Weak and weary is the new physical outlook
while the skin remolds with lots of longitudes.
Hair dyed by nature itself,
Washed by legacies spreading
like the waves of an excited sea.
History presented with a new garment
through positive actions in great magnitude.
Looking back the steps, decorated with humanity’s smiles,
awarded so many caps and acquiring the ranks of a sir.
As the cycle completes as expected,
time will act and never change its attitude.
The sounds of death’s trumpet giving out a call
gradually gets there to first give a humble bow.
In his house, hades spreads the red carpet
Setting up a trip so far and permanent.
The journey is over,
a triumphant entry ensures into everlasting solitude
I COULD HAVE BEEN…
in Israel
my heart
with Israel
with Americans
who have lost loved
ones…been kidnapped
I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE
we had a plan
am I glad of my escape
my family doesn’t have to worry
but my heart is there
is there under the earth
in craven caverns
in the despair
of an army of civilians
forced to suffer
a holo-cost!
can you hear
the babies crying
old women’s bones, groaning
women scared to pieces
for their little ones
brave soldiers
those civilians
As they shudder
is God setting up the cell
for those who will end up
in hell forever-
those who would take
the celebrants
that danced, laughed,
praised just a few moments before.
They will again…
but for now we weep,
keep vigil and
vigilant.
I raised my hand and said I would be a volunteer assistant coach of a girls’ football league in the 80’s.
The night before our first practice, the real coach let me know I would be the coach; he was busy.
I had never seen the game played, and went in fairly blind, believing football was kickball.
As the girls were running onto the field, squealing; men were setting up nets. I had no idea why.
I had read the instruction book cover to cover the night prior to our first game.
This missive emphatically stated no one should kick a ball at another player.
Week after week my girls traveled up and down the field in possession of the ball.
When they looked ready to kick it at the goalie I would yell “NO!” in a loud, mean way.
The parents had a little intervention meeting with me after about the fifteenth game and explained to me why we always lost.
I had no idea prior to this game how the points were scored, wondering why we never won.
I swear, kicking the ball into a net was never part of the instruction in the book I read.
The women started a World Cup sixty years after the men, but I somehow doubt I will be asked to coach.

Key Verse – Ezra 5:5 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, that they could not cause them to cease, till the matter came to Darius: and then they returned answer by letter concerning this matter.
LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY WATCHFUL EYE
Lord God, You are watchful Eye for my life building
Thank You for Your direction upon my upholding
So that I can walk by Your prosperous guiding
Despite carnality’s relaxed attending.
Lord God, You are watchful Eye for my sincere devotion
Thank You for Your truth setting up my foundation
So that I can follow Your instruction
Despite selfishness’ temptation.
Lord God, You are watchful Eye for my eternal treasure-abundance
Thank You for Your guidance along good works’ performance
So that I can do my best without arrogance
Despite haughtiness’ endurance.
Lord God, You are watchful Eye for my need-fulfillment
Thank You for Your grace of complete contentment
So that I can dwell in Your prosperous settlement
Despite pleasures’ allurement.
Lord God, You are watchful Eye for my sins’ captivity-release
Thank You for Your freedom with purifying peace
So that I can separate from iniquity’s grease
Despite filthiness’ crease.
Lord God, You are watchful Eye for my prayer requests’ grant
Thank You for Your answers, making me spiritually vigilant
So that I can obey You by faith, and not remain stagnant
Despite rebellion that’s dominant.
Lord God, You are watchful Eye for my faithful service-reward
Thank You for Your encouraging commendation-award
So that I can labour well as Your diligent steward
Despite slothfulness pulling me downward.

Cowboys herdin’ cattle cross dusty trails
Sandy hooves paint ground fog in their wake
Shuffling along swattin’ flies off molty hides
Riders amble aside keeping eye on their stake
Chuck wagon camps, setting up by a creek
Beans and pan bread cookin’ over hot stones
Coffee’s meandering aroma penetrates the air
Greeting men carrying saddles over tired bones
Ranch hands scout the waters nearby
Look to the sky to judge the night
Storms a comin’ as night encroaches
Coyotes restless, cries rent last light
Cattle dogs alert to changes
Nip the heels of stragglin’ calves
Cowhand slaps his rope while coaxing
Blistered hands and lips in need of salves
Cowhands sing to calm their charges
Bedrolls gathered near the fire
Dreaming of a trail once taken
And of their loves as they retire
I was working Keeneland we had horses to be sold.
I was in charge of setting up the day was starting to unfold
When I went to receive a horse from around the truck he came
This worn down beaten gentleman he said Charlie was his name
He had a little kitten he had found along the way
He asked if there was somewhere around the track that he could stay.
I said Stash your stuff in our tack room you are welcome here to stay
This man had road here in a trailer quite a journey from L.A.
He said he had a wife and kids but didn’t see them much
He went from sale to sale traveling and such
Everybody loved him he and Baby made our days
He had a quite soft speaking voice and easy going ways
But when the sale was over they had to go away
As he climbed into a trailer I stopped by there to say
Charlie you be careful as I shook his feeble hand
He said God has my back I’m sure you understand
So as I drove back to the farm I thought of Charlie all the way
I thanked the lord for sending him to be with us that day
The bars of my self made prison tremble
My world begins to shake
Nothing is as it seems
The cracks in the cage grow larger
I start to sink
Enveloped by the darkness
The light begins to dim
The darkness welcomes me like an old friend
I dont fight it anymore
I allow the darkness to wash over me
To consume me
To swallow me up
How can you extinguish that which did not exist
My fight had been beaten from me long ago
My world has been blown to bits so often its barely whole itself
The world cannot save me now
Nobody can save me
Time for everyone to turn a blind eye
To pretend that your coping and doing well
Pretend,
their good at that
Ignoring what’s right in front of them
Conceal it
Cover it up
Brush over the imperfections
Bruises fade right?
The world will go on with or without you
I hold no significance In this place iv wandered aimlessly for 30 years
Down trodden and back stepping
Apologising for things that weren’t my fault
Fighting battles that weren’t my own
Setting up home in these cages all my life
Just swapping one prison for another
This one il not escape
I am my own prison
My mind is dark
My thoughts are all consuming and scary
There’s no way out
Nothing silences the evil
Nothing quietens the fear
How do you erase the darkest parts of you?
Friends our Government are setting up a Governance board to censor you, tag you, give you a fine, or put you in jail if you voice an opinion they don't like. They hired Nina Jankowicz to monitor all social media. If you don't think the collapse of free speech is here, without sounding rude, your living under a rock. Friends Fertilizer plants are being destroyed. Farmers cannot grow crops because of it. Farmers are also being paid not to grow crops. The biggest export port in the world, in Shanghai is shut down, the seventh largest port in British Columbia also. Like I have been screaming, they are orchestrating food shortages. Why? More control of you. You will have to eat their food which I would starve before eating. Also the supply for gas will diminish and there will be rationing all done on purpose. Get your houses in order. Stock up on food. Move away from the cities, start growing your own food. Start preparing for whats coming. As they call it The Great Reset. If you don't know what that is , please look it up. The New World Order, in other words. They will eliminate cash and bring in the Bitcoin currency for more monitoring of where your spending your money. If you speak against them your funds will vanish. Soon we will loose all power, no phone usage, no electricity, etc . They will blame lets say the Russians or another similar group. Read your bibles especially Revelation. God doesn't lie. He told you in Revelation what is coming. He told you before I did. If you don't know Jesus, now is the most important time to know him, because it is sad to say that those days spoken of Revelation are here now. God bless you all and may the good Lord be with you...

Santa Claus is coming to town;
Wearing his majestic red gown/
Riding in a sleigh,pulled by his raindeers/
Every child is waiting for his present/--
And so here are the people around the globe;
Twirling mind in setting up their home/
Reaching ten feet high christmas tree/
Star must be on top,lights twinkling brightly/
All gifts were wrapped in a fancy paper;
Every heart's desire was set on a dinner/
Counting down a seconds before it came/
The yuletide season of love and cheers.--
But take a pause and ponder awhile;
Is it a day for a bloated,mustachio guy?--
Or a King of Jews and Highness of sovereign land/
Everyone is singing now; "Santa Claus is coming to town!"
Serenading you with my sincerity
assembling praises in your name
your one glance falls in place
a thousand emotions it resurrects.
Dawn is the new dusk
you pretend and wave it off
but the beauty in it
like an elephant without a tusk.
I wander to find peace
to render apologies apiece
my state of mind eloquent of a mirage
and I stay true to this farce
reality sickens me to the core
bringing redundant conversations to the fore.
Dredging up new barriers
setting up new boundaries.
Parsing life stuck at this juncture
now I run slower
and a lot less hunger
our differences like embers
time smouldered them
now settled beneath the ashes forever
still flickering by power of faith
memories waiting for someone to remember.
