On Trampled Ground

Over Trampled Ground

Visit and enjoy
But what is it
Just a clever decoy
A tourist pit

Not songs of old
Beautiful places of the unknown
Or stories told
Of luscious home grown

But overcrowded masses
Seeing what is made for them
Looking through tourist glasses
The not authentic ho hum

What was
Is gone
A faux pas
Just a yawn

Days long ago
When it was exquisite
A local partisan show
With sentiment and eloquence

An old charm
With genuine people
Living simply with no alarm
On the side of the steep hill

Vineyards and orchards
Olives and grapes
With no ill words
Living with what it takes

To be simple
And kind
With no one to swindle
Or steal you blind

But today
There are plenty
Battling the fray
Too many

In these tourist traps
Marketed as something special
But just ridiculous scraps
On a monetary hijacked vessel

“Abortion Wars: Kill the Supreme Court Justices” by Conrad Birmingham –





“One of the most alarming chapters of this story is the number of black abortions in the United States. Thirty percent of the black population has been aborted over the past fifty years. That is 18 million babies aborted. This is an enormous, horrific number. The real story is why there is no outcry from black leaders, especially the Black Live Movement, religious leaders, and liberal democrats. Why do they ignore these horrible, despicable statistics?”

Holiday
Christmas
Will not decay
With an accomplice

Always fresh
With a happy companion
Flesh to flesh
And much affection

Life is fun
Life is exciting
Life is a blast
Life is exhilarating 

A special person
Makes all the difference
Affection and cooperation 
Tolerance and reverence

Honor and cherish
Give all you can
Romance will not perish
With many parties over your lifespan

Birthdays
Halloween 
Anniversaries 
Weddings 

Many occasions to share
Arm and arm
Under loving care
And mesmerizing charm

Sing with joy
For this grand opportunity 
Only we can destroy 
Our loving  community

And I will guard and protect
This one in a lifetime chance
Allowing no disrespect
During this lifelong dance

She found me
She chose me
I have claimed her
And I will keep her

Forever and ever
To death do us part 
And I will never 
Lose my sweetheart

	


	





	

		
		
My Old Friend
	


	
	
	

		

I missed you
My good friend 
We can share a pew
And transcend

Transcend my feelings
My feelings of obscurity
In all routine dealings
Reducing my security 

Fall left to right
Shift backwards
The sun so bright
Unable to say words

Where do you hide
In the summertime
Where do you reside
Rushing back time after time

To disrupt my life
Bewitching me
Causing such strife
Not letting me flee

Fleeing the troubles
Fleeing the nuisance
Fleeing the intangibles
Fleeing the assurance

Assurances of stability
Assurances of normality
Assurances of survivability 
Assurances of congeniality

I become tired
I become annoyed
I become angered
I become destroyed

Hard to accept
This reoccurring crap
Not well kept
In this sinister trap

Trap of denial 
Trap of betrayal 
Trap of carnal
Trap of  abnormal

This is not just
Give me relief
Can you adjust
And reduce your grief

You must 
No other choice
Or you will rust
And lose your voice

Stay steady
Bulk up
Reduce your anxiety 
Accept your cup

There’s no way to describe how great God is or how much God loves you. I’m sitting at the beach after finishing my mini-book that’s free right now on Amazon and my first book of poetry which is in pre-order on Amazon. I do not have the link to both of them right now but if you go search on Amazon Conrad Birmingham goes right to them. This book is a compilation of my poems for last 10 years s uphowing my life. I guess it’s really an autobiography, but I did not see it that way when I was writing the poems or the book.










I’ve learned a lot from these writing experiences. I’ve learned:





1. Slow down. Enjoy each day. Live this day to the fullest.





2. Everything should be about God. I know that’s hard. I know you can’t be perfect because of Adam and Eve. You need to try to do the best you can and repent of your sins when you can’t be what God wants you to be.





3. Give more than you take. I wish I gave more when I was younger than I took. All of my relationships would have been better and healthier. I know that’s comes through wisdom which comes from the fear of God. Praise the Lord





So in summary?





1. What can you do today right now to make your life better?





2. What can you do right now to give mercy to others and to make their lives better?





3. How can you honor God more right now today, right this second?
