Stand Your Ground, Don’t Get Pushed Around
If a cop stops you and says, "Show me your ID,"
Know your rights before you agree.
They can’t demand it just on suspicion,
There must be a crime, a law must be broken.
No crime? No reason? Then stand your ground,
Don't allow yourself to get pushed around.
If they threaten you with arrest, if you don’t

6th Death Anniversary at the grave
2025.4.16
Today, it is my late friend AP's 6th death anniversary.
This morning, I visited him
And brought with me not only the usual,
But three more new items
A popular book "The Art of Happiness",
A new published "The Holly book of the Foreskin"
And a frame of my embroidery work,
Consisted of a poem of farewell best wishes,
The song "La Paloma".

Pushed
And even SHOVED I say!
For the love of my life threw me away.
It happened too fast--
Quicker than a flash--
And now, alone in the bed, I lay.
Oh, but she couldn't just let things be,
Couldn't find it in her to set me free,
For she pushed and shoved
Then kissed and hugged
And left me to wonder, "What are we?"
And

Spring is on its way The Snowdrops have pushed through
Spring is on its way
(The Snowdrops have pushed through)
By Michelle Morris

The Snowdrops have pushed through
Just like you and I
They're beautiful and joyous
Reminding us to keep trying
For Winter is not forever
Spring is on its way
Let's focus on Love and Light
The beauty in every day
And if you're feeling afraid
Take

Yet Pushed, Ever Onward, I Dare Tread
Yet Pushed, Ever Onward, I Dare Tread
BEHOLD, I wade into darkening mists,
My journey, clarification of Fate
When I balked, black ghost said, I insist
Hurry destiny cries, it is too late,
Strolling deep within, horrific the sounds
So strangely pungent the circling winds
In distant valleys, baying of the hounds-
I fear what that hideous sign portends.
Now so afraid, through weeping

I Was Amazed That He Pushed the Television Over With His Foot
I remember when I was a young man,
My manager has a sense of some place to go. He was a er, a screw head, a person that would not take it anymore. A man that stood up against the scum, the s the dogs, the filth, the . After meeting a person with allegations

Pushed Out
Like a clenched handful of sand,
The small granules of my days slip
through my tight fist,
Refusing to be held captive,
Escaping so quickly
into the past,
Pushed out by the pressure
of tomorrow,
Unable to be saved
for a better
time.

Pushed Out
Thurst from the safety of a warm womb,
With a brand new destiny to explore,
Pushed outward to a grand world unknown,
Not to return to its comfort anymore.
Taught academic and skills for life,
Urged to expand your natural giftings,
A strategy to push you out to thrive,
to start a life with new beginnings.
Not long, you will reach your

You Pushed Me Myself and Irene
Stress pulled Me Myself and Irene
went from nice to stubbornly mean
had to change to help me
because nobody was helping me
No respect a joke and clown
treating me without a care
as you expect broke me down
a long long time and everywhere
I went from saying please
to I will hurt you
no time or energy
no concern

You Pushed Me Away
You pushed me away
And I remained rooted
On the spot
Drenched, in the pouring rain,
Having no strength left in me
To even walk away!
The winds surging forth saw me,
Pitied me
And blew me away
As easily as they could
Lifting me up as if I were a mere
Dried up leaf!
I landed somewhere else
Somewhere where Death is revered
As the deity of

Pushed
Oops, they pushed their captain off his own ship,
made sure the deck was slick, black-boot polished,
waited ‘til great white sharks surrounded it,
until sharp sword swells upended its whip.
They turned their back, mocked, laughed, pretending to

Loud Mom Pushed In and Lynn Moved Out
Lynn was the sad mat and Sam the boss man.
She did what he said with black fry sauce pan.
Not cod he said with a mean swish and smirk.
She felt bad this was a life with a jerk.
Sam's mom was a storm. Came in on the run.
His king kid was eight and all kinds of fun.
Her

Grace-Pushed Pursuits
Grace-pushed pursuits…
Endeavors called great
…Spiritual or carnal?
Christ-aimed target…
Eternity-check
…Surpassing self-glory?
Worthy purpose…
Pleasing God with faith*
…Is that ephemeral?
*Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
