Ancient Man saw bones Of
Dinosaurs and exclaimed,
"Look! There be Dragons!"


Modern Man sees bones
Of Dragons and says, "Oh look!
There were Dinos here!"
Dinosaurs are Birds not Reptiles.
2. “Not even a Sparrow falls apart from the Father.” (Matthew 10:29)
3. Though this has its funny aspects it's not satire, it's true.


God was in a joyous mood
When He created Birds!
That fifth yom He went feather-wild!
Heaps of herds and hoards of Birds.

From Mountains high to Oceans blue.
This World was theirs, forever so!
Eternal-Now was all they knew!
And it was all that they COULD know!


They roared and danced
And sung and pranced,
Became enhanced;
And grew and GREW
And GREW and GREW!


They shrieked in glee!
(Pure wild! Pure free!)
Lept to to the thundering, cloudy skies
They seized the sparkling blue!


For sixty-million, dragon years
They tended their young
And ruled the skies!
The few who saw the bad rock                                                             ­

Gazed calmly with unknowing eyes!


One moment live, the next one, dead!
(To think such rocks still out there: Dread!!!!)
In Just one breath most Birds were GONE!!!
But Mammals lived and carried on!



Then along came Humanity,
With our Divine Insanity.
0ur Crazy-Dream that
Death could DIE!!
But is that silly, really?
Really, really silly?
                                            ?

So we grew up in ALL WAYS into Christ.
Lost our meanness, became nice!
And We built Ourselves a Treasure-Square!

All of life and love are there!


Though the stars contract
And the Cosmos cracks
The worlds shrink back
And the atoms snap!
And the Big Crunch wins
Inside that Cube we live as Kings!


Covered in millions of flashing jewels!
Nothing and never is anything cruel!
Kindness and Joy, Logic and Love,
Always, always, ALWAYS the rule!


With every environment wild or tame
From Bedford Falls to Istanblane
Anything that you could want!
From Gems and gold to Elephants!


We grew up in All Ways Into The Word,*
Who vowed that not one, Single Bird
Would fall apart,
From His gentle Mind
And His Gracious Heart!*

(Now remember: Sixty-million years of them!)

So! Angel’s choir practice: Session One.
A T-Rex joins in! Ain't that fun?!
Admiring a verdant Forest?
Here scurries a flock of Apatosaurus's!



My mansion shouldn’t be for Birds!!
For herds and Hoards and flocks of Birds!
I don’t mean to fuss or rage,
But is this Heaven or a Big Bird Cage?!
*Ephesians 4:15
*Revelation 21:16
*Ephesians 4:15
*Matthew 10:29
“The Dinosaurs went extinct because they did not have a space program.” Arthur. C. Clarke.


I stand here at the checkout line
“Paper or plastic?” the young Clerk states
Unthinking and so innocent!
(No knowledge of the bag’s long fate).


They were big and wondrous Birds
With flashing feathers, wild and free!
The World was theirs. Forever so
From Hill to Dale, and Swamp to Sea!


For Sixty-Million-Dragon years!
They danced and fought and sexed and loved!
Knew nothing of dark, deadly rocks
Hurled from the sizzling skies above!

To them it was forever NOW;
Tended their Young and won the skies.
The few who saw the bad thing fall
Gazed calmly with unknowing eyes.


How suddenly their chirps were lost!
One moment live, the next all gone!
In but a blink the Birds were dead!
We Mammals lived and carried on!


Flash forward back ten million years.
Big Boxes are our Planet’s fads.
Big Bird’s goo, just auto food!
Just gas and oil and plastic bags!
God did not destroy the Dinosaurs
He gave them wings!
Why oh why do we ever doubt
That He will do the same for us?
They didn't die, those mighty Beasts!
But tooth and claw and snarls and roars
were tamed to chirps and feathers!'

If God can tame the mighty Dinosaur
Why oh why do we ever doubt
That He will do the same for us?

The Dinosaurs were huge with pride.
Defiantly they roared at rocks that fell!
For all the good it did.
The rock still f

Time is God’s strong Healer.
It raises Beasts and casts them to the dust.
Yet through all of this a Golden Thread
Treads down evolution’s path.
It goes Somewhere.
Oh yes! Oh yes! If God can fell
The Mighty Dinosaur
And yet raise him to the soaring skies,
Why oh why do we find it
So very hard to believe

That He won't do the same to us?
When Dinos looked up at the sky
What Dragon Dreams did they desire?
What longings stirred their Reptile Hearts?
What set their scaly Souls on FIRE!!?

Evolution says the tomes
Consists of strength and skill not hope.
The ones who can out breed the ones
Who simply cannot cope.


But look! Most Dinos lost their genes
To Meteor's fiery, snuffling crash.
Skillessness was not the cause
That doomed them to a dead-end past.


But some did change themselves to Birds
With wings and ways to reach the skies!
Strength and skill were not their Ark:
The genes that longed to SOAR survived!
This was written when I was in Jr High, before it was well known that Dinosaurs were Birds, not Reptiles.
Matthew 5:5

Mighty Monarch of young Earth
Black against the Rising Sun!
Your Voice like THUNDER, Shook the Hills!
You Roared to greet the Terrible Dawn!!!

Yours was the way of strength and size!
Of prideful being and fright-full might!
We tiny Shrews who ****** your eggs
Ran like frightened Lunar Shadows at the
Coming of the Light!


You couldn't comprehend your fate
Or to the heights those little Mice would RISE
That we who cowered beneath your feet
Would grow to soar through Alien Skies!

We couldn't comprehend OUR FATE!
We ran to flee the Dangerous Morn!
Oh that such shivery-little-nothing-beasts
Would roar to greet a Different Dawn!
The different dawn I am referring to is a Martian Sunrise, not nuclear disaster.

I know you've heard of RINOs,
Perhaps you've heard of DINOs,
Some Christians are called CINOs,
Are those men mere MINOs.
Women become WINOs
(the irony doesn't escape me though)
Humans evolved to HINOs;
Friends are friends
I'll never call them  FINOs.
Avoid lovers who are LINOs,
And teachers who are TINOs.
Could a Jew be a JINO?

But make no mistake:
Terrorists are Terrorists,
Jihadists are Jihadists,
Haters are Haters,
War mongers are war mongers,
Liars lie.

It's We thePeople, PINOs.
I'm sure you couold add many of your own ___INOs. And the initial letter on many ___INOs can stand for so much more. We need more substance in our lives and less veneer.

untitled (vs. imperialism + its idyllic head, which is only idolic, cult of personality)


The tug of war between our better, worser angels, voices in our heads that aren't,
an aspect of sociological schizophrenia that Westerners were all programmed with
from birth on, tears at us as it was meant to, for the divided fall to ebony, ivory,
the black and white supremacies, conquering in perfect harmony, neigh, perfect war,
which can only beget more, thus the global unending unnecessary war against all life
only increases, as the irrelevant pieces are discarded ever more, for more, now, 13000
kids a day die of lack of potable water, hunger, while the 130 running for manager-
in-chief of the world's retail store, the united **** of assassins, won't mention it
once, what the real left always fought to end.  Like genocide, remember when it was
commonly understood if you knew about it and weren't fighting it you were a genocider?
Just last year Coates on the Hayes show said, "...if you think whites shouldn't be
genocided you're a racist...", a song of economic sukkkcess by ebony over ivory for
them and the republican conspiracy, for, the only other things, besides neutering of
newborns, assassinating infants in cribs, anatomical destruction and mass-****** of
kids, teens, that they have enforcing their 35 % ruling the 65 % are all the inter-
locking, laced economic systems based on scarcity instead of nature's abundance,
ever increasing the supposed garnering of ever more short-term delusional pleasures,
profits and powers, in ever more cyclical, centralizing patterns that dictate
astronomically larger real deficits over the long-term, in a word, Earth-******,
the central organizing theme of global defacto-slavery of all by the non-renewable fuel
industrial complexes, the real left vexes with our unifying song of liberation from
and abolishing of fossil fuel use, keeping it all in the ground, which is where they
pound the real (non-socialist) greens.  Why don't our hands demand "...We(e),..." climb,
our streching demand we reach only more over time, our lungs only more wind under an
only greater wingspan over time, instead of the opposite?  "...We(e),..." need to
turn 360 degrees around, back to the evolution and the future humanity will only
have if you, illimitable potential, indivisible as life, leave no footprints that
follow none, which will echo forever on, in all ways, always.  Viva la Evolucion.
My twig  of poetree that inspired this one   :)  

Nature's Balanced Path, Giving Back To Abundance, Furthers

Betwixt our better and worser ..., voices in our heads
That aren't, nor curser, for our inner candle's always lite
So we don't curse the darkness, weeded, bring forth
From the Earth more, demanded by our roots, feet, hands, score.   reality

Chucked between a rock as he walked my way
Not a shiver or shift moved through my spine
Not a whisper or whiff brought my presence to life
While giant feet stamped down plants
The hope of them to regrow
Not a chance.
Out of nowhere came a fabulous beast with razor teeth
Charging for the him
Thoughts of his dinner ran through my brain as the motion battle continued
Little did they know time wasn't on their side
As what was to come was on its way
The big ball of iridium that clash on the clay where they stay
Perhaps I would stay and watch how we end
But it would be mine too
Since ash, gas and debris aren't my friends
Boom, Bang, Bomb
It struck the earth with all that sound
Standing on my tower it was the last of the sun
The land was never the same just brown
Looking through my longest eye
I saw earth's most intelligent taken at a flash
The forest beside me burned and torched
As the dust, smoke and starvation took what was left without a frown
The collision caused the extinction
Looking up from my cave of doom
My eye caught sight of an flying beast consuming his last breath as I did mine
Age of the dinos
The end- Time Z
