Managed By Miscreants
The terrors of tomorrow collide with monsters
To observe the days of honour,
Those fruitful events of the orders of man.
These events command swimming sailors,
Those few miscreants engaged in idol-worship;
A management was an altar of the highest virtue
And duty. I do not know fortnights and weeks
Of pleasure.
The terra firma formed from the crust
Excels with our spirits of jars and armour.
The whole pottery emerges in the form of thoughts
Thoroughly excellent.
The terror shades the self from the sun or the star
That reigns over shaking earth.
My terrible tense world is afire,
Without the needs of an acting monster.

Firma Terror (Unavailable On LP)
Written by: G. G. Beers
Length: 3:05
Lyrics:
Here on terra firma
The violence is spreading
The walls are collapsing
Into your back yards
Here on terra firma
The fires are raging
The riots up staging
To prove a point to none
Here on terra firma
The fear is choking
The life out of each and every one
Here on terra firma
Where TV is King
Where a black man with the same name
Had a televised beating
It's not too late
Yeah it's never too late
To heal these wounds
That are fatal to the end
To understand our sins
To make amends
See 'em down in hell
Must turn back the tide
This hatred must be stopped
Let's throw our arms out wide
And the dead are breaking in
When your world comes to an end
Will you say you did all could
And then just hang your head
Why not believe
In the good of man
Not bricks and burn
Take all that you can
To love your fellow man
With all of your heart
As you would yourself
We must try not to stand above
And hate you go to hell
Put love in your heart
God is not some TV show
Our life is not some part
Try to believe
That only good will come
If you give not to receive
That is kingdom come
Here on terra firma
The violence is spreading
Spread to your back yard
Here in firma terror
Leads to hatred and unrest
Not only can we beat it
No, that would be best

When Terra Firma Earthquake Volcano Tsunami Erupts
Earth terra firma safe solid earth under your feet
the Latin phrase terra earth, firma solid, reminds
dry land mass are all safe solid earth beneath feet
continents islands are solid land mass on earth’s surface
but land is not immovable affixed to one solid spot land
is a mobile surface divided into moving tectonic plates
plate boundaries mobile move at relative rates as plates
move against each other enormous pressure builds
up must be released through earth movement the result
natural hazard events earthquake volcano tsunami erupt

Events changing,
Events changing,
Events come and change me,
My will and value in society,
You have all the value,
Sincerely I kept on thinking,
That the greatest value in the world is a change,
We have to change these events,
Think that the world volition is building us,
My value on earth will never die,
Sincerely this is the great choice,
I perceive that freedom is on my face,
Thinking and acting on the right choices,
There is a liberation of the soul,
Building an inner thought,
That my value in society will never die,
I will flourish with a blessing,
That in all my efforts I found the crown,
Let the heavenly Creator build this inner soul within me.

Chirping Monsters
He was chirping like an escaped bird,
Wings were aloft in the stations
Suppressing time and its quality
From the start to the finish,
He was chirping like a poetic disorder
As the birds sing and the monsters linger.
Senseless, the redundant beasts have furnished
The earth with its crust,
And the bird's flight shall shine, shovelling the air
With both beaks after both wings.
The flight fades away in fighting fairness,
Eating entrances for the terrors
Inside tense beasts and limbs.
The monsters shake after attacks,
Inside the life we have run accordingly.

You see, it's never the environment; it's never the events of our lives, but the meaning we attach to the events - how we interpret them - that shapes who we are today and who we'll become tomorrow.

I'm like a decathlete who does all of the events he's used to, but is being forced by certain circumstances to focus on three events, and being forced to focus on events that he wasn't that interested in, and also weren't his strongest events.

Wonderful or supernatural events are not so uncommon, rather they are irregular in their incidence. Thus there may be not one marvel to speak of in a century, and then often enough comes a plentiful crop of them; monsters of all sorts swarm suddenly upon the earth, comets blaze in the sky, eclipses frighten nature, meteors fall in rain, while mermaids and sirens beguile, and sea-serpents engulf every passing ship, and terrible cataclysms beset humanity.

Every Tomorrow
There are days when yours spirits are down,
and others when your spirits are high.
Then there are days, when you want to sit down
and have a damn good cry.
We all get these days, no matter who we be.
Then tomorrow, you have forgotten those feelings,
and you’re on top form again.
That is just how things work my friend.
The key to the situation
is not to dwell on things.
Push yourself forward,
to reach whatever goals you want.
Every tomorrow, can bring a brighter day.
That’s what you want to remember,
when things start getting you down.

In Complete Control
The Lord above moves this world, through events divinely unfurled,
Unveiling events for nations to see, the hand of the God of Eternity.
Working beside man’s wickedness, to move some to righteousness,
While bringing true hope in our time, through events which are divine.
Events that attest to the Revelation, from The God of all of Creation,
With many events from the past, pointing to time that will forever last.
Hopefully moving the heart of man, to fully embrace His Eternal Plan,
As these times continues to unfold, towards the Age for all to behold.
And The Lord is in complete control, of God’s Created Terrestrial Ball,
Watching over all He does cherish, and wanting not any man to perish.
Although man may die on the earth, God offers every man a new birth,
From Him, it’s a new birth spiritually, so we can live through all eternity.
God’s control doesn’t hinder man, from following Satan’s wicked plan,
For many ignore God’s Revelation, while they reject His only Salvation.
That’s why earth is full of adversity, being fomented by Satan’s iniquity,
But it shall not continue to flourish, for under Christ, all evil shall perish.
As all iniquity will be cast into Hell, with sin and death by Christ, as well,
When God’s control will see the end, to all of Satan’s iniquity my friend.
And He who controls Heaven above, shall fill all the earth with His Love,
When in God’s Sovereign control, He purges earth of every wicked soul.

Virtue is its own reward, and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure; but if we cultivate it only for pleasure's sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.

Licia Sonnets 01
Bright matchless star, the honour of the sky,
From whose clear shine heaven's vault hath all his light,
I send these poems to your graceful eye;
Do you but take them, and they have their right.
I build besides a temple to your name,
Wherein my thoughts shall daily sing your praise;
And will erect an altar for the same,
Which shall your virtues and your honour raise.
But heaven the temple of your honour is,
Whose brasen tops your worthy self made proud;
The ground an altar, base for such a bliss
With pity torn, because I sighed so loud.
And since my skill no worship can impart,
Make you an incense of my loving heart.
Sad, all alone, not long I musing sat,
But that my thoughts compelled me to aspire;
A laurel garland in my hand I gat,
So the Muses I approached the nigher.
My suit was this, a poet to become,
To drink with them, and from the heavens be fed.
Phoebus denied, and sware there was no room,
Such to be poets as fond fancy led.
With that I mourned and sat me down to weep;
Venus she smiled, and smiling to me said,
Come drink with me, and sit thee still, and sleep.
This voice I heard; and Venus I obeyed.
That poison sweet hath done me all this wrong,
For now of love must needs be all my song.

Time Itself
Time has presented itself,
Rolling and naming the highest thoughts.
We are uneasy as to which thoughts are correct;
Why do thoughts arrive so highly?
The language of time is here,
We have the roads to all events.
There are holes to fill and findings to make
As you carry your share of time about.
Time is presentable and is leader of all substances.

Well Actions
Worship accordingly, well are the actions
And the deeds concern us having an ordeal.
In our banks of thoughts we have an ordeal
For the money to grow on the heavenly branches.
The worship is like a gun offering dispositions,
Outings collide with other people’s outings
And the interiors of their homes keep life.
Will we consider the options laid before us?
Then please accept me as prayer has been offered
To collide with, without my help there is nothing.

Somebody ' Fictitious
Poetic Form: Envelope Couplet
Somebody set my heart afire,
Somebody filled me with desire.
I cannot speak his name today
It's a secret ~ hidden away!
Someone took me higher and higher
Somebody set my heart afire.
Somebody set my heart afire;
A handsome man, I still admire.
Once he asked me to 'name the day'
I couldn't. What would husband say?
'Twould be treachery, love for hire.
Somebody set my heart afire.
Somebody set my heart afire,
and I was sinking into the mire,
Mad about him ~ I told him so,
But this was many years ago.
Since then I've walked along barbed wire.
Somebody set my heart afire.

My Star is all Back Again,
My Star is all back again,
My Star is all back again,
Iam reflecting my picture through flames to see Truth,
Ofcourse mankind hast done more than Enough,
My Star is reflected from most Events,
That we can Surpass all that is Evil,
We are able to see Blessedness from Life,
Life and the Grace of God will bring back Love,
Iam not waiting for another choice,
But that I may reflect where I came from,
This is the choice that I had,
I can perceive all Clearly,
That my Timing is all a FLOW of events,
We are moving so fast whilst mankind is Ignoring facts and Truth's about Life.

TENSION (Revised)
No use reading positive books if I cannot
survive your grumbling complaints about
wonderful events – like visits from family
and friends I see as privileges which are
infringements of your privacy
No escaping suffocation today, you fell
victim to symptomatic fears about the
future while my mind stuck on Station
Worry; a surprise visit depressed, tomorrow
will bring more of the same –
Your unhappiness stifles my anxious
attempts to be sanguine, hopeful and glad,
the world threatens, full of monsters and
hateful events – it should be a fairytale,
even books fail to provide sanctuary
Can’t sleep or fit soft mattress curves,
torture is the floor, nerves charging my
body like high-tension wire: Spiritualists
say I can rise above this but I have a long
way to go before I can age gracefully
I guard my hope, trust and visions of future
and past jealously, even the fraudulent – as
long as composition harmony is supreme…

Those Left Behind
Right after the trumpet sound, Christians on earth won’t be found,
For all Believers will be with, that One who was God’s perfect Gift.
While those left behind will enter in, a time lead by the Man of Sin,
Partnered with the devil who, today deceives men like me and you.
A time that unbelievers will see, the events described in Prophecy,
The prophetic words of our Lord, that by many have been ignored,
Events, for centuries prophesied, upon this earth, won’t be denied,
As the events that prophecy foretold, on this earth begin to unfold.
With God’s Church out of the way, ahead for all left’s a darker day,
All being lead with little suspicion, by the revealed son of perdition.
A man presently walking this earth, hindered by those of New Birth,
As God’s Restrainer lives inside, all those, who now in Christ abide.
This man filled with Satan’s wrath, shall lead men on a slippery path,
Declaring a peace man will not see, leading all into a darker Eternity.
The world when filled with unbelief, from Antichrist, will see no relief,
But the wrath poured from the sky, by The Lord, who reigns on high.
All who refused God’s salvation, will see firsthand God’s Revelation,
When Christ comes to defeat evil, fulfilling a Holy God’s perfect will,
From God’s Wrath that is stored, Judgment on all evil will be poured,
On the darker powers of all iniquity, as it’s swept away for all eternity.
From each trumpet, seal and bowl, the Wrath of God will take its toll,
Destroying Antichrist and friends, when all iniquity, Lord Jesus ends,
Binding Satan below the earth, as His Reign of Peace, God will birth,
When Christ comes to earth again, to rule and reign for a millennium.
