Premium Member Father's Font Fructified

Frequent famines, furrowed foreheads, faint
Father's font fructified, free flowing
fare for fragile famished families
finally fullness, faith
freedom from fervent fraught


Slippery Slope

SLIPPERY SLOPE



If the world’s intentions
Were turned into actuality
Wars, famines, infections
Would cease to be reality



Our broad highway is not internet
But icy blackness without brakes
For most there is no safety net
But there must  be  - for all our sakes

He Sowed Seeds

He relentlessly sowed seeds
Everyone laughed at his deeds
Now that place is a forest
Home to exquisite birds and their nest

Everyone plucks the fruits for free
No one in its vicinity goes hungry
Crops flourish, rain abounds
No famines, no floods in surrounds

Air is fresh, all are healthy
For in wisdom one person was wealthy

Premium Member My Love Is Yours-

My love is like a warm; 
Yet cool Autumn breeze;

My love will never ever leave;
I shall acknowledge you ever beyond death; 

During the wars and famines; 
Mine is my minds secure;

And not observed often examined;
My love from God is yours;
My spirit and soul mine is yours;

There is war and rumors of wars...are they MAD?



Matthew 24:6-13 NIV
6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. 7 Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8 All these are the beginning of birth pains.

MAD: Mutual Assured Destruction:

Imperfect Design Part 1

We are as humans, are an imperfect design.
We kill;
each other never for good reason.
We destroy;
ourselves with drugs and alcohol 
We consume;
So much that others go without 
We are our own worst enemy.
We lead each other into war, for land we don't need.
We start famines, when we have enough for everyone.
We create diseases, and then don't try to make cures.
We will lead to our own self destruction.
There is no cure, for us.

Sigh of Ages

Long moan to the morning sun
shift and creak,
stone shifting to greet the day.

Moss creeping inch by inch,
slithering bit by bit
absorbing the stone.

Century by century
standing witness to time,
lives come and go.

If these walls could talk
stories of royalty and rouges,
feasts and famines.

Stone soaked in blood
moat filled with water and waste,
tapestries of past deeds.

Shades of past
haunting the halls,
trapped in timeless wails.
