Mother: Oh Raymond, Raymond, what's to become of you? :(
Raymond: I'll stay pure & give my life; Our Lady says it's true.
Jesus: Father Maximilian Kolbe, if you love Me... feed my sheep! :O
Priest: And I'll even share my soup, and my Auschwitz brothers-- keep.
Nazi: Prisoner number 16,670--- who are you?! :O
Fr. Kolbe: I am a Catholic priest! I have no family, too.

A Man for Others: Maximilian Kolbe --the Saint of Auschwitz-- in the Words of Those Who Knew Him book by Patricia Treece, + the M.I. movie
(not Mission Impossible, but the Militia of the Immaculata!)]

What you see is just an illusion
of the whole puzzle piece,
So to define ourselves
by our Perceptions and thoughts
is to continue to live a lie and to be color blind,
And no one deserve hatred for been different,
infarct we can learn about difference and embrace it.
So Now don't close your eyes or deny the facts,
we are one people with many stories,
One human race with a colorless spirits
So to define others by our petty matters
is to accept violence where peace can reign
So therefore let no be disconnected
& divided but let be the rain in people's garden,
Let us be known for our humanity we spread,
because though Humanity is capable of such beautiful dreams and horrible nightmares, For Our World Has a lot For every Man's Dream but Not Every man's Greed
' let make the difference. Amen

Forgive me for feeling the need to say
I am neither a Communist nor a Nazi,
I’m a red-blooded American who served
My country in the U. S. Air Force, and,
I have always stood up for what’s right,
And, when bullied, I am up for the fight.
Divisiveness here is getting out of hand,
And probity is not at all being observed
Even hinting that I am a Nazi is crazy!
Forgive me for feeling the need to say.

Hello,
it's been a long time since the last time I saw you
Hello,
do you think I'm talking to myself
Hello,
it is good to dream, but even better to realize it
Hello,
alone on the mountain, but never lonely
Hallo,
to beautiful fjords and waterfalls
Hallo,
to a fascinating blend of magnificent scenery
Hello,
listen to the silence, drink directly from the mountain streams
Hello,
to the sky that changes color, the surroundings become golden
Hello,
the world seems just a bit more magical than usual
I shout hello,
do you hear that the mountain responds
...he ...ll ...Oo ...oooo ...o

In the exhibition game today
The Mets are battling the Yankees
I remember the early Mets
Kranepool and Hunt come to mind
Baseball defines this country
As it did in the movie "Field of Dreams"
I read in a men's magazine
that a ballplayer made it into a prestigious poetry magazine
The years come and go
A new season starts
Battle on O Mets
for your fans are legion
I'm sure readers out ther e
will
also
write
poems - possibly stories
about the
New York Metropolitans

Sometimes I slave the day away
whilst waiting on a word
in hopes that it may just defray
my slide from man to nerd.
A kindly line or flirting note
might save from darkest thought,
while stuck in front of this comp screen
my writing come to naught.
But often true it does not float
in email or by phone
some silly quip or funny quote
to salve this time alone.
Of course, she does not know this truth,
that words from her do cheer,
I wait for them, and act aloof,
but wish that she were near.
