Anniversary

 Poor man

Married me

Today's another

Anniversary.

Our world's greatest love -

Tried, tamed, true and

Thank God never lost.

Socrates said: "In wanting the beautiful, love wants also the good."

10 months now

The evidence rests at the tip of  your nose, 

Ineffective, the Covid mask you choose.

How safe at 6 ft above the give ground?

How well your life homebound?

10 months lost to experts' drivel

Amid mortality at a real, low level. 

Yes, you're on your own alone

With a needless, panic syndrome.  

 

To come

             To Come

What is?

Caring, spending,

Waiting, wanting?

A gift to, a love from? 

Advent, the means child-king comes. 

All else is dross if just a secular Christmas.  

Election results

                         Election results 2020

Why did we change horses mid stream?

Why did we shoot ourselves in the feet?

Crippled with foresight of fraud in 2020,

We rue the various ways voted. 

Our war steed lost the battle

As the drowned pony won the war.

Prosperity and hope now be gone.   

Darkened Stage

                 Darkened Stage

All the best words are dead,

You can't believe a thing that's said. 

Polarized now defines who hates,

No gold civility refines or educates

A body politic without a back

Straight or strong against each attack

Of correctness in  our puling world.

Life's a stage gone dark,

Unassured of a tiny, divine spark...

No comedy

 Heh! Marx Brothers?

Where - Amos and Andy

Has - Laurel and Hardy

Great  - Three Stooges

Comedy - Abbot and Costello

Gone? Martin and Lewis

Away! Woe begone! 

I'm Covid-19

I am a bug, better than most.

I am a microscopic menace in search of a host. 

I am a virus viral to some, free to all,

I get obeisance when you fall.

My history is a long contortion.

My mortality rate low in proportion

To a panic or pandemic appellation. 

I'm just a sniveling coronavirus

A partner to fate in life's twinning.

Fear me not; Obey your lot. 

    

Thanksgiving

                                 Thanksgiving

Once holy, now profane - a feast of dead, stuffed gobblers,

Grace at meals, fixings mashed, pied, red, white, brown, bubbling. 

Joy. For what? For loves, life, freedom, country, food for thought. 

Man's ambrosia and a curtsy to God's gifts.   

Fall

        Fall

Into Winter 

From Eden

Into Despair

From Grace

For him

To Him.

With blizzards of blown leaves

With splashes of orange, yellow and blood.

Out by rising from disgrace, the hardest ascent of all.  

A few lines

 Why would an ingrate think to be saved?

Why would a whiner hope to be helped?

Loneliness smashes if inwards I thrust

Desperate jabs and cries.  Ask for a miracle?

Plead for a light? Sob, fool, in your prison

As long as your life - Or change course.

Thank your Redeemer. Thank your Creator.

Silently bless the great love long given to you.

Nervous breakdown

 A complete, unique once-in-a-lifetime nervous breakdown inadvertently caused by my own undoing - has devastated me. How to recover any sense of hope or decency now that my entire psyche is punctuated with total guilt and regret? 

Come and Gone

The birthday again come and gone and wonderfully again the kids did not forget the old lady. She would like to  forget having spent years trying to forgive herself and failing. Oh well, blessed with the good, man makes every unworthiness I put forth worthwhile. Cry beloved country with such a percentage of leftist evil afoot. A state-wide nonsensical shutdown has been put into place; we'll just carry on in our local, tightly conscribed world. Cold, breezy, sunny, the leftover turkey carcass and reject pieces are offered as usual to the creatures of the night. Have at it!    

Thank you

Happy Birthday to unworthy me from my caring daughter. Thank you, Lauren  

Who cares?

 Should I really care about current news? About 10 useless commercials dot the radio every quarter, half and hour. Lies and misrepresentations via media. A Credit Suisse analyst said: "We believe new CEO Jim Farley  will drive incremental urgency and accountability at Ford." With brilliance like this why should I care? Then there's this statistic - almost 1 million people have died from Covid-19 around the world. With this small percentage of 7 billion on the planet, should I care? My petty world swirls about my petty 80th birthday about which I feel completely helpless. The Devil wins too many victories as usual.    

Yesterday

My reaction to the Pres. election results ? yesterday... a breakdown into uncontrollable sobbing. The unmitigated triumph of cheating and evil that has now triumphed in this disunited states of America saddens me to the core. It is a no- brainer ( Biden, of course) and his wife/facilitator hungry for power, money and fame. Poor Trump. Outdone by the Devil. Who would have thought it possible? Perhaps all that is now open to him is a retreat to the comfort of his wife's faith.    

Is this thinking?

 From a chief investment strategist: "What I've  been asking myself in my own head - a question to which I don't have an answer - is whether, assuming a divided government, there is less likely to be a larger-in-size fiscal relief package because we know the two sides were quite different on the details."

From the director of the Met ( Metropolitan Museum of Art):  "There is no doubt that the Met and its development is also connected with a logic of what is defined as white supremacy.  Our ongoing efforts to not only diversify our collection but also our programs, narratives, contexts, and staff will be further accelerated and will benefit in urgency and impact from this time." 

Is this clear thinking? I feel so much better about myself thinking about these two examples of experts at work. 

About the recent Presidential election? I think cheating is rampant by the Democratic machine!!!!!!!!!

All's lost

Another birthday approaches and I must face the fact that all is lost. Beauty gone. Face lines. Crow's feet around the  eyes. Wrinkles abound. Fat's around the once modest frame. Flab. Too many health issues to count with which I can't contend. Purgatory on earth now with physical and mental compromises? Living is about knowing God's plan. Ugliness and intermittent suffering?  Wow! The only thing still functioning at peak efficiency - is the mind. The lesser thing not functioning well is the body save for the 5 senses which exist on constant and annoying high alert. Election night only portends terrific sadness if Trump doesn't win re-election. Our beloved country is already crying out against leftism's lies and insane agenda. Of course, the last thing I want for my birthday is to be on the way to Hell in a handbasket. The Devil be damned; my hope remains for eternal, heavenly  rest. 

The Big Lie

Who tells the BIG lie? Always! The Devil of course. Well, hearing Obama campaigning for  Biden today telling the BIG lie right out of the gate, about Trump never taking his job as President seriously ... how many seconds will it take to clear my conscience of wishing this Devil's minion a speedy trip to Hell?  It boggles the mind how leftist Democrats lie all the time. Whether they believe their lies or not, it's Devilish.
