I Am For Peace
Yahweh is my light and my salvation,
Who shall i fear? !
I am for peace but when i speak to them,
They are for war! !
The heart of my people had grown hard,
And their ears are dull of hearing;
Yahweh is my witness but,
They are always setting traps for me.
With their eyes closed, how can they see?
The lusts of their own minds have dishonoured their bodies,
Like sheep without a shepherd;
I am for peace but when i speak to them,
They are for war.

Psalms in Poetry - Chapter 3
1 How countless stand my foes, O Lord!
How countless those against me, God!
2 How countless are those telling me,
‘His God won’t give him salvation! ’
3 But Yahweh is my shield beside,
My glory, holding my head high!
4 Whenev’r I cry to Yahweh, He
Answers from His holy mountain.
5 After I sleep, I shall wake up,
For Yahweh sustains me always.
6 I don’t fear people in thousands
Who stand against me when I turn.
7 Rescue me Yahweh, my dear God;
You strike my foes across their face;
You break the teeth of wicked ones.
8 In Yahweh, salvation is sure;
Your blessings rain on your people.

Yahweh
Oh Father Yahweh,
Help me to see your presence with your understandings;
And like the sweet love that spreads out for love,
I will always follow your laws of peace and love.
Why is the world like this?
For i am in the wilderness of Zin like,
The sins of my youth without any clue to move on.
The law is to be decided by a lot and,
Of the oracles of the one whose eyes are opened!
For Yahweh is not a man that He should lie.
The mouth of the donkey spoke and Balaam was surprised! !
So why cover your face and hold the gun of terror?
Surely, this thing is known; and surely, this thing is seen;
Because what is done in the dark is now exposed by the light.
Of a consuming fire!
From the Red Sea to the River Euphrates;
For Yahweh will surely provide for those who believe in Him.
I am for peace and those around me are for war,
You are for peace but those around you are for war,
So is this world of peace and hatred!
But, we have to fight on with peace at all times.

The High Priest
This voice and this poem,
With spiritual bodies to ask Yahweh for whatever we need;
For we will see this act with our own eyes!
The lost sheep are the Seed of Abraham,
And there is no way one can go to Yahweh! !
Except through Yahshua,
For He is the High Priest!

It Was Yahweh's Blessings
It was Yahweh's belssings,
And, i do than Him for everything!!
It came like a struggle without understanding anything!
But today, i do understand why it was so;
Because, Yahweh took me out of these people to make known His Name!!!
And at 'Nii Boi Town' today, we can say: 'Praise Yahweh! HalleluYahweh'!!

Foster
Yahweh is here with us like,
She who lifted her eyes and looked!
Yahweh is love and He is with us like,
He who lifted his eyes and looked!
But slowly at peace should your mind lead you on.
Come and see the daughters of this land,
They are like the beginning of the barley harvest!
But Foster, life is like the woman lying next to you.
Learn and be yourself at all times,
For you need to tell the world who you are too.

Sonnet: God's Warning to Shepherds!
‘My sheep lie scattered and not tended well.
I'll find new shepherds who will do this job;
To ones who failed their duty, ‘twill be hell;
From me, my sheep, no one can ever rob! '
‘Disaster to shepherds who don't take care
Of my loved sheep, who leave my pastures green;
I'll get new shepherds, fearless and will dare,
Preventing sheep, from getting lost from scene! '
‘In prophets, priests, now Godlessness prevails;
They do not preach to people what's God-say;
They tell own versions and their made-up tales,
Deluding people, leading sheep astray! '
‘So, prophesy what comes from Yahweh's mouth.'
The Lord declares, ‘Just speak the Gospel's truth! '

Agnes
Yahweh is my strength and my salvation,
So do not sink to the bottom of the sea like a stone;
For Yahweh is greater than all the gods (elohim) !
In the moon Ziv,
In the moon Bul,
In the moon Abib,
In the moon Ethanim,
Interwoven with chains for my love for you;
Oh Agnes! You are like Hiram, the King of Tyre.
Agnes my love,
Come and let us share this world so sweet;
For in the peace of my mind,
I will always wait for your love.

Rebekah
Yahweh has made my journey successful,
Like Rebekah and her maids;
For this message comes from Yahweh and,
We cannot speak evil against it.
You are always hungry and always eating,
How then can you grow thin?
But, i will not eat until i have told you my mind;
For life is not always about food.
Rebekah is your name and need to learn more,
For this world is not as you do see it always.

Jupiter
'Eyes have not seen nor ears heard,
But Yahweh has prepared a way for those who loves Him';
Yahweh has done great things for me and i am very glad!
For, the tongue of the wise uses knowledge correctly.
Jupiter! !
I will bring my knowledge from afar to you that you may learn;
For, anger kills a fool and envy slays the simpleton!
So, try to entertain your brain by learning and living by the right things always.
The wicked are not ready to listen to correction!
But, the sweet love of the laws have changed my life today;
And like the muse of love in the land of peace and joy! !

Desperate Are These Hours
Desperate are these hours lived that come,
To gather those shattered by slinging innuendos.
And windows once opened to welcome fresh air...
Are sealed to conceal a liveliness heard and shared!
People are afraid and scared to speak their minds.
Afraid of accusations and 'graped-vined' whines...
Descending upon their dwindling peace.
A peace of mind they fought hard to find!
Too many have released,
Little 'white lies' that have increased.
With eyes demonic and with evil tongues that speak!
Ruining lives as time flys by!
Desperate are these hours lived that come!
Leaving most to host their fear in panic,
Behind closed doors...
Bolting locks and ignoring knocks.
As those who boost the spread of scum...
Delight in their madness that has diseased everyone!

Psalms in Poetry - Chapter 2
1 Why this uproar from nations come
And people’s mutter impotent?
2 Why do kings take up positions
And princes plot against Yahweh
And His anointed upright ones?
3 Now let us break their fetters all;
Now let us throw away their bonds!
4 He who’s enthroned in heaven laughs,
And mocks at them for He’s Yahweh!
5 Then in His anger, rebukes them,
In rage, He strikes them with terror.
6 ‘I have anointed my own king
On Zion, my holy mountain.’
7 I will proclaim Yahweh’s decree;
He said to me, ‘you are my son;
I am your father therefore, son!
8 Just ask of me and I shall give
The nations as your birthright, son,
The whole world as your possession;
9 With iron scepter, you’ll break them
And shatter them like many pots!
10 So now, you kings, back to senses;
You earthly rulers, learn lessons;
11 Submit to Yahweh with great fear;
12 Kiss His feet, trembling with awe,
Lest His anger bring you to naught;
His fury flares up in moments!
How blessed are those in Yahweh’s refuge!

Psalms In Poetry - Chapter 23
1 I lack nothing as Yahweh’s my Shepherd!
2 He lets me lie on grass meadows;
To tranquil streams, He leads me by
3 Restoring my spirit that’s low;
In paths of saving justice that
Befit His name, He guides me well.
4 I shall not fear even to walk
In ravines deep and dark as death,
For, You are at my side always;
Your staff and crook are there to soothe;
5 Before the eyes of all my foes,
You set my table well-prepared;
With oil, you anoint my head too;
My cup is full and overflows.
6 Your faithful love and kindness both
Pursue me every day in life;
I make my home in Yahweh’s house
For times to come – eternally!

Elegance of Peace
Worn torn cities—inner city violence
Death, sorrow and misery
Feelings of discontent
Conceptualize with malcontent—
Atom bombs, nuclear holocaust
Peacemakers of the world
Man-made instrumentation of peace—
So where is the diplomacy in that?
Does it really exist—Hell No!
We speak of peace
With total annihilation
Maybe, because peace/violence
Are mirror twins of each other
Like good and evil—there is no existence without the other—
So is this the elegance of peace— that we speak of?
The peace that we envision for our children
Our ancestors created this fallacy of peace—
This ignorance of peace—created out of fear
The fear that has been nurture
Through centuries of embattlement
For the elegance of peace
The true embodiment of peace
Should not give way to mass-destruction—
Reconstruction of the mind
For the elegance of peace
Is harvested within our minds
Not within our technology—or weapons of destruction—
For Peace has been raped
Violated and reduced
To the ignorance of global insanity
This is our Elegance of Peace
OR IS IT?

Little Men
Little men speak so loudly on the ears of loud people,
Their heads spoke hard and heard many strict statements back;
Like the boats to cross the water of the river
A small task is to accomplish and carry out new sequences
In installing peace to our society;
Fear those tasks as little men who speak
And cowards turn their shame into loss.
Such power is maiming us, when it is called arrogance,
But when children sing in the clouds of heaven
The hard rain is making tears felt with rage and insolence
As they spoke too fast and noisily, they were never trained
Nor were rigours blending with the older lot.
A whole spoken sentence may blend as one aim, as a bending
Of light by a silver mirror.
Fear and then more than fear the children who practice offenses
On the tasks of our people.

My Shepherd
The son will not bear the iniquitiy of the father,
Nor will the father bear the iniquity of the son;
Search out for 'The Book Of Yahweh' and read,
There you will see it is written:
'Yahweh is my Shepherd and i shall not want'.

Okine
What is my crime and what is my sin that,
You 've hunted me like a thief? !
But the drought consumed me by day and,
The frost consumed me by the night;
For Yahweh has seen my affliction and labour of love.
'Yegar Sahadutta! '
The 'Heap of witness of Witness' came;
For i don't know what i have done to Okine.
I am torn by the wild beasts of his traps and,
I still don't know why he is against me;
but, i will be buried in my full old age no matter what!

The God Of Olympus
I can see it coming and i can see it occuring,
For many do not believe in the Name of Yahweh;
But the end comes and Only Few will be saved.
I can feel it at hand and i can smell it from afar!
For the people are glued on to The God of Olympus;
And today they have replaced the Name of Yahweh to Zeus.
