The World Does Not Need My Poem
The world does not need my poem
Soon it will not need me-
A few people need me,
They will need me when I am not here-
I will disappoint them by not being here-
It is the last thing in the world I want to do
To disappoint the few who really matter-
But what to do?
I am just another human being
Another mortal on this earth
It is not given to me,
What is not given to anyone else
Even though I so much want it.

Prayer
Great God, I ask for no meaner pelf
Than that I may not disappoint myself,
That in my action I may soar as high
As I can now discern with this clear eye.
And next in value, which thy kindness lends,
That I may greatly disappoint my friends,
Howe'er they think or hope that it may be,
They may not dream how thou'st distinguished me.
That my weak hand may equal my firm faith
And my life practice what my tongue saith
That my low conduct may not show
Nor my relenting lines
That I thy purpose did not know
Or overrated thy designs.

Lonông Moan-Groanahs
You had requested,
Something short and sweet.
I am told I can leave a bitter aftertaste!
Thick and long on sweat.
And I do regret,
I am not a teamplayer...yet!
However,
I know I can deliver...
With a prolonged gratification.
May I still have an application?
Just in case the others disappoint.
And my 'joint' you wish to inspect,
For on location activities.
As a prospective client...
Of course.
My aim is to thrill.
And I am open to a six month trial.
Just in case the others disappoint.
And you'd like to see how things with me,
Work out!
'Yes.
And I thank you for that interview,
Mister...?
Meloner. Is it? '
No!
Lonông Moan-Groanahs.
'Oh?
Is that African? '
No.
But I do enjoy mounting the Alps!

Get Him Back
One man, he'd disappoint me
He'd give me the gouge and he take my glee
Now every other man I see
Remind me of the
One man who disappointed me
Wait 'til I get him back
He won't have a back to scratch
Yeah, keep turning that chin
And you will see my face
As I figure how to kill what I cannot catch
So I say "and on I go"
To another one who disappoint me so, oh oh
The next one up
A contemptible snob
He lived to put things in their place
He did a commendable job
He put himself so low
He can hardly even look me in the face
Wait 'til I get him back
He won't have a back to scratch
Yeah, keep turning that chin
And you will see my face
As I figure how to kill what I cannot catch
Oh, he made my blood just burn
I flipped so far
I thought that I would not return
But the last one I had
Who was getting my hopes up
I might have been a little fast to dismiss
I think he let me down when he didn't disappoint me
He didn't always guess right but he usually got my gist
So wait til I get him back
I'm gonna bring him home
And I'll watch him unpack
He keep turning that chin
And you will see my face
Is fixed on the one
I'm gonna get back
I'm gonna get him back
I am
I'm gonna get him back
I really am

Sometimes....All the Time Joy
Sometimes things go smooth and merry
Sometimes things go uncertain and scary
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time…Joy is in Sight
Sometimes people disappoint and cuss
Sometimes we disappoint and fuss
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time…Joy is in Sight
Sometimes answers are hard to find
Sometimes words are not so kind
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time...Joy is in Sight
Sometimes life is a mystery
Sometimes life releases history
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time…Joy is in Sight
Sometimes love may enkindle you
Sometimes love may wound you
All the Time…Day and Night
All the Time…Joy is in Sight
Sometimes tasks and duties are complex
Sometimes humans are so perplex
All the Time...Joy is 3 S’es
All the Time…Salvation Self-Esteem Service..Oh YES! ! !

People that have been interested in our work for awhile... those are the last people you want to disappoint.
I think that if you idealise someone for so long, they can only disappoint and I wouldn't want to be disappointed by those people.

With Amenities Unexpected
Catch me as if...
You have awaited,
For someone to deliver...
Reasons for your heart to beat.
And I will not disappoint,
With amenities unexpected.
Fresh is the air I supply.
With morning Sunrises,
To captivate your dancing eyes.
And with each Sunset...
You will know each one comes,
Created just for you.
I will be all that you need,
Want...
And kept to feel desired!
Catch me as if...
You have awaited,
For someone to deliver...
Reasons for your heart to beat.
And I will not disappoint,
With amenities unexpected.

Weakness Is Not A Poem
WEAKNESS IS NOT A POEM
Weakness is not a poem-
Nor is sickness-
Pain too, no poem.
All the suffering
A single human being must endure
No poem.
There is Hell in this world
And some people live it
Every day of their lives.
It is no poem
To see another human being
Suffering.

Your Faith Soul Can Sow Hope
it is sad to see our friends
disappointed depressed
even to hear or online read
'i am fine but lil depressed'
this world can will oft disappoint
for many age gender race reasons
but your faith soul can give hope
I always believe in your kindness
every act of kindness
no matter how small
is true service to God
all hate serves Satan
therefore choose wisely
what seeds will you sow?
God said love covers a
multitude of sin love sow

You may write a poem for me
For a start of the day
Write a poem for me
I am weary I am unhappy
I make no sense at all
After the learning and
The knowing, I learn
The senselessness of it all,
This is not my world
This is not the world
We all yearn to live
I quit I stop this thing
It is your turn now
To believe to be awed
To be human to be alive
Make me a poem
The best poem you can
Read it to me, let me
Hear your voice,
You who also ask, you
Who also want to be dead.

You try to get the feel of any role, but it's much more difficult in the case of Christ because everyone has their own personal image of Him. It's a role you take on, knowing that no matter how you play it, you are going to disappoint many.

Our Main Focus And Priority
If we concentrated on what it was we did,
With the same ambitious correctness...
We seek to apply to others that disappoint,
We'd be better human beings!
Knowing...
None of us would be afflicted with imperfections.
Because our efforts to first examine ourselves,
Would be our main focus and priority.

“Finalist”… what NEXT?
This is the time we’ve all waited for
Now it’s here, standing before us all
What have you got to offer it?
How much have you acquired?
How much have you got to deliver?
The expectation is high; and your audience
You can’t disappoint, they‘re all you’ve got.
We all celebrate
It’s the time we’ve all waited for
Four years has come and gone
Sacrificing a lot to make it a reality.
But, it’s not all about now…
What about the future?
What next?
What will you do with all you have gained?
That wealth of knowledge should not be wasted
Come on, don’t be a part of the wasteful generation…
Now a GRADUATE, what next?
Life does not end at being a graduate.
You have a great task ahead of you to accomplish
The younger generation are looking up to you, please don’t disappoint.
May we all meet at the top and have good stories to tell
May the dreams of our hearts see the light of day…
I wish you all the best as you move on from here
Always remember that things might not come easy
But you have to keep pressing- persist
See you at the TOP

Wishing you all the BEST as you move on…

Let This One Poem Be About Me
Let this one poem be just about me
Let this one poem engulf all my beauty
Let this one poem define my soul
Let this one poem consume me whole
My soul was earth bound
And my heart lay in a place that it would never be found
Let this poem be what entangles my mind
Let this poem be where people will find
They will find that missing link
And this poem it will make them think
They will wonder how this girl came
They will wonder how I avoided fame
I didn’t write these words to please
I wrote these words to tease
My heart it’s the type that beckons for ease
And my taste will not accept the flavor of peas
Let this poem describe me in most simplest of ways
Let this poem show how I get through these days
And I know people will read this and say…
This girl she knew where heart lay…
Let this poem eat me whole
Let me entire heart bleed its luscious love into a broken bowl
My soul wanted only to be free
And this poem only pushed it back into me
I never will lose any part of my soul
Because then this world will swallow my inner being whole
Let this poem be what I hate
Let this poem describe with who I would mate
Let this thoughts become my ways
Let this poem be where I stray
Let this poem show how I lie
Let this poem describe how I will die
Yes I am human I cannot avoid death
Yes I am human I chose not to use meth
These words they dance upon this page
These words they have no age
These verses have lost all meaning
Because I revealed my demeaning
Let this poem describe what I deem right
Let this poem that I will always fight
My age floats through these words
And people will never understand why I want to be heard
Let this poem be only about me
Let this poem be what sets me free
And I know some day people will look at this and say…
This girl, this girl she knew exactly where her heart lay…
