Where's wisdom then wealth?

Great detriment to my health!...

By pandering to the greed of the controlling minority....

empowers him

But usually end up
To my detriment out dressing the bride...

Sacred thoughts
for normal minds, 
quoted books, nothing here,
being hard headed, staying
with the norm, no matter the
detriment, turns into comedy.

Only mince words for society’s detriment.
Mollycoddle youth for the future’s corruption.
Beware of using political correction,
society’s wormwood; overdose for descent. 
Today’s apocalypse is due to discontent....

I was able to find joy in detriment. 

To an extent, I did not lament-

The future that was left blue. 

As my past seemed to turn a different hue.

Why is it that I must not have hope?

For a future where I can thrive and not have to cope?...

*****Never quote' Scripture to an Idiot'.  Fore he will always' have

It didn’t matter the detriment or the law,
What was confiscated was our freedom.
Love is a warrior.
Time is the enemy.
Make friends with your enemies
Knowing they win in the end.
That’s why humor is so sacred.
See we are not so insufferable, after all.
All around us is love and momentous light....

Conundrum 

Modern medicine 
Quick evacuation of wounded soldiers 
On the battlefield 
Keep the death rates of warriors down
And we accept the losses.

But it also makes wars last much longer 
To the detriment 
Of civilians caught up in countries where 
Warfare happens. 
 And civilian deaths are disregarded....

She’s fighting me all the way.
She won’t hear it.
It’s a definite detriment, 
to the spirit.

Perhaps it’s the way 
I’m presenting it,
She wastes our time,
just resenting it.

The Lord somehow
Has me in training,
and uses these heartaches,
for explaining.

“There, there now,
  My little fool,
  It’s so simple,
  My Golden Rule.”...

The power you acquire is bound to destroy you 
When not in rhythm with the force that inhabits 
You are beyond the physical that seems to rule 
That which resides within has superior authority 
It must be obeyed or catastrophes result 
To the detriment of those who challenge the force
From where the mundane was created for fun...

One upon time dream fly

Despot power consume two buy

Eager three meager often astray

Medial elegance detriment four-way

Indistinguishable few high fives

Incontestable ignorance compose new lies

Wonder full wonder no wonder we bill

Interest no interest concern will for free real

A farewell never passed
Our valediction lost to the winds
A lifetime of rage and anguish
Flowing hotly upon the detriment
And breaching.
Though not without conflict
It is under the shadow of war
Within these shattered burnt ruins 
Remains the anguish
Of sixty three years
A recollection that seeps into the void
Of my spirit
Haunting my sleep…...

Involute ascendency of an omniscient detriment encased a 
crystalline fragility fragmenting. Yearning a periphery absolved 
stains the insidious chronicle red. A fading feeling of self 
treason is absolute utopia asunder. Subtly i digress yet 
paramount is this polarity diverse within me. Caged withing a 
translucent spirit my voracious depths untold stagnate abound....

Beg not assumption - not entail
that love for Thee does not assail
but wears Faith proudly to exhale
receding not my own avail!

Love's holding on, measured by ounce
does not wear time as captioned flounce.
Forever biding, stealth not pounce
as waiting, tithe the absenced mount.

Now's detriment - as weight denounce -
Love's measure lightens - bounce by bounce!...

My smoking has spread cancer
All over me now
Still my strength's the answer
I'm not shutting down
Growing larger everyday
The rumour of my tumour
They need to cut it out
But I'm still in a good humour
Living each day
One at a time
You want to see me dead?
Well I guess I don't mind
Not blind to the detriment of my health
First you must be poor to appreciate wealth...

Time to touch the forbidden button 
Years of searching for its location 
Time is not on my side 
Countless hours dedicated for a split decision 
My youth hindered my coordination 
Going left, knowing I wasn't right 
An unattainable reaction drove me to my detriment 
For the button remains a mystery, 
Never to be found by the common man
It lies dormant until awakened by the extraordinary...

Years of constant searching for its location

Going left, knowing I wasn't right

For the button remains a mystery

FUNERAL
Stop imbibing,
so much.
It is my funeral,
isn`t it?
These damsels,
will be your end.
It is my funeral,
isn`t it?
That crowd,
will be your detriment.
It is my funeral,
isn`t it?
Brawls and altercations,
cannot get you far.
It is my funeral,
isn`t it?
This is not,
the way.
It is my funeral,
isn`t it?
If that is what,
you want.
Then certainly it is your funeral,
isn`t it?

If only nil were beauties time
my fault of core, would not be thine
when guessing faith, I must be blind
to heresy's imposed refine.

Composing registrars divine
scenes shortage as the prayer in bind,
my gross performance carry's lined
percussion to resolve unkind!

Some modesty's avail resigned
a detriment, yet effort's prime
offensiveness percentage climbs
and gross contend is "never mind!"

Let's rearrange the paradigm....

This seedling's disarrange, nearing at fence
wanting to grow under, to condense,
is oft my own heart's wondering's expense,
a sorrow, deep inside from loving hence.

And if some joy would  borrow, show nonsense
then try to climb or furrow, cause offense.
I ask forgiveness' marrow, strength to cleanse
my foolishness in Thee - this detriment.

And thank thee, for thy stalwart implement -
the knowing of thy loving heart's presence!...

Today, I sit 'mongst thoughts of erstwhile sorrows,
Which intermittently ooze from my intellect's hub;
Reminiscing three young men granted no tomorrows,
Bequeathing displeasing whispers I'd like to scrub.

Reopened today, are aggrieves, from past years,
In seemingly blameless doings they were caught;
Causing a mother's eyes to be ensconced with tears
Exposed was man's detriment to sin's onslaught.


in memory of three young men from my town....
