Of tweeting the truth

he’s constitutionally

unable, or so it seems.

~

If he’d take to heart

the preamble, maybe he’d

strengthen his constitution.

Row after row of

freshly planted corn – rural

testament of faith.

~

Along comes a flood,

fueled by warming climate,

and faith is all that remains.

Some rites of passage

are to be celebrated,

others just endured.

~

It depends on where

you stand. Are you a witness

or participant?

If easy does it,

why do we continue to

make it really hard?

~

Most folk devalue

what they come by easily;

choosing labor over faith.

The ways we choose to

commemorate our fallen,

speak to what we hold most dear.

~

A fitting way to

honor their sacrifice is

to live lives worthy of it.

When rage bursts forth in

rose gardens, did someone pick

a fight with a blooming fool?

~

Even schoolyard thugs

know that it doesn’t matter

who started the fight.

When the gardener

becomes completely unhinged,

Who will manage the vermin?

~

Nature has a way

of bypassing gardeners

as all rampant weeds know well.

When a president

rages in the rose garden,

do skies darken in Kansas?

~

Stormy visages

and incoherent bluster

won’t dim his faithful’s luster.

When will we react

to slowly increasing heat?

Are we not smarter than frogs

~

All creation took

a poll and they decided,

at this moment, no.

Why have we become

the Disunited States of 

America? Who’s it serve?

~

Disunion serves those

who didn’t serve and seek to

reap while sowing hate.
