Some Want Him Dead






Alas, God, they want you dead!
Your preachers, your Bible,
make them see red.
,
They will only listen to the 
mermaid's call.
Or to oddballs bewailing the
earth's curtain call.
.
Blind as bats hitting the wall,
Any doomsday saying, they
believe it all.
.
No understanding that man did 
not create nor rules this earth.
But the howling against God
is a mistaken dirth.

And arrogant humans, to you, God,
will never bend a knee.
But out in the garden, many do.
Adoring and loving a tree?

Now Trump has something in common with God Himself! LOL. Wouldn't want to be in Trump's shoes these days---or any days. We're not the same size anyway. Blessings, Panagiota. :) Gershon

Not me~ in Trumps shoes? No chance. I could not handle such stress nor take the slings and arrows he gets. He has chutzpah plus. Imagine the alternative in November~omg! That will never fly...a train crash. Panagiota xx

Hellooo..Anne-Lise. And what a touching comment. Merci, my friend! I am having a lovely weekend. Californians cannot go anywhere but to grocery, pharmacy, gas or MD. We can take walks but not within six feet of each other. I can sit on my deck and take photos of blooming flowers!)) Life in the USA 2020. All churches over 50 have closed doors. No news on here on purpose. Panagiota xx
