the e y e s only sees - in narcissism -
what it wants to...with blind spots
on just about all else
“We have the politicians we deserve.”
What kind of “we” I’m synched with on brainwaves?
How many “we” are surreptitiously reserved
For the reunion, in whose family grave?
It’s plain to see what politicians are about
They’re ubiquitous like weather, that brings weeds
To every garden, and they can’t be weeded out
But it’s not good to blame me for their deeds
So I don’t need my politicians and their mob
But surely they deserve people like me
And that’s the awful part of their job
They know it, and demand a larger fee..
When I tell you to build dams over rivers and seas,
To build bridges betwixt beings and make existence ease;
You laugh at me and politicize each one of my fights,
I don't quit; I don't accept failures; I am at my heights;
I am Gandhi, Nehru, Mandela, Luther, Lincoln, oh!
Who, on the paths of Jesus, Allah, and Ram always go..!!!
There are things i wish to say
Before my mind must slip away
Things i hope you never know
But if you do, i have more to show
In your world of play and fun
There are those who steal and run
Who take your wealth and claim as theirs
Only stating "its becuase they care:
In this case, and i hope you will
Grab your toys and run for the hills
For greed my child as in this case
Changes its look when you see its face
Show no fear and please take heed
And know i am their with what you need.
Please stay cautious and aware
Dont live your life like you dont care
There are things i wish to say
Before my mind must slip away

No apology,
Ever renders invalid anothers threat.
Nor does our saying we forgive, mean we’ll forget.
Creator of night & day
ready,alongside us on the Way
Designer of mammal,fish & bird
through th Holy Spirit now heard
Maker of the universe
on His back he took our curse
Annointed ,Lord of all
a servant-king always on call
Only begotten son of Him
the sacrifice for our sin
genetic aesthetics -
relative relations
Our Lord Jesus, said,
"It Is More Blessed To Give
Than To Receive."
This scripture is evident
in many lives only if it applies
to advice.
Old
truths in
a new light-
there are no new
truths
Ekphrasis after Matisse Spray of leaves
