And He says one day He’ll call it quits andbring this all to end.
So winner-losers, do not ask;
this game cannot be won.
But if killing must proceed, in the game for the greed,
Please let me not be the one.
For Suprapto (beloved Indonesian teacher)
We saw a shooting star last night
and have heard the Indians say
the meaning is “a Great Chief has died
and his spirit is on its way.”
We later heard that ‘Prapto,
our close friend, had passed away.
He was young, and kind, and very smart.
The “why” no one could say.
We sorrow with those who are left behind, and
ask God to sooth their grief.
But now we know the Indians were right.
Suprapto was a Great Chief!
All in One?
Three Peoples reaching up to you
Yet among themselves they fight
This cannot be what You want
Please fix it, make it right
Yet it’s true that we
We too
Are double minded men
Who love those when they love us back
And ask to be our friend
I cannot see the answer Lord
But killing can’t be what’s True
Please shelter all the innocents
whether Christian, Muslim, or Jew
What’s in a Name
When embryos have to die to
help an old lady regain the use of her brain,
they call it abortion and veto the plan for the Bible’s
instructions are plain:
“Thou Shalt Not Kill!”
We agree with that. Still
it seems inconsistent to say:
It is only “collateral damage,”
when little children are blown away!
Final Expenses
If there’s a bill
they must pay
Where there’s a will
there’s a way
Light and Darkness
There is light
there is dark
There is life
There is death
There is God
There is Satan
If I kill my enemy he comes back
a Hydra, more than before
Someone said I must love him
What a crazy idea
Yet, trying it, a miracle is wrought
He disappears
Vanquished, utterly destroyed
No Hydra heads appear
He has become
a friend
For Steve
and the Stingray
A stingray is a beautiful fish.
Steve was a beautiful man.
He loved them all, even the snakes,
