To Heal or Not

The child with fever will not eat.
Free modern clinics are nearby.
The parents choose old ways to treat,
Paying a week's earning to try
To cure as always has been done.
To the healer the child does go.
The teeth are yanked out one by one.
The child is in agony so.
Sometimes the child gets better, and
Sometimes it's God's will the child die.
This the parents do understand.
The parents do not question why.

If the child does survive and grows,
This is the way that the child knows.

Devil in the Details

The devil showed up at a school.
Some say that God is barred from such.
Cuz blood does sell - that is a rule,
The devil hands a bloody touch
And snuffs out young sweet innocence,
Knowing that media will swoop
To cover the pained consequence,
Competing for the latest scoop.
The devil knows to count upon
The media to spread the news,
That wherever God may have gone,
The devil's here collecting dues.

The media is quick to sell
The devil's handiwork of hell.

Often end as just fairy tales.

Not try when possible avails.

Begging for some money for food.

Or just some moral turpitude?

Hoping that some good may be brought.

And so he goes armed with a gun,
And sneaking through an open door
Into the school where she had taught

In a hell that the young man made.

By his hand from a mind gone mad,
In a sick son where evil willed
To turn good time and place to bad.

Be home of the brave and the free.
Such service isn't just for war,
But to help in the times of peace.
Manmade troubles are more and more.
Mother Nature's wrath does not cease.

Americans need understand.
What service really is - first hand.

Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Terms of Enrichment

Climate change - now the p.c. way
To call Mom Nature's weather woes.
Global warming - so yesterday.
Mouths spew warnings - nobody knows.
Most of politicians' hot air
On the climate is to cash in.
Al Gore is now a zillionaire
For selling all his hype and spin.
Sandy cane hit a time and place.
The voters there were weather warned.
And status quo still won the race.
Mom Nature - not one to be scorned.

Mom Nature's wrath - ever will be.
Talk is a waste of energy.
