INSPITE OF YOU (Another Memo for Mr. President)

It was not because of you Mr. President,
Not on account of your Godzilla government,
Surely, not your numerous subalterns who lent
Perceivable growth to our stalled economy;
It was individual initiative mostly
That provided the impetus to businesses,
Encouraged to venture into enterprises
Offering products that justify expansion.
Free them, Sir, from unfair, excessive intrusion;
You must simplify and please reduce taxation.
Our nation keeps sinking ever deeper in debt.
Unless you change now, much regret is what we'll get!

LET GO OF THE OLD WAYS (A Memo for Some Proselytizers)

Let go of the old ways...
Each age is a new phase.
Today's world is your place.

Grant all women Mercy,
Old and young leniency.

Open academies
For present day studies.

There's need for your teaching,
Helping beyond preaching:-
Each one should read and write

Or be left in the Night.,
Let's amend penalties,
Drop all brutalities.

Walk away from the past,
And breathe freedom at last--
You're no more a Barbarian;
Shake my hand, Civilized Man!

WE ARE ALL GOD's CHIDREN

We should use Reason when we argue; Let's be dispassionate;
Expose untruths, fallacies, false premises when we debate.
Admit our own faults, shortcomings, and biases, if any;
Refuse to engage in endless wars that cause harm to many,
Eschew invasions that could lead Mankind to Armageddon,
Avoid nuclear conflict lest most species on Earth will be gone.
'Love thy neighbor', Christ counseled; 'Harm no one', Mahomet enjoined...
Look at what Hate poisoned, what the so-called 'jihadists' purloined!
God creates and sustains all that exists by His Divine Will;
Our physical and spiritual parts without Him would be nil;
Despite God's clear command, bloody murders are committed still...
Since we are all His children, we ought never each other kill!
Can I be allowed to mention some glaring absurdities?:-
Houries (for suicidal 'Jihadists') are pure fantasies.
Invoking Allah while killing innocents is horrific;
Like crazed dogs, ISIL's killing hordes are pariahs--quite tragic.
Don't scoff at or revile these misled--'they know not what they do.'
Revise, update Sharia; Modernize, civilize its view;
Enlightened scholars should know the true meaning of 'infidel'...
Not non-Muslims, but one in whose soul Lucifer's minions dwell.

FIGURE IT OUT

Failure after failure--and still more failures have burned the Left.
Is our President determined to leave our nation bereft?
Granted, not all problems we now face are of his own making;
Useless, though, to fund that Keystone project; He rules like a King!
Righteous lawmakers hope to secure a compromise somehow...
Every motorist voter agrees we need that pipeline now.

If we can spend a trillion dollars plus for the 'paperless',
There is no reason for making ourselves energy helpless.

Obviously, a liberal/socialist way of governing
Undermines economic growth, many nations are learning;
Trusting that our lawmakers will be equally discerning....

HUMILITY

How truly pathetic some uneducated Muslims are!
Unknown to them, Prophet Mohammed disliked going to war;
Moreover, Sharia was never written by Mahomet...
In truth, the Prophet did not know how to write, do not forget.
Let us concede for the moment that 'Islam' means 'Submission'--
To submit, not to madmen, but to God with full devotion!
It was Gabriel who urged that we all learn to have compassion;
You do jihad by vanquishing your id's evil intention.

INSATIABLE

Indeed, there are people who are insatiable;
Not ignorant, but hard-headed, inflexible.
Some crave for boundless wealth, Mammon--they've deified;
Altho' caged in gold, they are never satisfied.
There are some who wish to change their normal features;
It's unlikely one could copy just from pictures;
A face-change operation could cost a million!
But soon that counterfeit becomes an old scullion.
Let us not be blinded by ephemeral possessions,
Engage, rather, in pursuit of Our Lord's Many Mansions.
