It's not like children wearing color glasses,
Or like the spectacles protecting our eyes;
Jaundiced eyes are Like carnivorous glances,
Everything seems like preys in many a guise.
Isn't every human a true image of God?
Am I to reduce or offend anyone?
Didn't Jesus love even those who were a fraud?
Sacrificed his life for every frail human?
The Sadducees and Pharisees with their jaundiced eyes,
Thought themselves, caretakers of the Judaism;
They found Jesus was a man with no bias,
Yet, they threw on him mountains of criticism.
Though my eyes are jaundiced by my upbringing,
I have the freedom to change my perspectives;
I need to feel the goodness in me springing,
And end all disdain and intolerances.
I am given this life as a gift herein,
Using it or misusing is my judgment;
I know that the fullness of my life therein,
Will be the outcome of my true commitment…
Let me hearken to the call of the Spirit,
Lovingly embrace each brother and sister;
Look at them with eyes with no bias inbuilt;
Just like looking through the eyes of God's glister.
“Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life” (Proverbs 4:23)

I’m tempted to backhand the ones who call
us sixty-somethings old or elderly.
How dare they use such terms describing me?
Infuriating! Boy, do they have gall!
It’s fine to be solicitous and hold
the door—to be polite, but not for fear
that I’m about to croak and Death lurks near
to claim another oldster for his fold.
Now, whippersnappers, I was once like you,
misusing terms of age, as did my peers.
Our ignorance caused us to be unkind!
The elderly are ninety-somethings who
have been on Medicare for thirty years.
You would do well to keep that fact in mind!

we do a lot of things that we enjoy in our lives
yet much is required of those who want to abide by Jesus Christ
we've gotten so consumed with today's technological toys
and forgotten that Jesus died so we could have eternal joy
we're so caught up in society's ideology
to busy to reciprocate God's generosity
and until some great catastrophe occurs in life
we seldom take a moment to think about the Lord Jesus Christ
when much has been given to you then much will be required
concessions and sacrifices are the things you should strive to aspire
mankind has developed a natural tendency to destroy
anything of nature and beauty that God has deployed
no regard for humanity nor the creatures on this earth
we're selfish in our desires, our wants and needs come first
and when we confront each other, we tend to tear each other down
with words to humiliate, debase and knock each other to the ground
we thrive on destructive rage, yet struggle with constructive praise
we easily succumb to violence, always fighting among ourselves
dismissing God's instruction about sustaining spiritual wealth
for whatever God has created He desires we not abuse
yet mankind is apt to be disobedient in the decisions that we choose
God gave us so many wonderful things to enhance our existence
gifts that He desires we use without the indifference
so don't misuse the gifts from God for that is not what He perceived
He wants us to maximize everything that from Him we have received
just don't measure yourself by the standards of today's society
and don't get confused about what is God's generosity
It's not about the quantity of the stuff in life that you get
It's about the quality of your faith concerning your own spirit
and If you don't know what much is you need to know how much you've got
for you probably have more than you need and don't need to go out and shop
if we'd all stop abusing, stop misusing and no longer to be confused
just abide by God's commands and to live by the Good News
for when much has been given to you then much will be required
so conserve, preserve and respect all those things that God Himself inspired

If the ocean's water
were used as writing ink for pens
to write down our words of praise
the ocean would eventually dry up
before it might be put in writing.
evil will triumph
if the righteous remain silent
Inner defect causes blindness
success depends on action
stand up and do what
you realize is right
raise exertion level
a smidgeon suffices
to allow notions of impetus
you can then sleep well
your pick is akin to lacerations
requires precise timing
curious but uncertain.
blind attrition is pointless.
reach for stars
obtain an aerial view of the world
wave farewell to the land
live easily a prospective granted by
you are misusing beauty
greet the passing clouds.
forsake worries and avert your gaze
fear is a foe you must overcome
soar high and be wise.
If I ill treat with the Mother Nature
Go against the Creator’s will
Tyrannize and exploit the weaker
Means I am misusing God gifted power
Burrowing a big hole to go to the hell into myself
It’s sure that God will give me no good sense next
I will be born as one of the great mad in this wonderful world
then the Nature will be the silent evidence
of my sufferings
Believe or not, makes no difference
Misusing jargon and
confusing complex words
he became Dabber of idious
right before my face
his voice and online
presence
made him more exceptable to my
belottlings.
Saying I spoke such when I didn't
was fair game in such exchanges as I collected his words
to make him spectacle among his friends.
then might the words be spoken
to ruin what had been said as
queit and strong a type
of presence that ladies loved
and woman adorned.
When he began to speak I found
him vulerable to beleifs and superstitions.
Having music in the background often made it worst
as he then was a charcter
for folk to make a specticle of.
While many fast and pray
Some pray alone
Many give arms with a little say
Though answers are God's own
Train your mind
Bewildering your heart
To be of focus to find
Mercy beyond your current disturbing fault
Pay homage to His names
With due respect
To His kingdom's glory first
Glorious is He to hear out your claims
But before you pray
Try as much to forgive
Before you clear your way
Sharpen your tool; avoid its captive
Misusing grace is dreadful
Most misused never enjoy another chance
Judas never had for his act so collusive
Though all happened to give Christ's glory its rise
Use your gift
For the gift of the spirit
Ends on earth
While the seed of the spirit springs unending end forth
We are of different grace
Run your own race
Don't judge anyone
Even you can't perfect your own
They ask how this could come about?
How could a young man just snap,
this did not happen way back,
enough to make a good soul doubt.
They wonder why has it changed,
what’s different now than before,
what turns a young man to horror,
why are things not the same?
Craven folks say it’s all guns,
not above misusing a great loss
to advance their political cause,
never helping out anyone.
Some say that it’s the drugs,
medicating the boys of the world
because they are not little girls,
give them pills until their numb.
Perhaps they speak some truth,
it’s hard to grow, healthy and hale
when society demonizes males,
even when they’re in their youth.
But I think it’s more than that,
I don’t recall so many disturbed
back when our homes had fathers,
something so many now lack.
For young men especially,
an adult body and a child’s mind,
awash in hormones all the time,
of guidance they have a need.
’cause the cold, unyielding fact
is that men are for aggression bred,
and very like to end up dead,
if not taught control and tact.
A father is essential here,
one who’s survived life’s burdens,
learned what is required on men,
how to conquer masculine fears.
A single mother is not enough,
though her love is like a saint’s
she physical cannot restrain
a young man who's acting rough.
With more fathers in the home
to make clear just what life is,
and sometimes to crack the whip,
more boys would prosper and grow.
But to the nagging PC-crowd
to say that it makes good sense
to utilize such male guidance
is an idea denounced loud.
Most of them do not believe
that gender is even a thing,
and the great challenges it brings
They steadfastly will not see.
To claim that two parents are
crucial to a balanced life,
best achieved by man and wife,
to them is a step too far.
Ideology makes them blind,
they’d rather this mess go on
then dare reveal that they’re wrong
and have to change their mind.
And they won’t dare admit
that sex is not a social trope,
that the things real men know
could help put a stop to this.
So now we’re in this place,
the solution that they won’t see
is backed up by long history,
and should be encouraged post-haste…
…but I’m not holding my breath.
Cobalt is beautiful
Cobalt is deep blue
Blue is gorgeous
Blue is prominent
Prominent in the sky
Prominent in the ocean
Ocean water is deep
Ocean water filled
Filled with fish
Filled with coral
Coral is colorful
Coral is alive
Alive in ocean
Alive in reefs
Reefs are shelters
Reefs protect
Protect fish
Protect land
Land offers life
Land grows trees
Trees clean air
Trees give oxygen
Oxygen for life
Oxygen for humans
Humans are misusing
Humans take
Take resources
Take reserves
Reserves are low
Reserves lost
Lost for eternity
Lost forever
Forever destroyed
Forever needed
Needed for the future
Needed to live
Live on this planet
Live on this earth
Earth is grand
Earth God's plan
Plan for mankind
Plan for beauty
Beauty man understands
Beauty made perfect
Perfect match
Perfect for life
Life relished
Life love
Love
Relished
