TO RIVERS OF BABYLON AND ZION SHORES

TO RIVERS OF BABYLON AND ZION SHORES    next                   (Apropos Of A Nona Tanka)

Be aware of this,
We’ve all survived worse:
All ethnicities;
Present day oppressive times
Will also be overcome:-

We’re not a kingdom,
All here are here equally,
And destined

Not Near Zion

We were blind to the writing on the wall,
Some said it was solely about the man,
Not considering what had brought the fall,
Which had started before the man began.

We are in a state of perplexity,
We are walking deeper into the night,
It’s a state of shards and complexity,
They tell us not to lose sight of the light.

Where

SWANA Zion Reich and Load

The cradle of three of the biggest faiths
Rocked by the claim one agenda stakes

Locked and loaded and ready for war
With righteous blessings for terror and gore

Sentiments civilities and landscapes pitted
All of human decency finally outwitted 

IF I CAN CHANGE THE WORLD

If I want to change the world
I will get a train ride
To mount Zion today
And get the express permission 
Of God
I will ask God
To allow all married men
With marital challenges
To rewind the clock of life
And move it to their
Comfort zone of bachelorhood

Unto Zion

 Unto Zion I go to find my soul
 Journeying through Heavenly Abodes,
 where the Path is Electric like a Thunder Storm
 and True Jerusalem Ascends Forth,
 Ever-Upwards where the Sacred Resides
 I AM The Sun So High,
 past Six Gates Unto Paradise
 to perceive with Gods eyes,
 where Diadems are Prevalent and Luminous
 and

Your God Reigns

How lovely on the mountains are
The feet of him who brings good news
Who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
Great joy and peace shall He diffuse

O You who bring good tidings, rise!
To Zion say, “Your King is near!”
Arise, proclaim to Judah’s towns
“Behold your God!” and have no fear

Prepare the way of Yehovah
Make straight a highway for

Slot Canyon

The ooze of earth and water, rivulets of mud,
Moves slowly, then faster, as rain pushes its mass.
Both water and earth mix in this massive great flood,
As it's trapped and rises in a slot canyon's pass.

As it inches up the wall's of Zion's great rocks, 
It swirls and heaves like the rage of an ogre.
The tightening

No Joy In Zion

No joy in Zion 
Cast the first stone 
If you are sure of your soul
Cos you Don't point fingers 
When your eyes are dirty 
Our streets are hot 
Too many events are unfolding
At same times 
Some are good 
So many are ugly 
The elite keep taking blames 
While 
The youth keep protesting
Life is what it

Zion Calls

A sanctuary waits for me
Beside a woodland stream;
Creatures chatter, beast and bird,
Dithering among the trees,
Engaged in nature’s repartee.
Fungi, moss, and flower
Gather in this shady, holy space,
Habitat of happy innocence,
Idyllic, secret forest glade.
Just let me linger in the quiet,
Kneel beneath the trees,
Listen to the lessons
Majestic nature speaks to me.
Noble trunks stretch upward,
Outward toward the sky,
Praising arms,

Who Killed My Good Dog

The Dog – My Lion!
The strong like Iron
Meriting Zion
From-The-Brave Scion
Now crushed by Tires
From who engines fires …

Just killed My Lion!
And melted Iron
And just wronged Zion
From-The-Strong Scion 
That Brave Rogues panicked
And with Saints picnicked:
Tires that my heart bled
And with sorrow fed …

I shall Revenge feed
And attackers breed
And Death hatch with speed;
To the same cruel dust
I shall

Mount Zion

Helped us see beyond
Voyage through dream world
God gift to explore
Seen through the eyes of the river
Truth delivered
Fresh and clear
Our Lord love was found here
Through potter
Blessed our water
Through each stream
Painted me a dream
Colors of the sun
Radiates as one
Beauty of the mind
Seek and ye shall find
Sheer elegance
Within his presence
Our skin felt fair
Against the mountain air
Drew the images

Toward Zion

Almighty bestows compassion
driving empowered faith
glorifying holy immutable Jesus…

…kindles loving might
nurturing optimistic prayer
quickening revival spirit~~~

~~~toward uplifting
victorious worship ---

--- xenial yonder Zion*.

*Psalm 50:2 Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

Zion Mother

I have been loved so very much.
My Mother has a special touch.
I have cherished feelings growing up.
My Mother loves me, I am her son.

Her family knows her,
As a nurturer of the divine art,
Whose gentle hands and words,
Come from her living heart.

She has a heart of trust,
Which she uses to serve us.
She is my worthy Mother

Player Zion

Zion

Just past desert wastes:
looming canyon monoliths;
shallow, racing stream.
