GOD'S BOUNTY

God made this world so vast, mankind is still in awe
Of this boundless cosmos with its galaxies so
Distant, we need to learn how to travel at light
Speed and/or live and endure an eons-long flight
Before we could find out what wonders await us
Out there at the edge of 'mundi infinitus'...
Unknown to most of mankind, God gave us trillions-
Non-localized quanta of cosmic proportions
That bind us to God's Pavilions where you could share
Your musings and ponderings,Mr.Trillionaire!

RELIGION

Reportedly, the Devil claimed his name was 'Legion',
Explicitly showing this by the number of swine
Leaping out of and running from the human dungeon
It occupied. Thus, Christ again bestowed His Divine
Grace and Mercy to that maddened wretch who was possessed.
In this day and age, the Devil's name is still 'Legion';
Old and new religions have spread, but most are obsessed
Not with saving souls, just goals in Man's mundane region.

TRAVELLER

                  "...morir es descansar..."

"To die is but to rest"...awhile.
 Rizal, in fact, did not mention
'Awhile', but he would not revile
 Variations in after-life style.
 Eternal 'rest' is damnation!
 Lord, you know my trajectory;
 Lift up my soul in victory!
 Excuse my soul's exultation
 Re- its final destination...

EPHEMERON

Ed O., you are endowed with energy--
Powerful force that flows from the Divine;
Hence, Death can only slay your effigy.
Even your quarks and gluons will be fine.
My friend, all of us are bound together...
Every individual plays his vital
Role in this world, but God is the Tether
Of such Strength, He turns lives ephemeral
Not just to carefree bliss but ETERNAL!

Don't Get Me Wrong

Did you suspect that at times I, too, am an unbeliever?
Of course, you're right;  Doubt pierces thru my mind like a sharp sliver,
Not only when unjust or bad judgments are unrectified;
Truly, I am aghast when death penalties are justified.
God's command for us not to kill another human being
Except in self-defense now seems to have a broader meaning...
Too many senseless killings can turn doubt to apprehension:-
Misinterpreters of the Quran seek world domination;
Even brothers in faith seek each other's annihilation.
Where then is God's Divine Intervention and Retribution?
Return all stubborn wretches to the vile dust from whence they sprung?.
Out comes Doubt which can't stop asking where God's Mercy has been flung,
Not until that sliver will turn into a harmless feather...
God grant us enduring faith, wisdom, world peace.. and fair weather!

DISCOVERY

Discover God in a split second--as I did:-
I was driving my T-bird, just 'cool' like a kid;
Suddenly a black speedster swiftly passed me by...
Casting caution aside, I decided to try
Overtaking the show-off, but then another
Vehicle crossed and collided with its brother.
Eyes closed, I drove thru Death's grotesquely grinning mask...
Relieved to find myself unscathed, I had to ask:--
You saved me Lord, but why? God said, "Complete your task."

OBSESSIONS

Our President, if I may surmise, has a secret grand obsession.
Barack Obama may wish to achieve this as his main legacy:-
Survival of a less warlike, saner human race as a nation,
Evolving into a peaceful, prosperous global society
Sustained by self-sufficiency thru new energy discoveries,
Secure and shielded from nuclear bombs and viral misdeliveries.
In brief, to transform and leave Planet Earth to a new generation
Of courageous, enterprising, and peace-loving homo-geniuses,
Not to the Devil's minions filled with Hate and other toxic juices.
So may his dream come true:- Peace and Plenty spread world-wide with profusion.
