Premium MemberGender denying'

Well here we see that something is hot? About as real as
As the (tailpipe an e v's got?) The subject matter is what
You have got.' Either man or woman? Is what i consider?
And whether what is not.' Is what?  And why are some termed non binary? Yet are So
Het up on genders.? All in all its such a mind bender! its
Like they want to drink alchol.' Yet be de-intoxicated as they
Do?
Seem absorbed by genders.? That should not be narrated?
By me or you' or any reality defenders.)
Is there anything above?about them; i have missed ?
Maybe they could have a catheter bladder to head
Orifice inserted; so they could vent better ( when feeling
Really pressed.?)

The Questions

Why does no one care?
Why are we here?
Why should we love if it only results in heartbreak?
Why do we run for purpose, to be only crushed by the crowd,
Killing you with every word.

What is good and bad?
What would happen if the two interchange?
Would we collapse or find new meaning within?
Why do we fall in love like we sleep,
Slowly then all at once?

Why must we be blamed and hurt even when it wasn’t our fault?
Be termed insane and excluded from all,
For only pushing past the boundaries of society,
Only because they’re afraid of what they’ll find.

Why must we lie, knowing it will only hurt us more?
Why do we let ourselves be entangled into the webs of love?
By merely following a voice,
And knowingly signing up for pain that can’t be reverted.
Why do we go into lengths to prove ourselves worthy to those
who we love,
And to those who don’t know our worth?

Why do we kill ourselves with the horrors we plague?
Hoping for a sliver of joy,
and a notion that the other side would be better in every way,
Than the suffering I endure everyday.

Premium MemberZen mode

after waking up from trance like sleep
which may be termed as a consciousness leap
life as impulsed goes on as before
but distanced from outcomes we keep no score 
being drenched in bliss currents that do not abate
nonchalance is our offered response to fate

Premium MemberIn The Cycle of Existence

    Big Bang exploded in void Cosmos.
    Instant happenstance of Start
    of Space -Matter- Time 
    from compressed Energy
    initiating Cycle of Existence.

    Life somehow sprouted from non living sources
     resulting versatilities in Nature.
     Soul staying in slumber state
     was ignited in the cycle of existence.

    Dormant consciousness hidden in soul
     starts in womb through birth
     termed as ‘Life’.
     ‘Life’ continues to run till ‘Death’
      transcending to ‘After -Life’ phase
      and streaming in cycle of existence
      obeying conservation of energy.

      Each soul is framed to
       fit somewhere in cycle of existence 
       within closed contour 
       of Pre - Present - After Life :
       Subject to Evolution,
      
       Energy -Space - Matter - Time
       Life - Consciousness- Soul :
       Each rolling rippling
       in the Cycle of Existence.

Pain of separation

Painful among pains is separation
that will throw yourself into desperation 
no matter the time of it
it's more harmful than a hissy fit
It's a kind of desperation 
Oh! A very painful situation 
Either it’s a two-legged man
that you have termed as human
or a four-legged man
that you tamed with humane
If it leaves once 
and never comes
pain remains in heart
and often saddens a lot

Oh we

Oh we righteous striving to cease being sinners
Do we fight with the aim of being winners 
When the fight goes on and on
Seemingly a curse on every eon 
That to find earthly favor and treasure 
The upright endure labour and pressure 
Pressing with weariness and attrition 
Aiming to edge us out of culture and conviction 
Make hard the good and easy the evil
That the ungodly may be termed civil 

Sight is easy but faith is best
So shall the Christian enter into rest
The battle belongs to the Lord 
His Majesty and Might that we cannot afford 
Affords us to be still and know 
As He bolsters our faith and makes a public show 
For us and for those who ask “Where is your God?”
And so are we comforted by His staff and rod
That ye shall stand and witness His deliverance 
And the testimony always lace your utterance

Premium MemberDNC Chairman's Convention Song

    ‘Tis the season for a convention
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la
    Fear and angst and apprehension
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la

    Will the protests turn to riots
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la
    How to keep those loonies quiet
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la

    What if there’s an assassination
      Fa-la-la-la-la-la  la-la-la
    I hope it’s just my imagination
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la

    Maybe it’s something I just ate
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la
    But it sure feels just like ‘68!
      Fa-la-la-la-la  la-la-la-la

    DNC = Democratic Party National
    Convention, in Chicago this week

    '68 = 1968 DNC that erupted into
    what the media termed a 'police

    unkempt hippie and yippie pro-

Premium MemberPlace On Earth God Named

It can even be misconstrued as ... A.I. 
Mayhaps 'Creation', hm ... read it again. 
I know Adam was chosen to lead off in that direction and all those after him--and nobody said stop, not even after the planet Mars, a name attributed a deity.

Jerusalem grant stemmed
Bethlehem be condemned

What kind of God He is 
having no teachers His

hm?

The shores of Galilee
sea Peter faith fell he

Galilee be Dead Sea
Peter sunk not to be

A Calvinist earn claim
Horeb like Sinai same

Divergence flanks said he
East West faces they'd be

Eden's Garden not His
we post-label purpose

God name no Earth places

WATCH

Is it my imagination,
Or just frustration,
About the state of the Nation.

Has mainstream media moved on from being sneaky,
And can now be termed creepy.

Do you not find see WATCH as the lead into any story,
That is creepy, or nasty creepy,
Just plain creepy,
When you feel sleepy,
And open to the media tricks that were sneaky,
But now quite creepy.

I think it is time for a most creepy award,
For media across the board,
For enticing those who are bored,
To spread the word,
That free board,
In jail is easily found,
When creepy and nasty abound,
To turn a life that is sound,
Into one that sees them hell bound,
As they watch what should never be copied above ground, 
When evidence is all around,
That copying of what is creepy and nasty is easily found.

Premium MemberThe Magic of Worthwhile

Writers write to master the minds
like mine to master, be thines,
5th century Greek writers Patriarch
Herodotus, Thucydides and Plutarch.

They savor the flavor, 'Land Battles', be
Persia and Greece, intro 5th century.

Persian priests', called it magosh, then,
Greeks termed the word magoi when
it changed to mageia and then magika,
hence, precedes that illusion, magical. 

The battle itself was a point of focus,
but in reality, 'twas an uprising tempest,
all that matters merely meant confusion,
purpose the word, magic, sort of illusion.

At the start, a keen preceptor will take,
while the rest, smoke and mirror, mistake
goal to amuse, jam and jelly seize a fainted
a riddle connects the dots, numbers painted
a true picture of the taken as the takers smile
'MAGIC', those who knew & misknew, worthwhile.

Premium MemberMETAMORPHOSIS

      From egg to larva or caterpillar 
      emerging to pupa or chrysalis,
      comes nice butterfly : process seems thriller.
       Transformation termed metamorphosis. 

     Womb to birth : next phases of life to pass
     fooled by deep delusion or illusion
     on continued efforts to surpass 
     ignorance, reaching illumination.

     Sometimes life floating or sinking in lust ,
      embowered by selfishness and malice
      waiting for full formation to out burst.
     Consciousness to wake, not being enticed.

       When misdirected, going through crisis,
       Blessings from above are sure to shower.
       Cosmic cycle on metamorphosis.
       Universe holds energy and power.
      
       Like free butterfly to suck pure nectar:
        After demise, soul on bilocation,
       sips divine wine in different sector :
       Metamorphosis with evolution.

Premium MemberBorn In Original Sin ie: BIOs

Statuesque breaths of blossoming beauty bearing thorns.
Flowing fullness of fragrant flowery affairs sheathing weeds.
Without human intervention, such is the truth of nature, such are the facts of life.
According to the scriptures, angels are not earthbound lest they are tasked by Heaven's will.
I, like my family, had fine points and faults, I did good and I did bad, and I did my best to right my wrongs and correct my mistakes like my family did when they were earthbound.
I have painted the truth and not tainted it with flowery falsifications.
My family and I were never angels on earth because we were never tasked for Heaven's sake.
I am earthbound and therefore taxed by my will which is my thorns and weeds, albeit, I am constant in prayer, to flower and bloom in hope and faith.
So my family were never angels then, but now--
no longer earthbound--my entire family are all angels,
... except me.
I am still earthbound, amidst my thorns and weeds, and my flowers and blossoms.
By Heaven's will, I am still grounded (bears somewhat to my parents once termed)
I will continue to shine in the Light of Truth,
Signed the blessed sinner, Amen.

Premium MemberShape Shifting Soul

“here I am in human form

but it was not always quite so

earth is not the only planet I’ve been to

through past life regressions I definitely know"



             Soul runs in a cycle continuous,
             termed as life,  shifting shape or appearance.
             Energy transforming ! Oblivious.
             Soul entwined with body shows performance .

             Soul goes through repeated incarnation
             shifting shapes and changing places of birth.
             Earth is not the only destination.
             There are other options for home or hearth.

              Multi Universes accommodate.
              As you sow, so may you reap : That is true.
              Scope to incarnate or reincarnate,
              with past performances to continue.
    
               After demise, soul to leave the body
               and for the next journey being ready.

Premium MemberThe Dance Of Anger

     
    Dance of anger not to welcome.
    It brings only nuisances.
    Do not indulge, it has no charm.
    Actually makes no senses. 
    
    Anger sprouts ! Quite natural.
    Dance of anger not to welcome.
    Don’t encourage, May be fatal.
    Anger invites just loss and harm.
     
      Anger spreads fast in broad spectrum,
      resulting several evils.
      Dance of anger not to welcome.
      Anger can be termed as Devil.

      Lies and malice produce anger.
      To stop anger, you have freedom.
      Have spirit, don’t turn avenger.
      Dance of anger not to welcome.

Premium MemberAlbatross Feather in Jeopardy

Written: April 18, 2024

                     ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another atrocity: letting stone or lime tears slick.
A majestic sight—an albatross-nurturing chick.
Midway Island, where strings were hung.
Birds covet between land and sea for their young.

They saw a feast, a bounty to witness. 
Human waste of all kinds is not worth swiftness.
A dwarf chick gently waits till his parents return. 
A fragile bird wept, fleeing from an unseen spurn.

Below their skeptical gaze, the chick played. 
His parents, as warden angels, never strayed.
They opened their mouths and started to eat.
In agony, they wept, shaking as if life retreat.

Longing for a life, the birds once yearned. 
They began to sing their hymn of peril termed.
Survivors are clueless that men spread lethal flu.
With a split heart, I stand in shame, void, and blue.

Sans doubt, man is a fool—no care nor claim. 
A tender poise between empathy and blame.
Whoever enacts a crime will bear the shame. 
Is it too late for any of us who are aware to tame?
