Freedom Dealt

Obeying any moral law,
  reason wills unto itself

To play the game the way its staged
   —all freedom thusly dealt

I ain’t no phoney
Just full of bologna (E)
Doing the fifth step
Will keep me Kept
Doing inventory
Kinda like a story
Humbling myself
Feels like nothing else
Asking for help
So I can play the cards Dealt

Absolutes

Absolute
by Frank Daub

I have always dealt -- in absolutes.
I was educated in this way.
The greatest Man who ever lived
knew NIGHTIME -- from the day.

An absolute stands timelessly 
above the doubt – 
and tall.
Yet those who will not understand
Reject truth as a wall.

The Hand We're Dealt

We all must play the hand we’re dealt
And many folks’ve surely felt
That most unfairly they’ve been whacked
By cards that somehow have been stacked.

Still, there are those that rise above
And focus on the things they love,
While others flounder first, then sink.
(There must be more of those, I think.)

Yet as the game of life plays out,
The future always filled with doubt,
Some winners lose and losers win,
For that’s the way it’s always been.
