A man's lot is not for a woman to...

In opposition they criticize all that is wrong
and all that is good, according to their agenda.
They put clogs in wheels, aided by defiant unions
and often bringing the country to a standstill
with senseless strikes and organized protests.
Mud is thrown at government and individuals;
much of it sticks;...

Man,
The self proclaimed genius,
Figuring out the best way to build a campfire,
And then announcing to the stars
That he is on equal footing with the gods....

Red Wall 

Give they money and ask me to bring 
Some tools, tables, chairs or ladders 
Near to the red wall with fine pieces of art

To make them strong they are required food 
And to make them...

“Jesus loves the little children 
All the children of the world:
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in God’s sight…
Jesus loves the little children of the world.”

Our kids’ Sunday School chorus 
reverberates with this simple message:
love of God for and to all He created

The Candlemaker’s Office 
     was sparsely filled. 

The worn brass door knob —
     a patina 
     countless hands

I wish to wake up and see a new world,
I wish to wake up and see a new system,

from dormant dream...

no time to be cautious...

She moved my pen and made it dance the tango
She spoke to my restrictions and whispered let go
Unknowingly she gracefully inspired me
Igniting a passion gently yet forcefully
No wall could withstand her might

A new world,
A new home for all,
Everyone on equal footing,
Even distribution of resources,
None needs necessities,
I’m not held by the pangs of hunger,
My brother doesn’t dwell in shanties,

by sicknesses and diseases,
Crime and hostility 
do not lurk around the corner,
We don’t indulge...

Trapped in the open, we are free within,
Free from the troubles around,
Free from the troubles that beset,
We stand here unfettered and unchained,
A pristine world where the

We are not saddled with...

no one knows just who we are
nor do they know the part
that we play in life's shopping cart

you...
