We all have certain attributes,
That make us who we are.
Certain things that God saw fit,
To use creating our,
Specific soul and manifest,
Our certain type of beauty,
And that's why we should realize,
That it's just not our duty,
To set about to single out,
The difference in each other.
We may not look or sound the same,
But in the soul, we're brothers.
It's not for us to think or say,
Some don't look as they should.
T'was God, Himself who crafted all,
And said that it was good.
"SHOW RESPECT FOR EV ERYONE. LOVE CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE. FEAR GOD AND HONOR THE GOVERNMENT."
(Living Bible) 1 Peter 2:17
"ANYONE WHO DOES GOD'S WILL IS MY BROTHER, AND MY SISTER AND MY MOTHER."
(Living Bible, The Words of Jesus) Mark 3:35
For Something Different Contest by Debbie Guzzie
If you were born in the month of August
Be cool, be calm, be wise and be robust
Summertime is almost over
And autumn is around the corner
Teeny or feeble leaves are falling
Some days are hot or humid like spring
Yellow tiny bugs are crawling everywhere
As customary, the hot summer rays failed
To obliterate quite a few. This is no fairy tale
Let’s wish everyone born in the dawn of August
Many Happy Birthdays. Let’s single out no one
Be cool, be calm, be wise and be robust
Love will remain in the air for everyone
To enjoy the very end of summer
In the name of the Savior.

My vision tingles, colors awaken
as if they'd been fossilized in a photograph of
black and white.
My sight starts to single out exactly
what isn't there.
I stare, immense beauty exploding-
a supernova of stellar Earthly sights
pierces the veil of vile synthetic lights.
They skew, anew, casting golden lemon drop
crystals amongst the freshly sprouted green petals
of grass.
And at last,
while sharing their golden nectar amid white
wisps of washed out clouds that patch the
glistening sky,
dragonflies
flitter
by.
Intertwined and combined in perfect unison, they sing-
all is as it should be,
we are the epitome of yin and yang.
DARE TO BE CHALLENGED
Imagine if a human could shed their skin,
Inside out and from within,
We could then see anything foul,
We would bare our brain, heart and soul
Anything suspicious we would detect,
From our toes to our head,
We would be able to label humans suspect,
Or else quite correct, as we had checked!
Technology will one day do just this,
If one’s mind is on merely giving a kiss
Or perhaps we could single out a criminal,
Programmed intensely, techno and digital.
But this sounds so advanced, science fiction,
To us today, sounds like work of magician,
For if indeed our souls can be examined
Are we still destined for heaven or challenged?
Mistakes were they deliberate or was it not intentional so what's
the point wasting anyone's time?
If one's intentions were true yet the pieces to the puzzle are scrabbled
by past, present mistakes.
Mistakes doesn't single out, trembles and don't becomes deflated
by numerous mistakes made unintentionally are no longer counted,
Yet mistakes are jarring, run deep like a river. Streaming where this
water may flow next? Free will, possibilities one might utter about
mistakes repeatedly, are often reminded by someone you trust
that keeps reminders I told you, when will you learn from being dupable
from these mistakes?
The Food I Love
To single out one special food
that really makes me smile
is difficult for sure because
so many are worthwhile.
But there's a yummy list for me
within a certain group;
those comfort foods I need and crave,
like extra creamy soup.
And mac and cheese can make my day
so filled with carbs and fat.
My heart beats "oh, please think of me...
my arteries filled with plaque."
Oh, pizza...topped with sausage, cheese,
stuffed crust and deep dish too;
or bacon-wrapped hot dogs on rolls
plus fries with barbeque.
Those pasta dishes of all kinds
heaped high with cheese and meat
and lots of bread and butter too...
a comfort food retreat.
Grilled-cheese/tomato sandwich packed
with bacon in the spread;
the calories are off the chart...
my doc would shake his head.
But comfort food is simply that...
it makes me feel so fine.
I help to lessen all the harm...
and drink heart-healthy wine!

What do you do with pain
What do you do with illness
You either give in or live with it
Surgeries, medications, herbal remedies
Prayer faith and atonement
Everyone suffers
Everyone hurts
Life is precious and fleeting
Is it unfair for life to drag endlessly in youth
And race away so fast as adults when we could use it the most
No use crying
Just smile
Limp along and use whatever aid you need
A cane, a walker, a brace, a wheel chair
but get out there in the thick of life
If others feel uneasy because of you
Let them, for everyone of those
There are the blessed souls who'll open a door
and assist you, God Bless the good
Life seems unfair but everyone has loss
everyone has fears, everyone has doubt
You are not the only one
You haven't been single out
You are not being punished
It's part of life
So if you need to when at home
Go ahead
Scream, shout , rage. cry, let it out, let it go
But have something to look forward to
Have something to believe in
"In the beginning God created..."
Live with it.
Poetry Soup abounds in poets who are special in unique ways and for me it was so hard to single out just one. So I was reluctant to join this contest. However at the last moment, I thought of choosing one, Edward Ibeh, a true gentleman in my eyes, who never comes to limelight, except for the contests he holds from time to time.
E - Effective words in place, a poet’s grace.
D - Diligent in duties and devoted to virtue in every place.
W- Wisdom and humility combine in this forbearing soul.
A - Authentic heart that cherishes life in its whole.
R - Radiates kindness like a guiding light.
D - Dignified in character, making many hearts bright.
I – Illustrious poet with a passion for his art, so genuine.
B - Braving adversities, in family and community shine.
E - Elevates fellow poets, giving due respect to all.
H - Honorable in every way, he's a gentlemanly soul.

WRITTEN WORDS BY James Edward Lee Sr. 2023©
Two towns not different
from each other and yet
they have become indelible
and their preciousness inestimable,
they are two thoughts of equal devotion;
on one I spent lively and spontaneous days
of my brief youth that was given to passion:
going to school, playing soccer in a distant field,
On the other, I rolled up my sleeves and worked hard.
Two towns with friendly people showing a frown
when faced with many hardships
and a few questionable rewards;
and that incited me to be a fervent dreamer,
someone who allowed imagination and dreams
create something beyond belief that shocked my peers.
I could have been a notorious painter,
or even an applauded composer,
but those aspirations vanished as fog at the arrival of dawn...
boarding an airplane, taking me far from my birthplace
while the Vietnam war raged on
and hippies sang songs of rebellion and peace,
and with drums and guitars, they rambled on
being deluded that freedom was won without arms and courage
by smoking weed and getting drunk: that didn't change their tune.
Two towns not different from each other
have remained engraved into a youngster's memory
and they can't be taken apart, or single out by animosity
having been stumbling blocks but also inspiring as well;
did I wish to leave my motherland and not tell
how tragic and how appalling was my farewell...
uncertain of a future not so brighter in color?
