Premium Member Plucking Poisons From My Mind

Pessimism, I loathe your gloomy effect
Parroting vanity’s vexation in my mind that I’m unprofitable…
God I thank; by His strength* is great achievement as I do my utmost.

Negativism, I vanquish your vehement accusations
Taunting me of my failures, falls, and frustrations… 
I praise the Lord for His compassion, pressing me on with optimism!

Skepticism, I conquer your attacking doubts
Robbing me of my sanity’s tranquility; torturing me mentally…
The omniscient Sovereign I trust as I settle myself serenely in His truth!

Criticism, I subdue your undermining, deceitful, hypocritical comments
Treating me as a loser in my service-commitment…
Propped by the Almighty’s power, I can be the best for His glory!

Evil thoughts, I pluck all your poisonous roots from my soul’s ground…
Thru the Scriptures’ exhortations, I can bloom and prosper
Triumphantly living for my Master, reaching others by His love!

*Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

The Black Experience

Black History Month began as "***** History Week"
Our holiday was adopted at a time when the country was bleak
Created in 1926 by noted African American Historian, Carter G. Woodson
Today, we celebrate the "Congressional Gold Medal" of Eugene Goodman
It became a month-long celebration in February 1976
To celebrate the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln

Black History Month honors the contributions of African Americans
The historical contributions of Barack Obama and Kamala Harris
They deserve recognition because of their contributory impact on the nation
Another Black History Month contribution by Frank Wills from Watergate
The Security Guard was forever ostracized, because he didn't hesitate

It's time to speak the unvarnished truth,
and to do so as often and loudly as we can
I recall the fear and prejudice that were expressed by many
How do we confront this virus of injustice?
We must speak truth to power.

The burden of confronting injustice and racism
Must not be viewed through rose colored negativism
Hold accountable those who prey on black people's fears
And biases with lies, conspiracies, and tears

We must speak out forcefully and act with conviction
We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality
Tied in a single garment of destiny
Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere

Premium Member I Am Flawed

I AM FLAWED

Accept me as what I am for nobody is perfect.
I am not broken, I am just an imperfect person.
Who isn’t?  I am just like anybody else with 	
flaws, weaknesses, imperfections that I do not
hide for I do not live in illusion or acting based
on other peoples’ expectations or opinions of me.

I know I am flawed that I learn to laugh at my flaws
and I even say “thank you, I already know that”.
As far as I know, my flaws only affect me and no
one else for it is beyond my character to hurt or
belittle and to use or take advantage of other people.
He is the One who knows my flaws more than I know them. 

That I don’t give a damn about what others think and say.
I am not torn between my reputations based on their opinions
and my character based on who I am; strengths and flaws.
I cannot live in pretense, façade, lies just to please anybody.
I do not wear a mask to hide my imperfections and I cannot
be cracked from the negative things I hear and said about me.

I neither say much nor ask too many questions for it is
best to observe and listen than to compare, complain and
criticize for I am no judge, as it is He who would in the end.
As I said, I am flawed and one of my flaws is staying away
from negativism and that includes people closed to me. 
Although it is harder to let go for it is really heart breaking.

However, I rather stay away and remember the good things
about them and the beautiful memories I had with them or
I rather walk away than pretend that everything is all right.
I may stay away or walk away; but I am always ready to be
around when they need me and help them in any way I can
rain or shine or come what may to support and assist them.

Premium Member Lasting Love

It starts out and ends up with Love
   for a partner you think the world of
Yet the middle poses daily tests
   where the verdict of a marriage rests

To list all these tests would take a book
   So let's just take the briefest look
At qualities you'll need in spades
   To earn yourselves a passing grade

Acceptance I feel is number one
   It keeps a marriage healthy, fun
Use it when you learn that 'perfection'
   Is a goal wise couples shun

Next comes mutual respect, understanding
   Never accomplished by grandstanding
Always respect each other's space and privacy
   Know when hugs are needed, or a gentle "I see"

One last quality that's key is good cheer and optimism
   Loving greetings and goodbyes - never negativism
Encourage, inspire and support; lend a helping hand
   Cultivate all this and Love ~ even marriage can withstand

Premium Member Jesus And The Demons

As thorns exist with the rose, or redness subsists with blood
The evil that dwells in hearts has its traits in the physique.
Though humans try to nip all negativism in the bud,
Expressions of the powers of pessimism are unique.

They lived with humans who couldn't live with other humans.
Some took shelter in hills and mountains, and some lived in tombs.
To them, day-to-day life and duties seemed like illusions.
As though in unison with nature, they tore their costumes.

Jesus contained them all, as a sea could hold any drop.
His words and touch, as medicinal herbs, healed their ailments.
Peace, joy, and freedom in physique and psyche flowed nonstop.
All who witnessed his acts praised his divine accomplishments.

Demons, yet, in the form of Sadducees and Pharisees
Finding fault with him, they could find their souls, never at ease.
