A painting of “ESTHER LING,”
Indeed is it the real thing…?
The one we loved
And her blog, white doved,
Or is it just a representative thing?

A painting of “ESTHER LING,”
Indeed is it the real thing…?
The one we loved
And her blog, white doved,
Or is it just a representative thing?

Jonathan Caswell
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?
–
–Jonathan Caswell
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.

–Jonathan Caswell
Had to see what is true,
When media screw…
News stories
To mirror their creeds,
With an objective to undo?
–
Yellow and jingo once printed,
Are nothing compared to hate printed….
Open rebellion
Looks Orwellian,
By big financiers it’s rented.
–
FOX NEWS is giving in
To the liberal din…
Instead of balancing
Progressive thinking,
Surrender is made to their sin.

–A Political Opinion Poem–by Jonathan Caswell
(Image from atomicredhead.com)
–
According to a guy on TV,
The English (?) gladly…
Put on costumes
Because one assumes,
They want interesting lives madly!
–
Ready new lives to embark,
Dress up like the theme of a park…
Like Janey here
You’ll be sincere,
Making a positive mark!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
Not talking of bent underneath,
But forks whose existence ceased…
Unexplainable
Evidence unobtainable,
The hair on this head duly creased!
–
Unexplained portals in time,
Is this what happened to mine?
Does a quantum mechanic
Have something for panic,
Because of something stealing him blind?
–
If he washes dishes,
His answer may be less suspicious…
This lazy gourmand
At the bottom of his pond,
May discover forks propitious!

This poem is based in part on a late night radio discussion related to the SOKAL AFFAIR…a literary hoax perpetrated in 1996, by Alan Sokal, a physics professor at New York University and University College London. He essentially produced a “scholarly” paper, submitted and accepted by a peer review professional journal…that was essentially a total farce, with big words and phrases meaning nothing and saying nothing—and nobody caught it or the joke!—Information via WIKIPEDIA.
–
The program on late night radio was on the Buck Sexton Radio program, heard on WTAG, 580 AM AND 94.9 FM..(I-HEART Radio). or at http://bucksexton.com/ Two other men tried a similar stunt…which was similarly unquestioningly received…even by a certain very recent former President.
–
Anyway…my opinion of these scholarly attempts to wake people up:
–
THE SOKAL EFFECT–WHO WAS FOOLISH?
–
Two academics decided,
The SOKAL AFFAIR, to retry it…
They thought the echelon
Would soon catch on,
To the foolish words and not buy it.
–
Alas, they were amazed,
When the stupid thing was praised…
No one claimed to see
Its tomfoolery,
And no objections were raised!
–
Alas, poor academia,
Write crap–you think it love–
“Goobledegook”
As truth they took,
On which none suspected of…!
–
The authors, on Buck Sexton’s show,
Said academia scored very low…
Feeding such junk
To students who sunk
Under such high=priced foolishness—low!
–
It troubles me that they tried,
With hopes of opening eyes…
Weren’t they aware
That complicity there,
Had already stagnified?
–
Embarrassing people is the same
As a liberal calling bad names…
Same vocabulary–
What eye opening–
Wasting time on trite little games?
–
Truth must come by force,
Changing hearts, not playing horse…
Christ had to die
Be sin crucified,
To change a human soul’s course!
–
If you sound just like their friend,
Why expect foolishness’ end…
Look act like one
You’re shot before begun,
No matter what you’d intend.
–
A dirty joke it was,
A lot of people “buzzed”…
Doesn’t help squat
If the whole lot,
Misses the point of the cause!

(for whatever good this is!)
Near the Back Gate I see
What look like rain drops to me…
Sun on a web
Shining instead,
On the camera for L.D.

All kinds of stories about Him,
Major magazines by their whim…
Pile up “facts”
From historical “acts”
Pushing faith so thin.
–
Glorious videotography,
Impressing the simple like me…
Easily swayed
With not much aid,
Cast doubt on Jesus’ deity!
–
“Christian scholars” are used,
In programs where faith is disabused…
Faith in God’s word
Portrayed as absurd,
Is implied and accused.
–
Subtle persuasion proceeds,
knocking support from God’s deeds…
Historical’s fine
But draw the line,
Or your Accuser succeeds!’-
–
I’ve heard the insults of men,
And arguments of religion…
That cunningly catch
Your faith dispatch,
Woo you to legalism!
–
Stand firm even to stand,
Don’t be deceived even then…
Christ is your King
Give God everything,
Don’t stay submerged in you sin.

According to GROUND ZERO,
Trump may be the hero….
final man
to withstand,
A one-world government credo.
–
Similarly as how foretold,
Opposition is getting bold…
Both Houses packed
With folks who’ll enact,
What would allow NATO a foothold!
–
Shadow government’s in place,
Higher-ups we won’t face…
Secretly
Destroying the free,
Waiting to play their “Ace”.
