Those Who Say I'm Introspective

I am Everyman and Everyman is me
So when I examine my existence
I try to understand the universal
Rather than the idiosyncratic on
This planet where I seek to catch
Rides on high jets shooting thru
The midnight sky like meteors as
I denigrate gravity holding down
All beings on the surface of the
Globe while my mind looks to see
The order of world not the chaos
Of Cosmos to which I want to fly
As I await the hour of my mortality
When all confusion will dissipate
And I can witness divine harmony
By which I will know I'm blessed
By the beauty of Grace of Christ
Pulling all to a Heaven we can't
Conceive from myopia of an Earth
From which death is only escape.

Full Day At Mentor's Funeral

My Christianity is a charade
Not malicious but unfaithful
Though I love Jesus and want
Him to be proud of the years
I passed on the Earth but if
Salvation is a gift from God
Then there is no true reason
To work at improving my soul
And thus I must Dew it myself
Without regard for the Grace
I struggle to attain as human
Unable to demonstrate that
I am worthy of being in Eden
At the right hand of a Deity
So great I cannot compare
My wish for goodness with His
Even as I approach mortality.

"See You In The Movies"

You always filled our minds with laughter
With your jokes while your beloved spouse
Filled our stomachs with delicious turkey
With all the trimmings when Andy welcomed
Me to partake of your holiday feasts when
The weather was cold but hospitality warm
As you let me enjoy the feeling of family
Since otherwise I would have been alone
So you'll be sorely missed even as you see
The wonders of Heaven and don angel wings
With the son who preceded you into mortal
Reality while we who are left behind pray
You receive a fine room in God's mansion.

Bittersweet Day For Our Nation

Osama Bin Laden is finally dead
Killed by bullet through the head
Who caused much fear and dread
His body now full of lead
Ambushed on weekend royal couple wed
Who to the sharks was fed
Lost to vastness of ocean bed
For whom no tears were shed
Condemned to fire of lake instead
Done in by discipline of SEALs
Who taught him how it feels
When reality from Earth quickly steals
Him whose soul into Hell reels
So there are no more deals
Made with Satan who deviously wheels
Him into inferno without any meals
And he is crucified by heels
So he never before Jesus kneels.

Together As A Sober Couple

We're discovering what we've been missing
In the process of remembering what we have
Forgotten in our days of beers and drugs
Consumed without regard for the greater
Pleasures to which we might have been privy
Even as we pursued our party ways and lost
The innocence with which Lord blessed us
In our joyful adolescence when we laughed
With the totality of our souls longing
For the sweet succor of teen-age fulfillment
While now we try to regain the bliss we missed
To the ignorance induced by the intoxicants
We mistakenly assumed would lead us
To the liberation of divine salvation.

The Origin Of My Uniqueness

When The Lord told me to be God
I followed His order without compunction
Dewing the job the best way I could conceive
Accepting my fate and being ready to die
To further the notion of a worldly illumination
Until I was detained for suffering an illness
By authorities unable to comprehend a reality
Based upon a personal divinity I couldn't deny
To the shrinks who interrogated me with desire
To save me from the abyss into which I dove
Fully conscious of the consequences of my actions
Going with the inarguable flow of a raging river
Heading towards the falls of a supernatural insight
Tumbling down the mountain of the sacred Self
In Whom I trusted while society ruled me insane
And subjected me to the necessity of medications
Sedating me so I could not complete divine mission
To which I honestly felt the Deity had called me
If I hoped to achieve salvation for this mad planet.

A Captain Of The Marines

It was Maundy Thursday when we found out you had died
And so we have more to pray for this resurrection week
Hoping you will ascend with Christ to Heavenly Throne
Where your intelligence wit and military training you
Learned in two wars for fifteen years entitle you to
A medal of merit in hard battles led by Jesus against
The evil forces of greed and injustice under command
Of satan who was never able to overcome determination
You represented even as you suffered wounds and other
Difficulties of this Earth from which you've now departed
To assume control of the soldiers awaiting the advent
Of your skills to rout the enemy eternally from sweet
Memory of peace that existed before you came to world
To demonstrate the correct method to overcome demons.

Thirteenth Anniversary Of Doc's Demise

You were free world's greatest shrink
Who taught me how to think
Whenever I was on the brink
Of madness after many a drink
For you were my sanity link
If into delusion I did sink
Put in hospital quick as blink
Because my brain suffered chemical kink
You always cured with magical wink
And it's you whom I miss
With your diagnosis of "Psychotic Bliss"
Despite fact you did me piss
When you decreed I couldn't kiss
Fellow patients gorgeous as my sis
Trying hard your arm to twist
Gazing with lust at Sorly Mist
Carolina and rest of female list
Who exemplified for me beauty's gist.
