New poem: "A Sober Canadian"

 

A Sober Canadian

 

It had to happen one day,

the child had to become a man;

and along came a sober Canadian

to show us the way. No more big

brother to lean upon (he turned

out to be a bully), and no more

reason to prevaricate; the time

had come to say NO, and Carney

took the ball away from the bully

and began to play the deadly

game of Realpolitik.

New poem: His "Napoleon Complex"

 

His “Napolean Complex”

 

Everything he did was BIGGER,

BETTER, and “there has never been

anything like it.” But his “Napolean

complex” finally got the better of

the American President when he met

the better man in the newly elected

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney

who adjusted his glasses and did not

flinch at Trump’s bullying and new

tariff threats that no longer mattered

to the sovereignty of our proud nation;

and the irony of the President’s game

was that he only motivated Canada

to become more self-sustaining

and independent.

New poem: "The Kingdom"

 

The Kingdom

 

Can it be that simple?

Can life be reduced to good

vs. evil? What about all

the in-betweens? Are

they good, or are they evil?

And isn’t life mostly

in-betweens? Who knows

what happens when Yin

becomes Yang, and when

Yang becomes Yin; isn’t

that the real mystery?

When the two become one,

said Jesus; that’s the way

into the Kingdom.

New poem: "Out of the Best and Worst"

 

Out of the Best and Worst

 

The Donald is the best and worst

of the American people; and those

who see their best in him endorse

him in his efforts to make America

great again, while those who see

their worst in him impede his every

effort. But the 47th President of the

United States continues to serve his

second term at the Oval Office

to fulfill his sacred promise in the

enantiodromiac play of conceiving

a new soul out of the best and worst

of the American people.

New poem: "Unsavory Position"

 

 

Unsavory Position

 

The world is too caught up

in the immediacy of daily events

to care to know its true purpose

in life, and rather than taking time

to reflect on its own unpalatable

situation, the world looks for new

causes to fight for and defend; not

because it believes in what it is

fighting for, but to keep from facing

its own situation; hence, all the

protests in America’s sanctuary

cities fighting for the unsavory

position of harboring illegal

criminal immigrants.

New poem: "Spin"

 

Spin

 

I hate spin.

I really hate it.
I hate spin more

than I hate sin,

which loves me

more than I hate

spin. That’s the

quandary we find

ourselves in when

we spin what favors

sin, which Trump

 deniers (including

Trump) love

 to do.

New poem: "When He's Offended"

 

When He’s Offended

 

Oh, he can be petulant,

the 45th and 47th President

of the United States; and

his petulance can be spiteful

when he’s offended. But

over time, he regrets what

he’s done and tries to make

amends. He prays to be better,

and believes he can; but it’s

the way he’s been wired, and

he continues to be spiteful

when he’s offended.

New poem: "Mission Fulfilled"

 

Mission Fulfilled

 

The closer he gets to his destined

purpose, the less the trolls have

to say about the Donald; and what

they do say is enfeebled by his many

accomplishments. It`s no longer

necessary to prove himself, he`s far

exceeded his initiative, including

his infinite agreement with Greenland;

and I can`t wait to see the end result

of his mission fulfilled.

New poem: "Without Sham"

 

Without Shame

 

I can see why holy men recede

from society and live in isolation

to retreat from all the deception

in our woke world so replete with

the phoney real it mocks the human

spirit; and not one day passes that

these men of good conscience do

not pray in isolation for the warrior

of common sense to turn his woke

world right side up again, so they

can return and partake of life

once more, without shame.

New poem: "The Archetypal Smirk of Conceit"

 

The Archetypal Smirk of Conceit

 

I wondered, pondered, and reflected

for years why some high-profile people

annoyed me; but while reading something

Jeshua said in the artist Glenda Green’s

book The Keys of Jeshua, I saw the source

of my unease with these people: “when

one soul truly honors the presence of God

in another, wholeness and holiness are

welcomed.” While reading Jesua’s sacred

words, an image of the movie star Emily

Blunt came to mind, how behind her every

smile I saw the archetypal smirk of conceit

on her face that I saw in every high-profile

person who annoyed me; but taking Jeshua’s

words to heart, I honored the holy presence

of God in Emily Blunt’s life, and the virtue

of her personal excellence shone bright

enough for me to see the archetypal smirk

of my own personal conceit; and now I’m

free to enjoy all those high-profile

people who once annoyed me.
