"FOLLOW ME!"

"#FOLLOW ME!"

by Seah Greenhorn

(Poem with copyright)

If

a

Charismatic

or not

Someone

were to
YOU

Say:

"FOLLOW

ME!"

Would
your heart
Mellow;

your knees
Falter;

your blood
Alter--

Stream

Raging
or
Trickle
in a trail

Behind
Their
Line,

in 
Sincerity?

Should

We

at least

Examine
To See

This One's

Motivations,
Desires,

Who

THEM

Inspires

To Succeed.

Are their mentor's
Goals
VALID
or
Superficial
and
Hollow?

For really

Who

Leads

He or She
Is actually

Who We'll Follow,

If

We
Agree.

So

Before

Giving our

Soul

Promptly

Away

TODAY

We 
Must
Ask
Ourselves

Seriously:

"Is 
This
One

REALLY

the

"BEST"

ONE

To
Lead

THE WAY?"

What will

My End

Be

ACCEPTING

This
One's:

"FOLLOW
ME"?

This is our

RIGHT!

Don't
just

Hand it Over

For

Inconsequential

Payment
or
Play.

My Prayer (For My Enemy)

My Prayer
(For My Enemy)

by Seah Greenhorn
(Poem with copyright)

I
Received
You,

Cupped
both

heart and soul
around your

Being

as

Cafe moca,
Green tea--

Soothing,

A friend.

Though,
in time

I
soon

Tasted

Grains,

both
Burnt and Bitter

Causing

Agitation
Brewing

Discontent.

An
Enemy
now

Within.

For
envy, jealously, contention
and strife

Kills

Goodness, Patience and Love,

Kindness, Joy, and Peace.

Binds Mildness
in a choke hold;

While loosing
Self-control.

Smothers
Faith,

Which again
Leads
to

NO
"ETERNAL LIFE."

Whether

Housed

in homes
of crony or family,

living
Comfortably

In a Body

of our own,

Pray
"Remove this Enemy
to our Serenity"--

The works of flesh.

Let
Unity
Be our Goal.

To
Belong

Peacefully

PRAISING

Our Creator

for all

ETERNITY.

PRAY
for our first real enemy

to be
Bound!

Then
eventually

he and his
divisive
hateful

Subjects

permanently
and
Joyfully

Eternally

GONE!

Let this prayer

All
Earth

RESOUND!

Wicked Queen Athaliah...Royal Narcissis of Old

Wicked Queen Athaliah...Royal Narcissis of Old

by Seah Greenhorn

(Poem with copyright)

Extreme Arrogance

Like Toxic Rain

from

heavens

fell

from

Mother Jezebel,

An unholy terror,

to

Daughter Athaliah--
who also

knelt knee
to Baal.

(A Red River of DNA

coursing through

channels

Crooked

overflowing

Ridiculously well.)

Wicked Queen Athaliah

preferred,

Progeny
to slaughter

as country chickens

or 

cackling hens,

Of course you heard,

Her Grandsons,

almost

All of them,

Her Own bloodline

Drained

for

Power of Helm.

Manipulate.

Control.

This self made 

Idol,

Narcissis--

Shameful!

A 

Distorted

Vase

To be Shelved.

Since

Contains

No Love to Dispense.

No Glory to Extend.

Warm-hearted Souls,
thought she,

Sins
to
End.

A

Brotherhood

International

NO GOAL TO DEFEND.

'Weak'

'Cowardly'

Called those

Not in 'Bow'

at her self-proclaimed

Hour.

To this

Fragile

idol

Expected:

All

Supposed

'Inferiors'

Should cower.

Yet, this vessel--

Mortal,

Shall

themself

Crouch in a coulee

Until 

Dead,

Unless she Stops

Stripping

Necessary

Nutured

Loving

Relationships

to

Shreds.

For

Obsessive

Love of Self--

Idolatry,

Is a

RIVER

BEING

BLED.

We Still Can't Redeem You Brother

We Still Can't #Redeem You #Brother

by Seah Greenhorn

(Poem with copyright)

Our eyes
cried for you!

Our minds, hearts, hands
joined

tried for you!

Our souls
passionately

died for you!

Yet,

We still can't
redeem you,
brother.

*

No man or woman imperfect
No king or queen humane

No pure/impure
simple
pauper

Can not
You

even redeem.

No words in earthly wisdom
spoken

No wealth of only one person
or of nations all

No present or ancient cure

can even redeem
our brother--

though

we lift him
when he crawls.

Our varied words
our noble actions--

unerring?

Never
enough will prove to be.

Our individual lives
decaying daily

can only
save

temporarily.

Our money
devalued in diversity

can not equal
the life
of any
human seed.

*

Stephen
Paul
John the Baptizer

Polycarp
even Socrates

Joan of Arc
Mohandas Gandhi

Martin Luther
King Jr.

Nelson Mandela--

at one point
thought
martyred too!

Truth seekers.
Great striders.

History
they shook.

Kept open our eyes
to dilemma's--

External;

Revolutionized

the world's
ideas in general,

and in the end

their
lives

they forsook.

Either

shot
stoned
poisoned

pinned

then burned at stake;

ashes
tossed
to diverse
rivers.

By whatever means--

enemies

closed their eyes,

in their
death,

after, all rights were amended;

Unfortunately,
their efforts

doomed.

*

In our basic
anxious
struggles,

Sometimes the past

we're
bound
too

forget,

as treachery increases
as morality decreases

more abundantly

we're forced
to accept

a

simple

humbling

fact

THAT

We still can't
redeem
you,

Brother.

Based on: Romans 5:12; 6:23; Psalm 51:5; 49:6-9.
The gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.—Rom. 6:23.
As Adam’s descendants, we inherited sin and death. (Rom. 5:12) No imperfect human can give God a ransom for his life or that of others. (Ps. 49:6-9) By his death, however, Jesus paid the only acceptable ransom price—his perfect body and shed blood. By presenting to God the value of the ransom, Jesus made it possible for us to be delivered from sin and death and to receive the gift of eternal life. (1 Cor. 15:21, 22) The ransom provision proves that God loves the world of mankind. (John 3:16) Jesus’ sacrifice is evidence that he too loves us. Why, during his prehuman existence as God’s “master worker,” Jesus “was especially fond of the sons of men”! (Prov. 8:30, 31) Gratitude to God and his Son should move us to be present at the commemoration of Jesus’ death, thus obeying the command: “Keep doing this in remembrance of me.”—1 Cor. 11:24. w15 1/15 2:4, 5
