GOD’S HOUR

I CANNOT HOLD TIME
FOR I AM,
PASSING THROUGH
GOD HOLDS THE HOUR
I AM WAITING
TO HEAR HIS CALL.
BIRTH WAS THE SOUND
WHEN DEATH,
MADE THE CALL.

STUDIES SHOW
IF MAN WOULD NOT
SCREW UP
HE WOULD
GET IT RIGHT.

THE WORLD IS CRYING
WHEN IT COMMITS
TO ALL CONFLICT
IT WASHES ITS HAND
AS TO CLEANSE ITS LIFE
WHILE ALL OTHERS
PAY THE PRICE
WE CRUCIFY OUR GOD
NOW WE ARE CRUCIFYING
OUR LIVES

LIFE IS NOT YOUR ADVERSARY FAILURE IS

Uploaded by EDGAR ALLAN Prieto on Jan 15, 2012

LIFE IS NOT YOUR ADVERSARY FAILURE IS


Opponents

If Success and Failure
Are Opponents

Then Defeat
is the Referee

When Neither
one is Successful

Then Defeat
takes this Round.

I could not Fail,
I could not Lose

Oh! the cries
I've Heard
When Ego Boasted.

I could have Won,
Arrogance Hailed.

I am Fighting air.

Win, Lose, or Draw,
It is not
the smartest Bet.

When Defeat
Is Staring
you in the face.

Mirroring
your every move.

He will surely
take you down.

Round one is not over.

Punches are thrown.
From all Directions.

Bob and weave,
Will let you stay in.

Keep on Fighting,
To the end.

Will!

Will last as long as you.

Life is not
the one to fight.

All the wrongs
that are not right.

Will!

Will help you
in your plight.

Wrong is your
Greatest Opponent.

You must fight.

Love will soften
when it can




Those bruises
will show
Now and then.

God can mend
What man has done.

Round two

Life goes on.
It is hard to fight.
All lifelong.
What can I say?
Try to Win
There are still rounds
to be Won.

Now count.
To the ends,
You will know
your wear.

You've faced it all,
And shown the best.

What more is left
Then to see
it all through?

You stood your ground
In spite of failures.

Now
you can call yourself

A Champ.

God is in your corner
He will keep you
in the round.

Remember!

You always
have a prayer.

Say it now.
For it may be
your last round....

A POET'S NOTE

Success and I
Are very old friends
It is failure
I do not want to see again...

Defeat,
Keeps me in the rounds
I have to fight both.
To win this round.
Success and Failure
Are my lifelong mates
I have to deal with them
Round by Round
It is never over
As long as I'm around....

A Poeatreeman

"When the Trumpets Blow"
WHEN THE TRUMPETS BLOW****
Revisit once again
You will better understand.
Defeat is not your friend.
It is the Opponent
That will fight you
To the end..

A WISE OLD BIRD

You did not get Wise
Because you are Older
You got Older
because you're Wise

We all exist

A Wise Old Owl
is not in a tree
Not if He is Wise
to what He sees

He may
Hoot and Holler
If He is Wise
He would be Quiet

Take what is in the View

Know
When and not to Speak
Know
Who Perches Beside you

It is one Thing
To Get Under your Feathers
Another Thing to Lose Them

If I am Wise
to What is There
I will Keep what I Have
And Grow with Life

Maybe one day

I will be
a Wise Old Bird

If I do not Ask
too much
Only Expect to Glide
For it is Not
Easy Being Here

Through Wisdom
I Can Learn
I am better
For I have a Chance
to Grow my Feathers

Hoot and Holler if I Want
What Bird am I
That is Wise Enough?

I am Still in a Puzzle

Trying

To Find where I am
Supposed to Be

A Wise Old Owl
Once said to Me

Learn your ABCs

Then Start with Wisdom
to See What is Me.

CHAD! YOU SWUNG THE VOTE

I Voted
For Chad
I Was
Bushed

I Tried
To Vote
Gored
My Finger

I Could
Not Find
The Punch
I Made

I Guess
I Left It
In My Hand

Now
I Know
Where
My Vote
Went

I Made
My
Impression
When
I Voted
For Chad

The Only
Problem
He Dropped
To The Floor

He
Was
So Impressed
That I Cast
My Vote

Now
They’re
Picking
Him Up
Off The
Floor

Not
Counting
On Him
Anymore

He
Took
A Position
Only He
Would Make

To Stand
On His Ground
Firmly In Place

There
Were Many
Chad’s
Left In
The Race

Others
Were
In A Family
Way

Waiting
For Dimple
To See
Them Through

He
Was
Not Open
To The View

Counting
On Him
To Come
On Out

He
Was
Last To Know

He
Landed
Far
Behind
The Race

After
All Of This,
He Was
Bushed
And Gored

Who
Would Want
To Do It Again?

To Cast
Your Vote
Be
Counted More?

The
Winner!
Who Else

Who
Is Pushing
For More

Bush
Wins
I get Gored.

Dedicated To Chad 2000 Race
What a Dimple!

THE COMMON TOUCH
[FRIENDS4EVER]


THE COMMON TOUCH

I HAVE BEEN WITH
KINGS, PRINCES, PRESIDENTS,

THE COMMON MAN

WE ARE ALL THE SAME

THE ONLY STATUE

IS WHERE WE STAND

REMOVE ALL VEILS

WE WILL SEE
WE ARE ALL THE SAME

I'D RATHER KEEP

MY COMMON TOUCH

THEN I CAN SPEAK

TO ALL MAN.

DEDICATED TO

mustafa alnagar3:52 PM
Hope that your health recovers. We are taught never to give up and that every ailment has a cure. It is unlikely to meet your friend and even if I met a Saudi prince I would not know, for most of them behave like ordinary decent Saudis.?

MAYBE ONE DAY YOU WILL
REMEMBER JESUS HE IS A PRINCE OF MEN
BE YOURSELF, AND YOU'LL BE FRIENDS.

THE VP PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE
[VPDEBATE]



THERE WAS NO WINNER.

FOR THE AMERICA PEOPLE
LOST.

TRUTH WAS NOT
THE SOURCE.

PLANS WERE SPOKEN
YET NOT RESOURCE.

THE COURSE SHOWN
MORE OF NOTHING.

WHAT PATH WILL I TAKE
TO PLAN TODAY?

I’D GUESS
I HAVE TO WALK ANOTHER WAY.
