Reinforces Poems

Boo Hoo

Today’s the U.S. Open Final
Taking place in Queens,
With Alcaraz and Sinner
Front and center on our screens.

We’ve been told the prez will be on hand
And, while the anthem plays,
All the cameras will be focused 
On the bluster he displays.

Yet to show how things have changed,
A memo managed to get sent
To the broadcast booths of every station
Brooking no dissent –

No booing of the U.S. king
Should make it on the air.
If such disruptions do get shown,
Well, broadcasters, beware!

This censorship just reinforces
How low we have sunk.
Our former democratic values
Certainly have shrunk.

No Turning Back

Quiet weep

This inspiring song strongly reinforces our global beliefs, originating from the depths of Africa. The chorus has gained considerable popularity online. While some may argue that it is more radical than spiritual, I respectfully disagree. It resonates deeply with those who hold these beliefs
“No turning back” comes with a lot of meaning, behind this chorus line
I know of a lot of Genz who do believe in religion 
But to see how they react to the chorus “I have decided to follow Jesus
Make us believe that we can conquer the devil.
They took up, they crossed and followed thee
Was it the beat in the songs or the lyrics that inspired so many
Of them to get up and dance along?
As poets, we might refer to this as zigging and zagging,
As Genz will probably say, free up your minds
I would say trust the song, not the singer
Distressing without demonstrating.  
Camping without thinking, 
Moving gracefully without political approvals
Let them see the youth at their best.
And more things as the Caribbean would 
They come to play. No turning back

in defense of Donald Trump

in defense of Donald Trump

What is enduring is Trump's popularity 
of the working class, who live on truncated
income and has not reserved cash
at the end of the week
Is it because he speaks the language of us
uneducated masses and he reinforces 
the hatred of the middle class, who have
fancy titled jobs, but produce nothing
Politicians talk over their head
but have nothing but contempt for us
But there must be something more 
a synergy who are not Americans do not
understand
The deep division between the ordinary
people and the elite are staggering
can bring the USA to the brink of civil unrest
However, there is a politician, flawed
who see this and workers listen to his voice
Donald Trump is the man for our time
he knows how to talk to foreign leaders
because he is honest and tells it like it is

idle musings

articulation reinforces
the glue that grips us
on the canvas of life

silence on the other hand
being bereft of attribute
enlivens soul’s stillness

UNCONSCIOUS BIAS MIDST TRUTH

Midst unconscious bias along fulfillment height
Against scarcity feelings of carnality’s pest
Brought by low self-esteem, attacking virtuous best 
I claim triumph of spirituality-delight.

Praise-propelled as recipient of God’s precious grace*
I'm gripped with serene eternal salvation’s bliss
Though egoistic opinions show mocking hiss
My heart is grateful for blessings through all the days.

Unconscious bias makes me admit what I need
It’s to share with others love that makes them complete
Midst kindness and care, selflessness can’t deplete
Vanquishing vain jealousy, likewise grievous greed.

Truth freely reinforces reality-seal
Against flaws of bias, though unconsciously done
Always earnest while honesty is surely won
Living gladly with others in reaching-out zeal.

*Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.

Choices

Choices
By: Miracle Man
7/1/2024

Often times God ushers us,
through times of distress.
Giving us confidence,
to share what we profess.

It reinforces our thinking,
and increases our belief.
It then purges our minds,
of any dormant misbelief.

But life is all choices,
few days are a snap.
And due to all this,
we must learn to adapt.

Too many go through life,
seeking to attain inner peace.
Assuming that we own life,
but God alone holds our lease.

PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO MOVES US TO TRUST IN HIM

April 26 Praises to God Bible Meditations Based on 2Kings 18-19 

Key Verse – 2Kings 18:5 He trusted in the LORD God of Israel; so that after him was none like him among all the kings of Judah, nor any that were before him.

PRAISE BE TO GOD WHO MOVES US 
TO TRUST IN HIM WHO IS THE LORD	

Praise be to God for moving us to trust in the Lord:
Directing us toward His will perfectly
Disciplining us through His way protectively
Declaring to us His worthiness-wealth prudently
Delighting us according to His Word’s working powerfully
Defending us against waywardness and worldliness peacefully

2Kings 18:6 Praise be to the Lord Who 
ushers us to cleave to Him as we: 
Cling to His goodness
Call unto His greatness
Clamor for His guidance
Come to His graciousness
Cheer along His generosity

2Kings 19:31 Praise be to the Saviour for
His zeal that always:
Revives our faith’s strength
Restores our fuel for service
Replenishes our fervor in stewardship
Rejuvenates our flame for servanthood
Reinforces our fixed firmness in supplication. Amen!

I Will Love You Forever

I will love you forever
(You are the essence of my beautiful soul)
By Michelle Morris
17/08/2023

I have loved you forever
From the moment our souls touched
There in the cradle of creation
There where God started His work 

I will love you forever 
Until the last star burns out in the Universe
When God ends everything
And Death comes with his hearse

Nothing will ever change it
This beautiful connection we share
Everything we do reinforces us
Our magic and mystery and flair

I will love you forever
More than there are atoms in the Universe
You are my person, my world
You are the essence of my beautiful soul

People Feel

Life can be challenging but if we work together and do our best to spread love and light and compassion, we can make it better for everyone.

People feel... 
By Michelle Morris 
17/10/2020 

People feel invisible -
They feel like no one cares;
Especially when society, 
Reinforces all their fears. 

People feel disenfranchised - 
That rights are not fairly shared;
It all depends on circumstance, 
The luck of genetic bearing. 

People feel frightened - 
That life's a constant halloween;
Depending on where you live, 
You have to face so many demons. 

People feel angry - 
That politicians are out of touch;
Maybe when they vote again, 
They'll choose someone they can trust.

Love Is Just a Battery On My Phone

After a week of treatment, a pill each day, combined with messages “ you have completely humiliated me and made me look an idiot in front of a whole lot of people, inside and outside of work.”
Love is only remembering. Texts within my journal, interpolating old words which are plain and simple. These are vague reminders that there’s nothing in your life.
Next day after nothingness, she’s saying “can’t you recognise? That I’m sensitive!”, “stop telling me stuff that reinforces it”, “it’s not making a positive difference”, “Thanks for telling me this”.
Love is only a future memory which includes someone else. More messages “are you drunk, drunk? I ask”,” are you drinking”, her final reply is “go figure it out”.
Making you feel unimportant or blamed is worse than any rejection even lower than rejecting yourself.
Another text message states, “I don’t want a relationship with someone, who that cant recognises when they call someone nasty”. The day after the next she calls me a "

Tests Are No Light Winnings

Tests arrest students' rest:
Requesting the best their stomachs digest;
To see the ones that would be oppressed,
And the ones that would repossessed...
Providing solutions to teacher's quests, 
From the simple twists to them he ingested--
That with pen, he will have marks attest:
Either make cane's justice get them swiftly arrested 
Or make praise reinforces their progress assessed.

Relaxing Into My Soul Knowledge

silence hisses, whispering streams of poetry and melody 
my soul is soothed as meditation takes me into a brave mist 
idea of thankfulness mirrors my countenance 
the air is glowing with lights of seven candles 
ancestral voices parade in through the window
smoke of the night takes my hand and guides me 
entities are steadily arriving, showing me the way
leading me toward the true desires of my heart
my soul is relieved, as we are lead to remember
the contract we signed before this incarnation
my soul sighs, relaxing into the knowledge 
we are in the safe flames of our spiritual candles
All is good, all is well, we are finally feeling home, 
Feeling our energy self, recognizing our heavenly truths.
A flicker of candles reinforces my path, showing me my soul.

A Word of Advice

Do not be full of yourself, Momma said,
Leave room in your self for those who love you
Whatever you do, do not be mislead
Someone will try to manipulate you
By telling you what they want you to do.
Remember, you must chart your own life course
Draw deep from within your inner sources
And do not forget those who love you most
Draw from inside strength that reinforces
But "to thine own self be true" is foremost.*

[*The quote is from Shakespeare's Hamlet,
Act 1, Scene 3.]

Free Again Part 3

NOT ONE BUT FOUR
Who are the British, do they exist,
these nationals of her Britannic majesty
so often shortened to ‘ Brit’.

Eighty years, and more
I’ ve walked this shore but ‘Brit’
I see not, here, where I, sit.

A kingdom united, yes that
rings a bell, but, am I
a ‘Brit’; No, No, do let me tell

of Four Kingdoms, as one, England
Scotland, Ireland and Wales. This
quartet, the crux of my tale.

Many things each maybe, ..but never
a ‘Brit’. We are Scot, Irish, Welsh
or English..now do you see ?

Each nation, unique and distinct,
language reinforces my point, as in
English, not British, this poem I ink

Nursery Rhyme

I'd like to write a nursery rhyme
For every girl and boy
One they'd rather hear
Instead of playing with a toy

I'd like to write a nursery rhyme
That'd stay forever in your head
One that children ask you for
Each night as they go to bed

I'd like to write a nursery rhyme
With easy words to say
One with a type of melody
That never goes away

I'd like to write a nursery rhyme
That would let a child know
It's okay to make mistakes
We learn as we grow

I'd like to write a nursery rhyme
That talks of God above
One that reinforces faith
And he created us with love
