Premium Member You and I Are Orphans Together-

Brother, you and I 
Are orphans together
In the family of God
Held ever bounded closely together

Sister, you and I
Are orphans together
Together we in spirituals liberties
bounded as one big family

Humanity, you and I
Are awesome together
blinds by our mercies grace

Humanity, calming down
awaiting Jesus returning to this dismal sinful space
With brother and sister in hands
United we stand
With eagles wings around our heads
We're awaiting the coming of?
Jesus grace, His joyous face
When He once again walks this space

Hallelujah!!

Premium Member Lord I Wanna Sing

O’ Lord I kinda wanna sing;
O’ Lord I kinda wanna sing;
While I’m here on this sinful world;
I want to sing in your earthy choir;
Lord I know I want to sing;

O’ Lord My God I want to fly;
O’Lord My God I want to fly;
I hold my hands to my side;
As I sway by N by;

O’ I just want to fly;
Flying so high
So very high in the skies;
Ever high till my soul rises soars;
Freely I stand on New Jerusalem;
My work here is hardly done (now);

O’ Lord I kinda wanna sing;
O’ Lord I kinda wanna sing;
When I die I wanna try continually praise you;
I want to sing in your heavenly choir;
Lord I know I want to sing;

Premium Member My Solemn Trust Lyrically Musically Love You Much---

MY SOLEMN TRUST LYRICALLY MUSICALLY LOVE YOU MUCH---


Shall I tell you that I love you. I do;
And shall I ever tell it to the world;
Ever so loving and adoring you;
That I'm passionate and adore you girl;

And what manner of love is this my love;
I've written many poems and writes sole;
Candid floral essences of grandeur calls;
windblown spirituals breathing in my soul'

I haven't forgotten my plead nor pledge;
Never ending love shall I encompass?
Must I be keeping my emotions on the edge?
Sound play the sounds of Cupid's trumpet; 
 
As I join the surrey I love much;
Lyrically music, my solemn trust;

A Dialogue

Ava: What the hell is the spirituals. I give no **** about that. I buy no idea of the damni.

Emeka: Can you here what this 'Oyinbo' just said?

Abu: Lerim be,wha doeshim know?

Lola: How would he believe in the supposed '****'? Had it been you're an African:

where your mother use you for ritual,
Where your blood sister fill form of witchery
to usher you into the realm of madness.
Where your parent sell you #250,000-$900.

Ava: You said?

(continued)
Where your blood is better
for the throat than water.
Where your in-law bewitch you
because you wouldn't give your husband a child.

Ava: You're mistaken for God?  

Where your talent seems to
oppress than your 
bad behaviour.
Where your corpse appease
them than your life.
Where slaving in jupiter
is better than groving with your family.
Where who you confide in
turns out to be your worst enemy.
Where all that's suppose to bring good,
Pierce you with venomous sting.

Ava: uuh!...Seem i find a reason.
 
Akpororo: No,no find am na! U fo come.

Premium Member If I Could Just Hold On You Can Hold On Just a Little While Longer Jesus Gonna Fix It

IF I COULD JUST HOLD ON YOU CAN HOLD ON JUST A LITTLE WHILE LONGER—JESUS GONNA FIX IT

If I could just hold on, you can hold on a little while longer
If I could just hold on, hold on just a little while long
Therese are diver’s times
In these diverts times
Got chains, I got chains on my mind
My free will is drifting still yet I am bond
I’m shackled to myself, listen to Satan
And it’s my time, my time
To be delivered who would have known or figured
This mess I got myself in
If I could just hold on you can hold on a little while longer
Jesus gonna come, He’s already here, already done
What you want Him to do now
If you just hold on let yourself go now
Be free from mind to your soul
Just hld on, hold on, hold on, and hold on
Times winding up
We need a Savior, (I have a Savior)
We need God, I have a God)
So don’t be impatient, Jesus already fixed it 
So don’t be impatient, Jesus already fixed it 
If I could just hold on you can hold on a little while longer
If I could just hold on hold on just a little while longer
We need a Savior, (I have a Savior)
We need God, (I have a God)
So don’t be inpatient, Jesus already fixed it hold on

Premium Member Reconnecting Rituals

Rituals
are sacred
when they reconnect
what LeftBrain dominant
straight white privileged man
has transcendently and monotheistically 
disconnected secular nature
from sacred polytheistic spirits

Earthly nature
divorced from Heavenly spirit,
power
from light,
empowerment
from enlightenment,
autonomous theological identity
from interdependent ecological experience,
personal health
from transcendent joy

Like segregating
sexual health rituals
from sensory wealth of regenerative spirituals
sacredly enriching both Yang LiberalLovers
and more mundanely conserving
Yintegral every day 
red-blooded green conservation

PolyCultural rituals
of resonant positive is not negative,
resilient health is not pathological 
cancerous wealth

Lives fulfilling YangYin in-between
balancing rituals
reforming divinely sacred empowerment
and profanely prolific ecosystemic
enlightened health/wealth 
co-passionate care

Rituals,
sexual and sacred
are ultra-nonviolent sacramental
celebrating EarthMother's sacred
holy
holonic non-zero zen womb
of Yintegrity double-binary

ProGenitive balance
with Yangish LeftBrain
patriarchal EitherTop/OrBottom
conservative reaction
to protect healthy/safe conserving EarthTribe
through co-empathic therapeutic wounds
of historic win/lose zero-sum thinking

Unaware of positive
socio-eco-psycho-bio-theological flow
panentheistically co-operative
intersectionally co-invested
dipolar co-arising
bipartisan health-wealthing Left/Right

PolyPathic = Not(NotPolyVagal) 
P=N(NP) strategic win/win
ritualistic systems
for resilient/resonant
global justice/peace restoring outcomes

Rituals
both naturally enlightened
and spiritually empowering
for health/wealthy EarthTribe,
cooperatively DNA-enscripted
organic mindbodies
formed and reformed
by co-passionate neuro-sensory systems

Seeking pleasing
pleasure playful rituals,
like making slow-grown
universally uniting 
engaging
engorging love.

Premium Member The Powers That Be Kryptonite- -

I AM A HERO
BLACK
Are you my kryptonite
To battle the powers that be
Discrimination, political 
Spirituals warfare
Sadly my powers that be ruled over me
I AM A HERO 
WHITE Are you my kryptonite
White supremacy, skinned heads
Wounded knees
Shaved cold stoned hearts
Sadly my powers that be ruled over me

I AM A HERO
NATIVE AMERICAN what tribe am I
And where am I, Are you my kryptonite
Rich men never poor again fighting rising TAXES
What a shame
This disclaimer
Black Panthers in the jungles
Just getting stronger;
Poverty clashes
Fake rented mustaches
Seasoned hick
Country kicks
All run away, no where to stay to each his own way
Just ain’t right to be individual heroes  see none are right…
Sadly my powers that be ruled over me

HERO AM I 
Lo, I be creeping in the night…
I KRYPTONITE
