A fire burns,
My Spirit learns,
My soul discerns,
My mind, it churns.
As my Heart yearns,
So Hope returns.

Astray
May we find the Way,
and follow, no delay.
For we have gone astray
In what we do and say.
It’s fine for you to pray
If you have things to say,
But don’t decide to stay.
Rise up and join the fray.
Thanks for reading! Be Blessed!
Means and Ends
The means are not the End;
They will sometimes need to change.
But if we keep the End in mind,
The change is not so strange.
If our End and our Beginning
Stay consistent, kind, and true,
We will find our own way Home
Whate’er we’re called to do.
Thanks for reading! Be Blessed!
Bending
Rules are for bending,
And fences for mending.
Keep Love upward trending,
While sweet Mercy tending,
That what we are sending
May keep us ascending.

Not Back
Truth does matter.
Let illusions shatter,
For as painful as that step may be,
‘Tis worth the clash and clatter.
Comfort comes at cost.
For the Truth is often lost
When we choose to keep our blinders on,
By waves of ignorance tossed.
Struggle with the facts.
Allow your thoughts and acts
To be affected all that you learn,
Move forward and not back.

Power
The mind can impress.
The body can make one proud.
Change comes from the heart.

Texas Road
Leaves slowly change now,
As Autumn makes her voice heard
And time passes on.

The Fight Goes On
Win or lose
The fight goes on.
Don’t be confused.
The fight goes on.
Since time began,
The fight goes on.
Now take your stand.
The fight goes on.
With battles won,
The fight goes on.
When we’re undone,
The fight goes on.
If you stumble,
The fight goes on.
Don’t you crumble.
The fight goes on.
Never fret.
The fight goes on.
Never forget,
The fight goes on.

Include Us
Peace and Justice are intertwined
And if one remains undermined
The other will still elude us.
We must be sure to include us.
As we deny one another,
And as we exclude each other,
We, too, leave ourselves behind and
Have no place on which we can stand.
So if you want enjoy Peace,
And want your fears to be released,
Ensure that each has a fair share.
Let Justice be done ev’rywhere.

Wretched Idealist
Call me a fool,
A wretched idealist;
A liberal tool,
An utter unrealist.
Your labels fall short;
Your arrows won’t pierce.
Why must we distort
Compassion so fierce?
When did we cease
Believing we could
Be a power for Peace,
Doing all that we should?
When did progress become
Our enemy’s name,
Abandoning some
Just to keep things the same?
I pray we will turn
And pursue a new road.
I pray we will learn,
That our wounds may be sewed.
