"During times of universal deceit,
telling the truth
becomes
a
revolutionary act."

George Orwell
I'm watching the series on-line..."The Truth About Cancer"
It's time the truth be told, and the suffering stopped!
Stop the greed!

Life isn't just
mind over matter

It is
present over past

and

present over future

we hold tight

He who sings
               prays twice.

St. Augustine
Cynthia Jean Jul 2017
may it be singly focused
undivided
seeing only You
as sovereign
to be revered
and worshiped

my only hope
my only source
my strength
my peace
my life

my only expectation

he
comes praying in a whisper
then
the swearing in
the power of God
descending
upending

his prayer trumpets forth
blasting
shouting out
by the power of the Spirit

make way for the man
God has chosen

who can stand against him
if God is for him

beware

if you come against him
you
come
against
God

pray

Aaron, Hur
hold up his arms
let the battle ensue

as long as our prayers
hold up his arms
we will prevail

for awhile
we can thrive
once again.

Trying to feel
to acknowledge me
for it to be
okay
i am valid
today
and always have been...
i've always been waiting
for someone
else
to say
that I'm
okay
i don't need to wait for that
anymore
i have always been
okay
accepted
by God...
He paid the
price
for me to be
okay
how dare anyone think
they are higher
and mightier
than my Creator
how presumptuous
how absurd....

After a visit to my Grandmother's house....after 37 years. Especially seeing her sun parlor again.;I have a previous poem written called " Grandma's Sun Parlor". Such a joyous and healing visit! Very overwhelmingly profound for me.  It was my one place I went to for unconditional love. I cried tears of joy.  The love was still there.

Only ONE RACE
the HUMAN RACE.

The dividers
and conquerors
all trying to convince you
otherwise.

And they are
NEVER
on the frontlines.

They
manipulate
you
stirring up
emotions
hatred.

That people should die
for the mistakes
of the few.

God hates those who stir up strife.

The only
so-called
winners
are the manipulators
the millionaires and billionaires...

those who orchestrate
the mess
who PAY people
TO HATE...

turning them into mercenaries
MERCENARY
HATERS
AND
MURDERERS

and NOT for the reasons
they think.

The ORCHESTRATORS
don't care
ONE WHIT
about the cause

ONLY
about the
POWER and CONTROL
they
HOPE TO GAIN

when they
"HAVE TO"
quell the mess
and put out the fires

Which
THEY CREATED
by
THEIR MANIPULATIONS.

BEWARE
how people
try to use your emotions

for
THEIR GREEDY GAIN

TO CONTROL
YOU.

WE ARE ALL
ONE
RACE

THE HUMAN RACE.

Reach out
try to
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR

YOUR BLOOD IS ALL THE SAME!

WOUNDED

ONE
DROP OF BLOOD

IT'S
ALL THE SAME.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth.. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

It's like a magic formula.  Apply it to any situation, and improvement begins almost immediately.  Think of what the world would be like if we all used this as a guideline--never rude, always kind, patient...We would have heaven on earth.---Debbie Macomber

Oh, we all need a Friend
who will comfort us
unconditional
safe and secure..

Who sees the pain
in our heart
And relates
to despair
Who knows
...and that knowing
is real...

The gaze in His eyes
is not a
glazed over look,
an empty
nodding of the head...

Rather....
a deep well
understanding
your grief, sorrow, pain
your aloneness
and cries of despair...

Seek Him out
everyday
no
empty
impostor
is He..

He's no prozac
numbing consciousness
stealing  
life
away....

But reality is
new life
hope
and  breath

As you
walk with Him
He'll hold your right hand...
Each day
....baby steps
become real...

Ask
for eyesight
to see
the hope
that He offers

And the price
it is right
it is free....
