CARPE DIEM

Careful when you drive to town today,
Almost all are on a holiday.
Read the speed limits and please don't rush;
Picnics mean small sips, don't be a lush.
Eat to taste then walk around the park;
Do come home before the place turns dark.
I'd love to join your Labor Day lark;
Elderly people too need a break...
Maybe someday when my feet don't ache!

ENIGMA

Explore, if you can, our President's objective.
Non-action, I recall, was Lao Tzu's perspective;
I hope it can indeed lead to a miracle.
Give proof that Inaction acts like an oracle...
May the President heed Lao Tzu's exhortation:-
Ahead you could fall, if you don't change direction!

OSCILLATIONS

Our quanta revolve around their respective protons,
So too planetary groups whirl around their own suns.
Cosmologists have now confirmed that our Milky Way
Is spiraling and waltzing like a dance troupe in May,
Locked in a kind of cosmic dance around a Black Hole
Located at center like a magnetic Maypole,
An unseen force keeping our galaxy together...
There is likewise an Ark to which we are on tether,
Indulge my fancy, I shall call that Central Craft--Lord.
Our souls seek to fly aboard, but oft we break the Cord;
No end to our rebirth cycle, it seems unceasing,
So strive on Skep, lest your soul be found still unpleasing.

SEMPRE LIBERA

Sailing along Life's fast-flowing stream,
Ever in pursuit of my heart's dream,
Making enduring Success my goal...
Peace and abiding faith for my soul;
Reason is my strength, my steady oar,
Extra vigilance I must have more...
Leave the schemers and scammers alone,
If I need help, I don't need a phone,
Best to use my own mind's internet.
Edit, delete words I might regret;
Rid my craft of junk, mold'ring debris.
Always be light, O my soul, be free!

SHAME ON US

Should we not review and restrict our current usage of drones?
How many innocent non-combatants have been killed... who knows?
Apparently, these 'accidents' our President now disowns;
Maybe, our allies' robots or force majeure could be the cause...
Expertise in drone-direction and reliability
Of information that required the use of an unmanned drone
No longer suffice. There ought to be no possibility
Unintended harm could occur. Let's leave such targets alone.
Stop downgrading Uncle Sam, my icon of Nobility.

NO SHAME

New order of this age:- Just have no shame!
Our perks we must enjoy; Let's play the game.
Set an example, go on vacation;
Have a good time, time for recreation,
And never mind the expense; No pretense,
Martha's Vinyard greens fee is a pittance;
Extra putts will be needed, no offense...

OCCULTATIONS

Omniscience/predestination form a loose syllogism,
Compel Reason to question the reality of free will,
Creating a battle between Doubt and Belief, a schism
Unusually paradoxical and perturbing until
Light finally crept out like the sun from a total eclipse.
The fate of everyone is clear to God's Unbounded Vision;
All souls undeserving are turned back like comets in ellipse
To learn more...perhaps, to go thru painful reincarnation...
I fear Divine Truth is often hidden by Satan's legions,
Occulted by antiquated rituals and false religions.
No Faith can endure unless hard Science supports and conjoins.
Search, therefore, I urge you, for New Truths in God's Cosmic regions!
