Premium MemberSitting in Philosophy Class

Attempting to think
As these reasoners of Greece
If I reason a

thirty-secondly
Of these, that'll give me peace
I must admit this 

it is not how I 
get my kicks, Reading all this 
course material 

so prolix, In all
fairness I must bequeath to 
give my attention

to my teacher, To
study in waters muddy
Van Til and Bahnsen 

make clear to reason 
properly and retain a 
child's ear, So don't 

follow the world
Or seek its destination
By implication

Follow Christ and His
example, there is ample
Evidence for it

Backward is forward

Wake
The ever present enemy
Overbearing and oppressively 
Shadowing expectantly 
As forethought always secondly 
Two minds hang suspended be
Interrupting thoughtlessly 
Relentless and attentively 
Aressting so effectively 
Contented is left restlessly 
Thrashed into docility
Numbing the auxiliary 
Concerning such complacency 
Overwhelming this tranquillity
Resolute in the obscurity
Abstracting absurdity
With Orchestrated entropy
Worn out by pacificity
Sleep

Love Flower

Too many flowers in the garden
I admire all their beauty
But my eyes so choosy
I only pick one
The one flower I picked
I put it in my bosom
So dear that no one could see
Promptly I put it in a vase
Put it in front of my table
So every time that I could see
Secondly, this flower I choose
Suit the scent in my smell
I got air freshener all day
That pampered my mood
Every morning is a routine
To pick this flower for me
It's my love that I do this everyday.

Nothing but the peace of God

What’s the wrong word


People in glass houses shouldn’t throw bricks
Thirsty a) that’s a green house
Lee lea secondly 
It doesn’t sayKant
Lee Lee Lea 3rd lee
What kinda maniac is making glass houses
Don’t run with scissors
Well unless you want a deeper cut
First is a strange word
Was the first street fir st
I stop at every pit
Let’s start with art street

What do I want put in my coffin before cremation
Personally I want popcorn kernels 
Water
A space suit might as well get your money’s worth

We have a weird one in Scotland Beggars belief
That mean unbelievable
But is that not a bit condescending I mean why shouldn’t they have belief surely them more than others

Anywhys gotta go

Premium MemberAngels


One is a nameless ANGEL who appeared to the shepherds.
He was later accompanied by a host of other nameless ANGELS.
Another ANGEL appeared to Joseph on three different occasions.
The first ANGELIC appearance to Joseph was before the birth of Jesus.
Secondly, Joseph was warned by the ANGEL to flee to Egypt to save
the life of Jesus. Thirdly, the ANGEL commanded Joseph to return to
Judea because it was then safe to do so.  I feel certain that all ANGELS
have names, but to us nearly all are nameless.

Although Gabriel and Michael are well-known ANGELS, all ANGELS
have responsibilities and important jobs to perform. Gabriel was assigned
to the Virgin Mary and also to Zacharias. We don't know why, but the wise
men were led, not by ANGELS, but by a star, and later communicated to,
not by ANGELS, but in their dream. May we mortals have no vote in the ways
and means of God's communicative methods. May God speak to us in His own way.  May this Christmas ring loudly with the voice of God through Christ.

I just want to be last your last
Want to be your first at last

Premium MemberBetter Late Than Never

Good morning Mr. Sunshine your journey's underway
Have you come across any pocket penguins on your rise today?
I'm looking for one specifically, on her I am sold
You would know her if you saw her, she's a beauty to behold

Well let me tell you some things more to help you to recall
First of all she sings like fire, she's brighter than them all
Secondly she's passionate in what she wants to do
She'll keep you on your toes so you'd better think things through

Thirdly, if she asks a question it's more likely than it's not 
She already knows the answer she's just seeing what you've got
Fourthly she's so feminine, as womanly as they come
Her tastes are just impeccable, in all second to none

And finally, though this isn't all the things that I could here devise
She's got the most captivating, incredible blue eyes 
A pocket penguin yes indeed, but what I say is true 
I'd love to have her with me and if you knew her you would too

Premium MemberFun Poem To Write Two

I have a unique talent everyone knows
I can balance cheerios on my middle toes
On both feet, and sometimes off of my nose
If I dunk them in chocolate and one of them glows.

Thousands want this secret from the Eskimos
Does it start with butterfly kisses, do you suppose?
The rumors run in circles tight like my garden hose
Here is the first part, you have to wear orange clothes

Secondly, you have to know two cousins, both Joes.
I cannot tell you the next two parts, said my Uncle Mose.
I rolled my eyes at his silliness, he wears pantyhose.
His stories are crazy, and blow as the wind blows.

The Deadly Art

I should like to try
the deadly art of bow and arrow shooting.
Not with a high-tech hunting bow
but with the sort of 'b & a' you might purchase at Walmart,
a yellow and red one with a rubber sucker
on the arrow tip.

I would shoot at a flying hummingbird
while riding a unicycle blindfolded.

Firstly though I would have to become a
black-belt Zen master the size of a sumo wrestler.
Secondly, but really firstly, I must write a poem
about the deadly but graceful art of bow and arrow shooting

which I think I have now accomplished perfectly.

Trans Legislation 2022

The self perception of any male,female or transgender is strengthen by a medical report not just by his claim that he is a man or a woman.The claim will have to be supported by any kind of medical report which state its gender (whatever it will be)
First of all the bill refer to,”Transgenders“ and not any person therefore the question that anyone can change their sex by their self perceived will,does not apply here. 
Secondly if medically a transgender is neutral,i.e neither male nor a female, then why medical board should assign sex to that person??And furthermore how they will do that??Therefore it should be allowed to transgender himself to decide what gender they consider socially acceptable to them...

Premium MemberDo It Now

The night I sat at the bedside of a dear friend's dying sister,
A poem was conceived in my heart and mind, unlike anything
that I had ever experienced. Words of inspiration were being
formed inside of me in the form of words coming from the heart
and lips of a dying one. Becoming one of my first poems, it was
expressly written in the 'first person' of my friend's sister as if
she was speaking, putting the words within me.

Secondly, the day I realized I would be sending 'writings' to my
pastor, I knew that it was an assignment from God and informed
him accordingly. This was another 'God Moment', a divine encounter
triggered and activated more than 15 years ago. Since initiating the
writings sent to him, I have posted on a poetry website nearly 2000
pieces of work. 

Although prior to those two divine encounters, I had desired to write,
never had I been so compelled and pushed to act upon what I had
dreamed of doing for years.  There was an urgency like none I had prior,
and it was as if 'I had to begin' and begin 'NOW!'.

Brains Are Not Conscious

It is a visualizing tool not much more.
That grey matter was not ever meant
to actually see reality,
evolutionary biology never designed it to,
it is a video game - nothing else.

Thinking is not what we think,
brains collates and sort,
they are filters to shut out a much greater view,
brains are blind to higher states of consciousness.

Mind does not see itself in, or as the brain.
Mind is what we are.

What can we do?

Firstly acknowledge that this reality we experience
is a collective agreement
it is pre-wired to only accept
a narrow spectrum of perception.

Secondly, don’t mention this out loud.
There are a million rabbit holes to fall into
and we already are looking up from so many.

Thirdly, set aside some small time in the 24 hour cycle
to ‘not think’ -  to 'no think.'
This is hard to do, it may take lots of practice,
for the brain is like a chattering monkey -
just don’t feed the monkey.
