TRANQUILLITY*

There is a way how you, if ill, your Self may heal:-
Regard your mind as part of our Lord's firmament;
Ask God for help and He will answer your appeal...
Never even doubt! His healing light will be sent--
Quivering multicolored shafts will emanate
Unbidden from a tiny pinpoint in your head.
It is better that you focus and concentrate;
Leave other concerns if you can, but you must dare.
Let nothing distract you, for those shafts must be led
Into that part of your corpus that needs repair.
The healing takes time, so always do this while in bed.
You should thank God because you're ever in His care!

entitled piece published in "Mostly Acrostics".)

ULTIMATUM

Unveiled to me just now--this Palestinian intent:-
Looks like killers of Israelites are pensioned off!
These inciters and incited are malevolent!
I fear even their children are poisoned by this guff:-
Monthly paid 'pensions' for murdering innocent Jews!
An Apocalypse might soon lay waste to Palestine...
This warning comes from a coalition of the Righteous:-
Unless Sanity & Peace returns to Levantine,
May the rulers there feel the Wrath of the Lord Divine!

AGHAST*

A Lame Duck is leaving a big muck from his poops,
Gyrating smugly with no excuses, no 'Ooops!!'
He makes no reasonable explanation,
As tho' he cares not a bit for his action!
Since he does expose our ally--Israel
To grave harm, will you let this Duck duck?... Do tell!

*(Query to the President-elect.)

INTERMINABLE

Interminable war amongst members of the human race
Notwithstanding Christ's promise to peacemakers is a disgrace.
There's more than enough nuclear bombs now to destroy our planet.
Enough already, humans! There are better things to do yet...
Remember Earth is but a tiny speck in our Milky Way;
My dream is to find New Eden/s no matter how far away.
I would like to be able to travel beyond Orion,
Not I personally but by Man's super-able scion.
And so our species should in time spread to countless galaxies!
But these high hopes and fascinatingly imagined journeys
Lose potential when nuclear war becomes a reality.
Extinction is our fate if we persist in stupidity.

WE NEED YOU GOD *

When Peace is dashed and good conduct takes a nose dive,
Extreme maneuvers might be needed to survive..?

No need to murder just to seize a neighbor's land;
Entreat Almighty God, ask for His Helping Hand:-
Engage in peaceful strategy...Diplomacy!
Do not resort to violent Contumacy!

You do still have a 'disengagement' policy.
On what basis now must that be abrogated..?
Unless people's brains have become desiccated!

God gave us in the past leaders with common sense;
Ought we to treat their 'treaty' pure foolish nonsense?
DIVINE INTERVENTION WILL BE THE CONSEQUENCE !!

*(MEMO for the Israelites & the Palestinians)

ANTICIPATION

A new leader, a new regime, and a New Age!!??
New breakthroughs in Science, in all fields of Knowledge?!
The technocrats are kicking out the autocrats?
If so, could this be the curse of the Democrats?
Corruption, prevarication, cronyism
In government may be worse than terrorism!
Patriotism coupled with boundless Energy
Are our President-elect's innate weaponry!
Today I anticipate a new tomorrow!
I have high hopes we'll have greater strength, less sorrow;
Our children's children will explore the farthest stars!
No more greedy politicians and NO MORE WARS!

TURN RIGHT

Trump be nimble, please be quick;
Uncle Sam looks rather sick...
Rue not 'feckless' Obama
(Never solved our 'problema'!)

Reds having won the election,
Irate Blues have no more option...
Going, soon gone that toxic D.C. swamp,
Horrified crony leeches must decamp;
Trump and team will erase that Jayvee stamp!!
