FOR LENNITA

FOR LENNITA


I see you there
Above me now
Shining brightly
As you always did
What joy
You must be relishing
Arm in arm
With Jesus Christ this day
I miss you deeply
In such mortal terms
Precious star
Daughter of the King
Your graceful soul
A gilded tapestry
Compassionate splendor
Blessed living faith
No more pain sweet lady
Peaceful rest
Angelic glow
So many felt your warm embrace
Radiant smile
Tender loving ways
I feel you with me still
Inspiration
Sanctified agape
See you soon Lennita
My sister
My beloved friend
How I love you so

WASTED

Heads turn as he struts by
Exaggerated intelligence
Wall Street Gladiator
Freshly mowed grass
Diesel fumes linger
Pungent city scents
An ambulance screams
Shrill harbinger
Another violent statistic
Lost adolescence
Dreams of lofty heights
His warm blood
Splattered on the chilly sidewalk
Sarcastic street encounter
Fatal robbery
Wasted
In the blink of an eye
Frantic friends and family
Left to wonder why

PRAYERS FOR MYANMAR

PRAYERS FOR MYANMAR


Once a peaceful protest
Military response
Junta demon dance
Death toll escalating
Gory Burmese streets
Buddhist Monks rebel
Two score of iron fist rule
Torched Karen Villages
Eighteen to date
Brave Christian Martyrs
Burned alive at the stake
Children of Christ
Killed in cold blood
“Threat to ideology”
A million refugees
Dissidents disperse
Meanwhile
Teflon Diplomats
Enjoy their comfy digs
Rampant persecution
Dictator solutions
Smash mouth style
Satellite eyes are watching
No secrets this day
Brutality exposed
Prayers for Myanmar
