Crooked Bow

Lament was so excited
He had finally reached the age
Where he discovered the meaning
Of his name, so that he could gage
....his future

As the clan gathered
Into a circle around the fire
Tears of sorrow and grief
Lined their faces, as he began to desire
....no name

His "father" spoke a truth
Nothing or no one wanted to hear
"You were left in the woods
After the battle, so we took you into our fear
...of the gods

No child is to be left alone
But you are not part of our clan
We vowed to raise you
Until this day, when you become a man
...of no land

Your name means sorrow and grief
And identifies you as a bastard child
No matter where you go
Your name will cause you rejection, like the wild
....animal without a home"

Lament picked up his belongings
And walked away with crooked bow on his back
He finally understood the why
Of  his life, always needing, and constant lack
....of basic necessities

Along his journey, he met a man
A wanderer in the desert of time
He gave him a huge bag of  goods
That would entertain, as he dealt with his mind
....of intense rage

A few years down the road
He met a woman with a red coat
Who offered him wine for sorrow
And a harp, to play out, note by note
...his grievances

By the time Lament saw the next man
He yelled out, "I can't carry anymore stuff!"
The man, in patient assurance
Asked, "So you have had enough
...of seeking your own?"

Lament laid down his burden
And walked away from all he had known
For the hope of seeing fruit
From the constant toil and struggle, in the seeds he'd sown
...throughout his journey

After decades of walking with the man
Lament was given a brand new name
His name became Isaac
Laughter, in sorrow, means he would never be the same
...bastard, as before

He found out who his true father is
He created the ground Isaac walked upon
Every moment with with the man
Strengthened and solidified, the eternal bond
...of belonging

One day, the man asked Issac
"Where is your bow that made you a man?"
He answered, "It was crooked
So I left it behind, with the clan
...who gave me my name"

Toward the end of his life
Isaac met a clan member on the road
Who shouted out, "Lament"
But Isaac didn't respond, to the name with a goad
...of rejection

He walked on....fully accepted

Premium Member Abram, Abraham

Now The Lord said unto Abram
  “go now unto a land that I will show thee.
 I will make of thee a great nation
   and through thee bless each family”

 He went forth the land of Canaan
   and God said “unto thy seed I give this land”.
 So built he an altar unto The Lord
   and pitched his tent where it stand

 Thus The Lord said unto Abram
  “as the dust of the earth will I make thy seed,
 that if a man can number the dust
   so then shall thy descendants breed”

 And The Lord said “that thy seed
   shall be a stranger in a land that’s not theirs,
 a land to shed tears, sweat and blood
   and afflict them four hundred years”

“And that nation whom they serve
   will I judge, and they shall come out again”.
 God made a covenant with Abram
   that their bondage not be in vain

“The river of Egypt to the Euphrates 
   unto thy seed have I given this land all.
 This I promise the nation of Israel
   should they hearken unto my call”

 God said “thy name shall be Abraham -
   a father to many nations have I made thee.
 I will make thee exceedingly fruitful
   and kings of thy numbered seed will be”

“Between us an everlasting covenant
   will you and thy seed follow long after you,
 and as a token betwixt you and me
   shall ye be circumcised old and new”

 And God said unto Abraham “behold
   that Sarah, thy wife, shall bear you a son,
 and you shall call his name Issac
   and he will see my covenant done”

 God did tempt and test Abraham
   that alas he take his only son for a sacrifice,
 and he bound Issac upon an altar
   and took his knife that he pay a price

 The angel of The Lord called to him
   saying “Abraham, Abraham, here am I,
 lay not thine hand upon the lad
   and fear not that thy son must die”

 The angel of The Lord called again
   saying “that because you in obedience did,
 I will multiply thy seed as the stars
   and posses thy gate of all foes amid

Who Was Cooler Issac Newton Or William Tell

A MATTER OF GRAVITY

where art thou when I need thee most
ah yes, thou has become a ghost
a wishing well empty, a pond depleted
as I stand as stagnant, a man defeated

i have been overcome by demons inside
and when they request "why hast he died"
say unto them he was a man with thirst un-quenched
and tell them i died with my teeth well clenched

"clenched" question they, "but why" they wonder
"because," responds you "of the certain thunder"
"hear not thee the sound that killed him well?"
"Oh yes, now we hear why he was condemned unto Hell"

"so" sayeth thee, tell them without any doubt
there will be, due to his death, become a drought
a dryness no man nor god can create
"because," inform them, "my man was slain solely by hate"

" 'twas hatred which condemned him unto the fire,
and to all I swear, my man was no liar
he told the truth before the Temple of Love
until a thousand demonic angels appeared from above"

so let them hear the words of a man sworn unto death
and vow to them all that with each blessed breath
easiness, that evening, arrived my sweet
because 'twas with eagerness my death did I meet

thusly do I swear when you gaze around
and find not by body, to which Hell was bound
remember my face and this most memorable date
for that 'twas the eve your man died of SELF-hate
   (c) 2011.....Poefree


Twenty Four Elders

And round about the throne were
four and twenty seats: and upon
the seats , I saw four and twenty
elders, clothed in white raiment,
and they had on their heads crowns
of gold
— Rev. 4:4
Also, Num. 1:4-17


From Elizur to Ahira,
from Shedeur to Enan
These were renown princes of the twelve tribes:
Reuben to Benjamin
First born to the last born,
they stood by the side of Moses
Twelve pairs of father and son,
twenty four elders
spoken of in the Old Testament
They preached to the people
before the Rock of Horeb
They believed in a Messiah
that was not born yet
Faith always came by hearing,
and the fathers passed it on to the sons 
as death was a-nearing
Twenty four elders,
Moses’ strong left and right arm
There always was the father and son,
two faithful witnesses ready to ring the alarm
There was always the son and father,
Amen shepherds of the gospel
Issac and Abraham,
Moses and Amram
David and Jesse ...
All spoke with the same voice,
true evidence that they believed
Twenty four elders,
worshipers of the Almighty
Of these fleshly fathers and sons ...
who’s faith stood the tallest?
Concerning men, only God knows which one
But of angels,
we already know — 
It was holy Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten

Papa

i suppose papa was a proud man
he never said much
the most i ever heard papa talk
was when he prayed in church
papa was an old man 
when i reached this world
but honest and respected man
papa certianly was
papa was the Abraham
who had sons like Issac
he was also Jacob in the land
that God promised and gave him
365 acres, one for each day of the year
why God gave it to papa
i can see very clear
in his old old age 
they moved him to the city
because of hardening artries
it was a pity
in a house where he could not do much
papa was stranded and losing touch
sometimes papa would wonder off
looking for his land
i guess thats what made him
made him feel like a man
it was the first time i ever saw
what happens to the mind
we had to bathe him and change him
it was always a fight 
even in his old age
papa still had his might
that was when we visited
and that was all right
i feel sorry for my cousin
who did it every single night
the days came when they sent papa to the home
after that it was'nt very long
we buried papa not far from here
not on his land but at least he's near

JOY Made Speakable

Be a joy, repeat joy, in thy heart's depth,
Thy love, replete love, floweth thy soul's breadth,

His love of God, he'll sacrifice his son,
The joyful knelt, Issac stretched and hugged one,

Forgiveness joyrides bonds a family,
Coat of many hues, Jacob hugs tangly,

Samson felt his judgment being doubted,
Strength returns joyance for heaven's clouted,

Court's glum as Solomon ordered the sword,
Righteous climax joyrode round, praise the Lord,

Little -- Big, Ezekiel hath neither,
Joyous wings of wheel causeth a breather,

Prayers oft said by Jonah the prophet,
Later, raised mouth ... his joyfulness saw fit,

Zaccheus's short stature gifts him sheer will,
Joyrides a sycamore, efforts instill,

Passing smiles of innocence doth proclaims,
Joyridden fruitful thrives, saith St. James,

Maintain thy joys, thy needs not deny,
A kingdom dwells as thy host saw the sky,

The Enemy

The Enemy



He was sleeping when he felt the edge of the knife
Cold, sharp, hard against his throat.

“I am going to kill you now” the enemy said.

“Freind” said the waking sleeper
“You can kill me if you choose
“I lay here helpless at the cutting edge of your razor
“But before you spill my blood
“And leave me gurggling here in its spreading stain
“Please think on what I am about to say

The keen edge trembled and quavered
“Go on” the enemy said.

“Friend, you may kill me, end my life
“If you so choose
“But it is not me, who will die 
“But you

“I will go on, on to the eternal realms
“The next life awaits
“I am unafraid of death

“But you my friend, you will live
“And carry in your conscience this thing you did
“You will know
“You will carry this deed long after
“And forever in your immortal soul

The enemy hesitated, but a moment
Before slitting the victims throat

Such is the monumental stupidity
Of the enemy





"And against stupidity; even the Gods themselves; contend in vain" ( Issac Asimov )

Premium Member The Lamb

In Genesis
When 
Abraham asked by Issac
"Father, where is the lamb?"
Abraham answered
" Son, God will provide a Lamb"

Abraham was
Faithful
Willing
Offered 
His son 

God 
So loved
Abraham
Stopped him
And showed him
A RAM
Temporary sacrifice

John
Met Jesus
Baptized Him
The Holy Spirit
In the form of
A Dove
Landed on Him

Afterwards
John said,
"Behold 
The Lamb
Of God 
Who takes
Away 
The sin
Of the world"

Take note 
The sacrifice
Was supposed to be
A pure, unblemished
Young lamb
In Jewish law

Jesus was The Lamb

He was sacrificed...


  

1 Corinthians 5:7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch-as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

John 1:29
New Living Translation
Jesus, the Lamb of God
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

Also look at Genesis 22: 8-14
