Premium Member peace proposal I

Jerusalem is Israel’s prize
Land in demand Jews idolize
A Palestine state
Is denied and will wait
For more war before compromise

Jerusalem artichoke
Haunch of venison,
Roasted rabbit ,stuffed with squid,
Ravioli rice,
Exquisite hybrid-
Well worth the
Price !

Seven Trails Cross Damascus

I'm never going to see
the great rhododendron giants
of Virginia
or yell"Hey Bear",
on the Appalachian Trail
seven trails cross Damascus
not one to Jerusalem.

Clear Warning

Stan was one of those insensitive blokes, 
who gorged on Jerusalem artichokes,
when gas formed in his gut,
he thanked God for a butt...
now the entire USA gags and chokes.

The Walls of Jerusalem

Sentinels keep watch 
On the walls of Jerusalem, 
Lord, protect and defend 
Your chosen people.

Were it in Haifa, one could understand
   or Tel Aviv by the shoreline, let ‘em pound sand

But in Holy Jerusalem, a ‘gay pride parade’ ~
   one is forced to conclude, there’s nothing sacred

I Will Praise the Lord

Favor shines upon you
Light and sword protects
Eternal grace and goodness
Engulf this heart 
Capture my tears
Capture my sorrow
Flame a hope eternal
The hope of Jerusalem


My first attempt at Parallelismus Membrorum

Distant Longing

Have all the water fountains run dry
Is the land desolate forever 
And what of that great city Jerusalem 
Mount Zion, the habitation of our God.

1983 Years Ago Yesterday

1983 years ago yesterday,
Jesus died in Jerusalem, 
Murdered by the government, 
For usurping and mayhem. 

Did Jesus die for you and me? 
Today in 2016, did he know us, 
Personally and with his mind? 
No! Certainly not, mind the fuss!

A Frog From Jerusalem

There once was a Frog from Jerusalem
     Who felt that racially all were against them;
     Right then a French Restaurant bade her to come in,
     Offered her money for her legs and to sell them. . .
     So she hopped quickly away to the streets again.

What I Imagine Blake Might Have Said Today

We behold thy gardens fair.
Say, to what do they compare?
And yet thy airs of fire and fume
have filled the world with noise of doom.
The sceptered isle that Shakespeare saw,
or Satan's realm by Milton's lore?
Jerusalem or Babylon,
Say, which art thou, Albion?

Jerusalem Or Babylon

We behold thy gardens fair.
Say, to what do these compare?
And yet thy airs of fire and fume
have filled the earth with noise of doom.
The sceptered isle that Shakespeare saw,
or the Satanic mills of Blakean lore?
Jerusalem or Babylon,
Pray, which art thou, Albion?

The Savior

Balassi Stanza

The Savior
By Lisa Noe*Cat2*

Mary was full of grace
She traveled to this place
Where she gave birth to Jesus
Joseph by her side
They left their home to hide
The Angel was a witness
They went to Jerusalem
To give the child freedom
To save the world for us

Ethereal Etheree

He 
led them
as far as
Bethany and
lifted up His Hands
and blessed them. He parted
from them and was carried up
into heaven.They worshipped Him
and returned to Jerusalem with
great joy praising and blessing God Amen.

A Griot's Purview

When we are young we are blind with eyes open wide
When we are old we know with hearts long shut
Our burden is not the push, but the world inside
Pray for Jerusalem, I always pray for the ****.
You are not young, nor old enough yet to know
Why white must always be the color fresh of snow.

For Those Who Will Never Know

May you rise like a Grecian hero, or Abraham's God
My other family weeps for Jerusalem; I murdered my education
Dreams had died under apartheid - I could not afford
The luxury of telling you these truths. Whispers of salvation
Cascaded in mists that promised to restore my Indian Ocean ...

History Mystery

With all the fighting going on today,
Friends are calling just to say,
"What can we do to lend a hand,
To help protect the Holy Land"?
 
There is no answer for this mystery,
Just take a lesson in our history!
  
Egypt is on the Continent of Africa
Jerusalem is on  the Continent of Asia

Weed Garden

WEED  GARDEN




A swell of marigolds lustily pushing aside the earth
New baby oak trees shooting up from their acorns
Tall crowd of Jerusalem artichokes waving wildly behind the gate
Rose bay willow herb sweeping  pink and blue banners to heaven
Lush and uncontrolled.
These are happy weeds.

Premium Member New Jerusalem

All things will be made new.
The past things are in the past.
Death and crying and pain are thru,
Decreed by GOD like a trumpet blast.

From heaven the new land will descend-
GOD’s dwelling for man in His holy city.
It is our new home built for love without end-
Robed as a bride divine and pretty.

Build a wall build a wall
Watch your country fall

Isolation of the country
Living is the land of me

China built a very fine wall
Into the world it couldn't stall

Israel built a Jerusalem wall
But the tunnels they did crawl

Men are like rats uninvited guest
Even American walls at their best

The Knowing

The knowing

They never knew a thing
They do not want to know.
It´s easier that way
Ignorance leads to Jerusalem.
Slow holocaust
The Palestinians know it 
You don´t want to know
It is easier that way.
You will never know
To point out the obvious
Is against the law
To talk about Israel´s
Criminality.

Wait

Waiting is never easy
Jesus knows it; he was away
Only until Easter (Sunday; Day 3)
Then taught for 40 days
Made way for the Holy Spirit

Yet he reminds us to WAIT!
No longer in Jerusalem or for His Kingdom
Wait to inherit the earth
Psalms are replete (14; 27;34;130)
I will wait upon the LORD; my souls waits ....
