PROVIDENCE

                    Poor Planet Earth is not that poor at all,
                    Rejuvenating her must be global;
                    Our climate change is a form of healing,
                    Virtually all earthquakes we are feeling
                    Involve tectonic plates that are shifting.
                    Do pray a rebirth would be uplifting.
                    Extinction has occurred and may again,
                    New life-forms our Planet Earth may regain...
                    Can you see some hope for the human race?
                    Eureka!  We bear our Creator's 'Face'!

INJUSTICE

                   If a fundraising fee can cost
                  Nearly forty-thousand a plate,
                  Just what does this fact demonstrate?
                  Unknowingly, that some have lost
                  Somehow their empathy to hear
                  The people groan:- " Be moderate!"
                  Instead, they spend on without fear.
                  Could you believe..?  One dinner plate
                  Equals my income for a year!

MULTIVERSE

                 Most scientists suspect a multiverse exists;
                 Uncovering more proof is obviously needed.
                 Let me then be bold and remind cosmologists
                 That there are indeed many mansions provided,
                 In the words of Jesus Christ, "at His Father's Place."
                 Visionaries, mystics, and prophets have long sought
                 Elysium that neither Time nor Death can deface...
                 Rejoice, for we shall soon behold what God has wrought;
                 Souls released from space-time barriers can always
                 Explore the Lord's Multiverse at the speed of thought.

THEOLOGY

                'Time did not exist before the Big Bang;
                 Hence, there was no time for God to create.
                 Ergo, no need for God, just yin and yang,
                 Only forces natural and innate.'*
                 Lest you be swayed by Hawking's reasoning,
                 Ontology and logic must dispute
                 Godless multiverses out of Nothing.
                 You need a First Cause, that you can't refute.



                                     (*A restatement or rephrasing of Stephen Hawking's position.)

COMPASSION

                    Could you not see me as you pass me by?
                    Oh, I sense what you're thinking:- "Don't come near
                    Me, Stinky Bum! Go somewhere else, goodbye!"
                    Pardon me, sir;  Perhaps, I did miss it.
                    A kind word I thought I could get from here;
                    Sorry, I have to cut short my visit,
                    Since Compassion dwells not in you, I fear.
                    I carried the cross for the Nazarene,
                    On long roads I still travel, far and near...
                    No, never did the Christ call me 'Unclean'.

GRATITUDE

           God gave you life on Earth to serve and strive,
           Receive His blessings and His bounty too,
           As well as special gifts so you may thrive.
           Trials and temptations will confront you...
            In time, Death will call you to his embrace;
            Tribulations that beset you will be gone.
           Up there, you will see the Lord face to face...
           Death will then let you know what you have won:-
          "Eternal bliss--yours by God's Divine Grace!"

GULLIBILITY

                  God gave us our common sense to use
                  Unsparingly, yet many refuse,
                  Locked in their dark brainwashed world of hate,
                  Loath to learn and to investigate
                  If true that our towers are evil...
                  But where in the world dwells the Devil?
                  In fact, his minions are everywhere.
                  Look first within yourself, if you dare...
                  I also to a jihad must go;
                 There are fences to repair, I know.
                 Yes, my wayward self is my own foe.
