Assad is now in Moscow drinking

nothing here about GOD
or evangelicals or even a Mormon polygamist
in southern Utah with a child bride

no,
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 is to track

this criminal 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 South Vietnam a long day ago
which now feels like a distant 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 most venerated Mosque tower is now calling

the faithful to prayer

is there a horn of plenty for all the Middle Eastern people to share?

but there is nothing intentionally here about GOD

OR maybe there is?

and it's everywhere,

which in retrospect only seems fair

after the many many years of terror and bloodshed
