Moving horizontally and vertically
It was an accident or done purposely
It's been disturbing me
Nothing lasts for an eternity
You either do or don't live life worry-free
With no urgency
Even during an emergency
Regardless of the uncertainty
Working earnestly
Always showing courtesy
Going through hard times currently
Not giving one hundred percent, only one-third of me
From Cachagua to beyond Germany
The skies occasionally burgundy
On a daily basis doctors perform surgery
On patients with or without burns that are third degree
Close to or far from a nursery
As well as objects made with or without mercury
Folks sometimes committing perjury
And far too often taking things personally
It's absurdity
That they did a burglary
During their anniversary
I don't hate you
I know we do or don't hold the same views
They didn't or they knew
Wasn't always able to make do
Took one, time I take two
Working towards a breakthrough
Neverending Story, like Atreyu
I won't or just may prove
That I can pull my own weight too
Animal and human life is sacred
Waters getting tainted
An ugly picture being painted
Time continually wasted
A nation, ahem, I mean nations full of hatred
On a daily basis, topics being debated
Prices rarely dropping, usually inflated
In this way it hasn't been stated
Since life was created
Got to face it, if you want to make it
No matter if your elated or frustrated
And feeling devastated
Better save it, or you'll be annihilated
Yet another lifeform obliterated
Not fully aware of their situations
Or ready for any incoming complications
Those who today loudly voice their complaints
Might do well to study a people most quaint
The Jewish People for 3,332 years has survived
Despite pogroms and holocausts, still quite alive
A former slave nation exiled to Persia almost 2,500 years ago
Jerusalem then razed to the ground by Rome, as you know
Jews lived by the skin of their teeth for 1,900 years
Until they retook Jerusalem in 1967, a miracle it appeared
Herded into ghettos in Western Europe 'til Napoleon
And the 'Pale of Settlement' further east 'til the 20th century dawned
Jews kept a low profile, in the face of Injustice didn't complain
Beatings, Blood-Libels, Round-ups -- all sorts of Pain
Jews couldn't own land; they were barred from all professions
Countless peasants falsely accused Jews of murder at confession
The Jew became a middleman, a despised money-changer
If he tried to pass for a gentile, his very life was in danger
As if all that weren't enough, last century 6 million precious Jewish souls
died in Nazi gas chambers, crematoria, trenches, open holes
One-third of all the world's Jews wiped out in just six years
Pregnant women and infants murdered in that Valley of Tears
Today Jews are in Jerusalem, Israel! a People standing strong
They refused to give up hope just because they were wronged
What's their secret, you may ask. How did they do it
No smoke. No mirrors. They just stubbornly stuck to it...
Rule #1: Education, universal literacy for all of their seed
From the age of three, every Jewish child's taught to read
Next: Family purity, the holiness and sanctity of wedlock
Women always had rights! but no infant aborted, no child 'bad luck'
And finally, what kept it all together, down through the ages
An unshakeable belief in God and His Law, no matter the outrages
So, from the Jews you might want to take a softer-voiced cue
For you too can do it. Just follow three rules...
Bogdan Chmielnicki sits astride a horse
A magnificent statue in Central Kiev
To a monumental Ukrainian figure
A George Washtington-style liberator
He took it to the Poles in the 1600's
A lone Jew glances at Bogdan on his horse
Forgive him his disgust, of course, for
That Cossack and his army murdered
Nearly every Jew in Kiev -- on their way
To killing 600,000 Jews, one-third
Of the Jews then in Europe, during an
Unprecedented Reign of Terror...*
Leave Chmielnicki astride his horse
Let Ukraine celebrate Bogdan
~ without one ounce of remorse

*Chmielnicki's Reign of Terror is known
by the abbreviation 'Tach v'Tat,' which is
short form for the Hebrew calendar year
corresponding to 1648-49. The Cossacks'
genocidal campaign lasted through 1660.
I was looking at the small pill-cutter box
Which I was holding in my hand.
Blue colored with a sharp edge of the blade
To cut the medicine in halves, one-third or
Could also be, in one-fourth, maybe.
I was thinking, simultaneously, about the news
I heard today, which made me puzzled….
Churches and bombings, again, so vulnerability!
So vulnerable with this cloak of religiosity
In this utter disastrous time of unrest and confusion!
I woke up again…. just to get another news of the death
A death in the family, ending of a marvelous life, so precious!
I whispered a line of supplication for the departed
And also, for me, as there was something to do….
And, I was holding the pill cutter still in hand, indecisively.

Early summer flowering deciduous shrubs,
And I among them came and went with
Philadelphus virginalis,
Their brightening solar ships.
Its natural tendency is to grow vase-shaped,
Clipping encourages the plant to fill out
And become dense, and in my final spring
It performed beautifully, flowering prolifically.
Mock orange is not a heavy feeder.
It loves sun and reads memories
On cactus leaves with sideways glares,
Though on an "established" plant,
One should prune out about one-third
Of the old growth (the trivialities of life's Agur),
Allowing the gloried lightness of day
To seize upon bright green leaves.
Years ago I did so choose, to go on a Caribbean clipper ship cruise,
and, in addition to several other islands,
anchored off Nevis, northwest of Saint Kitts,
where, in the late 1780's, Nelson had lived,
and still bears traces of his presence today,
in various parts, pieces and bits.
When our windjammer Skipper informed us,
'Shopping here's good, snorkeling is bad,'
I avoided the former, sought out the latter,
and, as a matter of fact, a good time was had,
for no sooner had I ducked under,
two feet from the waterline,
in about one foot deep (shallow) water,
tho' visibility was, in inches, no more than nine,
I espied a white clay churchwarden pipe,
which I retrieved, broken, not whole,
with one third of the stem, and most of the tobacco-burned bowl.
1787, Nelson married the widow Fanny Nisbet on Nevis,
and, as the island he was about to depart,
'Desist smoking or else!'
Horatio may have heard her insist or impart,
and that which I found, I've a mind to say,
was his very last pipe, he'd reluctantly tossed overboard,
on that sunny day, when, as Captain of Boreas, he sailed away.
SAD DIZAIN
When destiny betrays, sorrow is less,
but if faith be deceived, grudge can be grown.
Wrath and anger burn surpassing sadness.
Hostile circumstances are not to mourn,
but turn tragic, if I approach alone.
Failure is so sad to experience,
when I am confident of competence.
Sad refusal, sad is separation
Yet, both appear as common occurrence.
Sorrow is endured, if shared by loved one.

Be aware there are shadows about
The serpent has been busy preparing dens of blood and bone grout
Many eggs has it lain
Circling the world over and over again
With hypnosis in its eyes
Its tongue full of lies
In every country every city and every little town
Its prey works for it to tare the world down
Disguised as an angel it has tried this once before
Devouring one third before being thrown out the door
Now building its army from those it devours
Its eggs waiting for the day and the hour
Be warned be prepared
Be vigilant but not scared
It can not bite it has no teeth
Its head will be crushed under Yashewa's feet
Don't stare into its eyes
Don't listen to its lies
The wealth of this world is conjured from our blood
And will be destroyed and washed away like mud
There is but one God and one way to Him
It is through His son the Christ who knew no sin
At minimum- we spend one-third of life
within a void, referred to as sound sleep;
a void that grants serenity or strife-
and waking up can make us smile or weep.
Where do we go when we shut tight our eyes
and fall into a deep, unconscious state;
set free into some mystic space- likewise,
a realm, where past and present, future wait?
Is there a timeline where our minds can see
the past- where memories again play on a stage;
or look ahead to all that's meant to be
encoded in a dream we cannot gauge?
We spend one-third of life in these vast voids-
set free into some mystic space- likewise,
as strange, unconscious, traveling, humanoids!
Where do we go when we shut tight our eyes?

Ephesians 4:27 admonishes all believers in Jesus Christ, not to give a place to the devil. As a direct result of our anger because when we lose control of our own emotions, the devil has won a victory! The devil is a thief who comes only to rob steal kill and destroy us. If we give the devil even one inch or one meter, he will take a whole mile from us.
The devil comes to steal our joy our peace and our fellowship with Jesus Christ and fellow believers. The devil comes to kill us. He knows full well he cannot destroy our spirit. Because he cannot rob us of our everlasting life! But he can kill our minds and destroy our souls during this life only!
The devil comes to destroy us he can destroy our families, our homes, neighborhoods for example. The human family is what God has based the foundation of human society. Some of his worse assaults has been to destroy the family units. Usually he accomplishes it via absentee fathers and/or mothers.
The devil is the world's greatest lairs of all times. He is murderer from the beginning of time and a liar. He hates God, His Holy Angels, His Heavenly and His Earthly Saints! By destroying God's created beings, he can strike back at His own Creator! He was a usurper who wanted to kick God off of His throne and take His place! He lead one third of his angels against God!
He was the snake in the Garden of Eden who deceived Eve. And who caused Adam to also sin against God! Adam and Eve were forgiven. Why because sin already existed! However, God cannot forgive Satan, because sin originated through him alone. Neither can He forgive his fallen angles or demonic spirits! Resist the devil and he shall flee from you! Bound, the strong man, the devil himself!
In Jesus Christ's Holy Name!
