FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE


 “By definition, cruel isn't kind, and Living Truth is not the same as lies. And fears and hatred make the angry Blind, and folks are fools if they believe they're wise! Lord, Help me be your student, please, today… ta practice loving-kindness all the time. There's dragons out there someone needs ta slay, and also mountains I might need ta climb. So, strengthen my resolve, please, won't ya, Lord? And bless my heart with courage, now and here. Let's all now pray fer good, in one accord, and make the way fer peace and justice clear! Amen!”

LAND OF LOVE

 “Lord, How ta make poetic beauty last?” “Ya need ta live the love which you describe. The beauty may be real, but soon it’s past, unless it’s endless love ya always vibe!” “Lord, help my love be constant, true, and kind; please, help me persevere in love each day. May all who come ta me such kindness find, that Love’s the Land where they will choose ta stay!”

TOWARD HEAVEN

When hearts be cruel, many things go wrong. When prayer gets neglected, folks get lost. If You’d stay richly blessed your whole life long, you’ll love the Lord, and never count the cost. Lord, help my heart be loving, kind, and sweet; and please, accept the thanks I offer You! Please, guide my thoughts, my words, my hands and feet, and stay right by my side the whole day through! And when my work and play today are done, please, help me rest in peaceful slumber, Lord. You are my ever-loving Holy One; let’s make it Heaven we are headed toward! Thank You!”

LET'S WOO THE WORLD TO CHRIST!

Now, why do something cruel, anyway? I guess some get a kick from being mean. The consequences rarely do they weigh, the karma often goes quite unforeseen. To love your foes works wonders, oftentimes, and folks discover love within their hearts. Be very kind to those who do the crimes, and you may find a revolution starts! If love’s ta overcome, we gotta love; let’s love ourselves and all our neighbors, too. That’s how we’ll See the world we’re Dreaming of. We’ve got a world of humans here, ta woo! So, Let’s Do it!”

YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH

 “When ‘news’ is like an intravenous drip, and all the lies are drugs which kill the mind, ya wonder when will people get more hip, and rediscover truth, and be more kind. But truth and kindness I must practice first, just like the old “let peace begin with me”. And though the corporations do their worst, let’s you and I keep Saying what we see!”

ONLY TRUTH WITH LOVE CAN BE ENOUGH

(dealing with Trump)

“With Ignoramus Number One in charge, our troubles all may grow a lot more Large! Who really rules, I think that I can guess: the military, hot ta make more mess. ~ So, what’s a caring citizen ta do? We gotta know just what is going on! And corporate media won’t grant a clue, we must wake Up, before our chance is gone! Just what is true we really gotta know, and not just entertain ourselves each night! The networks only care about their dough; we can’t consume their lies, if we’d get right! If what ya hear ain’t kindly, it ain’t true. It must be helpful, necessary stuff! And seeking Truth is what we need ta do, and only truth with love can be enough!"
