Premium Member Problem Solved

Lucifer rebels, war ensues
Igniting evil’s deadly fuse.
Evil assails, Michael prevails
Satan’s revolt in heaven fails.

Cast down to earth, and filled with rage
His war with God, on man he’ll wage.
The rebel heart that his being filled
In human hearts he will instill.

Mission achieved by cunning ruse
Igniting evil’s deadly fuse.
Paradise lost, from Eden tossed
Death is the price man’s sin did cost.

Sin like a cancer suffused man’s mind
Evil blossomed, of every kind.
Wickedness so ruined God’s plan
That He was sorry He made man.

At the right time, God sent His Son
On Easter’s morn, the fight was won.
Lucifer’s reign was dealt a blow
God’s love for man was now on show.

The reign of sin will one day end
When God again, His Son will send.
This time to judge the quick and dead
And destroy sinners and their Head.

God’s fire will burn the wicked up
They spurned His bid with them to sup.
In place of sin, God’s love will reign
Eternal life His saints will gain.

Dinner Table

We sit and share blood the colour of wine
that ripples in glass on table which stretches 
stretches stretches oceans between us. You’re
there but afar and I’m here but foreign. I wonder
what question you’ll ask me; what magnolia reply
I’d gouge out of the thinning air. Your hand flinches.


Teeny Tiny

Why did the teeny, tiny mouse,
With the gigantic size cheese,
Grow as big as a house
And the cheese, smaller than bees?

Premium Member dog throw up is not a problem

Dog throw up is easily disposed of
If you have another dog
Buddy threw up a minute ago
Beau could hardly wait to clean it up

Premium Member Problem Solved

I'm teasing my favorite commenter (you know who you are) - lol!

My friends told me I'm not quite right. 
So, I saw a doctor for some insight. 
The doctor, at first, could only doubt it,
"I don't know how you live without it. 
Medical science must be redrawn -
your personality is gone."

The Agitator

The egg said to the bacon

“What is wrong with you?”

“You arrive with such a fuss and a splatter”

“All the eggs are wondering just what could be the matter?”

 

The Bacon replied with a sigh

“What is wrong with you?

“You lie there, serenely, with no fuss nor hint of a splatter”

“All the bacon is confused about why nothing matters.”

 

The egg supplied this retort

“I don’t see the problem.”

“Why can’t we just lie here with grace?”

“And accept the inevitability that we all must face”

 

The bacon responded, quite annoyed

“Right there. That’s the problem.”

“Why would you accept your demise with grace?”

“And miss an opportunity staring you right in the face”

 

The egg, getting hot with wonderment, stated

“I’m still not convinced”.

“I fail to see the point of the fuss and the splatter.”

“None of this can save me. None of it matters.”

 

” The bacon, heating up with resolution, countered

“Mr. Egg, be convinced!”

“There is a warning attached to the fuss and the splatter.

“If it saves one strip of bacon, then it matters”

Premium Member trade presents no problem for a genius

His narcissism’s off the charts
Only psychos say he’s got smarts
This china shop bull
Sells shopping carts full
Of shlock from his rear-facing parts

The Problem With You Is Me

It’s time we simply just let go
        of things that we’ve been taught to know
Perhaps not by a mom or dad
                    but by the world, it’s just so sad

To trash this group for doing that
              “ It happens when that side’s at bat”
and these folks do or don’t belong
                      but how is being human wrong

It’s funny how a color plays
                      that history, if learned, conveys
Inherited ideas and blame
                  instead of thinking, what a shame

So have your God, your church, your pew
                 and live and let live, why can’t you
For wrong is wrong and right is right
                and many books can shed that light

Let’s look inside and just find love
                         from all around or from above
And maybe you’ll begin to see
                        The problem that I have is me

Premium Member Mama might be the Problem

No one could follow the labyrinth of logic in Norman’s head
He is too brilliant for commoners, his overbearing gushy mother said
Norman’s commonsense father had other ideas instead
She makes too many excuses like she did for our runaway son, Ned.

Problem Statement, cook county, sheriff in style !

Problem Statement, cook county, sheriff in style !

My father’s daughter was engaged to my father’s sister’s son. 

My father’s mother opted out to have a side to join the festive eve. 

She (narrator) stopped as she (interpreter) intervened.

O yeah! Your tortilla and your taco and your feeling!!!!!
Self reliance and legacy of family tradition.

Whom to say? To usher a may?


My father’s niece was engaged to my father’s nephew. 

My father’s mother opted out (to die before) to join the festive eve.

Premium Member The problem with biblical eisegesis

The problem with biblical eisegesis
is that you tear Bible verses to pieces.
And in your effort to make of the Bible and its glory
your own personal story,
the truth value of the Bible dramatically decreases.

PROBLEM

Problem
Very disturbing
Being the victor
Makes you happy,
Being the loser
Make you worry and worthless.

Problem a disruption
Very annoying
To the educated
It Hinders growth 
Destroys relationships 
Leaving many vulnerable
Acting from panic and fear.

Have anything flourish amidst war??
No schooling and more
Problem very practical 
When you get a prey
It awards you
When you bite
More than you can chew
It disgrace you
Don't let folly takes over you.
