MAHDI
From offspring of Muhammad
Comes Mahdi comes now
One night sleeps as a regular servant
Other morning wakes up with keys of heavens and the earth
Opens all the gates for hope
Knocks down all idols at a stroke
Sets up the holiest army of Islam
Takes next the breath of Jesus Christ
Conquers Mescid el Aqsa soils
Spreads to everywhere rules of Sharia

Why I won’t go home.

Tortured by iniquity
Captive of antiquity

Limericks X
Limericks X
This is a more serious limerick:
The Abandoned Child’s Complaint
by Michael R. Burch
I hoped you might have loved me,
but you pushed me out to sea
like Moses, for some other
strange Egyptian mother:
Isis, Nefertiti.

What would Moses do
And it will shower on the
Eastern Gate
A rain so hard
it wouldn't wait
The sound and actions
tornado's make
Moving earth with
instant haste
The flow of water
from up above
And wind so swift
to remove the cover of
That which men
would try to prevent
Would be a delay of time
actually sent
The Mount of Olives

Effort and Time
Like Moses in the desert, I have wandered.
My destination nowhere in my sight.
I’m searching for the joy I have been promised
But hampered by the seeming lack of light.
Like Icarus of old, I am a pris’ner.
I’m chained here to the ground by gravity,
And haunted by the things I can’t accomplish,
The dreams of places I will never

The Jewish Fallacy
I am smart
And God told me this is how it is
(My smartness enabling me to recognize God)
And so what I say
(Being what God told me)
Then is correct and true
And, perhaps most importantly, unique,
(Because God told me).
And the fact He told my whole tribe at once
(Through the intermediary Moses)
Makes it proven to be true
(Even though there

Moses Pointed The Way To Christ
Moses one of the great prophets
showing Christ as an even greater prophet

God's hand destined

God buried Moses'
Moses is dead.' For the Lord buried him, all who live under
The Mosaic law.' Are awaiting death.' Not just death of the
Body.' That is all our lot.! Yet a spiritual death to be ripped
Away from God.' Torn as are your garments .' A sign of loss
A sign of sadness.' Yet in God is fullness of

Moses
Moses, the Australian Cattle Dog,
Entered our lives in October 2018,
Saved from an Amish puppy mill.
Our daughter’s surprise was not well-received;
A puppy was not in the picture.
Begrudgingly, little Moses settled in.
A few accidents left Grandpa grumbling under his breath.
Full of energy and, some days, quite yappy,
I was smitten by this little fur ball.
His lively coat was

Moses And The Isrealites
The Israelites are slaves in Egypt
They don't know what freedom is
They don't know what education is
They don't know what a freeman is
They cried to the Lord for help
Until God hear their prayer
He send to them Moses
Born to Jochebed
Adopted by the princess
Educated in the court of Egypt
Until 40 years, Moses calling was activated
He was isolated in

Path Of Moses
This natural sandbank stretches
For hundreds of meters into the sea
Allowing visitors to walk on the water
Like in a biblical story
As you go along, you can remain
Fascinated by the vibrant marine life
In the crystal-clear waters
Where multicolored fish and corals
Create a breathtaking spectacle
The panoramic view is extraordinary:
The blue horizon merges

ABRAHAM AND MOSES
Abraham* is father of faith indeed
He obeyed God along His deed and creed
Commended and blest
Midst challenging test
So from unbelief and doubt, he was freed.
Abraham’s great grandson, Moses** did stand
Leading God’s people to the promised land
With courageous might
And prayerful plight
Sea he divided toward march so grand.
*Romans 4:9-11 ...For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham

Concrete Moses
He's a blue collared artist supreme
with a medium of drywall and wet concrete.
He was laid off when build back better lost its gloss.
He occasionally does side jobs... tax free.
The beard is unkempt, he flashes a tattooed head.
He's donning a third trimester belly he calls Johnny walker red
It's going to be some time until his

God is always in control
Noah the prophet, was sent by God, to those who did not believe, he lived and preached a thousand years, but they still did not conceive. He begged and urged the pagan clans, but God had other plans. He built the ark at Gods command, to sail a mighty sea, they mocked and laughed when

Walking With Moses
Bridges and rivers always prevail
overcoat and undercover
Walking barefooted with Moses
A summoning whirl of gust
Going around my head
The pylons are humming
they've reached their limit
Songs sang sanquently
Time knows no limit
Fire upon Fire
Ash amongst toil
The guise is over
until eternity
