The 70s Kids

We are the crying children of the 70’s,
 not much changes inside ‘other than knowing better now ,what undoubtedly would have been the keys to the kingdom back then .

We are the innocent generation of comic trusting gullibility ‘the worry of our world and blame For its care or lack of ‘now placed firmly upon us .

We are the children of an era where life ‘as a fact was better and way more safe in the groove that we knew as the 70’s.

We are the trapped children sentenced to incarceration? in adult bodies, 
no one speaks of our future anymore, only that of the up and coming millennials who flee willingly to adulthood ‘only to find out to late their folly .

We are the crying children of the 70’S ?


Premium Member Floating

"We have no wings, yet we can float in the blue either on a swing or on imginary wings sensing the undulations of air"~ By Poet


With the peak of spring in the month of May
In the early hours of a pleasantly sunlit day
Two kids merrily sat cuddled on a swing,
Feeling as though they were buoyant on wing.

Floating in the air, they began to sing.
Their sweet lay breaking the silence with its ring
They kicked the air with their legs in rising delight
And felt like thistle downs ever so light.

Going up and coming down on the swing was fun
They closed their eyes on being face to face with the sun
They felt the swish and sway of the tranquilizing air,
And knew the light tug of breeze on their hair

As the air got caught in the frills of their frock
Their eyes gleamed bright in delightful spark
They imagined themselves to be astronauts in space
And an ebullient excitement lit up their face

From a raised angle, they saw the Earth in green folds lie
They watched the surrounding hills standing awfully high
They saw a small stream flowing as a slow moving train
And the trees lined up on its banks in unbroken chain

Longingly I watched these children free of all worry and pain
Also their aerial feats not tainted by any melancholy stain
How I miss these childhood days of innocent fun
And my thoughts float to those times when my days to sunset quickly run

Premium Member Love In the Title

I've learned the secret of writing poetry
Everyone likes reading about love
As long as the word 'love' is in the title
It makes everyone's heart start to buzz

An age old emotion that hard to control
When struck, to succumb is a given
So easy to fall, so hard to ignore
To that age old desire we're driven

So my advice to you up and coming poets
Put love in the title of each poem
Even if the poem's about eating spaghetti
A shameless act of self promotion

Just pretend you didn't hear it from me
Not sure any studies have been made
But trust me, use the word love in the title
And you'll have it made in the shade

Yet I Still Smile

The light is flashing before my eyes
The tunnel of life seems forever
Yet a little of positive things
WE go but so far, yet we go far
We have more then what we need
Yet the flashing lights is never enough 
A helping hand is hard to touch, to touch
In this world, I must keep going
Keeping my head up, hoping not to fall
Down in this world
They say you living to fast, I say I'm only
Trying to get where I'm going
Thoughts
Crying 
Whispers
Kind of hard finding help in the world

One chapters is read and life goes on
I am who I am the past has make me strong
Them days was hard but that faith was tough
Some pages wasn't looked at, some chapters
Wasn't never read
Judge not me, this man of prospering dreams
My bones craved for negativity but don't we all
Fight for a change

His breath was cold as ice
The life of dreams
To become the up and coming
He was never that type of man
Days of struggling he accepted that type of man
No dreams, no visions, just that type of man
This view is one of something beautiful to the eye
What the eye see is a picture of peace, the mind is at peace
My days of time, time of shining to the world I dreamed of
Days like this
I wished he seen the things I seen, or felt the things I felt
TO feel like this, he's days might have been hopes and dreams
So I fight to stay into that flashing light, read that chapter
You missed, I finally got by, the world is beauty in my eyes

Premium Member Psalm of Praise

Oh! Sing! Sing! A Psalm of Praise early in the morning when you
first arise.  When the morning's sunlight's first opens up your eyes.
Oh! Give thanks to be to God the creator of heaven and earth.
Who knit you together in your mother's womb before she gave birth.

Who has numbered the very hairs of your head. Jesus Christ, was there when you are born, and will be there after you are dead.  Where oh where will your spirit journey on its way to its eternal destiny?  The choice is left up entirely upon you.  Which roadway are you going to choose? Broad is the way which leads to destruction.  And narrow is the pathway leading to everlasting life.

And very few are they which manage to find it.  Most people freely live their own lives by going their own way.  Living life as if there is no tomorrow with all of its pains and sorrows.  Men and women who forget to pray will call upon the mountains and rocks to hide them from the wrath of the Lamb of God!  Those people will wait until tomorrow comes, after the rapture of the Church.

And the Messiah has already come! Why not sing praises to Jesus Christ! accepting his freely pardonable gift of everlasting life.  Before another twenty-four hours of both day and night has come.  With the rising and setting of the morning and evening sun.  Each and every day only draws much closer to the return of God's only begotten Son!  Why wait until the up and coming  tribulation?  It will come to try and test those who rejected Jesus Christ.

Why not sing God's praises today during the remainder of the age of grace?  The clock of humanity's remainder time is exactly at ll.59 one minute before midnight.  Scoffers of every past, present, and future generation only laugh and say, "where is the sign of his coming?"  Since their forefathers fell asleep wasting all their time counting sheep when they could not sleep.  This lost generation is following in their footsteps.

Love in Christ Jesus!

Premium Member Haibun Heaven or Hell

 At early dawn, me lying supine on my non - mowed lawn in happy mood.
  I am relaxing under bright Sun and  clean clear cerulean sky enjoying
  morning beauty of environ. Cheerful sparrows and sterlings to chirp
  and prance. Morning dews are glistening on wild glass blades. Swift 
  squirrel is climbing up and coming down.  Slow snail is crawling silent with 
  single foot. In gentle breeze, tiny feral flowers are nodding heads in fun.         

    Everything is running smooth and fine in fresh morning.
   Fluttering wings flying butterflies are visiting blossoms. Cute kittens are
   playing joyfully at a corner. I am sensing serene sublime ecstatic state.
    Suddenly a grass hopper settles on tip of grass. A prompt chameleon 
    doesn’t miss the chance to attack and swallows up. My heavenly bliss at 
    once turns in melancholy sinking in hell.
   

    nature acts ruthless ~
      prey and predator to run
           simultaneous.

No retreat No surrender

No retreat no surrender 
They can’t take away my gift 
It is from God 
Even when I sin my grace cover my shadow
Why men can’t be fair to men 
Man to man is unjust 
I was told it never started in my time 
So I understand to move on is never an option but a way 
I Understand my reality so I go to work 
Day after day am hustling 
I need no excuse to feed my son 
I have been up and coming as always 
I will never give up the gift of God 
Through this hard times I knew that 
God never fails his own 
So I have no fear over my enemies 
They shall rise they shall fall 
Yet God gift will live to shine on my hands 
It is a destiny not a dream 




No retreat no surrender 
Some was born with a silver spoon 
But i was born with a gift from God 
I hold on to this gift 
I share them with the world 
Yes you are blessed to read me 
I have nothing to loss 
I have nothing to gain 
But I have a life to live 
I keep on saying this words cos 
I hold on to the gift of God 
It add no sorrows or agony 
Despite it attract enemies 
Who believes with life pressure 
And life circumstances I will give up 
In life some are born with a silver spoon
I was born with a gift from God 
Am sorry to disappoint my enemies 
Yes am sorry in this case there is 
No retreat no surrender

Premium Member You Are Braver Than You Believe

OH Let it all become known far and wide all over the cities, towns and country sides, "You are braver than you believe Stronger than you seem Smarter than you think & Loved more than you know."

Do you honestly consider yourselves to be actually brave? When merely getting out of bed in the morning is taking a risk? Those of you who boldly get inside your automobiles, and public transit are braver than you know. Why because you are entrusting your lives (and the lives of your passengers to complete strangers. it has become both acknowledged and claimed to be true.

Let's face our grocery store clerks do a really good job of bagging our grocery items. Sometimes they over load the bags and make them too heavy. However there are certain advantages to either being female, or senior citizens. When you instruct them to lighten your load, they do it. In certain stores the cart people wheel your grocery charts to your cars or trucks etc. You are stronger than you seem.

You are smarter than you think. So what if you have to count your numbers on your fingers and/or your toes? That doesn't mean that you aren't smart! You can add up and tally the columns of figures that way. Of course Smart phones may be able to perform mathematical functions.

 You may struggle with math, and yet excel in the American English Language. You may be able to compose a sentence and yet struggle with even simple spelling sometimes!   

And you are loved more than you know! We are instructed by the good book more commonly referred to as the Holy Bible. "To love our neighbors as we love our selves. And to also love one another as He first loved us." This is the greatest of the commandments!

"You are Braver than you believe
Stronger than you seem
Smarter than you think
& Loved more than you know."

Those words are sound advice and words to the wise. Following in their footsteps of those who have gone before us. And becoming pathfinders to the up and coming future generations.

Love in Christ Jesus!

Premium Member Changing Rooms

She wants to go out shopping, to find that perfect dress,
For the up and coming function, you know, the one she must impress. 
But sat outside her changing room which happens quite a lot,
I’m staring at my feet like I’m waiting to be shot.

So that got me thinking about the guys who must endure,
This embarrassing dilemma as they gaze upon the floor, 
That it would be rather splendid if the shop would just provide
A fifty inch tv screen with some beer upon the side.

I can imagine the astonishment, on match day, as we shout, 
‘Are we going shopping love?’ and she asks ‘what’s this about?’
‘Well the run up to the game means I have to get my spot,
So the guys are buying dresses or hadn’t you forgot?’
