One poetess advised me to be brief
As my words can be easily recollected
She is no more, but her advice lingers
I nowadays think of her with gratitude
Only when we are brief and to the point
Our message will be read by everyone
As, all are worried over loss of time
And brevity makes them never worry
Even if my poetry tells golden words
And it is so long like river Nile
Many may skip it in a hurry with fear
As time can never be wasted by all
Thank you dear poetess, you are great
As once you were nominated for Nobel
You belonged to the land of Socrates
Your advice is ever worth remembering
May your soul rest in peace my dear
You have opened my eyes usefully
I long back understood not your idea
Now, I know, you have benefited me
We must muse over others' admonitions
Gold and diamond may be there hidden
If we have the guts to scan and find
We and the World are surely profited !

The artist curls her hair.
splashes the color with a lot of care,
she has to be fair,
and fashion should be in a simple manner,
the painting is then thrown to a rich trader,
so the painter has profited.
Not knowing whose hands it is onto,
but the owner is sure it is out of the lobby once he is bored.

~Substance
am I dirt and clay
surrounding My soul and My Spirit
within water and blood
shaping surrounded by mud
confession my tarnished silver cord
professing the wrongs that I've done
surrounded covered in the blood
the blood of Jesus
seemingly I am free
as I let God's mercy surround me
profited I not
I rise above my faults forgiven as I forgave I am no longer not
A sinning slave
I have misbehaved
Now I'm forgiven
Mercy's enrage~

It is better to ask JESUS what ought I to do, say, write ... than be in the SOUP of History.
HEADLINES: 8 hours ago: UK Banks and Church apologize for Slavery - WHY NOW?
Because BLACK LIVES MATTER. And you thought tjust "law and order" to make more dough.
'Former Bank of England governors and directors profited from slavery, as did a bishop and dozens of other clergymen.
The Bank said it would ensure that images of former governors who were involved in the slave trade are not displayed in its buildings.
The Church described its history as a "source of shame".
"Slavery and exploitation have no place in society," a Church spokeswoman said.'

and the Spirit was solemn as He asked me, "whom or what has it profited that you freely acknowledge this is an age void of conviction, but still indulge yourself in resisting me?'
and i shouted to everyone what the Spirit told me from the shoulders of my tall horse.

what would He have done in the face of such a situation?
what if one who betrayed Him gave him false information?
what if a crown had never been placed upon His head?
all i know is He would never have wished anyone dead
what would He have done if He was slapped in the face,
He would turn the other cheek before a loving embrace?
what would He have done had they stolen his gold?
He probably would have prayed that they profited from that which they sold
What if He hadn't listened to his Father's worthy word?
and what if He hadn't had a family to follow what they had heard?
perhaps He could have been a good shepherd leading his flock alone
and would have warned us all about throwing the first stone
what if He didn't enjoy living in a house made of glass
and everyone saw everything this man would make come to pass
what if He was able to do to everyone what He did when Lazarus died?
perhaps His only alternative was to do His Father's will and be cruelly crucified

something I found hidden in a painting....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SIC VOS NON " VOBIS "
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thus do ye,but not for yourself....
....used of person's by whose labor's
other's have unduly profited.........
The great thinker's and artist's past
have left messages
for a time to forever last
In hope that we will be able to understand......
[ " The Crucifixion " , Giovanni Donato Montorfano ]
....adjacent to Da Vinci's " Last Supper " in the church
Santa Maria delle Grazie........
