Short Rebuked Poems

Washington in flux
Stimulus dollars squandered
Corporate big wigs laugh --
Ignorant approach rebuked
Voters cast out incumbents...

Sorrow and heart ache
Rebuffed, rebuked, pushed away
Edging on Nasty

Bad feelings surround and stun
Marriage done, over, kaput...

A jazz album whispers

false hopes arise
the bravado of lionhearts descend

only to be
swiftly rebuked
by insolence and apathy...

Punxsutawney Phil
sees his shadow in February
and says six more weeks of winter.

That same day the first moth
of spring lands on my storm door
and says, “Wrong, Phil. I’m here.”

His disciples were at sea in a storm,
when to Jesus they cried out in alarm:
   “The waves are too steep;
   awake from your sleep!”
So he rebuked the wind and there was calm.
 
Matthew 8.23-27...

Surrender a comfort,
ambition rebuked 
Content in my history,
old passions to suit

New mountains stay virgin,
those summits I’ve climbed
All truth in reflection
—whose peace I now find

anticipation
cradled in the arms
           of hope
lies in wait
      in the aisles
of the innocent mind;
so frail
steadily eroded
        by experience,
riffled by
    the wind of reality,
rebuked by
   a negative word...

Left the Synagogue
Went to Simons house
His Mother-in Law
Had a high fever
Jesus rebuked it

The people came
With much sickness
He layed his hands
And healed them all

Demons left
They shouted
Son of God

My Love
My Life

Healed...

JUST AN OLD MAN

There’s an old man;
No one loves him;
People just ignore him;
Rigid and cold, rebuked and scorn;
A lot of knowledge in him;
Did I mention no one knows him?
Just what is his name?
He’s the elder man that no one knows!!
Live or die he’s just an OLD guy!!

Sparrow perched on my head;
whispered to me in the ear;
“Come let’s go to Virgin Island
I’ll carry you on my back.
and you  will enjoy my turn
when I’m there right on your back.”
“Stop it,” I rebuked the mad bird
“How shall I conceive my babies?
by binary fusion?
by grafting?
is there Holy Spirit?
Devil, go away. 
Never tempt someone’s mistress again.”...

serene sea settles
seething sorrow of stressed souls---
sends Christ's “peace be still*.”

*Mark 4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.

Unaware the battle has been won,
      His every ounce of blood now gone
A fallen soldier lay upon the battlefield
      His might and power not to yield
Faithful, genuine, simple and pure;
      His honor required that he endure.
For those he fought, he did not hate
      His now to endures that tempted fate
Must he be deemed unduly and rebuked.
        His patriotism, honor and death resolute...

Foretelling his suffering and rejection
Jesus spoke of coming crucifixion.
     When by Peter rebuked,
     “By Satan you've been duped;
you're thinking with human perception.”

“If you lose your life for my sake you'll save it,
but gaining the world your life would be forfeit.
     For this worldly fame
     would put you to shame
when the Son of Man in glory abhors it.”

Mark 8.31-38...

Tendrils of absolute enthusiasm 
Ooze out of Chase, our new eager recruit.
Let me get your coffee, he says to McFhazm.
The hardest guy to impress, the first one to shoot.
You and your newfangled ideas down, we all held our breath.
Too bad for you now, warns our other intern, Young Seth.
We thought Chase was crazy, and would get rebuked away.
But instead, McFhazm made him a V.P. by the end of the day....

I am sorry                
O far snowy forests 
in her side 
I am 
sorry...               
As i travel today 
after long years 
The love's old ways 
I,                        
I just recall:           
I resisted her and 
rebuked              
Spit and slapped    
Rolled her wrist, 
pushed and 
thrashed          
While tears rolled 
down her flowery 
face                       
And how              
she had 
blubbering begged 
to go......

Trials Often Present Opportunities
Written: by Miracle Man
August 30, 2021

Jesus rebuked the wind and raging sea,
so I believe and accept what God has for me.
Sometimes things happen outside my norm,
and faith is tested as I encounter each storm.

I’ve tried Living life without undue misgiving,
accepting each trial, as a normal part of living.
When my storms come and troubles amass,
I know all storms end, and this too shall pass.

As I sip my coffee,
Taking the sunrise in
Wondering if this will be the day,
Jesus comes again

Listen for the trumpet sound
But silence surrounds
Not this moment of my day
When my feet won’t stay on the ground

Then reality of the present
Sent by Satan’s voice
Enters my thoughts
Taking away my choice

I rebuked Satan in a firm stand
I will listen for the call
And you can’t trick me into sin
"Pon Christ’s firm foundation I laid my all

Nocturnal anger claims the night,
Raging blows rained with might,
Vindictive tongues no truth in sight...
Feasted on carrion
As lies grow wings
Shallow perceptions
Matured not in spring,
To be clothed in white, And hate it sings...
Rebuked with blindness
On a day of sorrow,
When doors closed
Deprived of tomorrow,
To trudge in emptiness
in a world so shallow...
Bigotry is a venomous tree,
Its fruit brings so much misery,
In a world supposed to be free...
Such is bigotry......
