Premium Member A Tribute To the True Heroes-Mothers

In the beginning when the Godhead decided a new race to create,
He made Adam and Eve and gave them the ability to procreate. 
With God as Creator and Adam as father,
Eve was destined the nations of the world to mother.

 The serpent so subtle and cunning caused Eve to sin,
And in that very moment the consequence of dying did begin, 
As punishment God said Adam’s life would be toilful,
And the process of childbirth for Eve would be painful.

Eve was so elated when she gave birth to her firstborn son Cain,
But little did she know that he would be the cause of much pain.
Soon after she birthed her second son named Abel,
He God’s command did obey, but against God Cain did rebel.

When God refused his offering, he let anger boil up in his head,
And when it was all over his brother Abel was dead,  
Even as his birth brought joy to his mother Eve,
His violence against his brother caused her heart to grieve

Though our mothers the perfection of Eve do not possess,
We their children throughout our lives must confess,
They surely inherited all her maternal qualities,
As evidenced by our mothers’ numerous abilities.

   They carry us for nine months often in great discomfort,
Then have to endure the physical torture of childbirth,
After we are born a lifetime nurture and caring commences,
Often in the face of numerous obstacles and sundry offences.

The roles mothers perform are too many to number,
Nurse, wife, chef, chauffeur, broken heart mender,
Psychologist, teacher, activist, referee, entertainer, nutritionist,
Alchemist, gardener, homemaker, law enforcer and home economist.

When God the family did establish and roles for its members did assign,
A special role for mothers he did wisely design,
This multifaceted role which required such skill could be filled by none other,
Than the indefatigable, amazing person we simply call mother.

So, on this day devoted to the honor of mothers,
We pay tribute to the ones who spend their lives caring for others,
Whether they are alive or dead,
We will never let the memory of them fade from our head.

Telly the Trendsetter

:)           

What kids are watching on telly
are crimes and crimes in all variety! 

Crimes of hate 
crimes of passion
acting it out at shocking rate
thinking in some wild fashion
then ending up cell mates! 

When kids watch their movie heroes
shoot down people with the gun
they are incited to do the same
to achieve some thrill and fun.

When they see their very film star
slash someone's throat in a fit of anger
they think well of crimes of rage
and plunge everybody else into danger.

The tendency to portray the violent scene
luridly and shockingly on the Big Screen

Ah even for the small screen, tis the gory
that makes for the dark and thrilling story.

Now that technology's long opened this pandora's box
the dispersal of amplified social ills ain't no hoax

The rowdy hoodlums and reckless gangsters
are simply by-products of Tv influences
The world watches the thriving of the bully-boy pranksters
passively in helpless terror of their offences.


It's all portrayal of the vulgar, the obscene
by that devious Silver Screen

And the horror movie
though it may seem groovy
begets the horrendous
and drills evil thoughts subliminally
into the subconscious! 

It's an unrestrained dark faking
of real life reality exaggerating

Whether it's Bollywood in the East
or it's Hollywood in the West
they don't merely impart tactics of defence
but rather those of aggressive offence

Viewing those gruesome swashbuckling films
gives rise to morbid sadistic whims

Flipping through the TV channels
just ponder if the telly's the perfect channel
of information is it a proper panel? 

Dad always tells me, 'fear ye the roaches' flicking antennae? 
While you oughtta fear the influence
of 'em' flickering images by dish antennae'.

Then a mere single merit that I dug
as I drank cappucino in my mug
that atleast one couldn't live in a bubble
daily watching the bubblebug.


Ah but then tougher gun laws couldn't halt
even underage shooting sprees
Rather it's stringent scanning of Tv content
that might make it all cease

Parental supervision too tis gravely essential
Should've been of parental code quintessential

So the next time you catch your teen
absorbed and engrossed while glued to the screen
Just sleuth a bit just to make sure
that for the x-rated he's not too keen!

Premium Member The convict king '

There is a convict king..An omnivore
 Who eats the atrocious, yet showed
A brother the door' for lesser offences?
Though bad no doubt.' He's also put in the shade, by dark pontifs, where is the
Righteous shout ? The hue and cry.' The
potus's call.? The vigilant news corps
When did things fall.? Perhaps when the
Serpent slithered hugging the tree that
Held all knowledge, through as a mist i
See.? A form of growth a system that
Branches rich in foliage, yet that covers
Your chances..Lost in wonder of what can
Be by man-made.? Muscles become lax, as 
So dense the messaging under this type of shade.)

Premium Member God Be Thanked For My Revival

God be thanked for my spiritual revival
He graciously wrought in my life by His grand arrival
When He saved me from hell’s damnation and sinful survival
Granting me life eternal, assuring me heavenly and divine upheaval.

God be thanked for my revival constantly
As He reminds me to live by faith continuously
And leads me through His Word of truth ceaselessly
So I can abide in Him, relying on His faithful ways confidently.

God be thanked for my revival by His loving kindness 
Healing my carnality-afflicted blindness with His forgiveness
Clearing my blurred vision thru His wisdom’s enlightening brightness
Caring for me with His compassion, uplifting me from me from my weakness.

God be thanked for His revival in the power of His might
Smiting my arrogance to submit to His sovereignty’s height
Reproving me of my disobedience to bring me to what’s right
Upholding me in His strength so that I can always walk in His light.

God be thanked for my revival, making me Spirit-filled
While He meets me in prayer that causes me to be soul-stilled
He deals with me by His precepts, correcting my being self-willed
So I can submit to Him fully, loving and living for Him, so blessedly-thrilled.

God be thanked for my revival as He enables me to go soulwining
To bring the lost to the Savior Who can transform them from sinning  
To fulfil my part for the Great Commission along His consistent training
And help build lives for His glory thru His church, with His love, constraining. 

God be thanked for my revival subduing Satan’s temptation
Despite offences, my Father works for my character-transformation 
Amidst troubles, my Comforter* cheers me, with His joy and compassion
In my struggles, my Lord fights for me, granting me His peace and protection.

*Isaiah 51:3 For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places...

Binds us to cleave to His promises of great worth
Beautifies us to waste not His strength in our weakness
Blesses us in our wants while being vigilantly watchful. Amen!

Premium Member HEART THAT FOLLOWS THE LORD AS GOD

September 2 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Ezekiel 13-15

Key Verse – Ezekiel 13:3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

HEART THAT FOLLOWS THE LORD AS GOD

Our heart follows the Lord as God with His righteousness
Against wickedness of iniquities’ filthiness
To sanctify us for heavenly pursuits through His holiness
While He shields our soul from evil sinfulness.

Our heart follows the Lord as God with His compassion’s function
Against spoilage of violence-contention
To protect us for kind deeds along virtuous transformation
While He guards our devotion from strife’s destruction.

Our heart follows the Lord as God with His wisdom
Against decisions of foolishness’ boredom
To direct us for biblical truths in advancing His kingdom
While He guides our mind from humanistic atheistic freedom.

Our heart follows the Lord as God with His might
Against dealings of treachery’s blight
To empower us for pleasant faith-acts of His delight
While He strengthens our trust from unbelief’s sight.

Our heart follows the Lord as God with His mercy
Against afflictions of bitterness’ persistency
To help us for sincere service by His fervency
While He pulls our spirit from wrath’s despondency.

Our heart follows the Lord as God with His presence
Against gloominess of desolation’s silence
To cheer us up for joyful worship upon His divine license
While He blesses our life from offences’ prevalence.

Our heart follows the Lord as God with His authority
Against disobedience of rebelliousness’ tenacity
To control us for submissive surrender to His sovereignty
As He upholds our confidence from selfish vanity.

Spititual Works

Just in the feeding of one who is hungry
Or giving drink to someone who is thirsty 
To clothe those who have no clothes 
Or sheltering the homeless in times of woes 
 
Visiting and caring for those who are ill in bed 
Help the imprisoned and always respect the dead
These are the seven simple Corporal Works of Mercy
For within our self it is others suffering that we can see   

But we must also instruct those who are ignorant
And those who are in doubt, counseling in His Word sent
And in even admonishing sinners and the direction of their way 
While bearing wrongs patiently this is what Jesus would say 

And forgive all offences willingly and without delay
Taking time to comfort the afflicted by helping them in their way 
And continue to pray for both the living and the dead.
As these are the seven Spiritual Works which is how Jesus led

Premium Member Pardon My French

The most feckless corrupt Pres in living memory pardons his grifter son. 


But not just for deliberately evading taxes and firearms violations. No, Joe went further. His pardon includes all offences he may or may not have committed back to Jan 1 2014 which coincidentally gives him immunity for his time as a Burisma board member as a crackhead earning millions of dollars in Ukraine and millions more influence peddling selling access deals to Russian oligarchs and Chinese companies aligned with the Chinese Communist Party. All with daddy’s knowledge and approval. 

Well pardon my French but that is a f***in’ disgrace!

Premium Member Sins of Commission

I tried to draft a poem to gain your approbation.
But time and distance got in my way.
I tried to write the perfect prose to demonstrate my skill.
But the memory of standing before a rose covered coffin
Left me silent and enraged!

Isn’t it odd how time and distance can distort perception?
Change remembrance,
Warping sad memories, blackening our feelings
Where our unworthiness might dwell.

It is not a type of weakness when communication goes awry. 
Misunderstandings can lead to anger.
Clinging to resentment  
I wear the wounds, still unattended and raw
seeking correction, repentance, awareness is all.

I did not notice the consequences as this became hearts home.
A self-imposed prison awaiting invisible adjudication.
Waiting for contrition or recompense.
Old offences may be sins of omission.
My heart cannot bring them out of my cell.

Gracious forgiveness is the sad recourse left.
I must stand arm and arm with them now,
And release the debt they will not pay.


I suppose it is latent forgiveness that slows this poet’s pen

And I fall to my knees, bowing my head,
Seeking God’s Grace again.

Premium Member George Floyd

Two hundred fatalities, hundred more to die, 
The number keeps growing. 
unbridled guns in the hands of sadistic cops, 
another victim on choke hold.
he is not of their coat,
no need for the court.
we go there to mourn, 
and “justice”  a mere joke. 
another victim is their statistics, 
they brought their ancestors with guns.
Led them forcefully through the seas, 
They build the place you called home. 
yet murders their children at random, 
do they have another home?
They obliterate history and silence the offspring by murders.  
he knelt his neck to the grave,
he dares his maker for justice, 
A deliberate murder in modern America.
The stretcher was waiting, 
cause they meant to kill him.  
indeed they killed him, 
ensure he died, as he cried helplessly to deaf ears.  
This  is how they kill us in turns, 
And for same  offences by Johnny 
they look the other way. 
Hey Johnny  “stay cool” & stay safe. 
But they snuff his life out. 
Just because his coat is different 
again they killed another, who is next?

Goodnight George Floyd
