Premium Member Her Name Is Journey



You are destined to go places;
Preferably God-centered places
Reached via roads less traveled.

The few that blaze such God-centered 
Places are fixated and permeated
With a strong sense of purpose.

Moreover, when traveled, onlookers
And bystanders are quick to distract,
Which may cause traverlers to subtract,

Losing traction as well as losing
Sìght of their God given purpose.
But may you be ever focused, never
Slowed nor tempted to switch tracts.

May any who oppose you be the
Amunition that only recharges you.
May nothing said or done cause a discharge.
Your name is Journey. Full speed ahead!

Tall Slim Ladies Are Specs Most Men Attract

Tall slim ladies are specs most men attract
Claimed to look down people, heights subtract-
Appealing breast and buttocks 
Hands hold not; mouth barely sucks
Without stress-- love and ego interact...

Time was when

Words vouched for my good
Made me sulk, feel very bad
In days of childhood.
Today, things do make me sad
Which, dwelling deep do I brood.

We call it old age
When we subtract more than add
Things on life’s last page,
Dwell on days we once felt glad,
Also on days we felt mad.

Word Problem:  
What is the political
and economic
and moral difference
between a -1 communist concentration camp
and a +1 capitalist detention camp?

Hint: 
Probably the same Christian taxpayer difference
between 
-0 (emptiness):
 
SUBTRACT empowering hope
for a healthy democracy,
Red and Yellow
Black and White
they are precious
in His sight

and
+0 (fullness): 

ADD disempowering despair
of stealthy stupid kleptocracy,
pitching Red against Yellow
Black against White
liberal SkyBlue anthropocentric dreams
against conservational EarthGreen realities

Economically unsafe 
and politically unhealthy 

MotherEarth
laid to waste,
dark stark global disrepair.

Capitalist detention camp distinctions
without communist concentration camp differences

DeGenerative World Problem UnSolution:
a +1 v -1 Total-itarian risk.

ReGenerative Word Problem ReSolution:
a Win/Win +0 and -0 CoBinary 
Making Earth Great Again
healthy democratic CoIntelligent 
ecological-economic opportunity.

PERFECT TEACHER

The perfect teacher 
is not the one who teaches you 
to add and subtract. 

The perfect teacher 
is not the one who explains
 how you should write. 

The perfect teacher 
gives tools to feel, 
grow, think, and love. 

My perfect teacher 
show me how to do it, 
I will remember her
        always, 
                   in my life.

Extraordinary Forecast


When you row with vibes,
You tend to lose more value...
Outside some notable tribes,
That always pressure to argue.

When you seek attention off reason,
You could definitely lose affection... 
Without reckoning title or season,
That holds no clear motive to suspension.

When you appear to attract,
Probability stakes no idea to stand...
You would defend to subtract,
While you fail to flow as planned.

When life hits raw so plainly,
You could feel sour seeming cool...
For the worst that seems best mainly
Rides on a low above distant fool.

While love fits your heart,
Lust might lurk around trust...
Driving hatred to impart,
Beautiful mind till you can't adjust.


Premium Member Time

I know the mechanics of Time --
easy enough to add and subtract.  
Division a realm we can calculate; 
but, when it comes to continuity, it is 
an age old question -- Our human heart, 
an imperfect perfect example: beats can 
be quantified; but feelings have a strange math
all their own...often outside of
measurable reason.  Having no
consensus on 
                  which 
                       one 
                          can count....

                                           Subtract
                                        to add to life,
                             away from food and things
                           to a stronger bond with Spirit
                                    for higher vibrations,
                                        go fast away
                                            to God

Stumble

Lord knows that I'm trying,
everyone's selling and I'm still buying,
it's like my feet won't lift to prevent my stumbles,
every move forward my stature crumbles,
lean not on my own understanding,
do this and life won't be so demanding,
*For I am all too human, the trouble is with me,
subtract that factor will give the solution to be,
a Word is written to answer my question,
a Word to begin a birth and end in a resurrection,
surrender to Him to never stumble,
a joyous life which can never crumble.

*Romans 7:14

Ballad of tom and foolery

Sometimes the society will  let say or make it's 
    trespassings and roads and clings to them like lovers 
   sometimes clinging to bed and like tom on one side 
  and foolery on the other. 
  Such may be the nature of the world elsewhere 
 what is wrong to add and subtract let say something 
   there in. 
 Ah!  sometimes behold a beautiful scenario blossoming?.

Lifelong chess game

16 July 2024  6:57 AM

Morning contemplations a life long game of chess
Planning my every move and weighing consequence

Choices made and more to come
Second by second sun to sun

I hear time ticking in the back of my mind
Tick tick tock tock an irregular rhythm sublime

Time is not steady as one may think
It speeds up and slows down many times in a blink

So I must plan carefully every single move
Every thoughts solution I must consider and prove

So many variables in this complex equation 
So many to many for every occassion 

I add multiply divide and subtract
Every detail rumor and fact

Every tid bit of knowledge and information
To form my own opinion my own soveriegn nation 

Existing only in my mind 
King of nothing but wasting time

I think there for I am
Such is the life of man

Premium Member Guess I'll Be Me

Before, when I was afraid to be me,
I looked at others and tried to be a copy.
Mimic all their motions, 
repeat the same moves...
Maybe then I can follow all their rules?
I tried to not be so different, so lame, 
but being a replica just wasn't the same! 
No matter how hard I would try,
 all my hellos looked like goodbyes!
My left was a little too right, 
my dark had too much light.
All my stands were full of sitters, 
my all alones had visitors!
I learned following where others lead, 
will never let your YOU be free!
So I'll be the ‘You’ who was made exactly.
I won't let others additions subtract me.
I'll allow my no mores to be agains,
I'll be just exactly who I am!

Premium Member GOD’S VOICE

Hear me
I can subtract and multiply
That’s why I am called Thy
The Great I AM
Certain questions I will not answer
Believe in me
Always pray
Faith is the key
Assurance is the plus
Spiritual a must
I can lead your way
I know about you that you don’t know
Your time is not my time
I am the when, how and fulfill
My will
I sit high, but look below
I am the spiritual flow
You need to know
My goodness is superior
Don’t let Satan to cause you to be inferior
Encouragement sound
I am always around
Live and learn, and you will see
I am no secret
Have no fear
I am always near
When in doubt pray about
Chosen spoken words

Wealth

H•aving it is worth more than gold
E•ating to live and not living to eat invigorates 
     the body and soul
A•bstaining from deleterious things that are meant to 
     subtract from life 
L•iving naturally and adding while absconding from 
     strife
T•he more you add to your essence the more robust you 
     feel
H•onoring self through exercise, nutrition, and meditation is  
     how you heal
