Designed by glow world spirit apt
Aligning deft nirvana enigmatic
You’ll embrace a stunning touchstone
Strewn amid solid crystal bounty
Traipsing vivid emerald paths ahead
Amazed by wondrous vista woven
Redolent of chalk mark visual rife
Dabble in the morn’s first usher
Archway to vibrant wakener within

Sensory luxuriance devoid of match
Tangled web surfeit found epic
Aching surge of tinted aspect
Rhythmic ripples on beaded brow

Cristiano Ronaldo.
Born in Funchal, Madeira's archipelago.
Played for Real Madrid and Man United.
Now his flair gets Al Nassr fans excited.
Messi is Ronaldo's biggest rival,
always vying to give fans an eyeful.
With a flick and a trick,
both make football look slick,
adding awards into their archival.
Although Messi has the Ballon d'Or awards record,
no one can match the goals Ronaldo has scored.
He started as a winger, but now plays as a centre forward.
When he misses a chance he's known to scream a swear word!
First introduced by God to Noah
the rainbow stands for diversity
for tolerance, for compassion
though today the last two
seem out of fashion
Leave it to a 'fanatic right-winger'
like Mr. Itamar Ben-Gvir
to remind us all, in Jerusalem or here
of heavenly values we all should hold dear
Oh my dear, let me
clarify
The difference between the
lefties, let's give it a try
First, we have the liberals,
quite moderate they are
They believe in rights, but
won't go too far.
Next, we have leftists, a bit
more extreme
They want to tear the system down at its seams,
Revolution is what they seek
to bring about change
Their radical views might be
hard to arrange.
And then there's the
left-winger, they're the wild
child
They'll stand on the street
corner and they'll go wild
They'll yell and they'll scream, demanding their due,
And you'll wanna tear
your ears off before they're through.
So, whether it's 1…2…
or even 3,
Fact is, they're all still
crazy to me,
For I choose to stand
on the right,
Where truth, and
God's Word still count
for something in this world
that's lost its sight!

Changing of Seasons
David J Walker
It wasn’t that I wanted my world
To be frozen
It’s just that the season chosen
Naturally will not be like today
Not the sweltering hot heat
That turns the asphalt street into a
Fakers pit of bubbling fire that tourists
Admire and pay to see the bottoms of
His feet and swoon
At least
That’s how I remember the
Hottest days of June
Perhaps as I grow older and remember
Winter winds much colder breaching the
Zipper of my heavy coat
I can sit and gloat by the fire pit
to the young imaginations of
My grandchildren about how this storm
Is not a bit like what I went through just
To walk to school every day
Up-hill all the way
At least
That’s how I remember the
Coldest days of December
The compact disc now adds full sound.
Our mothers preach from all around.
Explicit lyrics and songs of sin.
We sneak in vodka, some rum and gin.
KISS, The Crue and Guns N Roses.
They play the gym, big hair now poses.
I see my sweet across the stage.
J Geils we dance, rage in the cage.
The smell of hairspray and old spice linger.
We dance real close, ballad of Winger.
The high school dance I sure do miss.
My first real buzz, my first real kiss.
Our parties raged on past the dawn.
The after party still parties on.
Our hidden drinks from all of the teachers.
Come dance with me, under the bleachers.
3-18-20 : "Kim Rodrigues' DWM Contest"
She always ask you a question,
About if you can love me,
You keep escaping the part,
When she says " I love you".
She says it with pleasure,
Relaxed with nothing to loose,
She believe true love is deep,
Its where u can reason "despite".
Now you bring issues about her and she,
You go even further to spread the bricks,
Isn't that sad that you can't see her,
She said you never made her the risk.
So she made herself a tomb,
Where she will be a winger bird,
The power will help her fly,
Where the the sky hides its fear!
@callme_soulgita
Cheese & jelly sandwiches
Straws for short grilles
Pickled feet cannibal's refuse to eat
Frozen snow in your bowl
Dandelions greens I'm hypertension hold the fat back please
Winger washing machine
Candles burning on both ends
When you done dreaming
Wake up screaming
A lance injected a sword slices
Cuttings variables potato salad
What does all this mean
Don't eat food's out of the ordinary???

We Need to Believe God's Word!
As we watch the daily news.
We hear about different stories
and views.
I can't help but to wonder
when some complain.
Their beliefs aren’t "accepted,"
but "contained."
Much of what others say,
brings a concern...
When it comes to God's word.
Many have their ears turned.
Many will speak of
"tolerance" in their living...
It’s their view, that they’re giving.
If you disagree with them.
You're called a "right winger."
While they march to the
"same drum beat and singer."
I don't mean to spread a picture
of "doom and gloom."
But a "day of judgment" is
coming very soon!
God's word... Which many ignore...
Will be the "compass."
When God
comes knocking at your door.
What will your words be,
when God calls your name?
Will you come to him.
Or just complain?
You'll be by yourself at
God's judgment day?
When your name is called.
What will you say?
God's word says; "My love for
you will never end."
Allow his word to guide you...
And be your friend!

Are We Looking For Man’s Opinion? Or God’s Truth?
I often watch the daily news.
And hear about different opinions
and different views.
I can't help but to wonder
when some complain.
That their opinion
isn’t being explained.
Many of the opinions shared,
bring to me a concern...
When it comes to God's word.
Many have their backs turned.
While often, they speak of
tolerance in their living...
Only their opinion...
Is what they’re giving.
If you disagree with them.
You're called a "right winger."
While they march to the
same drum beat and singer.
I don't mean to spread a picture
of doom and gloom.
But a day of reckoning is
coming very soon!
God's word... Which many ignore...
Will bring judgment, when God
comes knocking at your door.
What will "your view" be when
God calls your name?
Will you come to him.
Or will you complain?
You'll be by yourself at
God's judgment day.
When your name is called.
What will you say?
God's view is: "My love for
you will never end."
Allow his word to guide you!
And to be your friend!
