The Undesirables

 

 

This world is too crowded

The population’s too huge,

We must rid us of most of them

Which ones will we choose?

 

Let’s think about the races

That’s a good place to start,

Which colour predominately

Do we want out of our park?

 

We have yellow and red

And there are bronze and black,

Three of them at this time

We can give some slack.

 

Though it’s colour we want

We’ll settle for the blacks,

Let’s get rid of those first

At the top of the stack.

 

 

They are most undesirable

Though, not in the past,

Back then they served us well

But as our slave class.

 

Now they want equal rights

And think we are unfair,

It is time those undesirables

Just disappear.

 

We can starve them out

Or let them have a feast

Particularly on those things

That make them deceased.

 

Let us create a virus

To which they are susceptible

And deprive them of a vaccine

That makes it irreversible.

 

Let us build up stress

So that they will want to die

And the police can take them out

Once they defy.

 

Blacks are the undesirables,

The other colours are too

But for the time being

The blacks will do.

 

 

Too small is our global village

For these undesirables,

The poor class is next;

Their demise is inevitable.

 

They are eating up the food

That is in store for us,

They are demanding more

And creating a big fuss.

 

They too must go

'And the sooner the better'

That brings us to creed

But that’s a different matter.

 

 

Colour, class and creed:

That’s how we will proceed

Then we will deal with our own

If they do not heed.

 

The rich will rule the weak

Or we’ll get rid of them,

Soon we’ll have the right numbers

To solve our problem.

 

Did you notice who is left?

It is the white rich class:

Their obsessive right to rule

Goes way back in the past.

 

They will take out their own

When there’s no more to take out,

That’s what the undesirables

Is all about.

 

 

This world is too crowded

The population’s too huge,

We must rid us of most of them

Which ones will we choose?

Valentine Downplayed?

  

 

 

Was it me

Or was it true

A downplayed Valentine

Was in view?

 

A lot of red

But not of Cupid,

A campaign was going

For a 3-peat bid.

 

 

 

Love of party

And of Mia Amor

And re that sea of red

Above she soared.

 

Maybe today

With results finalized

The fact of Valentine

Will be realized.

 

I imagined it?

Maybe probably so

After all, quite a lot of red

Was on show.

 

A gift of 30 seats:

Mia’s Valentine gift

And to the Botanical Gardens

Many will drift.

 

‘Twill be a sea of red

Over that place

And the Valentine photo

Will be Mia’s face.

 

 

 

The triumphant red

Over yellow and green

Will be readily on display

With their queen.

 

Congrats to the BLP

And to Mia on her 3-peat,

No room for the others;

Not a single seat.

 

Spare a thought

For Valentine Day,

Don’t let the party of red have it

All their way.

 

 

 

Combine the two

As you celebrate,

Remember it’s a love date

And don’t hate.

 

 

 

For we are all one

Bajan born and bred

And all colours are significant

But today, it’s red.

 

And let’s hope

Out of it will come good

For the nation and its people

As it should.

 

Happy Valentine

To all of you!

To the BLP, DLP, FOD, et al,

Keep love in view.

The Colour of Sin

The colour of sin

Is said to be black

But so is the absence of light

In the spectrum of colour

One need not bother

That light is regarded as white

The truth be told

If I could be that bold

Sin does not possess a colour

But by association

Man made a conclusion

And now that colour is a bother

It is however critical

And this might be pivotal

In the Bible sin is regarded as red

Let us go to the scene

of Isaiah 1 verse 18

And see what the prophet there said

Come let us reason

Now is the season

Let’s hear the word of the Lord

Two colours are used

But do not be confused

Underline the word red in the Word

Scarlet and crimson

There is no exemption

Both of these colours denote red

But note the contrast

Don’t let this pass

Go back and see what else was said

Get with the flow

There is wool and snow

These too are also mentioned

It’s not about colour

That should be the bother

But accepting the offer of redemption

This is the key

And I hope that you see

The issue here cannot be colour

But from sin turn

For the Saviour yearn

And him always you should follow

Stewart Russell (c) February 2019

In the Valley of Decision

In the valley of decision

And you don’t know where to turn

Two signs along the way

Will help you the path confirm.

Some say there are three

But I believe there are only two:

Two answers from the throne

That come to me and to you.

You can disagree if you like

But read on and you will see

There are only two responses,

I repeat, just two and not three.

But how can we simplify

All of life’s hard decisions

And trivialized them as it were

Into two straightforward positions?

Well it is not so straightforward

But it comes right down to two

However difficult your decision

Concerning everything in your view.

Often there is a lot of clutter

That first must be cleared away,

Much of it is our own desire

And really not what God has to say.

But when we come to His perspective

And we put our will behind

It is only then that we realize

There were two answers all the time.

It is somewhat like the traffic lights

There are amber, red and green,

Three colours but just two options,

Aha! Now you see just what I mean.

Red says that you must stop

 And green says continue on your way

But what does amber say to do?

“Wait”, I am sure is what you would say.

  

But how would you wait at a stoplight

If the light was showing green

And then proceed if that light was red

You would just create a scene.

So when it comes right down to it

Only two options you need consider:

Should I go or should I stop

Whether it’s red or green or amber.

You see amber really means to stop

If you are there at the traffic light

And if it catches you on approach

Stop is the option that is also right.

So that in truth and in fact

Amber indicates that we should stop

And that reality re: the traffic lights

Also pertains to our life’s lot.

God has overview of life’s decisions

He sees the outcome before we do,

He knows the end from the beginning

All of life’s future is within His view.

When we perceive that He says, “Wait!”

That’s another way of saying “No.”

To consider such as the answer “Yes!”

Is clearly not the way that we should go.

There’s no need to belabour the point

The options are only “Yes” or “No”,

“Wait” is a figment of our imagination

When in the future we intend to go.

Remember God is the one in control,

He determines when it’s yes or no,

He has no need to say to us to wait

For He says a thing and it is so.

Remember too it is He who orders

The steps of the righteous man,

Commit your decision making to Him,

Let His “Yes” and “No” be your plan.
