VINCITHUR

Vern, let me tell you what your 2nd name signifies:-
It is not just a compound of your Mom's name and mine,
Nor did I plan to give you an Arthurian disguise.
Compassion after Victory is your name's design,
(Intentionally masculinized is the word 'ruth'),
Thus, Victory with Mercy is the connotation.
Hiding there is a gentle victor, and that's the truth!
Unleash the power of your unique appelation;
Reclaim your name and bring your old woes to cessation...


Happy Birthday, Be Happy, Healthy & Take Care!

FOR JIGS

I wish you, Jigs, happy happy birthday
And may you have countless more...like today!
May you always be in the honors' list;
Prosper, live long and hale, Dame Fortune-kissed...
Reach out for and actualize your life's dreams,
Out-distance past distractions, wiles, and screams;
Up, soar high up Genentech's firmament,
Dare to face any test or tournament;
Odds are that you will win, Jigs Galahad,
Fate favors Grail seekers; Be safe, be glad.
You truly deserve the noble knight's name;
Our wish--that you too will gain worldwide fame:-
"Ultra magna cum laude!" our acclaim!

PUERILE

Promises, promises,
Unfulfilled promises...
Each survey surmises
Reds may win, Blues may lose;
I am inclined to choose
Leaders, not amateurs
Endorsed by saboteurs!

HOMO SAPIENS

Here on Earth human beings live...but for how long?
Over 7 billion people strong,
Marvelous fruit of the tree of evolution,
Our form thru adaptive mutation...
Sadly, Homo is still not so sapient today;
As of this writing, to our dismay,
People continue to bomb and kill each other,
Indeed, e'en brother against brother!.
East is east and West is west, and the twain do greet--
Not in peace but in battle we meet...
Shall our story end in bloody, futile defeat?

3.) DROPPINGS

Doddering old senior citizen
Ranting against flying denizen,
Obdurate for slipping and stumbling,
Picking up dropped cane and stuttering,
Pausing to breathe a sigh, still grumbling:--
I blame all those sea birds scattering
New droppings on the beach strollers' path...
"Go home,grandpa, and temper your wrath;
Seagulls void avoid...or take a bath."

2.) DROPPINGS

Did God direct meteors and comets to impact on Earth,
Re-seeding it with creatures having transient lives--like man?
On the other hand, if God be the Tree, then His fruit can--
Pursuant to His Plan, in due course evolve and give birth,
Perhaps to a less savage and more durable being;
In fine, to homo superior, god-like, and immortal.
No harm future meteor swarms or comets falling can bring;
Grave disasters to the pure of heart will not be fatal,
Since souls unblemished are rewarded with Life Eternal.

1.) DROPPINGS

Death, chuck that shroud;
Roust out the crowd.
Old but unbowed,
Poor but uncowed,
Perhaps, too proud,
I can fly home.
No need to come
Get this old bum...
Slink away, chum.

(I ain't ready yet.)

GLIMPSE

God pervades but transcends all of His creation,
Logically incomprehensible but true...
If I may, here is a simple demonstration:
My eyes tho' closed, my mind could see a kind of hue--
Purple, vermilion, green, gold, coruscating blue...?
Swirling shafts blend then become One Splendorous Light!
Ere you go to sleep, get a glimpse of God tonight...

LIKE A DREAM

Look up towards the southwestern part of the night sky;
If you find there one huge star with bright blue shafts flashing,
Know that that could be a supernova presaging
End of our world, and most of humankind soon will die!
Are we then to be cast down to some low parapet?
Don't we deserve entry to a higher dimension?
Revivify us, O Lord; At your highest turret
Enlighten our minds with keener cosmic perception
And send our souls back on the path of evolution...
May Omega-point be reached with our sharper vision!

SOUL MATE

Someday, my dear, I know we two shall meet again...
Only now we must part after my brief sojourn;
Ulysses-like, I have to cross that darkling main,
Like his belov'd, you too may have to wait and mourn,
Mayhap, thru many seasons and lifetimes--to live
Amongst princesses,beggars,slaves,and mighty kings;
Thru all that panoply that Destiny may give,
Eagerly shall I come for you on lover's wings!

CONJECTURE

Commit, confront, and concentrate;
On fairways never denigrate
No matter how sloppy their state.
Judge not the group ahead--(old chaps)...
Excuse never your own mishaps;
Consider how one day my ball
Took flight to a neighboring hole,
Undoubtedly, a golfer's ace!
Regrettably, at the wrong place.
Exploits can land you in disgrace...

I ACCEPT

Inevitably, all of us must move on;
A new flower blooms when the last rose is gone...
Can you prevent another dawn from breaking?
Can anyone halt an earthquake from shaking?
'End-times' is just a prod from God's mighty rod.
Perhaps, a falling star or another flood...
These global changes are by the hand of God.
