Jurisconsult
6-30-15


Slept in two hours
Getting up at seven by abilities known as powers
And no more strange leaven
A remembrance of past blessing
Person to person
Teach me to reach me for our jurisconsult
Send me the song that will reach me
For my pillow-beres learned in law
Back down on my knees
You were there when I needed you
Attending my decretal
The sun is up as bright as its going  to get
See the sky about to rain
But do not fret...








Handing Out My Card
6-30-15


Children are God's heritage
forbid them not
As the jurist and the eminent judge
It's no way to live to but hold a grudge
As lawyer and legal scholar yet to taste the fudge
As the warden and the prison guard
I hand out another business card
Yet to signal orders
Back in the days when in was called Borders
Once upon a time
Twice upon a place
By our decree and papal letter
Yet in shackle and fetter
I have high hopes today just to make it through
Children are God's heritage
Such is the kingdom...










On Acts 19:15-18
6-30-15


Jesus I know and Paul I know
But who are you
I have high hopes just to make it through
Where the future is a friend of yours and mine
Yet to overcome and prevail
God's love on the base drum that will not fail
This is known to all the Jews and Greeks
Something for us to read about
Of one whom still seeks
And many that believed came and confessed
And shewed their deeds
As met in time will be all our wants and needs....










Vivisection
6-30-15


By virtue of the vivisection for further research
Resolutions communicate
And be honest even outside the church
It was just me
So mighty grew the Word of God and prevailed
We looked around on the empty shore
Using curious arts
We bring our books blocking fiery darts
Not just for good looks underneath the skin
Counting the price of them
Fifty thousand pieces of silver
Just let it go and relinquish
What was God's in the first place....








Banana Crescent
6-30-15


A streak for my Vizsla on V-J Day
August fifteenth
O, what does it have to do with anything at all
In a blue Sedan we couldn't get much further
Announcing their surrender
During the second world war but for what
It is all so senseless
Where is the love
Purposing in the Spirit
In passing through Macedonia and Achaia
To return to Jerusalem
Just to see the sights
I order up my banana latte
To fulfill the title of this book
Now in the writing
Saying, "I must also see Rome"
