Defend


Kendall Jenner
The secret revenge body?


Defend
Your Garden
あなたの庭を守る
Anata no niwa o mamoru

After judgment had been revealed
I was subjected to trial by ordeal.

They cast me into the mire and mud.
I landed with an awful thud.

I tried to climb out of the well.
I tried and tried. Each time I fell.

No one came to this cistern.
My calls for help became whispered.

I waited and waited for deliverance.
My shivering became quite vigorous.

My prayers were answered. My cry was heard.
I no longer felt like a gallows bird.

I was lifted up from the shifty shallow.
Solid rock became most hallowed.

I climbed up to the tallest cliff
to gaze out over the great abyss.

A new song sprang from my mouth.
I'd been delivered from my drought.

Many will see and stand in awe.
The eagle grasps the fish with claw.

Spinoza's judgment was not as severe
as the Inquisition which tortured and seared.

Happy are those whose trust is fulfilled.
Results were made for what was willed.

False statements are not contorted.
Pleas are heeded as needed, not aborted.

Great things are those that you have done
when the risk has passed and you have won.

Immeasurable are your plans in wonder for us
when goals are met in fulfillment of trust.

Numerous are the discoveries investigation reveals.
Design is layered. No change is cause concealed.

Sacrifice defends the state that stands.
Trade is made from hand to hand.

Prosperity is for those who work and wait.
So I said, "I will not be late."

It is written in the book concerning me,
"You will open your eyes to see
the law is deep in your heart.
It has been there from the start."

It was the horse that drew the cart.
Praise has been raised to show you art.

Your love was not concealed from the congregation.
Libation for the nation will increase your station.

Behold. I did not restrain my speech.
The greater good, I did beseech.

Faith in justice must draw the arc
of the moral universe to light the spark
that melts the metal of the matter at the conjoining part
for the strongest bond. A weld that holds like the tiny quark.

You are the author of your love.
Let your destiny give fate a shove.

Innumerable troubles have crowded me;
so many I could barely see.

There were more in number than the hairs on my head.
My heart felt like a part of the living dead.

Please deliver me from the ties that bind my mind.
When I seek truth, it is facts that I will find.

Let those who seek to harm be dismayed
by the trouble they cause by the game they played.

Let those who delight in causing misfortune
feel the shame for their social contortion.

Let those who gloat over the pain they caused
remind those they harmed to stay on guard.

Let those who defend the will for salvation
be granted grace to find safe haven.

Let those who love your salvation say,
"It is great to love the eternal way."

Though poor and afflicted, I have been regarded
as an ardent artist for the guarded home and garden.


40 Expectans, expectavi

1 I waited patiently upon the Lord; *
he stooped to me and heard my cry.
2 He lifted me out of the desolate pit, out of the mire and clay; *
he set my feet upon a high cliff and made my footing sure.
3 He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God; *
many shall see, and stand in awe,
and put their trust in the Lord.
4 Happy are they who trust in the Lord! *
they do not resort to evil spirits or turn to false gods.
5 Great things are they that you have done, O Lord my God!
how great your wonders and your plans for us! *
there is none who can be compared with you.
6 Oh, that I could make them known and tell them! *
but they are more than I can count.
7 In sacrifice and offering you take no pleasure *
(you have given me ears to hear you);
8 Burnt-offering and sin-offering you have not required, *
and so I said, "Behold, I come.
9 In the roll of the book it is written concerning me: *
'I love to do your will, O my God;
your law is deep in my heart.'"
10 I proclaimed righteousness in the great congregation; *
behold, I did not restrain my lips;
and that, O Lord, you know.
11 Your righteousness have I not hidden in my heart;
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your deliverance; *
I have not concealed your love and faithfulness from the great congregation.
12 You are the Lord;
do not withhold your compassion from me; *
let your love and your faithfulness keep me safe for ever,
13 For innumerable troubles have crowded upon me;
my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see; *
they are more in number than the hairs of my head,
and my heart fails me.
14 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me; *
O Lord, make haste to help me.
15 Let them be ashamed and altogether dismayed
who seek after my life to destroy it; *
let them draw back and be disgraced who take pleasure in my misfortune.
16 Let those who say "Aha!" and gloat over me be confounded, *
because they are ashamed.
17 Let all who seek you rejoice in you and be glad; *
let those who love your salvation continually say,
"Great is the Lord!"
18 Though I am poor and afflicted, *
the Lord will have regard for me.
19 You are my helper and my deliverer; *
do not tarry, O my God.

Drought

Others,

I will pour water on the thirsty land. Streams will refresh the dry ground. My Spirit will be poured out on your family; my blessing on your descendents.

The drought of 2012 may surpass the one in 1936.

Drought
Ps.54, James 3, recent events

Save me by faith in your name, God.
Defend my cause with your strength.
No rumble
from the thunder drum.
No clouds.
No sign of relief


There has been no rain.
‘No rain’ means ‘more pain.’
Help.
Devastation is seared
into memory.
The curse of a fallen nation
screams out with pain.


Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rock is raining.
Sound is shock
dropping and shaking
first responders
on the ground.
Billowing towers
crumble impossibly
from the top
at close to the speed
of gravity down.
The crushing crash,
this blast of building,
was caused by what?
What cause?
What caused this?
Jet fuel?
Impossible.
But that is what was said.
(It is only true that they said it.)


Toxic fear billows
like smoke from the concrete rubble.
There lies our hope for fairness in world trade.
The dreams of the country
are shattered by the cry
for a war on terror.
Justice must be served.
Those responsible
must be held accountable.


Behind the smoke,
the deception states,
“It was Arab terrorists.”
Experts testified to verify
what had already been determined
to be the case.
The official story, while fictive,
must be treated as true.
There was no investigation
of suspected terrorist events.


Afghanistan was just sitting there
near Iran, Pakistan, China…
not far from the former Soviet Union…
just sitting there on the far side
of the Middle East…
just waiting for the west
to pick up where it had left off
before the communists had decided
that it was too close to their borders
for comfort.
The Taliban, a CIA creation,
had to be targeted as harbingers
of terror, so military presence
could increase influence
for western products.


Iraq had to be attacked.
Saddam Hussein,
the opposition pawn
that had been played
against Islamic Iran,
had to be replaced.
The cry for Zion was used
to turn tensions against Islam.
Two wars during a major tax cut later,
the elitist was heard to ask,
“What crisis?”
He said,
“There is no problem.
The economy is fine
(…from the perspective
of those who profited
from the wars).


Now, there is drought again.
When is there not a lack of rain?
The government has been without revenue.
Social security has been reduced by spending cuts.
The baby boomers have become the elderly.
Disaster relief was cut due to economic stress.
The public sector was decreased to make
unemployment look like it was caused
by the successors to the cause of the crisis.
Have those responsible for the destruction
on 9/11 been brought to justice? No.
They dwell in the protected privacy
of their homes.
Their security is the best
that blood money
can buy.


Hear my prayer, God.
Give ear to the words
from my mouth.
Opportunists have risen up
exploiting elitist exploitation.
Freedom of expression
has been punished.
Privacy in media use
has been compromised.


If watchwords are being used
to seek out plans for destruction,
why wasn’t the Colorado killer stopped?
Why is protest being punished?
Why do partisan politics rule the state?
Why has help through the public sector
been disabled?
The dry land mocks providence. It is desolate.
Wasteland favors crows and insects.


Where is the source of conflict?
It comes from coveting
for those who have enough.
It comes from deprivation
for those who do not.
Feeling conflict is not criminal.
Acting to cause serious damage
to others, property or self is.
Is increasing unfair advantage
for the wealthiest not a grave offense
against the economy of the people?
It is an advocacy for “legal” crime.


It is conceivably the greatest offense
that a party could propose.
Yet it is being proposed
by the party that would have
us believe that the elitist is
the only one that counts.
Who is listening?
Don’t believe the lies.
Stand opposed to crime,
wars of aggression, oppression,
deception and anything
that causes serious damage.
Feel angry, but do no harm.

Show your faith by your good life.
Show that your works are done
with a gentleness that is graced
by wisdom.


National security depends
upon domestic tranquility.
Social security is the greater part
of national integrity.
Whoever would be first
has to justify a proposal for service.
That which has been done to justify the proposal
is only an indicator of what will be done,
but it is better than betting on a criminal record.
The elitist record has robbed us of resources
to weather hardship caused by natural disaster
from the start of civilization.


Support a plan
that will improve the situation.
Elect responsible leadership.
Watch the news for truth.
Listen for facts.
Choose responsibly.

Dave Matthews – Save Me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J-ImSpdQb8Y
I said, "How about a drink or a bite to eat?"
He said, "No, all I need is my faith
and my walking feet."
I said, "Then save me. Save me,
Mr. Walking Man, if you can."


Pray for rain. Support disaster relief.
