Nattering in the Same Millpond...

by Richard Lloyd Cederberg — Read all 279 poems by Richard Lloyd Cederberg

Before you can make positive healthy changes, you first have to see and understand clearly what it is you're trying to change. Concerning Washington DC: What is life without honor. Degradation is worse than death.

Poem Artwork
Much is consigned to journeying
beyond recurring chasms of deduction:
Freethinkers chained in fallacies and
all preemptive politicizing,
prideful politicians
puffing
their chests,
gulping their alcohol,
and then yielding to the
snotty-nosed inner voices
telling them they’re enlightened,
or green, and all the while ascribing
immutable frailty to a seasons passing….
.
Who are these
libertine intellectuals,
not subject to morality or
good sense, apostate savants
shackled in the chains of sophistry
where governance is bogged down
in the prattles and tommyrots of
fabricators and tosspots,
and all of them
nattering in the same millpond,
.
a place where
bully-islands stargaze,
the frightened apologize,
deceivers deceive
liars prevaricate,
thieves violate,
killers kill,
and where all those
determined to be offended
always find a provocation somewhere…
.
What has happened to normal families,
where each member affirms, guides, defends,
and fosters the other in love and respect.
Why is it some humans bankrupt
every good thing in their lives?
Distressed alcoholics,
aloof and distant,
self-centered,
having no empathy,
insensitive, narcissistic,
Janus-faced fools walking
in such darkness, they have to
burn someone else just to see light…
.
In this world
little is as it seems,
and what the deluded wish
to accept as true , they envision,
and then freely embellish,
as classic oils
enthrall the eyes,
doing so as perfect storms
inundate the shorelines, and
where Bolsheviks and snowflakes
attempt to realign normalcy
to craft the illusion
that just maybe they are
demonstrative enough, to be
taken serious in a woke world going mad….

Nothing is really ever new under the sun when it comes to human relationships. But our technology has taken us into a place of choices that are nearly endless. If, as you suggest in this rather morbid view of society, we make a choice that is not what someone or some people think is not appropriate, it is within our power to use the new words that have been generated like woke to express our displeasure with what has been revealed and is now in the open rather than hidden away like it always was before.

I see not despair, but hope as the world gets better and more aware every year of what evil really is and why it should be eliminated in favor of cooperation, empathy and fairness. That may be idealistic and not realistic, but that's the way I see people every day, not the other way that many who fear and wish to write about it.

Your deep words are so deep gifts from the Father to the world for this era of earth. I know exactly what your talking about Richard. We must be torch barriers to a very broken, sad and desolate world that needs our light, love and hope in this era even when we don't feel like it- I find when I do that I grow in His love and love others and they heal and when they heal- I heal.... We must cleanse and rejuvenate ourselves and glorify Him for all He is and has done...

Today I thought how all turmoil was so planned since the 1920-30s.

Yet people just kept being sheeples... That is America in the seen natural realms. The spirit realms tells us what time it really is- We are in times of Revelation and it's exciting, joyous that it overflows with such happiness if we think about it...All the real life characters that were written about in the bible are coming to life right now in our modern world through people and yes they know what time it is.!!!! The eagle is going to be healed and will fly and the lion is roaring upon this great earth!! I am so joyed!!!!

And we must stand on our principled faith like never before, be a light and hope and help others , especially those with broken hearts, all the while standing on the Word as our blueprint in whatever way God gives us the discernment to serve......I am so grateful He took a filthy low wretch like me and cried for me, opened His soul and welcomed me back. there are no words for His amazement!!!!

I feel very deeply sad about the families, especially elders and elders who fought for this nation. My heart is broken in billions of pieces but we agreed before the womb what our Lord wanted for us- I feel relief knowing that on sad days and it sets me straight-

I see so much sadness and distraction in them, but I try to shine and encourage them because what else are we here for??.

Richard they need our bright flame to have the courage to go on~~~

I try to encourage them with conversations in salt as a fisherman.. I try to show extreme compassion even if I am going through a massive turmoiled situation. I must not just exist for me

. I must be used as His vessels for His glorification..>>> but I know God gave us His Word because He is and it is the only blueprint for a beautiful blessed peace filled life. Paul teaches me to gather radicle strength in these times- to not be afraid, even if there are tornados in the are, which there has been with massive flooding! His faith is a profound example of so many prophets that stood in radicle faith no matter the circumstance...I'm growing, stretching profoundly in these times and realizing my Father deeply loves me and it is molding me on that potters wheel.... Those that are sober minded not just physically, mentally and spiritually will only be in my very tight corner of life and important decision's and it's influence. Others are not let in unless I know they are truly biblical in all areas...I've been burned too much by others...The others can turn like I did, repent, come to apply Word and rend their hearts. I know there are going to be so many that are going to need love, help, encouragement and Word and this is what we are here for. The others you must grow deeper in radicle discernment to protect you and your loved ones. I mourn for the broken but I know deep inside that there is a profound better way and it is through a relationship with our Savior, The Light Of The World.... I thought today where I was at once and how I finally decided to do it His way- not because I was at the end of my rope- but because I was shown His broken heart as He was dying on that rugged cross and He yearned profoundly for me- me? And He knows when a sparrow drops to ground in death His heart is feeling compassion for it- yes You bet!! And I'm loved so much more!!!!!! And the explosion of wisdom, guidance, love and profound healing I got was so life change in a severe radicle way I couldn't help but share it with the world. He is our only hope Richard in this dark demon infested world where people have lost morals, courage and the will to be a light... I pray that others will have a radicle life altering experience that I had but not wishing their situation to be as extreme as mine....I yearn, mourn for those 70's and 80's where it was deeply the very best, safest, most prosperous time but we were too busy being not needing our Father and were hoodwinked by the enemy and those false shepherds will have such great damnation for leading so many astray. People must realize what they teach, whether it's humanist philosophies or whatever- will be held accountable, YET they fear not Him. I fear Him and that is what lets me keep straight and narrow. There is still so much flowing glorious beauty in life- people and nature that it explodes with the work of His craftmanship. I hear heavens so much more in depth of 3D beauty!!!!! We are to be His disciples and by that we alter the course of other's destiny that was already spoken before the womb- we just are aligned with our true purpose to help. Thank you for all that you and Michelle do for the cause of the Kingdom and thanks for prayers~~ All the best to you and Michelle, Bro as you two are often in my prayers -

Quite a treatise you've penned here, bringing front and center much of what in its truest sense, should be flushed out in the dirty dishwater of diluted infectious garbage. One can interpret this illustrious piece of wordsmithing in either a positive or negative sense. I, for one, see the positive vibrations seeping through the sub text and finding purchase where I enjoy myself most: a hallowed spot in my being where thinking takes place. In fact, much like the effect this piece is having on my thought processes, a good part of my NY and Hollywood experience of fakery and solipsism inforces your premise garnered from Washington. I'm reminded that ne often learns the most from that which we find wrong, offensive, or in the case of your piece here, a warning of disastrous proportions: " ruled most everything, "...where Bolsheviks and snowflakes
attempt to realign normalcy
to craft the illusion
that just maybe they are
demonstrative enough, to be
taken serious in a woke world going mad…."

Between now and November, little can be expected in reviving the nation's political hacks into something above Neanderthal reason.
