Foolish Trump

God gave you
another hour of power.

An hour
to prove wisdom.

But power without wisdom
breaks the hand that holds it.

Donald Trump,
history is watching.

The people of
United States
chose you
to guard their house—
not to set the world on fire.

A nation desired peace.
You promised it.

“America first,”
you said.

Yet wars do not feed a nation.
They drain its future.

Leadership without wisdom
is a storm
that ruins its own harbor.

What is this war for?

What threat stood before you
from Iran
that demanded fire?

Power carries responsibility.
Rulers forget this
when applause grows loud.

Riches may buy influence.
They cannot purchase wisdom.

A ruler who listens
only to allies
forgets the voice
of his own people.

And a people betrayed
do not forget.

History records
not the noise of power—
but the consequences.

Remember this:

The strength of a nation
is not measured
by the wars it begins,

but by the peace
it preserves.

And when leaders forget
the limits of power,
time reminds them.


Beats In the Air

Like melody in the warmth of a sunlit meadow
Like jingles in the journey of a sparkling stream
Like tunes in the twinkling of a moonlit night
Music comes to take you on a soothing flight. 

Rain sings to see the peacocks dance
Sky sings in tune with the rising sun
Cradle sings to drive the baby's eyes into the world of dreams
Life sings when faithful love wins.

There's music in the pecking of a bird
There's music all over the world
Music fills the air with the perfume of peace
Music, to the palpitating soul, proffers relief.

Sing to heal the pain
Sing to cleanse the stains of disdain
Sing to challenge injustice
Sing to question prejudice
Sing to spread love
Sing to paint smiles
Sing with your heart
Sing for your soul
Sing to inspire 
Sing to set the world on fire
Sing your life and let your story kindle the globe

Catching the Trump Madness

Releasing the Trump Monsters

The Trump madness deepens
And the world grows darker
The evil ones have been released
The wild things are growling

The dogs of war
Satan’s hell hounds
Are on the loose
Howling at the moon

Running amuk
Infecting us all
With their madness
As we all turn into mindless zombies

Filled with hatred
Jealousy and insanity
As Trump and his neo-fascist
Cabal unleash the monsters

Of their dangerous id
Devouring all reason
Turning all they see
Into raving lunatics

As they set the world on fire
Ushering in the ends of days
Armageddon looms
Will Trump be raptured away?

Only God knows
And he is not telling
As we descend 
Into the maelstrom 

Hoping against hope
That we can overcome
The monsters 
That Trump has unleashed

In the end 
Perhaps it does not matter
As the world careens
Deeper into hell

There is no end 
Nothing but despair
Forever and ever
The Trump madness never ends

Pathways To Serenity

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyUebyqDCYg


In the absence of complication,
trials and tribulations become distant memories.
Above, sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes 
and inspire forthcoming musings of the mind ***

Traverse with me oh blessed soul into a world of silence 
together we can breach the Universal laws of order 
and wrap our dreams with silver bows of mercy and love..... 
Ensembles of beauty will ignite and claim our hearts 
as we become students of the inner light ;

Place the spotlight onto heaven with ecumenical delight  
recall the stars ablation as they blink and disappear 
for sake of morns relinquish,she yields to sacred night;
Go ahead resign your tribulations and comply dear Mystic,    
sing your cacophonic songs as miracles abound 
beneath His tribal skies, new contracts await you,  
so now that you know,  go set the world on fire 
with your afterglow and gait.

Premium Member The Donald For President

With confidence in his voice, his hair all askew
The Donald proclaims, "I can run for President, too!"
A self made man, with several TRUMP towers
The Real Estate KING is now "man of the hour".

He feeds off and craves attention and power
Surrounded by apprentices and staff he encounters.
Imagine the boardroom meetings at the Presidential suite
as The Donald decides what bills to veto or keep
Or world leaders to send to the suite or the street.

With street wise straight talk, he'll get the job done
And make sure the world knows we're still Number One
Bomb the hell out of ISIS, set the world on fire
Stare down terrorism, point his finger and say
"YOU'RE FIRED!" (and mean it, too!)

You'Re Always the Queen

Don't let other people define your worth...
And don't give anyone power over your self-respect and self-esteem...
You are enough... You are special... 

R&B / Rap mix lyrics...

You're always the Queen
By Michelle Morris
05/11/2020

No matter who you are, you matter;
You're always special, that's a fact y'all;
Forget the complainers and the haters,
Forget the shamers and those fakers;
No one can compare with you,
Don't let their meanness and jealousy fool you...
They're just wishing they could be you... 
Yeah...Yeah... Yeah now... 

Chorus
'Cos you're always the Queen, no matter what cards are showing, and
You're always the Queen, no matter what 
games they'll be playing, and
Even if you don't see it now, it's still real;
You're always the Queen,
So you just be chill... 
You're always the Queen, 
'Cos it's been divinely willed... (end chorus)

So step out and be cool now,
Step out and be you now,
'Cos no one can ever take your place 
in the human race and
No one can change you but you;
You have to relate, and
Reintegrate the facts now, 
They're the facts y'all...
'Cos you are unique and you're a Queen,
No matter the kingdom, whether seen or unseen...

Chorus

So remember now, remember for good,
You're always a blessing to this neighbourhood,
And no matter how far you go from here,
You're always part of the community cheer;
'Cos you're a Queen, and you always will be,
You're a Queen, and you know it's real, yeah;
Don't need the crown to show your worth now,
Just dream on high and set the world on fire, 
With your sparkles, and with your charm...
You're a Queen - always disarming...

Chorus

Premium Member Rosemary's Baby

Rosemary’s baby incarnated 
He lives from day to day
And he is well anticipated
To blow the world away
How come that he is real?
Ask me another question
I know how you must feel
About his reign direction
He’s not a baby anymore
Although to some extent
He still is, with his senseless war
That seems to have no end
A soul more hollow than a stem
Of reed in Dartmoor’s mire
Is driven by the devil’s plan
To set the world on fire 
The other day I passed on by
Rosemary’s baby castle walls
And from the Bridge of Last Goodbye
I watched the languid tourist boats 
The sun shone of the domes of gold
The devil’s men inside 
Were praying to their bloody god
“Why wouldn’t you just die?”
Rosemary’s baby laughs at them
On their death wish he thrives
He’s well aware that he’s damned
This keeps him still alive
So what we have to do with that
I guess the only way
Would be to kill him like a rat
With all his men array.

Burn It Down

Burn it down
By Michelle Morris
15/07/2022

You light a match
And burn it down
You burn your life
Right to the ground

And you wonder
What you've done
Should you seek
Professional help

But your path
It's true and clear
You know what works
What you fear

Desire for
Freedom now
No longer follow
All the crowds

Chorus
Burn it down
Burn it down
See the flames 
Go higher and higher

Burn it down
Burn it down
See the flames
Set the world on fire
(End Chorus)

As you watch 
Those flames burn bright
You see the embers
They take flight

And they leap 
And they soar
They burn down
Everything for sure

For you have set
A new course
Inspired others
With your choices

And one by one
They come to know
That their freedom
Is theirs to own

Chorus

Burn it down
Burn it now
See the world
It's all on fire

Burn it high
Burn it low
Burn it softly
Burn it slow

Burn it down
One by one
See you freeing
Everyone

Burn it high
Burn it low
It's time for everyone
To know 

Chorus x2

You light a match
And burn it down
You burn your life
Right to the ground

Burn it down
Burn it now
See the world
It's all on fire

Yes, the world 
Is all on fire
Embrace the fire 
Of desire 

Yes, the world
Is all on fire
Embrace the fire
Of desire

Premium Member New Ways To Set the World On Fire

War if fought by those who have firm ideas
By those who are inflexible
Those who have never lived on the streets

We stand up to set the world on fire
To make her think
To open her horizons

War is fought by those with dogmas
That encourage young women to wear black veils
Those who say we do not judge, but never stop

We stand up to set the world on fire
to burn those veils 
To free the captives who did not realize a better way

War is fought by those who have never tried 
New ways, new ideologies, new freedoms
Those who have been in chains since pre-birth.

We stand up to set the world on fire
To sing our homeless hymns
To cherish freedoms status quo will never understand.
