You’re certainly missing out
Whilst you’re fooling about
And you’re swimming in doubt
So I shall certainly you out-rout
I’d advise you to be on the lookout
For I’m your rival, far more worthy a scout
Take heed or you’ll end up looking like a lout
All I can tell you for now is that you’re missing out
While you’re looking away
Twirling in relentless dismay
Your insolence successfully leads you astray
So He finds me in greater favour every day
Unlike you, I’m eloquent with words that gently sway
The God with whom for hours on exhausted knees I stay
‘Till the last hour of the night a dear prayer to say
With heartfelt sobs and a submissive heart I pray away
I whisper, “Dear God of mercy, show me your face
For I am a sinner in need of Your saving Grace
For years in meditation and supplication I’ll chase
The benedictions You bestow unto the winners of the race
The so-called ‘faithful’ ones who cautiously pace
In the promising path which for them You daily trace”
I solemnly utter, “My heart with Love and Faith do interlace
So I can one good day be worthy of seeing Your glorious face”
If you were smart, you’d take after me
Vigilant and sober at all times you’d be
So from the snares of the enemy you’d easily flee
Who’s literally got you down on one knee
Yet too proud you are for your life to give an earnest plea
No diligence whatsoever for efforts to be free
Indeed that thief I am, the thief of grace, you see
Watch out, or you’ll lose all your blessings to me
Once more I want to thank you
Father
For everything you did for me
Through all the years
You gave me the gift of life
After you had created
Me in you image
You had given me
Grey hair and brown eyes
You tell me that I am
Beautiful you in your eyes
Father I don't agree with you
At all
Father you are untitled to your opinion
I am untitled to mine
I feel that I am an an ugly men
I must say that I am happy
To be alive
Every single day
Father I don't mess up with
My health
I am taking good care of my health
Father I never smoked for 60 years
And I don't plan to smoke now
Because I would ruin my health
Also I would damage my lungs
Yes Father thanks god I have
healthy lungs
Also I been sober for 60 years
So I have a healthy liver
Yes every single morning
I go for a big walk around the block
And also walk is good for me
Today the day ended very fast
The sun went down very fast
And I saw the beautiful sunset
That left me speechless
Now the night arrived
And it is my bed time
I must pray to my father
It only takes a couple minutes
Then I can go to sleep
I hope that I don't wake up
In the middle of the night
I want to sleep all through
The night
Yes tomorrow will be another day
That will arrive early for me
I will be up by then
I will not sleep in during the morning
Because I will be wasting a beautiful day
I need to go out and get a life
And live it to the fullest
I also need people in my life
That will be my friends
In view of God's mercy I say this to you
offer your body as a sacrifice in a manner pure and true
it's about finally living well in the body of Christ
to be holy, pleasing and acceptable in God's sight
no longer willing to conform to the patterns of worldly designs
now willing to be transformed with a godly renewal of the mind
for by the grace that was given to each and everyone
to not think so highly of yourself but to be humble like the Son
It's time for us to start living much healthier lives
for our bodies are precious temples in the eyes of Christ
so fed it well, exercise it and abstain from drugs and drink
to be sober in our judgement and the way we now think
It's about us living well in the body of Christ
to understand we all have different roles in life
just as the ears do the hearing your talent might be teaching
just as the feet do the walking your gift might be preaching
just as the hands do the touching your function might be serving
just as the eyes do the seeing your purpose in God's sight is worth preserving
living well in the body of Christ according to the grace that was given to us
living well in the body of Christ by the mercy of Christ Jesus
now healthier, now fitter, exercising and eating right
full of the joy of the Lord basking in His brilliant light
to be encouraging, giving generously, diligent and cheerful in life
it's all about living well in the body of our Lord Jesus the Christ
Maybe I shall live long
Long and long.
Perhaps I might not defunct
After emptying this long life pot.
My boy shall die while I'm exist
I shall place him beneath soil of gold in zealot’
To his surprise the pot was drenched
In his sight the pot was emptied
He winked and glanced at the pot a million times
So sober he was
‘Father, have you drunk the water?
Moreover, what is the necessity of this water?’
Asked small baby, in his sight, the pot was full of water
‘Father, I also shall drink from this water
And take a little home for my younger ones
And also for my friends’
With hands merged together
In the pot, small kid fetched the water
‘Father, will you drink more, this is sweet?’
Big kid stretched his hands out
And received the water and swigged
Realizing he was being self-interested
He could not live for just himself, but also others
Family and friends and none-friends
Must benefit the good act of his existence
So silent was the years passed by as kite
Two years had elapsed and this night
Pleasantly, big baby passed away just as night
But once more he realized
His children were his long lived
His children were his elixir of life
Thank you for reading me.
Pulse facing, sweat racing
Light deafening sounds blinding
World’s waiting, stage blazing
Times nerving, ticking
All of this to Salute a King
Floors pouring, people raining
Eagerly participating,
Constantly deliberating
Righteously anticipating
A new world order brought about by their Master
Finally, no more violence
Brought about by tender silence
The only nature of its science
Was fearing unrestricted defiance
Saluting King and Kingdom alliance
Yellow majesty and glory
Was witnessing this sacred story
‘See and reap in my Kingdom’ say He
With certainty, destiny foreseen
Praising their Lord and the freedom to be
Eyes listening, ears watching
Feet whistling, fingers shuffling
Sky groaning, thistles moaning
History’s waiting, future’s debating
Hail the King and our new world order
A spurned kiss, a tender brow
Were actions thought to be allowed.
Optimism of this golden Crown
Was the only sober thought that ushered the crowd
As beast and men all salute the King
343.
The Water of Alena
Oh Sanggre Alena, Keeper of the Jewel of Water
Pour unto me the blood of being kind & sober
Kind towards people who are in need
Sober towards those who have wronged us in deed
Baptize me with the flexible being of Sapiro
To be like an adventurous patriot & hero
Just like the water of life – stir up my spirit
In coping up with both coldness & heat
Being the most romantic of all the siblings
Your indomitable spirit is beyond reckonings
The wave of your tide –oh wash away impurities
Brought by the kiss of filthy enemies!

*Superhero Collection
As I hike
The winding Rattler paths of Green Mountain
It’s tempting to think
Beneath my skidding leather shoes
These marbles of red stones
Were scattered and tossed here
Just today
Laid out
While I was still eating breakfast
Though I know
The mountain is rising from iron boots
Shedding its skin
Shaking to wind
Alpines cracking its rocks like eggs
Boulders giving way if you imagine a day
When the ranges are here
No more
Rolling down
In their own tide of time
Plunging without trace
To the bottom of a future azure sea
I have a strange thought
That if a black bear foraging this early autumn
Came along and found me
Perched on the moss of this throne of stone
Writing poetry
And began to devour me
I would keep my quiet
Until his stomach was full
Lumbering home in a bonnet of sunset
Me
Set free to the universe
Two women walk by
Shatter my silence with growls and hunger
One says to the other
“Well, he’s doing a lot better.
He’s been sober one year but he told me
He really doesn’t see the point to life
Anymore.
"I mean, what do I say to that?"
When you're hot
I mean when you start
Glowing or winning
Instead of them to flow
They start looking for faults
Bringing the past you've outgrown to shine
Just to bring you down
Stay strong, so they won't think their plots or plans have been manifested.
When you're happy
They'll do anything
To make you bored
Just to see you sober
Or slow you down
But you're a soldier
Don't surrender
Just stay locked in yourself.
When they see you on top
They will do everything to rip you apart
Just to see you down again at the bottom
I'm talking about your oppositions
No matter how lovely or kind you are
There's always a rivalry
A savior was nailed in Calvary
Jesus Christ to be precise
So; my brother leave story
Just give God the glory
For him to give you victory.
"Possums on the Run - Part 2"
No ice cream,
cupboard’s bare
ultra Fahrenheit sun,
hang out the clothes
do the dinner run,
setting table,
setting sun,
Can of Irish Stew, mashed potatoes,
Baked Beans, toast -
no Sunday Roast -
cordon blue, delectable, what fun…
Fruit Bats flying,
Yellow crested Cockatoo screams
Pink Galahs are joking
Kookaburra’s laughing
rabbit in the back yard again
where’d it come from?
Shakes her head, thinks,
“It’s escaping, it’s on the run”.
The other two are dying,
they’ve gone awol,
jumped the fence
drank the Mick priests’
alter wine and then some,
time to mention
the box of Dad’s Wine Club
she thinks, “ bloody hell,
they’ve gone wild. Why me?
Why am I left with
the Primary School Club?”
He’s gonna be home soon
she turns the shower on
stands them up quick,
cold water rushing down,
anxiety sets in thick,
adrenalin rush
heart boom-boom-boom
“Quick!” she cries, “Quick!”
stand them up under cold water
in the shower, “Quick, Quick, Quick!”.
“Come on l’il sista”,
the kid’s laughing,
like it’s fun
sober up before Five,
he’s gonna be home soon
“god! The Father
and the son…
We’re Done! Done! Done!”
Flyscreen door, mosquito coils
here comes the Kimberley’s roar
it’s 5pm,
all looks normal
li’l sister sitting up sober and brave
table’s set, dinner’s ready
where’s the other one?
She’s laying flat out,
counting zzzzz’s
'cause she hit the ruddy rum!
Shake her, wake her up
the King is home, surf’s up
din-din’s on...
Steak N Kidney Puddin’
from the tin
“Wake Up! Runi-B-Kahrun,” she
whisper-screams on the run
to the dinner table,
“get quick to the kitchen, run, run, run!”
Small town blues
bugger it, bugger bum
(Aussie Slang nothing
nefarious) run, run, run
That was yesterday
table set, dinner done
debate around the table
“Tids”, he says with concern,
“you're looking rather piqued, better
go rest some”.
Another day is done.
