Premium Member Governor Pritzker Gives a Crap

Pritzker gleaned his mansion of crappers 
for the purpose of not paying taxes
but when his belly gurgled 
alleyways filled with his turds
a homeless gal just sat back and laughed

Welcome the Jungle

There is a strength not understood--
Something taught that we never should--
To cease this and end the searching--
For the purpose has turned to less--
And life you can no longer 2nd guess

Welcome the Jungle

Getting Nowhere Fast

If you stop running
from what is not chasing you
then you might
catch up to
what you are chasing

but really
we should live 
for the moment
the now
and for the purpose
of what we were
created for.

Trumped

He thought he was king of the pack
And told all his team he'd be back.
But what a kerfuffle
When after the shuffle
He found he'd no ace but a Jack!

Another Aged Pawn In An Equally Aged Circle

this passage contains coverage 
for the purpose of survival
where to turn next is not known

this sewer contains drainage 
for the purpose of pure release
what to burn next is not yet determined

this heart contains usage
for the purpose of nothing
how to fix what is left is still pending

Chlid Abuse

In my tattered cloth i walk through the streets with a big 
Tray on my head selling food while my mate dressed in
Their knited uniform going to school. For the purpose of 
Their future,  time to time, day by day i dream of joining 
My mate for the purpose of my future,  when i become 
A leader of tomorrow, i wil stop child abuse in Africa.

Siddhis or powers on us may be bestowed,
just as petals open of a blooming rose
but addiction to allurements is best stowed,
that poised in stillness and dwelling in repose,
we see there’s no purpose in tweaking the dream,
which in duality does endlessly stream,
save for the purpose of sharing love and light,
as a beacon of hope in darkness of night.

Love

Love is not a feeling. Love is an action, an activity... Genuine love implies commitment and the exercise of wisdom... love as the will to extend oneself for the purpose of nurturing one's own or another's spiritual growth... true love is an act of will that often transcends ephemeral feelings of love or cathexis, it is correct to say, 'Love is as love does'.

Why the World Is Crazy

It's crazy
not because of its nature,
but its people who makes it 
a hard place.
God created it
as a glorious place for everything
to enjoy.
He created the sun for the purpose
of light,
and then the clouds for the purpose
of rain to feed  all the plants.
But it's man who try to promote,
and sometimes create
what makes the world a bad place to live.

Break Through

Who knows 
how many 
layers
over
generations 
have been 
used. 
 
Sprayed on, 
and caked on, 
and smeared on
thick
for the purpose 
of covering
the truth. 
 
Oh ye who
through the ages 
have done this,
though 
your layers
be deep,
know this -
 
that the truth 
will break though. 
Not a thing
you can do. 
For all
of the truth
is his.

Love

God above's greatest gift is love.
When it's given as it was meant to be,
Not the heartless and empty way which
Professes love for the purpose of
Those who do not love themselves.
Love received into an empty heart
Temporarily breaks mine, but I can
Still love myself - still give love,
Never running out of the real thing.
To God of love, to thee I love to sing.

To Have No Name

Liberation from the strongest of bonds
From judgment
From classification
From belonging
To exist for the purpose of existence

The echoing voices, a hymn of dependence
Silent

To exist through actions alone
With no mark
No stain
No expectation

To move the world
Then be forgotten
To move the heart
And be remembered

In silence
Nameless
Eternal
Free

Live the Life

to live as you always should
                       be the best you can be
                                 pray for the purpose of life
                       opt out of the way of failure
                                 ignite the fire of motivation & inspiration
                       relight the fire in the soul
                                  to reclaim the life you are meant to lead

Small But Mighty

In a magical clearing just south of here,
There are fire breathing Dragons you will fear,
Their scales are sharp and their roars are shrilling,
The petite but strong Huffle-winks are there for the purpose of killing,
The horrid beasts that claim the land,
Riding on their Dragonflies hand in hand,
In the clearing size does not matter,
The tiny little heroes make evils plan shatter.

Promise Keepers.

The other night I met God again

and all of my friends from back home in the promise land.

They arrived the moment I announced my feelings of loneliness

And my wanting to gather with them

for the purpose of discussing

purpose.

They stood on each side of me forming a circle.

I clasped my hands together and fell into their knowledge, their confidence of rebirth

promising to share with my brothers and sisters.
