and why did He choose the manger, and Mary and Joseph?

and why did God chose
the manger for the seat
of his birth and Mary his
physical mother and
Joseph the carpenter?

he chose the place of the
poor, the innocent face of
the unsophisticated woman,
the callous hands of the
simple carpenter in the
small town of nowhere,

he chose simplicity and
poverty, he never chose
us, our place, our time,

because he may not have
liked it at all. Too rich,
too arrogant, too shiny,
and so dirty.

I Chose Hope

I chose to hope again today
To believe in beauty,
In sunsets,
In the rain

I chose to laugh again
To dream,
To dance
And to sing with abandonment

I chose joy instead of despair
Smiles instead of many tears
Colors replaced the dull
And a rainbow filled my vision

When all around me I could not see
And when the coffee was toxin in my blood
When the world was full of trouble and nothing else
I chose hope

Hope discovered,
For a while undecided
Hope now declared
Hope

I chose to dream of a better day
To wish for things unseen
To search for the unimaginable

I chose to place my hope above
Hope not in mans strength or ability
Not in political systems,
in racial tribalisms,
in ethnic loyalties

Birthed out of a love that endures all things,
I chose hope that never fails
Hope for today and hope for tomorrow
I chose hope

I Could Not Love You

There're a billion people in the world
All of them equal but of different worth
I find you to have a value equaled by no other
You are a rare and beautiful flower
But I'm sorry that I could not favor you
And make you the queen of my heart as I should
That instead I chose a different group
And I chose to favor them more than you

To favor a person means that you are two
And I'm sorry that I could not be with you
And a favored another one more fair
Although you are a true queens heir
And amongst a million kings and princesses
You always claimed that you were the fairest
And though your heart is the kindest I knew
I apologies that I could not favor you
And instead I chose to favor another
Not your equal, but not your better

I see a million faces each day but only acquaint with a few
You and I went different ways so I could not favor you
You and I once had our chance but I chose to let it go
You had no fault at all as I made the choice alone
And instead I chose to look for another
And I did favor them more than you
Although in my eyes you are a flower
I'm sorry that I could not be with you
And value you as a queen like I should
But just as I favored another more than you
Another favors you more than any other
And chose to be with you and no-other

Multiple Choices That Saved Me

You Chose:
………… to leave heaven and come to earth
………… to be born by a virgin birth
………… not to give in to temptation
………… but to die for my salvation.

You Chose:
………… not Your way but Your Fathers will
………… to climb the steep Calvary hill
………… to hang upon that cross for me
………… to give Your life and set me free

You Chose:
………… for me, to give Your final breath
………… to enter into the realms of death
………… to conquer death that I might live
………… to cry out loud, 'Father forgive'

Reasons

(reba mcentire)
I prefer yellow roses to daisies
Ill take the mountains over a postcard view
Ill order steaks every time instead of hot dogs
Thats why I chose him over you
I like to love somebody handsome rather than ugly
I like happiness instead of being blue
I like to talk real late at night after making love
And thats the reasons I chose him over you
Well I dont know how I ever did without him
And I dont understand why I put up with you
Well I know that the sun shines the brightest when youre happy
So go ahead and think just what you want to
But I promise what I just told you is true
Oh I love him so much and he loves me too
And thats the reasons I chose him over you
Just some of the reasons I chose him over you
Oh over you

Assessments to Seduce

Address this any way you wish.
But during my grief periods...
God was with me.
And both of us sat in sorrow alone.

Your judgements passed on me does not matter.
Nor your assessments to seduce your reality.

Address this any way you wish.
But during my grief periods...
God was with me.
And both of us sat in sorrow alone.

I chose to heal.
I chose to sing.
I chose to dance and do those things.

Your judgements passed on me does not matter.
Nor your assessments to seduce your reality.

I chose to stand.
I chose to walk.
I chose the Sun!
Not the miseries others wished upon me to bring.
Hoping from obstacles faced,
I would run.

Address this any way you wish.
But during my grief periods...
God was with me.
And both of us sat in sorrow alone.

I chose to heal.
I chose to sing.
I chose to dance and do those things.

And whatever it is prioritized on your agenda?
I wish you all the best!
But don't count on me,
To give it attention with signs of protest.

I have chosen to ignore people like you.
Knowing that a focus on my own happiness...
Is what God wishes!
And that gift God has given...
Has proven to me I am blessed!

Address this any way you wish.
Your judgements passed on me does not matter.
Nor your assessments to seduce your reality.

I have chosen,
The freedom to be me.

Are We So Blind

You look at him the one we chose to lead
He does appear so ordinary indeed
Are we so blind that through him we cannot see
If he's so average how stupid are we?

To have bestowed such great power on him in the first place
One so lacking in charm and wisdom and in grace
Than him a child has far more knowledge in his brain
Our choice of leader beyond me to explain.

The middle class to the wealthy he only represent
In a Land where far too many are homeless without even a tent
For to shelter from the cold and wind and rain
From the poverty of others far too many stand to gain.

The one we chose as our leader is so far from great
Though each day more millionaires he does create
For each new millionaire more are in poverty
Our sort of leaders we deserve it seems to me.

Exactly the Way It Is Seen

It is pointless to review,
A detriment that has been done.
Pointless it is to ask opinions,
From anyone.

It is exactly the way it is seen.
And the steps to get it there...
Were placed with all aware.
Some preferred to see it for what it was.
While others chose to have it disguised...
And they are the ones unbelieving,
The realities on the scene!

And to chase for explanations,
From those who put in place the degradation.
Is to verify the obvious...
Some chose to see others and not themselves,
Being demeaned!

Now that 'melting pot' is hot!
With all knowing what it is like to be burned!

I'll Be Spending My Time Flying!

If I chose to fly...
And you chose to deny I could.
Guess which one of us,
Would not be thinking of the thoughts
Of the other?
And with denial on your mind,
I'll be spending my time flying!
Feeling the breeze,
To leave doubts of limitation behind!

Why

My heart skips a beat,
When I see you.
We've known each other,
For a long time now.

I am shy,
But you say hi.
I look behind me,
As you walk away.

Your eyes,
Hypnotize me.
Your lips,
Oh so sweet.

Every girl,
Wants you.
But you chose me,
And that makes me crazy.

You chose me,
Out of everyone else.
And I wonder everyday,
Why?

slUmdOg's cHase for liFe

Born with nothing, marked by poverty
Lived like a dog, treated impatiently and unhuman,
Discrimination received, mocks from the upper kind
Until when and where will they run?

Run, your kind, run!
Fill your stomach, battle hard for survival,
You, who's surrounded by other's greed
Whom you will seek for help?

Trusted no one but yourself
You chose to chase life on what you know is best,
The aftermath of what you chose will give you rest!

I Could Have Been a Sailor

I'm a happy woman
I made my choice in life
I chose to settle down
I chose to be a wife
And I take pleasure in my quiet hearth
And happy home
I never gave my heart
Its chance to roam

I could have been a sailor
And sailed the seven seas
The wind in my face all day
Can you taste the salty breeze?
I could have been a lover
Watchin' waves before me part
But I settled for safer harbors
Of my heart

I'm a lucky woman
I'm the envy of my peers
Never ask for favors
And I never show my fears
Surrounded by too many friends

Gender Imbalance

All he wanted
was one woman.
To love him
ardently always.

One woman.
One faithful woman.
To love ardently.
To love throughout eternity.

She worshiped
Mammon. Money.
He will be deserted.
Together. Never. Forever.

Money is her security.
She knows not. True love.
True Love Is Recipe.
For True Soulful Security.

She chose Mammon.
She chose Money Honey.
She chose not Agape.
She chose not Eros.

‘Mammon is riches
personified as evil’.
‘Wealth regarded as a God
or evil influence’.

Mammon. ‘The god of greed’.
‘The acquiring of wealth[, ]
and belief[, ] that is the most
important thing in life’.

For Mammon he was lost.
For Mammon was her boss.
They will be together.
Together Forever Never.

Dedicated to wise Louise
who believes
money is security.

And knows that people
have a better life, with it,
than without it?

To Louise who lives
like all realistic women
by the balance sheet.
Tortured Materialistically.

Sometimes I Wonder Why

Silent my nights.
And,
Often...
Too remote.
And too often...
I'm reminded,
I chose.

Silent my nights.
And,
Often...
Too remote.
And too often...
I'm reminded,
I chose.

Sometimes I wonder why,
I chose...
To live a single life.
And be alone.

Sometimes I wonder why,
I chose...
A life of squeezing pillows,
With no one else to hold me...
Close.

Silent my nights.
And,
Often...
Too remote.
And too often...

If I Were A Carpenter

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
Would you marry me anyway?
Would you have my baby?
If I worked my hands in wood
I wonder would you still love me?
I say yes, I would, I'll put you above me
That's what I want you to say
And would you save my love from loneliness,
Would you save my love from sorrow, if you would
I give you my onlyness, girl and all of my tomorrows
If a tinker were my trade, would you still find me?
Carrying the pots and the pans that I made,
Walking along the highway
That long lonely highway
If I was a carpenter, and you were a lady
And I was just a carpenter,
Instead of a rock and roll star
Just a carpenter
A carpenter
A carpenter

Incredible Light-ness Of Being

With love, intention and purpose matter is created!

As physical beings living in density, gravity
We move about in the realm of five senses
Forgetting that our true self is made of light
Indestructible, mutable, eternal, God Given

You chose to incarnate as human beings
Chose the role you’d play in this lifetime
You’re soul will know when to take leave
Until then celebrate life for life’s sake
Love one another, for love’s sake
With boundless joy sing, dance, and play

Remember…

Other souls’ await your place on Earth, so they too;
May experience the incredible light-ness of being

Sickened Sweet With Promises

They chose to take,
Another route.
In pursuit.
They would face,
A deadend to defend and embrace.

They chose to take,
Another route.
To then declare.
They,
Were not aware.

Sickened sweet with promises.
Yet
None of them existed.
Fixed with addictions.
And no one cared.

And those who followed say,
The choices made weren't theirs.
And those who followed say,
They were not prepared.
And those who followed say,
The air that laid sweet with promises to keep.
Would amongst them be shared.
Whether or not.
Promises kept may not be there.

They chose to take,
Another route.
In pursuit
They would face,
A deadend to defend and embrace.

They chose to take,
Another route.
To then declare.
They,
Were not aware.
But a choosing of deceit they did.
And none amongst them dared.

Sickened sweet with promises.
Yet.
None of them existed.
Fixed with addictions.
And no one cared.

R.i.p.

Dark, crippled Rose
Whose blighted spring
Which no-one chose
Caused suffering

My blinded heart
Would follow you
Tore me apart
Compassion due

Till I at last
Would rather die
Than be accursed
To hear you cry

Chose to be free
And broke away
Believed in me
And another day.
