Rebuked Poems

All You Thirsty, Come to the Waters

I strive to place God as the be- all and end- all of life
  I know He watches over me as a caring father.
        When storm clouds rise high in my sky,
      I look up to Him for guidance.
              He gives company in my loneliness,
    Gives hope, when down in the ditch of despair.

  As I walk in darkness, whenever I falter and fall
      His gentle words keep ringing in my ears
              “Come all you, who are thirsty
        Come to the waters”- (Isaiah-55)
               Yes, I turn to the living waters
    And drink deep from the wellsprings of His love.

   In my sojourn on this earth, his love pilots me
        When storms rage fierce and breakers rise high,
     I turn to Him who once rebuked the wind,
        And calmed the waves of the tumultuous sea.

           With childlike trust, I give my hand to God
  And ask Him to hold it tight, never letting go.
        I know, God is pleased with my absolute trust in Him
     And also, my resolve to love all of His creation.

     Let every atom of my being throb with His filling love
        May it spurt like torrents to form the gushing stream.

My Name Is Malchus

I, Malchus, am not remembered for anything that I did.
Rather, I am remembered for what was done to me.
Not agreeable to many, but I was doing my job.

In so doing, I was attacked viciously by Peter
who quickly drew a sword and 'cut off my right ear'.
Peter, a disciple of Jesus, but intemperate in character.

Sure, he loved his teacher, but such defense wasn't necessary.
Fortunately, Jesus firmly rebuked Peter and 'healed my ear'.
Why, even in the name of religion, must we behave so violently?

REBUKING

She said
It's only me she wants 
She always rebuking
The richest men
In our community 
Just to be with me
She always wants my attention.

She even rebuked 
Her parents 
She wants to be mine forever 
Steadily rebuking 
Whoever her parents 
Wants for her
Steadily reminding her parents about me.

She also rebuked
Her friends and siblings 
Whenever they say 
I'm not man enough 
Just because I don't 
Throw money around 
She knows what's right for her
Good loving, that's what I always give her.

Heartbeats

Can you hear my heartbeat 
To the sound of little feet
Running around me meowing 
Like a cat or barking
Can you hear my jilted fears
Pealed away like green pear skins
Rebuked by real and imagined sins
Flipped like a pancake drenched in syrup 
Then like a cowgirl in stirrups 
Ridden past green trees and tumbleweed
Until the heartbeats aren’t tumbling
Into the abyss of a denied kiss
I can hear it in my ear
Strong steady ready for what comes
Will you be the mystery mahogany inspiring
My hearts beating all odds 
Humor me and sing a melody 
Share and care dare to be
Red bleeding heart on a sleeve

flood anxiety

What’s causing panic disorder?  
Venezuelans flood our border
Their country we rebuked
So here they’ve regrouped
Without a legal court order

Authors Note: Actions have consequences and sanctions that punish countries South of the border have led to increasing illegal immigration. For the first time ever, Venezuelans became largest nationality for illegal border crossings in September, 2023. In an attempt to address the root cause, we're now negotiating with Hugo Chavez. That lead to a prisoner swap and might make sense in the long run.

Spiritual Arteries

I was a negative teen, not depressed -
My diary declared I was.
A complainer indeed, no one stopped me;
Only a sociology teacher
gave me some definitions to ponder.
I was a listener back then -
the friend not the one that needed advice
yet. But
no one heard me; I was cut off
from the world. Sheltered
is what my aunts said.
Seemed shameful, sad.
Pondered for years what it meant.
You really don’t know…
You don’t know what it means…
Then you don’t know how it fits
and then you ponder…
how do I fit?
I went to Catholic school from Kindergarten through 7th.
In 7th grade I had a teacher who told us about a séance 
he was in. Who let him through the door?
That year I had a Ouiji board…what in the world
was going on THAT year! Later
I rebuked all of that and more.
I gave it up for the Lord, I adore.
All that gunk clogs up your spiritual arteries.
A steady diet of biblical truth cleans one out.

Delude

How can enough be enough
When lives are treated like garbage
Picked from the gutters
Thrown in the dump?

How can earth be at peace
When nature is disturbed
And air is defiled constantly
Yet superiors smile over it?

When a poor mother
Tries to save her child,
From the emitting of carbon
Burned by an industry close by,
She is deluded and placed low
Because superiors enjoy the advantages
Caused by the disadvantages.

Do not ask the masses to calm down
When their lives are endangered,
But you stand the chance to put an end
To this awful beginning of the end
That has placed mankind in disarray.

As they try to let it out
To fight in order to heal the world,
To restore stability,
They are rebuked by hierarchy,
‘Shhhh! Say no word’.

William Branham, Prophet To South Africans -

I
Paul warned his "son" Timothy, On Guard
In the end time, many false prophets disguised
Even as angels from heaven, will tickle ears
And many will be led astray; Jesus is "too much"
To take, one in Adelaide told me:
The Bible takes you that much, "eyes" that see
Know the apple was really a "sexual act" in Genesis 1
Brennan (Branham, yes, Anaya) tells them much more
About serpents and Adam who didn't sin
So blame Eve & Women, Jesus needs help
From prophets born in modern nations we know ...
Where does it end? Spoken Word & other "church" finds a new prophet
Who teach us how to read The Word --
As the Popes, priests, Pharisees did
Roundly rebuked in Matthew 23
How easy: heretics say, they alone can see
Jesus had an answer there too (John 9)

How Easily Man Judges

When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?”

But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

Luke 9:54-55

How easily man judges,
hates, throws down the gauntlet.
Oh can’t you see - God is the merciful one.
We hang ‘em high and hang ‘em low
(Better than them, am I)
We love to be one of the mob,
pointing, mocking, laughing.

Are we teachable?
The lord stopped James and John in their tracks.

(Oh I wish he’d be condemned,
send fire down on his head.)

Oh sure…we are the truth tellers,
we imagine ourselves to be god.

We want, him or her, destroyed?
But ahem…God could destroy anyone,
anytime. His purposes are greater than ours.

I’m grateful for that. You should be too.
Oh can’t you see - God is the merciful one.

I don’t want to see what’s in your nose.
Bring it level. If God judged you today
without His help, guess where you’d be?

He says wild things like:
Love your enemies!

The good news trumps your newspaper
and news on t.v.

If your nose tilts, let your eyes see God’s
peace, mercy and grace

…a revolution of love

Evil People

ANYMORE
Words of wise men has turned evil
And the souls of trusted women has turned to devil
My own humbled spirit rebuked and chocked
And my ways chased after and  blocked

Hey books of poverty and nice words of enemity
On whose hands are you lying in this city
Are the words worthy to destroy or build 
If the words belong to me then im a child

Dont push those words again
Or whisper them on my ears because here is the rain
I dont belong to the world of darkness
For today i have the moon and sun for brightness

Let me out of your minds
Because you will swayed trees like winds
When i get to my world
Where would you have your pride sold

My world is different from all what you gave
The halves of calabashes you have
Those which you used to convince 
See now they deceived you all even the prince

Hey today listen to me in this daylight
Im of the chosen race among the heir of the sight
And my spirit cant fight 
With the race of devil sought.

I just feel sorry..@dafinacatensartpieces..instapage??

Serene Sea

serene sea settles
seething sorrow of stressed souls---
sends Christ's “peace be still*.”

*Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

Learning From Tigger and Eyoor

Tigger ceaselessly zooms with zest and zeal
Triggered so well by enthusiasm-wheel
So contagious is his active delight
Moving my child toward functional delight.

Eyoor stays calm and cool in his posture
Bringing serenity in group venture
Allowing grand good balance to prevail
Such is Creator’s plan fears* can’t assail.

*Matthew 8:26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.

When Noise Suddenly Kept Quiet

He always kept on talking.
In a loud voice, he let listeners
mark his sword of words. 
With a scream, he painted 
the dream’s delight and colors
in the plateau.
He ranted when the daybreak
gradually dawned.
He gladly viewed in the air 
the energetic flap of nurtured
trust and answer.
Until the strong current pursued
and forcibly silenced him, 
the murmur of waterfall 
and the giant cascade investigated him,
the flying sharp splash shouted at him.
The fierce eyes stopped him, 
the castigating claws and furious fangs 
in the woods rebuked him.
Only then he uttered no sound.
Only then the deafening hush roared 
like a mute thunder.
Serenity with sincerity.
Tranquility with deep 
wisdom and policy.

Shadow: the True Lover

I was walking as drunk
But regret, drank nothing. 
Dogs were barking in the street
But fearless man had nothing. 

 Kicked small stones
 To entertain myself. 
 Shaped lips for whistle merrily
 To sing a song for thyself. 

Suddenly I noticed
Someone was behind me
I turned at once
But none was special behind me. 

A dark shade
Was lying silently on sand. 
Wow! It was amazing 
Something like me was printed. 

I ran hurriedly
But it chased me
I stopped
It also stopped like me. 

I said, 'go away'
Neither replied nor moved
I kicked hard it
But it not responded. 

I prayed
I bribed
I rebuked to get rid of
But it never turned.

Without any demand
It dwells with me
Nobody can understand 
How much she loves me.

Tenebrific Winter Has Turned To Day

Baby, just put on your favorite coat
I've got no time for you to waste away,
the swallows have returned, spring is afloat
and tenebrific winter has turned to day, 
the sun is rising across the bay.

No more the dark and gloomy nights,
all dank grey days rebuked by light.
Outside the grass is warm beneath the sky,
and dainty flowers flaunt their bluebells bright
with morning dew and birds a fly.
