Heard From Those Purging

There is a mega gap exisiting between,
Those who wish to be seen as being righteous...
And those who exemplify the meaning,
By the ones who attest,
They have witnessed their actions in progress.

Confessions with testaments,
Heard from those purging their self righteousness...
Seem first to offer 'and' suggest,
What they value with a knowing is for others the best.

There is something about one who is humble,
With a doing done without seeking attention.
But becomes discovered by others,
They have gained to benefit from these deeds.
And when those self righteous begin to protest,
It is often disappointment with others they leave.

There is a mega gap exisiting between,
Those who wish to be seen as being righteous...

We can begin to create new goals for ourselves, ends for our days! A new discipline for life will spring into being, a new will and power to live, a new ideal to measure the value of our lives by! … We need a new leader who will teach us that ideal, who by his life will exemplify it and make it a living truth for us — a man who will prove that man's fleeting life in time and space can be noble. We need, above all, to learn again to believe in the possibility of nobility of spirit in ourselves!

It is easier to exemplify values than teach them.

You have given me a great responsibility to stay close to you, to be worthy of you and to exemplify what you are.

There is only one way in which one can endure man's inhumanity to man and that is to try, in one's own life, to exemplify man's humanity to man.

The Mystic

My mind is like an antigravity device and,
I am adherence to a culture;
But, i have an exemplify act of quintessential love for all.
It is a seeming paradox when it is full of diversity!
But, with its spiritual apathy to lift you up high;
However, with easy wear zipper flies! !
And with belt loop in the mystic world of the realms.

Whatever It Is That Has Them Possessed

Your children exemplify,
Some of the most atrocious behavior...
We have ever witnessed.
They are disobedient, obnoxious...
Rude and disrespectful.
And they have no regard for others. Period!

'And...
What are you saying?
My children do not possess leadership qualities? '

No!
That may be true.
However...
Whatever it is that has them possessed,
We are requesting you take them elsewhere...
To allow that possession an outlet to thrive.
But here, their behavior is not condoned.

Oh...

Assured Shall Thee Be

He bestowed upon me His most precious possession;
What follows herein shall be tantamount to a confession-
Blessed am I with an Angel, to walk with and beside me
Whose love, honesty and compassion shall ever guide me!

I shall ne'er be prime, nor worthy of that which I am given;
Alas, you exemplify all that for which I have striven!
Your grace, elegance and beauty-unrivaled, as I may tell-
Mere thought of thee, upon me, casts a mighty spell!

Ne'er have mine eyes been beholden a visage such as your's:
Tis a puissant enchanment that only presence near cures!
Humbled and honored am I, to have with thee, consort:
To adore and cherish thee, the singular choice of retort!

Though separate are we at current, by many a mile;
Assured shall thee be, that you are with me all the while!

Steam-Launches on the Thames

Henley, June 7, 1891.

Shall we, to whom the stream by right belongs,
Who travel silent, save, perchance, for songs;
Whose track's a ripple,--leaves the Thames a lake,
Nor frights the swan--scarce makes the rushes shake;
Who harmonize, exemplify, complete
And vivify a scene already sweet:
Who travel careless on, from lock to lock,
Oblivious that the world contains a clock,
With pace commensurate to our desires,
Propelled by other force than Stygian fire's;
Shall we be driven hence to leave a place
For these, who bring upon our stream disgrace:
The rush, the roar, the stench, the smoke, the steam,
The nightmare striking through our heavenly dream;
The scream as shrill and hateful to the ear
As when a peacock vents his rage and fear;
Which churn to fury all a glassy reach,
And heave rude breakers on a pebbly beach:

Bible in Poetry: Titus 2

Teach according to sound doctrine;
Teach older men to be sound in
Faith, love and immense endurance,
And be worthy of much respect,
And self-control and temperance.

Teach older women to revere,
In ways they live and not slander,
Or drink much wine but teach what’s good;
They ought to train younger women,
To love their husbands and children;
To be self-controlled and be pure;
To love and obey their husbands;
To be busy at home and kind,
So that, no one maligns God’s word.

Teach young men to be self-controlled;
Be good an example to them;
Show integrity, seriousness,
Sound speech that cannot be condemned,
