The Presence of  Glory

Folks don’t handle well the company Of  that person of glorious note. He’s attractive but discomfiting; His glory exposes deficiency. There is an awkwardness:A sense of failure, subordination;A feeling of wrongfulnessInspired by the presenceOf the high-level achiever.Yeah, such company is discomfiting,But it need not as such be so!We ALL fall short of HIS glory,Making ours […]

On Tearing Up Temples

Remember when Jesus tore up the Temple? It is that same spirit that tears up an abortuary: A hatred for blasphemous, murderous evil. Got to do what you got to do!And sometimes it ain’t pretty to peaceful people.Some folks can’t stand any waves;Got to have those smooth, peaceful lakes.But the wind of justice does blowThe […]

You take good care of me So what else do I need?Got my breath; got Your stare.What else to worry or care?Don’t need all that money;Got me a real good honey.She takes care of me, tooWhen You’re too busy to.(Just kidding.  I know youNever look away from me,But have me ever in view.Got that omniscience […]

How You Doin’?

“How you doin’?” a fellow might say As  I’m walkin’ in the light of day. “Doin’ right (actually quite) well, Good health and escaped from hell! Can’t ask for much more or complainNo matter the troubles or pain.”Yeah, there is much to be thankful for.Just a quick look around; open the door!Take a peak at […]

A Border Meditation

If, as a national “body” of people, We are unwilling to protect ourselves From the infection that infuses us By the invasion of immigrants, We will, indeed, deserve the influx: The natural consequence of  negligence.But, of course, even derelictionCan be morphed into national benefit!Are we not short on workers to fillThe demands of an economy […]
