She
buried her parents

they ain't dead

her
friends ain't hero's
she

lost her wings

The unseen God
Khoisan Mar 2020
Giving up smoking
seemed very hard
saving me from this fallacy
was faith in the unseen God
I prayed seeking his face
he found me on my knees
begging for grace
He arrived on time
freed my mind
the unseen God
humbly healing the blind
Did you know Jesus is seated at the right hand of God in the heavens
preparing a place for us
Did you know the Holy Spirit of God dwell amongst us and is Omnipresent
he was left behind as the HELPER and reacts quickly in response to prayers of a contrite spirit.

Jews-over- gentiles
followed by
Fool's gold and Blood-diamond

The-rainbow-got-it-right

No-suchthing-as-black-or-white
A point to ponder
There are no black or white present in the colours of the rainbow

abused her
No means No more abuse

Be yourself be kind no matter what they say
You are made in the image of God

As they face another wall
my eyes are in a river
and my face a waterfall
I see children begging
in the street
I hear their hearts
can you feel the heat
a penny for your thoughts
please embrace the need
and attend to the beat
If at that moment you have to spare
apply the principle of giving God will
take care of the rest.

Euthanasia Senryu

Death isn't casting
not a staged performance

Inspired by a poet.

Mercy killings?
End of life?
Assisted suicide?
Death?
highly debatable no?

fall on your knees
rise like a dove

if the demand is evergreen.
