The Chinese people invented
the fireworks only for pleasure
not for war; such an invention
led to the amazing creation of the canon,
and Galileo de Galilei used it as an artillery.
I'm thrilled by the colorful fireworks lightening up
America's skies on the Fourth of July,
patriotism or not, it's too awesome
to watch them blast against the star-draped sky..
The Chinese had peaceful intentions
when they invented them in their factories;
I should have been there to feel their
excitement when the first one exploded
and sparkles illuminated their peaceful sky.
Even falling stars can't do what they
splendidly do: to astonish and charm;
crowds gather on anniversaries to celebrate
their national pride, and inside they feel
gratitude for those with an ingenuous mind.

I can not overcome
the problems of the world
but each person
can overcome
their own problems
You can teach
your children to hate
or you can teach
your children to love
you can build war
after war
or build city's
and playgrounds
you can argue
fight and bicker
or build smiles
love and trust
working together
saving together
you can build jobs
for your people
or watch as people
starve and die
you can create wars
create refugees
drive people
from their homes
or work together
to make a better life
you can teach
your children to hate
Americans
teach you children
to become bombs
use your children
as canon fodder
in a never ending war
or build a world
that loves peace
with jobs and hope
for everybody
one man can't
change the world
but each individual
can change themselves
Breathe in,
Jesus my mind is in the valley
I know I’m not lost but it's hard to see
Exhale,
Help me to lean on you
When negative circumstances
Become more comfortable
I’m too comfortable with depression, isolation, and doubt
Having late night conversations about
An end that didn’t end at the cross
Now it's hard to breathe in my daily routine
Arms extended as far as they can reach, help me
I’ve uprooted myself from the vine
To avoid the journey of progress
As if God didn’t have my best interest
Why do I look for other interests outside
Of daily bread and living water
Now I’m adding interests to my debts when they were already paid for
If I only paid more attention to the Vine, my branch would see the Tree
God help me to not protect that parts you want to prune
Despite my flesh I want to be more rooted to you
Plan ahead they say so you can make time to smell the flower things
I’ve never been much of a gardener
However, today I’m planting mustard seeds
So, my confidence can age as Grand as the Canyon
I can finally picture heaven in the palm of my hands with this Canon
Camera, bombing any part of hell in my yesterday that tries to burn my film
Hope used to be a dream then I made my dreams come true
Hope used to slip through my fingers but now I wear it as a cape
Flying over depression, fear, and regret
Stop subtracting from you, thinking to myself
Hope is priceless, you don’t have to play tag with money
That’s why the tag looks out of place in a garden
The highest value holders are free
Salvation doesn’t cost you anything, so;
Plant faith and wake up in a field of dreams
Plant a rose and fall in love
Plant patience and endurance will run past any future
Harmony outlasts pains earthquake
Honor overcomes poisoned endings
And it gives me hope that tomorrow isn’t so bad after all
I don’t always feel super, but Jesus said I can be a hero
p.s. don’t forget your cape…
It was apostolic tradition that the Church discerned writings
To be included in the list of Sacred Books
This complete list is called the canon Scripture
It includes 46 books for the Old Testament
45 if we account Jeremiah and Lamentations as one
The Old Testament is dispensable part of Sacred Scripture
Its books are divinely inspired and
Retain a permanent value
For the Old Covenant has never been revoked
Indeed
The economy of the Old Testament was deliberately so oriented
That it should prepare for and declare in prophecy in the coming of Father Christ
Redeemer of all men
Even though they contain matters imperfect and provisional
The books of the Old Testament
Bear witness to the divine pedagogy of Eternal God’s saving love
These writings are a storehouse of sublime teaching of Eternal God and
Of sound wisdom on human life
As well as a wonderful treasury of prayers
In them
Too
The mystery of our salvation is present in a hidden way
Christians venerate the Old Testament as true Word of Eternal God
The Church has always vigorously opposed
The idea of rejecting the Old Testament
Under the pretext that the New
Has rendered it void (Marcionism.

Rear lee if ever suffices as an apt poetic title
amidst bookish canon - while
this writer (similar to other aspirants
in their respective creative pursuits)
aware arbitrary perusers may deem vile

mentally affix probationary trial
before unequivocally gravitating
toward my genre or signature style,
which unique modality
of expression eventually
accruing some degree of popularity
affecting unseen frown or smile
nonetheless, accepting, enjoying,
and tolerating how I playfully rile
aware that anonymous reader's
patience can wear thin relegating mine
worded persona on par with a reptile
unknowingly breaking fragile bond,
hence she/he might not reconcile
without awareness a valuable kinship,

expansive vocabulary, could
(and/or does) rank as a pile
of unpleasant gluteus maximus
sphincter muscle missile
imposing effort to tone down exuberant,
flamboyant, and gallant mercantile
flashing blindingly exasperatingly,
and inflamingly nauseating vocabulary,
not deliberately juvenile
but this luxe lavish embellishment
a labor of (lost) love with English
Language (inherent since...
in utero), thus...infantile

perhaps even engendering hostile,

Hitler accidentally bombed his nephew's house in Liverpool

A blue whale's tongue weighs more than an elephant
Now, aren't you really glad you tuned in?
There are two hundred million insects for every human
Wouldn't have gone camping if I knowed that!
We weigh slightly less when the moon is directly overhead
Due to the gravitational effect
Too bad the moon doesn't shine all day
100 lightning strikes occur worldwide every second
Stay indoors!!!
Humans grow about 8mm every night while asleep
But revert back to their normal height the next day
Oh so glad, otherwise we'd spend a fortune on new clothes
250 people have fallen off the Leaning Tower of Pisa
Guess they leaned a little bit too much
1 in 28 American school-aged children
Have a parent in either state or federal prison
Holy crap! A really great example to follow
A single healthy human male produces enough sperm
In two weeks to impregnate every fertile woman on the planet
Uh! I volunteer my services... no charge!
Although gold is a heavy dense metal
It is generally considered non-toxic
Gold flakes may even be ingested in foods or drinks
No wonder restaurant meals are so high
Pope Francis once worked as a bouncer in a Buenos Aires bar
“Doing God's work?”
Mozart wrote a canon entitled “Leck mich im Arsch”
Which loosely translated means “Lick my derriere”
Nuff said!!!
Shadowed memories
intermingle with
childhood dreams of
days long past.
Looking back on
the canon of Time
my dance with youth
filled my heart with
happiness
enveloped by the love
of a caring father and mother.
You danced alongside me
for a time
hand in hand
until you let go
feeling unloved
though you never were.
Black moods pulled you
away into a
turbulent tide of
angry undertows
slapping strongly against
love’s strong currents.
You traded an ocean of love
for a desert of discontent
and walked away
alone and apart
and I know not why
dear sister.

May We Make Love At The War Front?
May I Know You While Iron Leads Flies Over Our Heads?
May I Know Why Our Bodies Tangle In The Grass;
Soaked By Bloods, Sweat & Tears Of Soldiers Of Love?
May We Thrust While You Trust Me To Be There With You Till The End.
May We Kiss While Canon Balls Decapitate The Heads Of Men?
Shall I Dip My Stick Of Life In Your Deep Shallow?
May We Tumble & Flip As Men Scream In Pain & Regrets?
May I Burrow My Nails On Your Flesh While War Cries Announces The Beginning Of Massacre?
May We Make Love On The Dead Bodies Of Fallen Men Of Valour?
May I Know You While Men Are Dying For Their Land And Families?
May I Get You Pregnant Whilts We Loosing Our Men?
May I Feel Your Love Tonight Before We Bid Our Farewells?
Another milestone hurdled as we decide to embark on the journey of life together
Forecast predicting bad weather but as long as I have you nothing else will matter
We can get through any storm, and at times it may seem harder than you imagined
You may even ask is this even worth it, or is this bomb about to explode from the canon
Before your mind starts to worry or tears cry any more, let me stop you to say breathe as I hold your hands to apologize
“I am sorry for being selfish and putting my needs before your own, I don’t want it to be this way but habits are hard to break when you are used to being alone…”
Now that I have you, I can’t think of any more beautiful feeling
So, when I get on your nerves remember the good parts of we, and not the bad parts of me
Remember the first time I said I love you and how we were first afraid for a spilt second but then knew everything would be ok
Think about long walks and longer talks on the phone until one of us falls asleep
Go back to when you would smile so big just waiting for my name to pop up on your phone
Picture me kissing your ring finger on purpose years before I got down on one knee
Open your eyes and kiss me
We will have many disagreements but today we agreed on our wedding venue
The Milestone, and as the guide gave the tour, I saw you rushing to arrive because you were a little late
My mind painted a portrait of you getting ready as my forever queen
I saw you walking down the aisle and watched myself try to hold back the tears
I envisioned our last dance and knew this was one feeling similar to what I felt a little after we started talking
I know there will be many more milestones and I am glad I will get to smile through them while looking at you
p.s. there is no milestone greater than our love…
