Everything's a Scam

Everything's a scam, they don't care
Your health and wallet they won't spare
They just want you to pay the fare
The real truth is buyer beware

A soft drink is just filled with air
With sugar mixed in to ensnare
And flavor for that phony flair
Yet water's free, it's pure eau claire

Fashion's a scam for what we wear
Tobacco traps you in its snare
The selfish Wall Street billionaire
Our justice system is unfair

Corruption is beyond repair
And politics is just hot air
And when your health's in disrepair
You can't pay for a doctor's care

Loving our Neighbor is Acting with Piety

The New Testament
Standard Of Piety:
Or,
Our Love Made Perfect
When Jesus returns with his angels in glory
Then he will divide us and take inventory
There's the sheep and the goats as to them Jesus quotes
In judgment a summary of their life's story

The sheep on his right and the goats on his left side
"Come, blessed of my Father," he said as he eyed
the sheep, "Please take what's yours and enter through those doors.
You are all very welcome so please come inside."

I was hungry and thirsty. You fed me gladly
A stranger in town but you really welcomed me
I was naked and sick but you helped me real quick
You visited me as a prison detainee

The
Judgment
of
the Nations
And then he will say to those on his left, "Depart!"
Eternal fire awaits those goats for their black heart
The thirsty and hungry, the naked and sickly
And to prisoners you had no love to impart

So what will be judged when we face God almighty
The way that we serve the least in society
For what we do for them, we also do for him
Loving our neighbor is acting with piety

To Soar and Fly

Full Life Balance
   All quitters sigh
    But some just cry
     Cowards won't try
      Dreading to fly
       Ever too shy
        Fearful to die
         Gone. Just run by
           Hear them decry
           "It's all a lie.
             Just a black eye.
              Kings can be sly.
               Look in their eye.
                Mad as mud pie."


                Next comes the guy
               One who will try
              Patient and my
For Life Abundant
             Quick to reply
            Ready to die
           Standing to try
          To soar and fly
         Up there so high
        Valiant to vie
      "Who says I'm dry.
      Xeric not I.
    Yes I will try.
   Zipping I'll fly."
