Forbidding a hot dog
To ride a broomstick
Causes problems
None could have foreseen

Rain
Rain
Gently falling rain
Giving the earth sustenance
Harvest comes in fall

The Phone
The Phone
The phone receiver lay
on the desert floor
Thrown out of the door
A forgotten relic from
time past
Trashed
There was a time
When the phone would
chime
To signal a call
From your favorite doll
It was the only way to
talk
Without walking around
the block
To the neighbours place
And meeting face to
face
The phone’s time is
almost done
And like the setting
sun
It will fade into black
Never to make a
comeback
When that day has
arrived
I will feel deprived
And begin to moan
Because I do not have a cell phone
Because I do not have a cell phone

The Messiah Will Come Again
The
Messiah Will Come Again
He was born
On a cold winter
night
In a stable
The Messiah will
come again
The light of the
God
Shone down on him
As he grew older
The Messiah will
come again
He preached about
God
And religion and
piety
And we shunned him
The Messiah will
come again
He was arrested
Tortured and crucified
Because of fear
The Messiah will
come again
On the third day
He rose from the
dead
Defeating sin and
death
The Messiah will
come again
He is the Lord
The Almighty
And he promised us
that
The Messiah will
come again

Running
Running
Wind messing my
hair
Sun on my face
Sweating profusely
Breathing ragged
Legs tired
Heart pounding
Running wild and
free
Feeling exhilarated

Closure
Closure
Burial of a
loved one provides closure to
those relatives still
alive in the world today
the living honor the dead
