Si Vis Pacem

You see them loot on city streets,
attack people and leave them beat,
take what they want with no regard,
it’s ‘easier’ than working hard.
We see them take a human life,
with no regard for people’s rights,
defraud taxes, both poor and rich,
spend your hard work without a hitch.
Will the police protect you then?
if the politicians left them,
but if your

Blest Optimism Vis-A-Vis the 27 Club

My cogitations after learning about THE 27 CLUB*:

Confronted with secrets of existence
My soul strives to remain optimistic
As I resolve what seems enigmatic
Trusting God, anchored on faith’s persistence.

Here am I, seeking the Lord’s instruction
Cognizant that His way** is always best
Through the Holy Ghost’s blessed guiding zest
Expressed by the Scriptures’ revelation.

Midst survival-battle of puzzling bouts
My spirit finds

Opinion Vis-A-Vis Fake News

I can’t believe I thought that...

Dismissing such as trivial

Yet we’re affected by its being viral…

While forecasting its flippant survival

We’re anxious to find its trending rival...

God be thanked for truth* midst deceit's trial.

Donald Vis a Vis Hillary

I'm not all that enthused about Trump for Commander-In-Chief.

I personally find his narcissistic behavior beyond belief!

However, he or anyone else in my biased opinion is preferred to Hillary.

With her past precarious behavior she is fair-play for ridicule and pillory!

Persona Vis-A-Vis Dream

Accept thyself,
That even my personality,
can not stood with most pride,
when a Charisma,
is overwhilmed by,
thy can not hold on,
but to accept thy fate...

And while it is true,
that I can not achive,
to elevate thyself,
in the level of Nurie --Light
I can not easily given up,
for I believed I can reach,
the luckiest of my Dream...

Ralphie Parker Vis-A-Vis Scud Farkus

It seems that even-tempered Ralphie Parker,

   Had a side to him that was somewhat darker.

      Ralphie lost his cool with his mortal protagonist,

         And bloodied the beak of Farkus his antagonist!

Vis Gelu - the Power of Ice

Ice is the strangest substance
upon this earth then yet it
is seen as insignificant by
many.
It forms from water-droplets
within clouds, flowing rivers
and even in oceans where energy
is forever in motion.
It floats when it should sink;
density is transformed from heavy
to light even though the chemistry
remains unchanged.
It falls ever so gracefully in the
form of snow then yet wind transforms
it

Mongoose Vis-A-Vis Mongeese

If one mongoose is called a mongoose

   Then can't we conclusively deduce

      That two could be called mongeese

         'Twould make a great discourse piece

            Unless ye be dreadfully obtuse
