When each day begins
and each evening ends
knowing Earth is within our redemption intent,
our commitment to Sacred Earth's restoring Grace
within ourselves,
within our families,
within our communities,
within our humane-divine
nature-spirited species,
within our multi-species relationships,
within Earth,
upon Earth,
around Earth,
through Earths emerging sacred climates
cosmology
theology
ethology,
Then those economic and political
and personal and sexual
and relational and intimate
and vulnerable co-redemptive intended activities and investments,
evolve co-empathic awarenesses,
grow moments of bilateral Grace consciousness
transpire to transubstantiate
occurring and re-occurring event patterns
and rhythm landscapes within
and climates without,
in-between these dawn and dusk sacred wonder events.
To do less,
to invest less than everything,
is to risk Win-Lose harm to oneself,
and to one's sacred democratic cooperative trust
in truths restoring justice
over lies and errors disintegrating relationship,
To cooperate nondually more, so less dualistically interpreted divisions,
and dipolar, so less bipolar competitions,
and appositional, so less oppositional assumptions
between God's HolySpirit
and MatrioticEarth's Holonic Nature.
Judeo-Christian Creation Stories
are invitations toward restoration
of primal NatureSpirit Relationship;
not judgment against the too-secular, fallen, and unredeemed.
When our teachers teach other-phobia,
then we are listening and following
and too often voting for
false fake-evangelical prophets
of God as a Wanna-Be Totalitarian Fascist,
a Hater of Evil destining HellFire Futures
more than a MultiCultural Healer
toward Love-Lives Eternal.
We identify fake-patriotism
by discerning divine-humane rights
and wrongs
of monotheistic triumphalism,
rather than Gospel integrity
of profound Love
for Sacred Earth.
When each day begins
and each evening dissolves into
Sacred Earth's restoring Grace
within ourselves,
within our families,
within our communities,
Then those economic and political
and personal and sexual
and relational and intimate
and vulnerable activities and investments,
transpire to transubstantiate.
A pathway along the river
leads to where its waters widen
into the bay, an armada of small boats
tug on mooring lines and beyond,
rising up out of a reflected sky,
the city sends golden spires
high into the evening air.
It's more than just a place, a city
compounded of asphalt, concrete
and plate glass, parklands with trees
from countries overseas that read
the changing seasons with green,
red and yellow. Sprawling suburbs,
cafes and coffee, all just a part
of a greater whole where I live
and is home to me.
Not some sugary, thick spill
of a patriotism born of a shallow pride
is evoked here, no boast of better
but a calm, silent sense
of connection to the spirit of the soil
and what grows here, what is built
upon its spread and more, those I love
who walk across its breadth.
The soul must have a space
to house its presence in this world,
somewhere to relate to, to grow in,
be part of and after being away,
to return to and rest. There must be
something sacred to nurture
in the cradle of its ground, a love
that holds back the harm of greed
and the elevation of the self.
There are other places, sure, equal
if not better, some that have
more charm or come near,
but I am thankful
that I draw my breath here.
Independence day
My country independence day celebrations,yes
Iam happy to be a part of it but I have no role in getting independence to my nation.
I'm very much fortunate ,that I was born in a independent nation.i never knew what was the struggle for freedom in those days,I never witness the strength of spirit involved in fighting for the country.
I knew one thing for shore ,that this independence ,freedom what iam enjoying is because of so many great ,good people and their continuous contribution ,fighting for their nation.
They have done an excellent,everlasting,ever remembering job in getting their nation free from the British rule.
Today ,i can talk freely ,I can walk freely, I can share my views clearly without any fear in my nation is all because of them ..
What can I do for them? For their patriotism.
I can't give anything for them now,for their sacrifice except living my life freely ,proudly,sharing my opinions clearly for the developement of my nation .
I ,once again salute all the soldiers,freedom fighters who brought freedom to India and giving me a independent life
Thank you all ..
Happy independence day india.
Lord knows she isn’t perfect but she’s better than the rest.
And I always find her beautiful even when she is a mess.
She has her faults and failures but I love her anyway
And I thank the good Lord for her each and every day.
Now, some might call her haughty and resent the fact she’s there.
Some might call her flighty and say she doesn’t care.
But many dream about her, long to be within her arms.
There’s safety in her warm embrace and comfort in her charms.
Some say that she meddles where she doesn’t quite belong.
Some say she is stubborn, especially when she’s wrong.
She might have many weaknesses but she’s better than the rest.
If you put the others side by side, it’s plain she is the best.
And though some do despise her, I really don’t know why.
For she is very generous in times when others cry.
She stands up to the bullies and lifts up those who fall.
And she is always there to help when friends in need will call.
So, I’ll defend her honor. I’ll protect her where I can.
When others try to hurt her I will fight for this great land.
And I’ll be ever faithful. For her safety I will pray.
For I love this great country! God bless the U.S.A.!
The omniscient sun arises on these fields of freedom
And casts its bright hope above the faltering shadows of doubt
Awakening the heartland voices of a nation of all nations
A brotherhood born from tyranny and wars
To stand together to serve their common purpose
That each one shall enjoy the liberty promised by our forefathers
In the pursuit of freedom and happiness
Each harvesting hope in the fields of opportunity
Each melding their futures - all cultures and families of man
Hand in hand, spirit to spirit
With the same determination and commitment
As the omniscient sun rising over our homeland
To lead the path to democracy and our unity with the world!

Visualize a soldier in combat,
looking far with a camouflaged helmet:
fingers on the trigger, always ready on its target;
to shoot, if anybody attacks!
Fearful soldier, don't lose heart:
your patriotism is perceived well,
and another medal will add more pride...
to substitute it for any unspoken lie;
a hurtful lie which seems too evident in every fright:
for serving your country and going through hell!
Soldier, you have turned twenty today,
and your hidden fears are many;
and the vibrant youth which was
meant to be lived by experiencing joy and being care-free:
is the remotest dream in your pensive and lost gaze...
amid echoing blasts at the break of day!
Visualize a soldier in combat, shivering inside,
gathering up more courage to win the last fight...
too frightened to scream and cry aloud;
not so afraid to kill...in order to survive!
Soldier, have faith and believe you'll live to see again
those distant faces that cried on your farewell;
they haven't forgotten you....as you haven't: all the long letters,
written with warm tears, still have that special place in their hearts!

Don’t you see where you are
There was a time you wouldn’t tolerate
People thinking for themselves
You pass your judgments
And you made decisions to never last
You were the dominant voice
The ideology behind every mans choice
You believed in what you knew
And you knew no more than what you were told
We’ve come too far near for change
You were the leader
You were a generation of unopposed cheaters
You assassinated
You told stories of finer fabrication
You fought for patriotism, you fought for pride
Seldom did you put your integrity aside
You made no rights to be considered civil
You preyed on anyone who was thought to be liberal
You expressed your Marxist theories
You denied the working class it’s values
You sat me on the back of the bus
You told your children to fear me
We’ve come too far near for change
You formed conglomerates
And biased political party’s
In 63 you showed very little sympathy
Oh how you shook the wind from me
You told me I was only a third of a person
You scolded that my days would worsen
You defined anti-Semitism in less than four years
And before this, you path a trail of tears
Walk with me this way
You know things will not be okay
God bless a cease fire
For a present day Vietnam provokes war this day
We’ve come too far near for change
So mothers and children
Fathers and pilgrims
Settle the sky’s
For there are no frontiers left to pry
The rivers in which you wade
Have been drained too tire
From a followers coming of age
Script your life, live your days
Press your quill to this page
Is this what you ask for
A patent at your door
No more Marconi’s
No more hero’s or displeasures
Only a world lost and lonely
Are we too far near for change
Two airplanes slammed hard
into the Twin Towers in Manhattan,
and one into the Pentagon;
but the fourth one didn't reach its target,
because the passengers fought...
bringing it quickly down!
They died for America,
fighting with courage
the ruthless enemy;
and they rebelled in rage
to preserve liberty
with their heroism
and true patriotism...
they died for America!
Call them heroes with the kindest hearts,
call them the warriors of our days;
to me they are the freedom fighters,
who couldn't be taken by fear
and inhumane brutality!
They were far braver
than we thought they would be...
and we should glorify their deeds!
They died for America,
for the country they truly loved,
to give some back for her generosity...
not being afraid of dying in vain;
they died for America,
only imagining the joy,not the pain,
that their rebellion would have caused...
without doubts or uncertainty!
They died for America,
for all dreaming of a free life...
leaving the fears far beyond;
they died for America,
for the unborn in their mothers' womb,
so that they could see the flowers bloom!
We still wonder how they did all this...
by trusting in their friend,God!
In the year 1989,
A long time ago!
I heard Sachin smash Qadir,
On the radio!
Test Cricket,
Was the name of the game!
I knew instantly,
Cricket would never be the same!
In complete humility,
He graced the field!
His sound batting prowess,
Made every bowler yield!
He conquered every record,
He’s the only King!
Not just a cricketer,
But a lovely human being!
He is the Master,
Who blasted away to fame!
Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar,
Is his famous name!
I have always prayed,
That he wins me the Cup!
India was blessed to see my Idol,
Lift the 2011 World Cup!
Dedicated to: SACHIN RAMESH TENDULKAR....My Icon, my idol, who inspires awe worldwide
and patriotism in countless number of Indians! My Country was indeed blessed enough to
see him lift the 2011 Cricket World Cup...:-)
Biblical Not Political
A young woman turned political in my day
Pulled in to a debating world on topics that would sway
Involved with the topics disappointed with news,
Failing our race with disgrace, and political power misused.
All my life an American patriot, since from sixteen I recall,
believing “United we stand, and divided we fall.”
Seeing a nation now divided before my eyes,
with such extreme that one’s party of choice, could mean their demise.
Having affiliation with both political sides, now feeling displaced,
Now deciding that for peace and guidance, to seek God’s face.
He showed me a vision of an eagle, only to watch and pray,
for our country and whatever President, of our day,
He showed me that for voting guidance, not for what will be heard,
To open up my Bible and study His Word.
“I will use whomever I will; but you this day,
whether a King is righteous or is wicked, I will have my way.”
“My eye is on the eagle, but you keep your eyes on me,
for my Word shall also be fulfilled in your present day.
On that day I left my patriotism in God’s hand,
for the failing ground of America, His Word I now stand!
Biblical not political, is the way I now go,
Encouraging unity in Christ Jesus, is all you need to know.
