 
All who these chose in the world of the old
All possessed and lacked not a single thing, 
For nothing desirable can be compared with wisdom; 
It is the ferocious guard to watch your home, 
And your delicious meal in the face of hunger! 

Fear the Lord and hate all evil
And it shall not destroy your grain any weevil; 
Hate the perversity of crooked and warped speech 
And among men of sense carve yourself a niche; 
Let counsel and sound speech be yours
For these alone are limitless power
To wield for help in the need's hour; 
When troubles and adversities betide, 
Wisdom is a sure place for you to hide.

In wisdom are enduring honor and prosperity, 
Truest valor and freedom from all forms of temerity; 
It's the only scape from all shackles that engulf, 
Amnesty from all follies that grind! 

They rule with justice and without fear of overthrow
The wise kings and princes who fear the Lord, 
Who marked the boundaries of the seas
And demarcations of the dry world! 

He who fixed the clouds and the firmaments, 
Has with Him all treasured endowments; 
Blessed be those that keep His ways
And many shall be their days
That hearken to His wisdom, 
Obey His decrees plain and clear, 
And His hallowed name fear! 

Be not beguiled by the cacophony and the hubbub, 
The law of the Lord remains unshaken and superb; 
And the fear of the Creator remains the only refuge
In the face of disaster and drowning deluge!

Premium Member Go Ask Alice

Ah, Divine influence, it has come to many, so they say,
as to their nameless or named God’s they do pray.
The light came to Carroll, he said he could see,
for raised by a Vicar at Christ church was he.

Dodgson was his surname an apt moniker 
for he veers of from his father, made math his liqueur 
Lewis was Charles tongue in cheek, he wore hats 
and from his birth place, he transformed Cheshire cats.

Lewis Carroll wrote “Alice” sure, he was also Charles Dodgson
but who wrote the marrow, now that’s where the God comes!
Now, many men wrote the Bible or so we surmise
and the pages they garnered came in random sizes. 

Yes they picked, they plucked, these men were right scary
and what do you know, left out the Book of Mary!
Now you modern readers just might take a note 
the resemblance twixt Alice and Mary's no anecdote.

Dogdson, yes Carroll, knew Mary so it seems 
yet, Alice sweet Alice is who came in his dreams.
Carroll clothed Alice and it's no surprise
that in Chapter 3:21, her dress he seeks dried!

For Alice, dear Alice, did not wish to die! 
“She would catch a bad cold if she could not get dry.”
Carroll being the kind creator, he would 
had the mouse read to Alice the driest of books.

Again and again, his benevolence is shown
when he sends Alice a rabbit to soon lead her home.
So, we are lead on in most delightful detail 
to Chapter 4:15 where her flight is curtailed.

As Cain slew Abel, so the Queen beheaded prates.
Yet, she’d no power at all, over bodiless cats!
Now, Chapter 12 is truly my favorite, as you may surmise
Lewis Carroll has dreamed much of caterpillar size..

He dreamed a whole world full of goodness and villainy.
As anyone can see, men will see what they see,
and the Looking Glass has as much meaning to me
as the Bible may have to the Christians, let be.

Take Heed of the Garden

He's rolling along the blacktop,
Rolling past Flora's crop,
Like a disinterested wind,
A Zephyr without a clue... 

He doesn't stop to take notice, 
It's just one foot before the next,
Placing his worn out size twelve
Atop a sweet daisy...

His touch is rough, and,
Better fit the for handling the
Painstaking labors of life
Than cultivating flowers in the garden,

Some men take pleasure in plucking lilies!
They are the farm hands who reap your fields!
Other men specialize in sowing seeds,
They are those who recognize the flowers' needs...

He's not so handsome as Narcissus,
But knows well, how to piss a goddess off!
He laid to waste and wilt many flowers
And soon gained the title of 'invasive weed'!

He has no place in the garden,
No knowledge of the flowers' anatomy,
His touch is too rough to the pedal
He can't keep his hand off the pistil 

Pluck the weed
That cannot heed
The need of a flowering seed
Out of my garden she decreed

Office Xmas Party

OFFICE    XMAS    PARTY

Silly  hats and even sillier chatter
Overloud voices, but what’s said does not  matter
As alcohol increases by the crates.
Clink of glasses,   clatter of plates,
Jingle of forks  and knives,
Jokes  between husbands and wives.
Speeches made by men hot and glistening 
With automatic applause but no one listening.
Dancers ungainly and ill-at-ease
With alien-partners,  trying to please
Unsynchronized men dragged to the dance
Floor by  rhythmic women making a determined stance.
People doing  pointless things   -  the boss with  an elf  hat -
His  PR  assistant  making PR  chat. 
In the photo dark room ,  under-manager 
Completely out of character
With the secretary whose task she does not shirk -
Some emergency negative work.

The evening is wearing on
Guests are wearing  out their welcome 
I’m  wearing  in   a clown’s  mask
The xmas spirit is wearing off.

Premium Member Skin Deep

On the surface she was beautiful
But she was ugly deep inside
Yet always she was surrounded
With many men by her side

On the outside she was ugly
Her beauty was deep within
She was always left by herself
Shunned by all the men

Showered with gifts and compliments
Never wanting for a date
Even though inside her heart was dark
Intoxicated with hate

Full of love and sympathy
Always lending a helping hand
Never receiving a single call
Avoided by every man

We can be so shallow
Deceived by our very own eyes
If we could only learn to see with our hearts
We men would be surprised
