OKAY YOU WIN

Mother is getting on my nerves

Yes, she is the mother but no need

To keep o disappointing us

She promised us warmth and sun

We received cold and gray

Her waters are battering the

Shore mountains and soon

They will be no more

In the meantime we get

Rain that looks like spindrift

And we are supposed to be happy

I do not like the color or stale

Avocado so it looks like I will

Just have to wait it out.

Summer is just weeks away and

June will be busting out and

This will just be a memory

I do not like remembering

Nightmares and I have a lot of

Work to do outside.  I will

Have help with the rubble if

I can learn to put in in nice piles

My helpers are good but fussy

I hope we are about through

But in another week or so

Down will come the other shoe

DRINKING THE CUP

I do not want to be in a group where

The hearts of man are full of evil;

Where wickedness is common. 

The Supreme One will look down from heaven

upon the children of man; looking to see if any are wise

But He already knows; they do not seek after God

They do evil like the depraved; look away from

His precepts.  There are none that are good

None try to fool God; they are all failures

Not one good one can be found, but, I

Want to say however He knows our souls

We try to defend our weaknesses

But there is no central truth that will allow

Our corruption to sneak by; our wonderful gift of

Existence wasted; we have been cowards, liars, rapists,

Violent murderers and worshipers of false idols

Only His blood can keep us from going to the dead

We must abandon deceitfulness and corruption;

Almost impossible things to do until we accept

Forgiveness and drink the cup of His blood in

Remembrance of Him; another gift difficult to understand

We should be happy to bear part of the cross upon which

He died in order for us to form a new covenant

This would be a gift too great to comprehend

His love superseded our corruption.  Grace and mercy

Have been given and now it is up to us to go about

And do His work, prescribed by Him.  We will not be

Alone.  The Holy Spirit will be with us as we stay on

The fringes; the right path and the transformation

Will be complete.  We must trust in the Lord, drink

His cup in remembrance of Him.  A single star; the universe

Thank God for His love for us in giving us this chance for eternity

ANOTHER LIE

Mother lied to us again

Promised us 40 degrees

And said the sun would

Shine.  It is 26 degrees

And gray.  The wind did

Blow but it was not promised

It blew the green-blue lake

Water onto the shoreline

Snow turning it to a shade

Of dirty avocado.  Already

Feeling gloomy, this added

To our frustration.  Our

Patience was not paid off.

We have endured a higher

Degree of ice and snow

Missed the January thaw

And felt content waiting

For March to go out like a lamb

All things are not as they

Should be and the groundhog

Does not lie even though he

Is liberal in his forecasts

This will end.  It always does

Soon we will hear the song birds

And flowers will hail the

New season

IT WAS FAIR

It was said that there was no cheating
The proclamations were loud and clear
After a year of mistakes and blunders
The new occupant stumbles and smiles
Now a peer reviewed study finds there
Were 250,000 excess votes for Joe Biden
Over six battleground states.  By a
Margin of 52% to 40%, voters believe
That cheating affected the outcome of
The election for President in 2020.  
This stands out as start when compared
To the news stories which editorialized
About no evidence of voter fraud and
The myth of voter fraud.  Now we meet
On this great battlefield with one side 
Waving the flag of the constitution and
Then other pushing for a green agenda
Which will in reality use more fossil fuel
To provide green energy than would be
Used if we did nothing and continued
Using this fuel in a way that follows
Conservative principles.  When will we
Learn?  When will we stop the suffering?
