Tribute Thread: FReeper "Poet" Has Passed Away

4 December 2003 | Mudboy Slim

[Mudboy Slim]

Poet: "I have an abiding faith in Christ, therefore, I am at peace at peace Spiritually, emotionally and mentally. Here's a poem I wrote based on His being tempted by Satan in the Book of Matthew:

The Majesty of Yahshua Messiah

Satan took Him by the hand
showed Him riches o'er all the land
said to Him, this is yours
if you will acknowledge me as your lord

The Majestic One said to him
you dare to offer this great sin?
get thee hence , away from me
I rebuke you and your mockery

The day will come
when you'll be through
my Father's justice will come to you
you've caused Him such great ire
He will cast you into the Lake of Fire

There you'll remain for eternity
never again will you be free
with you will be the other two
to suffer torment along with you

Then will begin the new regime'
of which all believers dream
when they'll no longer be alone
as Yahshua Messiah sits upon His throne

May your soul endure, Mr. Lindsay.

Say hello to my dad for me.

The Pen, The Light , The Sword

The pen can inflame or inspire
the light, illuminate the dark
destruction is the purpose of the sword
if the pen and light miss their mark

The Pen
can inspire or inflame the
emotions of men
it can bring infamy
or it can bring fame

Its words can be used to negate
turning love into hate
its value lies in its power
to instill bravery or make us cower

The Light
In His wisdom, He gave us the light
to wash away the darkness of night
with each morning's dew
we can start life anew

The Sword
This is used to defend
and keep predators at bay
or it can be used to rend
all who stand in its way

A good poet, like a good songwriter, peels away layers that only serve to insulate us from our inner selves. This "poet" will be missed.

[IncPen]

Mud, I remember his name, and appreciated his thoughtful posts over the years. It's a strange thing to build a community as tight as FR yet be able to pass each other on the street, unknown.

If you hear from his family, please pass along my sincere respects.

[Mudboy Slim]

Good to see you, my FRiend.

Poet: "here's my second poem on the Book of Revelation. Hope you enjoy it.

Beware The Hoofbeats

Only one could open the book
even Angels were not permitted to look
the Blessed Lamb was the worthy one
He is Yahweh’s son

The First Seal

Four horsemen of different color
each was given evil power
one white, one red, one black, one pale
in the beginning they will not fail

The rider on the white horse
powered from the Satanic source
was given his instruction
to bring chaos and destruction

The Second Seal

Then the rider on the red horse
powered from the same source
will take peace from the earth
bringing mankind a great hurt

The Third Seal

Comes the rider on the black horse
with balances in his hand
speaking of weights and measures
to bring famine across the land

The Fourth Seal

The pale horse rider named Death
brings with him living Hell
with power over quarter of earth
bringing forth a groundswell
of pestilence and man eating beasts
lost souls will be the demon's feast

The Fifth Seal

The souls of them slain for God
for whose testimony they trod
over many lands to preach
a white robe will be given to each

The Sixth Seal

Now comes the devastating quake
causing all on earth to shake
in fear of the wrath of the Lamb
from which no one can withstand

The sun will turn black
while the moon turns to blood
'tis the start of great destruction
more devastating than the flood

But those that washed their robes
making them white in the blood of the Lamb
keeping their faith as did Job
they will be able to stand
and dwell with Him who shed His blood
for the redemption of man

The Seventh Seal

When He opened the seventh seal
a half hour of silence ensued
for the trumpets were about to sound
mankind was about to be bound

So sorry to hear this. May he rest in peace. Prayers for the family.

"It's a strange thing to build a community as tight as FR yet be able to pass each other on the street, unknown."

I know exactly what you mean...Mr. Lindsay lived out in California, so this Virginian never had the pleasure of meeting him face-to-face. Kinda makes you all the more glad when we take the time to join our fellow FReepers out on a FReep or a given political event.

FReegards...MUD

[Fracas]

What a nice tribute, MUD. Thanks for this post.

[Alamo-Girl]

I'm so sorry to hear this. I pray for blessings and peace for all of his loved ones!

[tiki]

A prayer for a fellow FReeper.

[My Favorite Headache]

RIP Poet...Cali lost another one.

[budwiesest]

My all-time favorite verse is the 2nd from the Louvin Brothers "When I stop Dreaming":

I'd be like a flower that blooms in the spring,
Alone and neglected, transplanted in vain.
To a garden of sadness, where it's petals will fall...
In the shadows of undying pain.

Poets have a way with words. This 'poet' will be missed.

[Askel5]

His gain is certainly our loss.

Thanks for posting the thread.

LOOKING OVER SOME OF HIS LATEST POSTS:

"Congress Targets the Patriot Act ^

I have nothing to hide.

You are missing the point of the "act" and that is you are agreeing to place unlimited power in the
hands of strangers whom you think will do what's right and that is abject foolishness.

Perhaps, just perhaps, this administration won't invoke section 802 Clause A, B & C against
Americans, but, the fact remains they signed this into law without one moment of Congressional
discussion, therefore, they are suspect as to their true intentions as far as I'm conscerned. How
would you like to be held incommunicado indefinitely if someone were to bring false charges against
you?

The New World Order is not that far away from coming to fruition. Just look at all the international
groups we are members in:

1: The International Atomic Energy Agency;
2: The Internation Labor Organization,
3: The Food & Agricultural Organization,
4: The International Development Association;
5: World Health Organization;
6: The International Finance Corporation
7: The International Monetary Fund;
8: The International Civil Aviation Organization;
9: The International Postal Union;
10: The International Telecommunications Union;
11: The World Meteorological Association;
12: The Intergovernmental Maritime Consultive Organization
13: The General Agreement On Tariffs & Trades a/k/a GATT
14: The International Bank For Reconstruction &
Development a/k/a The World Bank
15: The United Nations Educational, Scientific & Cultural
Organization a/k/a/ UNESCO
16: The World Trade Organization a/k/a/ WTO


Do you see the pattern? How far away is the New World Order? The only thing that remains to bring
it forth is politicians whom you trust to willingly give up our sovreignty. Far Fetched? I think not.

I am not a fan of the aclu, however, if I happen to agree with their position relative to the obscene
"act", then, so be it.

Congress Targets the Patriot Act ^

On News/Activism ^ 11/18/2003 10:51 AM EST #6 of 12 ^

"Why?"

Why? Because it is a naked grab for power by the gov't to stifle future dissent and criticism of gov't
policy(s).

It has nothing whatsoever to do with patriotism. The acronym is a not so clever use of semantics to
fool people (you know the ones, those who want cradle to the grave security from Big Brother). It
means Providing Appropiate Tools Required to Intercept & Obstruct Terrorism! In fact, the original
acronym was USAPA which added Uniting & Strengthening etc.,.

Instead of restricting the liberties & freedoms of Americans, the gov't should CLOSE our borders.
Short of doing that, thers is no real "war" on terrorism, rather, it is a selective "war".

If you want to read the pros & cons of this monstrous law, do a Google search.

End of rant.

Polarization of voters ^

"We do need political upheaval however"

I know you mis-directed your #7 to me, however:

IMO, what we need is polarization that places Constitutional Conservatives in one party and
Liberals/ Moderates/Neo-Conservatives in one party.
Having a mix of political philosophies in parties allows a takeover of a given party as has happened
to the republican party and democrat parties.

In the republican case we have "pretend" conservatives and in the democrat party we have a
takeover of the leadership by leftists/socialists. In both instances, they spend, spend, spend & tax,
tax, tax except the neo-cons give us an occasional cookie of small tax breaks, but, on the whole, all
we get from both parties is "crumbs".

Consider the obscene NEW spending of the administration and their acceptance of the democrat's
domestic aganda, i,e,; Their "Education" bill, Adding new airport security personnel (more than
60,000 New employees) on the taxpayers backs instead of turning it over to private enterprise, the
acceptance of the dem's positions of giveing lawbreakers amnesty and citizenship, their silence on
California's driver licenses for illegals, etc,. etc.,.

Bottom line, we have Different names, Different approaches, Same results. Here in Kaleefornia, the
"conservatives" abandoned their announced "core beliefs" and voted for a guy who is diametrically
opposed not only to their supposed core beliefs, but, also the Republican Platform, just so they
could have a victory. Can you say, political whores?

It's the Future danger of Section 802 which has no expiration date. This obscenity in the hands of
clinton types as respects the conjunctive clauses 5A, 5B (i) & (ii) and C that poses this danger. And
yes, I have read the act and also other opinions by doing a Google search.

Only people who want "security" at any cost accept this act because a republican signed it into law.
If the lowlife clinton had done it, well, you know the mantra.

FYI, the original acronym was USAPA. It was changed to "patriot" to give it the impression that it
had something to do with patriotism which is does not! Here is what the "patriot" acronym means "
Providing Appropiate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism", clever use of semantics
don't you think? As for the meaning of USAPA, add Uniting & Strengthening, etc,;.

There are legal scholars who say all that had to be done was to add "domestic terrorism" to existing
law, therefore, this draconian law is not needed. Finally, in view of the fact that to date we have still
NOT locked down our borders, do you really believe there is a "war" on terrorism or is the word
being being used selectively? Why is Saudia Arabia getting a free ride? Only when our borders are
closed will I believe there is a real War on terrorism.

I leave you with the following quote:

"The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false-face for the urge to rule it."-- H.L. Mencken"
