I responded with a cheery g'day.
Such simple gestures to convey,
As we both went our merry way....

Have you ever wondered how many people ,
Are walking in the street, 
Looking to do harm,
And if your acknowledgement of them in passing,
Could give them second thoughts....

The right of every man to follow his conscience 
In choosing and practicing his religion
Acknowledgement of religions are not saying
That all religions are equal or equally true

One man, many thoughts
Some intelligent, some not
One versatile brain

Deep inside himself
Waiting for acknowledgement
Is a better man 

To heed your true self
Be open minded, patient
Take a deep breath, leap....

Prepackaged compliment,
  our badge of delight

Symbol and emblem,
—deceptively bright

A pandered acknowledgement,
—slap on the back

Others controlling,
  the acceptance we lack

A Marine kneeling in front of a boy
A seven year old boy with hands extended
barely containing his sorrow
Presenting him with a folded flag
With quivering chin, fighting back tears
In acknowledgement that his dad
…Has no tomorrow…

Someone once told me,
Crying is acknowledging the dead.
Normally I’d agree, but
as I lie on my bedspread,
Thinking about who knows what,
I realize I’m not dead.
I cry all the while being alive.
I’m here but filled with dread.
So,
Am I soon to be dead?...

Never asking for permission,
  always being sure

His head was held firmly,
  his mind had stayed pure

Never seeking your acknowledgement
  or umbrella against the rain

His words exploded thunder
  —truth pouring down again

Just the facts;
No time to relax;
Tensions mounting;
I become all that;
Once imprisoned;
In my negative vision;
I turned my life around;
Made a decision;
To acknowledge my Lord and Savior
Alleluia

PRAISE THE LORD OUR GOD

Hallelujah

Once there were two writer friends Wallace and Cooper.
Into novelization of the original King Kong film, no souper.
“Edgar Wallace didn't write any of Kong, not one bloody word...
I'd promised him credit and so I gave it to him” Cooper’s word
Bloody, informal discussions do worth acknowledgement Cooper!...

Too write with such clarity of vision

   understanding flowing from such a young age

    relating life's light and dark division's

    acknowledgement from the spirit of a sage....


Poetry at it's best,materializes from a spirit's quest...




....in respect too our gifted young writers at the soup.......

egg yolk
watered down
lost taste through the words you
spoke. classic;
same thing so long
like breathing, strength never
known to the strong-
alone- confusion concerning
blood within the bone.
as time crawls over skin,
irritation interrupts,
disrupts the slinking passage,
coercing acknowledgement
out of sentiment....

The Ghost Of Man
   In a black dream,
  They appear to be,
   The Ghost of Man 
  An apparition, of multiple layers,
    Emotions, woven,
   In the blanket of Time,
    Trapped, within another frequency,
   Seeking recogition,
    And not sympathy,
   Vibrating,
    In the hope of acknowledgement,
   PLEASE LISTEN !...

LOVE is an emotion,
that sets life in virtual motion.
It needs an all acknowledgement,
take it without any resentment.
It,s knowledge to be given support,
all of us LOVE LOVE LOVE Report.
I can know the whole world with you,
and I complete the task all due.  8*8

I
Parts I and II juxtaposed "science versus faith."  Yet, both parents and politicians say "TRUST ME, I KNOW" ... the results lie in shards & dust all around this universe.

II
Faith is for your need, not your greed.

III
Faith feeds on thanks, as success feeds on acknowledgement (or validation). See Psalm 90. Shalom, shalom...

We read of so and so
and his sad ending,
then we remember more;
more people in a long story.

Sadness is a gesture,
an acknowledgement
that we knew all along
its time would come again
with a different face.

Most eulogies withdraw
into quiescence,
a sequestering of parables
told to rushing crowds
and the headlong years....

The ego performs...
It has won countless oscars.
It has a huge fan base.

But You, my Beloved God,
You plant invisible seeds
Sit back and watch them grow and flourish,
With no need for validation or acknowledgement.
With no need to be noticed or heard.

May you hold me in your humbleness,
My heart yearns to be here with You....

My aunt, who is nobody’s fool,
Has the attitude, slightly old-school,
That when giving a gift,
Though it gives her a lift,
Some acknowledgement should be the rule.

If a thank you is simply too hard,
Then her efforts seem, sadly, quite marred.
When next year rolls around
She will cover that ground
Sending nothing, except for a card....
