Grace. Let it fall like an ocean Let it rip through the skies Let it fill up my heart and pour out my eyes Let it gravitate my soul Let it make me feel whole Let it remind me of why I live Let it remind me of all that you give! Grace Let my heart be made still and let mine eyes be opened! Let me remember that my ears were made to listen And my lips exist for a lot more than just kissin' Let me remember that these hands simply cannot do it all Cuz see I wasn't made for that I wasn't made for that at all Grace I was made to live and when I say live I think I mean give But then I quickly realize I can only give so much! And there's only so many lives I can touch! Well how can I love if I can't constantly give And how can I live if I can't constantly love but Where's the hope in the God above if I'm the one doin' all the work? And that's when I remember I accomplish the most when I just let go And let You grab hold Grace Well what were these hands made for if not feeding the poor? And what are these heart-wrenching feelings of constantly wanting more? Why do my bones ache and my soul quake at the thought Of living for myself? Why do I worry so much about putting the marginalized on the shelf? Why do I worry about a life that loves hell? Well maybe all this is an unidentified desire to glorify God personified in Jesus Christ crucified Grace And maybe my soul's been singin' songs to my saviour since the day I was born And maybe my saviour's been singin' sweet lullabies to quench the fear in my eyes Maybe not all is lost Maybe hope and salvation really come without cost WELL TRY AND TELL THAT TO THE MAN LIVIN' ON THE STREET WITH NOTHIN' TO EAT an' TELL THAT TO THE CHILD WHOSE FATHER GIVES HIM A DAILY BEATING TELL THE MURDERER'S AND RAPISTS THAT THEY CAN GO FREE TELL THEIR VICTIMS... Tell them what? Grace Maybe it's time I remembered I don't have all the answers Maybe it's time I remembered I am a speck of dust in a rolling beach of existence Maybe it's time I look at what's right in front of me And not strain my neck as far as the eye can see Maybe it's time to focus on living and not just surviving Maybe thriving looks more like trusting than trying Maybe all the answers to my questions aren't really answers at all Maybe it's alright that my walk sometimes feels like a crawl Maybe 100% of the wrongs I do are all my fault Grace Maybe God's lookin' at me like a child set free Maybe God's not lookin' at who I used to be Maybe God's lookin' right past all the bitterness and apathy Maybe God really does look at the heart And maybe He's been holding mine from the very start Maybe this is all going according to plan and if it's not well then maybe God's still using it to help me become a better man Maybe it's time I stopped trying to figure all this out! Grace Let it be felt Tangibly

Take me to the art museum and kiss me by the paintings, Take me to the deeper parts of the oceans, so deep that any coral reef will be jealous that we will survive, Take me to that little ice cream shop my parents use to go on dates to when they were hopelessly in love and I'll let you order your favorite ice cream, Take me to the Chinese restaurant where my schizophrenic grandmother use to take me on late night outings and I'll kiss you in every booth, take me to New Jersey, to that beach where your parents stood in the same room and introduced you to home, take me to your bed, talk to me about those parts of your body not everyone gets to meet, take me to an abandoned hospital and let me take your blood on a canvas and make it resemble the Mona Lisa, so that people years from now glorify us, take me to the hill where I first tried ******* and let's make our hearts beat in sync with the breath of the flowers surrounding us, take me to that bench in the school gym where we met and kiss me, kiss me like you've never kissed anyone before, kiss me as if it'll be the last lips you ever touch, kiss me as if your life depended on it, take me to the edge of the universe and I'll show you the end of my love.

I tried, x ** something I get a lot is, “you’re too young to be a feminist.” too young to be a feminist for you’ve yet to witness a rhyme or reason to believe we lived in a patriarch-fueled society where the erectile dysfunctions of men are paid for by health care but, God forbid a woman seeks birth control to help herself God forbid a woman does anything to help herself a society where women are taught to be happy with what they can get yet to be ashamed when they get it a society where I grew up being taught not to trust a man for he’d hurt me but taught to have the house clean and his dinner on the table when he got home a society where a woman in a tank top and a pair of daisy dukes is a ***** who is asking for it” when the same woman is what’s used to market the male population who are taught that this is the woman they deserve a society where a woman is unworthy and ***** if she isn’t a ****** but a man is a man so long as he is “getting the hoes” a society where women are taught to protect their innocence and their virtue and the society where they are ostracized and ridiculed for not being ready a society where consent is hopped, skipped, and jumped around and the so called “fact” issued by Scott Johnson that says men can’t control their issues a society where a woman’s womb is not her own whether she wants this baby or not I was taught *** was shameful and wrong unless you were married but please, give him a baby and keep him satisfied we glorify teen pregnancies and ignore the accomplishments of women if I’m too young to be a feminist, then it’s quite **** sad I can point out what’s wrong in the world.

By now,the seed varieties of the world, may have been attacked beyond recovery by wars of pretense and relapses. We are still learning how to handle it properly. We tend to say. Some will talk and plan over dinner parties, over TV or Radio. Most will leave it behind like another corpse of lessons thrown to the gutter, like a dead *** on another Sunset Boulevard. Iraq's seed banks we blew up in the 2000s. In various places in Asia and the Middle East, places of life and cultured varieties gone in an instant. Echoing our imprisoned ignorance and drives for more instant goods and services. Indian farmers have committed mass suicides after their god Hanuman was used by a chemical giant to sell poison seeds and renewed bondages of indebtedness. One question a stranger asked a group of writers on tour was not what their poetry or books were about, nor why they wrote it, but how writing may and may not be helping as we make decisions and solve problems now? Once agricultural lands turn into new promises of commercial buildings. Cities of inaccessible towers and abandoned malls in America, Spain, China, and Russia feeds us back our own echo. Like converted uses of lands, our humanity is converted into inanimate collections and status symbols of some players or parties. As we face our continuing struggle between our oppressor-selves and our genuine roots. Despite the perversions, inside vicious habits of waste where we glorify promises of war and efficiencies, we continue to be entrusted with the ongoing lessons: Rarely do surviving generations through famine, war and diseases, throw away means to live, or destroy any kind of seed. Every day we wake to the ruins and remains of Our living poetry, word spaces, hours, exchanges, gains and losses, stopping and going. This time, not just for fires of anguish or unnecessary losses, but for each other's midnight lamps.#

# You are your own instrument in the world orchestra Join the chorus Play a solo Or Simply stop Rest And listen to the beauty happening all around you The choice is yours Be your own voice Or follow another But only follow another if it resonates in your core as your true calling Above all else follow your heart Let your inner beauty shine so that the world can share in the special unique characteristics and traits that glorify your idiosyncratic nature wholly encompassing all that you are Making you special Making you YOU Because the best version of you is the authentic you And it not only brings inner peace but is also the greatest gift you can give the world #

Resonate
Tolerance is a form of intolerance: public acceptance, private disdain, the pretense that humanity is one's to allow. Acceptable operating parameters are not to be defined by support, and certainly not by a token indifference. To tolerate is to glorify one's limits. Feigning acceptance of the beyond, true character remains just out of reach. Better to hate openly and honestly than veil it in the robes of community; ...better yet, see tolerance for what it isn't.

On Tolerance
He is a link between this and the coming world. He is A pure spring from which all thirsty souls may drink. He is a tree watered by the River of Beauty, bearing Fruit which the hungry heart craves; He is a nightingale, soothing the depressed Spirit with his beautiful melodies; He is a white cloud appearing over the horizon, Ascending and growing until it fills the face of the sky. Then it falls on the flows in the field of Life, Opening their petals to admit the light. He is an angel, send by the goddess to Preach the Deity's gospel; He is a brilliant lamp, unconquered by darkness And inextinguishable by the wind. It is filled with Oil by Istar of Love, and lighted by Apollon of Music. He is a solitary figure, robed in simplicity and Kindness; He sits upon the lap of Nature to draw his Inspiration, and stays up in the silence of the night, Awaiting the descending of the spirit. He is a sower who sows the seeds of his heart in the Prairies of affection, and humanity reaps the Harvest for her nourishment. This is the poet -- whom the people ignore in this life, And who is recognized only when he bids the earthly World farewell and returns to his arbor in heaven. This is the poet -- who asks naught of Humanity but a smile. This is the poet -- whose spirit ascends and Fills the firmament with beautiful sayings; Yet the people deny themselves his radiance. Until when shall the people remain asleep? Until when shall they continue to glorify those Who attain greatness by moments of advantage? How long shall they ignore those who enable Them to see the beauty of their spirit, Symbol of peace and love? Until when shall human beings honor the dead And forget the living, who spend their lives Encircled in misery, and who consume themselves Like burning candles to illuminate the way For the ignorant and lead them into the path of light? Poet, you are the life of this life, and you have Triumphed over the ages of despite their severity. Poet, you will one day rule the hearts, and Therefore, your kingdom has no ending. Poet, examine your crown of thorns; you will Find concealed in it a budding wreath of laurel.

In that land somewhere of our dreams all is to be found right therein it seems where there isn’t a struggle for survival as the brotherhood of man is in revival. We help each other and have no real fear our hope is occassioned with good cheer. Whatever we think, do or therefore say is imbued with love and lights the way. We have all arrived at that promised land and must work together as a united band; giving and sharing of the good we all can while upholding this brotherhood of man. Non-violence is one of the rules we live by the essence of love we maintain and glorify. We all live as one in both our heart and mind and express those feelings of a universal kind. There are no problems that we can’t resolve as all our life around love does here revolve. In living by the truth we are becoming free and in this condition enjoy the grace to see All that exists in the world can be seen anew which is an affirmation of scripture and true. Our life now is filled with bliss as it once began in this state of knowing the brotherhood of man. We do not therefore seek to get the better of each other but accomplish all that we need to helping one another. Being free from any unnatural cares our lives are whole and all that ever happens a joyful experience of the soul. Awake to intuition we have to realise our ultimate potential and so everything bears the stamp of some divine credential. In being as we are then our years extend for a long span as we all live in accordance with the brotherhood of man.

What can we give you that isn't already yours? What can we offer that you don't already possess? You don't ask for slaughtered goats or lambs. You don't need them to survive; they are yours anyway. You don't need us to call attention to outward sacrifice, you would rather our sacrifice be quiet and internal. Sacrifice a little of our time and spend it with you. Sacrifice our desires, our bad habits and make good habits. Sacrifice our selfishness and be a little more selfless. But the most pleasing of all sacrifices to you, you say: is a sacrifice of praise. To give thanks and praise and to glorify your Holy Name. You assure us that if we do this, then when we are in need and call upon your name, you will be there for us. Lord, so often, as humans we focus on what is on the outside but what matters most to you is what is on the inside. We are often so busy and preoccupied with by the world around us that we forget to stop or slow down and we miss what is most important in our lives. Lord help us sacrifice a little of our time to deepen and strengthen our friendship. Help us Lord to step back and open our eyes to what matters most in our lives: friends, family, and faith and to take time to be grateful for them and really cherish what precious short time we have together. Open our hearts Lord and fill them with the love you had and gave for the whole world so that we might be less selfish and more selfless. In being more selfless there is less of my self and there is more of you. We were all created in God's image and likeness. God is selfless love. The more we are selfless the closer we are to God and the more clearly we reflect the image and likeness of Christ to the world and those in it. We were created to be selfless, but like Jesus we must take the time to be alone, give thanks and praise for all the blessings we have and to eat, drink and rest that we might have Strength for the Journey.

I pray that you will daily see The God who fashioned you and me Who formed the stars and gave us breath Who’s sovereign over life and death He is supreme and He is Love Fulfills His purpose from Above A Grand Design! A Perfect Plan! Holding all things in His hand His care is deep; His pleasures, sweet Into which I pray you’ll sink Deep and deep…and deeper still Adore Him always; seek His will He calls you “child” – loves you much And so much so He loved you such: When you were yet a rebel to The heart of God, Christ died for you A chosen soul, a chosen Bride “Born that man no more may die!” He gave His life for all His Sheep He sowed it all that we might reap Might reap new life and strength to run To glorify God’s Only Son To speak of Truth and sing with joy: “In death, death has been destroyed!” So, see the riches of His grace By which you have beheld His face He opened your blind eyes to see Now daily look, and with Him, be He’ll hold you safe until the end No one can ****** you from His hand He runs to meet you – draws you near And daily whispers, “Do not fear” .

A Gospel Prayer
Flooded and doomed alone I stand Helplessly watching my people fall out of my hand I wish I could quaff down this copious water And save them all from this clutter It takes me back to the bloodshed When innocent Kashmiris time and again bled For a war that thrived for my land and soil Helplessly watching it made my heart coil I wish to break into a million pieces When I watch these sorrowful bruised faces But I am the king of the north I need to stand tall and face the wrath. But oh Allah, tell me why do my people suffer? Can you give me the power to buffer? I, Jammu & Kashmir plead you to glorify us all We cannot take another fall I dream of a day full of joy Where guns are never replicated even as a toy I dream of freedom from all bad omen Please bless each animal, child, man and women. The people of Pakistan and India are welcome on my land Only with friendly non-armed hands. You have no rights to claim me I am the creator’s property, you shouldn't break me.

Tonight I learned what it means to be mortal. To have a fifteen year dream crushed publicly. To smile and be the man that lies, “it’s ok, God has better plans and I trust that.” Tonight my wings were clipped and I was sentenced to a life of soil and toil, forever forced to watch the eagles in orange soar in the clouds and sky that I know I was created to own. I love this place because it is more of a home than I have ever known. It is pure and navy and orange and majestic. I wanted to serve it and glorify my king and this institution. Alas, no. Not I but the vultures. How is it that carrion dominate? How is it that prestige trumps passion? How is it that title and gold trump heart and integrity? I lost respect for my home. I feel as if a stranger in my own walls. I gave more than sweat and blood and tears yet they were swept under the carpet to rot. Fester and rot. I hope my passion and time as leader was well spent, it was and always was for you, tiger, not me! Always! I sharpened your claws and defended your teeth until they ****** me. Why. This is not how it is supposed to be. I pray this love and three year passion was not for non. Not for me, not for nametags or orange jackets, not for titles or for comfort but for passion and unbridled love of the institution which ****** me have I served. I have yet to work through what I’ve learned through this but tonight I know a chapter has ended and it hurts. It’s not that the chapter ended and a period was placed and the next began, it’s the end of the climactical chapter and the next pages are blank. Existent, yes. But blank. And the white on the page pales in comparison to orange and blue. I hate white and it’s idle uncertainty. I hold the pen but tonight my hand was severed, my limbs they rot, and my heart is numb. I am jello and I am free. And I hate, with every inth of my fibrous being, this freedom. I miss my chains.

Alexander K  Opicho (Eldoret, Kenya;[email protected]) let me begin my salutation to you by expressing my angst  about your ghastly night experience that you go through when in the hands of the policemen who often walk around in the name of security patrols while in truth they bettle terror in the show of evil mighty they swop you down and arrest you spreadeagled asking for bribes substantially the money of your proceeds from the ware of your trade your body the temple of christian God, Wherever  your lack money your beauty saves you as they go on to  **** you  in circles among themselves as they glorify the power of your bossom in their policeman's slang, where beauty , tyranny of bossom and your bribe is absent you are forlornly arrested from the streets of Nairobi and Lagos or Johannesburg then rounded down to a dingy police cell to be charged with  heinous crimes of prostitution and vagrancy, when the true origin of your fortune's tomfoolery is powers that be as they glorify anti woman crude cultures beseeching a girl child into despair and depravement, they are these men who refused to  see you as a beacon of glory they always link you to the filthy bedrooms from which you ennoble not.

i am a summer wild child, i was born with sunflowers in my hair, sand tickling my pores. i am a fairy with periwinkle lids, gold dust when i need to.. jolt. i am a mermaid with scales to mesmerize, hypnotize, glorify. (but i fell in love with a two-legged fellow) i am the pixie your mother told you to stay away from, but you frolic through the meadows, hoping to catch a glimpse.

gold dust
let's make a deal. uncap the bottle, discover my greatest work- a soliloquy on sentience, performed to an empty room. the walls are bleeding lead poisoning again and i am leaving logic behind. the air is crisp on my wretched skin and as the world dies its aching breath helps me to finally feel alive. i am pure white. let me rise, enlightened. as i float, breathless, i can feel, finally, the weight of my bones. make me into a sparrow, feast upon my marrow, so i can become porous- but leave my hollow mind whole. idolize me. spin my disease into pure beauty. a stone-cold rose grounds the coffin for my dreams, liberating me from responsibility. awaken me. strip my heavy corpse of its wings, eviscerate the breath from my lungs cease my tangibility oh glory, build me up strip me down to my knuckles and teeth, to the weathered bone. remove the bloodstains from my home. if i bleed now it will be beautiful when i fall, i will glorify the cement, decorate it with my shining insides when i come down it will be stunning it will be dreadful and i will be resplendent -but the delivery won't change the content candy wrapping can't cover up the stench of death- i have given up on purging the necrosis from my tissue i have found this tantalizing muse once again, and once more i will let her put cigarettes out on my sorry skin. i've grown to love the smell, that acrid poison it almost covers up the scars she leaves- if i can make dying sound beautiful then to hell with us all if you could romanticise suicide you'd be rotting too

things get boring. even vaginas get boring. a thousand vaginas might not get boring, neither would a million. i’d like a million vaginas. i would eat and drink from them, use them as bait, sell, smoke and ponder them, write sonnets for them and live in them, glorify, sail and sauté them. then they wouldn’t be vaginas at all. they would be more like a habitat, or an ecosystem. now that might be something of interest.

Night Train To Mundo Fine
Our fellow ******** people, or should I say mentally handicapped, have two eyes, a nose, and a beating heart far more large and caring then any1 else's. Everyday people abuse the word ****** We use it to describe something slow or stupid. The problem with this is that everytime you use that word, you're insulting a group of people that cannot defend themselves. The mentally handicapped aren't locked in dark basements to rot and die anymore; they're out in the world living as every1 else. And becuz of this we've "accepted" them right? We're a big happy and accepting world to every single human being becuz we're all equal! WRONG. We glorify freedom and how wonderful it is, but with freedom comes hate. With freedom comes words that r always going to be there forever, just to remind the human race that some1 with an extra chromosome is different.

Judas' Diary
A hollow ‘hello’ from Hell! Yes, from Hell. Where do names come from? This Hell is a sleepy fishing village and the best spot that we’ve found on Hollow Head, a Sleepy Hollows, so to speak. We are in the ‘Bridegroom’, a little Bed and Breakfast, run by a Rip Van Winkle wise enough to know it was Empedocles who jumped into Mount Etna. Empedocles! Is my face red! Yet it will glorify my pronoun to perfection—‘he jumps’. Yes, both poetry and philosophy ought to have the same antecedent. They forge a world that’s capable of consciousness. The self, per se, remains vestigial— the voice of the volcano, not its source. Your pronoun is the antecedent, not your noun. Problematic resolved. Perhaps I will go for a walk in Hell, perhaps I will take the air, take the breezes. A wonderful day in Hell! Ha-ha!
