Jill just purchased Universal Christ for me.
We will be reading it in our virtual Bible
Study class on Thursday mornings.
Universal Rehearsal With A Dispersal
was universal
when we had a rehearsal
then a dispersal
great songs supplying
singing was death defying
chorus started crying
with much style and grace
up from storm ourselves did brace
By water beach would lace
poem we want to find
so sincere with peace of mind
by God which was signed
down we both were bogged
while water did fall on log
became water logged
when I went to mass
by God did let my sins pass
had caught a big bass
always were afraid
when through water had to wade
by God for me made
is from VMI
was always my kind of guy
is on short supply
Dispersal of Rehearsal
was universal
when he had a rehearsal
biden dispersal

Child Dispersal
Polygamy we openly denounce or loath
while promiscuity we commit at will.
Should Retribution be borne in both
why the last we spurn with inflated zeal?
Scattered children teem universal
while we all agree that a few is better.
Are we to subscribe to this dispersal
and not agree to observe the later?
*
Public truth is cankered with overt risk;
an honest preacher is easily blamed.
Yet, an Impostor who is stiff and brisk
"Greatest One," is vaunted or named.
Man Folks who look straight to observe
in both, Fidelity they cannot detect
Wherefore if both Honour fail to deserve
condemn both with utter disrespect.
*
Children are bound to suffer the most
Where we "say" this and then "act" that
Humanity pays Life's unbearable cost
where mankind asks not why or what.
Misfortune in Babies of Snake's eggs
is being abandoned 'fore being hatched
Worst, they are then born with no legs
on the patched Earth to be stretched!

Ominous fear, hate of formless things,
squirms unbidden
to the surface of an unboxed grave
worming its way upward.
Fear not
are worms not of God?
Give shape the formless fears.
Disperse the miasma.
Confront the horror,
known and unknown
for are they not all creations of God?
Drive forward on butterfly wings
leave the cocoon of fear
the worms discontent.
Free mind and spirit
from the villains of despair
let sunshine flow
through the arteries of man.
