A SACRED AND SECURE SPACE

Leave a reply

(An opinion in a practical religious context)

–

Muslims Jews and Christians  agree,

It goes against sanity…

For “LGBTQ’s”

Both bathrooms to use,

With total impunity!

–

Guys don’t mind looking at a girl

Think she’s a man–what a thrill…

But “girls” made like guys

A boy often lies,m

Ro get hormonal toe curls!

–

Men and women don’t mix,

Anatomically betwixt…

Security most times

On women’s minds,

Secure and private functions are blitzed!

–

We believe humans basically evil,

This POLITICAL oppression’s the devil…

Giving predators free rein

And those who complain

Are chastised for being “evil”.

–

An opinion post, based on religious and experiential  fact.

CHRONIC DEPRESSION VERSUS THE LORD

Leave a reply

(From the author’s notebook.  Written 4/14/16)

–

Depression seen as chronic,

Folks judge moronic…

Why choose

And refuse

To be catatonic?

–

Some have the crazy idea,

Behavior is willful and clear…

Always a choice

With inner voice,

Pointing the way to steer!

–

“Just stop that,” is a farce,

Who gave you the right to parse…?

Some things are not

As easily shot,

Without making it worse!

–

Why don’t you understand

Continuing to reprimand…

This creation fallen

Is appalling,

But the way things currently stand?

–

The chronic depressed are cast,

Into a bullring vast…

One says, “OLE”

All you need to say

Is begone, and the sickness is past”!

–

We’re often pushed aside,

Who will the “gutless”  abide…?

But Christ’s embrace

Filled with grace

Can heal all that’s inside!

SORRY TO BLOG AND SCRAM!

Leave a reply

The nature of who I am,

So sorry to post and scram…

Wife want eating

Three meals completing,

I’l come back here if I can!

–

This blogs my poetry,

Finding mine is the key…

SEARCH:  “Caswell”–

Most are  revealed,

Written heroically!

–

As to the prompt–almost any–

Subject inspiring–many…

Three or four styles

Bring you smiles,

A Christian blog not like any?

NOBODY WANTED OUR POT–LUCK!

Leave a reply

We took what I thought worth taking,

A soup of my own making…

Boiled cabbage and ham

But no thank you Ma’am,

Just me and the wife were taking.

–

Competition was rather strong,

Lasagna and casserole gone…

What little we ate

I’d consolidate

And use for suppers till gone!

–

I had someone’s lemon meringue,

Almost too sweet–no tang–

Along with ice cream

(And lasagna again!),

Enough food for the whole gang!

–

My wife left her pink NORTH  CREEK hat,

I’m rescuing stuff like that…

Everyone knows

Keeping track of clothes

Is anything but old hat!

GLAD I’M BROKE–SORT OF GLAD!

Leave a reply

The days after Halloween,

Sales candy lovers’ dream…

Half-off and more

In any store,

Diabetics don’;t need these dreams!

AN EXPLANATION–THE “BLOGGERS TO AVOID” PAGE:

Leave a reply

In form of a poem—of course!

–

The page, “Bloggers to Avoid.”

A subject with which I’ve toyed…

They aren’t really bad–

Just blogs that had-

Asked me their posts to void!

–

I have, without asking their reason,

Complied with proper completion…

Removed their posts

As a proper host,

Using the device of deletion.

–

Even if you like my page,

Go see the good things they have…

Really fine

Worth your time,

It’s just me they didn’t want engaged!

DOUGLAS AXE COMPANY

Leave a reply

Apartment housing now,

For Douglas Axe, stones made them proud…

Grinding blades

To great accolades,

Their blades won awards all around.

–

But the folks near grinding wheels,

Paid their own price for the deal…

Metal/stone breathed in

Brought grief to them,

“Grinders’ consumption was real!

STANDING STILL VERSUS SITTING STILL

Leave a reply

Says God Almighty, “Stand still”

“To see what becomes of My will…”

Deliverance comes

As one of God’s sons,

Standing ready for His will.

–

Sit when the journey’s complete,

Time to relax–rest the feet–

Gospel shoes on–

Be ready for the dawn–

When we our Savior will meet!

–

Christ has sat down,

Beside his Father crowned…

Awaiting that day

Those who stand ready are snatched away,

Then the ones ready  sit wearing crowns!

A LOT OF SCAMS OUT THERE!

Leave a reply

Beware of all those scams,

And gods who claim they’re “I AM’s”…

Saying the bible

Isn’t so vital,

And all Christian service pans!

–

If one SAYS one is Christian but not,

One is liable for judgment “hot”…

Deceiving Man

Is the Devil’s plan,

Are you a part of his plot?

–

Other religions taking our cues,

Decide to help–that’s news!

The wrongs they claim

Are often their main

Modus operandi, too!

–

Rather than putting us down,

Rather help all work strong…

Bitter exchange

Is beyond the range,

Of charity work and is wrong!

–

Based upon observing the posts currently available in the Reader, and the author’s own sense of decency toward relief efforts (the way they should be !).  An Opinion Post.

LIKE A COMMUTE ON INDIA’S RAILWAYS???

Leave a reply

More hair-raising every year,

At least to this older guy…

Twenty-five miles

Of various trials,

He prays every trip and here’s why.

–

Summertime  heavy traffic,

Northbound is never static…

Construction zones–

Several tight ones–

Vehicle flow is erratic!

–

Each section needs different skills,

Mostly a matter of wills…

Drive forward hard

Give not a yard,

Take it high speed over hills!

–

He stays in the slow lane,

High speed isn’t his thing…

Gradual loss

For him is his cross,

But happy he is still driving!
