The Virtuous Man
by Keir

Who can find the Virtuous Man? His price is far above gold and platinum.
This man is bold but he cannot be sold, for he is sold out to his family.
He works hard to provide for them financially.
Nurturing the little ones as they grow up.
But this man can be found.
The virtuous man does not need to seek after pharmaceuticals.
For this man gets High, off of spending time with his family.
Nurturing his family and helping his family to Grow.
As a well watered, well fertilized beautiful flower.
His Light helps the flower to grow.
The virtuous man, understands that he must not just provide for his family
financially.
But that he must nurture his families souls,
with love, affection, attention.
This man is not one who disappears at nite, running the streets.
Seeking after, strange women.
That will leave him broke, busted, discuss-ted.
Going home with no money.
The virtuous man, understands that he must feed his family spiritually,
with the Word.
That will strengthen and make their spirits grow.
Are you he.
The virtuous man, is caring and generous and gets involved with the community.
Helping the needy, not greedy.
For this man understands that the good that he does for others, shall come back to
him in time.
So he sows goodness, all around. Knowing that what he has planted,shall come back to him, in abundance, in time.
The virtuous man, is wise and seeks after wisdom from above.
For Wisdom, will show him how to build riches in his own house.
For a hard working wise man shall stand stand before kings.
Wisdom, is the ability to apply knowledge correctly.
Are you this virtuous man?
If not, then follow the road map that I just lay ed out for you.
The Virtuous man, understands.
He has a plan. Peace

Unemployed
by Keir (key-air)

I once knew a man that was unemployed.
Under so much pressure and stress from not being able to pay his bills,
he was greatly annoyed.
Having worked for so many years,
helping family members financially,
calming their fears.
But this man had no more to give.
Many of his friends and family members acted like,
He did not live.
Non existent this man became in many of his friends and
family members lives.
This brother's down on his luck, you can see it, in their eyes.
Such a very bad hand that this man was dealt.
Many of this mans friends and family,
barely lifted a finger, to give this man help.
Except for his mother and grandmother,
on a very fixed income.
They did what they could to make sure that he had some,
some money for gas, some food to eat,
and mom gave some money so that her son,
would not be put out, into the street,
This man continued and pushed on to look for a job.
He would refuse to listen to the devil and give into the
temptation to rob.
For this man continued to walk by faith and to believe in His God.
For this mans God promised, to meet all of this mans needs,
in His Word.
So this man continued to stand and believe in His God's Word.
He knew that if he continued to believe,
his prayers would be heard.
In a quite time of prayer he heard,
that he was to remember the past victories,
and how he was brought thru in the past.
And as he was going thru this test, trial, and tribulation.
That this to shall not last, but shall also, pass.
That this state of Unemployment,
shall be turned into Re-Employment.
These words are to encourage you, to stay the course.
The Blessing, is just around the corner,
an Abundant Resource.

Keir (key- air) focuses on three types of poetry. Lyric, Narrative, and prose poetry.

The Artist
by Keir (key-air)

The Artist is a creative being,
sometimes flowing between reality and immortality
and different dimensions.
Of course, while sober and not under the influence of anything.
There are no boundaries to the artist imagination,
for he or she flows in and out of the boundaries,
to be creative.
With his or her antennas up,
Ready to receive new revelations, enlightenment's a… Continue
