The High Horse
The High
Horse
Berating those who
disagree,
With perceived
self-insight
Of the highest
degree,
Loathes he any opposition
with all might.
When speaking to
followers of the way,
He chastises their
beliefs, of course,
Keeping criticism
of the prophet at bay,
While seated regally
on his own high horse.
“Detruncations and
any violence you should expect.
Your crusades a despicable volition.
It is pass time
for that sect
To play out its
true core and mission.”
Only with inner
municipiorum he sees
Identity with
those the majority he thinks oppresses.
But to prophet he
prays on his knees,
At the way he
explicitly down dresses.
When other varia
are killed or suffer,
When national
protectors downed,
Ignores them he, creating
a buffer,
Not to tilt his anointed
crown.
Redefining lone lupus triumphs,
While hugging the mater
proditionem,
Showing contempt
for traditional roots, he trumps
The nation's heart
and soul with ad hominem.
“I am the new way
of thinking,
My purpose to cleanse
the nation.
Purging history,
and it linking
To radical and complete
transformation.”

Jesus and Muslims
They other day I downloaded an eBook by Fouad (pronounced 'fwad') Masri. The book is so wonderful and effective I looked up Masri on YouTube and found several of his videos.
If you have 30 minutes, watch this one video and then download the book. Masri is speaking at Ozark Christian College in this video - his talk is preceded by a short presentation about Muslims over the past 20 years.

The Fall
The Fall
It was time to check out
After shopping in the store.
In the lane I turned about
And promptly crashed to the floor.
Usually I push the cart,
This time I was a contrarian
And in narrow space made a quick dart
A move not good for a septuagenarian.
With loss of all control
I could but let the flow carry on
Bracing not parts but the body whole
Descending with force to the concrete lawn.
It took only one second or two
For my steadiness to leave,
Lay on my side not knowing what next to do,
Standing I could not achieve.
Looking up, on her knees she beside me,
“Are you alright?” her petition.
“I’m not sure, I could be.”
She made me to talk to her, that was her mission.
A cold bottle of water she gave me to drink,
She wasn’t going to leave me undone.
More questions she asked made me talk and think,
While the store manager dialed 9-1-1.
“Are you married, and for how many years?”
I told her a half century one month after March,
Almost thirty years for her was near.
I was then beginning to feel parched.
“I want to stand up, will someone help me?”
The store manager suggested I stay on the floor,
That lady still talking and still on her knee,
As eight paramedics came in through the door.
They checked all my vitals
And questioned me a lot,
They suggested the ER,
I said “I’d rather not.”
Upon my release
I returned to my cart,
To pay for my groceries,
I needed to complete my transaction part.
I asked the cashier,
“Where’s the lady on her knees?”
I wanted to thank her.
She had disappeared in a breeze.
Making sure I not faint,
She unknown, a perfect stranger.
Her attention was of a saint,
Her mission, a caring angel.

Thomas Jefferson
Thomas Jefferson
How different now is it
From Thomas Jefferson’s
day?
What aberrant political
skit
Is presently in play?
Tom’s enemies abundant,
From Hamilton to John
Adams.
His love for political order
constant,
Endless pursuit of harmony
he fathomed.
His ways and means
paradoxical
His peers appear wiser,
George the smartest,
Tom’s mercurial enterprises
clear and more logical,
When we see his natural
vocation as artist.
Politics to him not a
dispiriting distraction,
An avenue making almost
anything possible.
Never a man of inaction,
A creative impulse for the
plausible.
Personal and political
contradictions
Notwithstanding, a brief
dynasty enduring,
He generated an executive
legacy of successful convictions
With Madison, Monroe,
Jackson, and Van Buren.
