Assad is now in Moscow drinking

nothing here about GOD
or evangelicals or even Mormon polygamists
in southern Utah with a child bride
nothing to hide
behind or conceal
as i age while attempting to heal

Assad is now in Moscow drinking:
what is he thinking
as he looks constantly over his back
for the assassin who's job was to track
the tyrant to his grave

this is not meant to be a blog
where i'm preaching about myself
or nature or Earth
it may in fact have no worth
& i'm okay with that having already fought one war
in Vietnam a long day ago
which now feels like a shadow

before the twin towers fell and ground zero cast a spell
deep into the mountains of eastern Afghanistan
when i didn't understand
the CIA 
or wall street executive pay

no, this isn't about food or being intentionally rude
& not about global warming
or locusts swarming
or how mankind has finally found
freely & unbound
his soul and his Redeemer

i am not the schemer
nor will i use sleight of hand
to lead a lonely hearts club band
into my small white town

Damascus has fallen down
and the Mosque tower is now calling
the faithful to prayer

is there enough for all the Middle East people to share?

but there is nothing here about GOD

OR maybe there is 
and it's everywhere,
which only seems fair

after the many many years of terror and bloodshed.
