When evil rules in the heart of men
When evil rules in the heart of men
There's no satisfaction unless they cause death
The mind schemes hurtful and malicious plans
The heart meditates on it's malevolent traps
There is joy in seeing the innocent one suffer
When the heart is embittered with poisoned fervor
When evil in the heart conquers the rational mind
Vestiges of a conscience vanish into space and time
Without that inner voice motivating him to choose good
Only vicious twisted hate filled voices are what's understood
Remorse is not something to be considered, or ever applied
When it's the goodness and humanity inside that has died
No options are left for the mentally tortured and deranged
Although to innocent and decent people it sounds so strange
It's hard for the blameless and right hearted to visualize
How a fellow human being can be radically dehumanized
It's one of those unsolved mysteries that forever will be told
How a youth changed into a serpent whose blood runs cold.

The songbird
Free from being caged
Her melody is beautiful
Because she is no longer afraid
She doesn't sing for your amusement
The songbird does not sing for fame
Oh, she sings for love
Because it can not be tamed
Born wild
Songbirds of all types and colors
Fathers
Brothers
Sisters
Mothers
Beauty deserves to be set free, and
She honored everyone
When that sweet relief
Of freedom hit her wings
When she flew away for the first time
It was a spectacle to see
She perched and landed
Upon a giant sequoia tree
She held no resentment
And the only matter that
She was now captured by
Was her new profound view
The songbird has love in her heart
And that's one thing you can't steal
The music in her voice
Obstructed my fear, she
Began to guide me with her remedy and
I assented, with my mind now clear
It was incredible
The power echoing through her
The enchantment that she showed
Admiring her strength
Tiny in form but beautiful in design
Reminding me that love conquers all
I could feel my sorrows, turn into hope
I had burst with senses of a budding flower, ready to grow
Oh, how hearing her..
Through my layers
She peeled
Oh, how my encounter with her..
Made me feel
Like a songbird, too
They say that love conquers hate
And that good always win in the end
But sometimes I wonder about hate
I always thought that my love
For my wife would last forever
Since I first met my love
Love at first sight
As the girl I was dreaming of for eight years
Flew into my life with such brilliant light
Our love burning as bright as a million stars
Consuming us both in its brilliant flame
As if our love were made of cosmic flames
transplanted from the farthest stars
But true love sometimes turns to true hate
And what was wonderful on that first date
becomes despicable over time
What was once cute on that first date
becomes disgusting as she become our mate
What was once love at first sight
Turns to darkness and resentment
And then full-blown hatred
And nothing but the darkest night
And the light of a million stars
Is replaced by a darkling night
That consumes one’s soul
I look at my wife every dawning day
And see that light is still burning bright
And the momentary darkness
And yes, potential hatred is kept at bay
By the brilliant rays of light
Hatred, resentments dispelled yet again
By the brilliance of our love
That the million suns of love
Are burning yet again
And I pray constantly
To all Gods on our mark
that our love continues constantly
And that our love will conquer the dark
”But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1Corinthians 15:57 of the King James Bible
Vanquishing blight for victor’s flight
My heart is gripped with mother's love
Assisting son’s development height
While he propels himself above.
Optimizing promise of hope
Vanquishing blight for victor’s flight
My patience is stretched with peace-slope
As special child smites spastic blight.
Beholding each milestone delight
My faith trusts God for strength and grace
Vanquishing blight for victor’s flight
Possible upon prayer brace.
Maneuvering wheel chair with zest
My dear son conquers struggling fright
Secured around faith's caring best
Vanquishing blight for victor’s flight.

Consecrated, Solemnly
Each day I submit to you, O Lord,
All my soul and all my being
For, I know you are with and in me
In ev'rything I am doing and serving
When I wake up ev'ry morning, O Lord, each day
Thanks be to You. for watching over me,
You are by my side, always.
In temptation or in uncertainty.
When anxiety and trouble crush down on me
And darkness conquers over my mind and vision
You are the guiding light for me to see,
Shining forth to my direction and destination.
Each day, O Lord, thanks be to You,
All protection, graces, and blessings, you're planting
Into my thoughts, my dreams, and my planning
Into my heart and my ev'rything.
Each day, O Lord, I lift up my pure heart,
And in my soul, my gratitude and sincerity,
My sincere prayer and meditation, to You
The wholeness of me, consecrated, earnestly
Yes, the wholeness of me, consecrated, completely,
To you, in ev'ryday of my lowly life
You gift me love, you gift me wisdom, abundantly,
You gift me vision of eternal light.
Though if my worldly life could span thousand years
Still, how could I repay, O Lord, how could I repay?
For, my life is blessed with Your fullness, always
Like the sun rising in the East each morning
And to the sea, river water longing
For Your sake, O my sweet Lord, I'm conforming
Like flowers blossom, fruit ripens, in the obedience
And from deepest thoughts and prayers, emerge the passion
Carry my cross, following the serving pathway
And all of me, consecrated, solemnly, to You, ev'ryday.
Love conquers all
It's often been said
But recently more now than ever
It's so very obvious
Wherever I turn
Love enters my every endeavour
Always been in love
With the joy of love
Since Janice, my first ever crush
Grade two it was
Remember it well
Her life is filled with love I trust
There's been others
Not that many
A couple have never left my heart
Stayed with this guy
For all these years
Been in love with love from the start
It makes this old world
Keep spinning around
Can you imagine this place without love
I'd cash in my chips
Not worth the effort
Love and friendship go hand in glove
Bothersome
The black kitten on my desks bookshelf
In my poetry meditation is small
Only as the poem
Undiscovered
And without
To push the book down
We will not
Only because you stranded me here
All the writing requests
Is simple socks
And travelling coffee's
Yet spectacles bets
Vetting my mystery netting
Tara took me to school
To find her bonnet
Tara Gendron and Kevin
Go to piano
Read Rupi
Rupi
Tic of knock
As sitting drop
In road tin say
Melting kettle lay
Hat and pat
Greatly treasure sap
Long in ago
Settle bets with go
Stepping Foot
The young limb
Clicks out of water
Grasping the dreary weather
Porcupine painful painting it's sun
The mirror of moon
Conquers the files sands
Landing in return of lust
Teaching the fawning shame
Wood plucking a feathers painting
The romance of wind and winter
Iceberg and seal
Feather behind harp
The foot eats the porcelain fingers
Building the painful yawn
Of concerts
The birds chirp invented from a voided life
Alone ousted without sound
Haunting of meaning
The flying fortress is found
To sound is sound and bound by ground
The harpsichord is hidden
In waters snap
Avoiding the path to sadness
See the path
that never ends...
familiar ways
just like a friend
winding slowly through
ancient memories...
pausing briefly
to disturb my ease
and inner peace...
that was dwelling
in my mind...
takes it's time
walking the path...
to sadness
All my past troubles
they appear...
kill my hope
fill me with fear
Never ending
feelings of despair...
my pleasant dreams
they vanish in the air
and my illusions...
were supplanted by
dark night...
shading my light...
spurring me on...
the path to sadness
And through my haze
I came to see...
God's love was waiting
there for me
He reached out
to me and took
my hand...
helped me face
my fears
and understand...
that all my sorrows...
will all vanish
with my faith...
love conquers pain...
un-paves the path
to sadness.
Now I walk
a path of light...
without darkness
without fright
knowing that
my God is there for me
vanquishing my cares
anxieties
and my life...
has been blessed
with Godly hope...
that helps me cope
Avoid the pain
upon the path...
to sadness.

Be aloof i love loofs
Always apart but never a part
Never a like but somehow alike
Never aligned but destined to follow a line
The tar stars are dripping through the night sky
Words stick like jam between my teeth
Phrases gravitate towards me
Words fall deathly into mud graves and settle
Dying in place
Struggle to find that space where light and dark will never meet
As i stare forward ask me what i see
Not the metal or stone
The seconds counting till the end
The warping space that shapes the all
The scurried ant that conquers tiny foes and woes
I try to see everything
but hide behind myself
There have been at least two people in our church who have committed suicide. A gentleman; a lady; both of whom were more acquaintances than friends. As I recall, their death occurred within a couple years of each other. I know both of their families well and see them often.
Their families are now real friends of my family.
The young lady had two surviving minor children, a boy and a girl who are being well cared for by their grandparents. The gentleman left behind a greeving wife who had also lost a son to drugs less that a year prior. Her husband, the father of the deceased son, overwhelmed by the death of their son, took his life at the son's grave site. It is very difficult to think about, but the surviving wife and mother is such an inspiration.
I have never studied anything about suicide, and have not directly done anything to prevent it. Regular attendees of our church, both parties mentioned above were very loved by their families. Our membership is about 700 people consisting of many small groups who gather for study, prayer, and fellowship. Somehow, they fell between the tracks; we failed to prevent it; nor did we even see it coming. I do not sense that there was insensitivity nor an insufficiency of love. So often 'life and death' are filled with complexities and complications. It is very difficult to prevent something you have no idea is about to happen. My experience in this area is very limited. Would to God there was more that I could say or bring to this table of despair.
Suicides; can we prevent them? Some, we can; most, perhaps not; but we must never cease to try. In the darkest places, there is somewhere a light. Somewhere, there is a spark to ignite a troubled soul, and to shout out the love to ignite the light.
The one suggestion I offer is that we dare to engage and connect with people of all types and persuasions, whether they are socialites or loners. Nothing fights and conquers fear and loneliness like love; and although love indeed projects emotions; it is 'an action word' with far more 'prevention power' than any other word in existence.
