Picking this book and yet another, I was thrown into a bolt of awe, Not of the writer’s ingenuity, But of characters, Who are laid bare But still blazing. Ooh, these iconic characters, They lived a life Impact alone, Is less of a description. I read; Amazed, Gasping, Sighing, Adoring These radiant souls Sold to one course: “Jesus to all nations.” Now in books, Their trials, Their triumphs In Christ Still breathing through pages. God’s Generals, Indeed. Leaving comfort, Overlooking odds, They spread to nations Like harmattan fire. With just one aim: “My Jesus must be known.” In this great act; Leaving family, Losing property, Losing love, They marched gallantly To nations Where persecution waited. Still, I reckon their wisdom: One man; No, not alone, The Holy Spirit Through a yielded vessel Translated the Bible, Wrote books In another tongue. Wow. Stunned is my inquiry. Not men alone; Women too, Beside their husbands, Preaching, writing, singing: “Your Kingdom come.” Heaven rejoices over these; Those who planted in hard soils. Others now water What their labor birthed. But He; He gives the increase. God’s great plan: “That all men will be saved.”

Integrity
when the whole sky is the moon travelling with the flow of space what a lonely grace the cratered bone of night reveals its secrets what a majestic view thousands years of dreaming held in a single breath forty round minutes in the immensity of silence from this point of view the greatest awe is the integrity of human cooperation to reach the distance in space when tears have no gravity other than the force of the human heart no weight other than the pull of a shared pulse they are caring our prayers further away to the edge of the moon and our hope higher and higher to the cradle of darknes

We have been given the greatest mission In the greatest love story ever written It's a call to love; it's a call to action It's the spark that starts a chain reaction It's a call to faith; it's a call to holiness It's a call to arms and it's nothing less It's a mission not hard to understand And it boils down to one command: Love each other sister and brother Be the light of the world, the salt of the earth You're special, you matter, right from birth Everyone wants to be loved and to feel loved Everyone needs someone to be there To have someone who truly cares Go into the world and live it out People you meet will have no doubt Of whom you are or what you believe You have become what you received: You have become the body of Christ! His hands healing the sick, feeding the poor His merciful heart that loves and adores His feet that walked countless miles His kindly face and his gentle smiles His palms up, his arms outstretched Embracing the world from east to west Reflect on these And hold them in your heart Then, bless God and thank Him When you start Becoming the very Body of Christ

Greatest Mission
Looking back at life brings on a shiver: landmarks and stygian fragments, radiant corrosion. Will my feet still carry me home? The morning breaks, turn the blue skies on! we're committed now, guided by a God few know. On Earth the math is made up, 8 billion people and 1,000 questions, out here the days are numbered differently. But in the ether aura there are silent obligations: we're trading passengers midflight --the jester and the acrobat inside the LEM, Marco Polo on the rocketship, we're eating the survival kit, making postcards of the trip. All spoils for survivors. Post signs for a near perfect disaster. You are on my mind. You are in my heart. Are you in my blood? I would die for you. If this is goodbye, remember, these things happen...

We are called out for the mission To give of love without condition Some are called to the foreign land But all are to be his feet and hands Where words fall silent, love speaks To find a home is what the heart seeks Our own homes can be the mission field Our towns and communities to be healed Preach with conviction, with peace, not rage The voice of a prophet and wisdom of a sage They will see your joy and how it is portrayed In the face of persecution, you stand unafraid If they question, they are open If they are open turn them not away Pray for them and with them I will break their hearts of stone Until they beat for me alone Each of us has a mission should we accept it Something to reach out right where we are At work, in town, or riding in your car Each gifted uniquely for a special role And what a gift to uplift another human soul To care for the widows and orphans The forgotten and the oppressed The stranger and the refugees To work and know the work is blessed Each of us is on a mission to do the work of God Just don't expect the whole world to applaud Sow the seeds of faith and hope The seeds of charity and love The wisdom of God was spoken Like an echo from above

For the Mission
I followed the order handed over to the T, I swear, I checked every square inch of the interior in that musty, empty chamber as well as the outer perimeter And, just to make sure to cover all of our bases, a land surveyor calculator was used so no one would have to return to confirm the number later He soulda, woulda, coulda but didn't prepare for the worst,  should have taken ques from one of them openly mocked doomsday prepers Just in the event there was no search and rescue coming together to push the radius wider I'll say this, there's nothing you could compare to what was in there other than a twisted flair of a taboo desire for a living nightmare Keeping it honest here, there was no proper way too decipher if pain or anger fed the monster in turn fueling the inner and outer warfare After all this time the why is still unclear like an over exposed Bigfoot picture under the blur of an out of focus layer with the top half blacked out by a fat finger It's mostly ever operator error, there's no proof of any attempt to even remove the lense cover Resulting in snap shots that fully render the emptiness of a gut wrenching, heart breaking type of forever Walking through the bare walled entry erected the neck hair, instantly on anticipatory high alert, predicting a jump scare I'd never go back there but if you dare, prepare to soil your underwear, best to bring an extra pair It's far eirrer in there than I imagined it'd be with the unbalanced nature of finding tragedy has bled into the comedy so frustration and the for mentioned anger seemed not only justified but fair One might expect a shrill chill to fill the air befitting the general atmosphere likened to the hollow echo of an abandoned aviator hanger There was an uneasy stillness in the helplessness seemingly coming from nowhere and everywhere The nonconsentual caress of chaos looked to have been ramped up a gear, allowed to feast on the bounty of self loathing and fear I don't know if you could consider one over the other being better while not sure who's the bigger threat, the dark passenger or driver? Neither should have been allowed to steer especially after the request to hold so and so's beer Looks like nothing penetrated the barrier inside each ear that, according to the guest sign in on the counter here, had been garded by a couple demon friends made during his very first winter Just prior to the proverbial greener pasture being engulfed by an arsons fire lit by the land owner And oh how it wreaked of dispair, heavily punctuated by the stench of failure It lingered like a stocker predator peering over top the chip and bolder on what's been dubbed an unworthy shoulder Progressively more violent as the one under investigation grew older, evidence shows a temper that consistently boiled over The life destroyers lurkin' behind every door down a never ending corridor, waiting in the cover of darkness found around every corner You don't know from where but can hear screams of terror as you pass a single motivational poster that reads, "being dead inside will allow for the skipping over of the coroner all together" Buyer beware, this particular first stair is a header, the warnings couldn't have been clearer A lack of empathy stains character but if lead by example it's plain to see why someone might refuse to care Or would even know how to for that matter, solely focused only on the neighbor who's grass is forever advertised as greener Didn't do the work on the personal endeavor so it didn't get any better, attitude towards it all seemed very cavalier An obvious what not to do trend setter, a self proclaimed and locally agreed on idiot of the year Missed all this YOLO banter, acting like a pop of the trunk would reveal a spare Who's life is it really if you're not even a content creator in it much less the engineer Come to think of it I don't recall that even bein' offered up to this poor sap as a qualifying career It should be but that's neither here nor there, what's done is done and every other cliche you can pull out of the air To put it simply, he wasn't known as a fighter so he threw in the towel and tossed innocence out with the bath water The belief that life was beyond repair was a thought he struggled to alter, positivity was something he never learned how to gather, had a horrible teacher It didn't help hearing a proper confirmation message from both a soothsayer and palm reader with no reassurance from his supposed maker Proof that it's always safer to separate judge, jury and executioner, it's a no brainier But he wore all three hats plus at his core was a sinner, it could've been his last meal every time he sat down for dinner So he no doubt knew there was no scenario where a man like himself was gonna come out the winner And now that I've seen the bizzar aftermath from every angle I can say with far more confidence than when I began to explore that I don't know how he managed to even get this far The violence was real, the battles weren't staged, it raged on behind the fleshy mask he wore to keep us from witnessing the horror But every day his anchor to a brighter reality got weaker, thoughts and surroundings becoming darker faster than he could remember from the days before One can only be expected to hold on for so long when you're the nail trying to resist the hammer He was neither hero nor imposter, just the next mother fuucker to fall victim to his own future

The Chosen One
You said that my words were bitter You said my tone sounded harsh As if I was on a mission to hurt you As if I'm the villain in this story. It hurts that you can't see right through me It really hurts that you look, but you can't see me I truly thought we were better than this... I thought we knew each other better than this. My words may have been bitter and my tone harsh But it's only because contradiction spells my heart I want to hate you, eradicate you from my life I want you to come back to me and love me until I die. I don't know what to do anymore, I can't ignore you I can't not see you, to not feel you, to not breathe you. Obliviate what ruined us? If only you were willing to try. What do I do? God, why do I pine for someone like you? If only you could see all these words meant for you Would you then be able to see me, not think I'm harsh? Would it make you pity me or give you the courage to try? to try for this bitter girl who was once just on a mission to love you until the day she dies. -fir.m

"YOU ARE MY DREAM" It doesn't matter how long it took before we met each other. What matter most was how well we'd ever stay together longer. On our journey of trust, honesty fuels the motion. Loving you is a mission with commitment to bringing us to a rightful destination. Baby you're my aspiration, my dream in whom lies my whole vision. #C9_fm

YOU ARE MY DREAM
I am born with a purpose And I live with a focus Grow with a vision Survive for a mission I got a reason To live for a season Through the trials I have to triumph ‘cos my mission Is to humanity To add quality And meaning to life So I strive To overcome the storm That seems so tough But for my purpose I shall not lose focus No thought of giving up When I have not done all That humanity demands For it is a command I must obey

Daily Reminder
A leaf floating on the water has no effect on its future. It drifts passively on the pond, In an hour, a day, or a week, it may land on the shore across the pond, or remain floating on the water, or even sink to the bottom forevermore, Without ever knowing why.   Are you drifting in your own small pond? Floating oblivious, Unsure, uncertain, unmade? Going wherever the waters take you? Watching the world pass and fade? Or sinking and drowning? Or have you set the sail in your boat And know the direction you’re headed, Your purpose, your vision, your mission, Sitting back and enjoying the flow, The tumultuous journey with its ups and downs, As you watch the world unfold within and around you.   From calm sweet waters, To crashing and crushing high rise waves. It’s all about the journey, The lessons and the pain, The joy and the excitement, The highs and the lows, That will take you to your destination, The lessons and the pain. And better than whence you came

The Drummer Brothers of Ikku Ukku Heard from the bathers that- The Princess had been abducted By the Dark Beast. A bounty of thousand gold coins was announced If you brought her back alive and the beast dead And Death if you brought the beast alive and the Princess dead. The Drummer Brothers of Ikku Ukku Hung their drums around their necks And drummed their way Through the Forest Dark When the Elder Brother drummed the sleep-inducing roll, The storks that roosted in the trees Dropped as if they were one big bunch. He picked them up one by one While the younger one, Elated, Shouted 'Pelicans!' and drummed the defeathering roll Upon which the plumage came off The Elder Brother drummed the roasting roll And the birdflesh caught fire. On the second day a leopard that looked- More like a boulder in leopard's clothing Lurched at the brothers. The Elder Brother drummed the age-reversing roll And the poor old leopard grew younger and younger Until it became a watery foetus which- The Drummer Brothers ate, Dabbing crushed chillies, and sprinkling salt. On the third day a bear of grisly proportions Ambled, roaring, into their sight The Younger Brother drummed an organ-enlarging roll that- Stretched the bear's mammaries far too long- They dragged on the ground like two pythons. The Elder Brother drummed the light-the- candle roll And the oily **** caught fire like wicks. Having vanquished the two deadly beasts The Drummer Brothers of Ikku Ukku met, On the fourth day of their journey, The Dark Beast. The Dark Beast, as it turned out, Was no beast as such But an Outcast once expelled Into the heart of darkness Who wrapped himself In the dark of the Dawn And became one with All the Beasts And rumbled. The Princess' pygmy horse was impaled With the stake coming out of its mouth Grossly gory, its hindlegs missing And the blood, coagulated, hanging like icicles. Near it was the Princess herself, Naked, except for the gold waist chain And the anklets. The Drummer Brothers of Ikku Ukku Drummed a very ordinary roll, Steady and throbbing. The Dark Beast who listened to it Was transported into his past, His memory of listening To the old drummers of Ikku Ukku. Excited, He spun on his heels and stretched out his arms He gyrated and pirouetted- And on reaching the peak of his frenzy Exploded, like a watermelon The pieces flew in all directions. The Drummer Brothers picked them up And licked While the Princess, shaken out of her languor, Rose and sauntered towards them. Holding out her honey hands She said, "Now I belong to both of you." The Younger Brother came up with a plan: The elder one would have her from the waist up While he would have her from the waist down. The Elder Brother approved. Vain and coquettish, The Princess rammed her fists into either drum And said: "I loathe their sound- too unrefined." On the fifth day, The Drummer Brother drummed a jazzed up roll On their new drumhead Made of the Princess' hide.

As Our Lips got Locked, Our Hands went for Action. Searching for points, to meet Our Satisfaction. Passion was Creeping, beneath our Skin. Two Hearts kept Beating, deep Within. As We went about, exploring Our Spaces. Happiness got written, on both Our Faces. I kept sipping on U....as if, U were a Glass of Wine. We finished Our Mission, at Quarter past Nine.

Attention Please
Day by day the rules has changed.. When the words false it's mean nothing.. The mission always same.. But the ways are different.. This is not mission impossible.. This is mission unpredictable.. How could the mission changes the rules.. Everyone didn't understand.. The way we look are different.. We have our eyes to be understood.. We have glasses to fill it full.. We have our opinion.. The mission didn't change.. But our mind are changes.. Let happens will be happened.. With all the happiness in the past.. With all the sorrow in the present.. With all the kindness in the future.. We are didn't change.. Our minds take the control.. The way we look.. The way we see.. The way we think.. The way we feel.. Hope everything gonna be alright in the end..

Mission Unpredictable
The drive is endless, perilous, and being recorded for posterity, because one planet is no longer enough. H.P. Lovecraft is at the wheel, and we're looking at one thing and not your mother. That was a Freudian slip, but not really surprising since he's also along for the ride. And when we get there we'll scavenge for sovereignty in the orange filter of hope. Then a flag will mark our demesne, a spot defining both pride & terror, as it delivers a dose of ambition, yet, reeks of future tyranny. Pray our luck runs out along the way or we run out of gas or steam or headway... Then again, maybe we should hope for the breast. I mean best ! Freud's at it again.

Carpooling to Mars
|_¤\/€ The sun knows where my truth is, Higher than any other thing, Exactly beside itself. My thirst for your love And company so pure Is just unquenchable Not permanently though Miss Universe you are In my life & future So soft are your thoughts Sitting in my mind Injected into my veins On the occipital lobe Not doubtful if it's love I am so lucky yet so unlucky Not having you near myself Multilingual I am although Yet to meet you in person Lies I do never utter I only have the truth for you Fostering this bond now Empire of our love is founded I desire to be your angel Still is my thirst unquenched Joyful I am in love Enticed by a dove Never sad these days In my beautiful life Far from reality is our dream Although surely reachable
