Emotions sit no straight to meditate,
They look for an emergency exit,
What’s sane and sound gets caught in a Zen state,
Seeks profane whilst a safety valve’s remit.
Raised on a diet of good behavior,
What sane nigh prude do but ponder and brood?
Being quicksilver and nigh cavalier,
But not crude, vaults profane in words plain nude.
This is no way to wield vandalism
Of verbal brand way bit a wounding kind,
Profane words ventilate wrath with wisdom
To bring back lost balance of a sane mind--
A fair device to open up floodgates
That cools raw rage and pre-storm peace creates.

If ever we needed to ventilate,
it is now…the thickening tragedy
of lies have become too heavy
for the respiration of living truth…
Indeed…the dire situation
has reached lunging capacity
and the alveoli of reality
are sparking gut-wrenching
diarrheic retribution…
Breathe people…breathe…
check the yellowing mane…
strings of manipulation pulling
thin loose-lips of a sinking ship…
Breathe people…breathe…
the corona of truth shines
its bright light of truth…glowing
around the dark moon of deceit
of Americanism’s tragic turn…
Be mindful… people …scapegoats
come and go…in God, we must trust…
rather than loaning our sacred lives
to ill-fated government iniquities…
As believers—in the Lenten resurrection—
let us be about the business of resuscitation
of our beloved dying nation—yes …ours—built
by the blood-brick masonry of our Ancestors…
People are silent in the shadow of a man,
Terrified like an old gran,
Hiding like a sardine in a can,
While eating with a bun.
I notice that venting is now a crime,
Even their gut is empty from time to time,
Still dreading to ventilate the begrime,
Who will expound in every distant tongue?
They complain yet no one enunciates,
Their marshall is a waste,
Spreading hate just to sate,
Disappointed in their fate.
Voters ventilate
Politicians vacillate
Democro-demise
One word, thoughtless voiced, can pierce like a dart.
Unknown to those who ventilate can leave
festering wounds upon a fragile heart.
You spurt out things and deem you're being smart.
Think it doesn't hurt? You're being so naive;
One word, thoughtless voiced, can pierce like a dart.
It's far, far so easy to tear apart
clueless that the other could receive
festering wounds upon a fragile heart.
A stranger, lover, teller at Walmart;
Don't yell or rant because you have a peeve.
One word, thoughtless voiced, can pierce like a dart.
An argument there was no need to start;
because in the end, what did it achieve?
Festering wounds upon a fragile heart
Pause a moment before you speak, restart;
think about your words, do not disbelieve;
one word, thoughtless voiced, can pierce like a dart
festering wounds upon a fragile heart.

Trump Remained Manure for Sure
Trump surely remained manure for sure;
He was more than we could ever endure;
Could hardly wait,
For him to ventilate,
Would stay in closet completely obscure.

That fashion style's come round again
for everywhere one sees
the young 'uns in their denim jeans
with rips across the knees.
Some sporting just a single slash,
others have two or more,
it must help ventilate their gait
don't know what else they're for.
If having holy clothing means
they wear a look that rocks,
it means that I am bang-on trend
with my pants, my shoes and socks.
I hear the name everywhere I go
It refreshes and cleans my soul
The sound of it gives us new life
It rids us of pain and strife
Every letter makes us take deep breathes to ventilate our minds
That name alone heals the sick and maimed; gives vision to the blind
Helps us to cultivate something beyond our fate
It teaches us love and never to hate
My Lord and Savior humble and true it is your love that I pursue
Peace is your outstretched arm
Your name alone protects us and keeps us from harm
We are all sinners seeking forgiveness
My Lord is Mercy, forgiveness and goodness
Thank you Lord for choosing me
Your love brings me to my knees
Above this world and the universe
There is a name I love above all, Jesus
The name I love Father God, Jesus, Jesus
Jesus the Nazarene
Jesus the King of Kings
Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables
At separate meals everyday
Run or walk a reasonable distance
To burn food and dispel toxins
Drink water or fruit juices everyday
To nourish and cleanse the system
Walk or sit in sunshine moderately
To allow vitamin D be absorbed
Control yourself against harmful habits
Use in moderation good things in life
Breath in fresh air everyday
Ventilate your home and workplace
Have time to rest from labour
Early to bed,early to rise
Have no time to worry too much
Trust in DIVINE POWER
