A New Gospel
Drugstore parking lots these days are far
more crowded than houses of religion!
And with more people suffering legions
of physical and mental problems, are
we justified to ask the question with a chill:
has the modern pill become the new gospill?

Grammar As Some See It
If only grammar were simplified
we then could speak uncriticized.
Or, if grammar were abandoned
we’d all be speaking standard.
Think how easy it would be
to speak flawed yet naturally,
and not worry that what we say
is the right or proper way.
The purist will of course object
and castigate me as a derelict,
arguing that ungrammatical English
is speech reduced to gibberish.
But...

Bread
Flour, water, salt, and yeast
these basic ingredients at least
were for generations the staple
of bread eaten at the table.
To these basic natural four
have been added many more
“ingredients” whose description
might pass for a prescription!
Pharmaceuticals will justify
chemicals to keep the food supply
longer on the shelves, while you and I
suffer bodily effects by and by!
And have you ever tried...

Life's ExampleMany think life is living the riches
Their heart finds love but never satisfaction
Living society, where does one find peace
Among their heart, forgotten how to love
Nature of existence, bond in unity
We obligate our priorities to material world
Our souls buried with ancestors we walk
Like lost generation ruled unto themselves
Life...

WordsWords are soft or words are cold,
Words reject or words can hold.
They can warm the heart and free the soul,
Or wound a person and make a hole.
They can teach a world and build a nation,
Or cause a war and desolation.
To keep from wandering blindly,
Choose your words and use them wisely....

A Confession
To soften his adolescent growing pains
he was encouraged (can’t recall by whom)
to take up painting – to make a name
for himself, they said. When that failed,
and miserably, he took up drinking
which he likened not to a godsend,
rather to a bodily need and calling.
And so it was, for in little time
he...

A Version of MeThere is no strength in fear and flame,
naught but the bitterness of blame,
which leads us all to guilt and shame,
finger pointing and naming names.
Better still our hearts to open,
forgive and live with hope and
honest emotion,
a chain of grace unbroken,
positive words to be spoken,
and put our heart into motion.
Easier though to give anger it’s head,
to wish...

The Classless JealousyJealousy is not the portion of the unsuccessful alone;
even the prosperous are consumed with envy.
Jealousy is not the lot of the poor;
even the wealthy are corrupted with spite.
Jealousy is not the flaw of the worldly alone;
even the religious carry it behind sacred veils.
Jealousy is not the preserve of the unlearned;
even the educated are not spared...
