QUAGMIRE

Questing for health care plans was never the government's function;
Useless to force membership for over three hundred million.
All citizens are supposed to have rights inalienable
Guaranteed by our Constitution, and hence--unbreakable!
Making coverage compulsory is clear interference;
Individual freedom, if abridged, is a most grave offense.
Rights to choose your life style, your own doctor are in a quagmire...
Either U-turn now, good Sir, or face consequences more dire!

STUPIDITY

Some fifteen million citizens were without health coverage;
The Obama plan was supposed to lift them from that bondage.
Unfortunately, unfair or worse results are occurring...
Perhaps we could find a less expensive way of succoring
Individuals so they could buy the plans they find suitable:-
Depend on laissez faire to make the cover affordable.
Insurers may e'en be able to grant substantial discount
To any person who could pay a million dollars up front,
Yet taxpayers must pay more for a website; What an affront!

(With only about 300 million Americans, the government's
health website alone now costs over $500 million!)

MAGICAL

My skill in catching fish barehanded is laughable;
According to my uncle, I am unteachable.
Gourami and mudfish slip from my fingers with ease...
I promised to catch something bigger, so please don't tease.
Compelled to catch words and phrases and check what they mean,
A field of acrostics soon grew fast, furious, and green...
Let's harvest the crop while it still has its golden sheen.

IGNOMINY

In Life, we often make mistakes and hurt our brothers;
Good goals blindly pursued could run rough shod 'gainst others...
No one opposes affordable health coverage.
Obviously, recent results put many in a rage;
Make no more promises 'period', Mr. President,
If we lose cover or pay more without our consent.
Need we change doctors, too, and that you can not prevent?
Your 'law', Sir, is a bummer, your aides incompetent!

FLAWLESS

Fake diamonds contain no inclusions;
Lovely ladies have their imperfections--
Artists picture Liz Taylor with her mole.
Why, e'en our Milky Way has a Black Hole!
Look for xenoliths in more humble things:-
Every flaw you find proves they're fit for kings...
Sinners who become saints will discover
Souls scourged and scarred live in bliss forever!

IMPERFECT

If God is Love, why is there in this world so much sorrow?
Must we remain ever in darkness, when is tomorrow?
Peace of mind seems always beyond reach, a mere illusion;
Existence here on Planet Earth is fraught with confusion.
Regard the constant conflict amongst neighbors and nations...
For how long must we wrangle in futile disputations?
Endure as best you can a homo sap's limitations.
Clear vision requires you first remove motes from your own eyes;
There is no perfect human, perhaps not until he dies....

MEMORY

MC2=E, Albert Einstein said so,
Ergo, associatives also, comme il faut;
Most thought produced by men's minds exceed light motion.
Our abilities of vivid recollection,
Reading future events thru our precognition,
Yes, imaginings too are part of creation!

ONSLAUGHT

Oh, God, we see another typhoon come surging to our isles!
No classes again, no fiestas, no happy laughter, no smiles;
Soon Yolanda will wreak havoc over the whole countryside,
Leaving swaths of wreckage and people in sorrow far and wide.
And so, I have to ask You,Almighty God, Oh why, but why
Us? Many of my poor countrymen will suffer and/or die...
God says:-"Fear not, you are all immortals, I am just testing;
How do you separate the chaff from the grain after harvesting?
The typhoon will show the compassionate, so stop protesting."

BEND YOUR WILL

Bend your will to God's, despite this world's distractions;
Elevate your aspirations to His Domain.
New knowledge has shown Deep Space has many mansions;
Despite our Multiverse of limitless terrain,
You need only close eyes to see God's Realm Divine.
Only in prayerful solitude may you hear
Uplifting symphonies of our Lord God's Design.
Ravenous wolves may stalk and pounce, but have no fear;
With strength of will and tested faith, you shall prevail.
Idols of false gods must be scorned, buried in sand;
Lucifer's temptations shall be of no avail...
Live like Christ; Go forth, spread God's Love o'er all the land!

SCANDAL

Stop lying to us citizens!
Claptrap hid flawed legislation;
Ask for real corrective action
Now! Halt influx of denizens
Duping and scamming the nation.
Anxious Democrats have reasons:-
Lie...and lose the next election.

TO BE GODLIKE

To emulate the Savior may not insure 'good behavior'.
Oftentimes we are compelled to assume the rebel's posture
Because we're bound to follow what our conscience tells us to do,
Exasperating the stickler 'Catolico Cerrado'...
God gave each of us, however, free will and good common sense;
Our innate spiritual energy must be used for defense.
Do let Christ be our Guide and Example; He is our Refuge.
Let us avoid all white sepulchers for the danger is huge!
It is about time we sweep away old cobwebs from our Church;
Knowing full well Jesus tried to push Pharisees from their perch,
Expect the world in stupor to be wakened by a big lurch!
