Ol' honest Abe,
Is turning over in his grave.
While Donnie & his clan,
Continue to misbehave.
I think it's fair to say,
That the GOP is long gone.
Overtaken by MAGA sheeple,
Well beyond wrong.
Traveling along a path
That impeached & indicts.
As the courts are left to judge,
Any remaining rights.
Testing foundations of democracy,
Like its never been before.
The world watches the drama,
Like reality TV, it can't ignore.
Yet from my view I can see
Almost too many crimes.
That will burden the
Judiciary, multiple times.
In the end, will convictions
Return justice to those in need?
And the people retain their power,
To nullify the greed.

The starting point is one:sixteen
God’s power through faith foreseen
One:seventeen’s righteous decree
Salvation by faith is the key
Three:twenty-three indicts us all
Sin’s “glory of God” shortfall
Four:three is Abraham’s lead
Faith the only righteous deed
Five:eight provides a Substitute
Sin had left us destitute
God’s love delivered up His Son
The payment for sin is done
Sidestep death in six:twenty-three
Eternal Life in Christ is free
No condemnation in eight:one
Never separated from God’s Son
Ten:nine-and-ten is the TNT
“Salvation power for faith in Me”
With your mouth you confess it
With your heart you accept it
“Believe My promises” in ten:thirteen
Jesus Christ our go-between
Faith in Him the only condition
For Kingdom of God admission

Death indicts you
seasons past
prophets marking

Sued three times…
your wrath indicts
Prostate, throat,
and kidney cites
Each time you threatened:
“This is the end”
I wasn’t ready,
mistried again
I kept my counsel
and shut you out
The jury hung
to scream and shout
Your will or mine,
it’s zero sum
I still live on
—three verdicts shunned

Victim of passion,
purveyor of lies
Betrayer of talent,
bending the I
Captive obsession,
perspective now gone
Fear self-indicts
—when right turns to wrong

Holding in her arms
A Starving child
His frail emaciated body
Bloated with hunger,
Indicts a world of greed.

Clawed eyes bleeding the red acid of tears
Anguished hearts with piper's music in their ears
Pleasures throves of greed and selfishness
Indicts our vision of the citadel's shining
Towards a better promise of togetherness.
Anxieties mounts against Babel's towers rising
Lattitude to pain, when will the chrysallis from
Imago change again to butterfly
Ships can dare, but captain beware this doldrum
Masking the Bermuda Triangle from your eye.
Denial is vain when some have piled more
In worth than life can spend. Something is wrongly
Listed here, more than greed rots at the core
Emotionless, hearts uncreed of empathy
Messianic foundation broken before the towers fell
Mammom cankering the apple with hell
Apathy cannot endure against the ego's fear.
