He came to Jerusalem mounted on a donkey People went out to meet him, Waving the palm branches they bring And hailed him as their king. Yet, people don’t know the sorrow The coming week would bring Soon, Glad acclaimed will give away, To jeers and mockery. In God’s redemption plan, He’d be condemn to a cross on cavalry But he knew that he was a sacrificial lamb To die for the sins of man in misery. Today is the day when Jesus will passed Give praise to son of God, Shout the benediction of his name From the sky and to the sod; Hosanna to the Highest!

In the annals of New York City An amazing hero is acclaimed, Known as "The man in the red bandana" Welles Remy Crowther was his name. Born in Nineteen seventy seven, This New Yorker, born and bred, Could have escaped death's destruction, But chose to rescue folks instead. All his life he cared for people, Loved his family, kept them dear, But on that day of 9/11 His higher purpose became clear. An Honor Student, Lacrosse player, Former fire fighter, too, When explosions rocked the building, Welles knew what he must do. Rescuing with calm authority, Directing people toward the doors, He found a woman so disabled He carried her to the 61st floor. In the end, before death took him, Twelve people were brought out, saved. No one knows where Welles is buried In his 9/11 grave. Later, when his mother told Of the red bandana Welles had, The survivors saw his picture, And knew Welles was the brave lad. Only 26 years old, Welles Crowther manned up in strife, That young man is New York's hero... ... for twelve gave HIS VERY LIFE. Soul Survivor Catherine Jarvis (C) September 11, 2014 13th anniversary of 9/11

100 best songs of 2018 kitchen floors
Ships, boats, seafaring vessels, and barks of yore Showcased in acclaimed poetry From Homer to Donne to Flores Metaphors to represent sundry notions Ships Uncontrollably swirled in an unforgiving sea An arc persecuting the sinners ****** A shipwreck on a desolate island, defining a lost soul A speed boat Perhaps, mans' innate desire to escape Or searching for lands unknown What marvels poets behold in ships? If I scribed a verse about a yonder vessel It would be a childish innuendo About a ships mast Or I'd make an astounding observation Such as ships are big boats. However, poets, true visionaries Scope massive ships from Microscopic aspects of daily life. And I. . . I look at a powerful ship And think I'm a little dingy.

Shipwreck
The first pair of shoes you wore were black, velcro straps sat atop your pair of dollies to make it easier to put them on for the park. They were meant to be smart, but you laughed as you wore them against the ground so free as dad slung the swings, smiling at his child. Our mum told me I was a creative child: I didn't like to wear anything black. Red suited me in how I stood in puddles, free in indifference to how brown my wellies became. If I was asked why, I'd shout, “I'm pretending we're all at the seaside.” From there we made our way to beaches, where the wind was crisp and the children we could see around us acclaimed screams of emphatic joy at how the sea was so blue and big. We had to wear pairs of sandals when we went, but being barefoot felt free. All that time we had at being young and free soon went with the summer ending in school, the arrival of my freshly polished black boots was identical to almost every other child's- a lather of paint dripping over in mud yellows proved who I was with a mother's groan, and this wasn't the only time she wailed. As we grew older and wanted to be free, my sister started to experiment with pink highlights in her hair as I visited clubs with fake ID. We were adults with childish personalities in how I wore my Docs like a religion for feet, my sibling in high heels that you could hear in Sunday morning claps. The arguments broke out: she wanted a child, mother saying was too young, needed to free herself from lazy culture and find a workplace. I'd never seen both their faces so gushed red, just like the red richness of those wellies I had worn in the park. I pipe up and say, “The best freedom is our time as children.”

There’s a favorite culinary dish in town; it’s known as the synapse shish kebab. It’s high in protein as well as fat, and it comes with a garlic-infused broccoli rabe, available with a choice of couscous or rice. The palate will most likely be enticed, just like another common John who swears to us that he again has done absolutely nothing wrong. It pairs nicely with an eighties chenin blanc, gray matter that’s grilled to sheer perfection, smoked all day, and is guaranteed satisfaction, seemingly like an old, rambling rolling stone. The lights are on—but nobody’s buying homes. An opera singer that is deaf to certain tones, this is definitely not regal crumpets and tea— “heart-healthy nutrition,” all our medics agree. There’s a new critically acclaimed dish around; it’s the slow-roasted synapse shish kebab, moderately priced, and portions are family style— passed-down secret recipes from west of the Nile, and also numbers that won’t make your wallet sob like a big, bad, dark, overly loaded cloud. Give it a try, and then shout it out loud: synapse shish kebab!

Synapse Shish Kebob
The circumambient wings of a seraph Obstrepously monastic within Dereliction contemning the Mendaciously obsequious; The bathos of ablution grittily Jejune fulgerating the engrossed. The chaldean lachrymatory The ligature of the darklings rheum, Volently acclaimed The paladin necromancers Circumfluous wintry orbs Ardently accosting the chasm Lasping tarnation fructifying Acedias roborant, Heavens ignoble lassitude The boreal scope of causality- Hells predacious moil.

The Delusional Night of Grandeur
Terry Pratchett died Thursday. He was a critically acclaimed British Fantasy Author, as well as an advocate for assisted suicide and Alzheimer's Disease. He himself was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2007, yet still continued to write, even after he was incapable of using a computer to write (he used a dictation machine afterwards). Before his death at the age of 66, he wrote the popular "Discworld" series consisting of four books, as well as one of my personal favorites, "The Wee Free Men." He was inspirational for me as a writer and he changed my view of writing. With his books, I found my writing style. There are no words to express my awe at his life and works, nor are there words to express my deep sadness in which I tell you that he has passed. May he rest in peace and reach a world even better than that of Discworld. “There's always a story. It's all stories, really. The sun coming up every day is a story. Everything's got a story in it. Change the story, change the world.” ― Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky (Discworld, #32) Well Mr. Pratchett, you've changed the story.

~Notice: A Death~
I won't loud my guts to say you don't mean what you say about loving me. Because,the peace of mind you bring,no one has ever brought a piece of the whole you gave on a platter of moments. But,sometimes I'm a girl and even though my auditory lobes hears it every moment that you love me as much as I do... I'm a visual learner,I need it acted out as much as you say it. If your loving me were so loud,snitches wouldn't dare to form cocky talks,bitches would lay low when I walk with my head high. Dudes that acts like they know it all,won't point fingers at our love that its unrequited. Now, I'm not saying you should displease yourself to please me, I'm not saying you should become someone else to earn me I'm either not demanding too much I just need you to show the world more visual actions,so that the world will stop thinking I'm an obsessed ***** trying to make the acclaimed unrequited love,reciprocal.

Even a wayside **** can ignite greater passion in the heart than a well potted garden plant at the centre of a tastefully landscaped plot Even a child’s prank can be more hilarious than all the cranky jokes of an acclaimed comedian Even in the warble of a lonesome bird there can be more flooding melody than in the well tuned violin of a music maestro There can be greater poetry in a simple ditty than in all the lines of verse in a great epic A tear drop may contain greater salinity than all the waters of a great ocean Perhaps a simple nod of head or a wink of the eye communicates much more than a whole bunch of words I don’t know why I love the dainty flowers of May than perhaps the exotic lotus of the day Don’t we love the homemade fare served with love more than all the delectable cuisines of a posh restaurant The small things of life thus, prove much bigger than big things Just as the joy of life is not always ruined by fatal errors but by the recurrence of injurious little things, Greatness is achieved not through momentous actions but by the little things done in a great way

my dream
I know I'm your second best. I know I'm not the first person you will call in a crisis but I suppose second best is okay I don't mind. In another situation second place is still acclaimed like a runner up in a race sometimes the second place prize is better than the winning. At least I'm not your third best fourth, fifth, sixth. I know I will be there when the first person you would call has put you to second place. I will be there to fill their old space because hey what are second best friends for?

Second best
Awakened by whispers from a friend On the other side of the earth. He perhaps forgot how time Lacks to treat us the same. He was bouncing from One classroom to the other, I was in my bed Sweat drenched in my dreams. I tried to muffle his scream But he yelled louder, Bloodshot eyes, I spoke, Careful not to wake my mother. I asked and asked if he was alright, I was afraid he was thinking up The actions I almost followed. I asked him again If he was fine, He replied with a "good morning", I said "goodnight". My head was thumping too hard I knew the morning would begin With my weekly dose of migraine. He called me back, I asked again if he was alright, It's 3 **** clock in the morning, I would sleep if he was fine. He acclaimed that I lied, "I was hurt so I was up Or else I would never have taken his call" He said. I sighed, He couldn't hear. I told I would be back in two hours, I wished he would rest Get his head straight. He acclaimed that I lied, I wasn't gonna sleep, I was traumatized, He asked again if I was fine, I replied "relatively". I wondered what I meant, He didn't ask to clarify, I declared I am going to sleep. I lied. I was up till past 4, My alarm set to 5, I would speak to him then I resolved, He could do with not killing himself For two hours I analysed. I slept for minutes 45 I called but he was gone. I tried to decipher my strange dreams. It was about the dogs Chasing me, The fear I always have. I try never to think of love, In my dream I had no way out, That was when he had called. I reminisce now Was he looking for me to save him, Or did he save me?

Self-promotion arena supplying for social gatherings and family space, at times useful mirror and judge onto the lives of the untrue, the corrupted, the vicious, at most theatre for public sacrifice by the rule of the thumb with mercy at the hands of the pleb. Samnites, secutores and retiarii fighting to the death, noxii and damnati hacked in the man-made monument built for entertainment, barbarian combats in the name of munus, lethal games on the tilt of a double-edged sword serving political agendas and commercial must, their successes encouraging others. Youths sold, batches addicted to the screen of civilization erected to conceal and divert the eye, to the glittering murderous show permeating the four cardinal directions while confusing children's moral compass, morphed into unactive witnesses, blood-thirsty enablers, wishful executioners, as loved ones helplessly watch the self-destructions, the stabbing cuts, and hear the roars of beasts feeding, the shouts of be-headings acclaimed.

Social media - A modern coliseum
Characters of folly With their agony and jolly One who makes water In the gutter As bystanders shudder One who wears a cape Is he planning his escape While the gentleman with the black beret Morning walk to his frothy latte People with sign in hand What’s the message Where they stand Souls everywhere Just the same A powerful friendship Could be acclaimed Generous one Did you find One that lets you put your cares behind One that talks to trees Even in the breeze That brings those pines to their knees One who taunts honest and kind While he croons those left behind Those who seek out the good Kindred spirits misunderstood One who sees the light at the junction With his guitar that’s multifunction One who wrote look for the sunny side Knowing the silver lining as she cried Characters of folly Will leave you chanting my golly

Characters of Folly
The peace of this small neighbourhood, is shattered as the door caves in As masked marauders seek with guns, the criminals that hide within But they find no deadly drug baron, Nor killer, or ****** animal But a grey-haired lady, small and frail, in terror as she beholds them all At gunpoint then her hands are tied, and her walking stick cast to the floor As she is marched by mighty men, to the waiting van outside her door Her heart skips wildly and her breath is tight, as she is bundled roughly inside Her dignity and rights of law, are swept away and cruelly denied And across the town there sits a girl, with kindly, smiling joyful eyes A teen who spends her youthful zest, bringing hope and joy to other lives But little does she know this day, that her future days are to dwell Not in delight and dancing halls, but in a dark and lonely prison cell And elsewhere stands a local hero, a man so honoured by decree Acclaimed by peers and politicians, as a citizen of kindly deeds Yet on this day, he is torn away, from his family who are left in tears As this father and devoted husband, is imprisoned now for seven years Who are these ones snatched by the state, and treated so unjustly Held without cause or consideration, and despised so bitterly? They obey all laws and pay their dues, and love their neighbours when they can And share a hope of a future bright, even though their hope is banned They are young and old, black and white, and gathered from diversity They wage no wars, won't steal or lie, but treat all people with dignity For their crime is not of violence, nor abuse, or fraud or robbery But of being Christians and trying to show, Christ-like love to you and me And what of those who terrorize them, the land where this grim drama is set That mighty nation, so paranoid, that it considers them a threat This pretender to the throne, bedecked in red and white and blue Is a jealous king who hates the ones, who, to Christ their King are ever true But as they languish in prison cells, awaiting justice from the King The one whose commandments they obey, is smiling down and proud of them For their hope is not in men of law, nor international decree But their just and loving King, Christ Jesus, and in God- Jehovah's sovereignty Dedicated to Jehovah's Witnesses imprisoned in Russia

A hatred fiend, Playacting a votary Of democracy and federalism To a gluttonous end, “Unless we grip The rein of power Driving a divisive wedge Along religious and Ethnic lines, also Orchestrating terror Every hour, See to every evil We shall Till the wind of change Blowing over the nation Suffers reversal.” “On the world-acclaimed Change drive We shall inflict Every possible harm So that flouted it runs Out of charm! Using a Facebook army On par with Tsunami We shall trigger And foment conflicts And make This and that ethnic groups Arch enemy. Slaying toddlers, Senior citizens And women, with The bun in the oven, Shock we shall Create often!” "Also with 'We are victims' clamor Seeking for a stalemate, Global-pity a door We intend to continue A  victor. To deflect attention From a government-junta Crackdown To neighboring country’s town Firing rockets far Dragging it into war We shall internationalize The fight Conveying our diabolic move Is right! Though unheard of in history We shall splice In unholy marriage With any enemy Of the country. Also from its back The national defense force, Guarding the boundary And us Its forehead In the crosshair mark, Revoltingly We shall attack! Though this makes us Selfish, our ethnic Groups we shall use As a human shield A daunting influence On citizens-cherishing Government to wield."////

TPLF outperforming Satan
The thought of it horrifies me, Even more so than what death entails, It forces me to sporadically awaken. I visualize myself taken away to a cold grotto, Where I'm violated by strangers And alienated, rather than uplifted, For an unknown duration of time I knew what might happen, The consuming fervor, My behavior will not be understood Haven't I alienated myself all along? Was it not I who voluntarily auditioned For the infamous role of the outcast As well as the acclaimed role of the golden child? The critics may write their reviews of my performances My petite hands peruse Through the drawer's treasure, The prescription pill bottle is Considered as a future reference.

The Cold Grotto
A frail old man wanders aimlessly along the boardwalk of a deserted beach Hunched over like the the boughs of an oak tree weighed down by its branches Things burden this man. Heavy in weight on mind and body Once swarming with tourists in a way similar to flies around a porch light this beach is now dank and dismal to the eye The preconceptions of flashing lights and rowdy parties filling its strip just reside as a distant memory in the depth of the deep blue. On which he gazes out to after taking a long wheezing breath into his shrivelled lungs. He stands alone reminiscing about previous conquests from his long distant youth Thinking about all his relationships with friends and loved ones Perusing through his memory bank as of he were a granddad proudly giving a slideshow to his only grandchild And as a tear slowly trickles down his weathered face he reconciles with himself that like seeing the last copy of an acclaimed novel being sold he definitely let the one get away. As this fact dawns on him, knowing he shall always be alone He takes a deliberate pace towards the steps leading to the sandy wasteland that used to be so glorious and golden. Gradually picking up speed and stumbling over himself he makes the journey to the edge of the water Fully aware of the desire that is overtaking his mind, body and soul The sea begins to seep into his shoes then dampens the tip of his trousers Now with the water up to his waist he is shivering and struggling to catch his breath But onwards he walks becoming stronger as he battles the waves cascading against his body. Is this really what it has come to, but as the last strand of his silky grey hair disappears into the salty blue He feels the weight of the past float away and he is at peace The water has cleansed his soul, rinsed his mind Deep in the depths of the sea shall his regrets remain forever. And as his body floats to the surface his soul rises higher and higher up to the clouds Reaching the end his eyes catch a glimpse through the pearly whiteness Of a silhouette he recognises It stands facing away seeming to exude beauty like a single rose in hand of a romantic gesture When he steps through the gates The silhouette senses his presence and turns He knows in that moment, he has made it He is in Heaven.

We’ve accomplished grace In the eternal august night To unchain a soul that is contrite Her soft touch gave men a pleasurable fright She made me endless dry nights With a twist of the forthright sunrise. I’m wondering I’m wandering In your vast spacious eyes I’ll find exile in your fragrant dream I’ll watch your promises steam In the waning night I felt the lunging freedom by the touch of your hand To the glimmering dusk We’ve failed to alternate To the passing bliss We reasserted To your musky perfume Angels tried to elaborate Frozen words of wonder you maimed A love hitherto acclaimed Wintertime is upon us Memorabilia Worn dour faces Grazed by memories Wintertime is upon us Lenient breaths Defying the freezing weather Like white cotton bursting into the air Numbed fingertips And cold lips Winter was the season of you heart Winter became the season of my life Now loneliness is my last supper The ice for my heart will scupper I’m alone amidst the feral waves of sobbing And my heart is drunk with its salt The crescendo will exalt Now I must repent For the placid lament

Wintertime love
I was a piece more or less, Unfit in the puzzle of society, Framed and judged, Broken and scraped, Torn to the base. I stood to be the thinker, With thoughts as the mate, As the wife is too a husband, I kept courting with anxiety, Maybe sometimes with fear, Or with shame that world-acclaimed, As the flaws of being me. I stood there many times, Neither to be oriented, Nor to be included, Just to be accepted with love, As a poison is to nectar, I was the toxin to them   I was discarded and treated, To purify the viciousness, An be a part of the deprived fellowship. I can't stand anymore there, With the crime of resistance, To not oblige with the rules, As a cage is to the bird, Statutes were the prison, To my solivagant soul . Shredded with the conclusions I was qualified as an outcast, Neither a human, Nor a living being All it was a prolonged-term As a slave is to the master, I was chained to the phrase. To be always smashed, Under the debts of acceptance.

Outcast :- The place I don't fit
Heinous, immoral, sinful swine! To what I am demanded to oblige, This unravelled given flesh, falsely acclaimed. By who, are we to bestow such honorarium upon specimens? We, this, it... YES it! For no other alias be deft to pure **** If it be for me, I'd not be so haste to shift to utter, cosmic vile! And alas tis that which I am, and as all my fellow ethological, fleshy hominids. I do not care for it. And seek the purity of it, but such use may be eternally latent. God!

Escaping Expression
This crazy conundrum has been conspicuously contrived quite cordially. Of course, one could concede this cordially contrived conundrum could carelessly conflate the countless quandaries causing quintessential quantities to question the conspicuously questionable conspiracy. Conversely, carelessly questioning conspicuously contrived conspiracies as cordially quantitative quandaries could create considerably confusing claims countering the critically acclaimed crazy conundrum so callously clarified as to continue to count as cordial. Consequently, with careless acquiescence, I must confess that the conceptually contrived conspiracy, so inconspicuously inconsistent, conflated considerably contrary quandaries quite questionably and continues to confuse the crazy quite cordially. To conclude, the crazed conspicuous conundrum confuses the cordially questionable quantities of conceptually countless claims clearly clarified as conflated quandaries continuously contradicting a considerable count of conspiracies. 11/2/16 11:59 p
