You held my energies my heart beating in alignment with yours;
Yours truly, displeasures you corrupted your body pure;
I love you in spite of your imperfections your reckless cover;
Self-destruction callous ignoring your inter life’s beauty;
I care for you deeply, though you bring me demeaning;
You won’t stop yourself destruction ways;
You won’t stop misbehaving so I’ll just love you away ALWAYS!

New York state is paying 20 cents for gloves that normally cost less than five cents, $7.50 for masks that normally go for 50 cents, $2,795 for infusion pumps that normally cost half that, $248,841 for a portable X-ray machine that typically sells for $30,000 to $80,000.
Who's pocketing all this? An array of producers, importers, wholesalers and speculators. State laws against price gouging usually don't apply to government purchases.
Some of it may be finding its way into this fall's election campaigns. The veteran Republican fundraiser Mike Gula and Republican political operative John Thomas just started a company selling coronavirus testing kits, personal protective equipment and other "hard to find medical supplies to beat the outbreak". They call themselves "the largest global network of Covid-19 medical suppliers".
Asked how he'd found such equipment, Gula explained: "I have relationships with a lot of people."
Thomas added: "In politics - especially if you're at a high enough level - you are one phone call away from anybody in the world."
God’s Kingdom will advance in spite of a crisis
The Kingdom of His SON will MOVE FORWARD
A crisis cannot block the work of the Kingdom
We live by faith and allow the UNSEEN to affect the seen!
Heaven influences our environment so that
God the FATHER receives all the GLORY
A crisis is not permanent
The Lord Jesus Christ is PERMANENT
He is the Alpha and the Omega
We look to Jesus in the midst of a crisis
God’s Kingdom will advance in spite of a crisis
The Kingdom of His SON will MOVE FORWARD
A crisis cannot block the work of the Kingdom
The death of Jesus presented a crisis but
God the Father in the midst of a crisis
Showed us the POWER of RESURRECTION
We are allowed to have a crisis because EARTH needs HEAVEN
Heaven influences our environment so that
God the FATHER receives all the GLORY
God’s Kingdom will advance in spite of a crisis
The Kingdom of His SON will MOVE FORWARD
A crisis cannot block the work of the Kingdom

Goin Narcissist on the Narcissist
Maybe I'm a Masochist
This is What you Wanted
You asked for this
Couldn't Resist
Left to Reminisce
Just End It
The Way I feel is Irrelevant
Negligent
Malevolent
Assist You in My Own Abuse
Let Me Help You Tie The Noose
Nothing Left To Lose
Too Late to Call a Truce
Chunk The Duce
I Swear on God
I Will Survive
I Will Be Fine
I Will Go On
In Spite Of You
No reason to complain, us North American dudes
We've even got wives with nice bums and boobs
Ten little kids running around
My aching head surely pounds
But in spite of the mayhem I'm still in a great mood
~So sad and depressed
My ferment notions
Botch up emotions,
realized I'M BLESS~

Oh, everybody should in spite of past
mistakes and woes and tears and lonesome screaming
discover once again Pandora's chest
to free the Hope for our gloomy being.

He started out overly solicitous and sweet.
After he captured his heart, he began to dictate.
In spite of his meanness she retained herself.
He secluded her away from her family friends
Taking away all support of any kind.
In spite of his meanness she retained herself.
She stayed eleven years and six days
Trying to become the person he needed, but finally left.
In spite of his meanness she retained herself.
WONDER IN THE DESSERT OH SON OF MAN
PROSPER FROM THE TOILS OF TY WORK
SEEK TREASURE
THAT EXTRACT FROM THY SOILS
LINGER OH DOER OF WORK
SING ME IN SCOREFUL
WELL WRITTEN SONG
SING OF LOVE
SING WHETHER IT RIGHT
OR IT WRONG
SPEAK OF CONVERSATIONS
THAT HAVE PERFECT RESOLUTION
IN EARNEST OF LOVERS
SPEAK IT'S CONCLUSION
SNG ME OH RIGHTFUL
AND I SHALL
MAKE YE LOVED
SING ME RIGHT
AND I WILL BE YOURS
FROM FRIEND
TO FIANCE
TO HUSBAND
MAKE ME YOURS
REST WITH THE RIGHTEOUS
UNSINGLED OF COURSE
pleasant lovingly
a menacing girlfriend calls
despite the pebbles
shining lovable
a toss, active sticks throwing
in spite of the stones
horrible break-up
now no longer together
despite the pebbles

What if God is the
Universe
Not something separate
and distinct
But the Universe
itself
Eliminating the dual
notions
Of Creation and
Intelligent Design
Insuring our divinity
as part of the whole
Insuring our divinity
—in spite of ourselves
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)
In all of the madness,
I forgot to say you fill
me with much gladness.
The world can be really loud,
being with you makes me proud.
You continue to give me shelter
from the pouring rain,
without you I’d go insane.
Loving you has been pure joy,
we met when you were a boy.
Everyday our friendship grows,
and my heart for you just glows.
As we both approach our twilight hour
just know our bond has never gone sour
I will love you until the very end,
my sweet lover and best friend.

In spite of my pain
In spite of my heart ache
In spite of my tears
In spite of my fears
In spite of the unknown
of this crazy world we live in.
I love you
In spite of the sleepless night
In spite of the disappointing days
In spite of my sickness
I still Love you.
T-ill the end of time,
R-emain faithful and steadfast,
I-n spite of trials.
C-omplete the great race
I-n life set by the Lord God,
A-s you obey Him.
