A powerful idea communicates some of its strength to him who challenges it.

Truly, the challenges we face are not Democratic challenges or Republican challenges. In fact, they are not political challenges at all; they are fiscal challenges, and educational challenges, and the challenges of figuring out how to take care of each other.

“My Inspiration”
Every one of us needs inspiration
My inspiration is more powerful than yours
I can do all things that is impossible to you
I’ll make a way and all things I can do.
Morning shines as you always saw me
At night as cold as you always with me
My strength comes from yours
At challenges come I will face for you.
You’re my key to open my door
You’re my will to achieve my goal
So I don’t want to lose you
I will do everything to protect you.
You give me hope
-when all’s lost
Whatever happen I’ll be with you
Because I’m sure all things I can do
If you’re with me and I’m with you.

Strength Carried Is Done
A tested strength some try to break...
As few come to know it in its invisible state.
Some need validation for this to keep it admitted.
And some are restricted to fulfill limitation.
It seems those who are of strength,
Seek not to keep it acknowledged.
Like a degree earned from college.
Framed to hang as a reminder...
As an enhancement to document challenges.
With accomplishments achieved.
And a strength carried is done.
Sometimes unwelcomed by those feeling threatened.

An Idea
An Idea can change the world, how many
things can be done from an idea, every piece
of object was an idea, sense the beginning of
time idea was the first thought created in the
mind, an idea is what surround’s every being.
But an idea is still only an idea and it can't be
felt, you cannot touch an idea or kiss it, or hold it,
ideas do not bleed or feel pain or love, an idea
cannot be seen or heard, its created in our thoughts,
but then again an idea can become real. An idea
can be what ever you which it to be, an idea can
be destructive, an idea can be brilliant, I've seen
people get killed in the name of ideas, ideas,
we walk around with a little
light bulb blinking in our thoughts, ideas.

There is nothing in the world more powerful than an idea. No weapon can destroy it; no power can conquer it except the power of another idea.

Emphasization to Dilemmanize
With an emphasization to dilemmanize,
I seek to be basic.
And fresh I feel!
As if I've taken a mental enema.
Ridding my mind of toxins,
Seeking to pollute my thoughts...
With leftover BS I don't need.
And it can become quite difficult to process,
Those ideals that may have a chance...
Against those that do not snap quickly into focus.
Challenges that come too easy,
Aren't challenges.
I can say there has been times,
The elimination could have been less traumatic...
IF I had not tried to impress myself.
And I have no idea when that started.
However...
Playing with a full 'deck'
Has not always been an ambition.
As it is of late!
'What is this you are talking about now? '
I have no clue whatsoever!

Only as a warrior can one withstand the path of knowledge. A warrior cannot complain or regret anything. His life is an endless challenge, and challenges cannot possibly be good or bad. Challenges are simply challenges.

The Lord Is King
The Lord is King, and weareth
A robe of glory bright:
He clothed with strength appeareth,
And girt with powerful might.
The earth He hath so grounded
That moved it cannot be;
His throne long since was founded,
More old than time is He.
The waters highly flowed,
And raised their voice, O Lord;
The seas their fury showed,
And loud their billows roar'd.
But God in strength excelleth
Strong seas and powerful deeps;
With Him all pureness dwelleth,
And firm His truth He keeps.

Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life - think of it, dream of it, live on idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success.

Philippians 4: 13
The strength to resist the night
The strength to endure the day
The strength to keep righteous paths in sight
The strength to take them without delay
The strength to find a purpose in life
The strength to find the truths it brings
The strength to kick away from strife
The strength to stabalize the rock it clings
The strength to light a friend’s day up
The strength to resist wrathful foes
The strength to fill a stranger’s dry cup
The strength to shun sin when it opposed
The strength to feel a injured man’s pain
The strength to hold a reject’s hand
The strength to act against any gain
The strength to love without demand
The strength to understand that our King
Has blessed us with more than we can contain
Therefore regardless what time may bring
The strength will continue to reign

Misanthrope
I hand myself these challenges
and if I win
I preen;
I hand myself these challenges
and if I lose
knowledge and experience I guess I gain;
I hand myself still greater challenges
and hope they don't
ending up educating me to death.
Surviving then
the worst of these,
if lucky,
I could be crippled for life
but end up very very wise.
You know actually
I'd rather skip
the educated, crippled and possibly dead part
and perhaps too
skip the my birth itself
and go straight to heaven in one piece
one day and still healthy,
where God and and I would discuss
the Joys and the Dreads of Earthly Life
in the presence of the angels
and delightful cherubic lads.
Thereby I would gain immortality
and never ever
have to get dead.
Humm..
All in all
I think
this idea is best in many ways.
But if you are reading this
you are already alive
the both of us having made our first mistake;
that of having been born
and probably depending on age
very very very wise.
Womb Returns and Pilgrimages
are clearly out of the question
and therefore I will have to
stop complaining
and make the best
of life here on earth;
weary simile on my face
and reconciled
to the wise joys
of this Earthly
Grand In-Between.
