As ye sow so shall ye reap

Tenebrous shadows congregate
and murmur surreptitiously.
About the vagaries of fate
and who or what they used to be.

Once powerful now powerless.
They complain interminably
but to the world have no access.
No power on earth can set them free.

They are condemned for their past sins
and all must serve their sentence out
But then of course new life begins
another chance of finding out.

Where they went wrong, try to amend
for hurts they caused deliberately.
Impossible now to pretend.
They see with renewed clarity.

That as you sow so shall you reap.
This simple law can’t be repealed.
That’s why the shadows wail and weep
because their sins lie unconcealed.

Each act recorded faithfully
there is no way that you can lie.
Although you acted furtively
you can’t escape the watchful eye.

Of your own deep subconscious mind
Recording what you did and why.
A monitor that’s well designed
to bring to light what you deny.

Yours is the only evidence
that karmic law will listen to.
No one can speak in your defence.
The faults are clearly down to you.

You are the jury and the judge
and you impose your own sentence.
No legal niceties to fudge
and no pretended penitence.

You join the other shadows who
wait in the dark impatiently.
To be reborn as someone new.
Your role selected carefully.

To give the opportunity
to undertake the tests again.
The tests you failed so miserably
by causing other people pain.

You’ll suffer as you caused them to
Their agonies will be redressed
your wickedness rebounds on you
Until the lesson is impressed.

If you succeed you can move on
It is entirely up to you.
Each life can teach a new lesson
as each life is intended to.

No one’s condemned eternally
you always get another chance.
Some learn their lessons easily
according to their circumstance.

But others find it very hard
and fail the test repeatedly.
A life of misery their reward
but they will learn eventually.

That what you give is what you get.
The scales must balance perfectly.
All other laws you can forget.
All men are treated equally

Scales of Justice

There is a law which guarantees
that as you sow so shall you reap,
there’s no point in not guilty pleas.
The record keeper never sleeps.

That which you give you will receive.
The correct balance must be kept
just simple justice I believe.
You have no choice you must accept

The punishment that you deserve.
Forget the lies you have been taught
repenting misdeeds will not serve.
Your protestations count for nought.

The scales must balance exactly.
The credit and the debit side,
no one is punished unjustly.
The law is equally applied.

There’s only you gives evidence
before a jury of your peers,
with wisdom and experience
to understand your hopes and fears

They will advise you that’s what they do.
About the things you need to learn
but the decisions left to you.
To choose to rest or quick return.

To start again with a clean sheet.
Another chance for you to earn
the merits needed to complete
the lessons which you need to learn.

Each life we live a step towards
a destination still unknown
Where we receive our just rewards
because we are at last full grown.

There can be no argument for M lady Resh bubbles

I do not know but I suspect.
That death is not as we expect.
Simply reward or punishment.

For things we failed to do or did.
No single action can be hid
Nor can our motive and intent.

Before the court to make my plea
I find the only judge is me.
I cannot plead I’m innocent

I know the things I did and why.
There is no way I can deny
The sins for which I must repent.

I was tempted and often fell
frequently the truth to tell.
Although sometimes with good intent.

I prosecute and I defend
but realise that in the end.
The laws of Karma represent.

Pure justice which applies equally
to everyman, no one is free.
Established by long precedent..

Though this lifetime you failed to learn
the only punishment you earn
You choose yourself and can’t resent.

Another life another start
you have to play another part.
You acquiesce and give consent.

A life you start with a blank sheet
your unlearned lessons to repeat.
All new born babes are innocent.

Foreordained?

I suffer from a malady
And have done since I first drew breath
I know this for a certainty.
The end result will be my death.

Why should I let this worry me?
I know that I have died before.
My soul will live eternally.
Each time I die I'm born once more.

Each life I must learn something new.
Something I have not learned before.
One life insufficient to
add enough knowledge to my store.

I must return again to learn
Each life I have to start anew
To garner credits which I earn
By doing what I have to do.

I can't access my memories.
I start each life with a clean sheet.
And build up knowledge by degrees.
Like other men I must compete.

To earn my place and gain respect.
It is entirely up to me.
There is no way I can expect
To earn my merits easily.

The obstacles I overcome.
Will be recorded faithfully.
Although I score the minimum..
I still progress although slowly.

Life is a journey all must make.
Although there is no urgency.
About the speed or road we take.
Because we have eternity.

We live we die we are reborn.
Always to different circumstance.
To poverty or else high born.
Each life provides another chance.

To move on towards the light.
Where we will know as we are known.
And gain the power of wingless flight.
Because we are at last full grown.

The journey to maturity.
We undertake at our own pace.
We can choose slowly or swiftly.
Until we reach the trysting place.

We will return from whence we came.
And become part of the oversoul.
We'll have succeeded in our aim.
To merge must be our final goal.

Life Is a Lesson

Life is a lesson.
Don't be afraid to live it!
Take what it gives...
And return to it a thankfulness.

Life is a lesson.
We all have tests to pass.
Some attempt to refuse their tasks.
And fall to to become indignant and crass.

Life is a lesson.
Learn your lessons well.
Some will choose a path to heaven!
Others will curse themselves...
Preferring to address their stressing hell!

Life is a lesson!
Do what is received as given...
And perceive with that,
You are doing you're best!
At least...
You are doing what you can and well!

Good or Bad, the Prayer

No more good or bad
There is only life and consequences, the truth is that.
I caused what comes to me,
I have the power to overcome by trusting in Thee.

Good or bad eventually destroys each other,
When I realize that I caused all matter.
However, all is for my own lesson and education,
When I learn I became stronger and have no more false temptation.

Walking through the valley of shadow of death,
Means all the sick around me who show what I can get.
If I follow them I end up where they are now,
They live in fear, anger, hatred, destroying life habits, greed
And they do not even know why and how.

All stories in the world teach the old lesson,
Only they hint a lot without explanation.
When I see through the darkened glass clearly,
My life changes and I step forward openly.

In this moment I cannot share what I feel and know,
Others don't understand what is my right or woe.
I just go on, face what comes with the perfect faith in goodness,
My life unfolds as it should, I have true happiness.
Everything works for good and God takes care of me,
I love life, expect the best, learn easily and happily in Thee.
Amen

Black & white and shades of grey.

The curfew marks the fading of the light.
Now is the time when shadows congregate.
In hidden corners where they wait.
To welcome eagerly the fall of night.
Although by daylight forced to hide from sight.
The fall of darkness sets the shadows free
To go about their business secretly.
The quiet hours when the shadows claim their right.
But dawn will come and with the dawn daylight.
The shadows then are forced to hide away.
Throughout the day, to wait impatiently
Counting the hours until the fall of night.
Though where the shadows hide no man can say
With any degree of accuracy.

Our Sins

Our sins are leading us away from the truth!
Our sins are causing all the troubles in this world,
Our sins are bringing about all these wars around us,
Our sins have torn us apart from love! !
And, we now hate each other in this world.
Glabal warming! !
And, it is all because of our sins;
Our sins have really destroyed everything around us.
Just watch the news!
Just listen to your neihbour!
Just look around you!
Just see how much hatred is being expressed among us!
Our sins have torn us apart from love.
Scenes, sins!
Of the scenes of life full of many troubles;
All in the name of our sins.
The Creator, whose Original Name is Yahweh,
Created us all with true love in many colours;
But, our sins have led us to hate each other on this earth.
Famine, disaster, sickness, accident, drought!
And all the global warming seen around us;
Are all caused by our sins because,
We failed to follow the Laws of Yahweh.

That's life

Although it took me many years.
I did discover finally
that all my hopes and all my fears
combined together made me, me.

I am the man I am today
because of life experience
There really is no other way you
have to learn in self defence.

You must accept that life’s unfair.
All are not gifted equally
you can observe this everywhere.
But only if you choose to see.

We recognise reluctantly
although we pay lip service to
the idea of equality
It is not and cannot be true.

Fate deals the cards you have to play.
You have no choice but do your best
to move forward- day by day.
To prove your better than the rest.

You grasp each opportunity
To put your talents to good use
but some lack your ability.
What fate decrees they can’t refuse.

All are not gifted equally.
You can’t deny that this is true
if you look at it honestly
and that is all I ask from you.

One Cannot Save the Whole World.

However, one can save one of few
Because everybody is on their way, eventually all became new.
Life is a school room for all of us here,
Miracle do not happen too often, at last until we became sincere.

If one has a bad life style which ruins the health,
One cannot be healed in a moment.
When continues that same which caused the first time,
No way the miracle will help, not even in another prime.

What can we do? Just go on, tell what is on your mind,
But do not try hard, just relax, do your best and unwind.
Whoever understand what you try to teach,
Call it good, be content with those, who you can reach.

There is no place to pick up an argument,
Try to prove only your way is competent,
Love the people who listens to your idea,
Let go the rest, let them learn their lesson in what is their area.

However, do not just read other messages,
Politely say something nice until it fits your experiences,
Or just tell the person to read your poem,
When you just want to get more attention on your system.

So, teach something positive which can help others
Give the world what knowledge you gathered, love your brothers
With negative messages you ruin more life,
When you rattle about your misery, giving them more strife.

This is the way the world goes around,
Do your bet to give others whatever you found,
In the last days we will edit each other,
As the Bible predicts, do your best to make life better.

Least said soonest mended

Least said soonest mended

I am condemned to wonder why
I cannot make an apt reply.
When someone has insulted me.
I find I can quite easily

but only when it is too late
Why can’t I just retaliate?
when someone has insulted me.
At the time immediately.

Perhaps I’m taken by surprise
perhaps because I am too wise.
When someone has insulted me
to take the insult seriously.

Though I must say in self defence
I am not quick to take offence
when some one has insulted me
I hold on to my dignity.

I will not be an easy mark
to be hurt by some chance remark.
Perhaps they weren’t insulting me
but merely meant to disagree

I simply smile and let it go
I do not really want to know.
If they were insulting me.
It hasn’t worked as they can see.

Blind Justice for friend Thad

Grey stone walls wherein confined.
A prisoner can meditate
upon the life he left behind
and curse the vagaries of fate.

What weeps upon the withered walls?
sad shadows from his distant past.
His subconscious does not rest at all.
Reminding him that time can pass.

At different rates according to
the differing of circumstance
When he knew freedom the time flew
But when confines there’s little chance

Of happiness that once knew.
Heed now the knocking on the door.
The iron door which will lead to
the gallows then to nothing more.

What glow through the barred window streams?
The last rays of the setting sun.
Never in his wildest dreams
did he believe he’d be the one.

To die when he was innocent.
For something which he had not done.
It seems that fate will not relent
and that his time is nearly gone.

He has appealed to no avail.
The court confirms that he must die.
The stoutest heart is bound to quail
when facing death. Though he will try

to show that he is not afraid.
There is still chance of a reprieve
Which would correct the error made.
He has no choice but to believe.

That some last minute miracle
will save him from the hangman’s noose.
He knows it is illogical
its all he has. He cannot choose.

To just accept and give up hope.
Although it is improbable.
He might escape the hangman’s rope
He still believes it’s possible.

Who’s are the footsteps he can hear.
which hesitate outside his door.
It opens and confirms his fear.
The chaplain and the governor.

Jimmy

Jimmy
It started out with a few misfortunes
His daddy ran off with some broad from the motown
When momma said we're leavin tomorrow
Jimmy already had his things together
So many days of thinking of the past
The girl he left behind and hangin out in the
free streets
Somehow Jimmy had survived his reflections
The broken glass in his hands, a noose before him
Said he did it before
He's gonna do it again
Give him a fix and a bottle and he won't complain
Until he's blue in the face
Jimmy's the leader of a losin' race
Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson
You always know what you were missin'
Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem
Just a kid with no direction
Some people say it was fright that drove him
But Jimmy knows who's really scared of difference
The whipping boy won't take his beating
It only left them alone to their thinking
Of how he knew what they could never know
And he would live and learn to be himself
through his mistakes
Watch and laugh, pretend they were okay
Waiting for things to change is just another day
Said he did it before
He's gonna do it again
Give him a fix or a bottle and he won't complain
Until he's blue in the face
Jimmy's the leader of a losing race
Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson
You always knew what you were missin'
Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem
Just a kid with no direction
Hey Jimmy don't you walk away
We'll look at life according to me
You're my life support auto biography
Hey Jimmy take a look inside
Let's take a chance, enjoy the ride
Impressions don't die
No one knew your story
Hey Jimmy did you learn you lesson
You always knew what you were missin' (Jimmy)
Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem
Just a kid with no direction (Jimmy)
Hey Jimmy did you learn your lesson
You always knew what you were missin' (Jimmy)
Hey Jimmy did you solve the problem
Just a kid with no direction (Jimmy)
Hey Jimmy now your free

Self Condemned.

The sound of silence echoing,
beneath an unforgiving sky.
This is the place of reckoning.
All my past sins parading by.

I am abandoned and alone.
As I know I deserve to be.
Is there no way I can atone
for things I did unthinkingly?

Must I endure this misery
behind the walls which I have built.
Condemned to watch eternally
the evidence of my past guilt.

But love can reach you even there
Love can absolve you of your sin
and rescue you from black despair.
But first you must invite love in.

Love holds the key to set you free
from self imposed imprisonment.
Accept love unconditionally.
Release from your predicament.

You’re not as guilty as you feel.
You are no worse than other men
Why should you then try to conceal
your guilt.. It’s Time to start again.

Absorb the lessons from the past
Resolve this time you’ll get right
and in due course you’ll find you’ve passed
from darkness into bright sunlight.

Love Is A Crime

Oooh Yeah

If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me to life
If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
Some might say I'm guilty of loving the first degree
If the jury wants to lock me up and throw away the key
There's no greater punishment than what I face inside
Won't tamper with the evidence cause there's nothing to hide
(He lives inside my heart)
(I'm in the middle too)
I'm in the middle too
(You never had a clue)
Unless you felt it too
(If love is a crime) baby
I'd do my time

(You can) sentence me
Sentence me to life
(If love is a crime) baby
I'd do my time
(Whether it's wrong or right)
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
Better tell the truth, just let me plead my case
The thief who stole my heart from me I couldn't let escape
He's my only alibi, but I won't drop a dime
So how can I give up to you, my partner in crime
(He lives inside) my heart
(I'm in the middle too)
Ooh yeah yeah
(You never had a clue)
Unless you felt it too
(If love is a crime) baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
(If love is a crime) baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me
(Sentence me to life)
You can take away my freedom
But you can't take my love from me
I won't die a lonely prisoner
'Cause my heart will set me free
Oooh ooh yeah
Whooh!

Last Man for friend J.T.Early

I am alone, last of my race
The reign of man is nearly done
I wonder who will take our place.
I am the last and only one.

WE had our chance but failed the test.
Our foolish pride ensured we would
Because we thought that we knew best
instead of living as we should.

We chose instead belligerence
and Might is Right became our creed.
Despite the mounting evidence
that we wrong we paid no heed.

We flouted Mother Nature’s rules
Took much more than our rightful share
A race of self destructive fools
for others rights we did not care.

It had to come it was bound to.
She’d reached the end of her patience
and knew exactly what to do.
So she unleashed a pestilence.

Against which man had no defence.
The doctors failed although they tried
they simply lacked the competence.
Each passing day more people died.

I am alone last of my race
and I too soon must leave the stage.
I wonder who will take our place
to usher in a brand new age.

Why should you believe me?

I guarantee that you can be
from this day forth quite vampire free..
Don’t turn away, listen to me
It is quite free there is no fee.

I do not ask that you pay me
nor even ask you to agree.
Vampires can bite so suddenly
and then you live eternally.

Driven by hunger constantly
you will thirst uncontrollably.
Every throbbing throat you see
as a meal tantalisingly.

If this is what you want to be.
Then just ignore me pointedly
As people do ignorantly.
In my opinion foolishly.

No crucifix can guarantee
your permanent security.
From a blood drinking entity
Who has selected you to be.

Provider of his energy
He’ll drink your life blood thirstily.
You should consider carefully
this awful possibility.

Because there is no remedy.
Once bitten you’re condemned to be
numbered amongst the enemy
and will be so eternally

It is your choice you are quite free.
To turn away mistakenly.
Convinced that I talk crazily
Although I’m offering honestly.

That I can truly guarantee
that I can make you permanently.
Quite safe from any vampire who might be
regarding you as possibly.

A victim he can easily
subdue because you foolishly.
Refuse advice that’s offered free.
Perhaps you doubt my honesty.

So go your way but carefully
I cannot force you to agree.
Although choice saddens me.
I will continue hopefully.

To offer folks the chance to be
protected permanently for free.
from dangers which they do not see.
Although they threaten constantly.

The vampires walk abroad quite free
from questions of morality.
They can appear to be friendly
Before they pounce on you greedily.

So take my warning seriously
Some friends are not what they seem to be.
You can be fooled so easily
by monsters acting charmingly.

Give The People In The World A Chance

Give the people in the world
A chance to embrace peace
Give the people in the world
A chance to make friends
Give the people in the world
A chance for a better education
So it can help them to get
A better paying job
Give the people in the world
A chance for them to love each other
Give a chance for the people in the world to pray
Give a chance for the people in the world to learn
To be happy
Give a chance for the people in the world to learn
To eat healthy
And to learn to take better care of their health
Give a chance for the people in the world to learn how to relax
And to learn how to cope with their anger

Qualified by experience for M 'lady Tara

The university of life
does not award fancy degrees.
Nor does it charge tuition fees.

Enrols you automatically
at birth involuntarily.
Provides the opportunity.

To learn by hard experience.
The lessons that you need to know.
The trials you must undergo.

The challenges you have to face.
Determine if you pass or fail.
What matters is that you prevail.

Pursue your dreams relentlessly.
Success or failure’s up to you
You will receive what you are due.

No more no less than what you’ve earned.
With life experience as your guide
you face the future qualified.

To over come the obstacles
which are imposed by circumstance.
At least you have a fighting chance.

Paper degrees don’t guarantee
that you can face adversity.
And win hands down defiantly.

Unlike life’s university.
Which teaches you what you can do
to overcome what troubles you.
