Have the Guts

Cultivate the willpower to achieve your goal, chances, 
Give yourself the guts to succeed and win, 
Elevate your mind above your circumstances, 
And deliberate upon taking things on the chin. 

Analyse your goals until they become many, 
Many small intentions that you can make easily, 
So that you build up the confidence gamey, 
To assert yourself in a tight religious family.

Write your goals down on paper if need be, 
Your dreams, ambitions and intentions as well, 
So that at least you’ll know what you see, 
For your life and future, where there’s no hell. 

Don’t be scared to share them with others, 
Your teachers, engineers, doctors and physios,  
So that they can help you on your way, brothers, 
Such that you’re no longer listening to radios. 

Your ratio with them will become important,
The church subsides along with your relations, 
And in time they will imbue their statement, 
Their morality will become your attestations. 

Seek to interact in your society unaffected, 
Don’t define it as they do by hatred and sin, 
Because if you can’t trust your person stated, 
Your neighbour or colleagues, find the bin. 

You need to give them that bit of initial trust, 
That little bit of space which lets them move, 
So that you can trust them when there’s no dust, 
When you have no innocence to site or prove. 

Make a table for yourself because it’s made, 
By others for your pleasure and gratification; 
Live and let live and traverse peace stayed, 
And wangle when you find only apprehension.

Cancer - the Invader

Cancer - The Invader 

By Betty Harp Butler


Cancer does not knock-
It invades.
It comes when you least expect it,
When things are going just fine.
Then boom!
And in it wades.

It takes you by surprise,
When you have always been so healthy.
It is no respecter of persons.
It’s comes to the poor, and also to the wealthy.

You must not think, “it couldn’t happen to me.”
It can, and it does, as many people see.
Don’t be complacent, check things out.
It could happen to you-there is no doubt (get tested).

It did happen to me
When I least expected it.
A routine doctor’s exam,
And a quick mammogram,
Revealed the ugly truth,
I had Cancer with a capital C.

When you get news like that,
It frightens you, just hearing it.
Along with the fear, I remembered,
“I have faith in God!”
He will be with me through all that.

It took a long time to recuperate.
I had very good caretakers around the clock at my home.
I came through the surgery just fine.
I had faith.
God was with me all the way.

It happened in August 2018.
I was eighty-five years old.
I am eighty-seven years old now and doing well.

God has been very good to me.
He has blessed me with good children and caretakers.
I thank God for adding years to my allotted days.
God is good!

320 Huling Araw ni Papa Francisco sa Pilipinas

320.

Huling Araw ni Papa Francisco sa Pilipinas



Enero Diez y Nueve, Dos mil Kinse

Tulad ng pagdating, pag-alis naging simple

Subalit tulad ng unang araw

Mga nag-antabay sa daan nag-umapaw

‘Di parin natinag ang hiyawan

Ng mga taong sumalubong sa lansangan

Tulad ng pagdatal, panahon ay maganda

Napakaganda ng araw sa umaga

Paglipas ng mga araw na inulan

Bumalik din sa maaraw na pinagmulan

Mula umpisa hanggang sa wakas

Lulan parin ng Pope Mobile na bukas

Sa Villamor meron paring sayawan

Tulad ng unang paglapag sa bayan

Salamat sa wakas maayos na nakabalik

Ang Supremo ng Simbahan na sa bansa humalik.

Religious Debate

My beliefs are not yours to judge
Christianity and Catholic? 
What do they mean? 
One god, one book, one set of rules
They both say to ask for thy forgiveness

Paganism? Norse?
Celebrate thy selves and treat thyself right
Looking at a distance, all religions are the same

Norse, Greek and Egyptian 
They all have the same deity's
God's and goddesses, they're all the same
Men and women who have the same thought
But are different all the same

You have God, Buddha, Zeus and Odin
All are fathers of their own religion 
But are called different all the same

Hades, Satan and Mara
All gods of the underworld but called evil
All have their owns past but called Demons

Loki, Hermes, Apate and Dolus, and Maui
Norse, Greek and Polynesian tricksters
All looked down on for their way of life
Tricksters, deceivers or liars
Motivated not by strict moral codes but rather their own amusement or interests

Why do we judge when we can't say who is right or wrong?

Premium Member Voices Or Dr Seuss Meets the Schizophrenic

Voices voices telling me
Where to go
Who to see
What to say
And who to be
How to think 
What to believe 
What to buy
And what to spend 
Where to start
And where to end
Who to hate
And to friend 
When exactly to be straight
And when exactly, they say I should bend
.
Rules to live my life by
And how much I should get
When to let it go
Or when to throw a fit
Voices voices I declare
On the page
And on the air 
Every how
And every where
.
Every say
And every said
Constant voices 
In my head
Voices voices telling me
What to hope for
What to dream
Where to find
Blue Bell ice cream
When to whisper
When to scream
.
Voices voices telling you
Vote the red
Vote the blue
But don't think for yourself
No matter what you do
Voices to manipulate
Paint good men fools
Paint evil great
.
Those other voices whispering
Prodding me to do their thing 
If I'm crazy let me be
But you be you
And I'll be me
And choose for myself
What I call free
.
Five hundred twenty-eight megahertz 
Called us up out of the dirt
It's said I'll know the Shepherd's voice
And when He calls I'll have a choice
It's hard to hear Him thru the noise
Or cipher through religious ploys 
But I choose to hear Him nonetheless
Tune out the chaos of all the rest
That one true Voice it brings me peace 
And floods my soul with sweet relief 
.
One last time I must tell
Keep your voices to yourself
Schizophrenic I may well be
But you just be you
And let me be me

His Lullaby

Give me your troubled heart.
Give me your weary mind.
Give me your heavy load, 
I’ll make it mine.

I know you don’t remember now
the time we used to spend.
Trust me child, you were here
and you’ll be back again.
Show me just a little faith,
let me take your hand.

Give me an open heart.
Give me your hand.
I am here guide you through
this dreary land.
Won’t you let me guide you through
this dreary land?

I know you don’t remember now
the time we used to spend.
Trust me child, you were here
and you’ll be back again.
Show me just a little faith,
let me take your hand.
 
Give me a little time,
I know it’s hard to find.
Just let it go, and let me know,
I’ll ease your mind. 
I’ll lift you up. I’ll bring you home.
I’ll make you mine.
Yes, I’ll lift your spirit up.
I’ll make you mine. 

I know you don’t remember now
the life we had before.
I paid the price.
I laid it down.
I opened up the door.
So take my hand,
I’ll lead you home, 
where we lived before. 

Just take my hand,
I’ll lead you here…
where we lived before.

the simple faith

The Simple Faith.

At school, we had bible classes
but our religious learning was based 
on the New Testament
The Old Testament was kept away from
us as it was vile and long knives
God was not so much in the picture 
other he was Jesus's father 
that he was a son of the virgin Mary was
not what we were asked to think of
consequently, we knew nothing other
then the name of Jesus' disciples
the cruel Romans and coward Judas
I often thought of god, still do, and
found not believing in anything was
wrong as nothing in itself is a belief 
My naïve faith was simple when I do
It is a good thing my conscience feels
clear it is good who lives within me
who tells me right from wrong 
his view has never brought me fame
very little money I can live that but
sometimes wish the lord had made
me clever in business affairs
When I die, my soul will join other
souls as a mass, like a friendly cloud 
shield you a hot August day and will 
when the world is about to fall into 
an abyss will help to restore the truth

Gibberish Now An Official Language

Not to be confused with Double Dutch which is no longer deemed
  Politically Correct,
Or gobbledegoop which could be associated with goblins and witchcraft which 
  would make it unsuitable for religious folk,
Gibberish is now being learned by every nation on earth.

The cheif advantage of learning to speak gibberish is that nobody realy
  understands it,
So it is hard to be held accountable for what you have said.

Gibberish is also now becoming the preferred written language worldwide.
Again you will not be held accounatble for something so open to 
   misinterpretation.  

To obatain a masters degree in gibberish, you will need to learn about codes,
As you don't want your gibberish to be too consistant,
Or someone might be able to work out what you are saying and you could be
  held accountable.

Another advantage of learning gibberish is that you won't have to forego that Extra drink, as drunk or sobre it will always be gibberish.
The more gibberish you produce the more people will respect you as
  worldly and wise.
You will aslo make it easy for non gibberish speakers to interpret your orders in Ways that will let them get on with whatever they are doing without fear of 
  being held accountable.

A word of caution however, don't take too long to learn to speak gibberish or 
You could be the last person except for the Queen to be understood and she has diplomatic immunity,
So you will be it, I am afraid, unless you sign up now at a very low price
 to learn basic gibberish.

A Prayer

A prayer
By Michelle Morris
15/06/2020

Lord, please give me comfort;
Make this here holy ground. 
Please bless me and protect me, 
From outside evils found. 

Lord, please ease my suffering;
Take the darkness from my soul. 
Help me to be uplifted - 
Have my soul made 
completely whole. 

Lord, please give me guidance;
To know the right path for me.
Please make me a better person,
To shine brightly eternally.

Please do this for
The world around,
No matter the religion,
Colour or land;
And make us better human beings,
Of whom you can be proud.

Premium Member Great Evening Meal

Birds in midheaven flying all around
Soaring high then gliding down
Gazing with hunger upon the town
Instinctively knowing up from down
Observing unbridled spiritual breakdown

White horse and rider with august kingly crown,
Bright white, bloodstained flowing gown
To all birds an invitation did righteously resound
A great feast of kings and commanders showdown
A feast of strong and great after the takedown. 

Birds in midheaven flying all around
Soaring high then gliding down
Pleasing the rider of supreme renown  
Gazing with hunger upon each town
Great Evening Meal's final countdown
