To Cease Increase Police

for all crime to cease
need to hire more police
so they will increase

as i am aging
year after year engaging
war against waging

up emotion built
while we had watched ourselves wilt
caused by greed and guilt

putin do deplore
has a head which seems so sore
dull and a big bore

was known to imbibe
how putin would you describe
evil and connive

has short fuse and stem
for world problems we blame him
while haughty and grim

had started to search
then God did give me a church
with tress oak and birch

even though may be brief
took a short sigh of relief
from the sin and grief

when God would consent
we always knew what he meant
that we should repent

Faith has a way of allowing us to make sense of the world. Without it... we are lost. Have a great day my friend.

Say high to Bishop Michael Curry for me.
