Can we see a seventy-something Who strangely now has nothing There's a difference one can see Between the man and his decree In the little time before his death Before he takes that final breath I'd like to see him find some peace Before his chains to earth release He so needs the great divide Trails along a mountainside Above the clouds and taking in All the grandour that's therein I wish he would partake In the beauty of a mountain lake And stay so long without a care Between the pines and mountain air I'd like to see him run through grass Barefoot 'til his cares he'll pass And in a sunset find real peace As all his burdens finally cease

Please save your applause until the end The gun rights people have done it again I heard 8 died yesterday Please support your NRA Why did the police have to go get him? Why didn't the bystanders' guns open fire? 'Course then the number could be higher Ain't that the NRA algorithm? How could this make anyone sick? So "the militia" didn't interdict? If guns don't **** but people do Why do they want their guns then too?

Guns
I sat beside him at Good Will His face was nearly always red He tried with every ounce but still His service somehow anger bred He didn't earn a rightful wage His return was mostly rage The very most that most could say Was he was there most every day He seemed to have a dismal plight But I could see beyond his pain How he fought an Apostle's fight Each day to do it all again I saw him on the bus one day He was with friend who seemed a fan I thought what some might never say That he was one great Man

A cold wind in time's corridor Blew throughout my life before Then an Angel brought to me A warmth I thought I'd never see You've been more than just a friend Angel of my best Amen When I shouldered every care Without you, I might not be here The kindness of my Angel gleams My hope of hopes; my dream of dreams How I love you dearest friend My love for you will never end

My Everything
There was a time before And there was a time later on That melted this nation's core With now 5 people gone You destroyed your stand Now you have a ****** hand Do you now need more Innocent blood to pour? You are murders today How many more must die? Why do innocents have to pay And loved ones have to cry? A young Luke Skywalker once was here Now he takes his father's sword He's gone to dark-side overlord Now he deals in hate and fear

Blood on the Capitol
"While There is Still Time" There is a certain path in life Which one should just ignore For in the end is surely strife And bears a false allure The natural state is human sweat The natural way is to procure Of this there is no secret kept Real people must endure The slippery slope draws us in Bad ways in time the more It gets much harder to break with sin And a soul that's soft inure This world's riches one could drain And live forever in perfect health But that treasure would less obtain Than one who conquers just one's self

While There is Still Time
Didn't they tell you, my friend A worse 9/11 just happened From Wednesday into 1:30 AM 36 hundred lives at end You knew a quarter million died That was not so long ago Add 50 thousand to that slide Lost to COVID's undertow Over 113 thousand too Might need the call of "Doctor Blue!" Hospitalized with more to come Don't add to that gigantic sum Friend we need to comprehend We're in a war without much refuge By next Christmas this may end Don't add others to this deluge

The Grim Keeper
This Christmas folks are in distress Some have much and some have less People who are blessed And others overstressed Many have no place to go As the cold winds blow Many are in so much need With families to somehow feed Nobody deserved what happened here The loss of life and all the fear There are people with everything And those with barely anything Before we give what some don't need Might we our hungry neighbors feed? Then enjoy the season bright Knowing that we got it right

The Gift
Lord, thank you that the first vaccine Went first to those who cared for us The first ones there upon the scene It was wise, and it was just Thank you for their first response We pray they know your love ensconced They who took work to new heights They who fought the best of fights Lord, they did it out of love They surrendered to your hand above And then they made it part of them Please bless these heroes And Amen

"Apart Meant" Remember me in words you cussed In circular arguments left nonplussed In your hatred all around In every evil here you found Remember me when boots once tread Upon my face 'til yours was red In every angry bitter thought That amplified your hatred wrought Remember me in lies untold As shape-shifting explanations sold Off the tongue of damage caused Without recourse to crowd's applause Remember me when you are old And friends are hard to find At end when all in blink unfolds And truth in death is mine
