Premium Member CHRISTMAS CHRIST MEANING-

 for the real meaning of Christmas Christ
Step down from heaven to save us
Emmanuel God's presence with us Jesus

Joyous peace agape love so close
Stepping down from heaven host
Name mercies Grace comes to save us

Holy in accordance creation sings
Revelry abundant grace heavenly
Triumphant poised peace salvation brings

Father in heaven author of heavenly things
Hopeful pageantry feels seventy

For the real meaning of Christmas Christ 
From this moment on freedom song 
Emmanuel God presence with us Jesus

Earth is jinxed, earth is crying

Screams, screeches, groans and wails,
Brutalities, agonies, torture, and blood,
Tear gas, pellet guns, bullets and bombs

Humanity sobs; the world falls apart
Does anyone care? 

Kids are blinded
Men are jailed
Women are molested
The old are tortured

Luckily, you have food
Billions are starving
You have a warm blanket
Trillions live under the frigid sky

Dreams are murdered
Voices go unheard
Wishes fade and blur
Every heart has become a graveyard

Sweet melodies step down
As Sighs take over the throne
Rainbow of Joy is washed away
By the deluge of tears

The soul of Humanity becomes a prey
To the endless wild forest of wars
While atrocities have robbed
Jaws of their smiles...

Yet you say the world is beautiful??

Yes, perhaps for you,
For you are at peace….

Come out of your palace
You will see….

Sky painting itself red!
Butterflies renouncing their dreams
Birds with trimmed wings
Oceans of blood,
barren trees, burnt houses,
Tear-filled eyes, and shattered bodies. 

Earth is ugly
Earth is savage
Earth is a cage
Earth is but a jinxed place! 

Yet, our only home, 
Our only hope....

Premium Member The 1 'N 2 Step

I don’t know who is more excited 
At the thought of my weekly visits
Me or the old folks at the residence

I bring along some cheerful music 
and we limber up their appendages 
Swinging about at first up and down the arms
Then moving those corny feet from side to side

Let’s shake it out and let’s begin
We’re going to learn the 1 'n 2 step
All together we can all do this:

Put your LEFT foot out and pout
Bring it back, give it some slack
Now your RIGHT foot out and move it about
Bring it back, smile and hunch your back

And repeat  And repeat
Now you got the 1 'n 2 step down pat
So we’ll pump up the volume
And do it again but in unison
1 'n 2  and  1 'n 2
Don’t get too excited and hurt yourselves
You’re doing great
1 'n 2  and  1 n' 2
And that’s it… we’re done
Awesome work out
Practice and I’ll be back next week!

Premium Member An Oracle '' a Cautionary Tale''

An Oracle, ‘’ a cautionary tale’’

The man was called upon to help he went, heart full of love, not his own 

but (put there) questions and laughter..are  (you surely sent) then test the

spirits was a teaching the ‘‘executive Minister’’ applied, an overriding

rule his intent! Journey down to a little old hall, seemed to rub them up

wrong yet trying  (to answer that call) started too early was often the slot

to preach, a new understanding of Christians this treatment did teach, as

the Deacon changed leaders amid small slights and large. Till late in 1991

the Holy spirit took charge..! Psalms 36 verses 1 to seven thru, (n k j)  

taking this note to the executive was what he must do, and feeling in a

a condition of de ja vue, just wrote outreach name  not feeling worthy

and not wanting to lay blame. 3 months later the Deacon saw red, took

a knife half cut off brother in laws finger a shame,  step down the testing 

preacher  then said, still attending church meetings and opening halls

rolls 10 years on, & the full fulfilment now calls. His son argues with blood

uncle.. Ex-Deacon arrives kills this brother with a shotgun over another

he drives, also shoots him a no more (progeny shot) then he goes to the

slammer to await his lot.!

For the Glory of God & ^Rick Parise’s Oracle contest, I see that this 
Contest was not the idea of a man. But Rick is being used to set the
Stage to show Gods prophetic power, the above is a true story I knew
All of the people involved, I believe that this contest fits the saying
That all hidden things will be brought into the light, I have no
Personal knowledge of Rick, yet you would be forgiven for thinking  we have  
dreamed this opportunity up..! (I submit this work as Gods entry)

Premium Member My Friend This Is the End

Many intimates might collapse, we realize,
And direct us to strive solely in this place,
There's nearly a ray of hope in the eagle's eyes,
To shed the ode's tear without further grace.

We say he imparted when we survey his space,
Some are eager, friends return as we eulogize,
Angels beset him and herald his embrace,
Many intimates might collapse, we realize.

Adversity is forlorn, no matter how time flies,
A gone friend feels like a limb misplace,
Assigning a friend's loss bond ethical mates,
And direct us to strive solely in this place.

Our chums are silent, yet they've left men race,
They went one step down a path we will equalize,
Enjoying a friend may no more provide solace,
There's nearly a ray of hope in the eagle's eyes.

Sadness confines us with infinity-long ties,
Some folk enters our life forbear a long trace,
Of our feelings, causing irreversibly applies,
To shed the ode's tear without further grace. 

We can't stop preferring a friend since he dies,
Notably, if he's worthier than anyone, you notice,
Splitting from living pals, anguish amplifies,
When relished life fully and truly, fate may glance.

A 50 Bullet Wedding

In America, it is difficult to be black
You always have to stay on track
Where are all the Black men, at
Incarcerated, must of them, Jack
Well, I made it most of the way
Hey, I got a good job, with good pay 
So, I am getting married, on this day
This wedding ceremony worked out, you know, okay
Now, its time to celebrate, this way
Just friends and family to congregate, up in this place
Man, this wedding reception is great
Yeah, it is dark outside and it is getting late
I need to step outside to meditate
I got something special for my baby girl
Then, I grabbed my keys and my coat
Casually, I jet to my car
Well, I did not get very far
I heard gunshots ring through the air
So, I got nervous, with great despair
Sure, you feel the tempers flair
I see the man, packing the heat
You feel the anger in these streets
The words began to shout, no doubt
Boy, put your hands up, behind your head, before we roll out 
We have no problem here, Mr. Man
I just want to get some stuff out my car
The policeman said no, then pointed the assault weapon, at my head
Now, freeze, step down, and put that body on the ground 
Then, I reached down for my car keys, with my left hand
Homey, those bullets blasted out, like jet rockets
Suddenly, they burst a few rounds, up inside of me
I receive multiple bullets from my head to my knees
They decided not to incarcerate me, 
Instead, they invited me to this 50 bullet wedding, without the bride or groom

Premium Member Iron Veils in Shadowy Vales

From the crag I see the path
descend into the valley
shrouded in the shadows of
doubt, uncertainty, and fear of failure.
I see a white pillar cast in regret's cold salt-stone,
from which there is no turning back.
Even a brief glance back over the shoulder
up into the bright crags of peaks above,
bathed in bright sunlight in the path behind me,
will cause me to fall off the path side, 
into the chasm of hell, penance, suffering and retribution,
toppling off the cliff with arms and legs flailing,
tumbling out of control, 
screaming through gnashed teeth.

The shadows wreak of tales untold,
of battles fought and lost,
of past losses and retreats on endless repeats. 
The mists wreak and stink of echoes 
returning, haunting back to 
what was longing to be forgotten,
as I step lightly 
into the shadows of the valley.

I draw in my collar around my cheeks,
drag my hood over to cover my head,
pull my arms tightly against my body 
to retain my bodily heat
to shield against the dank, dark, nagging cold, 
I look ahead with steely-eyed determination
to soldier-on with the resilience and resolve
that's deeply forged within the marrow of my bones
I take another step down
to rise above the easy path
to self-victimization, subterfuge and blame.

I succumb without a whimper
to the blast furnace.
To be heated soft to red-white hot.
To be beaten and banged,
by the blacksmith clad in leather, 
into an steely shape 
only useful when cold.

Forget All the Foolishness

Forget all the foolishness of the moment
that made you breathe in fear and anger;
stand up and face the inescapable fact:
you can run once, but not forever!

Don't try to be perfect,
show everybody how you care;
I'm the one who needs attention,
so get rid of your pretension,
throw away what's unfair...
and speak words with intent!

Forget all the foolishness of the moment,
it's stupidity on your part, be someone 
sensible to my needs, show that big heart;
making mistakes is not being imperfect:
you can learn from them, it's not a horrendous crime...
who lurks in frightening shadows is shut out from the light!   

Step down from your splendid heaven where
all the angels object to your greed;
show every tender feeling and feel free
to love the faithful one waiting alone...
watching rageful waves in a troubled sea:
being human is not seeing somebody bleed!

Forget all the foolishness of the moment,
all can be forgiven quickly, seek atonement;
don't see your wounded pride but something different:
a chance to amend faults and not feel the embitterment!

The Pope Resigns

Pope Benedict will leave his post,
A move unprecedented.
This news has come as quite a shock
To those he represented.

The Pope before him to step down,
From info I could glean,
Was Gregory XII, who left
In – yes! – 1415!

No wonder headlines blast this news,
For even laymen’s ears
Must hear how jolting this must seem – 
It’s been six hundred years!

The Church will locate someone new
By searching ‘round the globe;
And surely they will find the man
Deserving of that robe.

Yet even though his subjects bow
And kiss his Papal ring,
I think that being Pope must be
The world’s most stressful thing.

The problems in the Papacy
With which a Pope must cope,
Seem so colossal, candidates,
When asked, should just say “Nope!”

On the Holiday Throne

On the Holiday throne

This miserable old fat man
should step down and bow out
As he forgot what image he represents
 Throw him out in the waste can
As his attitude is not what it's all about.
 
When representing The jolly old man
and the love and compassion he shares
.It takes an open mind and tender heart.
As Santa has a loving and kind reputation.
Children wait all year long to sit in his chair.
 
No child should ever be shunned or rejected
Especially by people thought to have authority .
Which Santa is someone kids look up to.
A moment of his time and smile in expected
by all wanting to believe in his legend and story  .
 
Santa himself has reindeer for his pets
.He loves and enjoys all living things
He does not judge from public opinions.
or jump to conclusions and have regrets.
As we know from the song the kids sing.
 
So if you plan to sit on the Holiday throne
Then think of the children you are going to greet
They have wide eyes and high hopes and trust
They are all different and may be alone
but want to be accepted by people they meet.-
