Oh Come Immanuel
Oh Come, Oh Come Immanuel,
For we have recreated hell,
We’ve made our world a place of greed,
And church is time to argue creed,
We need you now Immanuel,
Not later, not soon, but now,
For we cannot decipher how, to live together in harmony,
Rise up in us Immanuel,
Rise up in me so I meet see,
The beauty of your progeny,
So

The Tears of Immanuel
Shall we then accede
to this awkward demise
is it our last sacred calling
while our eyes are fixed to the prize
to feel ourselves falling
while redemption stays just out of reach
all the beauty we are
passing just beyond the clasp
of our fingertips
erstwhile it seems
this is the only perception we have
Shall we weep then for each other
with

Kant Always Be Truthful
To lie’s always wrong, Kant decreed.
Very few were convinced by his screed,
Seeing if he’d instead
Held a gun to their head,
They’d have shamelessly said they agreed.

Kant and Buddha Meet Karma and Immanuel
Kant and Buddha meet Karma and Immanuel
There underneath the fertile soil rests a karmic message
Hewn into marble stone or written on a lonely cross
Engraved or burnt on the Ganges maybe thrown from
Life’s ultimate journey mixing with a circuitous path
Immanuel’s bible or Kant’s starry skies and moral law
Foment consensus of what’s left when we demise

Immanuel, God With Us
Conceived by the Holy Spirit,
To a virgin He was born;
Worshipped by Magi from the East;
With costly gifts adorned.
He was born in the little town of
Bethlehem,
Just as was prophesied.
A baby sent from heaven—
God’s salvation plan espied.
The baby was called Jesus,
Just as the angel had instructed;
The one and only Son of God;
His child, He protected.
King Herod
