[hometext] => If you think of all you learn in church or life, you won’t ask why some prosper and others don’t. Discipline; or the lack of discipline, is our prosperity or lack of prosperity. Whatever you may define as prosperity...
[bodytext] => 18:09:2016.... How it’s taken me so long. With teachings and songs. That life/'/s prosperity, Does not come from hand outs and charity. But rather from hard work, and discipline! But let’s first define discipline and prosperity: Meaning different things to you and me. For one it/'/s wealth; And another it/'/s health. Some prefer peace; Others a new life’s lease. You might want joy and happiness; Your sister just wants to escape sadness. For one fleeting moment, Not fearing an omen. Some love the laughter of children; Your neighbour wants just to be a pilgrim. Is all of this not prosperity, For one and all in society? Where then is the miracle; We ask who are always cynical? We think going on our knees, Is all we have to do to please. That some higher being; Visible or unseen Will wave his wand, And give us all we want. That I fear, is not the case - If you want to finish life’s race! But rather search within; Deep, deep under your skin, To the depths of your soul. Beyond the emotions that control; And look at the teachings with your head, Apply them with logic instead. So the miracle lies in discipline - To avoid wrong ways and things of sin. To take all you have learned; To avoid being burnt, In life and hell. Truly you don’t need a spell: Yes we must be charitable. For prosperity is inevitable! When the charity is knowledge, That removes poverty’s blockage: Just use your head - Then you will achieve all you want before you go to bed!

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
