I am the wind beneath the sparrows wings as it heavenly sings. I am the single rose sitting in a barren land. I am the the lions voice, and the partridge voice as they rejoice. I am the beam of light penetrating the vastness of the worlds darkness. The secret power is no secret,the secret power is me. I am the secret power revealed and concealed in greatness. I am the suns majestic flames. The clarity of rain drops, the zest ,to the minds bland thoughts of boredom. I am entertainment. I am the wood pecker, soaring steadily in the balmy winds picking at success. I am the eagles soaring over sweet allysum, capturing the sent. Stupendous I am, Preening my mind with knowledge, a pen rigged with wisdom, wisdom speaks beyond paper as it leaks from the pore of my quill. I am the potion full of devotion. My pen rigged with morphine, killing I hope the pain of my readers with poems. You are no longer lugubrious, lugubrious you are not. Healed and fixed upon the first dosage. I am ,I am , I am the poetic doctor,wooing medicine from the green pastures, to robe my pen with healing secrets. I am the nectarines of peach orchards basting the mouth of pages with sweet words. Sweet splash sweet splash. I am the sweet taste. I am the revival of a sun baked raisin, the revival to a corps laying beneath circling vultures of the Arabian dessert. I am the fragments of light circling your heart,a campfire, the supplier of its poetic aspire. I am the fridge for poetic dreams, preventing from expire, raising heat of poetry soup higher and higher. Ill never retire until my face wrinkled and my hair grey wire. My pen aiming for a writing desire. On icy roads I keep traction with hot ink and mental snow tires. I am a poet wrobed with creative ink and sapphire. I am safe gaurding the gates of a dying world of poetry. looked upon as a fool why should I stop, because kids from high school saide iam not cool, what is their some rule that makes it uncool. It must be april fools ,safe guarding your desire is a golden rule. I am the hope, iam poetrys stool fueling it with my hand tool full of ink iam the talisman of poetrys gates. I know who I am and this inspires ME!!! By: Elliott Bowe Inspirational Contest Sponsor:Gail Doyle
"They're taking away our freedom!" So, many people say. "They took the Bible out of school; Our kids are not allowed to pray!" "The pledge of allegiance they have banned Because it mentions God. The Ten Commandments are taboo Upon the campus sod." But, before such rulings of the Court, Back in the "good old days", Did we really read God's book in school? And how often did we pray? Do you teach your kids to pray each night, Before they go to bed? When school is out, and they are home, Do they hear the Bible read? Train up your children, after school, And before each school day starts-- What you teach your kids at home Is what they'll cherish in their hearts.
I am free to: Love, Hope, Endure, Sing, Dance, Cry, Laugh, Grow, Give up, Never stop untill I achivemy goal's, Live life, Hate! Have the will not to hate, Never give up, Go down the wrong path, To choose the right one, To worship you, Lord!
These chains of deceit that bind me to this hardwood seat. I bend and break the bars that confine, but they remain, like the haughty, jagged grin of an eroded skull. Such good times as these are even visited by dark slips of the gut from thoughts of tortures past. It was a massive structure, swathed in a meagerly regal indigo, lined in placid silver. In this place I did not cry of neglect. I was no dark horse, puffing promises of vengeance for the cruelty and nonchalance of my lords. They catered to me well, forever willing to stir into my cauldron their own lazily construed dogmas. But O, so long as I gazed upon the faces of my peers, eyes starried with anticipation of knowledge and fantastic visions of other world intrigue, I could not lead the expected life of indifference. Intrigue of the kind that I confusedly examined, reaching deep into the dark, conceptual pit of the unknown, and unproven. Exhausted, I came to my knees, deep in the cave, to rest, to wait for all the promised realities to reveal themselves. I waited so very long for such things. Drew and blew irreplaceable breaths awaiting the truth of falsehood to at last burst forth, at the final moment, to redeem itself.
To play as if today Is your only chance. Some say, "It's just a game." Have they done the Victory Dance? When hard-earned Victory Was finally at hand, Have they felt the glory Raining down from the stands? To do or not to do…. No one wants to hear, "We tried." Effort and dedication will be rewarded… And 'Sooner Magic' is on your side. Yes, to fall short is still an option; But much better to succeed. Heroes are made and remembered Only by their deeds. So, just go out and win. Give your all to each and every chance. Persevere and achieve… And do the Victory Dance.
I am the weather constantly changing day by day. I am the light that fades before darkness takes over. I am the cheetah protecting its young. I am the rain pounding against the window. My hair is silk brushing across your hand. My eyes are baby blue crystals bearing down on people. My hair is golden light that reflects off the green grass. I am the blinding white snow as the sun shines bright. I am a bird's song echoing in the daylight. I am the wind blowing past your face. I am the unstoppable river that moves and moves, day by day, and season by season. I am a book worm inching, reading page by page as hours go by. I am a splash of color to everyone's joy. I am the ground beneath your feet. I may speak words of hate but my friendship will never destroy. I may make mistakes but I am the one you keep.
You women Know how to make The best of what you've got in you You do it everyday in your life
Every moment I can't see your face; These are the days and nights when I miss you. I ask that you stay for always, On sunny days and when it rains too. If I speak to another pretty dame, She's not the flame inside that grows. In my heart you will remain; This one thing I'd like you to know. ©2013 Honestly JT For Skat -Love's "Under 10" Poetry Contest
The Sacrament of Confirmation Confirmation perfects baptismal grace The Sacrament gives the Holy Spirit to root us more deeply in divine filiation Incorporate us more firmly to Fr. Christ Strengthen our bond with the Church Associate us more closely with her mission Help us bear witness to Christian faith in words accompanied by deeds Like Baptism imprints a spiritual mark or indeliable character of the Christian soul For this reason one can receive this sacrament only once in one's life A candidate for Confirmation has attained the age of reason must profess faith Be in the state of grace Have the intention of receiving the Sacrament Be prepared to assume the role of disciple Witness to Fr. Christ, both within the Ecclesial bond Annointing of the forehead of the baptized with sacred chrism Written 09172012
Family, the enemy of our souls wants us to believe The lie that we are alone He wants us to believe That we are treading hopeless road But the cloud witnesses who urge us on Tell us another story The road we tread with light and beauty and fellowship My friends, we are never alone Written 09292012
Lord God, send us Your Divine and Moral Virtues to assist people Faith, to deeply understand and produce evidence to the unseen Impart Hope to be determined and persevere successfully For persons to consider a little generosity to Charity To present Prudence by being careful For untruthfulness to bring into Justice Give fortitude for lawmakers and government officials to be strong Bring in Temperance to exercise Patience and Tolerance We ask these in the name of Father Christ Jesus to send out the Virtues of the Holy Spirit Amen. 09132012
I've become so numb Due to the mass media The images that we see today are from our own viewing Not knowing the effects that we show Come old or young we are all based on the wealthy Views the show TV … beam me up Scotty take me away Take me to a place were TV shows us what we wanna her But we should not endear This is their world not our day to day Read beatify magazines they will only make you feel ugly Skinny the thing to be, hay American high school that's the place to be Give me space while I lick my face This is ace as this has no trace Gang hoods They must be thieves, this is what we no As tv showed me, just like cloth around the face told me Run like Cee U Next Tuesday…………………. In a bit, smoke some weed Hay that dude must be black like 2PAC Rap and grime their all commuting crime It's not true there just writing lines with rhymes Just like me and you
We Need God Back Into Our Schools! There are some trying to remove God from this nation! They do is under; "a church and state separation." For many years, God was taught in our schools! Until the Supreme Court took it away, with it's rules! As so many young people look to fill life's "void." They try many things that they think they'll enjoy! Rather than having God's word to obey and live by. They choose the kind of life that they will die by! Drugs, sex and violence of many perverted kinds. Are what is now filling so many young people's minds! Read the headlines! Many young people are stressed out! Yet our government can't seem to figure it out! Another shooting… Another act of violence appears! While any kind of answer seems to have disappeared! The answer is not more money to solve their problem! No matter how much the government tries to solve them! Let me give you answer. It's called "read the Bible 101!" It's time to repent to God the father, the spirit and the son! Our young people need God brought back into their life! And allow him to heal their brokenness and strife! Jesus Christ is the solution for which many are asking! Only he can give anyone a life that's everlasting! Please come Lord Jesus! And heal the wounded hearts! It's everyone one of us, that it needs to start! No court or school can separate God's love for you and me! Where will you spend your eternity? By Jim Pemberton 10/24/13
im livin in a world, where all eyes on me. trying to curve my own route. but route 66 keeps finding its way to me. ive been plenty sick, in all the events layed before me. even when i reflect to my lowest points i dont regret any of the choices That I've deployed in my era A lot of it by error, but hey We live in hell conditions and there ain't no air condition Or any guidelines when life throws you in the sidelines But when hindsight twenty twenty hits You'll begin to understand life's a bunch of equations and you in the mix of it An you'll have to think twice, before running into a situation and becoming the best of it Situations it's what got me here, it's what got us here Ran with my thoughts blazing up to her place and Guess what happened next She opened up heaven's gate And just before late I slipped out Simply put I'm a Grown ass man Doin his thing, waitin to blow up like an old land mine In doin what he drools over But time after time Something decides to creep up and cover the light Lost my way Then I revoked to ever know, I ever thought that way But in the in between time, that in the mean time Spent a lot of time Gettin pissed off just to medicate and lift off Don't need Don Perion to sip off Already had my way with the bottle Even thought to get back with the trouble and rejoin the hustle That's just what happens to a man who really knows his old ways Whos tired of making ends meet and ponders getting back to the streets. Memory sets in and he remembers an O.G. saying No matter how tall your pockets stand when you ball Eventually times gonna make you fall Fall And I as I pull myself together I don't wanna end up like the twin towers rubble I mean no offence to nine eleven but at that time I probably could have used a reverend But all that's irrelevant now because i live with a different perspective now there you go you made it to the end :-) comment if you like, constructive criticism wanted as well.
Underneath a gorgeous forenoon sky, In a lush and cool garden of delight, The green pheasant lifts his exploring eye, Calling his all wise sage beyond his sight. His melodious song praises the divine One, Whose luminance descends in a beam, Touching within the shrine bright as the sun, Turning every thing gold as in a dream. The Lord rests now upon His noble throne, Calling all to climb up the stairs of stone. There my reverie of Jesus commenced-- The glory of His office deified, His knowledge of man's history there dispensed, His science of the present thither described. Wisdom of the future was His display, Myself humbled to receive His cachet. Five years of learning was spent at this shrine-- Proving command of as many disciplines-- Crossing the bridge from human to Divine, His acute knowledge of miracles begins. Then writing for His testimonial, Also history that brightens the wise, With focus on the rites ceremonial, And how theocracy does authorize. Divine authority added to His reign, With the King's seal He departs the domain.
Hello again my impossible girl, I've been looking for you in this always changing world and I have you, my impossible girl. But, is it always what it seems? Because every now and then I'll think and every now and then I will dream, that my impossible girl has found me. Because even if I have you, will you see me? I find it harder and harder to concentrate on the future, when my future doesn't have my impossible girl. So as every ball of rock and dust enters the earth, and every birthday candle blown, and every night at 11:11, I will wish for my impossible girl to finally see me, her impossible man waiting, for his impossible girl.
written 29th June 2013 Recalling that day at school, the teacher set that task.. what do you want to be? she asked the class.. My answer was simple, so I had thought... to be a mum, I'd have six kids and live on a farm If you would believe, that's exactly what I received but it was not made to come with ease For the fathers I had sadly chose, became prideful and greedy! never til now did it cross my mind, my babies would someday not need me Leaving me again to think, what do I really want to be as faith would have it, as it had been planned so I'd see For the FIRST! time, direction would finally enter into my life poetry writer; was soon to amount of me, after I'd become a wife Now poems are continuously raging within my head, all wanting to be read as I failed English on an epic scale, to believe this dream inside of my head At 38 years old, I see my life heading back to school maybe this time round, I won't play the class fool!

Today I thought of all my stress Causing me such an unrest So much to think that I had thought Would it be better to live or not? Get this straight: I'm no cutter No pill taker; def. not a jumper I'm not killing myself- get that straight Just explaining today's living debate I hate the fact I suck at school No discipline in me for easy rules 'Do the work, earn good grades' I failed to do so; a whole year fades My freshman year; man I $*#%ed up Too much partying, boys and stuff Taken for granted just how hard Barely passing for my report card I ruled today I just must live My life, to the fullest, and to give Back to all who help me to stay Family, friends, defining me to claim nay. Nay, I will never end early my years Selfish would it be; no other word more clear For people who care and have to deal If I were gone; their lifelong empty feel Not being conceded; I'm not all that I just couldn't ever leave someone like that Abandonment, giving up, not me I'll fight this challenge to get off AP* Staying in school's now my number one Everything comes second; last listed is 'Fun' Focus on completing the work I need Will help me cope with getting degree'd From this message, please take away The thought to never check out early your stay Here on this earth, even when you're down Think of your loved ones who'll always want you around. *AP: Academic Probation- possibility of removal of university for poor grades
A serpent underneath blue sky, in shade of man, in twinkle of an eye, above brick wall, in the structure, at the floor, venom of white dove; contaminated food, undrinkable water, misguided youth, pregnant daughter, unfaithful father and hateful son, mothers do pray while we walk through Babylon; on teli and in the press, on top shells, price none the less, in bedroom and at your door.. dawn of a new day seemed to be dark, after all.
Some Advice in This Sonnet A few words of advice in this sonnet: Don't hurt, if you too don't like to be hurt. When bad deeds return, you might regret it. So watch your deeds, and take care of your words. Always know that from above you're being watched. On your right and left are angels writing – Collect whatever good deeds you may lack, To please God and meet Him while He's smiling. Avoid supplications prayed against you, Especially those of righteous Muslims. Beware of everything you see and do – Know that on Judgment Day, you'll be questioned. Obey Allah's Rules, and good you shall get. If you displease Allah, yours is regret. Miriam / Mariam Mababaya
Victory is of thought, Wonder is to conclude, And mind is self of meaning. Figuare of shame of ages, Of war gamers, Turn me to the biliogocal sense. What do it stand in age of reputation action, Like loud launch and recoop, Like a view on a computer, Of the daily paper, Turn and turn and look at it at different angles. As you look you see the argues, Arguer Becoming the accureted, Words come from the definetion and stand for what? Self domination is a world class joy it self, Put what do the people have to say or stand, Turning to Pages to Ages, Yet still unreverse, Just love for lust. Aquistiones as in sound waves, Proquereel as in a whistle, Tears amptitude as a newsends. Is this truely my generation, Out of my element I seek to write..... My ancestery didnt struggle for me not to toss and turn, and found words to say, To Richard Wright, Emmel Till, Raplh Ellision, Buffalo Boys that never menton and to the new school philosophy that makes a stand this one is for you. To the Acts in the constiution, still under water have or have not been written. Class of one, The Drean Act, The Patriot Act, Tea party act, and the safety of school rules, we move with you. As you note the revelation is fill with poems... That lead to poltical activistm, In the minority neighborhoods. That branches to something bigger then you, I call it success. To the million man march and resurces to affirmation action and many links in school that was lose of tell, such as the vietnam war why was it resurrectioned... Business and politcals is two different things, To mY generation, Add to fact it is our generation. When will it be 'our time' to S-P-E-A-K! ! ! !
I am a poet writing of my pain I am a person living a life of shame I am your daughter, hiding my depression I am your sister, striving to make a great impression I am your friend acting like I'm fine I am a dreamer, wishing this life, wasn't mine I am a girl who struggles with suicide I am a teenager, pushing her tears aside Side note: (Writing for other ladies out there, not so much myself, so don't worry about me)
A little boy and an ant became great friends one day. But how to live drew them apart, and this is how they ran astray: In the Ant's heart was strict authority and constant work each day. Why wasn't the boy following someone, collecting for the food array? The ant would always build everything in exactly the same proven way. The anthill was underground and protected them perfectly every day. Not adding to the hive was a crime, no one would ever think to display. He knew every thing would be perfect, if everyone did their job and obeyed. But the boy wanted to build bridges and trestles, just like his Dad, each day. All of them out in the open, none of them under ground or hidden away. And inventiveness came with the notice, of new and exciting things in daily play. His life was really cool, not boring, as standing in a line would convey. He'd invent, and ponder, and build in exciting, new ways, to fit each new byway. Quick minded, and resilient he'd build, many fascinating and unique causeways. The boy and the ant eventually went away, not happy with how the other lived. They thought the other shortsighted and scorned, at what the other could give. But they went away without realizing, how very similar were their lives. For each would spend their time endeavoring to help others with their drive. But understanding is a harder concept than building a bridge or storing food. It takes a true gift to see the world as others do… The moral to this story is really quite easy for all to see… You can't expect others to live their lives the way you want them to be. Here, each was adding to their different world, only they could see. While one was building for a smaller, singular hive… The other was building for the hive of mankind.
Perseverance: a poem Long ago or should I say sometime in the past? I had dreams and now at the age of 31 I have realized most of them. It's funny how good luck; joy, pain, rejection, effort and 'Perseverance' with a capitol 'P' have played a part in my life and sealed my Fate. I now choose to think more positive thoughts even though this is still hard for me when I hear a negative voice in my head or when I hear people say negative things about me. Those things hurt me and stay with me until I let it go. I am self-motivated and I was a star pupil in my memories of my childhood. My main goal is to be able to take care of myself, be responsible for myself and for the choices I make in life. I am finishing school next January '14 with my Bachelor's degree and I want to find a good Internship. Then after that I want to have a part-time job working 20 to 25 hours per week and continue doing volunteer work. Oh and poems, I will keep writing my poems and reading other people's poetry. Right now I am reading LIT a memoir by Mary Karr. I also want to write children's books.
This is a poem. It's not abstract. So if you just sit back and listen, you'll understand I'm going to say this poem twice, so listen with your heart the first time but listen with your heart again Say good morning when someone says good morning to you Speak when spoken to Look a person in the eye and be confident even if you're not and be willing to learn what you know not Don't be so quick to speak out loud and then cover your mouth in shame once you realize what just came out It's too late - so think before you shout Be accountable for your actions Your character is defined by what you do when people aren't looking because when they are They see in your behavior all the doings of the heart So be honest with yourself and do the right thing...it's not hard Learn! Use life's resources I know what it's like to be in dark places going through trials - unhappy child But learning and reading and growing is all relative to your future So escape in a poem or good book and don't let the enemy defeat you Stay in touch with positive members of your family ties Record yourself saying wonderful things about your life Recite them daily...then write Be the first to offer respect Stay calm give others a chance to talk Be humble, but never nobody's fool Don't allow others to mistreat you Stand up for your rights and have a voice, but do it with dignity and be tactful. And girls... Go ahead..wear your skinny jeans and your bangles but accept other for their style, their view see things from their angle And fellas... Pull those pants up..tuck those shirts in and stop trying to be gangsta If I can see your underwear thats unacceptable behavior and it's not okay It's embarrasing to the struggle and it's a disgrace It's time to move past the stereotypes of race I know you got alot to face but once you learn what your ancestors did to get you to this place, It will seem like a walk in the park and you'll be proud to have helped the case Young people I tell you if you follow these rules You can change the world and become a generation renewed

As I sit here and wonder what went wrong, I realized, nothing went wrong. People say it was your time to leave this world, to go and see your savior, your God. But really, everyone knows it was your Johnny boy, the Fisherman. He couldn't spend another second without you. His beautiful lover, the wonderful mother, the amazing grandmother. As I sit here and wonder about what you're doing, I imagine you two dancing and singing with your buddies from Bailo's. I imagine you watching over your family and leading them in the right direction. I could almost see you sitting on the bleachers for my high school graduation, and I started to tear up knowing you were there watching. As I sit here and wonder about you, I know you miss us just as much as we miss you. Ryan and Jackie will never know how kind and gentle you were, like a summer breeze. Bella will never know how generous and humorous you were, making everyone laugh. But I will know, and I will tell them, even if it is with tears in my eyes. As I sit here and wonder about my future, I think of you. You always knew I was going to be a successful person. And I always believed you. Mema, my number one role model. My favorite grandmother. My best friend. RIP Roberta J. Kobstad 11/8/1941~~1/24/2012 You will be forever missed.
When my son was young and so very, very wild… I loved him dearly for he was my child. But I feared the drugs, alcohol, and friends he did keep. I knew they would destroy him, as I found my Eyes do weep. We found a private High school with new peers to seek. Miraculously, He found his own way back, and to college he did leap. He chose a college and fraternity far away, as my eyes blurred again. But the day he was on his own, became the best that's ever been. His fraternity became his brothers, and advice they dished out. Study time became important, with gentlemanly behavior devout. I'll thank them each, in the leadership and help they all showed. I'll thank my son for growing up, and for becoming who we now know. Community service brought blood drives, and teaching inner city kids. They worked on their fraternity house, reclaiming it from the skids. All parties had designated drivers to take every body home, all right. They gathered clothes for the homeless to brighten up their life. They built Homes For Humanity for to work he was never adverse. Then, to add to the rest, he continued to work to become a nurse. He put himself through college working in a hospital and ambulance. He had learned a reverence for life, happiness, and yes, even patience. My wild, wild son has found purpose in life and peace at long last. And again my eyes do weep… This time with love so vast...
What Makes A True Friend? What are the qualities that a friend should have – that which would make a true friend so true? A friend is one whom you like to be with while a true friend insists on being with you. A friend likes you when you have so much in common. True friends like you who for who you are. True friends make you feel as though they are at all times near, although they are very far. A true friend is one whom you can always talk to, even at night when it is late - when loved ones are asleep, a true friend is always there to hear what you have to say. Friends like to share, but a true friend always gives you – not what you want, but what you need. The feelings you hide, as well as your thoughts, and your dreams, a true friend can always read. A friend may forgive you or they may not forgive, for something wrong you've done to them. A true friend forgives even when you don't ask. True friends forgive - again and again. Friends are close when you are close to them. A true friend wants your friendship to be closer. A true friend does what is best for you, and hates that you would end up with the losers. A true friend teaches you lessons to help you grow – lessons that are hard and easy. A true friend is always there - having a true friend can never make you feel lonely. Friends may sometimes make mistakes, but a true friend is always careful not to hurt you. A true friend is a guide and a teacher. A true friend knows everything you go through. The true friend I mention is our God, who kept you company before you were born. The friendship of God, if you truly keep and cherish, you will never feel forlorn. The true friend we all need is God (Allah) – the One who guides and can teach us lessons, the One who hears our calls and understands, the One always near – in every season – Allah, as a Friend, never judges us by the way we look and how we appear. Allah, as a Guide, if we ask Him for guidance, He guides us and makes our paths clear. Allah is with us – each day and each night – He is always there when all are asleep. Allah always listens when others don't. He gives you comfort when He sees you weep. Fortunate are those who have Allah as a Friend. Friendship with God is friendship true. May Allah bless me with His Friendship and May Allah's Friendship be shared with you too. Ameen. Allah knows best. Miriam / Mariam Mababaya
Oh what he'd give To be together with Lauren To wake up beside her Each and every morning She's a beautiful girl In every single way He wonders if they'll ever be one If he'll see her every day He thinks about Lauren all through the night Her face in his mind, burning so bright There she is again, strolling right through his dreams Today's the day he'll tell her, or so it seems If only Lauren knew Just how much she means to him That just by seeing her She sets his heart free... But I love Lauren too And my heart feels broken My eyes, for her, are pouring Thanks to many words unspoken Because you see, I am pretty shy Get nervous when she's around Only when Lauren kindly greets me Do I ever make a sound Yet Lauren has changed me In love, she made me believe Her words have saved me They've brought me to me knees If only Lauren knew Just how much she means to me That just by seeing her She sets my heart free... Her heart is so open And her eyes are so full of life Oh how we love Lauren so She'd make a beautiful wife And oh how we'd love to hold Lauren's hand And kiss her pretty face We'd fight to be her man To caress her in a sweet embrace If only Lauren knew Just how much she means to us That just by seeing her She sets our hearts free... Well Lauren's at home now, her love on the shelf Keeping busy, all by herself Doing the things that she does Unaware of the power, The power of her love

Covetousness or Greed begets In our souls unkindness Dishonesty, deceit And want of Charity or Love
This is dedicated to the P-12 teachers that do hard all day every day who go beyond the call of duty to innovate and educate we get a lot put on our plate and still pour out much love all because we are annointed and appointed to teach from the best teacher the Creator from above. Enjoy your break. Give yourself a date. I know your pain. Give thanks in Jesus's name. That we have strength of Him to lead a class, carry on multiple tasks, exemplify love, share knowledge,be a witness and serve the community.Parents be thankful for the teacher this holiday. Please to your child don't say I wish you had a school day. Give the good teachers a break because the bad ones could care less about giving their best on anyday. Teaching is not money its about sowing a seed to have a grand future harvest. Be thankful this Thanksgiving for a teacher indeed.
sometimes I feel alone in this world, My mind thinks of impossible wonders, While my friends think of parties, at night I would rather stare at the moon, While everyone else stares at Tv, so many friends unable to truly understand me, Not able to express my deepest desires, Wanting to love god my own way without a religion, without the fear of disappointing my family Somehow I have taking a road That has lead me to discover myself, While isolating myself in the process, Realizing how blinded I really was I have become different, My soul has become free Gifted with the ability to see, While cursed to be alone Because high school has no room for imagination

Can we make it in this world without athletic talent Can we make it in this world with sensitivity Can we make it in this world with a hot head Can we make it in this world without a nice girl Can we make it in this world with enemies Can we make it in this world with lost friends Can we make it in this world with pessimism Can we make it in this world without enthusiasm Can we make it in this world with scars of emotion Can we make it in this world with poetic ambitions I think we can I think I can Sore loser they call me But I wanna prove them wrong I wrote this poem because one of my classmates called me a sore loser (hence the title) and the one thing I wanted to do is prove him wrong (Written on 10.12.10)
Inspire Those around me Inspire me My peers support me Inspire me To write this poetry Love, Drugs, Funny Or just random It all comes from my heart But without encouragement From those around me My poetry would be worthless Every time i write a poem I could write a million dollar masterpiece But without inspiration Encouragement, Support From those around me I'll be writing nothing But wasteful work Worth only enough To buy me a skittle That's why I rely on Whats around me To get the wheel to turn
In the several centuries Before the coming of Christ The Jews in Palestine re-examined Eliminated some of the books From existing collection As not in harmony with the Law of Moses as Of doubtful inspiration The Pharisees set up four criteria Which their sacred Books had to pass In order to be included In the revised Jewish Canon (1) They had to be in harmony with the Pentateuch (Torah or Law) (2) They had to be written before the time of Ezra (3) They had to be written in Hebrew (4) They had to have been written in Palestine
What are the qualities that a friend should have – that which would make a true friend so true? A friend is one whom you like to be with while a true friend insists on being with you. A friend likes you when you have so much in common. True friends like you who for who you are. True friends make you feel as though they are at all times near, although they are very far. A true friend is one whom you can always talk to, even at night when it is late - when loved ones are asleep, a true friend is always there to hear what you have to say. Friends like to share, but a true friend always gives you – not what you want, but what you need. The feelings you hide, as well as your thoughts, and your dreams, a true friend can always read. A friend may forgive you or they may not forgive, for something wrong you've done to them. A true friend forgives even when you don't ask. True friends forgive - again and again. Friends are close when you are close to them. A true friend wants your friendship to be closer. A true friend does what is best for you, and hates that you would end up with the losers. A true friend teaches you lessons to help you grow – lessons that are hard and easy. A true friend is always there - having a true friend can never make you feel lonely. Friends may sometimes make mistakes, but a true friend is always careful not to hurt you. A true friend is a guide and a teacher. A true friend knows everything you go through. The true friend I mention is our God, who kept you company before you were born. The friendship of God, if you truly keep and cherish, you will never feel forlorn. The true friend we all need is God (Allah) – the One who guides and can teach us lessons, the One who hears our calls and understands, the One always near – in every season – Allah, as a Friend, never judges us by the way we look and how we appear. Allah, as a Guide, if we ask Him for guidance, He guides us and makes our paths clear. Allah is with us – each day and each night – He is always there when all are asleep. Allah always listens when others don't. He gives you comfort when He sees you weep. Fortunate are those who have Allah as a Friend. Friendship with God is friendship true. May Allah bless me with His Friendship and May Allah's Friendship be shared with you too. Ameen. Miriam / Mariam Mababaya
Dear little pony, the children's clown, Rough mane stands tall, his thick tail tumbles down. Jiggety, jog. Yes, some riders have frowned. Dad can ride him with two feet on the ground! He's a tough little, nuggety, wonderful chap Who can live on the roughest of diet mishap. We don't feed him oats much, he'll founder on those, But if you can ride him you're right home and hosed! He's full of the tricks that intelligence brings. He's always a challenge until mummy sings Out loud, lets him know that he can't get away With presenting his backside to children today. The children must learn how to command him too. It isn't the easiest thing they must do, But they look for the pleasure of riding again, So they learn how to handle tough diamond disdain. They must learn how to stop him from racing away Towards home when his head is turned facing that way. His mind is on resting with food in his trough, But his job is to teach, and he does it but tough! Tough diamond's a doorway to wonderful thrills In the glorious world of the horseman's spills And great challenges. Once you can master this rascal Nothing can daunt you. Introductory sample Of every excitement that riding can offer, He's cute, pert, adorable, and he can proffer Essential abilities. Gratitude is The gateway to mastery, sire of bliss! Every offence becomes laughable when You think back to this tough little customer. Then Your mind turns to teaching, as Daddy once did. No more can the mud of offence cause a skid. You'll go round it. Or jump it. There's no need to fall When Gratitude's mastered. Remembering all Those scuffles you had that your dad helped you through, You'll mother, or father, or teach others too.
Teens walk the streets full of fear, A ton of murders every year, Death, Theft, Hate and knives, Drugs, Money, Murdered wives, These are the things I see, But they shall never create me, It's crazy how most of our teen murders are gang related, For some teens never had love, After joining a gang, They will fight for their lives, To the point where guns are being heard, More than a singing bird, And murders are being committed more than child birth, And some see Detroit as hell on Earth, But no one pays attention to the intelligence our teens are worth, For Detroit is a city full of broken dreams, Hoping one day all gangs will work together, And unite as a team, Then we will create a great future, For Detroit's wound will rejoin with a suture, And one day we will make a successful cope, Detroit is a city full of hope.
I couldn't read, I couldn't write… That my world would no more ever be bright. With the morning sun I would rise, The day ahead full with surprise. He took me here, he took me there, We planned the day for everywhere. We sat together all alone, Speaking of things, which were atone. Our minds would argue, but hearts unite, We kept opposing, although right. He bought me chocolates I never shared, I would joke on him, but he never cared. He brought me flowers from the bushes around, A red one hidden as yellows surround. I always pretended I would never see But in my heart I would just let it be. Back in my room when it was 7 again, I would sit quiet, and feel the pain. As I realized that another day would end, He would stay a day longer I would pretend. With sleepless nights my eyes would swell, Moistened with bitter tears and love's spell. The morning would come and go again, But the realization would still remain. And one sudden day it was the day, He kept staring at me and couldn't say. I made him promise he would never let know, When it was time for him to leave and go. But the look in his eyes I knew there was no next day, I couldn't make him stop, not in any way. I ran away, far away from where he was, Picturing him looking at me, as that was the last.
Looking at the first blush of the morning, I know its the perfect day for a wedding. The big fat white wedding, the dream, To which every little girl clings. I tell myself as I watch the clouds turn white, That this is the happiest day of a woman's life, And that nothing should come in between, The perfect bride and her groom. I remember those young moments when I used to dream, Of how our wedding would seem. It was just like I had imagined, A pretty day like today. Slipping into my white dress and stilettos, I think of the way you had proposed. The way I had always wished for, A dazzling ring in sparkling champagne. I switch to happier thoughts from our past, Holding hands, watching stars, laying on the grass. We were high school sweethearts, The perfect couple was what they called us. We spent our days sneaking in a few kisses, We used to pretend to be Mister and Mistress. We were in love, The crazy, eternal and rare kind. Memories are shoved as mother comes into the room, Holding a few red roses in full bloom. Her eyes are teary and her voice is shaky, As she whispers that she is proud of me. Tears spill but I smile as I slide into the car, Remembering the times you'd sing to me with your guitar. The times you'd reach over and, Tuck a stray lock of hair behind my ear. I laugh silently as I remember on the way to the chapel, You saying once you were the beast and I, the belle. You always bring little candles and gifts, And laugh as I make my birthday wish. I wonder if you'd be laughing today, As you cut the wedding cake with the sugar bouquet. If you'd remember our old ceremonies, In the event of your new one. I walk through the gates smiling at our old friends, And take your brother's hand as his arm extends. He takes me in but lets me go, As we reach the door to the flowery hall. I peek through the crack to see you there, At the altar smiling, running a hand through your hair. I slip in and move to the side, As the wedding march starts to play. In came the blushing bride, walking gracefully down the aisle, At her friends and family, she nods and smiles. As I hold my breath and wipe my eyes, Our high school love story plays in my head. I remember the day we promised we'd never part, Because I would always be the one in your heart. But your bride and you exchange your vows, And I find myself repeating them inside. The priest asks you to kiss your bride, And I quickly slip outside. Because no matter how alright I say I am, Letting you go was the hardest thing I had ever done. - Miliya Parveen
UNSUPPORTED CODE We often hear this topic across our nation. Another person crying; "discrimination." In our many attempts to not discriminate. It seems like it's God that we seek to eliminate. It seems like we've come up with our own "rules." And somehow have turned into a bunch of "fools." We accept many perversions of various kinds… But God himself? We seem to close our minds! In many of our lives, we've "kicked " him out. And refuse what he really is about! The words, "In God we trust..." Our money bears it! Anything of God? We're afraid to share it! It seems like the courts almost say he doesn't exist! And have brought much confusion into our midst! As many say it's "offensive" to display a cross… Many godly values have already been lost! It's time to wake up America! And begin to see! The kind of country we're beginning to be! A country that's foundation is getting off course. Being driven by a wicked and ungodly force! Out only hope is in God! And him alone! We must invite him back into our homes! To God and his word we must hold secure and fast! He is our only hope that our country will last! By Jim Pemberton
Today, it just doesn't seem fair That we are still able to breathe. They have given us their air- Our duty to lead the life they leave.
A kaleidoscope, a mixture of colors and light So hard to describe so hard to write Just like a life just like mine Here is mine my time to shine The colors change just like time A life goes on to hit its prime No matter what it keeps on changing Just like life keeps on arranging My story begins at age six When life was suddenly no easy fix The Kaleidoscope began to turn And its center began to churn My father left our family home He left alone to go and roam Suddenly the Kaleidoscope went dark Even now it's left its mark It remained unturned for about two years And the movement became quite severe My Mother moved away from home To improve her new teaching career The shades of blue came into play As most of my family had passed away My mother was strong and held my hand Even though nothing had gone as planned My family will always be in my heart Those small blue beads will play their part At that time I was almost nine I pretended that I was just fine The colors changed from blue to red I went on with almost no dread At age eleven I moved once more I moved again to the California core I spent the next year in shades of green All the kids were just too mean I went to Junior and then Senior High Then it was time to say goodbye The Kaleidoscope turned and made a painting My life became very entertaining That's when I met you for the first time My hope and happiness began to climb But My Father turned my Kaleidoscope for me And I asked and cried my pitiful plea On the weekends the kaleidoscope turns black With nothing there to change it back There are ups and downs, lights and darks With many blond moments and smart remarks My life will always be turning fast Even so I have time to look back at my past If I remember one thing it is that My life was nothing like combat But I still fought wars of my own Without them my world would still be unknown There is nothing quite like a kaleidoscope It's a symbol of change and hope I like to think my life is like this So look back and reminisce Look back at your thoughts and dreams But remember nothing is as it seems The Kaleidoscope will turn to show your past What was boring and what was a blast Mine shows everything you've done for me You showed me how fun life can be You made my life what it is now To this day I still wonder how Thank you for turning my Kaleidoscope And giving me strength and the power to cope You made my life a beautiful rainbow You deserve more than you will ever know
I went straight from High school into the service, I was feeling proud but extremely nervous. My mother cried with tears of joy, she said, "I will try to stop referring to you as my little boy." I arrived at Basic Training with a bus load of candidates, we were greeted quite loudly at the main entry gates. The Drill Sergeants called us everything they could think of, we knew, at least from them, we would receive no love. We were too young to drink and barely able to vote, we were all different races, but we were in the same boat. We had eight weeks to learn how to work as a team, we started to believe that it was all a bad dream! We went to bed late but were up before dawn, we do more before nine is definitely right on! Basic Training was tough but we all got through it, things would get worst and we pretty much knew it. We would be on the front lines as Infantry Soldiers, there would be a lot of responsibility put on our shoulders. The first orders we received took us to the Middle East, our primary mission was to bring about peace. For the first time in our lives we were in a foreign land, the things we saw you could never understand. The precision bombings caused so much destruction, the whole place looks like it needs reconstruction. We are under attack on a regular basis, our so-called enemy is in more and more places. Perhaps we are acquiring more and more enemies, the hate for us here is like an infectious disease. We were instrumental in removing a terrible dictator, but the level of danger here has gotten even greater. Nobody wants to admit that we are in a civil war, many of us are now on our second or third tour. I have lost some of my comrades along the way, we all know the risks and that is all I can say. We will defend our country from all enemies, foreign and domestic, we are a force to be reckoned with and we are not to be messed with! We will win this so-called war on terror, messing with the United States was their biggest error! A successful completion of our mission would be a thing of beauty, we are proud we answered "the call to duty."
I am me; and I know there are going to be people who do not like me But I can not change the way the feel about me and I'm okay with that Why change them, when I wouldn't want them to change me? They are who they are, and I am who I am This is who I am: I am Emily, a person that tries very hard not to judge people This is who I am: I am Emily, I will be anyones friend; It does not matter what they did It matters that you take them in your arms and hold them and tell them your here for them Even if they walk away, it matterd that you showed them you cared
My spiritual journey is very different from other peoples because my life has been very different from most people's lives. The story I relate to the most in the Bible is Job, because Job lost everything but his faith ultimately grew stronger. As I grew up, my father was an abuser which reminds me of Jobs abusers. Today, even my father is dead and I have forgiven him. But I will never forget what he did. Abuse leaves real scars and they don't just magically go away, no matter how blessed or spiritual you are. You may heal but there are still scars. When I could barely put a sentence together my mother took to Max Hickerson's Congregational Church and I was Baptized, full emersion. That would be the last time I went to Church, until I was an adult. To sum it up my childhood my mother wasn't all there, psychologically, and my father was a dry drunk who abused my brothers and I. but mostly, my mother. This was my first path toward righteousness. My first religious path led me to being furious with God because when I asked and prayed diligently for God's for help there wasn't any. But later, When I felt the hollow and emptiness feeling I would go back to God. Trough Faith and Righteousness and Eastern theology. I went back and forth with God until I realized that I had to make a final commitment. I chose Christianity, so I decided I go to the Theology School in Claremont a very liberal community where all are welcome. I decided to become a minister. In my denomination outside of STC they welcomed women ministers. From Graduate school I decided I had to make a full commitment, Wo I enrolled to get Masters of Divinity(mean you are a minister) and a Doctor of Ministry(which means your qualified to teach Ministry to pastors). I was the pastor of Metropolitan Community Church that was inter- denominational, which meant what ever kind of religious and Christian background you had, was respected and you were welcomed at our church. After 4 years as a minister at the Los Angeles church, in the year 2001 I was diagnosed with a brain tumor in the left central lobe. This has made me succumb to my handicapped and I had to give up ministry at least church ministry. I think that all of us have our ministries. The term "minister" just means "service" and you can serve God whether you're in a church or not.

A child disliking middle aged woman Managed to get a few weeks off Then you came and brought happiness to the library Just don't ditch us You were nice to us You let us play games You reminded us you were only a sub Just don't ditch us Days counted down But the number was unconfirmed The only condition was Just don't ditch us You saw my talents You saw for what I am Please go full time Just don't ditch us Then you left Back the way it was I should be used to it But I don't have to like it Every day I wished you would come back So did the rest of the pack Everyone knew I missed her You coming back?

Yesterday, I thought I seen the back of your head, I felt my mind shook as I started to dread, That you were there, But then I realized, It wasn't you. As I left the airport, I got into a truck, that was just like yours, Then all my emotional sores started hurting again. And later on, after seeing, That the friend I wanted to have all to myself in high school, Already had someone to be best friends with, I held back my tears, And fear that maybe I'll never recover From these emotional issues that seem to go on forever. And I feel like I can't keep myself together... Especially when I see two siblings who love one another, Wishing my siblings were close to my age, Then I wouldn't have ever felt like I was in a lonely cage, Envying those who get to have a younger sibling jump into their arms, Whenever I see them at school... She always felt like a little sister for me, I want to protect her, But nowadays, I don't like the way she is some times, And I feel confused, and lonelier when I see that she Likes her other friends more than me. Yet again, more envy, And I feel guilty realizing it's wrong for me to be jealous In friendship... I'll make sure our friendship never ends, But I know that my loneliness will never disappear, And I will never be able to reappear, In school with her again, it hurts, Especially when I don't have someone to share the suffering Of high school work and gym. I still feel hurt and sad, everything in elementary, That made me glad will be pushed away, And I'll probably feel alone everyday... Just like the old days, when I cried at night... And my alarm clock was my nightlight... Now I need Him, to keep me safe, And be my light, Because the hurt that I often feel Is an inner fight for life!

Let the fate decide I write not knowing of what comes Not realizing the facts Am not ready for the pain that is on his way On his way to let down many hopes To injure many souls To stop the proud of one another I am asking if God could give me a chance To prove that I am worth the victory To study more harder To close the lights rarer To give the ones I love a hug To give them my pride, my tiredness My hope for another day to come And I be the one My ears are hearing voices fighting For what is right or wrong I really wish If an angel could fall from the sky And remove my eternal pain And give me a life I could smile in Give me a name, to live with Give me a tissue to wipe all my tears away To miss the love of my parents And they're respect for one another Would give me a reason to live each day with To give me a reason to fight for If there was angel Who would do all this? Who would send God my Prayers? And send God my begs and hopes for forgiveness I wish, wish simple word, hard to make Hard to achieve,…. Will the angel send my prayers Send my begs Send my hopes of forgiveness Give me the love, honor ,name ,and… the reason to fight , to live This life that has no justice….

i use to lie awake at night and ponder of this pointless life up for hours and not make a sound i once was lost but now i am found my sea of confusion, like moses did part the instant i let jesus inside of my heart... but than i let out a gigantic huge fart and realized it was just indigestion than like a sensible person, i began to question and out of those questions, came rational thought and all of the things in school i was taught like critical thinking and following facts so i came to the conclusion: religions a quack now i live happily, in awe of earth's mysterious beauty and if you don't like it, you can kiss my patooty
I used to be happy But now I'm getting sadder. I'm trying to be an optimist But Sometimes I end up as a pessimist. I used to be funny But now I'm getting serious. I try to take a joke But they all get me provoked. I used to like pop But now I find it overrated. It gets crammed down my throat But to old school I devote. I used to achive without trying But now I gotta put in effort. I'm not losing IQ I gotta try like baby birds flying in sky blue. I used to only care about beauty But now I'm searching for more I want a girl who I can pour my soul into But sensitivity is underrated so who? I used to only see dogs as pets. But now I know they're sophisticated creatures. I have two dogs who would die without me. Every second spent with them is a treasured memory. I used to enjoy School But now I think It's a prison "Don't push me 'cause I'm close to the edge" "I'm trying not to loose my head." I used to hope life would stay static. But now I know things happen. Everything bad thats happen I'll pull through. The counselor's telling me that so I guess it's true.
On June 25, 1962 prayer was taken out of school It was like losing a ring's precious jewel If you look into America's history You will find that it is no mystery From that date on we haven't been as strong I believe we have done something terribly wrong What they teach in history books simply overlooks Important information that has raised up a blind generation Youth, family, education, and national life is far from the same We have lost morals and values that our forefathers firmly proclaimed A Blessed Nation under God we have always been But in the last 50 years it has become destroyed by an abundance of sin Divorce rate is at an all-time high While so many children grow up fatherless and wonder why Gang violence increases each day Teenage pregnancy has become a common way Young people search for love in all the wrong places Leaders in government wear faulty faces Role models have become extinct Technology while good has caused many jobs to sink A nation rife with perjury Broken marriage covenants In need of surgery Unforgiveness extortion bribery slander and profanity We need God to restore us too sanity Hypocrisy, and lawsuits initiated solely for revenge and personal gain Doing things are own way has caused us much pain The rich are getting richer and the poor sit back and cry People have lost their integrity yet shake their fists at the sky If you want to learn open a bible and begin to read If we listened to its wisdom we wouldn't have so much need We have become too liberal as a whole Besides having so much debt, we are all losing our souls If anyone talks about God in school they risk losing their profession Yet more and more young people suffer from anxiety and depression Many are on medication making doctors filthy rich So many people are dying in their own emotional ditch Statistically we are on a downward spiral Many people turn their heads or just live in denial History is important to learn For it shows us how quickly society can turn We all have to answer to God someday And if I were you I would start to learn his way For if we are going to continue to be America the best We have to take a moment to address All the ways we have allowed this country to slip Take personal responsibility and restore our spiritual grips Weneed to take back the people's power We are living in a crucial hour If we don't open our eyes ears and mouths we will fall instead of just bend who knows this time if this damage we can mend. by: Sabina nicole
The fondest of my memories was certainly in college. I was in my forties, going back for a forth and fifth degree. Some may know my school as STC or the School of Theology in Claremont. I picked this school because I had a lot of faith in god and thought the journey through this new religious cavern most important. With all my heart I wanted to become a minister. The longer I staid in school the harder I worked, there were so many factions: written; religious history; theology; preaching and on and on. Then about ¾ of the way through I had a eclipse in faith. It was in Biblical studies where we were learning that there was nothing literal about the bible and many authors wrote it. After this lapse in faith I pulled myself back together accepting the modern way the bible was written. I regained my strength and enthusiasm and continued till I finished receiving not only a Masters of Divinity degree, but also a Doctor of Minister Degree in Preaching. Yet, the story doesn't end here. Only one year later I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. There was nothing the Dr.s could do except operate and see what it was. Luckily it wasn't cancerous and over 80 % was removed because it was causing me to smell things that weren't there. I resumed my life with a few handicaps, seizure, etc. taking 14 medications per day. My memory was fully impaired so there was no way I could work in the field of ministry. Now on SSI, poor and barely getting by I still have these memories of having attended STC, and working very hard.

My home state loses a football field, Of coastal land each day of the year. I'm no cheerleader about this, It fills my heart with fear. I wish I had funds to donate to the cause. Maybe if I expressed my thoughts of the situation, It would cause others to pause. As the pelicans swim to the beat, Of their inward drum, And contribute to the state, That many other states of the union, Were carved from. Way back before humans existed, Our dear state Louisiana was merely sea floor. If we humans that exist today, Don't get serious about this erosion problem, The state where jazz was born, Will be sea floor once more. Our coastal industries, beautiful magnolia trees, And the capital of the Old South, Will no longer exist. We won't be able to reminisce about anything, If our hindrance persists. Like bacteria attacks a cell, Our precious land is being attacked as well. Like our educated out migrants, Land is leaving without being replaced. Saving this land helps us ecologically: This includes the human race. Please fellow residents and people who once, Or never lived here before. Fill Louisiana's heart with cheer, By contributing to this worthy cause. If one can't give monetarily, He or she should then take a pause. Be creative and think of other ways, That one is able to help this wonderful state. We would certainly appreciate anything you do, To help us out. I know the pain of the land will be eased, Without a doubt. Our state has faith in us as we have faith in it. Let us not only be cheerleaders, but star players. So that our precious land can stay strong, Throughout its layers. This erosion problem can be very costly: Climatic changes, loss of land, animal and plant species, And human lives are just a few. Please help save our wetlands, Because it is part of the old and of the new. Wrote November 2003 almost exactly 2 years before Hurricane Katrina, while student @ ULM and concerned about the issue, as a student and scientist the topic of New Orleans going under and the Mississippi River flow and creation of Louisiana was talked about since I was in elementary school in the mid '80s was a main topic of concern for the gubernatorial election held that year, and during that political official's term as governor, Hurrican Katrina hit, Louisiana politics I tell you- they simply tell people what they want to hear!
it's September and the new school year is now off the ground but there's this crazy phenomenon happening called dumbing down basically our children have decided that it's not very cool if you're seen as being someone who's very smart in school they're getting grades on the level of just barely passing through for if you look too smart the others will make fun of you but what the generation of today fails to see is that education is the key to greater opportunity when I think of the struggle my ancestors had in order to get educated to be given a chance to one day become economically elevated then I look around the word and have come to realize that children in third world nations see education as a great prize dumbing down is the latest form of mental slavery today sabotaging our children's success and stopping their equal pay to follow the status quo just to appear cool dumbing down their assets to act like simple fools no marketable skills and no chance to succeed emulating those artists who rap about money, violence and greed how will they ever compete in this global economy when they don't even possess a basic college degree? dumbing down their assets instead of doing them up walking around wondering why they now have empty cups they need to use that gift from God which is their smarts and get that education which in life will give them a head start and whatever they go on to do in their lives be it in either word or in deed pray that they do it in Jesus' name and plant a mighty seed don't let the world discourage them and attempt to keep them down elevate them in Jesus' name and plant them on higher ground they run around with their pants hanging off their butts and doo-rags on their heads looking like street gang executioners and not Wall Street executives instead as parents we've got to do our best to make sure they get educated as parents we've got to pray for them and make sure in the Word they're elevated so pray for them, cry over them and help them to do their best encourage them and let them know they can be better than all the rest the children are our future, our hope and our legacy so make sure as parents that they get every opportunity making it great in 2008 by telling your kids to do it up and not dumb down just make sure you do it in Jesus' name and with love abound

One deadly power play against human struggle Against sin Death Is the devil Jesus call the devil "murderer" The father of lies Saint Peter warns his followers Be sober, be watchful The devil stalks around Like a roaring lion Seeking someone to fall The devil has the power of death Fear of death, the root of other fears Struggles against ordinary fear we face in life Fear of pain, of being forgotten, not having enough Not accomplishing enough Getting old Being faded in some way All find their power source In the fear of death We will try not to answer to devil's strategy We will do all we can To avoid these fears Have you ever lied? Have you ever put others down? Have you ever sought revenge? What do all examples have in common? Engaging simple behavior, to avoid something we fear Devil leads the human race to a habit pattern of sinning Through sin, ever-deeper forms of bondage Manipulating our fear of death His ultimate goal is to make us his slaves, to lead us to eternal death

Took my newspaper down to the cemetery last week, Set up my soapbox and I commenced to speak. I read to them of bombing overseas, An article about the discovery of a new disease. I read of a robbery on a downtown street, And a tale of the homeless with so little to eat. Told the folks about the wall street dive, And how the local sports team is finally coming alive. Of five new babies born just yesterday. Then I read a notice for tryouts for the high school play. That there's a big sale on jeans at the mall, And the fact that three local teens had answered their country's call. Do you know how they responded there? SILENCE' It seemed that no one cared' Some of the entombed had died in the war; A few mangled wreck of a speeding car. Pestilence had claimed the life of several others, And abortion had separated babies from mothers. The grandiose markers show who had enjoyed prosperity, While other inscriptions speak of integrity. Many simply grew old and had passed away, But, once in the grave, none had any more to say. Be they saint or be they sinner, Not one could arise and go home for dinner. The events of my world-oh, so wearisome to me, Have no effect on a dead man evidently. So what good is worry? What profit in fear? I am crucified with Christ and He draws me near. In Him I experience Heaven's greatest delights, For I'm a dead man walking by faith, not by sight' Arthur Ball (H.S.L.P.) March 6, 2006

Excitement is running through my mind at this point, It is hard to control so much When something so honorable, Happens to come across For me personally, It was the proposition From a contest by, World Poetry Movement In which I entered in, And received a letter back Stating that my poem, Had made it to the next level But that is not all, Oh no What's more is that they informed me, That they were publishing that very poem In a book titled "Stars In Our Hearts" Which is to be published in August this year I hope each and every one who happens to read this, May read my poem "The Beat of the Heart" In the book.

in order to get back to Eden to live on top of the world there are a few things from God which need to be heard here in America in the democratic land of milk and honey African-Americans are disproportionate when it comes to power and money our healthcare is poorer, our finances worse, few of us in seats of power at the bottom of most demographic indicators and our circumstances diminish by the hour the most unemployed, the most discriminated, the first to be laid-off or dismissed more of us in jail, a lot of us illiterate, there are too many problems for me to list fewer marketable skills, fewest high school diplomas and don't mention college degrees African-American men in America need to take off their blinders and see to those who stand behind stained-glass windows and look down on those who have less you need to take your brothers back to Eden and put an end to all this mess you might not comprehend their reality but you should attempt to understand that as true servants of God you should help your fellow man if you consider yourself to be a true disciple of Christ what have you done to enrich someone else's life? who did you clothe? who did you feed? who did you minister to in their time of need? who did you mentor to on how to be a man? who did you talk to or stretch out your hand? there's a lot of work that needs to be done to get our brothers inspired we need to help them build a relationship with God and do as Jesus aspired in order to get back to Eden we need to start at the very beginning with the basic instructions that God is recommending to fellowship with your fellow man to develop a trust opposite to slavery's plan to communicate with positivity to no longer promote negativity to pull up your pants and walk like a man to be productive and not destructive to be supportive and not abortive to act like someone's father and not like you're being bothered to teach our brothers to put down the guns and take up the cross so they will no longer act like thugs but to think like a boss no longer will we be divided with jealous envy now united as brothers under God's authority getting back to Eden to be on top of the world to living our lives according to God's Holy word to get back to Eden and up from the basement of life living on top of the world as brothers with our savior Jesus Christ

ON THAT DAY, A PERSON WHO IS ON THE HOUSETOP AND WHOOSE BELONGINGS ARE IN THE HOUSE MUST NOT GO DOWNTO GET THEM, AND LIKEWISE A PERSON IN THE FIELD MUST NOT RETURN TO WHAT WAS LEFT BEHIND LUKE 17:31 A FRIEND FORWARDED me a silly "chain" email recently that read "If your house caught fire You only had time to grab one thing before getting out to safety What would it be? I believe it offered the stipulation that your family could all get out on their own The point of this guery was to help you gauge what one material object Holds the most meaning for you A photo album? A computer? A piece of jewelry? The point of this Gospel passage is that when the choice is between God and anything else there should be no contest If we are too bogged down with our stuff Whether those material objects Interior anxieties or superficial glitz We could miss the ways God is inviting us To be agents for creating better world Try to set aside all distractions for an hour or two See what you are missing!

Friends, teachers, buses, homework, and my parents made my school days my best kept memory. Not at all was I the worst kid, I sat in class quiet and paid attention when we learned cursive. While in my desk I sat behind Bria playing with her braids, she was the 1st crush I ever had while in 3rd grade. They didn't show us films on MLK to advance but took us outside and learned to square dance. See I got paddled in Elementary there was no fair chance or even maybe a ruler held by Mrs.Jackson's bare hand. In my school days school made me a bad kid because I hung around adolecent athletes who loved to snatch and dash quick. I didn't have s%@t no new clothes or nothing just long jeans in the winter made them cut off's in the summer.
One big happy said fairytale Take the pain and no gain Take the slights and not retribution Take it all in without an out. Exploding from the inside out In silence, crying, hurting, writhing in pain and misery Never knowing what it's like to be just okay Never knowing what it's like to have love unconditional Hated and revered Don't show them the pain They don't understand, You are the one that is in wrong. Take it all Deal with it Live with it It's your fault he's like this You carried him You made him the way he is. Deal with the pain and suffering Deal with the stress and the dirty looks It's always your fault No one else's You should know that by now. Take you punishment and like it God's listening but this is his plan Pain and suffering for those that screw up No love for those that dare to be of a different mold. No salvation for the wicked souls of men Shut it up Swallow it down No one cares No one's around No tears will make a difference No whining will help the cause No yelling will change people's minds No matter what you do you won't be accepted So….why try? Be yourself no one else If they don't like to hell with them To hell with you and your self loathing

HE MADE A WHIP OF CORDS AND DROVE THEM ALL OUT OF THE TEMPLE AREA. JOHN 2:15 PART OF OUR CHRISTIAN witness in the world To model the behavior of Jesus We know all about this great acts of compassion and mercy He taught us to be kind and forgiving We know about turning the other check and loving our enemies Rarely do we think of Jesus filled with anger Acting on that anger as he does in the cleansing of the temple It is never good to let our emotions get the best of us To allow our anger free rein But any devoted follower of Christ can Should rise up in the face of defilement as Jesus did When he drove the money changers from his Father's house Anger (like love) is a powerful God-given emotion to injustice Where we need to be concerned When our anger turns violent Is confused with revenge God of love and mercy, hear our prayers.

If only I could fly away, Above the cities, beyond the bays; To dance among the Northern Lights, To scale glaciers of such might. Might one day I also see, Where in this world my place will be; As I think it not here in this college, With it's false opinions and daunting knowledge. Knowledge which once I knew so well, But from my prime I shook and fell; In a world now so educated, What once was so simple is now complicated. Complicated beyond such wholesome trades, Whose families now have split or are delayed; A son will look down on his dad, Respect all gone and joy now sad. Sad is what a mother feels, When at debts feet her daughter kneels; Everyday we're told we're doomed, By a darkness from which awe once loomed. Now in this hall I glance around, Seeing hollow success hence surround; From the conventional I feel I must stray, O God, please love and guide me on my way.

Feels limiting living in a small place... I retrace all my sorrows and joys In a region I've personally proclaimed as my home. Within my mind is only a dream of another place. Another desire and wish of mine is to be set free. I am sorry, but I must leave... My mind shall turn into a fixated set of Feelings of missing of my young prayed-for angels (My baby brother and my little sister). Farewell for a while, my friends, For I will go onto a journey (alone or not alone, doesn't matter). As I keep this decision (to be true to myself and honest of myself), I shall be able to continue my very own life with precision. So farewell and be glad for yourselves, Even when everything feels out of your own range, Please remember how I perceived life through Changings of thinking and changes of maturing mind.

The Catholics came to Junior school last Monday And took my sister out of Maths The rules had changed They'd read The Book Averages could no longer be taught in class "One, plus one, plus one, the teacher said, equals three And divided by three is one. But Jesus, plus God, plus the Holy Ghost equals, One And divided by three is Infinite Power!"

GREET PRISCA AND AQUILA, MY CO-WORKERS IN CHRIST JESUS, WHO RISKED THEIR NECKS FOR MY LIFE ROMANS 16:3-4 PRISCA (ALSO CALLED PRISCILLA) and Aquila Were first-century lay missionaries who accompanied Paul on his travels His praise of these two indicates that their dedication was exceptional I wonder if I am ready to risk my neck for the sake of another Could I be that other-centered? These questions lead meto ponder what my motivation For what I do How ready I am to tend to those in need I must constantly consider these things My society pulls me toward individualism and self self-orientation Placing others' concerns before my own Going the extra mile Doing without something I enjoy Allowing myself to be uncomfortable or inconvenienced These are tiny but significant actions Enable me to risk my neck for the sake of another Readings and Gospel Romans 16:3-9, 22-27 Psalm 145:2-5, 10-11 Luke 16:9-15
Since I am Here The Veil grows Stronger but, You're not here for me I'm just-- Another Lost Soul you know, The people you find on the curbs on streets, During Rainy Days not going anywhere but Deeper into their own Disease but, It's not a disease, for they look for cures for diseases Here the patient cares not Only I could say something like that but since I'm here I just might as well sit on the curb on a rainy day and drown in a new-state-disease what A lost soul I am never enough could satisfy always more What a Lost Soul
Once he entered the room, screams and laughs echoed in his mind. But he showed them no care, he tried to withstand the agony and anger they caused, but deep inside nobody knew what was happening, nobody knew how violently they were slaying his weary heart, nobody tried to sustain his soul with a sweet word or a even a (hi). They kept on diminishing him, they kept on provoking him, they kept on persecuting him all over and over again, they treated him with all the powers of atrocities they have. They left his solitude grow wider and wider. He closed his eyes and contemplated himself at the middle of the sea, not knowing where to go, or how to live. He was totally lost, not knowing what to do. But because he knew he would never change the god in him in order to please them, he would never be a member of those vanities, he decided to conquer them and cease every agony and sadness in him with the help of his almighty. He stood still, he raised his head to god, telling him: << you are my only almighty, I believe and I will till the end, my inspiration in being the person I am will never cease and will never change, I will stand still now and forever, I will stand still for you, I believe you want me down here for some reason. God, I will not flee anymore, I am content. Spare your worshipper, spare his soul, moderate his agony he can't withstand anymore …>>. Then, with a smile he entered again, giving them a pitiable look on how deeply they sank in the vanity and rudeness that are reigning each part of their souls…

In the School of God "1There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: 2The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him." Jn 3:1-2 KJV In the School of God— There are no failures. Perseverance is essential, Until each over-comer matures. When we fall and ask forgiveness, He hears us from on high; Tells us, "Keep going— On My power rely!" In the School of God— There's only one text-book. Prayer is essential— Regardless of how things look. We must trust the Teacher, We fail to see with our eyes; Have faith in each outcome; Accept all miracles without surprise! God's School has ten rules, But each rule is important; The first four for the Principal; The last six for fellow students. God's rule book is simple— Based on His love; Provides us great freedom; Designed from above. When God's School rules are broken, He freely forgives; There's no cane or "naughty corner"; Love and mercy, He gives. He's provided the Holy Spirit— To enable our obedience. His love's placed in our hearts And our minds for expedience. In the School of God— There are trials and tests, But He tells us to surrender them— Then He'll sort out what's best. The school work is constant, But becomes a delight; No greater joy and pleasure Than to shed God's "love-light". In the School of God— Pupils aren't expelled; No-one fails graduation, Unless by flesh they're compelled. All have a choice— To ask for help or to leave. Love and freedom are the keys— By the Principal conceived. Prayer: Thank you, God, for the privilege of being a pupil in the School of God and for my text-book (the Holy Bible), as well as the power of your Holy Spirit to enable me to overcome sin and its temptations. Thank you so much for your rules of love that make my life a joy, even in a world full of sin.

Wouldn't it be nice to live in a world Where poverty doesn't exist and hate no longer ruled Where our children could play side by side And not have to worry or try to run and hide A world where you and I could be friends Where all of us can easily make amends Go back to a time if you can or are able When you seen the world as a story or fable When you were small and in school Did you care who was green purple or blue Did you ever have a problem playing a child's game We all jumped rope and played catch the same Do you remember your first crush And when that person walked by how you would blush It's not that hard as you can see To make it better for you and for me What we all need to do at times it seems Is to remember that school yard and remember your dreams But most of all I hope you all can try to see Do your best to remember how it used to be

She makes my whole world perfect even if its just for one second. I bet your wondering who this girl is. This girl is you. all I ask for is one chance.

So I'll ask you this Will you be my girl?????
I have two brothers and that is it, A sister would have made it perfect. I met this girl and we hung out all the time, I finally had a sister of mine. Even though, we didn't have the same family, She was as real as a real sister could be. And I was six years younger than her, But that didn't really seem to matter. I knew her brother and her dad, When I met her, her mom had just past. I met her boyfriend and her cousins too, Her only sister had died at age two. One thing set her apart from the rest, She would never settle for less. She broke up fights and talked things out, She was a peacemaker without a doubt. Her brother and dad were in and out of jail, For drug possession and intent to sell. She graduated from high school with a 4.0, And not one college she applied to said no. There was not one time she didn't have my back, Whether for moral support or even an attack. I remember this one time her and me, Were riding as passengers and her brother was driving. They used to let me sit in the front seat, Because they knew that is where I had wanted to be. We had just pulled over to get some gas, She came up to the front seat and put the music on blast. A song that we liked had just came on, And we started singing along. Her brother was inside of the store, And a car pulled up that she couldn't ignore. All of a sudden she jumped on top of me, I had no idea about what was happening. I didn't know what was going on, But I could tell something was definitely wrong. She jumped back and she started to choke, And I noticed there was blood coming out of her throat. Her shoulder was the next thing the bullet had hit, There's no way my sister can die like this! Her blood felt warm against my skin, That's when I realized what was happenin'. Her brother barged his way through the car door, He picked up her body and threw it on the floor. I could not believe that he just did that, He didn't stop or even look back. He feared about getting locked up at any moment, Because I found out that he had a warrant. If he didn't do that could she have been saved? We will never know, we had to dig her grave. I didn't even go to her funeral, I mean, I couldn't because I was feeling too miserable. I pray for her family, her friends and her soul, My life, to her I will always owe, My mind is still in awe you see, It happened to her, but it could have been me.

This is the end and though I didn't shed any tears I still feel like something was torn from my heart and my soul. This one thing has kept my midnights filled when I was feeling so alone and helpless. I felt like I didn't have any one in the world, Lonley high school was what I thought it would always be. You showed me how, that friends and with time happiness can come. I will miss everything you represented every night I spent listening to the sky sweetnam song and it really sunk in. There are so many people out there who feel the same as I feel and when we move on from this we will never forget. If you are true fans you will tell your children and hopefully they will show the show when we have kids. We can reminisce about the days we thought of Rilly and Trilly and hoped that one day they would meet their fate and I know everyone was glued to the screen every Friday just like I was. So as I close my eyes and say my final pray I hope each and everyone remembers RFR for just what it was. An inspiration to all of us... we now march to the flavor of our own drums. Independent we stand and we leave into the world... as we turned off out TVs we are no longer are on air but we are at heart. I will miss this show and I can't believe that my final words are goodbye Roscoe we'll be seeing you soon.

We all have bad days, in so many different ways. Could it hurt to be polite, when in public sight? Choosing, field of service, you shouldn't be nervous. When in the public eye, you should not sigh. Say yes sir and yes ma'am, not words like ****. Cursing shows no dignity, showing others indignity. Those who lack the skills should head for the hills. Those with no better tool should have listened in school. If learning you lacked, you should have been whacked. Civility is showing kindness, not your soul's blindness. If politeness you cannot give, then your heart is a sieve. So learn some self-respect, courtesy will be the affect.
A child's dream is shattered by reality of life. Parents fight like it's going to be World War Three. Little fingers hide under the white cover sheets. Praying for a miracle to be saved from the angry family. Twisted inside the pain that leaves you without a pulse. Only hanging by a thread before you fall off the edge. Kids at school never see the real truth. The mask you wear hides the pain. Every step walking home from school is a dread. You rather be at school than at home. The screams inside your head never leave. Words hurt more than sticks and bones. Momma always says it's going to be ok. For some reason it never seems that way. When the holidays came so did the fights. Santa never came and neither did the tooth fairy. Growing older time passes but not the pain. You've been waiting for someone all your life to be saved. Feeling like you're alone on the cold floor. If only you had turned to the side. You would have seen God right next to you.
She's a voice untouched, But still hurts as much. God takes her hand while alone she stands. She fights hard not to slip in the cracks. So many follow the wrong tracks. Good in this world can't win, But were speaking of a virgins wombs. Tears are salty but gods cleanses her as he feels her pain. He only hopes she sees the gain that his way obtains. Gods little follower, Not accepted by a school trying to swallow her. She's a voice untouched But still hurts as much. God takes her hand while alone she stands. Only she's not alone. Gods little follower. Gods watching over her. Not only her but also everyone Even the non-followers. Set aside from the crowed She goes her own way. Livening his way day to day, Even when she hears what others say, It's him she obeys And its him she will answer when she pays. Gods little follower, Not accepted by a school trying to swallow her. She's a voice untouched But still hurts as much. God takes her hand while alone she stands. When the chose their titles She stands by. Inside she dies watching at homecoming from the sidelines crying to understand what her peers planed. Four years gone and here last she has yet to stand on the field with all her achievements in hand, not one title has been given that she hasn't earned but she yurns for one that says she's welcome as tears burn. Not accepted by a school trying to swallow her. She's a voice untouched But still hurts as much. God takes her hand while alone she stands.
An angel sat at the foot of my bed And laid his hand upon my leg After I fell asleep from a night of tears In a lonely hell and fetal position. I never saw his face or form, But I felt God's overwhelming peace And the place where his hand had lain. In the morning when I woke afresh, I saw the place where my angel sat; Realizing that the next year would hold The answer to my loud cries and tears, I made my bed and packed my bags And unlocked my bare room door. Going outside, I felt born again again Thanking God for Roberts Hall's womb. My First Year at Shorter College
