WILLFUL BLINDNESS


 “With willful blindness practiced now by most, a peaceful future's very much in doubt. When nuclear bombs could make this planet toast, that willful blindness we could do without! When folks start daily reading “Counterpunch”, then maybe we will see some rays of hope. Right now so many minds are out-to-lunch, that Life on Earth is running out o' rope! So, reader, do ya care, er do ya not? Since some don't care, the end is getting near. We must appreciate this chance we've got, and act ta save this planet! Did ya'll hear?”

TO MY SELF AND YOU ON LOVE AND PRAYER


Why not more often meditate, my friend, why underestimate your need ta pray? If You the Deity would apprehend, why don't ya offer Thanks throughout each day? Why not get still at times and practice peace, if only briefly, when ya have a chance? And make requests; your blessings will increase, you'll find some good in every circumstance. I wish ya all the love ya Crave so much; and you can generate some love yourself. May Jesus grant ta you a lovin' touch, and you love Him, and everybody else! Ta love yourself 's a Necessary thing, so, please, do not neglect your Own self-care; ta get the gifts that only love can bring, why not love everybody, everywhere?”

TOWARD FEELING GLAD


(sermon to myself)

“When negativity comes creepin' in, it's time that you took better care o' You. To Love yourself is certainly no sin; self-care is something All of us should Do. Beware of vanity and praise-and-blame, a high ambition may precede a fall. And if ya Blow it, call on Jesus' name, request his aid; he'll help ya Through it all! With Jesus near, what need is there ta fear? The Lord will help ya overcome the bad! His kindly love will make a pathway clear, and soon you'll get ta where you're feelin' Glad!”

TURN AROUND


 “Trump prides himself on nonsense every day, and Pence? Complicit, friends, as he can be. It seems that ignorance and greed are holding sway, and harming life and good from A-ta-Z. Republicans, you often act like scum, and Democrats, you've no excuse at all. Why pride yourselves on doing stuff that's dumb? At times you show unmitigated Gall! Dear Lord, relieve us, please, of folks like those! Transform their hearts and minds ta kinder ones! This ecocidal era, let's us close! Destroy the bombs and automatic guns! Destroy the missiles, feed and house the poor! Provide fer all the best of Health care Now! Let none of us be heartless, anymore! Lord, Lead our hearts ta Love, and show us How!”

 “Now, why should you attack an enemy? Why add to any animosity? 'Cause hatred doesn't cease by vibing hate, it might be better, friend, ta pray and wait! And Why not show your foe some loving care?
