Day: May 27, 2021

Listen for the music and 
for the bells and the peals of 
the trains at night, the sounds 
send to us a message  
Sometimes we understand; 
other times we get mixed messages  
The wind may mask the sound 
the bell may have a crack and 
its message is off key  
Listen then to the music in your hearts

May it lift you to do good works and 
help those in need  
Let it enhance our gentleness, 
sweetness, patience, humility and chastity  
May the light of the Holy Spirit 
inspire us to overcome the 
darkness of the world where 
God’s children are living in war, 
genocide, hatred and revolution  
we pray for forgiveness knowing that 
a just God will be waiting, 
sometimes with vengeance, 
other times with loving open 
welcoming arms  

It is for us the living to choose 
which way we want to live  
Do we wish eternal glory or 
damnation for eternity?

POISON FROM THE WELL
Poison from the well
Who will drink the water?
The left takes aim at
The AR-15; what is it
It is not an assault weapon
I look across the water
To the distant shore
Is this the high tide?
How far do we have to go?
The bridges are burning
What are we learning?
When everyone says it’s okay
Climbing the cliff is and arduous journey
When we get to the top
Enemies are there musing
How could you; how dare you

I don’t like poison
I don’t like your well
We don’t like control
Unnecessary regulations
Rules to stop progress
Messages from a fool or
A group of troubadours 
Telling us how wrong we are
In about everything we do
Oil is not only energy
It is so much more
Zip-lock bags, everything plastic
Clothes, medications, computers,
Furniture and so much more
Still we want to kill oil
End its pipe line transportation
Shut down exploration
Rely on wind turbines
And solar panels which are
Produced in China and
Will never provide the 
The energy we need

Poison from the well
Who will drink the water?
Do we have a border crisis?
Not according to some
We were near to solving
The situation, then interrupted
By a new administration
Killers, rapists, sex slaves
And deadly drugs smuggled
Causing unnecessary death
Deliberately by undoing
Working border policies

The lord works in mysterious ways
It is time for us to arise
We must stand up and 
Take our country back
Reclaim our civil liberties
Let us cap the well
Providing poison water
Embrace our constitution
Do the things that matter
Respect the opposition
Let freedom for all
Be our proposition
