Short With One Voice Poems

Canadian by birth, North American by choice
Yankee, Canuck, Mexicano, I speak with one voice
We live strong and free
These great countries three
I raise my voice in harmony and happily rejoice

Speaking with one voice
  the silence unsettled
As the many inside me
  cry out to be heard

Laced within my words
  never fluent themselves
Woven in my acceptance
  —their gift to inspire

When the cosmic horn blows
Enchanting soul and spirit, miles 

Apart.. Draw closer, it says and
Reach for glory...  With one mind, 
Egged by the mysterious eschatology 

Of the end... Together, we shall all
Name one destiny, with one voice, 
Exclaiming, "WE ARE ONE!!!"...

Can we run really fast
Like a panther on its prey
Across the jungle we shall go

Or can we fly far away
Like the eagles in the sky
Over the mountains we soar

For we are soulmates not lovers
With one voice we should be

But life in its strange heartlessness
Will not let us have affinity...

each poet has a voice
and if we could all gather to speak with one voice
say one single message of hope
we could change the hearts of this world
we could tell the tale to the world so they would understand
so they could change
if we could only speak with one unified voice
gather us now
let us try
let us save this world
with our beautiful words...

Happy Birthday.

To you my Son.
Three presents have come.
The first a calculator.
To help you learn.
All your life discern.

The next a bat and ball.
To make you fit and tall.
To be a sportsman.
Win or lose.
Play the game.

A guitar is there.
Music, every where.
Sing and rejoice.
With one voice.
Life is a happy tune.

On this special day,
Participate, all you may.
Enjoy life to the full.
Never be dull.

The skeptic says, prove it and I'll believe,
prove God is real and I'll believe--but,
I answer, how can I prove the reality
of a Being that is beyond the lines of
space and time, life and death: eternal....

How can I even grasp the idea of God,
when I can think one thought at a time,
speak with one voice at a time, hope
and love with but a single heart--how
can I see God with the eyes of men?

How can I prove my love for God,
His love for me, even for the skeptic?...

COPLA DOS (TWO):  This Bad Guy World

-	The second COPLA in the series –


Bad guys in this world got it made
They simply outnumber good guys:
Their paradise;

Bad guys help themselves to the shade
Reduce good guys to broken toys
Every so wise;

If good guys by chance reach the top
Then they’ll drag them down with one voice
Crying foul play;

If good guys fight back they’ll sure flop
For bad guys know how to rig dice:
Great game they play.
