Ounce Of Hate
Miracle Man
11/3/2024

It takes an ounce of hate to ruin a person,
left unchecked, most always, we see it worsen.

Many that hate wonder where it got its start,
until hearing God’s whisper, it’s from the heart.

Hate isn't natural, but is something taught,
It’s things a child sees and hears, that causes fraught.

At early ages, children don't know

Premium MemberAn Ounce Of Sweet

Cinnamon dreams aren’t spun with sugar;
Far too spicy for an ounce of sweet,
they are swirled with a magical purr;

Hearing buttery speech you’ll infer 
it’s much more than a sumptuous treat;
Cinnamon dreams aren’t spun with sugar;

Not too much glut is what you prefer;
On this diet you’re able to cheat,
they are swirled with a magical purr;

Somewhat of

21 Gms Or Three Quarter of An Ounce

Just soul of 3 quarters of an ounce:
Exist in earthly body, 
Accomplish planned tasks,
Generate energy and leave;
Endure pain and joy,
During all my life;
Negative and positive both prevail, 
React to ambiance surrounding mine,
Life was full of joy and sorrow, 
Until I relinquished the body;
Caring friends and kins,
All accompanied up to burial,
Tears in eyes, gesturing bye; 
But

What I'D Like To Give You, Is An Ounce of My Perfume

What I'd Like To Give Is An Ounce Of My Perfume
By R. Henderson 

What I'd like to give you, is an ounce of my perfume..
Or so to speak..
An aroma like many others is what I shall bequeath.
The air stirs as it consumes all the space above and all beneath.
The enchantments allure called like a siren

Premium MemberWhat I'D Like To Give You Is An Ounce of My Perfume

fragrance of yesteryears distilled from heartache and joy

mixture of entropy and cohesion scented in hopeful aroma

	sweat from wanderlust of adventure

	tears from emotional advancement

	blood of hard work’s injuries over time

	fears contained and turned into vigour 

	petals ground into an effusion of love

a medley of rose-tinted lenses and reality’s patched spectacles

a truth serum of honesty kindness and

A Champions Retirement

His retirement the champion announced,
After he was in their fight trounced,
And like a tennis ball bounced…
On him had his challenger pounced,
His strength not letting him use an ounce,
And forcing him to hit the canvas, not once!

Soon, the press,
To painfully address,
And meekly renounce,
All that he did archly pronounce…
The cruelest punch finally goes to rest,
For being no

Salvation by the Ounce
David J Walker 

Gold must be the stuff
Of which  the Cup of Christ 
is made of

Its value supererogatory  
Its bearings veiled
It's content cryptic and obscure

Unknown to hunger 
The clean men
In white shirts 
are the anointed guides 
Meditating and navigating
By starlight

While the beggar's cup is empty 
Except for the noise of

Does wearing a mask make you ill?
Are you a social distancing hater?
Then imagine how you'd feel
Being put on a ventilator

An ounce,

Of compassion in practice,

Rates more than a ton of love

In theory, in God's eyes!

A cup of courage
Would not be enough
A gallon of courage?
Not even a start
We need a room full of courage
So we enlist our friends, relatives and church family
Because cancer takes every ounce of strength we have
