The not so silent,
Frantics on the march.
Hovering over,
Waiting to pounce.
Because we forgot what life is all about.
Sending force full screams,
Too move people out.
Makes room for many more,
Who pay too land on our greener shores.
Not enough room?
Not enough work?
Not enough,
To share with everyone?
Who chooses,
Which will be the lucky ones?
Only the same,
As what we see.
Too much money,
Addicted to power.
Continues to look.
For people that are the same color.
Views their persecutions,
Are better than honey.
The bees don't agree,
Continue to die off.
At least they are free!

October 7 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Matthew 15-16
Key Verse – Matthew 15:32 Then Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude…
PRAISE BE TO GOD FOR HAVING COMPASSION ON US
Praise be to God for having compassion on us:
Saving us despite our transgressions
Separating us from traditions’ trespasses
Sanctifying us according to His truth we trust
Satisfying us by His triumph along trials and tests
Supporting us upon His Scriptures of trustworthy testimony
Matthew 16:6 Praise be to the Lord for warning us
to take heed and beware of:
Leavening sinfulness
Lawless love so sensual
Leadership that is selfish
Laborious load lifting sickness
Light lifting stubbornness’ shame
Matthew 16:18 Praise be to the Saviour
for building His church upon His:
Purpose by His providence
Person with His peaceful presence
Power against persistent persecutions
Provisions toward progressive prosperity
Precepts midst His perfect plan of perpetuity. Amen!

March 17 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on Judges 1-2
Key Verse – Judges 1:2 And the LORD said, Judah shall go up: behold, I have delivered the land into his hand.
PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO SERVES AS OUR DELIVERER
Praise be to God for delivering us against:
Purposelessness toward power of prayerfulness
Persecutions along prevailing problems
Perversions midst prejudicial protests
Pride while propelled by His peace
Poverty and pestilence
Judges 1:22 Praise be to the Lord Who
is with us, accompanying us along His:
Power as we triumph in His salvation
Provision as we trust His sufficiency
Protection as we testify of His sanctification
Providence as we toil by His standards
Promise as we thank His satisfaction
Judges 2:1 Praise be to the Saviour for assuring us that
He will never break His covenant with us; thus we must:
Love Him, believing His Word
Live for Him, blessed in His work
Learn from Him, built-up up by His wisdom
Lean on Him, braced upon His ways
Look unto Him, beseeching His will. Amen!

In this world so full of drama
I ventured to see the Dalai Lama,
so many problems filled me with dread.
He said breathe deep and let it go,
from your head down to your toe, and
offered me a piece of manna bread..
The wise man shared the bond
between Dr. King and Thich Nhat Hahn,
although these spiritual teachers are now dead..
From different religions that's for sure, the
persecutions they endured, yet non-violence
was always their common thread..
Happy Birthday to Dr. Martin Luther King

Above all limitations we move!
Amidst the storms we move!
Storms get tougher,
the waves and the wind.
We have no choice but to cry
''God please save me''!
We fail a lot
Discouraged we get
but we have to make a move,
Persecutions we face .
Have you ever felt discouraged?
Like you want to quit
I tell you there is 'no time to quit'
Business, academics, life is not working
Come on!
Every one wants to be successful.
We try a lot but it gets so tough.
I write to give you hope
Job 17:9 says- The righteous keep moving forward, and those with clean hands become stronger and stronger.
Philippians 3:14 says- I run straight toward the goal to win the prize that God's heavenly call offers in Christ Jesus.
So 'move'!
No matter the limitations or the adversaries
Make Christ your firm foundation.
WE MOVE.

2 Corinthians 12:10 ~ "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."
~ The Holy Bible
When I'm bogged down by fears,
Then He reminds, "Be not afraid",
When I'm troubled with tears,
Then He tells me, "Don't be dismayed";
When future's bleak,
He comes along,
When I am weak,
Then am I strong;
When I'm filled with sorrows,
Then He assures, "Be of good cheer",
When I'm tensed 'bout morrows,
Then He comforts, "I'm with you, dear";
When cares exhaust,
He unwinds me,
When I feel lost,
Then He finds me;
When I'm mired in worries,
Then He whispers, "Be filled with peace",
When stalled as time hurries,
Then He confirms, "Wait, be still, cease";
When my feet slip,
He steadies me,
With His strong grip
then readies me.

Relative.
Subjective.
Freedom fighters?
Protective?
They are pieces manuvered
In the great game of life.
They often stoke uproars,
Violence and strife!
Rights are considered
A pathway to peace.
To enforce Discriminations
And Persecutions grips to release.
Rights belong to all.
And absolutely to none.
Sometimes they help
Society to move on.
From conception we each
Have the right to live.
When wronged, we have
The right to forgive.
But one right, a right we
All want to have and to be,
The right we desire
Is to be happy.
Such a right is down
To the way that we are.
Who are we at heart?
Why does it sometimes seem far?
Rights often fall
To each one their choice
No matter how loud or
How quiet their voice.
But in claiming our own,
Let's not deny others theirs.
With rights come responsibility.
Let's live our right to care.

Who lies now by the wayside stricken,
sick of body, sick of soul?
His eyes are closed, his ears are deaf
to the somber bells that toll.
I knew this man now sadly stricken
in happier days when blessed by wealth,
famed for both his strength and valor,
his soul and body in best health.
He saved my kindred, then the stricken
by persecutions, death and war.
He bound our wounds and brought good fortune.
Why lies he now at sorrow's door?
Shall we pass by the mighty stricken?
Ingratitude, this world's poor loan?
Those once helped must now be helpers.
No man or woman stands alone.

Mr Lying Justice
socially not accepted
Are you there for us
I see the trials discrimination
Falls righteousness fails
Impetus accounts to warn me about
About my admissions
About my wrong decisions
Memories prevailing warns me
About my persecutions
no Love, no forgiveness no fair share
Who cares
Covered equalities their appellate and judications
Act on predominants vacations
Preeminence justice equal legal unequal restricted
legally who am I already convicted

NEATH OLDE SOUTHERN CROSS
‘Neath olde Southern Cross
sparkling stars
show a radiant view,
for we will stand
in this brand-new land,
so far, far away
from toil, trouble and strife
of a darkness past,
where oppressions reigned
amidst religious persecutions
of our faith,
so, in order to escape
to a brand-new life,
our motherland we’ve left behind,
for across the seas we came,
where our journey took many
in under sail
and by fickle winds,
and in doing so
new trepidations and fears appeared
and without much thought we overcome,
now just feeling of an unknown
for as we stepped ashore,
and on strange tree near,
a jackass laughed
its peculiar sound indeed to us,
and for all who came ashore that day
in watching the tide come in,
this foreign land we now call it home,
to be a land of opportunity
and of hope and dreams
and from uncertain pasts left behind.

LIVES MATTER
From then to now,
Let it be told,
The ill regard for humanity,
mounting stories told.
But God forbid
that whatever be done,
will be done for this reason,
Power, money, control.
The Trail of Tears,
The Holocaust
Black Slavery and Persecutions
where countless lives have been lost
Mass abortions, mass murders
Racial prejudice and pride
Human trafficking, Corporate oppression
between worker and boss
Political battles, divided nations,
Divided families now scattered
Making sure the vast obscurity
that ALL lives is what matters
