Just Stating the Obvious
There’s God and there’s the devil
Man’s caught in the middle
Who’s good and who’s evil,

There’s Heaven and there’s hell
More beautiful is the earth
Can anyone otherwise tell,

There’s sin and there’s confession
Then there’s the rule of law
To constraint further transgression,

There’s Koran and there’s Bible
Forget William Shakespeare
Man plays the...

Every new day, the sun will rise.
As time passes, the moon expands.
Reasons to act without surprise.

Every day, the wind brings new ambition.
The river flows into the shoreline.
Every day holds a new lesson.

Every day, a new baby is born.
After nine months of pregnancy.
God promises and bestows adorned.

Stars...

We no longer move in normal ways    
and all this because of Covid 19   
I no longer watch the news these days 
Each day I pray for a simple cure 
but as the numbers climb I realize 
prayer is the...

On this earth, the sun rises in the east
And sets in the west
This cosmic phenomenon can’t be missed.

On this earth, the oceans are tinged blue
From where their water came
They have no clue.

On this earth, to the sea the rivers flow
At the edge of growing delta
New...

Life is a cycle of joys and sorrows 
Ups and downs come and go, sometimes high, sometimes low
Use your todays, don't think of tomorrows 

Failure is the stepping stone to success 
A win requires hard work, something we cannot shirk
Challenges are needed to make progress...

Clear as black and white, they say,
In Occam’s razor slashing terms,
Exempting endless hues of gray.

Despite spotless reputation,
“The Obvious”, on occasion -
Subject to interpretation.

Findings depend on where we look,
How far we venture to explore
Beyond the cover of the book.

The most erroneous of all -
Character sketch at...

When You Die - Just Stating the Obvious Poetry Contest
When you die
You are gone
It's goodbye

No one stays
On this earth
For all days

It is said
Past is past
Dead is dead

Done is done
And for whom?
Everyone

You won't know
When it's your
Time to go

Need I say?
That's the world
That's the way

That's the trade
That's the rule
No one made 

So come on
Live your life
'Fore...

With the cares of every day 
You are so weary 
It is time to pray 

As you pass along life’s way 
Your fondest hopes fade 
It is time to pray 

By the things some people say 
You are so betrayed
It is time to pray 

You...

Television's Funster's 
Two of my favorites 
The Addams Family and the Munster's 

The Honeymooner's- with Ralph and Ed 
Their still on late at night 
Fun to watch- 'fore we go to bed 

The Odd Couple- a comedy treat 
It is certainly odd 
Oscar so messy,...

How fast our childhood goes.
It starts out like a tiny stream,
then like a river flows.

This river which is life
will carry us perhaps to college.
Most become a husband or a wife.

Once married, we want more!
We work and save so we can have
the things that we adore.

Such...

Two eyes I have for God’s works to behold
praying to be spared from cataract
when birthdays would reveal my age is old.

Left and right ears toward comprehending
while learning through special child’s sign language
perceiving his sounds with understanding.

Midst tongue to feast on varied foods, tasteful
and mouth declaring...

Premium Member Dream List - Just Stating the Obvious
Let us build an allied world built with peace
All people joining hearts across the sea
It’s how life on God’s earth was meant to be.

A world that has no animosity
Where love is measured by what’s in one's heart
No secrets to hide, no adversity.

Nothing’s worth war, could...

Each new day, the sun will shine
At night the moon will glow
Some folk aren't genuine 

Each new day, the wind will blow
Babies are born
Plants will grow

Each new day,there’s the rich
There’s also the poor
It's a challenge to find a niche


Each new day, there's the wise
And there's...
