NO!! The HOLY SPIRIT Is NOT "The RESTRAINER" !!!
A friend asks me, "Why are you so fixated,
so enslaved to this idea that RUSSIA will take
over the world by bombing the USA??"
This guy is so dense that he says the billionaires,
the "globalists" are a worse threat
than the KREMLIN !!
He says the WEF or World Economic Forum is running things !!
THEY are the enemy, NOT the Russians.
I've been conversing with him for like 10 years.
I always thought of him as a human being,
a person.
Now to my surprise I discover he is only a human "organism,"
or " lifeform," NOT a...

Holding Back the Blue Rot !
Holding Back the Blue Rot” [Blue Rot = the Police State]
I am not the bridge, I am the Keystone, the Arch, the Matriarchal form of being.
I am without racism, without Rot and free to stand a protectorate, a dome, the whole, the womb.
My back is no bridge, yet my shoulders are my cornerstones, my devout legs my pillars of foundation.
My skull, the beauty, a keystone of balance and wedged pressure holding the arch of time.
Again without ROT! A void with no haunted racial overtones, having to explain but when, when, when will the pure...

Caribbean Chess not Checkers
The Destination makes all the difference to become
from Pawn to a King in the Caribbean...
The innocent Pawn all have tried to devour me
Touch not God anointed prophet
Pawn forward two spaces 1.e4 to get things started
as many play the game to be king I play different
even when the game has ended
Royalty is still established
only My Queen could play with me and win
No one misses a pawn so I will always be the Game
no matter the rules I will always win...

The Mighty
She looked down upon the river
Watching the current flow by
It was as though time had stopped
She didn't know why
Finally
Listening to the silence
Hanging onto the words it had to say
With a current now running through them both
One always knowing
One always wishing
On the banks of what ever comes after
She realized what had always been true
You see once you let it all go
Well then You are the river too
Watching the current flow by
It was as though time had stopped
She didn't know why
Finally
Listening to the silence
Hanging onto the words it had to say
With a current now running through them both
One always knowing
One always wishing
On the banks of what ever comes after
She realized what had always been true
You see once you let it all go
Well then You are the river too

Kujichagulia Of A Pawn
The pawn,

Disconnected
So many plugs
Very little power
Claiming their thugs
While they cower
Ducking for cover
Rather than stand
Killing their brother
Yet fear policeman
Very little power

While they cower
Ducking for cover

Position of credibility
On uncommon grounds we stood face to face with our desires
Against my judgment we were inseparable & the pattern became habitual
Even in the glass I saw beauty with my vision locked & made the move
Shell shocked by the physical I cared less of the long term affect I seen coming
Split the emotional ties with nothing good to give options were given but limited
No fan of neither you introduce your own choice & I became deaf
In the beginning your words were credible & never questioned
Then you...

COP 27
Big fraternal meeting for the 27th time
This time in Egypt, where 192 countries assemble.
In order for a final Declaration to be made
Every country must agree and sign.
So not much will continue to change
Except the climate.

A Second Reflection (part 2 of 2)
It's been 2 years since I've made my decision.
There's no more anger, hatred, sadness or pain.
I have everything I once lost to get back.
It's time to get my life back on track.
I'm taking back my power you see.
There's no more of you yelling, screaming, or hitting on me.
Walking on eggshells I will no more.
This time I'm walking in front of you, and closing that door.
I will never look back, and wonder if you got better.
I won't wake up tomorrow wondering what I'll do wrong.
It was a pattern I put myself in for far too long.

Reflections (part 1 of2)
It's been 20 years since we made our commitment.
20 years of memories turned to resentment.
I looked into your eyes one day, and knew you've shamed us.
I asked...
And you blamed US.
There's no denying, no lying.
Only anger, hatred, sadness, and pain.
What can I gain?!
Yelling, screaming.
Thoughts racing through my head.
What did I do so wrong?!
My feelings are now nothing but dead...
I'm Numb...
How could you choose such scum?!
I gave you my all, my total devotion.
Thinking about it over and over.
I've lost all...
