Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town
Nothing but the dead and dying back in my little town
In my little town
“My Little Town” by Paul Simon
My Town
I walk the streets of my hometown,
the prodigal son returned for a visit.
I wanted to see the old place after
forty years away.
My first stop is the place where
the death spiral began.
The old brick building that housed
Johnson’s lingerie factory long abandoned.
Countless generations had worked there
and jobs were plentiful and easy to get..
But government regulations, outrageous union
demands and cheaper labor overseas
caused its demise.
I walked up Main Street, which was a
bustling market place when I was a child.
Now, all that remained were CBD joints
and tattoo parlors and a coffee shop.
First the pharmacy closed, then
Mason’s Department store, followed
in quick succession by a host of
other long-time establishments
as the locals began the exodus
to a new land of milk and honey.
The few reaming locals looked
like ghosts wandering in a lost world.
I’m ready to move on as there is
nothing left but the dead and dying
back in my little town.
August 9 Heart for God Bible Meditations Based on Isaiah 54-58
Key Verse – Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee.
HEART THAT IS ASSURED BY THE MERCY OF THE LORD
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His victory
Along His truthful glory
As He chastises our transgressions of shameful misery
Indeed, keeping us in His life-building ministry.
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His instructions
Along His cleansing functions
As He washes our evil deeds with His purging sanctifications
Indeed, soaking us into His spirituality-refining purifications.
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His might
Along His transforming delight
As He converts our character with His perfection-insight
Indeed, molding us by His attitude-training pursuits to do what is right.
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His holiness-engagements
Along His fortifying establishments
As He corrects our errors with His standard measurements
Indeed, teaching us through His step-directing requirements.
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His trustworthiness
Along His encompassing graciousness
As He pardons our confessed sins through His forgiveness
Indeed, strengthening us by His faith-refining steadfastness.
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His virtuous processes
Along His empowering ways devoid of deceitful traces
As He replaces our mischief-curses upon His deliverance-braces
Indeed, lifting us up through His spirit-reviving forces.
Our heart is assured by the mercy of the Lord with His compassionate driving
Along His wonderful loving
As He controls our carnal impulses through His principle-rules’ proving
Indeed, upholding us while we are striving according to His conviction-driving.

We teach doubt
And worry about the dying belief
While we mock the most devout
Unknowingly feigning our relief
And soon the establishments strong and stout
Shed their every flower and leaf
As thirsty eyes begin to scout
For the ethics of life that were once chief
It's the wisdom of human cultures
To weigh one's words and deeds
For the modern freedom is for weird mixtures
Compromising the purity of ethics and creeds
So don't go around sampling textures
Heats, noises and speeds
Take discipline that holds up lasting structures
And shine the light that the future pleads
K. Muitherero
The story about doors mostly hidden
to keep elusions not forbidden
Doors that shape shift to ones liking
inherited desire so very inviting
Monument entrance royal fanfare
for the narcissist and all its care
Procrastinated sand castle melt
instant illusion dopamine felt
Door of complacency in odd shape
reality check ups and its take
Misty clouds as entrance of fame
profound words so valuable same
Automatic doors for the manipulator
pride of the patriotic administrator
Time slip passage to excess gadget
wasting no time pageant
Self-chain establishments hooks
sacrificing success stories in books
Echoes from the doors of eternity
little true established certainty
Squeaky little garden gate
humble souls knowing their fate
I know the end approaches..I observe many views on that
Unesco friends of the esrth action against climate
Change w e f and various national governments.' Evangalists. And jw's there are many differing views on this
How it may end etc etc etc.. At the same time dissoulute
Living is fostered and financed by many establishments
Banks invest heavily in armerments, and drug companys
Supplying large sums to finance, war in Afganistan the covid debacle and
Then propping up the war in the Donbas on the borders
Of Ukraine, and lateley the horrible attack and murder of Jewish citizens
Also hostage taking, and subsequent conflict in gaza.' These wars have
Cost many lives, and billions in funding the results being
Parts of the world are awash with arms and drugs..
And people displaced.' Inflation rages and there are no
Shortages of (experts who can fix it.? ) in all this I know
That true Love conquers all.' So in this knowledge I stand
In determination, not to take sides.' I may be wrong I know
That Isreal was special to God and (no doubt) still is.' I am
A man aware of this, and am compatible to allying myself
With them, yet would rather they make the leap to Yeshua
I have sympathy with Ishmaels descendants, also wishing
They will accept Yeshua.' also God wrote
In the old testement, He would make them a mighty
Nation.' I therefore bear this in mind and that am still just, in the age
Of grace.' Accept I may be wrong.' God is always right so i
Will accept any sentence i may deserve.' For indeed who
May lecture God ? So I will follow His teaching of Love
As the best service I can offer; worthy or unworthy.'
Molly maid in her stand for kids
Rattled the establishments cold line
2020 she said its wrong to mask
Young srudents in creative time
There is no science to prove its worth
Yet much to tell carbondioxide grinds.'
The waste of the lungs drawn back in
To damage health.' Every breath each time.'
And but a ploy, a gesture only.'
Caused division, and made kids lonely
Also lockdowns hit mental health
Drove down learning, it seemed so phony
Instead of causing mass immunity.'
Mad measures worked against all bodily
Continuity, to weaken en'mass was all it
Could ' and to achive better its known we
Should, seek exposure as millenia have proven
Balance elements and vitality against each ill
For sickness will come and they will go, our bodys
Are designed to compute; the very best defence.'
Why (didn't we know.?)
I suppose you think it's a gooseberry patch to which I allude.
Well, in a sense it is, but this has to do with scrumptious food!
'Tis a diner named The Gooseberry Patch, down the road a spell.
It ain't a fancy place, but I declare in country cookin' they do excel!
The genial cook is a laid-back, home-grown Colorado chap,
Wearin' a Bronco T-shirt and a Rockies baseball cap.
The waitress leans on the counter a-starin' dreamily into space,
As country and western from station KKCS wafts about the place!
The green chili is zesty hot and will set yer ears aglow!
Yer face'll light up with hues akin to a paintin' by van Gogh!
The pork and beef barbeque is so spicy it'll sting yer eye.
All this can be topped off with a tangy slice of gooseberry pie!
It ain't owned by some far-away impersonal organization.
For generations it's been a family-owned operation.
They don't boast a five-star ratin' - for that they don't aspire,
Nor nation-wide Gooseberry Patch franchises will they require!
Yer plate is overflowin' and the price is certainly right.
Classier places skimp on food and the cost is just a fright!
I've dined at five-star establishments but they'll never match,
The good ol' country fare served at the rustic Gooseberry patch!

Whereas in the interest of both soventy and nationalism
We recognize both boundaries and the establishments
Which govern. Where north is north east is east ,west is west and south is south. The laws of peace where each government
shall recognize the laws of the other.
Where diplomacy and negation, shall be rule of law.
Monitored and medicated.
Where each government recognizes respectively other governments interest, regarding allies associates and fors.
One in defence of the other for boundaries sake.
One in the interest of the other for the sake of sovergnty.
Recognition of the rights of all governments and there people.
Concern Citizens of Earth
Whereas such truths establishes an environment of diplomacy
where the sovergnty of the people both united and divided interest is expressed in a democratic way.
In full regards to the public interest.

That is it
After this
No matter if
The road ahead is hazardous
Beside many establishments
Waters with or without halibuts
And areas where the ground and air has traces of contaminants
Bought her a lot of amethyst
And garnets that were called mandarins
So that whenever she wanted too, she could dress up and feel glamorous
In the liquor cabinet
Was bottles, some of which were extravagant
And they typically had either a cork or twist cap on it
Others showing their true colors
Fussing over nothing
Then being animus
Because they are desperate and ravenous
I told you you're soft and gelatinous
Stop trying to talk blasphemous
Or you'll get burned like a lot of cannabis
Bought some amulets
And found a box of talismans
What it said and meant, caused me to conduct my own analysis
