Theocracy

Denial comes in handy
Responsibility is ugly

But the rule always stands
What comes up goes down.

What man sows, he reaps.
All good returns with good

In the end we come to grip
To where our actions stood.

Evil returns the poison
Corrupting the character

Robbing man of reason
And ushers in disaster.

A Man Reaps What He Sows

Careless intent reaps much discord
And many a time, it harvests offense

A bitter root grows from our words
As the wounds it cuts are truly immense.

And God will not be mocked
A man shall reap all that he sows

Man's words be weighed the Good it lacked
For God does hear and knows.

Rights

Blatant disrespect is not a right
When another's freedom is transgressed

For to use your art to start a fight
Is like stepping down on the oppressed

And there the freedom draws a line
Cutting in what is called abuse

You have your rights and I have mine
Remember to put that art to good use.

Life Story

To Hope is life's necessity
To dream is Freedom sought,

Each day is Opportunity
Another step to Growth.

To Love is truly caring
Affection pure and good

And Faith in God believing
His Grace is spirit food.

To try again is Courage
And to work is Dignity

Thus recorded in our page
This is our Life Story.

Summer Breeze on My Face (Naani Form)

Summer breeze on my face
Touches like soft satin lace
Soothes like lingering melody
Brings back a memory.

Forgetting

Now comes the last goodbyes
The longing is no longer there
The sighing ceased and dry the eyes
Hearts now are free from love and care.

Words have emptied of their sweetness
Gazes are far and never meet
Blank looks that all speak of sadness
The promised future we now forfeit.

The stage is set for the forgetting
All things must end with time someday
Release the past with all forgiving
We tried to love but it's gone away.

Roots, Trees, and Fruits

A tree is known by its root
The source of its first life
A fruit is known by the tree
As a man is known through strife.

The root of a man is his family
The tree is the man that has grown-
The words that he writes in poetry
Show the rearing he has known.

Denial

Denial is a sorry state of confusion
Like closing one's eyes in the face of a fire
Like going to sleep in the midst of an earthquake
The weirdest reaction for a state so dire.

Denial is the easy escape for cowards
The open door for those unable to face fact
The ultimate withdrawal of all logic and thinking
The sad resort of those who are last to react.

Denial is fatal for those who run governments
For the nation may be crumbling or it may be attacked
The shoving away of truth is a dangerous treatment
It may cost a lot more than the security it lacked.

Denial is no leadership virtue but a Liability
And those who have practiced it may be judged later
Though the present may save them from all responsibility
The pages of History may not treat them any kinder.

Guilt's Toy

A chicken does not lay a chick,
It lays an egg.
A cartooned heart can never beat
Though it is red.
A dozen bells grouped up
Can never be a gong
And sounds mixed just enough
Can never birth a song.
Doves that fly to many places
Do not make each landing 'home'
Copied titles and some phrases
Cannot be woven to a 'poem'
Words and verses when stolen
May give a moment's joy
But mark this truth that in the end
That messed up life is Guilt's own toy.

Rainbows (Cinquain)

Rainbows
Span endless sky
Through distant lands and seas
Colors connecting you and I
With peace.

What A Friend Is

What is a friend?

One who stands with you
Through all the good and bad
Support you all the way through
Be there when you are sad.

One who can forgive
With whom you don't pretend
Though you have no wealth to give
He is always a true friend.

But when mistakes you make
He's ready with correction
He may hurt but not forsake
And will show the right direction

A friend has 'agape' love
You can always be who you are
He is a gift from God above
His loyalty goes very far.

'Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.'

Take Two

Angry goodbyes can break our hearts
Quick words released, they can resound

And open doors where Love departs
Then fleeting Joy cannot be found.

But like the dove that flies back home
One word of 'Sorry' can bring healing

Like a second read of a much-loved poem
That word returns the loving feeling.

Blessings Needed

Narrow roads and days with rain
Hone the man through life's seasons
Facing failures and some pain -
There's need for purpose and some reason.

But questions plague the righteous life
That lived at best, the Golden Rule,
For constant suffering and endless strife
Can break the back of the strongest mule.

Seems those who break the laws and such
Live life in velvet cushion, free!
Drink, make merry, and have so much
While the Good don't seem to have any.

Child, 'set your sights on things above'
And not on earthly things, ' t'was said-
But I was hoping the Lord above
Will bless me a little before I was dead.

For Curse Speakers/Writers

Your words deflect
Return to you
And shower devastation

You can expect
That these will do
Set forth all pronunciation

It will accomplish
All that grime
All wrong you ever wish

You speak your fate
In verbal slime
And fill your heart with hate.

Your words bear fruit
All that you say
In time they will grow root

You follow suit
With darkened days
And live in cursed loot

You dwell In profanity
And nullify the good

Cancelling prosperity
With evil as your food.

A Heart After God

A heart that looks at God above
Is always filled within
By the purest color of His love
And not by the shallowness of skin.

A heart that dwells with God all day
Has room there for His Word to keep
It always beats in Love to pray
And give to Him all due worship.

A heart that rests in God will be
In comfort filled with inner Peace
Its songs of Joy eternally
Flow from the Presence that is His.

A heart that hopes in God endures
Times of loss, or tears, or strife.
It knows His promises are sure
Here in this world and after life.

'For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you a hope and a future.' (Jeremiah 29: 11)

His Royal Nakedness

All the great crown jewels
Never can make a man wise.
And all his good education may well
Mirage the False in our eyes.

All the flimsy wealth and gold
Can't hide the inner vacuum there.
A hollow character sadly told
His imprudence everywhere!

Youth is never a good excuse
For Actions betray its Source.
From those where Leadership takes dues
Decency's always the right recourse.

While all the world has Poverty
And the working class aches with taxes,
The web is having such a big party
Seeing His Royal Nakedness.

Burning Words Cut Love Cords

Weighed down
By burning words

They sound
Like angry swords

Slain hearts
Now lie in discord

Depart...
And cut Love cords.

Identity Theft (Plagiarism)

A hidden terrorism,
Without an iota of shame-
This vile plagiarism-
More than stealing a name.

A written poem or story
Is a writer's signature
Stealing it is very
Viciously impure.

For taking on another
Person's work of art
Is like robbing him of self
Taking out his heart.

Putting on his person,
It's identity theft!
Whatever is your reason
I hope you end up deaf.

(And blind too.)

''Do not fret because of evil men, or be envious of the wicked,
for the evil man has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked
will be snuffed out.'

Take a Moment

Take a moment
To look into my eyes
Just before you leave
And say your last goodbye.

Take a moment
To hold me one last time
To feel the love we had
The time when you were mine.

Take a moment
To hear the beat of this heart
And know its pain in pleading
That you will not depart.

For this is time suspended
Engraved in eternity
When our Love had ended
And you are gone from me.
