It's no longer common
unlike years ago
What once was sound judgment
today no one knows
Selfish and addled
and atrophied minds
are prone to suggestions
with evil designs
And scarce is discernment
it's known by but few
who march to their own beat
so simple, yet true
Away from the darkness
straight into the light
Their path may be lonely
but at least it is right
While staring at cell phones
as batteries drain
the minds of the masses
go slowly insane
Up is now down
and west is now east
The world has turned over
and madness increased
The zombie apocalypse
has surely arrived
Pray history shows
that a few shall survive
For they are the ones
who have uncommon sense
in an age where such things
are of no consequence

A sagebrush is a subshrub with bitter juice.
A sage is a mature or venerable person of sound judgment.
BITTERNESS
O bother and surrender!
Bitterness, I tell to hush.
The devil’s a mind bender,
but God’s an artist with a sage brush.

Rabbits at junctions are often akin to moons at traffic lights. A light lunch is preferable to a whisky scone when taking a picnic to a lake. But playlists can play so font argue with a flamed fortress of fig. Tailoring a suit for a nine foot bead and dazzling s crowd with a one millimetre tiara is not a sound judgment for a counting ball. 1 2 3 then. Radio that on a one kilometre hand held microphone. Hahahahaha the skipping rope is jumping in a hula hoop today. Lovely. It is not the way of the feathered cloud to land in a field fuelled upside-down but a gridlocked four dimensional satanic bowler hat can swim many acres in a spotted swimsuit. Good. Underpasses underwater underground undertake uniquely unequal unisons. And a proxy is neither productive nor normal. Statutory static authorisational code bringing wine to a ball room. Fantastic news for the pillar. Geranium gathering giblets. And a pie. Wow. Xxxxx destitution demon demonstrated dogmatic dramas digging. Xxxxxx counter intelligence and no matter. Xxxxx miscommunication Z

In darkness, the mind comes short
Gullible to any item offered, and
Not an excuse for self underdevelopment
Obnoxious in the gathering of knowledge
Rationality greatly fractured and invalid
And then lost in the puzzle of understanding
Never near a sound judgment, because it
Cannot sieve random information which
Ends with a sense of powerlessness

in silence I wait
in silence I break
in silence I seek
for your love,
in silence I weep
in silence I adored you
in silence I averted my heart from you
in silence I come with a renowned adoration
will you adhere to it
Or, will you omit it
In silence my heart stood still
the thought of you comes against my will
Deny me not
Let the soul take flight
To what heights, to the gaze out of sight
For eternal love we crave
Our feeble hearts who shall save
For love had blinded the soul
And shunned all logic out the door
To utter what cant be said
Words left unspoken
Our hearts laid out like a token
On paper &ink
Came a gush of feelings unsaid
As i catch his gaze,
Abashed I look down
Such a feeling to me
Are anew and so profound.
As my sound judgment takes flight
In silence my heart stood still
the thought of you comes against my will
in silence I averted my heart from you
in silence I come with a renowned adoration
And also in silence,
I renew my vows with my heart for you

Audacious individuals lack sound judgment
Blow-hard opinions vastly inflates ego
Confidence is exceedingly overwhelming
Delusions of grandeur are clearly evident
Engaged in destructive selfish behavior
Factitious self-importance dilutes potential
Gratuitous toxic actions contaminate the collective consciousness
Hedonistic mindset hinders humanity

Lock out straight mad Doctrine based on
reality disappear long long ago, so
be it to seeth Actions in beast not altered
magazines strewn about fault of incompetence
driven gloom in overcast, drawn out
multitudes terrorized by norm elsewhere they
terrorized by multitudes. But puppet
skip ‘long line in tune with some Sense of Truth
ungiven when to be Governed is to Accept Untruth,
scatter about world witness to this play
acted out with tremendous effort towards end, Peace,
be Vulgar manage yet overall Gods of Scriptures ruin
Earth. Injury to Foe Enemy Sound Judgment and
Reason relative to the individual based on prudence.
Dreamt shattered plastic last night, still recollect
many wish forget; But this stays with: In Freedom
under is SLAVERY absolute; Mass stay indifferent.

IN THE NAME OF GOD
So much is said and done
In the name of God
For good, for evil
To give credit or blame
Who are we to use
The name of the Holy One
God Most High
To explain our own actions
Which may be righteous
Or on the contrary
Only a deception
Of what is truly
The will of God
Care must be taken
To avoid misrepresenting
The Creator
Judgment for idle words
Abusing one another
And God’s name
His character defamed
Lies believed brings destruction upon many
Ignorance rules in the heart of
The unredeemed, the unrenewed
Even the knowledgeable
Often lack sound judgment
But in the end
God will not be mocked
And His truth
Will be evident to all
