Tears Of The Founders (+1)

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
