One Percent Rule, Okay Then

Someone said to me 1% rule the world,
I refused to believe and insults they hurled.
Why get personal because I reject the ideal?

If you believe it use this time to talk facts,
insults suggest you have nothing valid that'll impact.
You have no stats or statistics,
no facts that are realistic.

They tell me I'm not suppose to understand Lucifer or Illuminati,
but in general they tend to understand a lot less than me,
they are inferior intellectually,
so I let them have this victory,
allowed out of sympathy,
which is nice really
they think they see what I can't see.

Why do I reject the 1% rule theory?
It's simple, I'm not ignorant mathematically.

You see,
the 1% that you believe,
is not a small minority, 
1 is small and that deceives.

However I can't comprehend how an organization of 70 million
can operate productively without a difference of opinion.
How can all benefit, 
at meetings where do all sit,
how are they trusted to keep it secret
and how do they induct into it.

Worldwide 1% is the amount to have a high level of education.
1% would be the worlds 20th most populated nation,
bigger than Great Britain or France
stats like this cause me to reject your stance.

What circumstances would cause 70 million
to agree and reach an outcome?
33 Million was split into 17 and 16 million 
in the Brexit referendum,
how do 70 million agree often?
Brexit was one question with two answers.
I'm sorry but I don't agree with the theory you opt for,
it is just not possible.

1% don't rule,
they are highly educated with an element of control,
but that is just evolution after all,
like the pack behind the alpha male.

So if you blindly believe these theories 
can I suggest you find some hobbies.

It's the natural evolutionary order,
Our highly educated amounts to 1 percentage,
they've limits, that's why the elite fall through the ages.

70 Million is 1% and that number is not small,
so to conclude the whole theory is bull....

Available Choices Informing Me

I can select scant options
available among figurative
menu of life (mine) case in
point, this ordinary day (July
10th, 2019) typifies small
number routine prospects

regarding how I will while
away hours, cuz restrictions -
circumscribed, linkedin,
predicated by sought hade
curried parameters incorporating
genetic propensities inscribing

mental, physical, and spiritual
potential random talents bestowed
upon yours truly in tandem
with environmental factors
during childhood (upbringing,
middle class household income,

homogeneous Caucasian
neighborhood...), plus outcomes
wrought by countless decisions
(unfortunately usually, lapsed
deadline determinant and/or
nonpositive avoidance behavior -

identified as passive aggression
by mother dearest, she passed
away 14+ years), since...tender
boyhood age, when volition
allowed, enabled, and provided
restrained freedom (limited by

parental approval until arbitrary
18th birthday), thus this moment
essentially represents rapid
flowing confluence regarding
cumulative outcomes, whereby
nexus (Lexus) of one outcome

determined possibilities for next
situation till present, which
narrow bounds straitjacketed
alternatives to utilize liberty
productively, i.e. cultivating
strengths finding this garden

variety baby boomer (crying
the blues) frittering time courtesy
non beneficial trivial pursuits,
which tellingly (no surprise)
did not bring happiness to this
life, where loose analogy being

imprisoned since essentially
majority (default) actions not
serve best interests (mine),
though recently conscious
proactive effort to hone writing
bred thru existence as bookworm.

I conclude non jarringly tipping
figurative hat to Fiona Apple,
The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than
the Driver of the Screw and
Whipping Cords Will Serve You
More Than Ropes Will Ever Do.

Premium Member FAITH IN GOD WHO WANTS US TO COME INTO HIS SALVATION-ARK

January 3 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Genesis 7-9

Key Verse – Genesis 7:1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

FAITH IN GOD WHO WANTS US 
TO COME INTO HIS SALVATION-ARK

God wants us to come into His salvation-ark of Christ’s imputed righteousness
Cleansed by His blood’s purging effectiveness
Cleaving to Him, in faith, we are kept unto His holiness
Cleared from destructive evils of earthliness.

God wants us to come into His salvation-ark of Christ’s redemption-fulfillment
Carried toward heavenly settlement
Casting our all unto Him, by faith, we express our soulwinning involvement
Captured from prevailing fleshly defilement.

God wants us to come into His salvation-ark of Christ’s rescuing authority
Cared for by His compassionate sovereignty
Clinging to Him, we pursue for joyful spirituality
Charged to continue against adversity.

God wants us to come into His salvation-ark of Christ’s quickened transformation
Covered by His empowered regeneration
Clothing ourselves, in faith, we abide in His truth’s instruction
Cornered from freezing coldness of wrong direction.

God wants us to come into His salvation-ark of Christ’s blessed grace
Celebrated by His deliverance toward victorious race
Charged by faith, we exalt Him with worshipful praise
Called to enjoy sweet relationship with Him upon Scriptures’ brace.

God wants us to come into His salvation-ark of Christ’s assured covenant
Created anew by His Word, doctrinally triumphant
Crucifying ourselves to Him, in faith, we are believers who are vibrant
Committed to grow in His ministry-vineyard, productively radiant.

God wants us to come into His salvation-ark of Christ’s provision-delight
Corrected against sinfulness-blight
Claiming by faith His leading, we strive to walk in His light
Consecrated to dwell in His perfect will with thanksgiving might. Amen!

The Gift That I Give You

Enjoy your gifts, be grateful, share them
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The gifts of nature given by God
How much do we sit and enjoy?
We only plunder  and destroy

The gift of unconditional love showered by parents 
How much do we value it?
Do we give them the respect and care they deserve?

The gift of life, many precious seconds
How much do we value them?
Do we use each moment productively, prudently?

The gift of love, compassion given by God
Bestowing us with bountiful joy and bliss
How much do we practice, share?

The gift of breath, the joy of being alive
How much do we feel grateful?
Full of elation every moment

The gift of salvation, unending bliss
A gift freely available to all
We don't even try for it

The gift of this body, a vehicle of soul
is for our up keeping not a product of display
This gift is often taken for granted

Gift of senses, for our enjoyment
We let them rule us
We sin

We only think and  talk about our achievements
Trying to prove we are better
Ego has no end 

We always think and serve selfish humans
Never bothering to think of God
whose gifts are boundless

Give the gift of unconditional love 
Share all you have with the less fortunate
More you give, more your coffers fill

Make a list of all gifts that you have, treasure them
Be glad you have so many gifts
Let joyous bliss fill your being

Be good, do good, spread goodness
Let life be a saga of service
Be Godly, emulate him

Premium Member Irreconcilable Paradox

Leaderboard paradox
Bard, crank or chatterbox
Irreconcilable
Most undeniable
Two titles possible?
Can't have all three

Flourish and elegance
Meter and relevance
Grasp of the elements
Sensitive delicate
Post the best poetry
For all to see

Building community
Post with impunity
Dishing encouragements
Never discouragements
Attaboy lunacy
Nice job! Spondee

Magnitude, quantity
Content moronity
Quality suffering
Sputtering, stuttering
Faster through brevity
Haiku for me

Where is the paradox?
Chatter and atta-talks
Raising poetic stocks
Moving up leaderboards
Elevates all their scores
Best that you just ignore
All your competitors'
New poetry

Elegant, painstaking
Beautiful, time-taking
Longer time finishing 
Numbers diminishing
Falling so rapidly
Not even on page three
Drop productivity
Maybe you finish a
Poem or three

Status? ridiculous
Leaders? superfluous
Seek to equilibrate
Advocate, animate
Irreconcilable
Paradox schmeradox
Sharing delightfully
Cranking productively
Poetry supersedes
All rivalry

Premium Member Dear Sport People

Dear sport people, folks who love to hit and kick balls, 
You and I are different in so many ways.
I don’t need cheering applause, awards for doing my job, 
I don’t need a glorified praise.

I do the best that I can, and do it every day, 
Silently, productively, I complete my vocation.
While you do what you do, demand more than your worth,
And expect complete adulation.

Every day I grow your fresh food, or invent new vaccines, 
Or defend humans on the front line.
Whilst sport people, you think that you’re above all of that, 
Thinking you are some sort of divine.

Dear sport people, I don’t play school yard games, 
I don’t play stupid games at all when I’m at work.
If I did then I’d be shunned, I’d be shunned and then fired,
I don’t play games because I’m not a jerk.

Premium Member FAITH IN GOD WHO IS THE ROSE OF SHARON AND LILY OF THE VALLEYS

July 27 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on Song of Solomon 1-8 
 
Key Verse –  Song of Solomon 2:1 I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

FAITH IN GOD WHO IS THE ROSE OF SHARON 
AND LILY OF THE VALLEYS	

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who loves our soul
And He draws us toward His heart along heavenly goal
Indeed driving our faith to do our best with wellness-whole
Constantly feeding us through His shepherding role.

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who reigns surely
And He leads us toward His fellowship graciously
Indeed enclosing our faith with His peace securely
Constantly bringing us to His restoration daily.

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who does what’s great
And He invites us toward His banqueting house against worldly fate
Indeed healing our faith from unbelief's sickness-state
Constantly upholding us by His partnership in His ministry's calendar-date.

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who does care
And He ushers us toward His provisions that we can also share
Indeed strengthening our faith with His approval stare
Constantly guarding us from unbelief’s scare.

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who is protective
And He moves us toward His ministry to become effective
Indeed reinforcing our faith with His Scriptures’ directive
Constantly guiding us by His holiness against carnality that’s seductive.

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who demands the best
And He requires us toward fulfilling duties with our zest
Indeed building our faith for service so we can be earnestly honest
Constantly helping us to overcome trial and test.

God is the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys Who is wonderful
And He seals us toward His ownership permanently blissful
Indeed nurturing our faith to be productively fruitful
Constantly showing us His glory through His deeds, always beautiful.

The Lives of a Million People

I want you and your beautiful spirit
I want your fruitful bliss - I want all of it
I've never been so moved before you came around
But, my heart has been put into the lost and found

The nourishment of life
Has drowned out all the strife
The thought of you leaving me behind
Makes me think life is so unkind 
The lives of a million people,
Driving through the lane of thought
The lives of a million people,
Driving through the lane of thought

The lives of a million people,
Thriving day to day productively
Longing to be free from captivity
Everyone's a winner in my eyes of honesty
Their tired eyes will rest
They will wake at the break of dawn
I'll try my very best
To belong in the arms of peace-abiding angels

The nourishment of life
Has drowned out all the strife
The lives of a million people,
Driving through the lane of thought
The lives of a million people,
Going through hardships with the strength they got

Dismay and chaos overwhelm me so
It reduces me to mere anxiety and woe

I can't go on...
I can't go on...
I can't move on...
Without you near my side forevermore
I swore you're the one that I adore

The lives of a million people,
Living their life in the fast lane
Living their life for the sake of gain
The lives of a million people,
Driving through the lane of thought
The lives of a million people,
Tired and worn-out by the wars they fought

Living their life,
Trying to remain sane
Peace and strife
Goes through our thought train

The trace of grace is upon your face
Trying to kéep pace in this life's race
Your support is a rose in the field of blessings
Everyone has their difficult upbringings
I was meant to live this life in glorious ray
I was meant to live life to the fullest day by day

But, I keep on thinking
My mind is rising and sinking

The lives of a million people,
Dricing through the lane of thought
The lives of a million people,
Working hard till they are as dead as a vacant lot
