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
It sounds controversial
For a Christian to appeal…
To believers of all other gods
To lend their aid and deal…
With the human suffering
Of two major hurricanes
Families of many faiths
Enduring loss and pain!
–
Even if you have no god,
Please think good thoughts to heal…
It’ll be a long time till many folks
Return to an even keel;
This is what my Dad might have done
In his liberal theology…
Reaching out to all concerned
With no apology!
–
I’ m thinking of a special friend,
A blogger fresh and true…
Known as Holly Hunter
And other Floridians, too;
Her “House of Heart” is quiet till
She survives the storm….
I repeat my concern
For her a colleagues’ love is warm!
–
To our knees, lotus positions, or however you access the divine—for the sake all storm victims!
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!

Trump said most recently,
Congress must see reality…
Force their spending
Like ours–unending,
Without taxpayer subsidy!
–
Republicans want to give up,
Business as usual stuff…
THEIR coffers full–
Why should they pull
For anyone when they’re ensured enough?
–
Check what I said earlier*
FEW POLITICIANS are pure…
Blind to our needs
While their guarantees,
Set them up royally for sure!
–
–Jonathan Caswell
*See my poem FIRESSTORM MATERIAL–POLITICAL, posted earlier today.
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!

(A POLITICAL LIMERICK POEM—SATIRICAL FORM)
Cosplay—the playing of parts,
Dressed-up in costumes d’arts…
Resistance she claims
She’s in with the dames,
Who want Trump cut into parts!
–
Will she in her cosplay, dress,
As a female Che Guevera, I guess…..
A camo “two piece”
Would shock at least,
Her lovely hair a mess.

I might as well jump in,
Nordstrom’s committed the sin…
Admitting mud fake
Was part of the take,
More chemicals we’re dipped in???

Troubles keeping from sleep,
Oh what struggles to keep…
Time to let go
Before he sinks low,
He’ll be an exhausted heap!
–
Desperation comes,
The pinnacle of his sums…
Adding up fast
To disastrous blast,
Never ready for what comes!
–
His dad had a similar feat,
Struggling in his sleep…
Sat bolt upright:
“Lord–You take it, Alright?”
And fell into deep, peaceful sleep!
–
Obsession easily comes,
Will you stick to your guns…
Give it the Lord–
Peace then restored–
Doze off after a few “ho-hums”.

IT WAS nice and cold,
But the fifties this weekend we’re told…
Bouncing around
In winter we’ve found
More likely to foster a cold.
–
Tonight we expect rain,
How long it will freeze can’t say…
Supposedly warm
By tomorrow’s form,
Much snow will wash away!
–
Is this our January thaw,
Before February’s cold and raw…
Massachusetts waits
To see if it skates,
Until Spring flowers grow tall!
–
Began raining by this time,
Slushy sidewalks are slimed…
Slippery-wet
It’s warmer yet,
Temperature’s on the incline!

Rain-snow line moves north
Changing forecast shows its worth
Road treatment’s head start!

Seeing who comes in
Depending on where they live,
Predictions spot on?

Pick ups early done
Before the roads get too bad
Less drivers–more plows!
