"rebuked" poems
Hello A gesture perceived as formless waves in the Web Perhaps a luring trap to be caught or a silent cry as print Scarcely Red Maybe you Reddit or Won't As text is the voice of this generation Quote ILY My fam is so cute #Hashbrowns @MyBFFFFs Last looks of a father as he leaves with a dry cleaned suit. The last breakfast I ate with my family Together. Rebuked. Now it lays archived in the mind of i A memory fragment less intact than the Colossus of Rhodes What's that? Let me Google that. What will become of the crowd The voices, in their plight are "Like wow, Laughing Out Loud" Like apathy is the new trend Can we even say there is a greater purpose of the time we Spend.

"In the grave, whither thou goest." O weary Champion of the Cross, lie still: Sleep thou at length the all-embracing sleep: Long was thy sowing day, rest now and reap: Thy fast was long, feast now thy spirit's fill. Yea, take thy fill of love, because thy will Chose love not in the shallows but the deep: Thy tides were springtides, set against the neap Of calmer souls: thy flood rebuked their rill. Now night has come to thee--please God, of rest: So some time must it come to every man; To first and last, where many last are first. Now fixed and finished thine eternal plan, Thy best has done its best, thy worst its worst: Thy best its best, please God, thy best its best.

Civilization—spurns—the Leopard!
I put little stock in counseling, simply because it doesn’t work for me. That’s reasonable. right? That’s why I’m not going back. Because contrary to the initial irrational paranoid belief held by not me, I was not ***** by anyone this last July, I am not an altered boy. Repression? Obsessions? Depressions? You’re right, in a sense. I was not ***** by one man this last July, I was ***** by the whole church for the past 18 years. I learned, or perhaps deduced, from Sunday School that all *** is sin that inanimate objects had a goodness or badness about them that Satan was in my head (by this I was terrified) that all my friends were going to Hell (by this I rebuked them and was never forgiven) that its true: my parents would have gotten me ****** to death in biblical times because they love me that I could choose who I was attracted to (apparently by watching straight **** that God needs money that the Internet is of the devil >mfw intellectual open market that I could only achieve ****** once in a lifetime >mfw I came that God’s love is conditional that electronics are a sin if they make noise and are inside a specific building that all Muslims are terrorists that I’m worthless because I’m a sinner that I’m inherently evil. And I still miss it sometimes. I miss the taste of Christ’s ****

I sat chatting to Alison of what I can't recall. Why she was here I had no idea at all. Ian laughed and made a reference to Cruella De Ville, a pet name for my ex that makes him giggle still. Then she entered, seemingly frantic, papers dropped floating like feathers. Her hair trailed as though chasing to catch her as she raced through the world. But no man could catch her as there was no race she was not even there but visiting the same. She spoke loudly, her words echoed of Edgar Allen Poe. Deep and mysterious, soft in reference to my very thoughts. She seemed familiar, yet not, oh how could that be? Real and not there, I thought I had met her. But probably not yet? She opened a book and said listen to me she spoke so softley I just agreed. I can't remember a word that she said only Alisons laughter and Ians nodding head. They sat next to us but faded away I was losing reality but needed to stay! The librarian rebuked them and I turned away, then I realised it was Caroline who was sat at the desk. She turned and smiled and started to say Hi I'm.... Before she could speak I said "Caroline" I know She smiled and leaned towards me, then I woke The dream blown to infinity. The library gone.

**Last I read, the Alpha said Jesus gave us Wine, Bread and Fish. The Way, Light and Truth was spread for nothing in return, a moving Church made wide, stead for each. Today I see business in Church all made part of some tradition, no valid permission...just a twisted perception of the less in the lurch and the rich in the mission. All due respect, I've seen Priests get lured by church female adolescence, truth. Priests are mentors especially to juvenescence, no wonder now church feels like a fashion parade courtesy of young essence, youth. Our Kids are now spiritually weak, they think going to church cleanses the sins for the following week. Adults say they've tried, but I see God holding a cane...whoever rebuked my Aunt's burial, pray you're not first in the lane. Where do we run to when Holy places are not such an Oasis? When white man doesn't travel to the moon with you? I don't know your faces...just mine, Black Jesus and Yahweh as basis...**

they say *"in this day and age sane people don't memorize phone numbers anymore the times are changing don't you know? it'll work out, it just needs time things change with time don't you know?"* and believe me, I tried but I can only give myself to you so many times until it begins to feel futile and unbearable I'd call your number, thinking maybe with hearing your voice I'd be rebuked by reality but with each call I was ****** deeper into the black hole I created that is you I never doubted your fidelity but rather my own how close I've come to giving you up and how often I did scared to abide for even another second because your hollow excuses didn't prevent the pain that shadowed every cancelled dinner date every 'I owe you' and every missed call I don't know what it was or where it came from that awful urge that dialed when I knew you were asleep or out of town but it didn't take long for the string of words *"you've reached the voice mailbox of five five five zero one three eight please leave your name and message at the tone or press pound for more options"* to be etched into my brain where the sound of your voice used to be it's kinda funny, isn't it? how I never cared for the sound of your voice but I figured if I heard it enough I'd get used to it with time funny how I hardly ever heard it at all funny how I can't remember it now I still miss you in my sleep do you still hear my voice when I'm not around?

Rebuked not.
The world's greased, watch your step or you might slip and fall off of it, Serpent in the garden where you're walking, show cautiousness And nothing really grows there in the shadow of the Pyramid, Of our plutonomy, But honestly, from the top the image probably isn't that vivid That we're rats in the labyrinth scolded for eating cheese, That we're lepers on our island rebuked for our disease Once a pigeon ascends with doves, all in the name of peace, The thin air is too comfortable, to return him to the streets Hypnotized by a box framed with Rose-Colored glass While The Owl burns bright and The Baphomet laughs

What potions have I drunk of Siren tears, Distilled from limbecks foul as hell within, Applying fears to hopes, and hopes to fears, Still losing when I saw my self to win! What wretched errors hath my heart committed, Whilst it hath thought it self so blessèd never! How have mine eyes out of their spheres been fitted In the distraction of this madding fever! O, benefit of ill, now I find true That better is, by evil still made better; And ruined love, when it is built anew, Grows fairer than at first, more strong, far greater. So I return rebuked to my content, And gain by ills thrice more than I have spent.

Sonnet 119: What Potions Have I Drunk Of Siren Tears
Jesus you asked your disciples: who do people say that I am? There were many different answers. You asked your disciples: who do YOU say that I am? Peter replied "You are Jesus the Christ. The savior." A good answer, but then when you talk about your death and what you must suffer and Peter rebuked you for saying such outrageous things, you scolded him for thinking as we humans do, not as God thinks. Then you said that to lose your your life for Christ and the gospel, you would gain eternal life in heaven, but those who love their lives would lose them. That in order to follow you we must deny ourselves and take up our cross. You said what profit is there to gain the whole world but lose our lives? For what can we give in exchange for the value of our lives? Jesus, who do we say you are? Who are you to us? Forgive us, like Peter, when we get upset with you when bad things happen because we think not as God thinks but as humans think. We don't always see the bigger picture and purpose. When you said "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me" you were saying that we must cast off our old self, old habits and ways. We must carry our burdens (our cross) which create a way to connect to each other and to you. "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the gospel will save it." We must learn how to live selflessly and we must be willing to die to ourselves. If we lose or give up our old life for the sake of replacing it with a life for Jesus and the good news we will have eternal life. You remind us and warn us that the things of this life, their value could never come close to the value of our souls. You remind us not to fall victim to loving the riches of this earthly life more than we ought to love you and being with you forever one day. Finally, you tell us to be unashamed of Christ and the message and to share it with all we meet in a gentle and loving manner. We should not be worried about what others will do or say because it matters not as long as we are doing it with a right heart for you and the gospel. Thank you Lord for being our Savior, help us to die to the old ways that we might truly live with you. Give us the strength and courage to be unashamed of the gospel message and you so that we might bring another heart to you. Amen.

She spat, she swore she fumed on me, This little old lady of seventy three, She called me bad and ugly as sin, She said all this with a comfortable grin, Her contempt for me was clear as day, I asked her why she felt this way, She tore my top and scratched my cheek, Pulled my hair and cried “you freak”, I took all this with no attitude, Her language so vile and manner so rude, I could do nothing but offer love, That was rebuked with a cold shove, Her eyes they burned into my face, As I enveloped her with a warm embrace, She yelled she kicked and punched my chest, I tried to calm her, I did my best, I had to call for the nurse at the end, But a broken heart she could not mend, She helped my mam back into bed, And gave her pills to sooth her head, After a while I recognised again, The mother I love, in no more pain, My father arrived with the moon, They danced together across the room, They didn’t notice me in the chair, But to tell you the truth I didn’t care, I was at ease with their meeting again, I sighed and whispered no more pain, Alzheimer’s is a wicked disease, It’s brought our family to its knees, We watched our mam slipping away, Forgetting her life’s worth every day, It’s only the love that keeps you strong, And the memories of where we belong, Heartbroken now but I feel at rest, Coz I love you mam you are the best.

I have heard this that when Gautam Budhha returned to Yashodhara after realization, she asked him why he left her and went to forest in search of God. Whether Gautam Budhha could have achieved the God even in her company or not? Gautam Budhha could not answer as he knew that God was also present in the presence of Yashodhara also. Hence there was no need to leave Yashodhara. But I have got an answer to question of Yashodhara in another Story. Rinjhai was a Zen Saint. When he went to his Guru and asked how the God could be realized? Guru taught him various methods. For many years Rinjhai practiced those methods, but failed. Being fed up of his practicing various Sadhanas , he again went to his Guru and asked for realization. And Guru said Be the God. And that very moment Rijhai realized the God. There is another story of Guru Nanak. Once upon a time, Guru Nanak was sleeping and his legs were lying towards the direction, where mosque was situated. Having seen this one Man gets angry and rebuked Guru Nanak saying that by putting the legs in the direction, where the mosque is situated, Guru Nanak was undermining the Glory of Allah. Then Guru Nanak requested the man to put his legs in the direction, where Allah was not there. And it was a matter of surprise that in what ever direction, legs of Guru Nanak were kept, Mosque kept on appearing. It proved that Allah was every where. Now let us begin again, Yashodhara asked the question, whether Gautam Budhha could not have achieved the God even in her presence and that going to forest and doing may Sadhana were useless. Similar questions were put to Rinjhai that if in a fraction of  moment, God could have been realized , then what was need for doing Sadhanas for many years. Rinjhai answered that God could have been realized in a fraction of moment, but without doing many Sadhanas and  Practices,  the Mind could not have been broken. Without doing Sadhanas and practices of many years, the futility of doing Sadhanas could not have been realized. And the Story of Guru Nanak establishes that God or Allah is everywhere. All these 3 stories form part of chain. One regarding putting the question regarding futility of various ways for search for God, Another is answer of that and the third one is regarding proof of Allah or God.

Growing up unguided and penniless Torturous upbringing pushing me down A handgun, speculating and rash Gluttony attempts to smother my eyes Wearing the condemnation of men Appropriating the virtues of girls Feasting in the winds of a fandango Weakening under the need for support Emblazoned under the influence of white powder nights Ceilings lights spinning out of control Locked up and discover the stars in strife Sweet seclusion with a Beelzebub for company Crawling through the gutters on all fours to get out Black and white key arias connected Caressing coloraturia platitudes on fire Busting a gut on the walkway to truth Peaceful vigilance a bismillah fraternity Deserted, drowning in civilisation Tanked, yanked and naked Is this Mama Mia    Standing on two feet Rebuked, not loved Rebellion, unshackled Revelations, so, not want to die Reciting bohemian poetry before the bullet strikes high                                                                        Scaramouche....

So lethargic Victim of calumny Ruptured appendix Constantly rebuked On the pursuit of happiness   Receiving flack So pusillanimous Looking for something cathartic   Fight with yourself When your're your own worst enemy Leaving everyone scratching their heads And hanging on every word Smoke 'em if you got 'em First impressions are my worst impressions Bad decisions and fallen angels Pedantic stipulations Derogatory semantics Fight with yourself When your're your own worst enemy Leaving everyone scratching their heads And hanging on every word Smoke 'em if you got 'em Review the glossary Check the index It's a lost cause The cut throat is fighting The masked wrestler on a tugboat They're both wearing Hawaiian shirts Fight with yourself When your're your own worst enemy Leaving everyone scratching their heads And hanging on every word Smoke 'em if you got 'em -Tommy Johnson

there is no silence within you; and still, no place to resonate. amidst a flash of deja vu, how could you form your own escape? chastised tongues are bathed in blood; salt the wounds now, as she weeps. the truth rebuked in sacrifice; what does it mean to truly sleep? the vivid recount, you’ve been here before familiar sounds, foreign allure. do halted hearts liberate souls? is your last breath even your own? dreams dreams of black and gold remnants of arson; smoldered coals. dreams dreams of severed souls lavish closets; empty homes

Then a day came when foreign seed found its place and tainted thy soil As nutrients became scarce I poured more water so the soil became soft as I fought the foreign seed I wept. My flower has rejected the nutrients from my water. I fought till every foreign plant had been removed and rebuked their roots I nurtured and watered my flower It grew stronger and more bold in color I have a new flower in full bloom.

Flower
Trident constellations of bird fleet in air radiant faces of ardent youth screaming yesteryear's cult revolt back in play rights of citizens rebuked by foul plays of government and corrupt politicians persistent provocation of unorthodox Gazing into an empty sky, I sit listening to the laments of the sea predicting the yet to come pestilence and paying no heed to existing famine derailed and deprecated humanity leaving the society in a morbid silence Unknown dialects speak of a phenomenal widespread consternation within the ugly facade and beneath the false amicableness lies an insidious spirit of denial defiance is what you need to survive.

Dismay
Remember Gentlemen: Bad behavior is to be rewarded, not rebuked. The birds are too busy pecking at one another to build a proper prison system! (And in the meantime, their legs remain open). Enjoy yourselves! (While the getting is good).
