I lost hope; I broke down;
Who was there to save me then?
I looked awkward in that gown;
Yours was a wolves’ dire den.
So many years rolled away;
Still, your scary scorn
Blurs my world even today;
I need a new morn.
“Be it for a penny or be it for a dime,
You can never, never stand
On your own feet, regardless of time;
You’re born to digest reprimand.”
I was bullied; I was stung;
They tried to turn me to stone;
I kept on; I had clung
To the truth in polite tone.
Finally, the results got declared;
They came to know my work in silence;
A few got scared, the others just flared;
I was awarded for my diligence.
I need to know
if you have seen
or heard anything from me
or about me
that would cause you to hesitate
to hire me full-time
for the next sex worker
and spiritual director
and financial co-investor
position
Opening up
on your personal
and political empowerment team.
I would also like to know
if you have seen and heard,
tasted and smelled,
felt and touched
anything positive
compelling
engaging about me
That would discourage you
from firing me
from my current part-time position
enabling your fears of losing me
to some better
bigger
more powerful,
possibly even somewhat more enlightened
and less angry,
narcissist.
Cover my shame
You can’t shame the shameless
Cos he got no worth no more to hold on
He feels he is good enough to be
Just empty
He got no Hope and nothing to Hope for
He lost all he worth and deserves
To his masters
Who he must always abides
To his rules
He got no say nor rights
All he does is just live for the moment
And obey orders
Their is no justification worthy for the shameless
Cos he got no dignity
His life must be hard yet he don’t care
He don’t even see it
He enjoys his suffering and smile like the happiest in front of the world
He could be your entertainer
He could be your friend
He could be your worker
He could be your brother
He could be your father
Nothing moves him any more
He has seen it all
Felt it all but
He is stuck yet don’t know
He is in captive yet don’t care
I once asked him why he never cares
he replied with a deep smile
I have nothing to lose
I have nothing to gain
But I have a life to live
And all you see is what I got.
“You are not yet fifty years old,” the Jews said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”
“I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am!” At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
John 8:57-59 NIV
IS HE A MADMAN
You say he is a prophet,
or is he a madman?
He claims to be God -
they knew what “I am,” meant.
Great claims, great God,
who walked in our midst,
but for such a short time.
He came to do His Father’s will,
He, in the flesh, the Son,
and then He left,
but not without leaving us
the third part of the Trinity,
the Holy Spirit.
You say he is a prophet,
or is He a madman?
His claims were high.
He was not a learned man,
being from a poor family.
Yet, everyone claims His name
either with blessing
or curses. On the tongue,
each man holds the name of Jesus Christ.
This “mere man,” the mannah from heaven
with miracles and lofty sayings.
If He had been a madman,
he would have been with the likes
of those who satisfied their lust
one way or another. This man
went to the cross with stripes
too hard for any other man to bear.
He never showed Himself to take advantage
but rather gave Himself wholly to His task.
Was He just a prophet? Weighed against the likes
of the rest, He stood above them all.
Jesus Christ is many things - Savior, Lord, the Way,
the Truth, the Life, Miracle Worker, great Teacher,
“I Am,” but a madman, that is crazy.
Awaken to the truth. God walked amongst His creation.
As Abba Father, God was always reigning in the heavenlies, yet the mystery of His flesh (and His spirit) that was to come, indeed did come, and will come again. Be watchful, vigilant, walk in the way of truth and light. Sin’s payoff is hell. Mercy and Grace has visited us, spurs us on in sanctification, after you commit yourself to Him.
He suffered, died, was buried, and rose again. He rose up into the clouds and promised to return. His return is imminent. Are you living, for Jesus Christ, today? He promises - we hope, not as in a wish but in knowing and believing.

Mystic's Quote: When we are governed by eternal hope all our lives,
the soul is a frontline worker for the good:
Never ignore the gentle nudge of a sensitive soul
it contains no other agenda but to make you whole
Clever as a twinkling star in the night sky
it will serve you lovingly without asking you why
In a world of noise and discontent, doubt & frustration
the soul is your guide and it doesn't need an invitation;
Forever on your side it will bring you to truth
and help you discover purpose, like a sleuth
When you are guided by the part of you that is soul
you will always be brave, as you attain your goal.
The estate of my spreading life
has been plowed over many times.
Plantations have withered and been replanted,
grain fields have turned to dust,
have laid fallow for years
yet now the corn is high and golden again,
trees felled and burnt now grow tall.
Mind body and spirit maps
have had to be redrawn,
shorelines and boundaries moved.
However now I can walk my mind back into past times
and circle all the seasons of my existence
at once.
Barn doors are wide open to tomorrow lands,
My earth is still rich and good,
my store runneth over.
I am not the master here, just a worker following
a tilling, plowing, and seeding Owner;
I am charged only to oversee
this landscape of me.
When this soil I have worked
at last is blown away on the winds of time
a plantation of plenty
will be reflected in the mirror of eternity,
and I will be a servant of my most High Self
at home once more in my Master's mansion.
Dear Heart.
Sometimes you get attacked and keep on ticking.
At times, you take abuse and keep on kicking.
Sometimes we eat wrongly and never seem to learn.
This often causes you to get sick with heartburn.
Sometimes diseases develop and cause you to stall.
Without you, mortals would have no life at all.
Some time ago, I learned that for most of us, between
60 and 100 beats per minute were normal. Nearly 8 years ago,
my heartbeats were irregular and my heart rate was under 40bpm.
A pacemaker was installed inside my chest to assist you in
keeping me alive.
Since that procedure, you have enabled me to thrive.
I am learning to relax and decrease stress. I am learning
to take naps and get more rest. I am sure that you work harder
than a worker bee. Today, I just wanted to take the time to say
Thank you, Heart, for working so hard for me.

Blessed is the lamb led to the slaughter
-Eager smiles, cold visage
-I give truth to your mirage
-You have a golden ticket
-You have a chance to make your way
-A windowless room, I leave you there to pray
Worker ant is disposable
-The doors are fastened shut
-A lock you'll never cut
-The queen reeks of profit margins
-The triangle is ablaze
-Your endless numbered days
Surrender your huddled masses yearning to breathe free
-Give me your tired
-Perishable by fire
-Illiterates can’t read the fine print
-Give me your poor
-too dead to keep score
And I will pretend
The queen who is my friend
Had no idea why the front doors were locked
And the room had no windows
And I will defend
To uncertain ends
There but for the grace of God goes Me
In empathy for the worker, and the queen

The city of New York wants to reduce the security guards at their agencies
Penny wise and pound foolish is what they’re coming to be
To try and save less than .05% in a budget that’s in the billions
To put a wrench in the safety and well-being of a city of 10 million
If’s there’re no security officers to watch over the DEP water sheds
What’s to stop terrorists from poisoning the water and thousands being dead?
If there’re no security officers at the DHS shelters
the situation could be dire
As you won’t have enough personnel on hand
to warn the clients when there’s a fire
If there’re no security officers at the Human Resources Administration sites
Who would be there to protect the workforce in the event of a fight?
Penny wise and pound foolish when it comes
to our children’s safety and well being
If there’s no one to adequately clean the schools
a major outbreak we might be seeing
Penny wise and pound foolish in regards to the City’s financial resource
Trying to save a few pennies while pounds of dollars
will be in litigation in the courts
If someone is hurt in a fall it’s the city they will sue
If someone dies in a fire it’s the city they will sue
If a worker is assaulted on the job it’s the city they will sue
So I ask New York City leaders, what are you going to do?
Penny wise and pound foolish when it comes to New Yorker’s safety
It’s time to stop all this nonsense and keep the school cleaners and security
Do you like small church?
I do
Sing the old hymns in the book
Congregate with a small group of people
Everyone knows your name
I found I like that
For a longest time I did not go to church
after my pastor died
I just felt like I hadn’t found a church yet
until a co-worker told me about a dinner
she had at a church
That got my curiosity up
And suddenly I want to go to church
You think that’s a coincidence?
No - God plans it and directs it
Remember “ A person’s steps are directed by the Lord…”(Proverbs 20:24)
I feel so blessed today singing those hymns
and listen to the words of the preacher
My pastor Donna
I tell you if you haven’t plugged in
take a moment to find out what you want
Do you want to go to church?
What are your reasons to go to church?
To be connected to someone? Other people?
God?
To learn more about God - His teachings?
Whatever your reasons
God will help you through and sort out
and lead out
and put you where you need to be
God is the Fulfiller of wishes
So wish, okay?
The subject today was the Trinity
as it is Trinity Sunday
God - the Father
God - the Son Jesus
God - the Holy Spirit
Did you know that?
I sure didn’t
Thought there are three individuals
That’s why we should go to church
That’s one of the reasons
- to learn something new
Did I talk too much already? Lol
