Measure of Manhood

The real measure of manhood depends solely on his relationship and 
submissiveness to God not about his money and how well he gives wood.

Choosing Faithfulness Grace and Love
God your words be remembered
Your words lessons in life
The words of learning and living
Sometime simply not forgiving
Yet I confess in my submissiveness
I believe in Christ
Sometime I simply not listening
Yet God keeps testing
Within all that I'm confessing
I am blessed

My
country
Canada
True North, strong, free
a land of beauty
prosperity, riches
subservient to no one
welcoming to just...everyone
but do not mistake our kindness
for passivity or submissiveness.

I Want For You

I want you to be passionate
About what you eat, see, pray, feel, love
And even what you despise

I want you to be so much more
Than normal, routine and acceptable
I want you to thrive

I pray that you're deliciously intense
Feeling raw and real emotion
submissiveness is tragic

Numbness is more severe than pain
Though emotions may sting
The experience of life is magic

Hippies

So succinct 
To watch the eyes blink
Under cover of sleep
In shadow turn's 
The night burn's 
Psychedelic vision's in miles
Of open fields 
Dancing the breeze
Beyond the tree's 
Guitar's strum the chords of gun shot
Flower petals 
The band play astray
Festival mud and free love
To blistered children 
Drug beaten into submissiveness 
Reciting dead poet's 
Works of post art haze
In a glaze of Glory


Jumbo

Wrenched from bushland
To London Zoo, they labelled you
“Jumbo” – fed you by hand.
 
African Wonder! You were feted,
Reduced to spectacle,
Humorous vehicle,
And otherwise humiliated.
 
Submissiveness turned to rage;
Branded dangerous;
A threat to all of us! –
And so condemned to Barnum’s cage.
 
Now your sad name’s applied
To all your related
Who’re captured, subjugated;
Dignity, majesty: all denied.
