Oh Israel perfect in prettiness
your own mother cast you out
and your brothers oppress you
But I have delighted in you
shielded you from their malice
separated you for myself
covered you with my own radiance
and betrothed you to my Son
You are the jewels of the Crown
I have worked my work
as a refiner burned away your dross
and made you more precious than gold
I will send for you with the chariots of your King
ten thousand times ten thousands your retinue
those who hated you
will see you glorified
For I myself have decreed it
I will lift you up before the nations
just a little while
take courage I myself with strengthen you
and the Son of my Love will guide you
with you the treasury will complete
and the wealth of the nations mine
Hold fast to the things you have
for my reward is with me
I will make you not ashamed
for the former things will pass away
and all things created new in you
Amen come Lord Jesus

Love and hate have been battling for years…each one struggling for control
each side hoping to govern our hearts and minds…and take control of our souls.
I am on the side of love…and its cousins acceptance and humanity…
but It’s not easy standing up to hate…and its cousins prejudice and bigotry.
We must, however,
because lately hate has been speaking with a louder…angrier voice..
which means…
for all of us who believe in love…
it’s time to make a choice.
To all the people hate is targeting…know this…it is you I’m thinking of….
and as others oppress you with their hate…I offer you my love.
And I encourage others to do the same
to unite our voices and actions in defense of the word we want to create…
It’s time for the voices of love…
to speak louder…and drown out the voices of hate.
We’ve waited long enough people….
now is the time to begin…
if our children are to have the future we hope for them
we cannot let hate win.
If you’ve been waiting and waiting and waiting
I ask…
what are you waiting for?
Hate has been winning too many battles….
It’s time for love…to win the war.
When dark despair and dismalness oppress
how then does joy keep its too, too brief cheer
when life and health forswear bliss no longer dear
and then embrace dark thoughts, dark days that depress?
When the claws of melancholy’s distress
seize, choke and kill death’s then too close, too near
for peace, for rest, or for freedom from fear:
how then does one so wretchéd suffer this stress?
Although fate can assault with great despair
hope and faith in God’s love and Jesus’s blood
withstand the trials of life that one may bear
her tribulations as something made good
and perfect through him, for as a loved joint-heir
with him her unbelief is nailed in dogwood.

Open poem to DAPL
So when did living here before you become a crime?
Was it before or after you fed us lies?
So many of our people suffered and died
So that yours could live and thrive.
When did you become more important then me?
There's greed that clouds your eyes so you don't see
The distruction behind your path
And the evil in your shameless wrath.
Forced upon us death by location
Delivering us into your false salvation.
You want our home, the place of our heart
And continue to plant your seeds to leave your mark.
Generations of oppression run in my veins
And you have the nerve to overlook our pain.
Genocide by your ancestors onto mine
And not much has changed within time.
Today we still feel the fight
Right now its oil over life.
That aint right.
To feed the mouths of few
And to benefit mostly you.
Continuining to oppress our people
Feeding us dishonesty in your sheeple.
But the war for this land has always been forged
And our cries for change are constantly ignored.
We march in resistance and defy odds
This kind of heart cannot be taught.
Warriors by heart protectors by blood
It will take a lot more than a pipeline, genocide or opression to stop us.
Our prayers are heard and we will continue to pray
To protect our water is to protect our sacred ways.
Standing together creating a wall
We will watch your greed, your lies and your impure intentions fall.
You cannot eat oil nor replace our mother land
So in Standing Rock together we STAND.
Grateful am I as triumph reigns over distress
since my heart has overcome bouts of depression-duress
conquering frustration angsts that oppress
midst prevailing hope, serving as steadfast fortress!
With support system anchoring me with cheer
blissful serenity has defied attacking fear
driving my commitment with kindness-filled gear
toward bouncing up and moving on, indeed very clear!
Though skeptical to vanquish lurking gloom
my faith has chosen victory over mockery of doom
not willing to face early death along inviting tomb
believing that eternity offers peace ever since I was in my Mom's womb!
Now that I am in the ministry of reaching-out
my spirit thanks the Divine Source of life, without any doubt
as thanksgiving prevails for miracles against unbelief-clout
joyfully keeping on, encouraging others with "We can do it" shout!
Overcome
Electric roots in my tooth, sending a shock,
through my whole body system,
Electric roots in my tooth, sending a shock,
through my whole body system,
Electric roots in my tooth, sending the truth,
through my whole body system,
I guess that’s what they call, the fight from within.
Like Jah said unto us, from up above, you must overcome,
Like Jah said unto us, from up above, you must overcome,
Like Jah said unto us, from up above, you must overcome,
In this endless, complicated, struggle.
For nothing comes easy and life is hard,
You can’t get all you want, if you don’t put in the effort.
People will oppress you, to stop you doing what you want,
But this is the reason, you’ve got to try harder to get it.
Then we shall overcome,
Yes we shall overcome.
Rebel against the man, if he’s bringing you down,
Don’t worry about the police, acting the clowns.
For they shall never stop us, reaching our dizzy heights,
They shall never put an end to our fight.
For this is our fight from within,
And this is a fight we can win
And this is a fight we shall win.
For we shall overcome, anyone who stands in our way now;
We shall overcome, anybody who oppresses us today now
And we shall overcome.
So remember my brothers and sisters, the fight is yours,
Only we ourselves, are able to overcome;
The oppression and depression, forced onto us,
By the man with the power controlling our world.
But we shall overcome, yes we shall overcome now;
For our battle is not yet won, so we shall overcome.
So rebel against the system, if it’s bringing you down,
Rebel against yourself, if you’re hurting yourself now.
Rebel against anybody who gets in your way,
For freedom is ours to reach for and we shall have it today;
For we have overcome,
Yes we have overcome.

Key Verse – Deuteronomy 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth.
HEART THAT HEARKENS DILIGENTLY UNTO THE VOICE OF THE LORD
Our heart hearkens unto the voice of the Lord despite our difficulty
With His eyes of love, assuring security
Really caring for us midst sin-infirmity
Hence, forgiving us in our repentant sincerity.
Our heart hearkens unto the voice of the Lord despite our hardship
With His discernment of prayer fellowship
Really inviting us toward joyful worship
Hence, guiding us to seek His fatherly leadership.
Our heart hearkens unto the voice of the Lord despite our pain
With His vision of heavenly gain
Really insuring us eternal treasures against wealth so vain
Hence, strengthening us to work for soul-business which is the very main.
Our heart hearkens unto the voice of the Lord despite our distress
With His focus of inspiration inside His divine fortress
Really upholding us against frustrations that oppress
Hence, moving us to continue while our self-pity He does suppress.
Our heart hearkens unto the voice of the Lord despite our travail
With His enlightenment of truth’s detail
Really illumining us so that His wisdom we can avail
Hence, guiding us in our ministry-journey’s sail.
Our heart hearkens unto the voice of the Lord despite our sadness
With His presence of watchfulness midst blest blissfulness
Really enveloping us with His triumphant peacefulness
Hence, reviving us along His mercy and grace-goodness.
Our heart hearkens unto the voice of the Lord despite our affliction
With His salvation assurance along His ready sanctification
Really forgiving us of our sin-confession with His restoration
Hence, helping us to become victorious by His empowering transformation.

Compile a list of all your losses,
worst moments,
fears and hatreds,
your defensive fears
and most angry
dispassionate
paranoid dualdark bilateral margins,
edges,
boundary issues
and double-binding love-hate dipolarities
of gooey too-yin stuckness
in ambivalent waves
of notnot yet
notnot past
so all is left
is Lose to Lose
notnot (0) remainder hopeless.
Now compare a fractal spiral
of all your gains
from embryonic Winter
WinWin (0)-sum Mother's Womb,
through pre-pubescent LeftBrain growing dominant languaged Spring,
on into full middle-aged
and gendered Left and RightBrain balancing Summer
of egalitarian ecopolitical EarthTribe peace
with global ego/eco-justice,
through Elder RightBrain's sacred ecological Fall
as Autumn Harvest Yang-with-Yin Solidarity Strength
and not so much Original Sin of Monocultural Hubris
acting against, to oppress,
MotherEarth as Yin RightBrain EcoCentering Wisdom
about how to play our cooperative
WinWin
Boundary Issues
from marginalizing birth
through demarginalizing death,
Now compare and contrast
listed losses
with spiraling gains
toward WinWin.
As marginal victims flow through boring Business As Usual
economic and political and psychological classes
on how best to not measure progress
transcending military-industrialized competitive violence,
way too much LeftBrain dominant
over-Yanged hubris,
way too pre-millennial
to even think WinWin
YangYin
about
bipolarities now new-edged
Yang with Yin,
Left with Right, double-margin wu-wei
ego with eco-therapeutic bilateral opportunities,
health care giving and receiving for all
climates
and landscapes,
boundaries
and relationships,
marginalizing issues
and bicameral ego/eco-systemic opportunities
to play polypathic WinWin.
immortal humans
one of the sign in the beginning
of understanding?
is the wish to die Kafka said
once to life
once to die
the space in between
is called history
and if it well spent
it means legacy
so i wonder
how many live today
with a legacy
when i look
around i see
too many histories
repeating while
it leaves the poor
a legacy
immortal humans
are but only the poor
who are the poor
they are
the innocent humble soul
if you wish a dictionary
we are the tree standing
with every source of life
we are the legacy
they are our history
they that suppress us
they that oppress us
they that deprive us our freedom
they that course wars in our lands
they are our history
at the end like a smoke
they curse by their evil egos
they will fade away
then our survival will show
the world that we are
immortal humans
immortal humans
are the victims of today's
systematically slaves
we are not been chased
today
we are not been forced physically
any more
we not been wiped like of the
old days
yet the system systematically
force us
chase us
wipe us
inflate us
use us
yet at the end of the day
miraculously
we still exists
we still living
our life's are like
a magic to them
it surprised them how come
we keep increasing
despite there evil brutality
upon us
so i realise there fears
despite their power
they are only just flesh
and blood without? heart
and no soul
either do they understand
life or obey nature
Wickedness is their
tools like their fruit
are the ugly wars
for at the end of
the day they can't touch
the sun
either could they destroy
us to the end
for we are dead already
through our poor lifes
yet we still living
and that is a prove
that we are
immortal humans
What is Man?
What is Mankind?
But A cannibal who likes to eat up one another's minds, mentally I mean.
We just like to criticise negatively that is, violate, belittle, ostracize, subjugate, oppress one another.
We love to feel superior, that we are better than, we have somethin over the other.
That we are more important.
And so we discriminate at will, segregate, even incriminate,.
Man is just a lousy, fallible, worthless and fickle piece of number 2
With an expiry date that is unclear and unknown.
So then why shouldn't we just try to live in peace and not pieces,
In love and not war and constant endless unnecessary strife evermore.
What can't we see the good in each other,
Learn to congratulate , uplift, as opposed to pulling down more.
Why can't we be willing to help one another more,
Find fault less, help up more, push down less.
Why should we feel better than just because we are richer, or the other poor,
And try and cooperate and build up more?
Try to develop the ingredients and skills of Listening, observing and understanding More, and talking and ignoring a little less.
Stop being aloof, and try to come down a little.
Stop passing each other without a greeting and without a care or concern whatsoever.
Try Reaching out a tid bit more or tad bit more.
Develop a mantra to make life easier, and better and smoother for you and me and everyone else from now on. Make to vow to that effect or effort.
Try your best to alleviate or mitigate not augment the hurt, the infighting, the gap, the rampant disunity and pulling and tugging we see and encounter every day.
This should be the main purpose of our lives.
To add, not subtract, To Improve.
Define Human Nature.
It is Conquer, Condition the other to Capitulation,
It Is Plunder and Pillage. It is Coldness and Cruelty.
She Is Me First. Or I First. She is All about Me. More of Me and Less of You.
Or More For Me and Less or None For You. She is merely Like a selfish Endeavour or Entity.
We need to try to change or rearrange this foolish and stupid Definition as promptly as possible.
Reshuffle that way of Thinking or thought process.
