Pillars Poems

Five Pillars

A house will stand when pillars five
Are cared for so it can survive.

People – hearts that build the way,
Their trust decides if dreams will stay.

Organisation - bones and frame,
Without clear roles, all falls to blame.

Processes - the hidden streams,
That carry work, that shape our dreams.

Information - truth in hand,
The compass strong in shifting sand.

Technology -

Pillars Of Salt

Sodom
in tatters
Gomorrah
is ash
L.A. lies
burning
New York
in the trash

Cowards

Weakness

Our heritage

With traitors

The Three Kingdom Pillars Of Revolutions

What is sin?
Sin is doing your own will
It is called the serpent seed
Which is within you from the very beginning.
The serpent seed is the seed of Lucifer
Which was planted through Adam and Eve in the garden.
What is Spiritual Revolution?
It is the dethroning of disobedient spirit
And enthroning the obedient spirit of God within us.
The key is

Pillars of salt

You cut me here,
without ever saying a word.

  Then you twisted and turned,
your knife into a sword.

  Then you took back your word,
so now I'm never sure.

  Then you took away my soul,
not knowing what it's worth.

  So I cut myself,
 to show you where it hurts.

  "Don't look back

Pillars

Like scales of justice
Balancing my thoughts
Weighing out the pros vs cons
lightness vs darkness
Being grateful and blessed
vs negativity and withdrawn
6ft above, staring down 
At all the obstacles, I conquer
With his blessings
Overcome by tears of joy, fulfilment
With my arms wide open and hands up high
On my knees
Embracing his guidance, his teachings
Standing firm like pillars
Withstanding all the elements

Premium MemberPOETIC PILLARS: A HAIKU QUARTET

As poetic fruits,
Let us be stones of oneness;
Pillars of its words:-

Just as in nature,
life has its seasonal times–
constructing our growth:-

As is its nature,
Life has its sowing and reaping;
Its joys and sadness:-

As we plant our words,
may they be pillars of both
joy and awareness:-

Premium MemberTwo Pillars

I stare at our phones lying side by side,
A picture of you and me,
Smiling back with glee, and I must agree,
Happier times when our hearts were still intact,
Before the mirror got its first crack.

Going back almost forty years,
Time waits for no one, or so it appears.
Husband and wife at last,
I found the man of my

Premium MemberDemocracy's Pillars

In marble halls where laws are etched in stone,
Where freedom's song should echo, full and grown,
A silence creeps, insidious and slow,
As arts and letters wither, they are forced to go.

For what is liberty without a voice?
A hollow promise, absent reasoned choice.
Democracy's not merely casting votes,
It thrives on minds that question and take notes.

When budgets slash

Premium MemberArches Reflect: Pillars of Human Passage

We stand still as stone, hold our shape over time 
Watchers of the mosque, we watch as masks walk
Each passing stride a new universe of re-re-redesign
Every step under us, on the same curve of cold rock

Carved from the whole, statues with earth-turning toes 
Clay feet on a cobbled road, yet we continue
Seeing the still-captured unease

Pillars

I stand here still
In the stillness of the night
What have we been
Have we been through
I wonder now
Every morning a new day
I am glad you chose to stay

Whispers, softly call
Manifold shapes
A heart of gold
I can be sure 
That we grow old
Just so much
To be learned and told

You shine
You grow
I see the spheres
Of significance
I see the pillars
Of

When pillars fail
   When walls break
My angel can bear
   The unknown weight.

If darkness prevails
   He comes striving
To lead me down trails
   I've never been.

Two Pillars

The two pillars of my poetry:
factual symbol and symbolic fact
without them,
I could not be able to write,
therefore
I would not exist
existentially.
