INTERLUDE

I bravely travel quite alone at night,
'Neath my warm sheets by out-of-body flight;
'Tis but my restless soul, never sleeping,
Exploring places that I've been keeping
Recorded in magnificent glory,
Locked in my heart--a vivid memory
Untouched by Time:- Our manse, a 2-story...
Did not Grandma's demesne stand over there?
Evanescent..! Not e'en an empty chair....

ZYGOSIS

Zeroing on the current 'zygosis' debate-
Your unborn child's fate is not yours to terminate.
God alone should decide what is appropriate;
Omniscient Creator gave that child a soul,*
So to serve Him and to test humans-one and all.
If Pro-Choice adherents refuse to believe me,
Someday surely they will regret their INFAMY!

*When the male sperm finally comes into contact with
the female ovum, a kind of minute brief spark occurs--
sometimes noticed during in vitro fertilization. This
is supposed to confirm the divine intervention and
introduction of the soul to the human embryo. Human
life has began, hence protected under God's 6th Commandment.

SOJOURN

Soon or late, this sojourn will end;
Octogenarians must forfend.
Just in case I too must depart
Or am to make another start-
Understand, please, my foolish heart:-
Return my ashes to that hill*
Near Nanang's* place where Time stood still.

(*that small hill east of and facing
our Grandma's house.)

IMPROBABLE

It seems improbable that there are extraterrestrial beings here...
MUFON, however, as well as other scientists think otherwise.
Perhaps a squadron of UFOs or USOs need to appear
Right above the White House roof, there to send their challenging chastise.
Obama as world leader was given the task to cull barbarians;
By failing to complete his job, his successor must assume the burden.
Assistance by Guardians will necessarily affect some civilians,
Because induced disasters and accidents could occur now and then.
Let your hubris go, human; You are not the apex of creation!
End your petty wars so you may join the Galactic Federation!

INCREDIBLE

In the Holy Quran, we note God's command:-"THOU SHALT NOT KILL."
Now, jihadists, who told you to kill innocent people still?
Continued slaying/pillaging won't provide a caliphate.
Reject barbarisms or be doomed to an accursed fate!
Educated Muslims, enlightened mullahs, time to speak out;
Do your duty as learned leaders:- Time to lecture and shout:-
In today's 21st century world, we must live in PEACE,
Because nuclear war could spell the end of the human species.
Let not madmen in pursuit of global power kill us all...
Extinction lies in their hands; No need for asteroids to fall!

INANITIES

I had, I think, an out-of-body experience...
Nobody in the crowd felt my etheric presence:-
An 'election email' scandal was unravelling;
Not only millennials, even their elders were yelling:-
Injustice against Bernie Sanders was committed!!
The DNC chairwoman's emails - not disputed,
In legal Latin parlance "Res ipse loquitor"-
Exposes biased judgment by the executor!
Schultz, despite long service, had to be shown the back door.

IN DENIAL

ISIS does not pose a grave threat to Uncle Sam;
No need to refuse sanctuary to refugees;
Definitely helpless and harmless (as I am...)
Employment increased; Hence, joblessness should decrease.
Never has the world been less violent than now!
I must keep my promise to close Guantanamo!
A few domestic violence won't break my vow!
Let me level the playing field before I go...!

(...and if I can't, I may declare Martial Law!)
