Another sex scandal hits the party of family values
Another fall from imperial grace
Another pastor
Caught in a red hot sex scandal
He claims that his wife
Had an affair with a pool boy
Who tried to black mail him
The pool boy denies it
Says the man liked to watch
And it was a consensual affair
No black mail at all
But the damage was set
The man
Was the president
Of a prominent university
An close allay of the President
Who led the evangelical support
For the President
And remains one of his close allay
Preaching that the Republicans
Are the party of family values
But in the end
People are people
And sometimes
They engage in inappropriate
Wrongful actions
Sinful actions indeed
Contrary to the teachings
Of the Christian faith
While preaching the opposite
In their smarmy snarky
Hollier than thou Attitude
they are hypocrites
Not following the tenants
Of the Christian faith
That they so proudly proclaim
In fact not doing what Jesus
would have done
Yet another family values preacher
Caught up in a tawdry sex scandal
Now do doubt the president
Will deny that he even knows him
Just the way it is
It is what it is after all
We may have found a time
in human maturation
when our history of depression
becomes unveiled mutual suppression
of healthy impressions,
We may be coming upon a time
of opportunities for climate ministrations
to reverse spiritual dehydration
of ego-souls
and our co-habitating eco-soils
for healthy safety.
There may come a space
on Earth's revolutions
when natural LeftBrain
abstract deductions
listen with less WholeEarth violence
resistance
secularizing dissonance
to Earth's ancient RightBrain inductions,
invocations,
win/win invitations,
When physical
personal
political
economic knowledge
follows EarthMother's original teachings
metaphysically multicultural,
interdependent
eco-political wisdom
Indigenously rebecoming
our return to Here with Now,
3DSpace with 2Dipolar Times
EgoSoul within becoming healthy EcoSystemic
anti-racist
pro-Green EarthJustice,
rebecoming NonViolent CoEmpathic UnDuality
verbal/non-verbal confluence
LeftBrain ironic coincidental Space
with RightBrain iconic co-operative Time
May be coming upon this 20/20 SpaceTime
in humane win/win playtime
of bicameral maturation,
nutrition,
communication,
win/win administration
Is better than
win/lose health and safety values
for masturbation
Is better than
total lose/lose patriarchal castration.
We may have found a
Once Upon Our EarthTime
in human eco/ego-political
Right/Left
Yin/Yang maturation
when our history of depression
becomes unveiled mutual suppression/repression
of healthy ecological
and safer theological impressions.
I admit…I haven’t read many of the religious writings out there
but I’ve read a few…and I imagine all their authors were hoping to make a case
by transcribing words and teachings to help make this world a better place.
However…When I look out on our world and see all the damage done
in the name of what is written in religious texts…
When I see pain, suffering, hatred, wars and killing
in the name of a religion…I am bewildered and perplexed.
It seems to me…many of their original teachings…doctrines
and canons by ‘believers’ have been amended…
allowing them to do cruel and heinous things
in ways the authors never intended.
When one looks at the many pages of religious writings out there…
I imagine their creators…should have been a little more precise….
knowing if they had to do it over again…a few sentences would suffice:
Empathy and love is the basis of all religions
It is what can truly make us great….
When we love our neighbor as we love ourselves
there is no room for hate.
I suppose they could have added:
Live a life of love, compassion and kindness…treat everyone the same
so when you’re gone…people will smile whenever they say your name
As I say…I haven’t read many religious writings….
but I imagine what would bring a smile to any of their creator’s face
is knowing everyone who truly heeds their words…
no matter what language they are written in…
will leave this world a better place.
my heart has been broken and my soul cracked many times
I have been knocked down
life has stabbed me with with daggers that still bleed
I have fallen to pieces
life can be very cruel
and words and jabs can leave one fragmented and unsure
childhood was not a very happy journey
there was too much grief and death
my wounds are hidden
for I wear a mask of happiness each day
if people hurt me I become dark silent
where I fold my wings
but through
teachings philosophical I have studied
and found a great truth
a belief system and a code of morals
I asked God he said
put your faith in the bible
buddha says
live in now
and tao said have calm patience
so I have a new ideology path
can handle pain but think I will always be
a bit cracked

Vacation Bible School 2006
A Child’s Eyes
By
Tom Wright
Each time we peer
Into the eyes of a child there’s a choice
We can walk away or become involved.
For behind each child’s colored windows
Lay the answers to future problems unsolved.
Their innocence
Directs the eye’s communiqué.
Unwitting children needing Godly training,
A vehicle of choice is Vacation Bible School
Lessons there learned, could be life sustaining,
There is Jumping Juniper
And eye dilating Bible stories to hear.
To a young child, Bible School is one big deal.
With crafts, prizes, cookies and ice cream cones
Or wearing a cool aid mustache as they run and squeal,
Lord, let each participant
Summon from within, Patience,
Acting not malicious or being in too great haste.
But make them as sponges to soak up your teachings*
For the minds of precocious children we dare not waste.
*Train up a child in the way he should go:
And when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
Education being knowledge
Foundation established
My years at CUNY MEDGAR EVERS COLLEGE
Higher learning being opportunity
I was honored to be educated by legacy from legacy
It was MALCOLM X primage into a Professor Dr. Betty Shabazz,
Malcolm X’s Widow
Principles simple
Health class called “IN SEARCH OF WELLNESS”
My mind opened up into wonder
My thoughts embraced yonder
Listened and absorbed
Possibilities on every turn
Theories directed
Legacies wisdom
Values to use in one’s own life
That is what I got from Dr. Shabazz’s teachings
No doubt
Pure education through and through
Who knew?
For me, it became pursue.
From faded photos, whispers of a past I can't forget,
The stories of my grandmas, a lingering regret.
Of promises unspoken, of rights that were denied,
Of strength in silent protest, with dignity and pride.
We see the newsreel footage, the black-and-white reports,
And wonder at the courage of those who filled the courts.
This country built on freedom, with ideals so grand,
Did we truly follow God's eternal, just command?
The screens we hold now flicker with new tragedies each day,
Another headline screaming, another soul astray.
A mother’s tearful vigil, a father’s plea for grace,
A child’s future broken in a divided, fractured space.
I scroll through angry comments, through judgments sharp and cold,
A world of instant opinions, a story yet untold
Of who we are, a people, created from one source,
Losing our connection, veering off our righteous course.
My blood begins to simmer, a digital, hot rage,
At every hateful message on a post or comment page.
How can we forget the lessons, the words from Jesus' lips?
To love our closest neighbor, to heal the bitter rips.
For every soul is precious, a masterpiece of light,
Created in His image, shining ever bright.
And yet we build our borders, with fear as our main guide,
Ignoring all the teachings He gave us from inside.
But then a different image, a hopeful, small detail,
A protest sign held high, a spirit to prevail.
A person reaching outward, a hand stretched out in need,
Planting seeds of kindness, a beautiful new creed.
The future isn't written, it’s a blog post in the making,
A chance for new beginnings, a risk we must be taking.
To write a different story, to change the trending feed,
To show a Christian nation that answers every need.
So let’s use our devices for a holy, righteous fight,
To amplify the voices that champion what is right.
For in each face, I see Him, the Savior, Lord, and Friend,
Whose love can mend all broken things, right to the very end.
Let's share a message of hope, with all the world to see,
A digital revolution for peace and liberty.
For God has shown the pathway, of love that wins it all,
And in that blessed mission, we answer freedom’s call.

Be honest we say in churches
in conversations with our children
at school in classes
in cub scouts and boy scout troops
A big deal with the Girl Scouts
Easy when you are young, for the
truth is all you know. You have nothing but
the truth, for it is what young children speak
until they are savagely punished for telling it.
That is when children learn to lie
So please thank their parents
for teaching them to lie.
and be aware of the parent’s level of brutality
in these early teachings.
I am not talking of spankings.
I am talking of beatings with weapons.
or of savage beatings where the wall or a table
or a chair or a lamp is the weapon.
I am specifically thinking of belts.
