Kept To keep Simple

As a writer of poetic verse.
So hard do I attempt and try,
To keep kept my expressions...
Basic, direct and left simple.
Yet...
Difficult for me it is,
To focus upon a doing of this.
When my mind becomes curious,
As if out of my control.

Reborn

Why should it take,
One caught committing...
Repeated wrongs.
To expect a receiving a forgiveness.
With a doing of this given to insist,
This is what 'Christians' do.
When someone depicted,
As being re-born.
After time so long spent,

Nothing More Nor Less

There is nothing more nor less.
I must confess to myself.
And each hour of everyday express.
I am deserving of good health.
Peace of mind.
And happiness bestowed upon me to get
From the blessings of God.

Knowing to be blessed.
Keeps me...

No Justice; No Peace

Increasingly with undeniable frequency.
Protestors picket.
With words to hear claiming,
Their valued democracy...
Has begun to being noticeably to cease.

They blame corruption.
And political dysfunction.
Lawlessness committed.
By those...

It Is Possible

'Hey?
Aren't you...?'

'No!'

'Do you know who you are?'

'Sometimes I do.
And there are times I don't.
The only thing I know right now,
Is where I'm going.'

'Where are you going?'

'Home.
Or back to my apartment.
I was told years...

Hi, EdwinRayTanguma. I appreciate your comments on 'What Is Meant To Intend'. Since as a writer, I am not swayed by religious or political beliefs others may or may not have. I can only admit being aware and conscious of current events. Events that should to all us conscious, be serious about how humanity is affected by them. I am a writer. Powerless to offer remedies or solutions. I comment on what I observe and see from my perspective. Whether or not my point of view is accepted. Like those who may read my submissions to Poetry.com...living in an environment with problems existing.
This permits and provides me with incentive. And, I do the best I can to respect beliefs that are not my own to attempt to influence anyone. However, I do encourage thinking as a process that, hopefully, promotes understanding. Thanks again. Lawrence
