My cogitations after learning about THE 27 CLUB*:
Confronted with secrets of existence
My soul strives to remain optimistic
As I resolve what seems enigmatic
Trusting God, anchored on faith’s persistence.
Here am I, seeking the Lord’s instruction
Cognizant that His way** is always best
Through the Holy Ghost’s blessed guiding zest
Expressed by the Scriptures’ revelation.
Midst survival-battle of puzzling bouts
My spirit finds sure victory in Christ
Vanquishing unbelief, wisdom-sufficed
While secured by His truth against doubts
Thankful for divine vision, glowing bright
My heart rests and basks in the Saviour’s love
Surmounting dilemmas with peace above
Sharing gift*** of life along heaven’s light.
*The 27 Club includes popular musicians, artists, actors, and other celebrities who died at age 27,[7] often as a result of drug and alcohol abuse or violent means such as homicide, suicide, or transportation-related accidents.
**John 14:6 of the King James Bible (Words in bold complete the assertion of Jesus Christ).
***Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Yesterday I put medicine to drive away cockroaches
While I threw all dead ones I asked myself
Is it not a sin?
But I can't let them thrive in my house!
Such questions often I ask,
Life is a question to me
Many a problems I have surmounted
Why this suffering led me to scriptures
They stated we suffer for our sins
But what is sin is a question to me
God will you please tell me?
Have come so far copying others
About right, wrong I am not very sure
I lead an ignorant life
Nothing is clearly given
What if all are wrong
My sins will surely mount!
Scriptures themselves are so ambiguous
Following them not easy
God will you tell me clearly
In simp!e words how to live perfectly?
Spiritual books state when sins end we get salvation
But how to end sins does some book say
In an easy and concise way?
I obey my conscience whenever it speaks
Still some problem or other creeps
Mind is rarely at peace
I am good even when others are bad
I try my best not to sin
Still my suffering doesn't cease!
Scriptures state it is last birth deeds
But there is no proof
Even God whom all praise
Does he exist is a question to me!
If he does why doesn't he show his face?
Why is he hiding himself?
What happens after death,
Nobody knows
Why is this kept a secret
another question to me!
My life, my actions
everything around is a question to me
Life is an unanswered question
Why there is so much mystery in life
Is biggest mystery to me

Monk's shaved pate
thick pelt around edge
leans over book
leans over book above river
reciting lines, reading scriptures, preparing
first for his personal salvation, then
for those of other men.
He prays, sweetly
serenely, steadfastly
participating
in the broad rhythmic thrusting of the river
and the earth.
Completely exposed
to its vibration
he vibrates passively
yet passionately
putting effort into remembering some
of the ancient, past taboos
and practices
Performing
the art of total presence
and abstinence.
Absent from worldly
life, abstaining wholly
from touching
the black girl
becoming
part of her beads
her sweaty underwear
commanding a full dress view
of her stimulus,
her honey.
How does one get to know the Bible?
the same you get to know friends
by spending real time with them
so you become the real spiritual blend
No matter the years you've lived
you can't sit back being complacent
for the scriptures will find you out
leaving you down in the basement
Like a herb when it's in full flavour
God provides enlightenment of light
making the clarity of scripture so real
discipleship takes you in full flight
When you become more familiar
with holy writ, there's a new dimension
for this divine word reveals a treasure
to you far hidden never a mention
But now God reveals in His word
His purpose to push your sanctification
gifting His treasure to you a sinner
transforms you with real ramifications
("To get the full flavour of an herb, it must be pressed between the fingers, so it is the same with scriptures, the more familiar they become, the more they reveal their hidden treasures and yield their indescribable riches.")
John Chrysostom (A.D. 347-407)
Everyone’s heard of the waiting game
how we don’t get what we want now
impatience is something we all suffer
we find it so hard at times but how?
There is within us a lack of contentment
an unwillingness to be still and wait
lying deep in our being is real unbelief
thinking it won’t happen no matter the date
God has declared in His holy scriptures
blessed are all they that wait on Him
for when God comes and proves Himself
filling our vessels right up to the brim
When we receive the fullness of God
we look back to think why we did complain
for God’s waiting time is always worth it
His timing’s perfect like cool refreshing rain
(‘Blessed are all they that wait on Him’ Isaiah 30: 18b)

So that by faith we can triumph in His divine territory
And be grateful for His assurance against doubt’s misery
While we exalt His name for His glory.

The fall of man is attributed to Eve
Who urged Adam to eat the forbidden fruit
Such is the story ancient biblical scriptures weave
Bringing about, as is said, on all of mankind disrepute
Reserving judgment on whether this tale is false or true
Blind belief that we have sinned shrouds us in guilt
Heart contracts every day swallowing this brew
No wonder then facing storms of life we wilt
Instead if we say man and woman are one
Polarities of God’s singularity that split in duality
Then concepts and beliefs entertained come undone
Allowing us to holistically view the absolute truth in totality
Eve is certainly not the villain she has been made out to be
Quite to the contrary, Adam was incomplete without her
Such is the interpretation, which our loving eyes see
We hope dear reader, that with us you concur
Reigning over my life is God
Enabling me to enjoy His granted eternal life
Guiding and girding up my faith for trust’s height
Instructing me thru the truth of His Scriptures
Nourishing my soul* with salvation-blessings' bounty
Assuring me of His presence constantly.
Redeemed by the blood of the Saviour
Empowered am I by His might to exalt His name
Fortified by His faithfulness
Optimized am I to engage in His ministry.
Rejuvenated midst weakness
Zealously, I strive to keep on doing His will.
Admonished to please Him by His grace
Desirous am I to delight in His fellowship
Offering myself to Him with praise and thanksgiving.
3 John 1:2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”

Dear Reggie,
A blessed birthday to you. I believe that this poem echoes your testimony.
the well intended but deluded soul
took on itself to spread God’s word
the fixation soon became its mission
to rescue those deemed wayward
the vulnerable who suffer on earth
tottering on the very edge of despair
clutch at wisps of straw so proffered
but of absolute truth remain unaware
there is no solace in words and symbols
scriptures merely point out direction
we each need to walk on the path alone
paving way for our soul’s resurrection
the entity who seeks must drop away
God cannot be caged in conditioned belief
the light eternal is loftier than mind thinks
in vibrancy of staid stillness turn a new leaf
