'Frisco to Atlanta, D.C. back to L.A.
Chaos running wild in the Land of the Free
Fighting for the right of frustration and greed
We're holding court in the streets
We had to make ad hoc law for the Nazi German freaks
Now just apply the laws to all those confused by geeks
Peace cries out through the masses and their fears
Lighting the fuse of anarchy, ostracizing all that appears
It's a freedom of all amended rights
Closing our eyes to the other side
Saluting the red, white and blues
(I must ask the relativist concerning rules, who's?)
Like Superman and kryptonite and a telephone booth
We've lost sight of (Pilate asks) what is truth

November 22 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Acts 27-28
Key Verse – Acts 27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR CHEERING US
WITH HIS GOODNESS
Praise be to God for cheering us with His goodness despite:
Oppositions opening ridicules
Opponents offering reproaches
Oppressions optimizing their restraints
Objections ostracizing us in their rebukes
Outcomes overwhelming us with reproofs
Acts 28:15 Praise be to the Lord for
giving us courage so we can:
Achieve with commitment by His graciousness
Accept challenges through His goodness
Act along character of gratefulness
Avoid carnality that is grievous
Accomplish for Christ’s glory
Acts 28:38 Praise be to the Saviour for
allowing us to preach His kingdom while:
Trusting His timeliness
Teaching about His truth
Toiling midst tests and trials
Testifying along His trustworthiness
Treading upon His turf and tarrying in His temple. Amen!

Birds scrubbing the winter's time,
Traded in the cold for so long,
As the first rhythm of spring makes the rain—
They sing in as they drop ostracizing muck.
Traded in the cold for so long,
By the dark synthesis of my soul
They sing in as they drop ostracizing muck—
Their wings feverish as flower bulbs.
By the dark synthesis of my soul,
As the first rhythm of spring makes the rain,
Their wings feverish as flower bulbs—
Birds scrubbing the winter's time.

In some versions they are masked with glory
In other versions their task is yet
But still, they leave, some with coats of honour
Some with crowns of ashes
Questions unanswered and stories untold
The sting of their absence licking on the presence of their past
The abysmal depth of their silence ostracizing emotions of those left behind from basic reality
Demons smiling, angels on duty
Heavens shaking, earth succumbing
The stage is a metaphor,
Crowded with symbols
Left by those who will never speak
Still they keep leaving, in the most abrupt demeanour
Some with a forewarned salute, some with mystery
Either way, the pain is excrutiating
Trumpets are blowing
There is commotion in the earthly courts
Waters are meandering with destinies and changing courses
Tears are waterfalls.
Sobs and confusions interlock in the weaving of sanity
No one here is exceptional.
This one is no man's game,
This wave moves like rooks with lurking eyes and a ghostly hunger.
No time to say goodbye
The world is weeping
Heavens please,
Forgive us

Hester felt like she deserved it, so she did not say a word.
Wearing the scarlet letter for the town to see,
She walked with her baby through people and their prejudices.
Superstitions wafted in the evening wind in Boston that night.
She was a social outcast, even though the father had escaped.
No one was pointing him out or ostracizing him.
Hester understood; shame was a woman’s cross to bear.
She began sewing for others and felt fortunate when they paid her.
The townspeople referred to Pearl as the demon child.
It was not her fault she was born on the wrong side of the blanket.
Hester wished they would have harbored all ill will toward her
And left her innocent daughter alone, but it was not meant to be
The meteor that traced an A in the sky gave her a glimmer of hope
That Pearl’s origin would not be held against her.
Hester held onto this hope and wish.
Loving her child with the rest of her strength.

Discouraging others
Expecting instant respect
Fingering a bad guy
Imagining worst scenario
Negating someone’s accomplishments
Irritating people in a mean way
Tasting caviar
Eating slimy oysters
Laughing at a person’s misfortune
Yelling about people I have never met
Needling a nefarious never-do-well-er
Ostracizing an ostrich
Tackling a Tiger

(upon inspection of varicose veins)
Above and below married
Micro-cosmically, not as Hermetically sealed
As previously thought.
Something very physical reveals itself
In the hue of everything spiritual,
Connects outside with inside,
Branching outward, eternally grounded,
Charged with the memory of the throbbing core;
The vain pulse of plasma
Ostracizing the sun.
The outward branching, leafless as slumbering trees,
Remember the warm center
As they gaze into the light of a frozen world.

Sometimes you cry
For the whole world
Few hearts create pearls
Gloomy eyes will glow
A storm rages in your chest
Filled with violent reactions
Judge a man by his actions
Instead of ostracizing him...
Based on his appearance
The world drowns in sorrow
With no sight on tomorrow
We'll burn up in regret

Feminism,
Neo-Marxism,
Catastrophic cultural schism,
Rallying against the "patriarchy",
Waging social war by tweeting,
Against superficial enemies of the ideology,
Submission through guilt and gender supremacy power,
Cracking down the whip to make challenger's cower,
Upheaving the meritocratic system to rule in ivory towers,
A pathogenic social construct toppling modern liberty in Western society,
Collecting mugs of discontent using male tears to shower,
Ruining husband's lives then demanding child support dower,
Ostracizing traditional gender roles and wedding vowers,
Endless rhetoric regurgitated fueling the dichotomy,
Opposers pay sanctioned blood apology,
New recruits sacrifice liberty,
Hell-bound progressivism,
Neo-socialism,
Feminism.

Do words hurt?
To be belittled,
talked down to,
dehumanized,
rejected of your very life.
To be objectified,
demeaned,
robbed of your mind
and spirit,
robbed of your individuality;
your very heart itself.
Do words hurt?
Or are they illusions?
Is equality a dream?
Do you notice it at all?
Walking day to day,
from place to place,
seeing the masses.
Do you feel their struggle?
Do you take the time to care?
To wonder if their lives are really equal,
like yours?
Do you dream in apathy?
Or are you awake in denial?
Do words hurt?
When used to steal.
Do words hurt?
When attacking,
when targeting,
when ostracizing,
humiliating;
or criticizing?
Do you have feelings too?
How would you feel?
If I talked down to you;
...in condescension?

Why are some people always upfront or in the spotlight
all the time?
refusing to shrivel up like shrinking violets do,
Could it be because some people are blessed with a little
more star quality making others reel with jealousy?
Inquiring minds ask themselves
these questions all the time,
when they don't get the right answers they take it upon
themselves to nix the fame and glory of others,
simply because their persona annoys and bothers,
using their foul tactics and bad behaviour to reduce
the objects of their curiosity to shrinking violets,
treating them less than pets,
Ignoring and ostracizing them any way they can,
hoping to "shoo" them away with the wave of their
hands,
How can people develop contempt for lives they know
nothing about?
Demoralizing their lives so it appears less than grout,
Just because THEY are afraid to Stand up, Show up and Speak Out!

Raise your child very carefully
otherwise your child could get damaged psychologically like me.
I could have attended any college university.
I could have had numerous Associate and Bachelor degrees,
but as previously stated, I'm damaged psychologically.
I've put a barrier between standard higher learning and me,
all because my child and teenage years in school
were spent in an environment so very cruel.
Nervously twitching standing in front of my class,
praying to answer correctly or appear like an ass.
I never was one who ever truly did fit in
and became another victim of ostracizing.
School yard bullies also had their share of fun,
making me curse the day I was born.
so when school finally ended, school was over officially for me.
No college university, no degrees for me.
Ever since my long ago school days of gloom
I've never felt comfortable in a classroom.

I was, am,
be, being,
And been
Ostracized.
Many have
Allowed Satan
To use them
As vehicles
To do me harm.
But I'm glad
To say today
And all days
And ways
I was, am,
be, being,
And been
Protected
By ths shed
blood of the
Precious Lamb
Of God.
What has
Happened
And what
god has done,
doing, and do
For me
He'll do, is doing,
Has done
The same.
You will to be
ostracized
and look defeated
in some eyes
but the truth
beyond those
Lies is the love
of God that
Only true
Believers realize.
So fakers keep
Ostracizing
My Father is
Creating a huge
Blessing to
Give me in front
Of You
And to stop
It. There's
Nothing you
Can do.
God's hands
Are more powerful
Than any atomic
Bomb created by man
Do you understand?
God don't play
About His children.
He wants to bless
Us with more than
Millions in the face
Of the famined world.
As the big world twirls,
I scream and shout
Victory for all of
God's children
Including me
And pray hard
For those
Who are
ostracizing me.
I was, am,
be, being,
And been
Ostracized.
I without
Doubt that
I'll be a victor
Coming out.
Like garbage in
Garbage out,
Ostracized in
Victorious out.

The world needs a healing from bigotry and bad feelings,
The fear of Nine Eleven in the air, has spread racism
everywhere,
It is not about buildings or religions,
It's about people making ostracizing decisions,
gaining enablers along the way,
affirming it is okay for hate to have a field day,
The world needs a healing
from the caustic feelings
of prejudice towards different
religious groups,
Races and ethnicities,
We need to remember that foreigners
are builders in the countries they inhabit,
We need to be more civilized,
instead of irate and "crabit",
Hate will only make the younger
generation sicker than having
the croup,
It will be every parent's nightmare if they fall
out of the loop,
It all starts at home
with the negative
comments that parents make,
The world needs to be healed
for betterments sake.

Trepidation although is apprehension
Rankle causes much irritation.
Enmity what a deepseated hatred
Meretricious always vulgar when stated.
Embroil involves a hostile reaction
Nemesis our inflicter of exaction.
Denial is often refusal to grant the truth
Obloquay utterances of discredited ill repute.
Ululation allows lamenting loudly
Salutations express good will proudly.
Tremulous leaves one timid and fearful
Ideology aspires our cultures tenfold.
Dread is a profound fear and terror
Ardor is a passionate zeal we conjour.
Literacy's our strongest armor from birth
Ostracizing accomplishes nothing on earth.
Fallible teaches were all capable of erring
Tenuous at best foster's very little for sharing.
Obstinately stubbornly adhering to the course
Resurrecting our voiceless thoughts of remorse.
Tenacity well preserved, lends one true to themself
Unequivocal doubts of blatant misunderstanding oneself.
Rigidity prevents us from participating in life
Empowerment allows passage to surrender our strife.
