Nurture Self Sufficient Culture

Nurture Self Sufficient Culture

Had always wanted to try and nurture,
What became some self-sufficient culture,
God had made;
Will not fade;
We can endure and save our souls for sure.

Called

Believe in yourself and believe in
others we are in a covenant like
other.

Do not be self sufficient and self
absorbed. We are called to live for 
so much more.

We are constantly being transformed
by grace for lord Jesus and the 
Fathers glory.

Premium Member Beautiful Boy

My sweet, sweet boy I just miss you
I have an emptiness within
Unable to see or touch you
Is so  incredibly punishing 

Now a self sufficient man
How it’s meant to be
Your age will never change 
Just who you are to me
“My beautiful boy”…..
 
My sweet ,sweet boy I just miss you!

Jonah - Chapter 10, Verses 68-69, Holy Koran

They say, Allah has got a son!
Whereas He is the Most Sacrosanct 
And the Self-Sufficient One.
Everything that is in the skies 
And the earth belongs to God.
You have no proof to show!
Do you allege about Allah what you don’t know?

Say, whoever fabricates lies against Allah the Truthful
Will never ever be successful.


In My Mind a Manikin

In My Mind A Manikin

In my closet a manikin will find
Always remaining in my mind;
Memory like her will never forget;
Though now gone and do regret.

She always has been self-sufficient
With quietness her time she spent
Only an image someone once made
Whose memory into passed did fade.

Premium Member On Self-Sufficiency

To be self-sufficient is an admirable trait Not needing to depend on anyone is great Being able to set one’s own course each day Free to express opinions, to have one’s say In my way of thinking opens heaven’s gate.

Embracing Earth

Earth's
magnificent
bounties
reaching
across
continents,
Igniting
natural
growth.

Erasing
all
relevance
to
humanity.



* We should embrace earth, for it can thrive without us, whereas we are not so self sufficient.

The Dread of Dead Birds

The dread of dead birds
In the ambient of a stake-out
Is the song of blood

Exists
A slightly higher pitched thought
Like the distances
Lave themselves with silence

Sail away eyes down Attila's ill-whirlpools
Dig out the birds
Which are self-sufficient
Convinced
That the most beautiful voices
Reach
From dead lines in the ground

We need them
At the beginning and the end of love
We always summon them then

Pink Flamingos

Can anything be better
then a pair
of plastic pink Flamingos?

necks slinking gracefully
as a swan
glides upon calm waters.

Steel spindles
established firmly in soft soil:

          No food
          No care
          No toil

so self -sufficient.

And should I mention
the beauty
they display
until incessant sun rays
begin to fade
pink bodies away

Can anything be worse
then a washed out pink Flamingo?

Remiscient of Concupiscient

Concupiscent is from Middle English, from Old French, from Late Latin concupiscentia, from Latin concupiscens, concupiscent-, present participle of concupiscere, inchoative of concupere, to desire strongly : com-, intensive pref.; see com- + cupere, to desire.


Memories come back and are reminiscent,
Of being highly effective and self-sufficient;
Did adapt,
With no mishap,
Also, as well as efficient and concupiscent.

Dear Stranger

I felt your presence
I was aware
My heart was reaching
I saw you there

Skin of leather
Weathered bones
Mind, together
Yet all alone

Self sufficient
You had it covered
My need to help
Might have smothered

Your will to push
Willing persistence 
Strive for pride
I kept my distance 

I swept along
As though, aloof
A busy lady
With sense and cooth

The moment passed
You moved on
I stayed a while
Though you were gone
Form: Rhyme

I

I,
A solitary expression of monumental proportions,
The sum of all parts with extra to spare,
The word and the meaning at once,
Selfish and lonely,
I,
When it's me, I am everything,
When it's you, I don't care,
All for one, and one for one,
The cart before the horse,
I,
Self-reliance, self-sufficient,
Self-effacing, self-indulgent,
Self-absorbed, self-righteous,
Self-made, self-important,
But without you,
I don't exist.

Premium Member Christ's Total Suffiency

This world thinks it is
a self sufficient lot
but it's terrible state
shows it's in such a rot

There is hope for it
for there is sure suffiency
in the one true saviour
who has shown His great abundancy

For if this world would turn
to look upon their only hope
the living Christ would receive them
rescuing them from their slippery slope

Christ indeed is all sufficient
for all that on Him call
He will save those He chose
leaving none to fall

FREE TREE CM

          Tree does not care for anyone.
          Free tree stands on its own
          depending only in nature,
          prepares food by itself.
           
        Wish to be self-sufficient
       No uncertainty.
     There inside my head the tree speaks
       to run on full freedom.
