The Menin Gate.


I'll meet you at the Menin Gate
You bring Free Will and I'll bring Fate.

You bring the Annals of human endeavour
And I'll bring Nancy, Wayne and Trevor.

I'll meet you on the mountain
in your moment of choice
to roar with the thunder
or to hear the still small voice.

I'll meet you in the forest
cold and dark and deep
and rouse you from slumber
before you fall asleep.

I'll meet you in the wilderness
where you have gone astray
and be with you beside the tree
where you begin to pray.

I'll meet you at the Crossroads
you cannot be early or be late
I have already met you there
and know the time and date.

I'll meet you on the Bridge
I will not cross without you
and you will know on that day
I did not ever doubt you.

A Beautiful Heart.


The Lord does not look at the things people look at.
People look at the outward appearance,
but the Lord looks at the heart.’ 1 Samuel 16:7.

A Beautiful Heart,

Gracious, Loving, Forgiving,
Compassionate, Kind,
Thoughtful, Generous.

'Have you got the Scrolls' - 'No I always walk like this'


 The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up,
 and every mountain and island was removed from its place.
 Revelation 6

Is the universe a two dimensional mathematical equation
projected as three dimensional to the observer?

Is the observer also a dimension?

The Past


Catching a glimpse of a time yet to come
is not seeing the future from the present
but is seeing the past from the future
it is not looking forward but looking back.

Glimpsing the future is from looking back over time
from a place where all time is history.

Darkened.

       
      
       I look through a glass darkly
       darkened by my fallen sight
       the images are blurred
       but O my God I can see light.

Milk for the Road.


Milk for the Road

Subtle sickly sweet hypocrisies
turn them sour overnight
xenophobic by morning
Police and men from the council
demand that we move on
from their picturesque village
and neighbourly people
We are breaking the law
of aesthetic ambiance
causing the people
to become transmogrified
by our vicinity
to their cocoon
of acceptable association

This is one of the first poems I wrote.
It's about my family being moved on by police and council men
which was a regular occurrence.

What is truth?

For many people
If the personal delusion of who they think they are
were removed from them
then their personality would collapse
in a blithering heap of disorientation.

The truth of who we are is in how we are seen by God.
The truth is not in our own judgement or opinion or criterion or fantasy
the truth of who we are is what God sees when He looks at us.

By nature we compare ourselves with other people,
and by nature we need to find someone or something to be less than we are.
But at the end of the day it's all a human folly that can and has become an evil.
We are already witnesses to what can happen when the flaws in human nature become a political dogma legislated into law.
The beginning of knowing the truth is to see ourselves as a sinner in the sight of God.
This is the first photo in the album of seeing ourselves as God sees us.

Thou God seest me. Genesis 16:13.

Herrenvolk.

From the corner of my eye
I can almost see
in a recess of my mind
something dark is watching me
Moving in shadows
but not caused by light
emanating darkness

Held at the gate
by the keeper of the keys
kept in quarantine like a disease
Endlessly pacing
the confines of it's cell
Glaring defiantly
with the venom of hell

Here is
The accuser of my soul
the robber of my peace

Here is
The hand of iron
fashioned in a cross
fashioned to deceive

Here is
The God of racial supremacy
the master of the master race
the destroyer of worlds

And from you where can I flee
to the highest mountain or the deep blue sea
I will take you there with me.

As you get older you tend to see or have more of a handle on things as they are.
When you're younger you're full of ideals, you want to change the world.
Then one day you catch a glimpse in the mirror you don't like and realize this is the you that's just as bad as all the people you had wanted to save the world from.
Then you know you're not just the victim of all the bad stuff that goes on in the world you're also the perpetrator.
I suppose that's got something to do with the young being full of ideals and people who are a bit older receding into resignation.
Jesus said to his disciples - "you have more to learn but you cannot bear it all just now." I think some of what they could not bear was the truth about themselves in the sight of God.

Does this mean we should do nothing - No, we should still try but to me - not to change the world but to change one heart at a time beginning with our own.
What we need to find within ourselves is not the "good" but the "Jackbooted Goose-stepping Nazi." Subdue this part of ourselves first then the good will come.

Kristiana Coignard.

 
 
“I think it was a cry for help,” Robertson said of the police interaction that ended in Coignard’s death. “I think they could have done something. They are grown men. I think there is something they are not telling us.” -  Link.

Big Fish.



It would not be possible to exaggerate

The criminality the corruption and the depravity

 Within  Politics and Corporate Business.

 Their union creates

 The Third Entity

 A machine like system

 Of  heartless,  soulless and unaccountable

 Control, manipulation and exploitation.

Prime Minister's Questions

                                                                                                           
 P M Qs

"If you don't stop picking your hair
you won't have any left to cover anything.
No I think it's slimming,
It's a lovely suit, you can't go wrong
with a dark blue mohair.
Did you bring the black shoes. Grey socks?
Your shirt's okay but the tie's a bit busy.
You're not giving the speech to Cherie!
You'd better have mine
I just put it on this morning
and nobody's seen it yet.
Yeah,  I know it's silk.
No, you look fine, give us a twirl
Oh, hold on a minute.
The severed Iraqi child's arm
in your top jacket pocket.
Here have this handkerchief instead
Ah, that's better.

Now go an' give 'em hell"

"Thank you Peter"

"You're Welcome"

Pre - Birth. By Tony Blair the Devil's Gimp.







Jim Murphy - Tony Blair's Gimp.



Does this man want us to follow him or chase him. To me he reeks of  Tony Blair's slime,
and I think we should chase him all the way back to Westminster.
The photo is from BBC Scottish news, to inform us how great a guy he is.
