Nice Nasty
such a practiced game

the ultimate goal:
to drive victims insane

with words pleasant
beginning

then ending inane.

Of what benefit
to the Giver make?

Strips this one
of dignity
and class

demonstrates
their anger

as they speak
insults

brass

revealing envy
and a lack of confidence
within;

Crass.

No sense of their
true purpose

when all time
is spent

perfecting
witty meanness

causing others
to defend

against bullying
tactics

though

pretending
to befriend.

Is this the way to love
and hatred end?

Religious Freedom or Human Rights

Religious Freedom or Human Rights

by Seah Greenhorn

(poem with copyright)

Sadly,

this should not a question be:
human rights and ethics to supersede

religious edicts not conforming
to human values and country laws adorning

citizens in every land?

Especially,
since the Declaration of Human Rights dispenses this statement:

“All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.
They are endowed with reason and conscience
and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood."

As the eagle projects then flies
higher than the naked eye to spy his flight
regal with majesty and pure delight

is the plight of imperfect man.

The vision is awesome,
even beautiful.

It touches the heart of loving souls.

Yet, this dream to behold
disappears. The destination

elusive

in a world grown cold.

Should not religion provide the key
to freedoms and rights?

Yes, liberty!

Depending upon which sovereignty
the leaders preach.

Not all gods are equal in the least degree.

So,

to go to battle to demand
equality; to take a stand legally

Is an individual's right to fight for.

A privilege to humanity.

But, in the end...
when under the subjection of greed and power

do we really believe that true justice will stand?

It will stand!

Unification of races and nations has already begun!

In the past, began
when individuals started within themselves
to practice love

and encouraged others to do the same.

This start became the basis or foundation for the future claim:

An end to violence and hatred!
An end to war!

An end to wicked spirits controlling the world and making us sorely need to pray:

"Please end our suffering!
Inequality... no more!"

Yes, soon will arrive that blessed day
when righteousness will then hold sway.

Until that time we keep
at personal bay

any and all
who human rights do slay.

Do not let anger have its way.
Keep peace and pursue it!

Lay down animosity and bury it!

Let a King
selected
clear the earth

of this total chaos
and complete
disarray.

The battle is Christ's
and The Almighty's.

They alone have the power
to end all injustices

and establish

True Peace and Security

to

Eternally
Stay.

In Today's world.....should human rights and ethics supersede religious edicts that do not conform to human values and laws of a country?

Sleep In Peace

Sleep In Peace

by Seah Greenhorn 

( Poem with copyright ) 

Maybe not

as a Madagascan sunset

day-flying moth,

but like a beautiful robin moth

or even a dull colored grease moth

drawn to flames

we question "why"

about the same:

Life then death?

Why brought into this game?

British historian Arnold Toynbee wrote

as We in united consent quote:

"FROM the moment of birth

there is the constant possibility

that a human being may die

at any moment.”

This thought brings us no glee or joyful mirth!

Added he: “And inevitably

this possibility

is going to become

an accomplished fact.”

In this past century

alone,

about 100, 000, 000 people in wars died

as tragic acts, 'including millions of innocent

men, women, and children'

making us anew sadly cry out:

"Why?"

"If a man dies,

can he live again?

I will wait all the days

of my compulsory service

Until

my relief comes.

You will call, and I will answer you.

You will long for the work of your hands"

said Job, under utmost suffering

detailing the desire of the Creator to bring

dead ones back to life.

Reversing Adam's unforgivable sin.

Further promising:

"And the last enemy,

death,

is to be brought to nothing."

Just think what this means!

No more graves or funerals.
Just endless life and joyful blessings!

"In this mountain he will do away with the shroud

that is enveloping all the peoples

and the covering that is woven

over all the nations.

(groaning and moaning aloud)

He will swallow up death forever,

And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah

will wipe away the tears from all faces.

The reproach of his people

he will take away from all the earth,

For Jehovah himself has spoken it."

All the races, obedient and loyal,

will everlastingly benefit.

Until that time

when He calls their name

Sleep in peace, you victims,

as you feel no shame.

The Only Remedy!
