G enerous and thoughtful gifts
I nvite the giver to experience
V irtual tastes of heaven’s goodness
I n the present tense
N ow, and for always,
G aining rewards for eternal bliss.
G od’s gift of His son Jesus
O nly magnified our need for
D aily responses to
L ife-giving sustenances and a
Y earning to share them with others.
G iving whatever we can to
R elieve suffering in our world
A lways brings inner peace,
C omfort to ourselves and to
E veryone who receives.

From Mastadonian timelessness
Thru Neolithic mankindliness
Past icy agey instances
Cave-ember dream sequences
Animal carcass sustenances
Tribal ritual religiousness
Guttural language utterances
Savage native dominances
Eking marginal existences
Toward era-ending extinguishes
To Nomadic brutal homelessness
Under cracking cultural bridginess
Under societal forgetfulness
Under Military expansiveness
Governmental negligences
A congenital hopelessness
Constitutional vagariousness
Evolutionary pervasiveness
Solitary survivalness
That’s my piece of boniness
My tent reeks of holiness
On the edge of precariousness...
