By-lanes of my mind

 By-lanes of my mind 

When I write, its verbose;  
When I don’t, I am short of words; 
Write with flair and respect, brevity is a gift; 
They remind me as my jargon filled words they dissect.
  
All this is internalised, 
The lips quiver, pen shakes in hands that shiver, 
Prove it, prove you’re not redundant,  
I don’t care, even though I know, 
I announce with a reluctance,  
Accusations of plagiarism, lack of character
Clash with inspirations and new ideas 
In the by-lanes of my mind. 

Be hard-working, be ambitious, be selfish,  
Go easy, nice &slow, be selfless & kind,  
Drop a ‘why’, before you’re like this,  
And watch a dance of doubts take place 
On a pile of now rotting, what was once innocent bliss 
In all of this, clarity I must find
In the by-lanes of my mind. 

Losing to a six-inch screen, 
What do you mean?  
What they think is an addiction,  
Started as an interest or just a connection,  
Last I remembered, they assigned a task,  
Quickly build something was their ask,  
Obscure, DIY, mundane
Genuine stuff that wears no mask
Not efficiency driven factory line production, 
Effervescent, slow burning, WIPs, one to one banter 
Through my perceived small screen addiction, 
I promote everyday connection. 

Ideas are trivial, 
Your words a bore, 
In exchange for truckloads of attention,  
That we unloaded upon your door,  
You must give more.  
You put the cart before the horse;  
In delivering this undeserved fame, is what I said;  
Now, a talent, an assembly line of heroics I must find;  
This is the thought racing through the by-lanes of my mind.


Premium Member Stop and Stare-

Stop and stare 
I want a pinch myself 
As I stop and stare 
The floral Gardens cascading Greenery 
Falling waterfalls 
everywhere 
I stop and stare 
This is  real
I stop and stare 
I stop and stare 
everyone that received it their sins 
Is here pose positioned
This I've envisioned 
Something about Paradise
Heaven all this I'm seeing 
Glorious View 
adorned 
I stop and stare 
in heaven 
I stop and stare
 God's everywhere

Premium Member My Symbolism Rock

Yon rock you represent me, once dust a mark or character used as a conventional representation of an object
No, do I worship thee
your function, or process, I admire so easily
rock is a sign
rock is a character
rock is a mark
rock a letter
Hieroglyph, a ideogram a thing that represents or stands for something else
especially a material object representing something so abstract
you’re a symbol of solidness
you’re a symbol a stone without a face
you’re like me a rock yet without a soul
rock my emblem
rock my token
rock my sign
representation rock figure my image
you’re a symbol of solidness
you’re a symbol a stone without a face
you’re like me a rock yet without a soul

Premium Member Beauty-

Death is beauty only when it’s physical and your –
Soul and spirit goes to heaven
Ugly is beauty causing you to recruiting
Beauty is just a name
For the selfish
And the immune
Beauty is beheld
And I shall not behold
~
Beauty is the newborn winkled baby
Beauty is newfound land you enable
Beauty is Lucifer Satan
For you see he was one of the most…
Beautifulness of all thee angels
~
Beauty is just a name, for the selfish
And unrighteous
To keep down the plain, normal, and quiet
For the selfish as immune
Beauty is beheld and behold
Beauty only beauty when it comes from within then goes out
When you know this then you can shout

Premium Member Sneeze-

Sneeze, I am allergist to stupid
You come to me unproven
And yet you ahh-choo
And you laugh and boo-whoo

Whom am you, and what am I
And why do your goose bumps swell and rise
I am allergist to chitter-chatter
And why does it even matter

I come and sneeze
Must be the wind, the grasses the trees
So when I sneeze
Must be allergic to ever living matter

What does it matter?
When I’m asleep in my bed
There’s a voice in my head sneeze…
And it says …
Ahh choo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Premium Member The Phone Rings At 3 a M At the Doorly Zoo- -

At the Doorly Zoo a well-trained guerrilla waves
It’s 3:00 am
Gorilla flung his manure like a combat soldier in guerrilla warfare
No one but the ground keepers are there, MAN DOES IT SMELL

The phone rings at 3:00 am
Do you know where the monkeys are?
In the trees most of them upside down asleep

Emerald eyes shines as the screeching bats 
Float, flutter, and fly in their habitat
Swoosh-----

The phone yet rings as 3:00 am
"At the Pavilion as the phone yet still rings at 3 a.m." 
Some careless butterflies escape their exhibits
A few gotten eaten by night flown bats

What a traffic jam as the fish parade tween their glass petition
Punch adolescence gophers and ground hogs race for territory environment
While in the oval pit, circles the wild bobcat

It’s yet early, early morning at the Doorly Zoo
What are the animals gonna do 
You see it be a wrong number…

A the pavilion as the phone yet still rings at 3:00 am
This wrong number person just keeps calling, calling…
Must be an emergency or something
See it be a wrong number…

"At the Pavilion as the phone yet still rings at 3 a.m."

Premium Member Wishful Thinking- -

wishful thinking
I wish I could be forgiven
by all those whom hate me

wishful thinking
wish I could live forever 
having full assurance, now

wish I could write and sing
Now and later on
my only job in heaven
this place I wanna go

To write those songs/Psalms 
I've already and will write on
Sing them to my co-creator
Sing praises to my Lord, MY GOD

Wishful thinking
tho! I no not what the future holds
I do know I acknowledge Him now
While the blood runs flow warm and red

Wishful thinking
I just a saved sinner
praying for a new beginning

wish I could write and sing
Now and later on
my only job in heaven
this place I wanna go

Wishful thinking no longer need for food nor drink
no need for the sun nor the moon
Because of Gods  Mercies forgiven Grace
Shines in brilliants... 
this prayer to the Lord my God is now

Father could I stand before thee now
If I could have just one job
is to write and sing Hallelujah Songs

thinking wishful
Wishful thinking

so while I'm yet here alive on top of this ole world
I just want to encourage any and everyone now with our verse

Father could I stand before thee now
If I could have just one job
is to write and sing Hallelujah Songs
thinking wishful
Wishful thinking

1733 INSURRECTION ON- St John

Lament Danish West Indies
Bring yon, those terrible humans
Who’s to say that there’re of humanity?
Amidst this day of 1733

Akwamu islands
Home of no proper human
Rebellion
Run darken skin one

Revolting as it may
Ghana Danish West Indies
Capture, imprison and enslave, them
Place the shackles of endearment
Enslave them
Rebellion
Hunt them down
Maroon them
Work, enslave them all
Shoot them
Less than animals, 1/3 human
Work, them
Hurt them
Slave labor
It’s the only behavior
Hunt them
Work them
Slave labor
Danes ordain
Slave trade, in 18th century
Fond memories fade
Africans names changed
To match their masters
Last name solely
Mainly call “boy” or whatever
Enslave them
Rebellion
Hunt them down
Maroon them
Work, enslave them all
Shoot them
Less than animals, 1/3 human
Homeland Akwamu’s had been nobles
Wealthy merchants
Powerful members of heir society
Insurrection
DE throne, DE mane, and placed under slave control
Plant the crops

Sugar and other such
Tobacco, corn, squash
It’s the only behavior
Work them all
Or kill them so…
Less than animals, 1/3 human
Work, them
Hurt them
Slave labor
It’s the only behavior
Hunt them
Work them
Slave labor
Danes ordain
Slave trade, in 18th century
Fond memories fade

Premium Member Forgiveness- -

FORGIVENESS- - is never complete
Unless you actually say the words
____________________(fill in the blanks-your name)
Please forgive me and that I am sorry
Must mean it from your heart;
Must hear if from your voice;
Must be of free will and choice;
Must acknowledge and resist the power of non forgiveness

FORGIVENESS- -
Release yourself forgive, long, hard and sincere 
Forgive all those...
That has done you harm and wrong
This is a time when someone forgave me
I look you in the eyes, as I’m breathing I shall not lie
I say the words “I am SORRY”
And I didn’t say it in a hurry

FORGIVENESS- -
Now my forgiveness is complete
Spoken out my spirit, soul, chest and mouth
And all that I have left, tender verses of regrets
Please forgive me and that I am sorry
Must mean it from your heart;
Must hear it from your voice;
Must be of free will and choice;
Must acknowledge and resist the power of non forgiveness

FORGIVENESS- -
Release yourself forgive, long, hard and sincere 
Forgive all those
That has done you harm and wrong
This is a time that I choose to forgive you TO BE ALSO MYSELF TO BE
FORGIVEN
