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!”

THAT MORE OF JOY WILL SOON APPEAR

That More of Joy Will Soon Appear

Too many plants and animals are dyin', too many soldier's mothers now are cryin', too many crooks their selfishness denyin', and still we slumber on. Too many politicians lies are sayin', too many faithless people never prayin', too many fools their god of greed obeyin', and still we slumber on.

“So When will we aWaken?”, I dare ask. There still are blessings all aRound us Here! So, Holy Spirit, What should be my task? “Ta Love... that More of Joy will soon appear! Okay?”

(a poem for kids)

So Many plants and animals are GONE. We Need ta Change our Ways, and Change 'em Fast! Dear Mother Nature's looking Weak... and Wan – this USING her the way we do can't Last! This Eatin' Meat, an' burnin' coal and oil, they're Things we're Needing Now and soon ta Quit. And Poisonin' the Water, Air, and Soil? How CRAzy Greed kin Make us Humans Git!

Just How are We these days deFINing Wealth? As pleasures, comforts, Gold, and Piles o' Cash? Our Lives dePend on Mother Nature's HEALTH! Why Turn her Lovely Bounty Inta Trash?

Yes, You and I and All of us must Change, and find more WHOLEsome Ways of Havin' Fun. Our Lives' Priorities let's rearrange… and Git this work o' world salvation Done!
