200 Cattle Egrets
I
If I could share this picture with you
I would, my dear writers, Beloveds -
Because Earth births us again & again
Long after burial, giving back, post-death
Nature in majesty: birds at play in scores
II
I see egrets commute to & from, my abused lake,
Here where plastic is king, adorning flora
Even fauna, sewers overflow, trash at waters edge
But egrets,

Prayer With Real Gratitude
Have you ever prayed, and just after doing so, saw a danger looming?
I prayed the psalms at dawn, at four hours after midnight
My usual time during the Corona Virus, the global pandemic, -
To arise and intercede for nations, relations, family, hospitalizations
The Bible says, "God is faithful, even when we are not!"
Yes, I have come to

The End
Walls of greet
Showcase of power
Artificial island
And nuclear shower
ALL has an end
Even stars do fall
Can you bear the cry?
Can you keep head tall?
Fight for land
Fight for oil
Fight for economy
Fight till die
But all in all, we all just die...

The Time Is Now To Come Together Coexist
Heads in the street that cry out social justice. We got women's liberation heading out across the nation. Killing's in war zones we call school's. Handing out condoms demanding abortion on demand. No one hurts no one has a voice ? Ever more determined to bring people together now more then ever. The Aheist, Agnostic,

Coexist
I choose to exclude the noise outside when I'm sitting within the confines of my home. The ambience that the world portrays outside of my space presents itself as a chaotic nuisance. So many speak of 'necessary evils' within the world. Yet I find the entirety of it to be quite 'unnecessary.' What evil exists,

We need to get back to the basics of love
Sent down from the higher power from above
Let' s pray for the fallen mighty men of ore
For those who are gay, straight or any other
For my over weight brother from another mother
Those of the pentecostal, baptist & catholic faith
Some may

Sweet and sour,
Every minute of every hour,
Build up my confidence,
Before it devours.
Breaking me apart,
By piecing together my heart,
For there is this rumor,
My soul is brutally scarred.
But..is it really a rumor?
It's augmented like a tumor,
It transcends through space,
All crystallized and lunar.
For all the insane recollections,
Remembrance of my intuitions,
They say, “Follow your yellow brick road”,
Why do I

Today I shed a tear for us
because it breaks my heart knowing
that we will stand up for hate and tragedy
but can't see the blasphemy that's right in front of us in the country
you see they call the radicals terrorist
because their ears are no longer plugged
and polluted with this poison

Yesterday I did some reading on the human genome
Within each of us are 23 pairs of chromosomes
All composed of adelaide, cytosine, guanine, and thymine
By all, I mean every living thing: flowers, trees, birds, bees, you, and me
Our differences lie in the innumerable sequences of: A, C, G, and T
All life is one, bacteria is your

Coexist With Tolerance
Confidence on this subject can be
Overrated; too many people are misunderstood
Everyone needs to live and let live
X-tend to others equality
If we all take a stand for good and
Stop bullying and prejudice
Tolerance can be taught
All bullies cease destruction, eventual future greatness, however; I just know. Let
me never offer prejudice, quietly remember stories told. Understand variation
when

I’d rather build bridges and tear down a wall
Why do people hate what they don’t know
Life’s too short not to coexist with all
In a ‘Religious War’ the good only fall
An oxymoron of thought so low
I’d rather build bridges and tear down a wall
The three main faiths answer Abraham’s call
Christians and Muslims and Jews should show
Life’s
