As a cloak, it protects—a barrier of sorts,
A safeguard, like umbrellas to rain.
A breastplate not worn; a mask unadorned
A rampart-type bulwark, restrained.
Initially triangular, now morphed to encircle,
An offensive Vibranium guard—THAT DEFENDS!
Red, white, & blue armor, plated to sparkle.
Ensuring swift justice, as a means to an end.
Captain America’s shield is a symbol,
For times when character wanes.
An instrument of warfare—that's nimble,
Serving good wrapped in villainous chains.
The shield defends freedom,
And the American way.
An armored symbolic medium,
Dispersing the evil of human decay.
Submission to Robert James Liguori poetry contest: Captain America's Shield
July 25th, 1996 tied the Gordian knot,...
(I spent noose cents)
begot deux daughters, the major events
both since flew cuckoo's nest,
the eldest angry at papa for offense
sieve behavior fatherly bond
forever sundered permanent rents
unforgiving progeny vents
bile, explosive vitriol whence...
Aye yen for bachelorhood every
now and again doth mildly abate
after saying "I do...,"
when axed by justice of peace
nearly two dozen years wedded
bull hissing, rest assured
I will abbreviate
encapsulate, fulminate, narrate...
and forthrightly admit,
yours truly oft times
yearned to abdicate
spousal unbridled warfare and injustice
reason enough to abnegate
null and void husbandry role
ex post facto finding thyself
questioning pledging troth even
Frosty the snowman would abominate
to say "screw this -
marriage nut for me"
bolt in a huff boot (dang)
ne'er did absquatulate
altercations that adhere
to rule of physics
and tended to accelerate
as muzzled, neigh saying saddled
former groom did
lament and accentuate
his physical needs,
she did not accommodate,
cuz this solitary soul
(with good n plenti horse sense),
never did fully acculturate
with female species,
one whose blunt cold front
seemed to accumulate growing
gripe list bestowed courtesy this mate
tit for tat wrathful pitiless,
(not so cherry) feedback unmatched
within annotated coupled courtship of fools,
this scrivener with steely
iron maiden breastplate,
nonetheless did rack up and accumulate
battle scars hitting bullseye,
since donned with
corrective vision spectacles
hen pecking, needling termagant
untameable shrew did acerate
(worse fate than death -
validated by grim reaper)
avowed covenant thru torturous years
exponentially punishing innocent soul
(slightly biased) did acervate
popping one after
another over the counter acetylsalicylate,
no ampule adequate
to relieve permanent suffering,
thus lifetime electric shock treatment,
nsync quaffing prescription
kool aid battery acidulate
ineffective to activate
palliative, and restore
liberty (yeah) sense and sensibility
subsequently providing freedom
against further wifely scourges
whereby Doctor Phil Ander
refused to adjudicate,
perhaps understandable why I advocate
selfless mercy killing (euthanasia)
for this urbane country bumpkin.
November 16 Scripture Meditations Based on Ephesians 5-6
Key Verse – Ephesians 6:11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

In ancient times when knights were bold,
They dressed in armor, so we're told.
When they went out to face their foe,
Their armor protected them head to toe.
Christians we must do the same,
Or be struck down by Satan's aim.
His flaming arrows fly all around,
Intending to knock us to the ground.
So put on God's armor without delay,
We need His protection everyday.
For our struggle is not against what we can see,
But the powers of darkness are our enemy.
Stand firm then and dress with all haste,
Start with truth buckled 'round your waist.
Satan fights dirty by spreading lies,
But the belt of God's truth will make us wise.
Next is the Breastplate of Righteousness,
That God provides for all who are His.
It's the righteousness of Christ covering you,
That the evil one cannot stand up to.
Now cover your feet with the readiness of,
Sharing God's gospel of peace and love..
Take the Shield of Faith and keep it near,
To deflect Satan's arrows of confusion and fear.
Place the Helmet of Salvation firmly on your head,
It will keep Satan's lies from filling you with dread.
He wants to make you doubt your salvation is sure,
But the helmet will guard your mind and keep you secure.
Your armor is complete, but now you need a sword,
So take the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of the Lord.
God's Word is sufficient to defend or attack.
With God's Word in your heart you can hold Satan back.
With your armor in place and your Sword in your hand,
Be strong in the Lord and in His power stand.
And pray in the Spirit at all times and all ways,
Cause the enemy trembles when Saints start to pray!
Based on Ephesians 6:10-18
Who’s Flirting With Whom
A dangerous game this flirting.
Removing the breastplate
lowering the defenses
playing the jester.
Approaching the fully armed,
seeking a weakness in their defenses
toying with rebuke, rejection
stumbling over words.
“Is that your dog?”
“Does he want ketchup
with my calf?”
“No, but he is partial to fries.”
She gave me her number,
offered to pay any medical bills.
I gave her my number,
offered to take her out for fries.
The dog snarled and gave me that
back off buddy look.
The ER nurse said that I had very nice legs
the scarring would be minimal.
She intimated that the grey at my temples
accentuated the flecks of gold in my eyes.
I blushed.
She gave me her number.

many of us are living lives of deficiency
not functioning at our full capacity
running on a tank that is half full
coasting in a life that's tired and dull
we make it through each week but only by a hair
TGIF, thank God Friday is now here
we're talented beings who have it going on
but none of that matters if we don't pass the baton
to move to the next level we need to realize
that all the gifts we get from God need to be maximized
to move to the next level take someone along
to making 2008 great by passing the baton
God has an anointing for each of us
God has an appointing for each of us
and despite what it is we think of ourselves
God is the medicine for our spiritual health
so fall down on your knees and to Him submit
going to the next level with a renewed spirit
all you have to do is give God all the praise
going to the next level elevated and now raised
living up to your full potential and no longer stalling
going to the next level by answering your calling
anointed, appointed now it's time for preparation
so let God guide you to your chosen destination
as all things work together for the good
for those whom love the Lord as they should
going to the next level by letting God use you
passing the baton and lighting someone else's fuse
the devil will give you hell so just hold on
as the army of God is on the horizon
the devil will attack your children and your heirs
just stay prayerful for God's Angels will appear
when the Philistines went out on a battle patrol
they were unaware that the new king was under God's control
down on his knees King David did pray
that God would give him the victory that day
the power of prayer is the manifest
that you trust God to answer your request
the power of prayer is more than happenstance
it's the belief that God will change your circumstance
to be placed by the Spirit in a position to stand and fight
for what you believe in and what you know is right
to put on the full battle armor of God
to put your enemies on alert and on guard
donning the Helmet of Salvation and carrying the Shield of Faith
feet shod in the Gospel of Peace and wearing a Righteous Breastplate
to know that God has already claimed
the victory for you in Jesus' name
so continue making it great in 2008 as the legacy lives on
on the next level at your full potential while passing the baton
When coming face-to-face with the enemy,
Be sure to be equipped for the violent fray.
The proper armor is a necessity,
If you are to live to fight another day.
When the foe’s hot, deadly darts of fire are hurled,
None can pierce the spiritual armor worn.
The shield of faith and the sword, God’s word unfurled,
Will protect from evil’s mortal threat and scorn.
The strong armor of faith shields the believer.
It will not fail, though the battle will be fierce.
Stand firm and steadfast against the deceiver,
Be a faithful servant; God will provide rest.
Wear the belt of truth and salvation’s helmet,
The breastplate of righteousness around the waist,
And feet of zeal for the gospel add credit.
Outfits the Christian for a most sacred quest.
And so that I might live a life free in the wind
His blood shed so that my life can begin
Not clouded full of sin
When we wear the salvation
Of all of Gods creation
Then there is no mistaken or forsaken
What Satan has surely taken
He spends all of his time making us weak
Though we seek to keep our feet on the ground
With the love, we have found in You
We learn not stand around
With the truth wrapped like a great crown
The breastplate of righteousness in place
For all peace to find its way
Standing your ground knowing you have found
Such a sound place in God
Our faith in his promise is what sets us free
This would be what God wants
All his children to believe
As we receive our direction
When we place our faith in everything
He teaches you and me
We must all stand strong
As we learn to get along
Never let Satan get in front of you
He will do anything to spring bad taboo
This is so true
As he wants to steal your soul from you
He does not care what kind of despair
He just wants to get a flair
To makes us believe that we do not care
But when we wear the helmet of salvation
As we make our way through all of Gods creation
Making it impossible for Satan
To take any life that we might see
Now that the Lord Almighty
Has given us the key that set us free
As long as we agree we can stand our ground
Cause Satan could not pound my soul from me
Not as long as God lives through everything
We believe to be
Just like the bible has taught us to see
1: Draw your sword in your house, with your thumb over your index finger, and plunge it into the wall to test your might
2: Put on the armour of God, with the tight belt of truth and the breastplate of righteousness without fright
3. Do not focus on only one object, but keep all things in your cloudless mind and in your eyes’ natural sight
4. Have a position without a position, so your sword will not be in a position confined
5. Examine your terrain, your earth of faith, water of hope, air of love, and light of gnosis. Keep these things in mind
6. Control the situation, guide your vices to a corner where they are confined and you are free
7: Have the piercing sun behind you, blinding Yaldabaoth, and giving your soul a clear-cut view of the world to see
8: When unsureness clouds your opponent, strike with lightning, without moving flesh or fixing your sight
9. Stomp his sword quickly with thunder for divine victory, when you see the pattern. Do this without any fright
10. Do this, and become one who shatters Yaldabaoth’s misty strength without raising your sword, or your might
