Pagans

This brings to mind
the label
the religious people
gave the ancient civilizations
who worshipped trees with traditions.
Pagans?

Well, perhaps, they were right after all.
Perhaps, they were the ones who knew
that God is not your judge in the sky,

but rather, God is the spirit and the creator
in every rock and tree and creature,
in every sprinkled drop of water,
in the coverings you wear on the outer,
in spring, summer, fall, winter
in the ships that sail over yonder
in the ships that fly over borders
with me and you, and is
me and you.

Break The Shackles

Break the shackles,
the tyrannical bonds of
autocratic moneylenders,
unyielding governors,
who breathe
for collecting taxes
and high interests
to fill their corrupt prosperity pot
in the name of GDP,
we breed
slave masters of money
cloaked in modern feudalism.

Drugged

An "elite" minority

ruling corruptly

prey on your

gullible greed

for

"entitlement"

handouts,

keeping you

dwarfed,

submissive,

drugged

by

illicit feed

and illusions.

I Am Nothing

http://spillwords.com/i-am-nothing/

I am Nothing.
In the Nothing, I became
Something.
But eventually, I will find out
It was all for Nothing.
And in understanding it was Nothing,
I acknowledge that I always was
Everything

Poet, Naked

Poet, naked, 

out of the closet,

baring my darkness

to Prejudice,

like sitting beside a river of

Alligators.

Then True Love Comes

Then True Love Comes

Don't Tell Me The Ending!

Don't tell me the ending! 

That's what a lot of us would say to those who've watched the movie before us. 

"You better not tell me the ending!" No, we wanna be surprised! 

Have you heard that people have been beaten up for daring to shout out the ending to moviegoers lining up in the lobby for the next show?

THE END -- those iconic words that appear on the screen at the end of a movie. Two simple words that symbolize the end of an experience, etch either a satisfaction or distaste in our spirit whenever we get up to leave the theatre. It could be the decisive point of a star rating by any movie critic. 

Very often, a writer would start writing but have a problem ending. I know I did. For years, I would attempt to start a fictional story but I didn't know how to continue it till the end. So, as a result, I haven't become a novelist.

Moviemakers have often had to edit more than one version of a movie for the different world markets that they hope to screen in. Why? Because some endings are deemed unacceptable to certain cultures.

Well, for me, the strong message of how "the end" is so important in one's life started one night, after some beer, whisky and wine at a bar. Someone that I recently befriended, a successful and wise guy my age, took my palm and started looking at it for clues. In case you start guessing, nope, I can assure you that I am not his type. He merely wanted to see if I was a good prospect to be in business with. 

What he said to me got me confused. He told me that I had to trust in someone even if it's risky. "Then True Love Comes." 

At first, I started arguing with him over his statement, but after that, thinking, it slowly sank in. 

That was so hard for me to accept. But that signified the end to a search. 

We all desire, wish, chase and hope for something in our lives. Some people can see their goals very clearly. Some people are still wondering and truly become wandering spirits in this world. But there's no denying that everyone desires for something that could make us happy. Have you ever met someone who said "All I ever want is to be unhappy"? 

I then further discovered a spiritual teacher, Neville Goddard, and listened to an old audio recording of his on YouTube over and over again, "Live In The End." What in the world does that mean? 

Well, it basically reveals to us that our power or failure is to be able to picture what we want in the end -- the end of a week, the end of a forty-year hardship, the end of a desire, the end of a hoping, of a search, of a question. 

Yes, picture the end of that which you wish for -- without any wavering in your belief, without any doubts. Then, miraculously, an invisible, all-knowing energy will "work it backwards" ...then "fast it forward" to get you to that spot that you have pictured as "The End."

Try it and see if it works. If you could have whatever you want, tell yourself what that ending should be. 

The End.

      

A Lone Star -- Spoken Poetry

Sudden inspiration to read this poem "A Lone Star," which is the 1st poem in my very 1st book published, "Then True Love Comes."

So, using my basic home recording & editing skills, I set it to a piece of impromptu composition. Next, is to get inspired by visuals, so that I can turn it into a video clip! So, that's coming up soon...

Meanwhile, hope you can connect with this... :)

To Doubts That Cage My Craze

How do I handle my heart when it comes to him?

How do I handle the break when I think of him?

Will he accept my age, my face,

The norms appropriated by my race?

Doubts that cage my craze,

You may dissolve with my energy jails,

For my fear has been overthrown by rage.

I Am The World Of

Once I was in dire straits
With no money in a city
The world's an unhappy place.
Now I'm in a happy place
With more money from the city,
I am the world of imagined states.

Chopsticks

Who would have thought about Chopsticks,

The laughs when learning to hold two sticks

Finely carved, though could be a handful of tricks,

Who would have known with every sound of its clicks,

Its story, its journey, each rice bowl it digs,

Might have been an idea by a simpleton who seeks

With each passing day, just to survive the weeks,

But instead, an empire it sustained, not with bricks,

But with pillars between our fingers that pick

Grains and meat to fatten our cheeks.

Do You Believe There's Something You're Meant To Do In This World?

Do you believe  there's something you're meant to do or achieve in this world?

Perhaps you've always felt that you were meant to marry and be the best mother to six kids. Or perhaps, you've always wanted to build a home for stray dogs and cats. Or perhaps, you knew you belonged to the sea and long to spend all your time sailing. Or perhaps, you've always wanted to be a man in uniform. Perhaps you knew you were meant to sing. 

Years ago, I would be embarassed to tell anyone that I've always felt that I was meant to leave my mark, my thoughts, my creative and written works ~ my books ~ as my legacy to this world. Who was I to do it? Wouldn't I be a laughing stock? What would I write about? 

Being in the entertainment industry, it would have seem easy enough to achieve that. I was already producing television shows. That would meant I had already achieved doing something for the world to see.

But alas, my works were mainly for local clients, domestic television stations. And to me, they did not qualify as that purposeful message from the core of me that I was to leave to the world, which would touch somebody's heart and influence somebody's life. 

And so, I dragged the time along with my doubtful wishes, year after year, year after year, trying to feel like a significant person before I could think of something to write. In short, I felt like I had to be perfect before I could be that perfect person that the world could look up to. 

Are you like me?

I hope not. 

But if you were, I can tell you, that when you make a decision, you become significant to your dreams, to that tug in your heart, to the message in your soul that you have for someone. Significance is not achieved by waiting for the world's approval. I took a long time to understand it. Because now I understand that nobody else's approval matters except my own. No, not even your boss'. I have fired many. 

We are not in this world to wait for someone to make it happen for us. If you do not believe me, try it. Try waiting for someone to make it happen for you.  

We are each responsible to be the best we can be, and what we truly want to be. The best that we can be stays undefined unless we truly ask ourselves. We are all capable of achieving our dreams, even with the cards we are born with. There are ways. And those are higher ways that may take some time for us to discover. Some of us never discover it. But perhaps, another lifetime is waiting for us to do it again. 

So, if we are born with something to do before this lifetime is over, then wouldn't it be true that we will find that support and the opportunities to make our dreams happen? Think of it as the mission that you came to earth with, for those of you who love sci-fi thrillers. And just like The Matrix' Neo, or  Superman, it just took a little bit longer before you discover your powers.

So think about it now, if you haven't done what you always felt you were meant to do. 

Get ready.
