WHEN I WAS HUNGRY

~ FOR I WAS HUNGRY ~

--- MATTHEW 25 : 35 – 40 ---

A POET'S REVERBATION

FOR I WAS HUNGRY

EXPERENCING THE STRAVATION OF MY SOUL

THE DRY RIVER BEDS ~ MY SPIRITUAL BONES GONE COLD

FOUND MYSELF PANHANDLING FOR CRUMBS OF LAUGHTER

AND MOMENTS THAT WOULD GIVE BIRTH TO SMILES

I WAS BEGGING AIMLESSLY

FOR DIRTY COINS TO BECOME GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES OF ENCOURAGEMENT

AND THE TEARS OF A CHILD WHO IS NOW GROWN

SEEKING GOD'S SPEAKING IN EVERY PASSER-BY

AND THERE IN THE STORMY WEATHER OF MY LIVING

ARRIVED

A GROCEROR, A BAKER, AND A CULINARY CHEF OF DIVINE HOPE

MANIFESTED AS THREE WOMEN REACHING DOWN AND SAYING

'' WE ARE GOING PRAY FOR YOU ''

'' STAND UP SON ''

WHEN I WAS THRISTY

CHOKING ON THE DUST OF MY HORRIFIC CHOICES

MILLIONS OF MILES AWAY FROM ANY SALUTATIONS

OR GRAND FESTIVITIES OF A SUCCESS IN MY LIFE

YOUR CUPPED HANDS POURED HEAVENLY PARENTAL LOVE ALL OVER ME

THE UNIVERSES OF MERCY AND GRACE QUENCHED ME

BEYOND ANY OF OUR HUMAN COMPREHENSION

WHEN I WORE THE GARMENTS

OF A PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL STRANGER

THE AROMA OF SELF-DESTRUCTION FILLING THE AIR AROUND ME

THE DAILY TORMENT OF WHETHER GOD HEARD ME

PEOPLE DETOURING AROUND ME

PEOPLE IGNORING ME

PEOPLE UNABLE TO SEE THE ENDLESS GLOW IN MY HEART

THAT'S WHEN GOD'S GRACE ARRIVED

CHOSE ME

LIKE JOB, LIKE LAZARUS

AND GUIDED ME TO THE REFUGE OF BIBLICAL SCRIPTURE

~ I HEARD THE RUMBLING IN MY SOUL ~

~ JEREMIAH 29: 11 – 13 GROOVING WITH HOPE ~

NOW FULLY SPIRITUAL CLOTHED

NOURISHED AND HEALED OF CHILHOOD-MANHOOD FOOLISHNESS

DELIVERED FROM THE PRISON OF MY GORILLIAS

I GOTTA STRIVE, I GOTTA THRIVE, I GOTTA SURVIVE

TO DEDICATE AS A DAILY CHORE

TO BE A LIFE OF RESTORED BLESSED BREATH LIFE

~ AN EMBER OF GOD'S SALVATION ~

# TERRIBLLE TIMES

~ THE CONVERSATION ~

~ OF A TERRIBLE TODAY ~

 

THE MANY CONVERSATIONS, THE MANY CONVERSATIONS

THE UNENDING CONVERSATIONS

~ PUBLIC REVELATIONS ~

THE TROUBLING TIMES

YOU CAN REPEAT THE LINE TEN THOUSAND TIMES

THE TANGLED-KNOTTED SHOE STRINGS

OF AMERICA’S HISTORY AND CULTURE

OUR NUMBED DELUSIONS OF IT’S SMOOTH, SILKY FABRIC

SOCIAL EARTH QUAKES HAVE QUIVERED

FROM SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY TO BLACK LIVES MATTER

OUR HEARTBEATS TREMBLE AND SCREAM

THE GUN LOBBIST AND MANUFACTORS ARE SINGING THEIR ANTHEM

~ OUT GUN THE GUN VIOLENCE ~

AND THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE FERVORANT

THAT THIS IS SANE

NO DIFFERENT THEN A VIDEO GAME

HOWEVER REALITY DRAINS THE SOIL OF HARMONY’S MOISTURE

AND THE WEEDS ARE FEED A PERVERSE RATIONALITY

THE FERVORANT SEEK TO ALWAYS BE FIRST

SOME QUOTING BIBLE VERSE

AND ISIS SEEKING PURITY RITES THRU BEHEADING AND GUN SIGHTS

SO THE MENTALLY BENT PAY THEIR RENT

BY MAKING PLANS OF DESTRUCTION

AND AMERICANS DRENCH THEMSELVES WITH THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY DEVICE

AND INNOCENTLY WE GO ABOUT THE CHORES OF OUR DAILY RESPONSIBILITIES

~ UNAWARE ! ~

OF THE STORM INSIDE SOMEONES MIND

SO THE EARTH ROTATES – SPEEDING UP THE PACE

OF OUR CIVILIZED DINNING

THIS MOVIE, THIS DOCU-DRAMA OF OUR EXISTENCE

REPLAYS IN A ENDLESS LOOP

THE GLUIBLE  PROFIT BARON OF MEDIA COVERAGE

AND ENERGY CORPORATIONS BLIND THIRST OF A FINITE COMMODITY

~ MAKING THE STORM AND CHASING THE STORM ~

~ MAKING THE STORM AND CHASING THE STORM ~

SHOWERS IN THE MIND

This is a Year to Share the Space
Hear Other Poetic Voices
So I Start with --- Frazier Haile ---
and as true poets Our Looking Within helps Us Clarify Our Paths
Helps Us Sort, Extinguish and Ignite The Utterances in Our Souls...

SHOWERS IN THE MIND

~ EVERY DAY IS A SIGN OF THE TIME ~

((( BY FRAZIER HAILE )))

 

the exchange of blame drips down the drain

claims we strain every drop from our brain too close to explain

 no is lost if you share in the pain

 the mud is washed in rain

 eyes expose there shame

 as we drink the waters of all that's forgotten in vein a collection of connections made before our birth

 made so it wouldn't hurt , hurt when we would grow, hurt when we let go, hurt when we first learned what we know, made so it won’t work if freedom is not put first.

Freedom is a Field of Joy within Us
Love is a Peaceful Lake in the Soul
Life is a Tree bursting with Blossums
 
Freedom, Love and Life
Await for Us to embrace God's Unique Designs for Each of Us
