Love is
much less popular these days. A "me" society full of fear, mostly due to
indulging devious television programming, has turned our neighbor into a
potential threat. 'Love Thy Neighbor' is a thing of the past, if ever it were
actualized. The worst thing is to see my innocent "2" year old daughter
greeting everybody so loud and kind and nearly half of the passersby frown and
keep walking! This is a tiny child full of trust and love! It perplexes me to
see this. A simple smile of acknowledgement is not so hard. She is learning a
sad message so young.

To Love Or Perish
We live in a numb Society We are taught not to cry But to act 'Professional' When we see a creature die We elect a judge to execute Condemn those to the chair Who refuse to be Conformists To that which is not fair "All men are created equal" Said the master to his slave Took the harvest for himself While preaching Christ forgave Such sins of fallen angels Who like to publicly repent Then privately plan retribution For those who might dissent Cut down or burn the bush With ornamental fruit It tempts the starving soul Renders all believers mute Go to your neighbor's door Comfort them not to hide Only fear can lock a house Holding prisoners inside Summon all of your children Hypnotized and in a trance Every life should matter Regardless of circumstance They televise great violence Distort-Report the facts Hoping to break your Spirit Leave no Will or Hope intact I may write a word of sorrow For the Planet with no friend But environments need healing So God's Love can live again.
