Redeem Israel, O God, From All Their Troubles!

Psalm 25
Of David.
1[a] To you, O LORD, I lift up my soul;
2 in you I trust, O my God.
Do not let me be put to shame,
nor let my enemies triumph over me.

3 No one whose hope is in you
will ever be put to shame,
but they will be put to shame
who are treacherous without excuse.

4 Show me your ways, O LORD,
teach me your paths;

5 guide me in your truth and teach me,
for you are God my Savior,
and my hope is in you all day long.

6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love,
for they are from of old.

7 Remember not the sins of my youth
and my rebellious ways;
according to your love remember me,
for you are good, O LORD.

8 Good and upright is the LORD;
therefore he instructs sinners in his ways.

9 He guides the humble in what is right
and teaches them his way.

10 All the ways of the LORD are loving and faithful
for those who keep the demands of his covenant.

11 For the sake of your name, O LORD,
forgive my iniquity, though it is great.

12 Who, then, is the man that fears the LORD ?
He will instruct him in the way chosen for him.

13 He will spend his days in prosperity,
and his descendants will inherit the land.

14 The LORD confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.

15 My eyes are ever on the LORD,
for only he will release my feet from the snare.

16 Turn to me and be gracious to me,
for I am lonely and afflicted.

17 The troubles of my heart have multiplied;
free me from my anguish.

18 Look upon my affliction and my distress
and take away all my sins.

19 See how my enemies have increased
and how fiercely they hate me!

20 Guard my life and rescue me;
let me not be put to shame,
for I take refuge in you.

21 May integrity and uprightness protect me,
because my hope is in you.

22 Redeem Israel, O God,
from all their troubles!

Footnotes:

Psalm 25:1 This psalm is an acrostic poem, the verses of which begin with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet.

Psalm 25 (New International Version)

N.B:
The nation of Israel shall be redeemed by the grace of God and not by the Peace Resolution for Lebanon Unanimously Approved at U.N.. And all the enemies of Israel who don't want Israel to exist don't deserve to exist. And those enemies who say that Israel should be wiped off the face of the earth shall be wiped off the face of the earth. Because, God will redeem Israel from all her troubles.

Whosoever does not want you to live does not deserve to live.

We should live and let others live in love, peace and unity for the common good of humanity.

Scarlet Tears of London Circulates As London Escapes New Terrorist Bomb Attacks

My Scarlet Tears of London is dedicated to the memory of the unfortunate victims of the terrorist bomb attacks in London on July 7, 2005. And as the book is circulating, London is being threatened by another terrorist bomb attack. The terrorist plot has been foiled and I thank God for saving us from these diabolical enemies of humanity in the masquerade of religion. Again, they are British Muslims living among their fellow British citizens in the UK. And you wonder how they could be so wicked and so unrepentant!

It all began with a tip: In the aftermath of the July 7, 2005, suicide bombings on London's transit system, British authorities received a call from a worried member of the Muslim community, reporting general suspicions about an acquaintance.
Washington Post

See Plot to Bomb U.S.-Bound Jets Is Foiled. The 24 Suspected Conspirators are the devils among us.
Scarlet Tears of London and other poems in English and Spanish is worth reading to see my poems on London 7/7, and the psyche of the Islamic terrorists. I also composed poems on the tragedies of Hurricane Katrina, the Asian Tsunami, the unfortunate wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the fate of Israel in my "The Rape of Judah".

For more details of my testimonies on the existential realities of life, read my Scarlet Tears of London now on Barnes & Noble

People who bought my book on Barnes & Noble also bought the following:
• Gone Lisa Gardner
• The Prophet Kahlil Gibran
• Inferno Dante Alighieri, John Ciardi
• Paradise Lost (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) John Milton, David Hawkes (Introduction)
• The Iliad and the Odyssey Homer, Samuel Butler (Translator)

I have read Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet since 1980 with John Milton's Paradise Lost and of course I have read Homer's classics.

I am very glad and grateful to God that my book is going places globally.

My Love, These Words Are Not Enough

For My Aussie Sweetheart Keshi

Open wide the alluring colourful petals of your heart
To welcome my soul to the heaven of your being
And let me spread my wide wings over your bosom
As I cleave to the solace of your warm embrace
The warm embrace of your pollen grace
The pollen grace of your sweetest essence
The sweetest essence of your innocence
In our dance of nuptial romance
As you feed me with the sweet nectar of your innermost heart
I am immersed in the ether of your immaculate spirit
Enveloped in the rapture of our eternal bliss.
And there are no words worthy enough to capture the drumbeats of my heart
In the celestial cadences of the heavenly minstrels
Singing of the eternal covenant of our divine communion.

My sweet Keshi
These words are not enough to clothe my enchanted passions
The enchanted passions of my elated spirits
The elated spirits of my heart and soul longing for my sweet Keshi.

Scarlet Tears of London Now On Amazon.com

I give thanks to God as I tell you the good news that my latest book Scarlet Tears of London is now available on Amacon.com. And I am not going to tell you the values and virtues of my poems. But God knows that I am only his vessel of the essence of the romance of our existence in the universe. If you read any collection of poems more universal than Scarlet Tears of London, let me know. Because I believe that we should all live in common empathy with humanity. We don't have to wait for catastrophic events like 9/11 or London 7/7 before we feel the pains and sorrows of those suffering and dying in other countries as the tragedies in Israel and Lebanon have put more salt into the open wounds of terrified Americans and Europeans who felt very safe and secured in their Western comfort zones and tourist resorts until Osama bin Laden and his gang of suicide-bombers invaded New York, Madrid and London. Most of the so called Western elites were very ignorant of the pathetic lives of the wretched of the earth in Ethiopia where over 200 are now dead from floods or the bloody rebellion in Sri Lanka.But the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan also informed them to write bestsellers and discover the unknown and unsong geniuses in developing nations that as I blog, the Girl Blog from Iraq is being adapted for the stage at the Edinburgh Fringe arts festival. Fringe? I hope they don't mean the lunatic-fringe elements scattered all over the world. And anyone from our world who has not made it to Hollywood does not deserve their frontpage like Mel Gibson and his misunderstoood Jewish blues.

This is my second book to be released since the beginning of this year and I believe that God will give me more grace to publish two more of my unpublished books before the New Year. I want to publish all my unpublished books in the next three years.

The only way you can encourage and boost my morale is to buy my books. Because, I live and work to raise funds for charities in Nigeria and other parts of the world.

I cannot publish all the thousands of compliments I have been receiving on my poems. But let me publish the most recent compliments from three of my friends in Nigeria, America and Malaysia.

~~Congratulations!!! I know you will go places.

Cheers and good luck with the sales.

Emmanuel.

~~Congratulations my friend. I will mention this in
my next monthly newsletter :-)

Yes, all the glory for the Lord. We have His blessings and things are turning out well for you and me.

Congratulations!

Chika Onu directing Glamour Girls.

I went to Port Harcourt yesterday to celebrate the 50th birthday of Mr. Charles Onu the younger brother of Chika Onu, one of the most accomplished directors in Nollywood.

I had a good time at the party hosted by the celebrant in his mansion on Orominike Street in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. And I returned to Bonny Island hours ago.

Chika Onu is one of the very few Nigerian filmmakers I respect and I can work with. Because, he is straight forward. And since he relocated from Lagos to Port Harcourt, we have been meeting to deliberate on our projects. I have decided to work with him on the production of my major film "Oma". "Oma" is only the working title. Chika has won many highly coveted prizes since he won the 1975 J.F. Kennedy International Essay Award.

I told Chika Onu that if South Africa can win the Oscar, Nigeria can also win it. And we agreed to take up the challenge of making films that win us the most coveted laurels in the film industry. And I need executive producers to produce "Oma".

For You My Beloved

My love.
Have you heard the Song of Songs?
The whispers of the Spirit of life
Swaying to the heartbeats of love.
In the ambiance of romance.
As we rhyme to the cadence.

Tomorrow Is Pregnant

I have been away to Port Harcourt and Lagos on working visits and couldn’t even see my sweetheart Linda whilst I was in Lagos.

The black and beautiful Nneka was mourning the sudden loss of her father and I did not even have enough time to comfort her. I was meeting with her aunt when I was told that Nneka’s father just died after brief illness. And her father meant a lot to her. I miss the passionate days Nneka and I spent in her aunt’s Hot & Spicy fast foods restaurant on the Bajulaiye Street in Shomolu, Lagos. The secret coded languages we taught each other made our romance very special.

Then as I was arriving from Port Harcourt this morning, I met Loveline a young Nigerian actress and my friend at the Nigeria LNG Jetty on Bonny Island and she told me that she was leaving for the funeral rites of her grandmother who brought her up since she lost her mother when she was only a child.

I have just lost money in an art exhibition I organized on Bonny Island, because only few people came to see the artworks and only two paintings were sold. The Adages, Images and Messages Art Exhibition was well publicized and every resident of the Nigeria LNG Residential Areas got a notification on the art exhibition.

The art and crafts exhibition featured the oil on canvas paintings in “netism” by George Condi of the Nigerian Army, Mhyoung Barracks, Lagos; oil on canvas paintings of Ebele Ukaegbu; acrylic on canvas paintings of Wilfred Nnuji; abstract installations by my humble self; magnificent jewelries made of beads and gems by the highly gifted Helen Cowan of the legendary King William Dappa-Pepple royal family of Bonny Kingdom; crafts by Gina Oby Attisso and the traditional African art and crafts of the Oladiti twins from Ibadan.
