in ways that are detrimental to life
on the planet
and to how we live."

Yin: Science and conscience
are discovering and uncovering important health wealth:
We are degenerating...

Cherishing a man child
Holding only just a little while

Redeemer in her loving arms
Infant boy radiating charms

Savior of mankind is born
The angels announce one dark morn

Mary pondered each day
As supernatural began display

Son of God, her son

Love, God's love came down
Opposing satan's evil ground


Victory, oh victory is...

If we leave, 
we in turn will be left behind.
Some call it growth
some call it the karmic path of life.

We used to care for our elders
now there quickly tossed aside
to live alone in bluish silence
or with indifference by their side.

They have a million stories and...
