Divorced from our true self, we wandered lost,
oblivious to truth of our being,
looming head-heart divide yet to be crossed,
with whispers of conscience disagreeing.
Trapped thus in a web of desire and fear,
joy in permanence soul sought was denied,
since ego let not love and light draw near,
deeming our waywardness as justified.
God, the dweller of our heart was dismayed,
yet waited for us, His child to awake
always ready to hasten to our aid,
by giving a gentle consciousness shake.
God’s left it to us to change our life’s course,
since touch of love applies no use of force.

the moral landscape changes
with new blood surfacing
amplifying the flaws
inherent
in the collective psyche
my ingrained prejudices
bubble to the surface
harming
my interaction with my fellow man
disagreeing
with my elders
ancient scripts
based upon oral traditions
faithfully handed down
and embroidered upon
to suit the occasion
holding a mirror up to my heart
I had to distil my own truth
I refrained
from looking in the mirror
blaming
the cultural mores
for my current stance
turning a blind eye
to the injustices
and the crime
I must first practice to take the painful plank out of my own eye
before I could judge their truth
I failed to reason with my own

Peace declaration between the Red and the Blue.
Raise our hands and our hearts to The Lord.
Act now, because 'later' will be too late.
Young and old alike must take responsibility.
Forget about who is Red or Blue, Liberal or Conservative.
Opportunity(us) knocks, and God will open the door.
Republicans nor Democrats, but only God can save us.
All the world is watching and waiting; Many are hoping.
Many miscues, missteps, and mistakes have been made.
Every prayer brings us that much closer to civility and God.
Reach out beyond yourselves and into the hearts of others.
'I' is a letter in 'AmerIca' representing you and me.
Cease from criticizing everyone disagreeing with you,
And let us pray that God will have mercy on us all.

Cheeks were meant for kissing
Hands were meant for holding
Ears were meant for listening
Arms were meant for enfolding
Eyes were meant for ogling
Mouths were meant for stuffing
Hair was meant for brushing
Cheeks were meant for blushing
Minds were for manipulating
Knees were meant for kneeling
Bums were meant for bumming around
Thoughts for disagreeing
Feet were meant for walking
Palms were for reading the future
Toes were meant for counting
Common sense is for avoiding bloopers
Tongues were meant for wagging
Sores were meant for rubbing
Eyebrows were meant for raising
But hearts my very very good friends
Hearts were meant for loving

pictures of you
wishes on a forklift
another ordinary day
cannot afford to daydream
pictures of you
extended bathroom break
my cell phone comes in HANDY
cannot afford open eyed wet dreams
pictures of you
reality kicking in after the aftermath
my forklift key drops on the floor like a neglected bell
cannot afford You anyway
Thank God For Disagreeing With Me and For AllWays Being Right

It wasn't easy to see you
As the enemy.
A lot of love replays
In my memory.
I live in the valley of
The Damned.
You ran off with a
One-legged man.
What happened?
Not easy to explain.
I border on the land
Of the insane.
A comfort zone of
Disagreeing.
I didn't see it until
You were fleeing.
Outside things are alive,
Inside I'm dying.
How ed-up,
I stopped trying.
Love destroys the
Mind and soul.
I will never again,
Get to feel whole.
Memories etched
In time.
Forever seared across
My mind.
You were my something
To believe in.
You were the Yang to
My Yin.
I felt every second
Since you're gone.
My music a depressing
Sad country song.
I can't even walk because
Of my hip.
As I rock back and forth,
In a vice-like grip.

As a person trained in Bible and soft sciences, it is necessary - at the risk of disagreeing agreeably - to proclaim Jesus of Nazareth was a real person if one accepts the Bible. Sadly, since Jesus was crucified about 33 AD or C.E., at least 40 messiahs or CHRISTS were accepted by Jewish groups. One Moses of Cyprus led "believers" to drown. More are familiar with Bar Kokbah's false Messianic game. Without the Old Testament & New (both) to guide us, we pretend we ARE the AUTHORITY on Jesus of Nazareth. Christ is a title, "the Anointed One." Hindus like Yogananda taught Christ Consciousness without Scripture. Many false Yoganandas are around today. Watch, pray, READ the Bible yourself. Please (not easy). Or fall for ear-tickling fancies sooner or later. Without the Bible, I am no Jesus disciple.

He is always near
And to some, most dear
Angels declare:
Do not fear
He will be here
But first clear
The ego, your air
Jesus is no fortune clair*

Come, consider his story,
People not used to fear.
He tells a tale
And we entrust him,
But he and his kind,
We simply disgust them.
Prosaic dupes,
(We’re quite the fools)
Praise God as he goes on
And on . . .
. . . and on he tells of glory,
Battles won - in time.
Salute the flagged boxes,
There’s no disagreeing.
Trust in his word.
Praise to his being.
Dim-witted lot,
(We’re quite the fools)
Blood-letting assaults for days
And days . . .
. . . and days transform to years,
Numb to a fall from grace.
Treacherous idols,
Allaying fears
Between each smile,
Count souvenirs.
Addlebrained chumps
(We’re quite the fools)
Selling our souls for a penny a pound.

Guess Who,
One Clue,
Old As Dirt,

Tom’s Opinion
1/13/2021
She preaches forgiveness and promotes divisiveness,
and isn’t plagued In her purpose by indecisiveness.
She’s had years of practice at spewing false claims,
A partisan politician who excels in fanning flames.
Any articles of impeachment she’s not apt to table,
and disagreeing with her, gets some west coast label.
It’s said when she gets mad she can throw a hissyfit,
and even if somethings good she still wouldn’t like it.
If found on her bad side she’s not slow to lambaste,
and like Churchill “she never lets a crisis go to waste.”
She’s like a bulldog in a hay barn taking a breather,
she won’t eat the hay and won’t let others eat it either.

When I try adjusting with situation..
Time is displeasing.
When I attempt being on my own..
People are disagreeing.
When I wish to be near my loved ones..
Circumstances are pushing us to distance.
When I pray to forget baneful incidents..
Memories are un aiding.
When I seek complete relaxation..
Unfinished tasks keeps me slogging.
When I desire revamping my mind..
Inputs are non viable.
When I aim for peaceful life..
Dilemmas encroach me.
When I yearned for liberty ..
Domination incarcerated me.
Time keeps flying in the air..
Cannot be tethered..!!
