We’ve abused our great freedoms
to reap the results
with school and church shootings
hate speech a new cult
No respect for the flag
or sacrifice made
ignoring our veterans
despoiling their graves
Our streets wait in ambush
where the enemy hides
to prowl in a wasteland
where evil decides
The constitution a weapon
to pervert and inflict
traitorous courts
with laws nondescript
And blindly we run
(toward the cliff)
greed our marching song
narcissism the battle cry
—America is gone
(Ardmore Pennsylvania: April, 2023)
Waiting For Godot
God will never reveal
Himself
Until you reveal yourself
to Him
Waxing eternal with
the Divinity he gave you
Reflecting the image
of His every intent
Reaching inside where His light
burns forever
Becoming the fusion
—of all He ordained
