REALITY

Rest In Peace

During a funeral; it seems most ironic;
as though all tensions, it’ll release;
a statement, counterintuitive and iconic;
the minister declares, “Rest in peace!”

It seems foolish; as family members cry;
the casket, carried by somber faces;
not a member of the family, has a dry

For The Love Of A Woman

For the love of a good woman;
men have chosen to die;
once her tears have spoken;
even strong men cry.

There is never a sacrifice too great;
when two hearts suddenly meet;
when two like minds commiserate;
even hate shall face defeat.

The Power Beyond

I can feel an immense tug from above;
my energies, within, respond;
it’s the overwhelming power of love;
emanating from beyond.

which of the two is considered greater;
are we made in the image of man?

The true image of God is total perfection;
can mere infants do it all better;
man became known for God’

A Price Too Great

“Everyone has their price,” it’s been said;
a statement defining corruption;
a measure of evil, in all, has been bred;
it seems a logical deduction.

It implies that all can be bought and sold;
there are none righteous; not even one;
all; compromised by the

Stern Teachers

How can we recognize when we’re wrong;
what is the determinant sign?
Many are the times we simply go along;
unwilling to argue or whine.

When the pangs of guilt suddenly arrive;

forgoing temptations to cajole or conive;
while giving up
