This morn I woke before the sun
The sky was dark and menacing
Just like the man who yesterday
Shooting his gun indiscriminately
Those innocent lives he took away
A massacre after a bright sunny day
Mass killings are now three hundred and seven
Of innocent souls who are now in heaven
In days now totaling three hundred and eleven
These evil creatures instigating Armageddon
There is nothing I can really say
but wish they’d take those guns away
On this deeply sad, traumatic day
My thoughts are in the USA
I send my love and hope and pray
that you will all keep safe today

Many of you will probably say that I have a lot of nerve,
but Rodney King in my opinion didn't get what he deserved.
What Rodney King deserved was another beating
not a money award totaling millions.
When he finally was stopped, with the police he did not cooperate.
Have we forgotten that he was involved in a high speed chase?
Would you have as much sympathy for him
had he run down one of your children?
His passengers cooperated with the police in every way
and not one of them were harmed in any way,
but not Rodney King. He acted irate
and that's when the so called police brutality took place.
The police then beat the ugly right off the face of Rodney
and now he's never looked better from what I can see
since he's now enhanced his appearance with corrective surgery.
If you ask me,
police brutality
was the best thing that ever happened to ugly Rodney.
Father now journeys

Distress unavoidable which mortality doth bring
nevertheless, tis impossible mission

Sugar is so sweet!
Pale light shines through the liquid
Sweet as it can be!
Transcription of messages here we go
All that we can see and all that we know
Gazing at objects all both near and far
Comets, planets, all orbiting a star
Answers, questions, and all that we can say
Totaling quite a huge number today
Can we?, Can’t we?, it remains to be seen
Gone past and future, and all in between
Granite, marble, hard things are all around
Coins, silver, copper, if they can be found
Talking, yelling, to say it all out loud
Ascending up from the ground to the cloud
Adding, subtracting, what’s the total here?
Tallying all that we both love and fear
Girls and boys, men and women, young and old
Can they behave? Can they do what they’re told
Co-inhabiting, poverty and wealth
Growing in illness, as well as in health
Tempest, all the works by William Shakespeare
All’s well that ends well; I think we’ll stop here
Sugar is so sweet!
Pale light shines through the liquid
Sweet as it can be!
The building blocks of all living matter

traditions start somewhere
doing things for a reason is
often the right thing
to do
looking toward
our goales
budgeting our endeavor
profiting

.........no longer free
to laugh in the sun
play in the river,
or dream upon the stars
hardship is all you know..........
I see you looking back at me behind seeing eyes, you wonder
if I hear you; though history only gave you one page to look into my soul.
I feel your thoughts.........your blanket, wrapped tightly,
shields you from the evening chill, as fall approaches,
your friends and family sick, tired, starving and hurried
by countless attacks from various Tribes of the Sioux Nation
.........as you struggle towards Mankato.
I dreamed........
I shared your laughter
splashed water at you
and found our lucky star
now, the page has turned,
where are you............
*Tribute to the brave citizens of New Ulm, Minnesota, who successfully repelled,
with help from assorted small militias, a determined attack led by Chiefs Mankato,
Wabasha and Big Eagle and their braves totaling about 650 warriors...they were outnumbered
3/1. After the battle, the townsfolk fled to (present day) Mankato.
Battered bricks in broken streets of chaos and destruction
All that's left is billowing smoke from bomb blasted buildings
The sky is a different color now, the smell is of death
My team huddled against these ramshackle walls, holding our breath
Knowing we're all in marked territory within the enemies den
The Enemy, not even sure if that's them for it may be us
But no matter we are just carrying out our orders...For what?
To impose our philosophies and way of life, is that even right?
So many thoughts we shouldn't think for it's our job to just fight
Footsteps echo as they pound the pavement, scoping up right then left
One, two, three, the count of the enemy trigger finger sets
Safety off moving silently into shooting position, breathe in
All targets backs are a clear shot, remember these are bad men
Sweat frozen on hot sweaty cheeks as cold ice fills my veins
Tap, tap, tap three more rebels deceased totaling 10 for the day
Bile fills my throat then erupts out of my mouth, death is its taste
A sudden chill the feeling of being watched from somewhere somehow
Knowing just seconds before the bullet enters and splatters my brain
Just another marked man in this territory where we all die the same

Do you have a dream or an ambition
that one day you hope to achieve or do
then I have great news for you
if you turn to God and tell him exactly how you feel
he can take your dreams and ambitions and make them real
our hopes and dreams don't just have to stay in our hearts or in our mind
for it's in God that all our hopes, dreams and ambitions we can find
if you believe it in your heart and know that it's true
God can make all the impossible become possible for you
even if your faith is as small as a seed
God can make all those hopes and dreams succeed
God made all my hopes and dreams come true
and he can also make all the impossible things possible for you.
to all you wonderful poetry soupers everywhere
this great news I just had to share.
my son is going on a D. T. I. ( dream the impossible) trip with his youth group in may
and God made the trip possible How?
well here in UK, with sainsburys if they come late with your shopping they give you a ten
pounds
voucher
off the next shop you do on line, well on Tuesday mine was late so they gave me ten pounds
that evening I spoke with the youth leader about sorting a tent out for my son if I sorted the
finances out for him to go, he said yes sure they will be able to get a tent share
well on Wednesday morning I had a bank credit of sixty pounds, I wasn't due my wages yet
or anything, the money was in my bank it was something to do with a cold weather
payment
so this now totals seventy pounds, the weekend trip is 55 pounds and the bus from church is
additional ten pounds totaling 65 pounds now that's GODS' GRACE thanks to God my son will
be going of on his trip to dream the impossible. Amen.
The world's population has toppled seven billion and
Many are dying each day, but more are being born.
There is a number totaling from beginning till now, and
Whatever that number is, it also carries a load of debt.
It is a debt because every human being has committed sin,
And sin had a humongous price tag which had to be paid.
The wages of sin is eternal death and none was able to pay
Such a price covering the wages of such vast numbers of people.
The estimated number of people ever born is 108,470,690,115.*
Since it was impossible for any creature to pay, God granted a gift.
Out of pure undeserving love, God gave the gift of his son whose death
Remedied the problem of sin for all people of all time and all eternity.
Most things that sound too good to be true are really not true, but in this case it is absolutely too good to be true. Nevertheless, without question, without, strings, it is absolutely true**
