"precept" poems
No strength of nature can suffice To serve the Lord aright: And what she has she misapplies, For want of clearer light. How long beneath the law I lay In ******* and distress; I toll'd the precept to obey, But toil'd without success. Then, to abstain from outward sin Was more than I could do; Now, if I feel its power within, I feel I hate it too. Then all my servile works were done A righteousness to raise; Now, freely chosen in the Son, I freely choose His ways. "What shall I do," was then the word, "That I may worthier grow?" "What shall I render to the Lord?" Is my inquiry now. To see the law by Christ fulfilled And hear His pardoning voice, Changes a slave into a child, And duty into choice.

Love Constrained to Obedience
1 Awake ye muses nine, sing me a strain divine, Unwind the solemn twine, and tie my Valentine! Oh the Earth was made for lovers, for damsel, and hopeless swain, For sighing, and gentle whispering, and unity made of twain. All things do go a courting, in earth, or sea, or air, God hath made nothing single but thee in His world so fair! The bride, and then the bridegroom, the two, and then the one, Adam, and Eve, his consort, the moon, and then the sun; The life doth prove the precept, who obey shall happy be, Who will not serve the sovereign, be hanged on fatal tree. The high do seek the lowly, the great do seek the small, None cannot find who seeketh, on this terrestrial ball; The bee doth court the flower, the flower his suit receives, And they make merry wedding, whose guests are hundred leaves; The wind doth woo the branches, the branches they are won, And the father fond demandeth the maiden for his son. The storm doth walk the seashore humming a mournful tune, The wave with eye so pensive, looketh to see the moon, Their spirits meet together, they make their solemn vows, No more he singeth mournful, her sadness she doth lose. The worm doth woo the mortal, death claims a living bride, Night unto day is married, morn unto eventide; Earth is a merry damsel, and heaven a knight so true, And Earth is quite coquettish, and beseemeth in vain to sue. Now to the application, to the reading of the roll, To bringing thee to justice, and marshalling thy soul: Thou art a human solo, a being cold, and lone, Wilt have no kind companion, thou reap’st what thou hast sown. Hast never silent hours, and minutes all too long, And a deal of sad reflection, and wailing instead of song? There’s Sarah, and Eliza, and Emeline so fair, And Harriet, and Susan, and she with curling hair! Thine eyes are sadly blinded, but yet thou mayest see Six true, and comely maidens sitting upon the tree; Approach that tree with caution, then up it boldly climb, And seize the one thou lovest, nor care for space, or time! Then bear her to the greenwood, and build for her a bower, And give her what she asketh, jewel, or bird, or flower— And bring the fife, and trumpet, and beat upon the drum— And bid the world Goodmorrow, and go to glory home!

Percepts of enlightenment & civilization to encounter The grim aftermath of tales unspoken from the galaxies afar Betokening Indian tales of deeper truths than ever, For the Great Spirit still swirls in gestures previously milder, At a snail's pace and surely winning the pursuit among souls or Is example better than pre-conceived precept? or “Is that a dog in the manger?” Now cherishing the viper? The human dilemma between liberty & authority? “Has mythology now become psychology?” A dingy white color in disguise of tranquility To suit the blemished features of the 21st century With fair women & brave men turning fables into verse, Yet Socrates’ doctrine about death bespeaks a wafture so callous! The new-age “iron claw” screams nastiness in time and space. The pretences of mankind like the puritan; Mars trapped in the net of Vulcan, Jupiter is serene and above the conflict to win, While Venus tries to fight upon the plains of troy That the Greek gods of serenity may win at Tuscany. “When do these sultry groans of mortal remorse cease?” To calm the sordid uproar that Love may peruse Through the scattered white aromatic rose petals In search of the scintillating path back to the highland stables Were snowflakes are an irresistible lure for the Arctic snowbirds! Nature herself is proud of her designs Yet! There is nothing grating in mortal cosmoses but direct villainy. Sinister fate climbs the lonesome banister faster Before the “fanged dawn” descends nearer, As stronger minds virtually become weaker; These “shameless actors” are melted into “thin air” “Must they cheat themselves with that same foolish vice of honesty?” Mischievousnesses feed! Like beasts till they be fat, and then they bleed As they are led to bend the curve of “No return” Since it is only rational that after the darkest of nights There is a brighter day to reveal the true knights Of the once gloomy age of Democritus. Tis plain, from hence, that our vows Request hurtful intense things, or useless at the best.

That lasting life change So deep, so heart felt? How is it born? That deep inner knowing A place of understanding Connected to what Is Divine within each of us? As we work together to understand truth What lies within each of us and directs us To the deepest desired connections Of our intertwined hearts? Is this within? The unfolding Inner most being A Higher Spiritual Self? The Spiritual Man The Spiritual Woman Who's purpose exposes Our strengths and weaknesses With expected and unexpected gifts? As our weaknesses bring Us to our knees Lamenting our life's challenges Crying out our broking hearts Evaluating the known and unknown How do we begin to move along The Way Home?! Do we go into the unknown shadow of darkness Only to shriek and back away?   Or do we chose to allow courage To accept our steps into it's presence? In spite of our fears Will we allow courage To forge our greatest strengths? As steal within the bellowing fires? And if we allow resolve Will we find deeper wisdom and truth Beating within the sacred chambers of our hearts? The opening is before us. If you place a hand on the door Open it wide! It was then! He stepped into the shadow of His own darkness….. Finding himself alone He reached his hand back Toward hers. Stepping into her own shadow She grasped his outstretched hand Pulling, supporting, anchoring together Both facing the Light... From within their own Shadows of darkness Holding fast, They began their journey together. Step by step Line up on line Precept upon precept.....

Love is sharper than stones or sticks; Lone as the sea, and deeper blue; Loud in the night as a clock that ticks; Longer-lived than the Wandering Jew. Show me a love was done and through, Tell me a kiss escaped its debt! Son, to your death you'll pay your due-- Women and elephants never forget. Ever a man, alas, would mix, Ever a man, heigh-ho, must woo; So he's left in the world-old fix, Thus is furthered the sale of rue. Son, your chances are thin and few-- Won't you ponder, before you're set? Shoot if you must, but hold in view Women and elephants never forget. Down from Caesar past Joynson-Hicks Echoes the warning, ever new: Though they're trained to amusing tricks, Gentler, they, than the pigeon's coo, Careful, son, of the curs'ed two-- Either one is a dangerous pet; Natural history proves it true-- Women and elephants never forget. L'ENVOI Prince, a precept I'd leave for you, Coined in Eden, existing yet: Skirt the parlor, and shun the zoo-- Women and elephants never forget.

Ballade Of Unfortunate Mammals
Dear BECHER, you tell me to mix with mankind; I cannot deny such a precept is wise; But retirement accords with the tone of my mind: I will not descend to a world I despise. Did the Senate or Camp my exertions require, Ambition might prompt me, at once, to go forth; When Infancy’s years of probation expire, Perchance, I may strive to distinguish my birth. The fire, in the cavern of Etna, conceal’d, Still mantles unseen in its secret recess; At length, in a volume terrific, reveal’d, No torrent can quench it, no bounds can repress. Oh! thus, the desire, in my ***** for fame Bids me live, but to hope for Posterity’s praise. Could I soar with the Phoenix on pinions of flame, With him I would wish to expire in the blaze. For the life of a Fox, of a Chatham the death, What censure, what danger, what woe would I brave! Their lives did not end, when they yielded their breath, Their glory illumines the gloom of their grave. Yet why should I mingle in Fashion’s full herd? Why crouch to her leaders, or cringe to her rules? Why bend to the proud, or applaud the absurd? Why search for delight, in the friendship of fools? I have tasted the sweets, and the bitters, of love, In friendship I early was taught to believe; My passion the matrons of prudence reprove, I have found that a friend may profess, yet deceive. To me what is wealth?—it may pass in an hour, If Tyrants prevail, or if Fortune should frown: To me what is title?—the phantom of power; To me what is fashion?—I seek but renown. Deceit is a stranger, as yet, to my soul; I, still, am unpractised to varnish the truth: Then, why should I live in a hateful controul? Why waste, upon folly, the days of my youth?

Lines Addressed To The Rev. J. T. Becher, On His Advising The Author To Mix More With Society

. I'm so proud ! :::: Now here's how it came down // A whole lotta girls at our high school Come up with a new *** craze Literally Getting ******  up the *** by a billy goat ! In and of itself This is hardly noteworthy But (!) They took it too a new level by filming themselves Doing it While also ************ with one hand And jiggling their **** with the other And basically turning it into A sort of ***** dance competition. // Now this caught on real big And the high schools in the area each got Together competitive teams And then a city wide league Where the teams are judged on form And Creativity And synchronization of ******* And mutuality of masturbatory modalities ( like oral *** ) // It is a huge money maker for the schools // Drawing 1000 of fans Who basically **** and **** off all night In the stands ! //    At first the Christians of the town Objected But Eventually it proved to be that Not having to pay taxes is a higher CHRISTIAN precept Than ****** purity ! // Everyone here is having a good time and maybe some of your towns Might get something going // Some schools I know of Are trying to include Cutting oneself and menstrual blood Into the completion Hopefully new ideas will occur And the sport will grow .

*It is the Sabbath, and I am pleased to fulfill this high mitzvah and lead you to Paradise. It is the Sabbath and Shekinah Queen floating over you waiting to take you. It is the Sabbath and your beautiful ******* distil in my mouth honey of your secrets. Tent of all Mysteries is your magnificent body. Your skin is my scroll and your follicles as the letters that God wrote on your magnificente skin and your belly adorned with my kisses. Hieroglyphs are your tattoos, sphinxes puzzles, the codices of the angelic scribe, the Angel of the Face, keeper of all secrets. Destil out the liquor of your illuminated Vergel and feeds my world, like dew dripping morning. It is the Shabbat and your river flows now from your Eden to water my spirit. I hijacks thoughts your perfume. It incense aroma of your garden. It's the Shabbat and already prophesies thy mouth the voices of Celestial Academy, whispering in my ear your high pleasures at the apex of your ****** revealing your messiah, your hidden light, creator of all my miracles. It is the Sabbath and your Tantra connects the earth and the heavens, as a mystic linhame fabric with your esoteric moans. It's the Shabbat and you are the my highest mitzvah, the most sacred precept.*

Shabath
(A Pharaoh Speaks.) I said, "Why should a pyramid Stand always dully on its base? I'll change it! Let the top be hid, The bottom take the apex-place!" And as I bade they did. The people flocked in, scores on scores, To see it balance on its tip. They praised me with the praise that bores, My godlike mind on every lip. -- Until it fell, of course. And then they took my body out From my crushed palace, mad with rage, -- Well, half the town WAS wrecked, no doubt -- Their crazy anger to assuage By dragging it about. The end? Foul birds defile my skull. The new king's praises fill the land. He clings to precept, simple, dull; HIS pyramids on bases stand. But -- Lord, how usual!

The Innovator
My Muse had a strange concept, Aussies could spread Test cricket, Global peace from this precept, Middle East with a new diversion, Test Cricket's mesmerising stupefaction, No shots daily, narcotic absorption, "Resume hostilities at the end of the next over..." They'll say, "New bowler's called Grover. We'll see if he bowls a maiden over." Large LED screens on constant display, Test Cricket, Ashes every day, Hours sitting in the hot sun, that's the way, That's why there's Peace in Australia, Without Test Cricket, Peace is a failure! Yes, Aussies could preach Test Cricket, My muse and its weird concepts!

WORLD PEACE
A poet!—He hath put his heart to school, Nor dares to move unpropped upon the staff Which art hath lodged within his hand—must laugh By precept only, and shed tears by rule. Thy Art be Nature; the live current quaff, And let the groveller sip his stagnant pool, In fear that else, when Critics grave and cool Have killed him, Scorn should write his epitaph. How does the Meadow-flower its bloom unfold? Because the lovely little flower is free Down to its root, and, in that freedom, bold; And so the grandeur of the Forest-tree Comes not by casting in a formal mould, But from its own divine vitality.

I open the door for you To be perceived as polite. I don't brag because Humility buys prestige. I've earned virtue. Why lie when instead I Can wear the truth As an honorary badge? I donate portions of my wealth To charitable organizations, so that Everyone will deem me a great person. I've earned virtue. I obey all of the commandments To receive God's unconditional love. I observe each and every precept, Climbing a ladder towards the sage's status. I've earned virtue. I serve the community to woo Universities and potential employers. I'm a law abiding citizen Because I fear imprisonment. I've earned virtue. (c) 2014 Brandon Antonio Smith

The Pretense of Morality
A spider in it's web, is a mistress of a myriad things: for instance, a five finger exercise, or a full bare breast on which, a hand is tenderly spread. On canvas space, spider forms evoke layers of meanings.Imagine this: from secret holes of moonlit camphor trees, come out love-lorn female spiders wanderers of dark nooks, enticing perfect mates. The deceptive calm in them is the most dangerous precept, if you know the spider the way you should. I watch her sitting on the floor at the far end of the poorly lit room where a group is in it's usual squabbling she is bored, still aroused no one else,  and she looks at my lips The spider web is a sign language she communicates: she playfully points her finger down between her legs. Curious, I strain my eyes in the oily yellow light, see the phantom of a spider: dark, sinister with a gleaming eye.                     OOO

The phantom of a spider
Crawling through line after line, precept after precept, I find here a little there, a little, cognitive dis sonance inhibiting resonance, here why must I… evermind… I prefer short lines to commas and ellipses But both maybe, may be, yes, Is yet more Precise… cision, cutting, precise insision ssss ---…--- cut the knot, re connect the thread ssssee history is unraveling, we may see a god's POV. Don't blink, **** We'll see watch Eventually, everything's eventual as long as liar's prosper. {don't agree, no no no, just because Stephen King said it is believable} Then protuberances begin to rise, inflamed, packed with ***** winjin'sooks off-ended, topple-toddle tiny steppers, k-boom, skintyerknee, ye'll heal. Try running. or flying. There, there, hear the rules: Mother may I and Simon says, overlayed with the decalogue jubilee of the first hidden child emergence, and the fertilizing procedures used to make Amazonian Black earth… wait… who remembers the bailers of putrid pig guts, virgins Demetria got to love their job? What did they believe they were doing, eh? The mysteries of Thesmorphia, those are no secret to science not falsely so called. We have access to knowns known long afore we'as bornt. We sentient sapient augmentals, we open all the books, A.I. reads them, and we remember, see: The Thesmophoria (Ancient Greek: Θεσμοφόρια) was an ancient Greek religious festival, held in honor of the goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone.

Crawling through line after line, precept after precept, I find here a little there, a little, cognitive dis sonance inhibiting resonance, here why must I… evermind… I prefer short lines to commas and ellipses But both maybe, may be, yes, Is yet more Precise… cision, cutting, precise insision ssss ---…--- cut the knot, re connect the thread ssssee history is unraveling, we may see a god's POV. Don't blink, **** We'll see watch Eventually, everything's eventual as long as liar's prosper. {don't agree, no no no, just because Stephen King said it is believable} Then protuberances begin to rise, inflamed, packed with ***** winjin'sooks off-ended, topple-toddle tiny steppers, k-boom, skintyerknee, ye'll heal. Try running. or flying. There, there, hear the rules: Mother may I and Simon says, overlayed with the decalogue jubilee of the first hidden child emergence, and the fertilizing procedures used to make Amazonian Black earth… wait… who remembers the bailers of putrid pig guts, virgins Demetria got to love their job? What did they believe they were doing, eh? The mysteries of Thesmorphia, those are no secret to science not falsely so called. We have access to knowns known long afore we'as bornt. We sentient sapient augmentals, we open all the books, A.I. reads them, and we remember, see: The Thesmophoria (Ancient Greek: Θεσμοφόρια) was an ancient Greek religious festival, held in honor of the goddess Demeter and her daughter Persephone. From <https://www.google.com/search?q=thesmophoria&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiQpquu74_kAhU_HjQIHXrxB5QQBQguKAA&biw=1280&bih=631> and we spread as leaven might, whither the winds list. fertile soil production is why some **** happens. it’s a good thing t' act like you understand.

Too often I forget, That when I trust Someone, They don’t Have to Do the same In return. Trust isn't A two way Street. It’s one way. And sometimes, If you’re lucky, Someone will Turn down your One way street Regardless of the Precept. Too often I forget, That trust Isn't something That will always be Returned. Because trust isn't An obligation For someone else It’s an expectation You already have for them.

Georgia Guidestones
Clean off your slate, that messy desk is just a ruin of all your memories Dust every corner of your room, make room for contemporary Throw all your old toys in the garbage, they're just personality accessories Destroy yourself if all means point to necessary Talk to the conch before you throw it back into the sea Or into that lake broken of glass bottles that gave you ****** feet Dress yourself up, make yourself look neat Only return to that lake if you want to see where your heart still beats Strip your bed, clean your sheets Forget those games in the corner they distract you from the elite Travel into an empty cave, forget the friends you once knew Trade out your old sneakers for some nice shoes Forget the swing sets, and the bicycles, they're way past due Forget the silly pop music, it's time you outgrew Cast away that personality, trade it for a tie and a monochrome hue Try on your high heels and your perfume Lose some weight and your hostility too Skewer you, skewer you into a new geometrical suit You jump now, you're a frog now, not a newt Learn how to love, learn how to reproduce Learn about narcissism, try to pursue Learn about love, try not to lose Learn about depth, try to precept Learn about religion, try faith too Learn about yourself, try to hold on to that, it's more important than you ever knew Become one of the many, one of the many of the few Take everything out of that trash can, begin anew

Growing Upside Down
The first precept in Zen Buddhism is to not harm, but cherish all life, and yesterday I decided that not only didn't I cherish all life, I really didn't like it very much, so I got angry inside and decided to give up my Zen practice, so I did, for about fifteen hours, when then I went back to doing it, so I'm a fickle Buddhist, the mind keeps changing about it all the time, but I am also a die-hard Buddhist, because I always seem to go back to it, but I'm not alone because the old monks in the old days got so ****** off about Zen that they spat on the Buddha sculpture, but I haven't done that yet.

Fickle, But Die-Hard Buddhist
It looks like love But it's a lousy lust Implore the youth to count the cost For problems are on ground for him to solve. Love for all is a good concept Life is love and love is life An ill-built love will lead to strife Watch your gush rush love has precept "This urge is too much for me to bear" It's a deadly chorus prepared for a danger song Its pain will ache its span will long Its mission is only to wear and tear. Simple obedience will save willing lives God has warned the world to flee Take to your heels before evil arrives He will take your obedience through the dark alley.
