Short Pipelines Poems

Seasons come, seasons go
A different beat that we must know
For God is the one from days of old
And He will remain until we're told
He's in the field, He's in the room
His mercy is the sweetest perfume
He'll level our rough terrains
And open new supply pipelines
For us to gain access to our rewards
This season, come into His Chamber!...

In Kashagan
The silk road begins
I bought
An apricot 
From a woman
wearing
A red shawl
Over her black hair.
A yellow dress
She was stunning.
Kashagan
Has the biggest
Outdoor market
In the world
Europe is puny
And far away.
A new silk road
Is being 
Constructed 
Pipelines and trains
Expanding trade.
that is ok
as long 
as they sell apricots...

The New Washington

Have you heard that Biden's changing 
He's now putting up the wall
Will have the pipelines flowing
Before time changes in the fall

The House and Senate members
Reaching out across the aisle
Making laws for we the people 
Which hasn't happened in awhile

Both parties are agreeing
Do you think that's pretty cool?
I do too, but I believe
It's just another April Fool...

On reading Der Spiegel 
 In Kashgar where the 
The Silk Road begins
 I a bought 
An apricot
From a woman who wore 
A red shawl
Over her black hair
 Knotted under
Her chin 
And a yellow silk dress
Kashgar the biggest
Outdoor market
In the world 
Europe is so puny 
And far away
A new silk road 
Is being built 
Pipelines and trains
Expanding trade
For China 
Ok, as long as they sell 
Apricots 
At the market place
In Kashgar...
