Life is a battlefield

This life is a fierce battlefield,
Little did I know before my birth,
My weapons should have been better honed,
So no earthly force could conquer me.

Friends I made while I was nobody,
Turned to foes when I sought to be somebody,
Those I loved with all my heart and soul 
Blew pepper in my eyes when vision blurred. 

Deceit comes robed in sheep's clothing,
But in its mouth lie poisonous fangs,
Mental torture is their specialty –
They wield it without a flicker of remorse.

When I wept from the pains they inflicted,
They dried my tears with clean handkerchiefs,
Their smiles conceal their bitter hearts,
Veiled in peace, their souls steeped in a vile bile. 

Why were some people made just to hate?
They rejoice when they see their friends cry,
They are logs happier as stumbling blocks.
Than as bridges across a stormy river.

Had I come with my own weapons,
Their jugular would have been severed 
To drain their wickedness till dry,
To purge their hearts of bitterness till empty,
And plant in their minds true love to grow.

Same Fight Everywhere

Same fight everywhere
Everyone want to be 
Free from something
Our freedom differs
Yet could be connected
To one root
That root that promised
Us the sources
We hope it the provider
Of all we deserve
It sad how deeply 
It just but an illusion
Of just an ordinary 
Control 

Same fight everywhere
Everyone freedom differs
Yet it source speaks same 
Root 
The root that brings freedom
The root we thinks 
Could be our redemption
The root we was thought of 
And that is sad 
Cos we never find it out 
Our self
So I wonder how another
Mans imposition could 
Makes you a total free person

Same fight everywhere
Some fight for freedom Is
Brutal
Some look okay but it pains
Equals brutality
Some looks calm
But more destructive in heart
Our fight everywhere are 
Same 
As long as you need be free
Freedom is freedom
Is either you have it 
Or you live to get one cos it
Same fight everywhere

Nightmares

If you think the nightmares
You have as a kid
Are really all that scary
Then have a listen to this

With your monsters in the closet
Boogie men under the bed
Werewolves at the window
Ghosts floating overhead

They don't even come close
To the stress of the adult
Let me take the time to enlighten you
To the real nightmares through this poem

There's the annoying bill collector
Always beating on the door
As your Uncle Sam AKA the Tax Man
Is always wanting more

And just when you think gas prices
Have reached the ultimate peak
They raise the price 20¢ over night
Then double that the next week

How about your job down sizing
And not inviting you along
With your entire lot now in a box
Sold down the river with a song

And let's not forget the aches and pains
That magically appear
Over every square inch of your body
Year by year by grueling year

Or when the doctor comes in the room
And asks you to sit down
Informing you in a week or two
You'll no longer be around

So if you want to swap nightmare stories
You'd better pull those covers tight
Cause adulthood has some doozies
Sweet dreams kid and good night


Just a fun little bedtime story to read to the kids!

Premium Member Children Carry Parents' Legacy

"Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older
                 they judge them; sometimes they forgive them."
                                    by Oscar Wilde

Precious in the family
children are special treasures
carved with love; polished with care
learning great lesson of compassion from parents
since babyhood when they were welcomed with serene bliss.

Prospered in their nourishing home
children progress with gracious nurture 
along growing up pains and mirth-filled adventures
bracing adolescence might of curiosity-driven pursuits
to optimize freedom-driven exploits, guided by parents.

Prodded toward challenging choices
children radiate wisdom they have gained
exhortations on virtues, reflecting parents’ faith-prudence
admonitions for good manners, fortified by training and discipline 
vis-à-vis imparted kindness indeed marked with sharing of blessings.

Propelled beyond carrying family name
children continue to expose parents’ legacy
verily endowed well, by the bounty of the Lord
around sweet partnership and harmonious relationship
midst exercise of truth, forgiveness, justice, gratitude, and appreciation.

*Ephesians 6:1-3 Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.

GOODWILL
By Leon Enriquez


Empty your bowl here
Of yesterday’s tears
Wait upon new cheer


Dark the cast of night
Still the starry lights
Put sadness to flight

~~~~~~~~~


Dawn comes once again
To empty old pains
To etch smiles we gain


Morning light burns bright
To spread lovely sights
New touch of delight

~~~~~~~~~


Seize then this new day
Blessings on the way
Time for fun to play


Moments bloom worthwhile
So prize cheer that styles
Happy moods joy piles

~~~~~~~~~


Come live with kind heart
As joy now jumpstarts
Glimpse as beauty arts


Let good cheer draw near
True soul and heart here
As feelings endear

~~~~~~~~~


So fill your bowl well
As happy now dwells
In the tale you tell


Tints of floral blooms
Rapture in your room
As pure beauty grooms

~~~~~~~~~


Be mindful: Be still
Peace frames your goodwill
To feel how you feel


Joy and love restore
Your soul’s sacred core
To live ample more

~~~~~~~~~


Faith clusters fond stay
Hope stays as you pray
Love fashions new sway


On your journey quest
Let purpose meet zest
As passion words best

~~~~~~~~~


Glimpse bold vision grand
To reap grandeur friend
As fond splendour tends


Health prompts act that springs
Wealth within now flings
Happy joy that sings

~~~~~~~~~


Dare stern journey fare
Act bold courage dare
Air your ample flair


Change with changing times
Greet your sacred rhymes
Gain where rapture chimes

Earth Is Jinxed

Screams, Screeches, groans and wails
Let me tell you Agonies’ tales

And of bullets, bombs and pellet guns
For a person with Heart must know these pains 

kids are blinded; men are jailed.. 
Women are molested; the old are tortured.. 

Lucky, You have a home and a steak to fry
Billions starve and sleep under the frigid Sky

Jungles of wars are scrambling Humanity
Sighs are ruling the throne of sweet Melodies

Deluges of Tears removing the rainbows of joy
Atrocities bewitching the innocent lives to get destroy

Yet you say this world is beautiful.. ? 
That it is benign and bountiful...? 

May be yeah… for you... as you are at peace!
Come out of your little Palace... 

And you will see... 
Sky painting itself red...! 

Butterflies renouncing their dreams... 
Birds with trimmed wings... 

Blood ocean... barren trees... burnt houses... 
Teared eyes... and shattered bodies…. 

Earth is ugly .... Eartians savage... 
Earth is a cage... 
Earth is but a jixed place....!!

You!

You.

    1.  The whole town gossips about your return. It is happening again.

    It is urgent like the pains of labor

    My streams of tears are making their way down the slippery slope of my soft skin.

    You are a resurgence. Painful and delicate



    2. It is not real

    Just a flicker or two of you.

    Never thought of this

    As love or not.

    Just a stupid mist

    Clouding my rational thoughts

   Holding me captive in my heart. 



    3.I have moved on, or so I thought.

    You broke my fire hydrant walls with only a touch.

    Like the moon envious of the sun, I hate every fiber of your being,

    Yet you control my heart with a mere glance.

    Each night in bed, glaring at your poster on my wall. Why do this to me?

    I wish you were but a nightmare.



    4. Howl in anger when my name is said

    Do everything to eject me out of your brain

    Fail at every try

    And you know why

    I am not mistake for which you seek forgiveness, 

    But a sin,

    Waiting to condemn you in the flames of hell

A Verse by by Freddie Robinson Jr  and James E Lee Sr 
WOMAN--only follow a Man whose
Following CHRIST--

such a beautiful woman 
Lord, her spirit does so shine
Light as bright
As your golden eyes
And her pains it brought tears
Hurt of joy to my eyes
For now I’m satisfied
That a woman of God
Truly believes in you
And that she should only follow a man…whose
Following YOU
My God
My Lord
My Savior

WOMAN--only follow a Man whose
Following CHRIST--


The only good in me
Is the good that you are…seen?
 I truly believe women with the spirit of Lois and Eunice
Can truly be servants?
God’s daughter worthy of an Godly man
A repentive soul, striving to serve the Lord
A woman should only follow man, a man 
In truth, as he tries and does serve the Lord
And that she should only follow a man…whose
Following YOU
My God
My Lord
My Savior
Of the one and true living Lord…

WOMAN--only follow a Man whose
Following CHRIST--

Infused the man great faith in the Lord Jesus Christ
Women follow only magnificent men as they
Follow only a magnificent GOD in Love and Joy always
WOMAN--only follow a Man whose
Following CHRIST--
Follow only magnificent men as they
Follow only a magnificent GOD in Love and Joy always
WOMAN--only follow a Man whose
Following CHRIST--

Premium Member What Is Truth

WHAT IS TRUTH

as you knot your braids
you ask the Lord: what is truth?
             — dust cover shut tight

the light pains your eyes
  wearing darkest shades of sin
        — the good book beckons

ear plugs squeeze out praise
       pews are painted arctic blue
          — sermon slams iceberg

millstone about neck
         truth plunges into the sea
                — delusion complete

SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH CONTEST

“You are a king, then!” said Pilate. Jesus answered, “You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”

“What is truth?” Pilate asked. With this he went out again to the jews and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
