One Loaf
6-21-15


Let the full moon fete begin
Then as Now
Given the wherewithal and the know-how
Not too late, not too soon
Goodness is out on the prowl
But if a man be just
It will be all that God will allow
Not to eat upon the mountain
Nor to lift ones eyes up to the golden calf
We hath walked in his statutes
But O, can we say this for ourselves
In all that we've been through
In that I hope that I have reached out to you
As I live you will have occasion
To use this riddle to your advantage
As a second benefit
Behold, all souls are mine
And we are all of one loaf...










Faux Pas Revisited
6-21-15


By my gaffe and your faux pas
Ones embarrassing social blunder
And the pressure we were under
Can you hear your daddy's warning cry
O, Abba
While in soft dreams you sadly sigh
Summer will come and go
My, O, my
To oppress the poor and needy
And to sit on high for our gaffer and our foreman
You hear my voice is calling to put on the show
Devil-may-care
Reckless, careless and reclining
He begets a son that is a robber and a shedder of blood
While I sit here and ponder as I chew the cud...










Lioness
6-21-15


Restoring not the pledge
One will yet toil, moil and dredge
Eating upon the mountain
In defiling a neighbor's wife
Our teeth are set at edge
If given forth upon usury
By faith I hook up another fellow lady to my work
In hopes to inspire
Taking increase, O shall he live
You say the way of God is not equal
So I write until it's time to go
Make you a new heart and new spirit
God is love is all I need to know
O, what is thy mother but a lioness
Courageous to make it down to see me
I pray for her safety and comfort
Restoring yet the pledge....










Where Joy And Sorrow Meet
6-21-15


Let the peoples tremble
He dwells between the cheribums
Keep looking and forsake not the assembly
Let the earth be moved
Let our truth be proved
Let our souls be grooved
To the sound of color
Psalm one hundred for gladness and thanksgiving
As well as for sadness
As a new way of living
Where joy and sorrow meet
Will be our Halelujiah Street
I will behave wisely in a perfect way
This I want of Him
So I can make my Mother's day
As if it always will be
I will walk within my house
With a perfect heart
Yesterday indrawn and introspective
But today brave and bold
She brought up one of her whelps
To learn to catch prey and devour men
Even now, believe...










Ballast Revisited
6-21-15


As ballast is carried on our vessel
At last I can contend
And with my God I wrestle
As resistance brings one strength and stability
To control our altitude
Nations left of him
And he is taken in their pit
And only because we do not understand it
We call it bullshit
Indrawn and introspective
Looking within
Don't let the devil win
Bringing him with golden chains
Seizing remedy from last Wednesday's back pains
A vow for a holy life in Psalm one hundred one
Ye are the salt of the earth
And ye are the light of the sun....
