Jesus' Suffering
Burn it, burn it to the ground The crowd shouted at Jesus on the tree How cruel can anyone possibly be To make One suffer as He looked down at me He eyes grew dim, He wouldn't last In the night to heaven He went home To be with His Father in all of His glory God came to save Him, He's...

MAKE POWER LOVE AND IT CAN BE SHARED
What truly is power Is it control or the silence that follows it? Is it born from bullets and broken promises Or from the love we dismiss as weakness? Can power ever be shared like bread split between hungry Sudanese hands as if leadership were a meal the poor can taste in equal halves? Or is power what poisons the soil the reason Sudanese...

IF SATAN HAD SAID SORRY
If Satan had said sorry My hunger wouldn’t haunt me daily I’d breathe in peace And sleep without the weight of worry. But pride made him defiant He traded my hope for his ego Now I walk through life unknown With doubt as my shadow. If Satan had said sorry Maybe God would still feel near And grace wouldn’t hang from a cross Paid in blood...

Suffering
Suffering How are you supposed to grow if you don’t suffer? If you don’t enjoy the pain, then you won’t be able to move forward. All the hard days are worth the results. Today is a new day to hurt even more. I remember having my first compliment. Be one with the iron and become...

Premium Member What does it mean to witness suffering and feel it burn inside you
What does it mean to witness suffering and feel it burn inside you, not as gentle empathy, but as a deep-rooted and screaming indictment? There is a boy who carries cement as I carry metaphors — without question, without choice, without allowing himself the luxury of another option, only with a resignation sculpted in silence. He is not a...

We Are Here
We are here sorrowfully happy We are here crying and smiling We are Rich only on TV We are Rich only on newspapers. Where are they says the leaders Give them the remnants to eat They deserves a natural glass of wine And something to take as protein.

Watchers in the Gloom
To that shadowed city round Come those that are sorrow bound In their multitudes alas Through a Terminus so vast For a city grim enabling Their eternal laboring From the parapets looking down Cold and timid souls abound To shed their tears in torment rife That shed they not for all their life And from the masses on the wall Does that gentle misery fall It...

Interview with an Angel After a long surgery brewed in urgency, I lie supine with the body pining with fury With eyelids nearly closed seeking divine mercy To deliver me from the painful misery. I seemed to have besought His grace for lengthy hours When...

Premium Member Samsara - May 7
Now quiet, settled, easy, leisurely through life’s affairs,—say, couched in everyday— and sipping being’s sweetest, freshest ray; Sunshine!, Sunshine! ‘midst winter’s coldest glee! Now troubled, disjointed, uneasily fumbling, scrambling through dumb frowning time.—Gray- -haired night’s murk weighs down gay light’s mirth filled play...— tumbling through summer’s scorching cruelty! An inescapable alternation of gloom and cheer,(to be—and—not to be), wheeling circles and cycles—infernal,— recur, relapse, return...

Do not build a ladder when I fall into the abyss I did not call for climbing The thorn in me is not a riddle to be solved, nor a window begging repair I am thunder — not your project; I am rain that needs witness, not your umbrella When I say I’m...
