Bible in Poetry: Galatians 5

Freedom in Christ:

For freedom, Jesus set us free;
For righteous things you stand firmly;
Take not the yoke of slavery!

I, Paul tell you, so, mark my words,
In being circumcised, you don’t,
Allow Christ to be of value.

To every man circumcised then,
He’s bound to obey the whole law;
Although, you’re justified in law,
You are alienated from Christ Lord,
And fallen away from His grace.

By faith, we wait with eagerness
For righteousness, for the Spirit;
Circumcision has no value,
In Jesus Christ without this hope;
The only thing that counts is faith
Expressing itself in love deep.

You were running a mighty race;
Who kept you from obeying truth?
This does not come from Him that calls;
A little yeast softens the dough;
I’m sure you’ll take no other view.

The ones who cause you confusion
Will pay the penalty at last.
If I still preach circumcision,
Why am I persecuted then?
The offence of the cross is void;
Let them who agitate then go
Emasculate themselves for this.

You have been called to stay afree;
Don’t use your freedom in sins’ ways;
Serve one another with true love;
The law in whole is one command:
‘You love your neighbor as yourself.’
If you are fighting amongst you,
You will destroy one another then.

Life by the Spirit:

Live by the Holy Spirit then;
Don’t gratify your sinful thoughts;
For they are contrary to it;

Bible in Poetry: Galatians 6

Doing Good to All:

If one is caught in web of sin,
Restore him gently; be alert;
You yourself may be tempted then,
Although you are more spiritual.

Carry one another’s burdens,
Fulfilling commandment of Christ;
If you think you are someone great,
Although you aren’t, you are deceived;

Each one should test his own actions;
Each one should carry his own load;
Do not compare oneself to next;
Do not nurture pride within you.

The one who receives instruction
In the word, must share all good things
With his instructor with frankness;

You can’t mock at the Creator;
Whatev’r a man sows, he will reap;
If you please your sinful nature,
Destruction will come from the same;
He who sows to please the Spirit,
Will get eternal life from it.

In doing good, don’t be wearied;
We’ll reap a harvest at right time;
Whenev’r you get the chance, do good
To all, more so to believers.

Not circumcision but New Creation:

I write in my own hand to you,
In large letters:

Those who want to impress others,
Compel you to be circumcised;
This is to just avoid being
Persecuted for Jesus Christ;
The circumcised obey not law
Yet, want you to be circumcised,
So as to boast about your flesh.

May I boast never except in
The cross of Christ through which the world,
And I have been crucified;
Circumcision means nothing yet.

Bible in Poetry: Gospel of St. John (Chapter 7)

So, Jesus moved to Galilee;
He did not go to Judea,
As Jews had planned to kill Him fast.
With feast of Tabernacles near,
His brothers asked Jesus to leave
To Judea, so that other
Disciples saw the works, He did.
A secret person can’t be known;
You have to manifest to world.
His brothers did not believe Him.

But Jesus said, ‘My time hasn’t come
Yet, time is always right for you.’
‘The world cannot hate you but they
Hate me as I expose evils; .
You go for Feast; I will not go
Because my time hasn’t come as yet! ’
So, Jesus stayed at Galilee.

When brothers left, then Jesus went
To Judea but in secret.
The Jews were searching for Jesus,
Amidst the Feast by asking all;
The crowds did speak about Jesus;
Some said he was a good person;
Some others felt, he misled crowds.
Afraid of Jews, no one dared speak.

When Jewish Feast was half-over,
Jesus entered Temple to teach;
His knowledge of scripture was fine
Astonishing the Jews right there;
‘How does he know although unread? ’
They asked and Jesus answered them,
‘My teaching’s from Him who sent me.’
Whoev’r did choose to do His will,
Will know my teaching comes from God,
And doesn’t originate from me1’

‘If one then speaks on own, he seeks
His glory own; but whoev’r speaks
The glory of the one who sent
Is truthful and infallible.
Did Moses not give you the law?
Yet, none of you does keep the same;
Why do you try to kill me thus? ’

The crowd replied, ‘You are possessed.
Who is trying to kill you, say? ’
And Jesus said, ‘I did one work

Women tend to give political candidates only about 10 percent of what males give, and males give women candidates only 10 percent of what they give to males.

Candidates

Candidates, can, dates, it, is, at, as, did, sand, and, sea, den;
And like the love of your sweet muse!
But we are all living together on this earth,
And like the showers of the blessings of the rain.

Candidates, sate, eat, sat, ate, diet, sit, dies, cans, scan, add;
And like the windows of love opened to you!
But with the very act of your love to share with,
For the days of your acts are numbered with care.

Politically incorrect, so what for M'lady Ernestine

When interviewing candidates
Because you’re trying to be fair.
You sometimes over compensate.
Although completely unaware.

You are discriminating for.
What you’re against instinctively.
Your methods have proved right before
You aren’t obliged to be P.C.

That you should feel you ought to be
completely free of all bias
To me is sheer stupidity.
Just pause a while and it will pass.

The candidates well qualified
So let your prejudice decide
Do as you’ve always done before
and choose the furthest from the door.

What does it matter how you choose.
It is entirely up to you
how you conduct your interviews.
You can do what you want to do.

Your methods may not be PC.
But they have stood the test of time.
By choosing almost randomly
You are not guilty of a crime.

That you are prejudiced is true
A simple fact you can’t deny.
But by selecting as you do
You’ll get it right quite possibly.

SUBJECTS NOT MENTIONED Mar 31st,2011

Why is dying with dignity hidden as an election subject?
By the people we are compelled to elect and can’t suspect,
Why is binding referendums never mentioned out there?
I can see you now looking around saying, “What and Where? ”

Because these subjects are kept hidden by the Ottawa elites,
They want to keep their parliamentary or Senate seats,
No proportional representation instead of first-past-the-post,
Because when three candidates ran, guess who got the most?

The opposition candidates together got more votes,
Therefore more people opposed the winner’s winning quotes,
So much for democracy when the looser is allowed to win,
And proportional representation is considered a major sin.

Teflon, Botox, Faked Smiles And Debates

These debates between candidates,
Running for elective office to be voted in...
To run for president are becoming sporting events,
These days.

And in the future they will be held in stadiums.
With fees to charge at exorbitant rates.
As more teflon is used to spray...
To ensure nothing sticks and quickly slips away.

While supporters have their faked smiles held in place,
Injected by doses of botox.
That guarantees no one can decide who is qualified.
Whether to impress with image or not.

'Where are the candidates now?
Are they preparing? '

~Well...
One has requested an additional layer of teflon,
To ensure his performance gets the expected response.
And the other is grateful to have another week...
To allow many coats to dry,
Before several more are sprayed on repeatedly.

And those who represent false agendas to present,
To advocate and voice their deceptive opposing views...
Have used up all the botox to appear everyday,
With attempts to sway the public...
As they give updates on the evening news.~

'It seems the future is near and soon to arrive.'

~How important are these debates? ~

'That depends on how you place your bets.
But the clear winners will be...
The tax collectors and the cost of living.
The rich and those who will pocket your fees.
Which of these picks will be to your benefit? '

Well it's a drastic procedure by your standards and mine, but for the people who are living in desperation perhaps the best way to understand it is that it seems no more drastic to them than circumcision.

Ellirie

The sign of the blood,
The first time;
The love of your muse,
The first time;
But, if it is shining all day long, let it shine,

Money for the circumcision,
Honey for the eater,
Pony for the rider,
Donkey for the traveller,
Monkey for the zoo;
But let the sun dry up my clothes!
For Ellirie is my name and,
I am here to share my sweet love with you.

Truth Of Space

This limpid truth is yours to face,
To volunteer and steer into space.
The medley of stars surrounds our vision,
Interwoven, installed and in circumcision.
The fading of the suns is like the stars,
Abolishing the inner cities created bazaars.
The trade between them is among them,
Shall nature of the galaxy condemn?

The Cut

Proponents
of ritual circumcision
dress it up
as a health or religious issue
instead of the penile mutilation of boys
an issue of child abuse
as is the genital mutilation of girls.

Revival

So whats with your kind
You scavenge to find
What makes you supreme in design
Accuse you cause they had the fun
So differently divine
When my mind goes override
Its so typical to capture anonymity
I choose the crowd to divide
Chorus:
So you see I try
I cannot ever displace
You see Im jaded at times
From nowhere leaving this place
So you see me die
Right in front of your face
You see Im jaded at times
From nowhere leaving this place
They made us with a tool
Then they taught us how to live
We met the candyman
He filled us with his contraband
Then they scared us all away
Chorus
While youre visiting your bubble of reality
Salivating at the sound of the bells
Ill be seducing you through your confession
Theyve been the ones youve known forever
Someones been lied to
With all the rage
Caught us dismal at times
Weve known forever
Youve been denied of supervision
Just a test tube life away
How could you make believe
That weve grown through circumcision
When its right here next to me
Friendships change to time
Theyd never let us leave
You took your time
So too late
Missing what youve never had
Ill be the only one that knows
Just how weve been abused

Canto the Fifth

I
When amatory poets sing their loves
In liquid lines mellifluously bland,
And pair their rhymes as Venus yokes her doves,
They little think what mischief is in hand;
The greater their success the worse it proves,
As Ovid's verse may give to understand;
Even Petrarch's self, if judged with due severity,
Is the Platonic pimp of all posterity.

II
I therefore do denounce all amorous writing,
Except in such a way as not to attract;
Plain -- simple -- short, and by no means inviting,
But with a moral to each error tack'd,
Form'd rather for instructing than delighting,
And with all passions in their turn attack'd;
Now, if my Pegasus should not be shod ill,
This poem will become a moral model.

III
The European with the Asian shore
Sprinkled with palaces; the ocean stream
Here and there studded with a seventy-four;
Sophia's cupola with golden gleam;
The cypress groves; Olympus high and hoar;
The twelve isles, and the more than I could dream,
Far less describe, present the very view
Which charm'd the charming Mary Montagu.

IV
I have a passion for the name of "Mary,"
For once it was a magic sound to me;
And still it half calls up the realms of fairy,
Where I beheld what never was to be;
All feelings changed, but this was last to vary,
A spell from which even yet I am not quite free:
But I grow sad -- and let a tale grow cold,
Which must not be pathetically told.

V
The wind swept down the Euxine, and the wave
Broke foaming o'er the blue Symplegades;
'T is a grand sight from off the Giant's Grave
To watch the progress of those rolling seas
Between the Bosphorus, as they lash and lave
Europe and Asia, you being quite at ease;
There's not a sea the passenger e'er pukes in,
Turns up more dangerous breakers than the Euxine.

Freedom Time

[Singing Chorus]
Everybody knows that they've guilty
Everybody knows that they've lied
Everybody knows that they've guilty
Resting on their conscience eating their inside
It's freedom, said it's freedom time now
It's freedom, said it's freedom time now
Time to get free, oh give us (?)
It's freedom, said it's freedom time
[First and only verse]
Yo, there's a war in the mind, over territory
For the dominion
Who will dominate the opinion
Skisms and isms, keepin' us in forms of religion
Conformin' our vision
To the world churches decision
Trapped in a section
Submitted to commiting election
Moral infection
Epedemic lies and deception
Insurrection
Of the highest possible order
Destortin' our tape recorders
From here and like under water
Beyond the borders
Fond of sin and disorder
Bound by the strategy
It's systematic deprivaty
Heavy as gravity
Head first in the cavity
Without a bottom
A faith, worse than Saddam
Once got him
Drunk of the spirits
Truth comes, we can't hear it
When you've been, programmed to fear it
I had a vision
I was fallin' in indescision
Apollin', callin' religion
Some program on television
How can, dime and the wisdom
Be recognized in the system
Of Anti-Christ, the majority rules
Intelligent fools
PhD's in illusion
Masters of massconfusion
Bacholors in past illusion
Now who you choosin'
The head, the tail
The bloodshed of male

Bible in Poetry: Titus 1

God’s servant and Apostle, Paul
Of Jesus Christ for God’s elect,
Whose faith and knowledge of the truth,
Has led to hope and godliness,
Of life eternal, not God’s lie,
God-promised from time’s beginning,
And in His season brought the word,
To light by preaching giv’n to me,
By God’s command, our savior:

To Titus in our common faith,
My true son, grace and peace descend
From God, the Father and Jesus.

Titus’ Task on Crete:

I left you just in Crete because
You would then straighten what was left
Unfinished, and appoint elders
In every town as I told you.

An elder must be so blameless;
Husband to just one wife only,
With children who believe the Lord,
Aren’t wild and disobedient.

As overseer of God’s work, then,
He must not be over-bearing
Nor quick-tempered nor use spirits
Or violence for unfair gain;
He must be hospitable then.

A person who loves what is good,
Self-controlled, upright and holy,
Disciplined and must be quite firm
To genuine message as he’s taught,
And encourage others truly
By sound doctrine and refute those
Who oppose it, through God’s wisdom.

There are rebellious people,
Mere talkers and great deceivers,
Among the circumcision group;
They ought to be silenced or they
Would ruin whole house-holds on earth,
By teaching things, they ought not to,
And for sake of dishonest gain;

One of their prophets has said thus:
‘Cretans are always evil brutes,

Bible in Poetry: 1 Corinthians 7

Marriage:

1’Tis good for man, not to marry.
2 With so much immorality,
Each man should have his own, one wife,
And each woman, own, one husband.
3 The husband should fulfill to wife,
His marital duty always;
And likewise, wife to her husband.
4 Wife's body doesn’t belong to her
Alone, but to her husband too.
In the same way, husband's body
Does not belong to him alone
But also to his wife as well.
5 Do not deprive each other then,
Except by mutual consent and
For just sometime, so that you may
Devote yourselves to some prayer.
Then come again together for
As Satan will not tempt you for
Your lack of self-control in life.
6 I say this as a concession,
And this is not a command then.
7 I wish all men were as I am.
Each man has his own gift from God;
One has this gift, another, that.
8 Now to unmarried and widows:
’Tis good to stay unmarried too.
9 If they can’t control themselves then,
’Tis better they should get married
Than, burn with passion in your life.
10 Lord’s command to the married ones:
A wife must not separate from husband.
11 But if she does, she must stay unmarried,
Or else be reconciled to her husband.
A husband mustn’t divorce his wife.

12 To rest I say (I, not the Lord) :

If any brother has a wife,
Who isn’t a believer but then,
She is willing to live with him,
He must not divorce her, as yet.
13 And if a woman has husband,
Who isn’t a believer as yet,
But is willing to live with her,
She must not divorce him as well.
14 For the unbelieving husband
Has been sanctified through his wife,
And the unbelieving wife too,
