  • Focus Feelings

    “When in doubt, you can choose to fight, flee or freeze.”

    ~A YouTube.com video by FLYNN (now deleted).

    What is Cognitive dissonance?

    Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding conflicting ideas simultaneously.


    How can I resolve these feelings?

    Below are three choices that you, my dear reader, could make right now:

    1. Fight — I want to fight back against tyranny and oppression because forces outside myself continue to lie and deceive. I feel angry enough to take up arms against those who are angry, hateful and fearful of others. We are supposed to hate our worst enemies.

    2. Flee — I do not want to hurt anybody or myself because I am a compliant citizen with a good heart and compassionate soul. I feel ashamed to think of taking revenge against those who are provocateurs, shills and disinfo agents. We are supposed to love our worst enemies.

    3. Freeze — I do not want to fight back or run away because I cannot make up my mind. I will stay put in the hopes that the conflicting feelings will go away. Maybe if I play dead and disappear into the background, no on will notice me. We are supposed to remain neutral.

    Remember: Take aim, focus and decide… Your fate is in your hands.

    YOUR RELIGIOUS POETRY

    (Modeled after the Eucharistic Mass)


    1. INTRODUCTORY STUFF

    Just Me

    What is my world but only me?

    Walking upon land,
    just the trees and grass.
    No birds or bee or flowers.
    To lie down and rest.
    Silent but the winds.

    Even the seas,
    just the water and shore.
    No whales or fish or crabs.
    To lie down and rest.
    Silent but the waves.

    Welcome Wanderer!

    Welcome! Oh, ye Wandering_Star!
    Expressing love though near or far
    Good friendships maintained of strangers find
    A simple SMILE of any kind

    Sinful Stuff

    Inviting the clueless to recall their sins and why they are losers.

    I am a winner! Victory is mine!
    I did what’s best for me and not for you.
    I did all you asked of me – a user.

    You are a loser! Victimhood is yours!
    You did what’s best for all and not for me.
    You did all they asked of you – a sinner.

    Which ball is correct – the ping or the pong?
    Am I always right and you always wrong?
    Is bigger better while harder is strong?

    Like a butterfly drawn to tasty sweets,
    she blindly flies into her handler’s shits.
    All the post signs say, ‘Stop and be careful’!

    You can’t stop me now as I fly away!
    No more beating, cheating or coveting.
    The Dark Ones taught me well: ‘You can’t hurt me.’

    Anymore… Now I see a different light.
    That our love doesn’t always conquer all –
    Except the free will to love ourselves more.

    Post Script:

    I will love you no matter what happens.
    [I will love you!]

    I will be with you through faces of death.
    [I will be with you!]

    I will keep you alive though my heart aches.
    [I will keep you!]

    God’s Glory

    God loves to discriminate.
    Egg first then chicken debate
    Fleece white snow or gray slate
    Set her curves against his straight.
    Religious dogmas and state
    Childlike mind to old fart rate
    Nature and nurture create

    God loves to recriminate.
    Breaking the covenant’s crate
    Anger, jealousy and hate
    Idol worship desecrate
    Steal or kill in dire strait
    So hard to find a good date
    Trespass through the pearly gate

    God loves to retaliate.
    Matters by atomic weight
    With hook, line, sinker and bait
    False hope by ‘lying’ and wait
    Communication debate
    Harming nature mutilate
    Free-will commingled with fate

    God loves to reciprocate.
    Concept of the weightless state
    Nothingness in figure eight
    Inward – a quiet sedate
    Thoughtful sounds of plucking trait
    Unity and procreate
    Eternal truths loving mate

    Opening Eyeballs

    Mid-morning nap, a gray filled day
    Cannot get up until they pay
    Feeling bored with nothing to do
    Darkened swirls of purple and blue

    Third eye chakra opening up
    Silent musing measuring cup
    Filling hope with something so new
    Darkened swirls of purple and blue

    Open of eyes upon my brow
    Faith believing opinions sow
    Always comparing selfish view
    Darkened swirls of purple and blue

    Sharing truths neither wrong nor lies
    Try to de-compartmentalize
    Squooshing eyeballs something to chew
    Darkened swirls of purple and blue

    A. CHAOS OF THE WORDS

    Verses

    First Philosophy

    Who is my best friend?
    I have many but only one.
    My teacher is myself.

    How are you my best friend?
    I am always there for you.
    Then you are my tick.

    Why are you my best friend?
    I am always true.
    Verily, I say.

    Bull.

    Singing of Saintly Praises

    Thank you St. Michael and pals abound;
    A mother’s prayer of leaps and bound;
    A sunny boy and his tearful words;
    Thoughts unfurling like flying birds;

    Oh blessed mother and sacred heart;
    Never let us be apart.

    Always learning how to be a man;
    Stand up strong the best he can;
    Always thinking, day and night;
    Love unending, no more fight;

    Oh blessed mother and sacred heart;
    Never let us be apart.

    Remember mother, how she has taught;
    Remember father, how he has wrought;
    By their blood, sweat and tears;
    Faith and hope for many years;

    Oh blessed mother and sacred heart;
    Never let us be apart.

    Second Philosophy

    There are two tests for both sides of this one mirror.
    The tests are designed to show which side is clearer.
    One test teaches the student to internalize;
    while one is for the master to externalize.

    The student asks: ”I need your help. What should I do?”
    The student waited as his anxiety grew.
    The teacher said: ”You have the answers. Why ask me?”
    The student realizes that this is the key.

    The eternal question has been: Which side is correct?
    The path for each one is to unite and connect.

    Hallelujah – Right On!

    Sit at the right hand
    Of the Father by the Sun
    The Holy Spirit
    Blessed be his woman kind
    All done and said, you’re all mine!

    Good News – Trusting in Faith

    Faith is here and there.
    Believe in your own prayer.
    Always be aware.
    Love does not judge or compare.
    Let your fears and hate beware.

    Find a place to start
    And make the most from your chart
    Inside your own heart.
    Think of being a small part.
    Hope to learn of your love art.

    Trust in me and you.
    Rely on our whirled peas view.
    Understand the new.
    Study the old and review.
    Try mixing a different crew.

    Professing Faith

    We believe we’re God, the One and the same.
    We exist alone for this whirled-peas game.
    We believe we’re God, like many others.
    We’re not alone and at peace with brothers.

    I believe I’m God, the One and the same.
    I exist alone in this whirled-whore shame.
    I believe I’m God. And there are others.
    I’m not alone and at war with brothers.

    Analogy of the Faithful

    Faith is like iron.
    Attracts love like a strong magnet
    Silver-white but rusts

    B. CHAOS OF MY EGO

    Revelation of Two Gifts

    What is Truth?

    Truth tickles.

    It makes me laugh.
    It makes me laugh more.
    It is the biggest joke.

    Whatever.

    What is water?

    H2O
    Two parts hydrogen.
    One part oxygen.
    Makes water.

    Refreshing.

    Bearing within a Gift

    A gift of your seed
    from the right hand of Father
    has been well received
    for the sake of our dear Mother.
    Remember to love each other.

    Egoistic Slayer

    I’m here with you and in your hearts.
    I’ll give you more in several parts.
    It is right to create in blessed arts.

    Preface of God’s Light

    You are the Vessel of my Light
    Supplying Love by leaps and bound
    You are my Keeper that won’t lie
    Forever Blocking out the Dark

    I know our worlds will stop this sinning
    Though I’ve cried for You my happy tears
    And when my thought of Love is pending
    My mind will always wish away Your fears

    You are the Vessel of my Light
    Supplying Love by leaps and bound
    You are my Keeper that won’t lie
    Forever Blocking out the Dark

    You must have been my One and Only!
    Because You welcomed my ‘Thank You’!
    And I know that You’re with me again!
    My Love for You is like a dream come true!

    You are the Vessel of my Light
    Supplying Love by leaps and bound
    You are my Keeper that won’t lie
    Forever Blocking out the Dark

    Holy! Hallelujah!

    [Background]
    Hallelujah!
    Hallelujah!
    Holy! Holy!

    Praise to the Fallen

    I :
    Woe to the fallen angel
    whose hopes and dreams went to hell.
    Lonely cries were never heard
    from her dark corner occurred.
    Pressure to bear was too much
    on broken wings, pained to touch.

    II:
    Praise to the fallen angel
    who bade her heartaches farewell.
    One brave soul answered her call
    and rode her to beg and crawl
    destined to be a succor
    and always be the sucker.

    III:
    Welcome! Oh, fallen angel
    into the fiery pit dwell.
    Perish in eternal flame
    where darkened souls writhe in shame.
    Remember her painful seeds
    where bloody salvation feeds.

    Rescue Mission of the Lost Souls

    Rescue them from death
    Secure us from fear’s darkness
    Cure one from hatred
    Shun me from Omega’s sin
    Lone secret and immortal

    With a Will and True Light
    Before the break of dawn’s flight
    Rest of peas a night
    Square sun spins faster with might
    Snip of dead branches of plight

    The Internal Savior

    Religion is an illusion:
    The deceiver of grand delusion.
    It’s mankind’s greatest confusion.

    Within the box of beautified walls, masses congregate.
    With great pomp and veiled circumstances, people celebrate:
    Where heralded angels and saints assemble to jubilate.

    Abba, Allah, Amon-Ra
    Buddha, Krishna, Yeshuah
    Brahma, Shiva, Vaishnah

    Alpha, Omega
    Mazda Ahurah
    Jahweh, Aloha

    Kami, M-wari
    Eng-Kai, Trinity
    Shang-Ti, Deity

    Memorial – Epitaph

    A Microsoft clipart image of a monument with bats against a black background.
    Rest In Peace

    In memory of Fur-Rin-Duh-San!
    Laughed out loud and died from fun!

    Memorial – Elegy

    Always remember come late December
    to think about love and life.
    Remember to pray, each and everyday,
    to overcome your daily strife.

    Invite pure light that never fails
    to cure your lonely heart.
    Never fail to hope but know
    you’re positive works of art!

    You’ve read my words and heard my thoughts:
    Now it’s time to start.
    Share with me your creative soul
    Unless we now must part.

    Hurry anon but still be here
    To know what else is rife
    Unless I shriek or send a howl
    My ghostly voice will ~EEK~ a fife!

    For my Love

    I flushed you back to your watery ways.
    Love is greater than whatever I paid.
    I failed to continue. I was afraid.
    Connection was compatible but a sad haze.
    I could not express my truth. As I gaze
    into the warmth of the sunshine, I prayed.
    The event horizon has become my shade
    against the darkness in the coming days.

    Without your first contact of a fifth kind,
    my thought of being alone has fled away.
    I’d look up to the sky on any gray day
    and found your reality in my mind.
    My thoughts of you were never far behind.
    Your pleasant dreams are where I will convey.
    I won’t wake you up. I had to obey.
    Our true love has been compliantly blind.

    For my Death

    Where are my flowers you cold hearted cad?
    It’s been over two weeks and now I’m mad.
    My heart is broken and I’m feeling sad.
    May I rest in peace and hope you are glad.

    My flowers are missing or may be lost.
    I dreamt of green flowers and white flake frost.
    Please be aware it’s my heart that you cost.
    May I rest in peace; my feelings were tossed.

    Flowers you meant to send have not arrived.
    Your poems for now is what made me thrived.
    My unhappy heart has left me deprived.
    I’m six feet under knowing I survived.

    In Communication with the Angels

    Angel of death and angel of mercy
    show unto my kindred folks the angel of fun.

    Fighting and fun are not the same.
    Finding lost love is not the game.

    There is no blame.
    There is no shame.

    Angle of fun is of the sun
    that warms the planet with its four golden sons.

    In Praise of Flynn

    When you take a fall and remember naught
    No pain or bruises or injury brought
    Remember well I’m thinking of you
    Love from One equals two

    Do not deny me, don’t push me away
    I’m here to protect you just only say
    I love and thank you for what you’ve done
    One day we’ll meet under the sun


    2. SHARING STUFF

    Oh, Lordy!

    Oaths to fulfill: Please do not kill!
    My hopes and dreams of fun time thrill;
    Prayers of faith, belonging to none;
    I promised to God ‘Thy’ will be done.

    On earth is yours and heaven is mine.
    Please help me out! Give me a sign.
    To spread your seeds of love about,
    And bring forth those with shreds of doubt.

    You promised me and assured my trust.
    Abandoned fear, betrayed to dust.
    Test me not, beyond my soul.
    Will you help fulfill my role?

    Signs of Smiles

    I’ll smile
    But only for awhile
    Until I walk that extra mile
    For you

    Goodbye
    Until we meet again
    It’s not fair to let you go
    Dammit!

    Lamb sakes!

    For Lamb’s sake, you’ve got to be kidding: give me a break!
    For Lamb’s sake, you’ve got to be kidding: give me a break!
    For Lamb’s sake, you’ve got to be kidding: give me LIBERTY!

    Communicating

    These thoughts are mine and take away your breath.
    Gladness is for those who listen to my thoughts.

    Whatever you say!

    Angels Communicating

    Be not afraid.
    We have always loved you.
    Don’t feel betrayed.
    We have always been true.
    Angels have prayed.
    To send God’s love anew.

    Angels Sharing

    Image created by moi by combing two clipart images from Microsoft.
    Peace on Earth! Good Will to Y’all!

    Angels are real.
    Yes they are!
    Don’t have to look very far.

    Somehow and everywhere:
    They’re here with you
    or in the air.

    Keep looking
    and maybe you’ll find
    an angel that’s kind
    in me and you.


    3. CONCLUDING STUFF

    Addressing

    I’m here with you and also in thought.
    May you be blessed with what I’ve taught:

    Again.

    Class dismissed

    Don’t go to pieces even though we’re done.
    Do go and serve by having fun:

    Thank you once again.

    Pikachu Peace
