PRAYER IS A TEAM SPORT [In the voice of your favourite over-excited rugby commentator.] We're inside the final quarter. We've seen a bone-cruncher of a contest today and there's no sign of a let up, the pray-ers gather for the next engagement, positioning themselves with practiced confidence, skillfully supporting each other, ready for the push.  You can see every knee and each hand bears the marks from this long muddied pray, red and brown staining every inch of their entwined limbs; - arms and hands holding fast. Front row. Second row. Back row. Digging in for the big push. The opposition has played an intelligent game, taking advantage of any lapse in concentration, any sign of tiredness, looking for any weakness to exploit.  The pray-ers know they can't afford any slips now, they need to keep up the pressure, maintain their advance deep in the opposition's half.  Every yard of gained ground needs to be defended. The pray-ers' Coach looks on - look at his smile! You can see the pride he has for his team, he's schooled them on every tactic of the opposition and now that training, that practice has paid dividends. This is a team of pray-ers that so clearly know each other well, supporting each other every step of the way. You can see their coordinated pray, their sustained effort and the sheer pleasure they feel when they are praying together. The pray-ers drive on.  The sound of their groans and deep breaths merge into one. There's a rhythm to it, a cadence as together they push and PUSH.  The opposition's footing is slipping, the pray-ers' momentum gains pace and, YES! the resistance collapses.  Oh, that must have hurt! But there's no time for complacency, the pray-ers re-form their line looking for the next opening, the next opportunity to push forward. This is a joy to see.  The Coach shouts his encouragement - this was never going to be an easy struggle; you can't dismiss the opposition - they are a seasoned though sometimes disorganised team and they can take you by surprise.  But as we've seen here today, the Coach knows that if his team of pray-ers keep to the plan and pray to their strengths, the opposition are surely in for a hiding. The pray-ers will triumph and they will take the winners' crown. - Now back to the action.

You Know Your a Poet When: Superbowl Edition
Loosing gravity, I hovered above, The fields and woods, hills and dales, Egrets and cranes sensing  a competetor Near gave a chase, that was nice though. 'Just a metaphor that means a search For beauty and lasting meaning' I heard, Who said it; unknown commentator viewing Every movement, each moment, of universe! What a mystery, I thought for a moment, Not the 'I' before, but one that is aggragated, Above the narrow limits of me,my and mine, The cranes and herons keeping me company Had bid goodbye, I saw palms wave  hands. Feeling comfortable with the new fecility I flew high easy, couldn't find where I end And the multiverse of wonders takes me over "Aĺl I thought of me was as a visitor to this Island of time and space, part of a whole, But I have  my sweetheart close to my heart Near and dear, friends all over the world Many of us never met but neighbours of My heart, I hear them from afar and their Heartbeat I felt mine; was an adventure this, Love prompted, a lilting poem  in progress, Now  a flow with the wind circling universe I am ecstacy itself, time is the essence in this Tale, told  by many eyes" whispered I to My invisible companions, winging with me. And loomed large in my being my beloved Moon with whom I fell madly in love in an Age of unreason and wild infatuation. She felt compelled to hold me close to her ***** and kissed my sweaty brows gently A moment of oblivion, now I am one with The sprit of universe, in thought and deed When being becomes nothingness, bliss! The starry nights, embellished in darkness And light  is my domain till eternity, I have No loss or gain, what 'I was' cherished is not Taken from me a bit, in this wingless flight The stars, a billions lighted souls dancing In time line far near and eternal began To hum a celestial tune that becomes all, That makes the universe, it moves in waves Holds all together with love and compassion All the rest are just tales,elements create You and I, all the rest are myths illusory Apparition of one and only music eternal.

LOOSING GRAVITY, I HOVERED ABOVE

Running out of Oxygen, burning out When contenders feel like Dropping dead, In an unexampled manner Summoning a vestige Of energy Bringing into play A new strategy, Miruts Yifter Ethiopia's Olympic legend Used to surge ahead Demonstrating a race Is a sport of foot,lung And head. That is why A commentator Christened him “Mirutse Yifter The gear changer!” “I dare say Catching up with him In a dead heat There is no way Once, he broke away!” Two golds in 5 thousand And 10 thousand meter race In Moscow Olympic With a gear-changing tactic What a trick, what a trick! What a story to children And grandchildren to tell Recalling minutest Detail well!” In our childhood, With people In the neighborhood Our eyes To TV screens glued We used to relish Miruts' sprinted finish Forcing rivals Winning dreams To relinquish! After the medal Putting on ceremony, Heading to Our football pitch We used to run round, Round,round and round Till exhausted ourselves We found! It is adopting Mirutse's footprint Haile,Derartu,Kenenisa, Tirunesh,Selershi and Meseret sprint! This formula grand Gradually has found Its way to Kenya And England May be tomorrow To Sire lanka or America!

The gear changer
Thinking when I'm not speaking Dreaming when I'm not sleeping Holding my tongue But internally i'm screaming Its a wonder all these things that I'm feeling Don't make me force my own bleeding Or stop me from breathing It seems they live within my skin Internalized karma killers They say the good die young Well the old are our pillars So where does that leave us? Snorting coke of the same mantle From which we worship Jesus Castles made of sand Are the realty of the land In between the paint and plaster Huddle humorless laughter castors And in between the organic plastic Is where my hope lies So long as they stay focused Keep their mind clear and open But who knows when Change will come about Like a siren to the deaf It's silent when it shouts The thoughtless opinion population Sleep in the mire they were raised in Like cave men Not daring to walk the paths less taken

The Commentator Complex
Start the day. In what way was the cold spring, last wet summer a global warning, indicator. Says one commentator on the op-ed page, the dislocations, wars, famines will tax humanity's technology, philosophy, even religion's ability to see past daily survival to the music in the rock. I've doubted the taboos one frog among many in the slow-heating beauty of the world we knew. Aaron's coconut. Peepers peeping in the heavy rains, wet with joy. Hawks and crows thrive below the jet stream, noise, perhaps our fears are overdrawn, we'll get along, it'll all hold together 10,000 years more, the Holocaust will never be repeated, lush mountain and sere desert equally appreciated, baseball lazily paced summer evenings, the harvest in the fall a sure thing, and the dying back a blessing come to all.

Aaron's Coconut
Remembering the game I couldn't tell you. But the hot dog, peanuts, ******* jacks and soda was there. I didn't understand the rules as I listened to the commentator. The calming voice and discussions between each pitch. Remembering the game I couldn't tell you. But being able to go to Ozone Park to see my grandparents. I didn't understand the rules as I listened to the commentator. As I sat on the floor in their living room with grandmas chocolate pudding. Remembering the game I couldn't tell you. But being able to watch my friends play softball at Randal Park. I didn't understand the rules and there was no commentator. As I was nominated to be the catcher for just a moment or two. Remembering the game I couldn't tell you. But as I once again can relax somewhat in my head laying in bed. I didn't understand the rules as I listened to the commentator. The calming voice on the other end was just as calming too. CMH

Remembering The Game
An artist with eyes wide open sees art spoken the silence between words and phrases Illuminates the ideas within. They live out thousands of lives in the confines of one a commentator, a spectator yet living and being and seeing all no matter how small. breathing in the darkness and light meditating on intricacies Like that of a flower held by a ***** eternity shivers Possessed by their grasp caught between pain and rapture the pen stains the page with ink Blessed be the imagination in which they sink and swim these poets that are skin and soul eyes that travel and unravel mysteries that we shall never see places and faces between you and me The depth of field and focus of which can never be seen the poet is dreamer.

The Poet
Never have you ever seen a nothing? Silly little something you are already found Prophetic, prolific, a sea of chemical compound The very notion confounds any attempt to explain A reverent proclivity for life or its viral civility Once this is said nowhere have you been Commentator of moral, of sin Thus a nothing could you have been As we are so, nothing also is of being Justly, all that he is lacking are all these frames that estrange us

To glimpse upon a *nothing*
she tells me that she's breathing only that shame again and that there is nothing i can do to relieve her pain again she has walked a thousand miles in hand me down shoes no stretch of roadside can ever quench these travelling blues i don't know how to feel but yet i pretend to understand what do i know of her life or this punctuating hard land bequeathed to her from generations since come and passed as culture, a sense of identity, a life much too innocent to last she's reaching out, longing for her own voice to be heard masquerading empathy i offer all these right and measured words for with no one to answer to nor no real actions to take i master in hollow sentiment formed from these feelings i fake as always i seek the beauty of fragility for only my gain i play out this butterfly's life as her delicate wings are stung by rain briefly she flies as her life sparks and dims over fourteen days by resurrecting my jesus my self satisfaction empowers my ways so why is it she that carries this shame and i stand left of frame as a spectator, a commentator, an outsider to the rules of the game whereas she is the soul of the mythical dancer in the flame i am the vessel devoid of heart breathing in this cold cold shame

A newspaper in hand, glasses on his nose, he sat on his big blue chair, with a carefree pose. A fire by his side, the commentator in his ear, he'd pause his daily routine, and change what's on his mind. He'd greet me with a big "Hello", in a deep country voice, lots of questions followed, all the while quietening Marty's gig. I saw him in bed that night, the mask of life around his mouth; this time I greeted him with a big "Hello", hoping he'd reply. His eyes remained closed, his hand in hers, the sound of the commentator unquiet, the newspaper at his bedside, untouched and exposed.

His Newspaper
A blue glow casts shadows across my face. The room is silent except for the low drone of the air-conditioning unit And the grumble of the clearly miserable commentator.

found poetry: Aphorism
By: Cedric McClester I believe hope springs eternal With faith measured by the kernel We can get past this infernal If we get cooking with some Sterno Can we turn it all around When we commit to get down All kinds of solutions can be found So I’ll continue to expound We can over come they sang While shooters went bang bang bang But not from the members of a gang Out of the darkness from which they sprang So I’ll remain an optimist Not just a complainant who ***** his fist I know that ignorance is bliss But at all costs that’s what we must resist If there’s a need for a paradigm James Baldwin called it the fire next time While city officials called it a crime We can’t repeat it time after time But I’m encouraged by what I see From the populace and the powers that be I don’t know if that’s just me Cos I see a positive destiny The commentator called for peace and calm While the Nation of Islam called an alarm And members of the clergy said do no harm Let’s march in protest arm and arm I know that we can find a better way Than the tragic displays of yesterday Because everybody’s gonna have their say See I believe in time it’s gonna be okay Cedric McClester, Copyright (c) 2016.

A- although our mouth is not as sharp as razor but we meant to be a commentator for you and your predecessors, about your administrator you being a procrastinator doesn't make us an accelerator for us to be an conquistadors. U- under the administration of the oppressors they pressed our pressure so as to dismeasure our treasure because they know we have no pleasures that's why they keep ignoring our eyesores . T- to all we ,the children of masses may God shower his endless mercy cos we know he is more merciful than wizzy and messi . E- everyone is born to be great ,so stop competing with the mates you are not going for any race ,either in the way or in the phase, unless you want to be an unfocused chase. C- call yourself a name and let's see if it will remain the same, whether you need to find a lane in the rain to remained the main,for you are born to reign and same time in the vain try to maintain the pain ,quit explaining the grains of the pains for your success is certain. H- hello the oppressor how far about the pleasure? hope it will be last to be measure I think you don't forget your post can never be carry over and your life is reading like calorimeter , this life is like a chapter, nothing after your dismissal you being a miser or a cheerier ,you will soon be a divorcer.

A- although our mouth is not as sharp as razor but we meant to be a commentator for you and your predecessors, about your administrator you being a procrastinator doesn't make us an accelerator for us to be an conquistadors. U- under the administration of the oppressors they pressed our pressure so as to dismeasure our treasure because they know we have no pleasures that's why they keep ignoring our eyesores . T- to all we ,the children of masses may God shower his endless mercy cos we know he is more merciful than wizzy and messi . E- everyone is born to be great ,so stop competing with the mates you are not going for any race ,either in the way or in the phase, unless you want to be an unfocused chase. C- call yourself a name and let's see if it will remain the same, whether you need to find a lane in the rain to remained the main,for you are born to reign and same time in the vain try to maintain the pain ,quit explaining the grains of the pains for your success is certain. H- hello the oppressor how far about the pleasure? hope it will be last to be measure I think you don't forget your post can never be carry over and your life is reading like calorimeter , this life is like a chapter, nothing after your dismissal you being a miser or a cheerier ,you will soon be a divorcer.

Quotes 222
By: Cedric McClester I believe hope springs eternal With faith measured by the kernel We can get past this infernal If we get cooking with some Sterno Can we turn it all around When we commit to get down All kinds of solutions can be found So I’ll continue to expound We can over come they sang While shooters went bang bang bang But not from the members of a gang Out of the darkness from which they sprang So I’ll remain an optimist Not just a complainant who ***** his fist I know that ignorance is bliss But at all costs that’s what we must resist If there’s a need for a paradigm James Baldwin called it the fire next time While city officials called it a crime We can’t repeat it time after time But I’m encouraged by what I see From the populace and the powers that be I don’t know if that’s just me Cos I see a positive destiny The commentator called for peace and calm While the Nation of Islam called an alarm And members of the clergy said do no harm Let’s march in protest arm and arm I know that we can find a better way Than the tragic displays of yesterday Because everybody’s gonna have their say See I believe in time it’s gonna be okay © Copyright 2015, Cedric McClester.

WE CAN GET PAST THIS INFERNAL
Arrived for my annual physical Sat in the doctor's office for 30 minutes Finally called to the window to consult with the clerk Who informed me that I had no appointment. Interesting? I told her that I was there for my annual physical which I had scheduled over the phone. "Ah, that is next week" she informed me. I was a week early The good side was that all my paperwork was filled out. I had another week to develop new ageing symptoms, An opportunity to have more thoughts as to what to discuss with the doctor One week to improve my eating habits, reduce cholesterol, exercise more and I have a whole seven days to do it. After I left and was listening to the radio I heard an interview by Bobby Osborne who wrote the song "Rocky Top." Bobby is in his 80's and the interviewer asked to what he could attribute his old age. Bobby answered "Alcohol, drugs and exercise." The commentator says don't you mean avoiding those and Bobby answered "Yes." Well, Bobby, I think I will just continue the alcohol and the exercise Both in moderation. Maybe my memory will improve and I will get to my doctor's Appointment next week.

Is It Amnesia or Possibly Fugue?
War, A disease ridden body, A commentator between Satan and god!! War, A ***** a slob, a demon for all taking! A plundering statued ****** War, A masked perfume, Upon thy evening news it waves back at thou!! War, Its taken Young and old alike, There's no wrong, nor any right, just blood to sweep the dune!! War, Thy mother and father's platoon, It hides between the rooms of terrorism and fear!! War, Drink away thy sorrows, No new day tomorrow, just radiation to crack thy skin! War, No one shall win...

war's karma
Dear Father I heard stories, how you'd beat her, from the neighbour, when I was younger; then you stole her_________ mother's necklace, just to spoil your little lover. Oh my mother! You'd infect with a disease, so worse than cancer. But my mother, hid her pain; from any nosey commentator. Because of you she had to suffer, with *** it took a fighter. You broke her heart, But still she prayed for you to God. When you ran off, leaving behind, a diamond: "are you blind?" But it's fine...she don't mind. She just hoped, that you will find... a little peace before you die, when in pieces, and you try, to correct the whitest lie... that you told to other women, like my mother; what a guy! I held her hand as she fell ill, but she never chose to cry, she was stubborn; but forgave you right before she said goodbye. But that's all I have to say, so have a blessed Father's Day.

Happy Father's Day
"Let’s set the record straight. There is no argument over the choice between peace and war, but there is only one guaranteed way you can have peace and you can have it in the next second, “surrender.” Admittedly there is a risk in any course we follow other than this, but every lesson in history tells us that the greater risk lies in appeasement, and this is the specter our well-meaning liberal friends refuse to face that their policy of accommodation is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war, only between fight or surrender. If we continue to accommodate, continue to back and retreat, then eventually we have to face the final demand “the ultimatum.” And what then? When Nikita Khrushchev has told his people he knows what our answer will be? He has told them that we are retreating under the pressure of the Cold War, and someday when the time comes to deliver the final ultimatum, our surrender will be voluntary because by that time we will have weakened from within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from our side he has heard voices pleading for peace at any price or better Red than dead, or as one commentator put it, he would rather live on his knees than die on his feet. And therein lies the road to war, because those voices don’t speak for the rest of us. You and I know and do not believe that life is so dear and peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing in life is worth dying for, when did this begin just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses have told the children of Israel to live in slavery under the pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should the patriots at Concord Bridge have thrown down their guns and refused to fire the shot heard round the world? The martyrs of history were not fools, and our honored dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of the Nazis didn’t die in vain. Where, then, is the road to peace? Well, it’s a simple answer after all. You and I have the courage to say to our enemies. There is a price we will not pay. There is a point beyond which they must not advance. Winston Churchill said that the destiny of man is not measured by material computation. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits not animals. And he said, “There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.” You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on Earth, or we will sentence them to take the last step into a thousand years of darkness." - President Ronald Reagan
