That's Close Enough

Shapeshifters, and or, shapeshifting ... preps our world always,
A speck sans a cavass, ... materializes a work of art,
At spans of reckoning, ... outlandish evolve viably.

Simplistically, ... caterpillar, cocoon, butterfly,
The explanative being ... the effects of metamorphoses,
Influence of changing, on the surface ... ain't exclusive.

The aspects of human versions, ... do we possess ourselves?
Phases absorb one's absolutes, ... escapism amuses abstracts,
Misshape is needless, ... our character assassinates us.

The docile Doctor Jekyll ... and ominous Mr. Hyde,
The tale tells induced chemicals ... freed the latter temperament,
Stevenson, a mixed decrypt breed, ... Woolf faults, Hemingway hails.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, ... Wilde's graphic inward peer,
Retorts pundits, ... proxy masques wickedness, textured facades ethics,
Books ain't moral or immoral, ... they're just well penned or naught.

A star radiates ... cast hither, trimming and grooming 'rounds,
Revolving amazeballs recasting orb's landscapes, ... picturesque,
Bubblegum pops as its meaning ... is clearly intricate.

Brief spells also have an effect, ... ravenous bears slumber,
When pushed or at risk ... stimulates safeguards that ensure their species,
The game plays out who's game ... prey or predator lives or dies.

Transformations constants about ... subtle yet definite,
Persona exploits cellular structure ... registers vividly,
The former's substituted ... the latter assimilate.

Premium Member Song of The Rainbow Eucalyptus Tree No 8: ABBA

Or nearby country lanes and quaint front yards,
are the Eucalyptus Rainbow, streaked trees,
found in Southeast Asia island countries.
Two hundred twenty-foot tall tree safeguards,
its ninety-four-inch smooth orange-tint trunk,
growing in the lowlands and rainforest,
wood makes paper and cosmetics cherished.
It's pale green, red, grey, and puce, a slam dunk,
breathtaking wonderment countryside greats,
eye-catching kaleidoscopic spectrum,
arrangement stretched far away, no breadcrumb.
The advocate of nature illustrates,
through collective documents and accounts,
unthinkable odds descriptive recounts.

Premium Member Spawn

Albert Francis Simmons; in Detroit, Michigan, was born,
His robustness, with intelligence, nature did adorn;
Though, worked as a high-ranking Secret Service official,
His moral sense became a matter so prejudicial...!

Burnt, like charcoal, by Jason Wynn, his service, commander,
As a price for his, lion-like, unwavering candor;
Visits the kingdom of hell; becomes a hellspawn therein,
He's sent, by devil Malebolgia to meet his kin...!

Forgetting his past forms, like a drunken ape, he wanders,
In search of identity, his zest and zeal he squanders;
Averse to going back to hell, he tries to find a goal,
Fighting like a lion, against evils, safeguards his soul...!

To remove social evils, like a crusader, he fought,
Criminals and the crooked under moral codes he brought;
Hunted by a fighter angel for the sake of a game,
Jason Wynn, the true fighter angel, soon he overcame...!

Attacked, as though an unknown beast, both by heaven and hell,
Heap, ambassador of the Green world, enraptures his spell;
Killing Malebolgia, over the hell gains control,
Changes hell into heaven, playing his reformer role...!!!

Premium Member FAITH IN GOD WHO CARES FOR HIS PEOPLE

April 5 Faith in God Bible Meditations Based on 2Samuel 1-3 

Key Verse – 2Samuel 1:12 And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD…

FAITH IN GOD WHO CARES FOR HIS PEOPLE	

God cares for us, His people as He oversees our transformation
So great is He in His miracles for our new creation
Truly, we acknowledge His love toward our salvation 
In Him do we trust with our faith for our daily sanctification.

God cares for us, His people as He enables our achievement
So gracious is He in His reigning accomplishment
Truly, we surrender to His dominion toward our meaningful fulfillment 
In Him do we dwell with our faith, showing our earnest commitment.

God cares for us, His people as He supplies us against our nothingness
So good is He in His provision for our bountifulness
Truly, we honour His generosity toward our satisfaction-blissfulness 
In Him do we hide with our faith along contentment’s peacefulness.

God cares for us, His people as He overthrows our adversary
So protective is He in His empowerment for our victory
Truly, we rejoice in His desire toward our success-story
 In Him do we stay with our faith while serving for His glory.

God cares for us, His people as He raises our dedication-level
So kind is He in His direction wherein we divinely revel
Truly, we recognize His work toward our spiritual drive to propel 
In Him do we abide with our faith midst challenges that repel.

God cares for us, His people Whom He safeguards against backsliding
So compassionate is He in His leading and guiding
Truly, we need His Word toward our conviction-upholding 
In Him do we remain with our faith along His tasks by His beholding.

God cares for us, His people Whom He sets along His standard-height 
So authoritative is He in His command for us to do what is right
Truly, we stand upon His truth toward our triumphant fight 
In Him do we rest with our faith while praying with delight.

Bring it to God

surrender to God let Him guide you along
trust in God for He'll never steer you wrong
release it to God let Him handle your load 
take it to God, see His mercy and grace unfold 

bring it to God let Him untrouble the atmosphere 
bring it to God let Him remove that spirit of fear 
bring it to God let Him eradicate all doubt 
bring it to God for only He has that kind of clout 

acquiesce to God just comply and submit 
assent to God simply concur and permit 
grant it to God let Him take up your yoke 
give it to God let a holiness in you now be woke 

bring it to God let Him untrouble the atmosphere 
bring it to God let Him remove that spirit of fear 
bring it to God let Him eradicate all doubt 
bring it to God for only He has that kind of clout 

we need to step out of comfort zones 
in order to be set free 
and allow God to liberate us from self-induced penitentiaries 
to be spiritually convicted and totally assured 
now possessing a faith that's confident and secure 

letting God have all the control 
as He safeguards our souls 

bring it to God let Him untrouble the atmosphere 
bring it to God  let Him remove that spirit of fear 
bring it to God let Him eradicate all doubt 
bring it to God for only He has that kind of clout 

we've brought it all to God 
we are now liberated
for His mercy and grace
has us completely saturated

we brought it to God He untroubled the atmosphere 
we brought it to God and we are no longer scared
we brought it to God and we have no more doubts
we took it to the King for only He has that kind of clout

Premium Member Our Little Ones Are Waiting

To volunteer is one of the nicest things you can do for yourself.
	If you think it is more of a help to another than your own dear heart, then you
			Have not been volunteering at the right places.

Day care centers are always needing people with laps to hold babies, read to babies, play with babies,
 	Sing to babies, laugh with babies.  It is perhaps the best job in the world and your payment is so
			Much better than mere money.

Churches and schools are always needing help proofreading, typing, printing, copying, organizing, and
	If you have spare time to teach children who are struggling way behind the others to
			Learn their abcs or to read easy books, 
			You will return home so much better
			Than you found your heart this morning.

I caution you not to get upset that you have to pay fifty dollars to be fingerprinted and wait six weeks and spend heart-nurturing time with little ones. This is to keep everyone safe.

			There was a time when we did not realize we
			Needed these safeguards,
			We probably did, but we did not realize.

	If you have love in your heart, an empty lap, a love for children, and you know
		How to read, please consider one of these volunteer opportunities.

			Our little ones are waiting.

___________________________

Above are these competing views
Of social construct ends
And choice is not to win or lose
But how they all should blend.

The truth is each is built into
The fabric of our days
Requiring that we must pursue
Sound, realistic ways.

Judicious blend is what we need
To keep us on due course -
With none promoted to exceed
And sanction our remorse.

Premium Member What Are We?


The vibrant entity called life, cared and adored, 
the heart safeguards to display with pride.
The life turns into an object, used and ravaged,
the transformed being saves the soul sinned.

If time doesn’t lift the spirit of dignity 
out of the abyss of ruins,
the sense of self-preservation can’t cure 
the wounds of the bruised psyche,
the courage to confront the world 
makes the object the shadow of human substance, 
the ravaged life rises reborn from the dust.

Life then is the epithet of unique existence,
the construct of cosmic elements,
suffused with the heavenly essence 
in the coalesced trinity of body, mind and soul.

Trying to get released from the clasp  
of the karmic destiny, 
leading to the loss of the sense of self,
the perception of the pervading conscience 
surpasses the space-time territory 
for the inward emancipation journey. 

Beneath the convoluted layers 
of the clouded mind, at its inner depth, 
the soul perceives the dawn of awareness, 
creating the linkage with the absolute truth, 
comprehends the meaning of existence.

With the acquired intelligence of evolution,
the liberated life transcends the mortal limits, 
reaches the realm of eternity to realign
with divine consciousness, 
that makes us what we are.

The Bajillion Dollar Business of Christmas

Despite being atheist,
     I would nonetheless bet
     dollars to donuts
     (Dunkin and/or other wise)
Jesus would be mighty pleased
     to know, his sir name
     linkedin with commercial ties
no matter, he might not garner

     a percentage of profits,
     especially if he
     unwittingly gets trampled
     to death by madding
     flash mob crowd source
     rushing to snap up
     latest door prize
as venders resort to all

    manner of (subliminally
     manipulative) marketing techniques
     to lure patrons, (especially
     photo opportunities with
     one of the many
"FAKE" donned Santa
     Claus), the latter,
     who would lionize

their son(s) and/or
     daughter(s), subsequently
     guaranteeing, nailing crosswise,
     and clinching safeguards
      immunizing against the Grinch
a sure fire way to
     guarantee future generations
     will become avid consumers,

     who reverently, obsequiously,
     and devoutly idolize
supporting the apostles 
     of commercialization
     nearly every 
     occasion to finalize (all sales)
pennies on the dollar,
     where merchants feign

     going for broke, and capitalize
eulogize, and idealize
the mighty buck
staging "FAKE" 
     news worthy shoppers
     to burst into tears
crying on command,

    and all manner of pathos
     pulling ploys nsync king
     "shameful guilt" that squares
with being ostracized, hash-tagged,
     and demonized Scrooge.
