Power Of Words
Written words are powerful
Able to influence and elicit change
More powerful yet are spoken words
Birthed in the mind, delivered through
Tongue, diaphragm and lungs
Working in concert to deliver voice
Intelligent vibrations creating reality
Somewhere an angry someone screams
“I hate you”
Words moving through space unhindered
Past countless stars in countless galaxies
Wreaking endless havoc on God’s Creation
Thinking with one's heart before speaking
Glorifies the positive power of words
Destruction ceases, balance restored

A Dangerous Place! (For children)
Roses are yellow,
Belladonna is red
Prickly thorns 'n poison,
Can make me real dead
Kitties are scratchy,
Bite when they want
Bees when angry,
sharp stingers do flaunt
Snakes like to wiggle,
Make my skin crawl,
Their rattling tails,
Drive me right up a wall
Gator's a-smilin with,
Jagged-toothed jaws,
Lions and tigers,
with long pointy claws

Dragonflyer
Moonlight glistens on armored scales
Leathered wings power silent flight
Far below, unsuspecting victims graze
Ominous moon-shadow stalks greedily
Jagged jaws 'n sharp talons wax eager
Lusting for tasty flesh 'n hot blood
Nostrils spew red flames of death
So eager to wreak havoc below
Awesome to behold yet fear his greatest weapon
What mortal dare do battle with such a beast?
Be they, Knights, Wizards, Priests?
Nay, only the purity, innocence 'n beauty,
Of a Christ-Child can defeat a “Dragonflyer”
By wielding but one weapon…Love!

Red Pill
You were asked;
“Will it be red or blue? ”
You answered;
“I'll take the red pill”
So why do you complain?
Isn't it enough to be awake?
Why do you fret n' spit on truth?
You made a choice for your own sake!
Why run around demanding proof?
Trust heart and soul to guide you
Through the troubled times ahead
It was the longer straw you drew
No need to walk on feet of lead
Rejoice!
You've made it to “The great transition”
Relax!

Why Is It…
You ask;
“Why is it Ray you always dress in black?
Do you mourn the dying and the dead?
Is it because soldiers come home in sacks,
Or on TV see jihad Muslims behead? ”
“Do you mourn Mother Earth they trash?
For laying waste to once lush forest lands?
A greedy few who sell their souls for cash,
Who on Liberty’s apron wipe bloody hands? ”
I answer;
Today and more tomorrows, I’ll wear black
Till peace upon a troubled Earth prevails
When evil ones let go and give power back
When balance returns to “Justice Scales”

Eternal Love
How many times, how many ways,
Have I expressed my love for you?
Never have my feelings gone astray
Altho' others tried my love subdue
Beloved! Come sit here by my side
Let us liberate once fettered passion
We'll waste no time on foolish pride
With just one kiss love we'll fashion
Heaven and Earth may pass away
But this love shall endure forever
Only our twin-souls we need obey
A bond no sword could ever sever
Let what God has joined as one
Be a joyous wedding celebration

True Love Knocks Once
One fine day, the latter part of June
Old friends rekindled the flame of love
Magic was afoot that cloudy afternoon
A lazy sun played hide n’ seek above
They lunched n’ drank fine red wine
At a well known Portland rendezvous
They reminisced, two hearts combined
As hearts fused, time they did subdue
At last the magic spell was broken
A single kiss, a bittersweet farewell
‘Tho brief dormant love had woken
True love in hearts again did dwell
If love should knock n’ you entice
Swing wide the door…
As, true love rarely knocks twice

Let Us Now Become The 100%
Why must it always be “Us and them”?
When we’re all part of humankind
Can a rose live without its roots or stem?
Can justice prevail when men are deaf n’ blind?
The time is nigh for global re-formation,
When all come together, for a lasting peace
A time when it’s no longer “Nation against Nation”
A time when all conflict n’ war shall finally cease
Take to heart this poignant affirmation;
“Separation for any reason is still separation”
We must forever heal our need to spew n’ vent,
“Let us now become the 100%”

Architect Of Love
“Love”…most noble of all words
Born of Light and God’s Intention
Sung sweet by Earth’s songbirds
With reverence, joy, celebration
The Cosmos doubtless knows it’s true
That God’s Love brought about Creation
All held together with His Loving Glue
Man can't really go astray thru separation
Abundant sparks of light He doth implant
In every soul of every being in every-place
Altho we mischief-make His Love’s extant
Why would God exempt the human-race?
Look within and find God-Given-Spark,
For within every soul He leaves His Mark

The Power Of Denial
“I pledge allegiance to the flag”
“My country right or wrong”
“Novus Ordo seclorum”
“E Pluribus Unam”
“Love it or leave it”
“Uncle Sam needs you”
“Support the troops”
“Victory at any price”
“Spreading democracy”
“Winning the peace”
“New World Order”
“Obey and serve”
“Semper Fi”
“Fox News”
“Neo-Con”
“24”
Buzz words elicit patriotism
Words spoken to mesmerize
Words to combat other isms
