Never once has this path been effective
Do such fools need...

pitted, rocked, and tortured
severe muscle spasms cramp
deathly hallowed deliverance

beseech divine creator to exorcise relief
any panacea trumpeted vetoed
pestilential nausea diarrhea
wreaks relentless havoc
horrid ordeal twists insides
lack strength to live

A free afternoon
So we heeded advice.
We strolled by the river;
The streets did entice.

We wandered down alleys
In neighborhoods where
Unexpectedly, ruins
Cropped up here and there.

To keep us from flagging,
I turned to gelato.
My spouse had espresso -

God , No God, May be God

Question arose there, who created God?
Nor he is begotten,

Incandescent sunlight glistens


From across Australian seas


To your shrieking heart I listen


Whilst with vigilance I appease



Oh, how dearest a friend you are
