Dear beautiful evergreen rooted down in the field strongly upholding itself like it has an impenetrable shield The one that has experienced blazing summers and freezing winters not only seen warfare but watched it from the center winds blew it west and east but it never went left or right had blood on its leaves but never got into a fight Dear beautiful evergreen That stands there all yearlong keep your roots rooted and continue to be strong

Beautiful Evergreen
Clothe yourself in the full armor of God and be able to withstand the Devil’s schemes; know that he’s only the father of lies, looking to destroy your earthly dreams. Cover yourself with Christ’s Breastplate of Righteousness and protect your torn heart; your essence has been purchased for His Kingdom, meaning that you’re meant… to be set apart. Gird your waist with the Belt of Truth and stand firm with integrity and honesty;   don’t allow your flesh’s nature to interfere with conditions that you need observe and see. Shod your feet with the Gospel’s peace; keep from searching for earthly trouble; instead congregate with the Body of Christ and focus on your faith becoming redoubled. The ongoing battle is not with flesh and blood; wield Faith’s Shield to quench life’s fiery darts. Remember that the wiles of Satan are limited! So outmaneuver him with your spiritual smarts. Put on your Helmet of Salvation, for the battles are within one’s mind. Allow the Divine knowledge of The Word to resonate with your spirit and find… yourself continually praying in the spirit and with understanding on all occasions. Be alert to His transformational messages, for upholding Godly principles and persuasions. Resist the Devil now and he will flee; endeavor to thwart the enemy’s attack; be strong in the Lord with power of His might; promises of victory have been already stacked. For we don’t wage war with human methods and plans. We use mighty weapons to knock down evil strongholds and breakdown every proud argument that keeps people from knowing God… as His Kingdom, continues to unfold. . . . Author Notes: Loosely based on: Eph 2:2, 6:10-20; 1 Thes 5:5-8; Joel 2:12-13; Rom 4:5; Jam 4:7; 2 Cor 10:3-5 Learn more about me and my poetry at: http://www.amazon.com/Reaching-Towards-His-Unbounded-Glory/dp/1419650513/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1388058560&sr;=1-1&keywords;=reaching+towards+his+unbounded+glory By Joseph J.

burden and responsibility

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.

My spine is broken from the burden of your ungrateful heart, I have shrugged shoulders to the girls who can walk into the kitchen, just to nod my head to the girl who waits to be served on the dining table, I have swam beyond seas just to drown in your heart, I have betrayed my credibility towards the streets I was raised just to follow the path that leads to your happiness, I have chased all of my dogs at the gate so you can visit anytime, you remember when I found you drunk in careless hands at the club? Then I embraced all the shame and welcomed you in my hands, I no longer see the essence of visiting mama every weekend, cause I've always dedicated my time to you, I have lapsed the doctrines of upholding holiness just to sin for you, now all these broken promises, overflowing tears and unpromising future, you have caused all this because you are ungrateful, and before this coffee hits the surface of my cup, ill make sure this love chokes you and see if you are worth it.

Ungrateful Girl
A blood red sunset drips over the black asphalt city skyline somewhere in a lost part of America where the dream has long been dead and buried and hate and fear rule the rural streets that are protected by peace keepers that practice ****** more often than upholding the law It has been declared open season on any crow the color of a starless night sky and the dove has become a symbol of to protect and serve their own kind birds of a feather that cover for one another justice is blinded by the snow covered truth and the color of corruption is coincidentally the same as the color of money the poor have little choice but to trade their bones and their hopes to the corporations of the new land of the free to be owned by and controlled by a minimum wage that only guarantees to keep the poor poor enough   to work another day     and another day       and another day until there bones are nothing but powder and their beds are nothing but coffins for the barely living and life somewhere in a lost part of America at the end of everyday the sky turns red and the color of blood runs through the streets as the doves go along with their business of the murdering of crows

At the basic stage of learning a language comes pairs of most commonly used antonyms, words meaning opposites of each other like the earth and the sky, far away and close by, love and hate, metaphorically speaking even you and me. Except, sky begins right where earth stops, so if you really think about it only the soles of our feet are truly grounded, while our heads have always been in the clouds. Distance is subjective, so depending on how fast a ride is or the resolution of a lens, sunsets and full moons are that much closer than a lover's touch. Love and hate are not two sides of the same coin, or the extreme ends of the same spectrum, but rather the same side of the same coin, exuded by the same people at the same people for the same reasons, interdependent, coexisting, one defining the other. Well, I suppose that leaves you and me. As in it literally leaves you and me out, metaphorically speaking, figuratively speaking, theoretically speaking, you and I aren't antonyms after all because, as it appears we do not define each other or anything in between. Like the ocean and a bumblebee. Here I am calm and blissful with sunlight bouncing off of every wave, dramatic and roaring, heightened with emotions soaring, bearing an infinity of life, continuously giving, nurturing and upholding, but all you want is honey; metaphorically speaking.

Antonyms
Love is rarely ever found, (I found you) Instead, Love is built. (We've built so much) Built with a solid foundation, Built with a design in mind, Built with strong materials, Love is built with hard work. (Sweat and sacrifice) with willingness to sacrifice, to be hurt. Upholding one another at our worsts. (Our hearts are strong enough) Love isn't taken, but grown, (We've grown together) Starting as a seed. Nurtured in the rains and sunlight of life. Roots strong enough not to be uprooted by fiends. (I'll never leave you) Delicate and tenderly, slow and steady. Flourishing branches (We have flourished) upholding the weight of grown love. (We've grown together)

Fauna's Mourning
His eyes were green, his were blue. He was tall, upholding many inches, more than a few. They bonded quickly, grew closer. Neither thought it'd be over. Laughs were shared, and giggles were tossed, tickles roaming the couch, smiles never leaving the mouth. They were open, happy as ever, until Management wouldn't let them be together. They grew apart, fingertips barely brushing, making them feel as if they were nothing. They barely share a glace, because they never get the chance. They can only stare with a dull glow, while the other sings their solo. One lies, one suffers. Both sharing the same fear. Maybe, all of us here, can come together one day, and realize that gay is okay.

I bought myself a gun today. I’ll give you a moment to process the mental paper work. Is he serious? Is this guy for real? Is this a metaphor? Is it loaded? Are these questions you might ask? Isn’t this supposed to be a poem? I said I bought myself a gun today. Do you feel better? Safer? Do I seem more dangerous? Are my words more weighted now-- with violence? with virility? with *********** Are you looking at my crotch for an extra bulge? How do you feel about me now knowing that I’m packing? I bought myself a gun today, And just like that I’m a gangsta upholding the second amendment. I’m a citizen of the constitution holding up my right to bear arms, and raise my hand in a fist-- a fist, that’s gripped in tension a fist that’s an extension of man and invention and I really should mention I can blow your ******* head off without the slightest intention. I bought myself a gun today, Are you scared: that I don’t know how to use it? That it might want to use me? That I might become overwrought with emotions, and respond to an argument “Arnold” style with, an, “I’ll be back?”-- that I might settle things once and for all with my noisy neighbor in a language he might finally understand? Are you scared? I bought myself a gun today. Does that make you worry? You know what the statistics say, That I have a better chance of shooting myself, than some intruder, or mugger, or ****** or therapist even. Are you worried about my self-destruction? that I might I might accidentally have an accident? Or, maybe, you may think, that it might be on purpose? that I might be singing the, “Barrel-in-the-mouth blues?”-- not just fantasizing about ‘em, but singing ‘em with a with my mouth wide open, and feeling them for real for real: feeling the cold steel ‘cross my tongue, choking on the taste of cordite, really singing, “I can’t breathe,” and how much this ***** and having the means to put and end to it all-- Are you worried about that? If you are then don’t, ‘cause I’m not thinking about that at all. I bought myself a gun today. Wouldn’t it be great if we all could say: I bought myself a gun today.

Give me back my sheets! You have stained them... With your neo-nazism. White pride world wide? You are no nativist. Sure Whites are now eight percent of the population, but is race culture? Catholic under those stained sheets? Your diocese's came and made that road to Rome. Albeit subversion of Americanism mutually. And as communism did exactly what we knew, by way of the Black Church and the Synagogue. Have manifested Jewish rites in governance. Made non-miscegenation taboo for Whites systematically. Compromised national sovereignty for a global order. All the while feminists have made the womb an ego for Moloch. You say the Ku Klux **** is unacceptable? They are nil. Yet you romanticize the mafia. Thank you mafia for upholding the unions, gambling and *********** Give me back my sheets! © S. Wesley Mcgranor

Give Me Back My Sheets
MEMO FROM:  Mr Phil Indifrence,  Strategy Chess Insurgency  Corps. Space Headquarters, Castleview Avenue, Dunstable XY10 TO:  Ms Petal  Dontrun,  Crimson Chess Federation. De la Wigan Headquarters, Wigan, United Kingdom,  SM00 Dear Ms Dontrun, Please accept my greetings. I write to clarify my stance on our outstanding matters and hopefully to deter further speculation, gossips, rumours, distortions, misinformation and sensationalism by the media. As you are aware I contacted you on the day as arranged only to be confronted with a response that was astoundingly unethical, un- professional, rude, inconsiderate and totally uncalled-for. It was so below expected standard that it raised doubt about your suit- ability to be seen as a matured adult much less an intelligent being. Still in the reverberations of this seismic occurrence I called again in the hope it was a momentary loss of composure and yet again I was subjected to a deluxe version of the first onslaught. To say I was flabbergasted is putting things mildly, most especially as it was totally unwarranted and underserved. It was obvious you lacked any sense of decorum and had become an affront to common human decency and an embarrassment to your status. In all fairness you did call some weeks later, but it had become apparent that the ethos, protocol and cordiality that my Organi- sation works within may not be relevant to your Organisation, hence my unavailability to your contact. I write to primarily reiterate that my position on this matter and the present status quo is not based on some immature Ego play, stubbornness, power-play or pride, rather it's in all truthfulness it's a belief in upholding standards in ethical considerations. I do not believe that bad manners, ill-considered behaviour, ill-judgement and a lack of sensitivity and good grace are matured and progressive trends to interact cooperatively within. In conclusion, this is my stance on this matter and I hope it helps your understanding. I believe a formal Apology from you and your Organisation is appropriate in this regard and will instigate a return to cordiality between our Organisation. If you however feel this is unnecessary I will respect your decision and the situation will remain unresolved. I thank you for your attention. Regards, Phil Indifrence. C.E.O.

Paratroopers free fall, 'chutes coiled and caught in a grease ball afro curl reaching down perplexed ****** frames. Diligent chortling mimes trapped in handmade indecision cages, tapping a telling tune of tired games played day after day. A right brained boy with a head full of clout miscommunication with a leftist expat from the north to the south. Jostled connections send out fizzling sentences through blown speakers and an overheated circuit - Bored of the excuses whispers the nameless without a reason there isn't a purpose. Shoot an accusing glare past Father Time overlooking treasonous discouraging crimes Open those whale blubber caked eyes to the other side. It's not what this has done to you but what this has done to us. The hitchhiker gave up, traded his thumb for a seat on the bus. Never was he lost, but given more than one chance. He, no, she, no we were thrown away with his walking stick and his waterproof nap sack. Will we cross this road again? And pick up from where we began? Or never turn back? Always was he lost, but given one too many of a chance But was it worth it? Upholding the "right and proper" stance?

Time and Time Again We Run With Our Eyes Closed and Our Mouths Wide Open
The so called Traders: Ignited us with the fire of 'Divide and rule' In those days... Leaving the blood shed riots at the borders till date! The selfish leaders using the same Stirred the minds of innocent, With the notion 'Pratyeka Telangana' Made victims of present Chaos! Is not this rat race for position? If not, pay tribute to Constitution; Upholding Unity in Diversity!

We shall not ask for the precious pearl of the Duke of Sui, nor for the priceless jade disk of Master ** We merely ask for the recent news of our homeland. The Palace of Spiritual Illumination must be still there, surrounded by desolation. What's happened to the stone statues buried deep in the grass, still guarding the Imperial tombs? Is it true that our people left behind in the occupied territories are still planting mulberry trees and hemp? Is it true that the rear guard of the Barbarians only patrols the city walls? This widow's father and grandfather were born in Shantung. Although they never held high office, their fame spread far and wide. I remember when they carried on animated discussions with other scholars by the city gate. The listeners were so crowded that their sweat fell like rain. Their offspring crossed the Yangtze River to the South many years ago. Drifting in the rapids, they mingled with refugees. I send blood-stained tears to the mountains and rivers of home, And sprinkle a cup of earth on East Mountain. I imagine when Your Lordship, His Majesty's envoy, upholding the Imperial spirit, passes through our two capitals, K'ai Feng and Lo Yang, Thousands of people would line the streets and present tea and broth to welcome you.... Announce that the Emperor's heart aches for the suffering people--- they are his own children. Let them understand that the Will of Heaven remembers all living beings. Our sagacious Emperor offers his trust which is as brilliant as the sun. There is no need to negotiate many times after the long chaos of the years.

large mobs, listening from the outside, poking and prodding at our lives, upholding our monkey brains  while manipulating our emotions; everyone tries to fix things for us he actually thought he did

inconsistency
This divided society putting most of us in poverty but can't do nothing 'bout it cause the computer cuts us too neatly Still upholding the divinity of Austrian economic theories when for the last hundred years the rise of the dollars been all about demographics & behavioral science Capital is nothing more than a natural resource I don't care that you got there first The aquifer runs wide please don't poison mine Profit is nothing but an unpaid cost of labor Cause I agreed to a certain pay I must work the rest of my hours as a Wage Slave Yeah, you could say it was consensual but don't have much choice when I got mouths to feed, a checklist of other needs, and no extra dough to risk buying exclusivity rights to plunder a piece of Earth Human Beings: We call ourselves advanced when we never been closer to death   Human Beings: We fear the government while proprietors with most control grab up more Human Beings: I get more joy buying things today than playing with the things I bought yesterday Human Beings: Millennial pessimists, riding out the apocalypse instead of promulgating progress

The Propertied
Palestinian Liberty I hear your cries, I harken to your call, Beautiful children, loving mothers I see you all, Weeping orphans, bereaved parents I share your tears, The bombs fall, panic, chaos I feel your fears. Stay strong children of Palestine, Stay strong oh family of mine, For the day shall surely come, When we will rise up as one. Mutilated corpses, Rivers of blood, Severed limbs lay on your sanctified mud, Upon which prophets and martyrs stood, Pillars of faith, your forebears, upholding all that is good. You gave refuge to your captives in their hour of need, You roots of usurpation, you planted that seed, Graciously breaking bread with the holocaust survivors, It is you who carry the standard of the emancipators, Now it is you who call out for the liberators. Will we laugh or cry at the irony, That only the men of Palestine carry the bravery, That only the women of Palestine bear the humanity, That only the children of Palestine possess the capacity, To sacrifice, to provide liberty.

Palestinian Liberty
From the dark black clouds lightning strikes rusty old iron pike pointing the sky atop a haunted mansion Charge flows into the earth getting dispersed, neutralized sky and clouds rumble in joy, their claps thunder across the valley window panes resonate with laughter I stand in the haunted house like an apparition a Ghost at the window Clouds appear to me as parade of tiny dust people, Mexican wave of charges travelling down vibrating hot plasma to my blind eyes enhancing the beauty of a streak of white on dark black canvas In turn enhancing charging electrochemical excitation at synapse releasing a wave of calcium ions as billions of cells and charges work in harmony to create a single conscious me A vision of future not so bleak dawns before my blind eyes as billions of living conscious living organisms blend in harmony as all the charges resonate upholding inherent diversity we empathize into a single entity earth Clearing the puzzle of evolution from interacting particles and charges to a cell with auxiliary units to multicellular organisms to a single Conscious beings to a single Conscious PLANET
