Lamentations

13 June, 2023 Unlike Judas, Tom Spinks repented and asked for forgiveness. He is forgiven. It was some years ago when he came to me on some occasion that I can’t remember and said, “I need to ask for your forgiveness.” He was referring to his testimony in court in which he declared that […]

Those violent pro-aborts do worse to babies inthe womb. Believe that! They are wicked, Godless, demoniacs. What to do? Still tolerating child-slaughter in the land eventhough Roe is formally dumped? What’s up sissy Christians? What did the heroesof the Civil War do about slavery? Hint: Abolition!

They are easily found around.Property is purchased and let to sitTo accrue value by associationWith the productive neighbors.They enjoy the increase in valueBrought by the homes of othersKept up by their labor and care,While the “lords” lounge and neglectTo maintain their houses, exploitingThe labors of those who keep upTheir homes with responsible diligence.Yes, derelicts and […]

Yeah, it was wise of the Lord to forbid folks from talking to the dead. Think of the many failures of communication among the living! Think of the many people we overlook and fail to greet and encourage. The Lord has wisely forbidden us from conversing with the dead And charged us to speak with […]

“Ah,” said he to his lady,“We’ve both had lots of fun;You’ve been a hell of a harridan,But its time we bring it to an end.Ya know they got me and I’m goin’ to the pen,But wait for me, Dear, if you would;You know I’d be there if I could.” (Impersonal post-prison poetic pensiveness on a […]

31 March, 2023 My radio commentator on the local classical station was recounting some time when the Beatles were banned from some place as if we ought to be glad to be living in a progressive age of liberty and justice when we are above banning the Beatles. Hah! What asinine, self-reassuring hubris! Come […]

Oh, the imagination of man When left to roam quite pagan! Think for moment of “suovetaurilia,” That peculiar practice of the Romans, Sacrificing a pig, a sheep and an ox! Yeah, the Greeks did the same thing And called it by the name of Trittya. Indeed, they knew they were in trouble: That universal awareness […]

(A reflection prompted by a popular Christian song) “There’s gonna be a brighter day” – Correct! “There are gonna be some brighter days” – Correct! “There’s gonna be some brighter days” – WRONG! (And that’s the popular song! Teaching bad grammar to millions of naïve children . . . and parents!) Grammar police at your […]

No, Baby, I’m not givin’ you excuses! I’m truly sufferin’ from presbycusis! That memory fails me time an’ again; Can’t remember my chores and then I get on to doin’ somethin’ else And before you know it I forgot Again what I was supposed to do! Now, don’t tell me you’re through! I’ll be good. […]

Died and went to hell, waitin’ for the “rapture.”Thought he’d wait and see that evidence And then put his faith square on the Lord. (Didn’t want to waste time with Christians and get bored.) Well, ’twas a shame it turned out such a way, That in pain he’s gonna spend many-a day And many-a night […]

“Kid got kicked off the team for vaping!” “What?!? Whom did he rape?” “I said he was VAPING!” “Vaping!? What’s that?” “You know, suckin’ in some air! Through a pipe-like thing; It’s kinda like smokin’.” “Nah, who would do such a thing!?” “Well, a fellow might get sick, ya know!” “I mean who would kick […]

So-called “clinics” Where the heathen Gather with other cynics Who deny the image of God In every human being. (As we know from God’s word Taking us beyond the seeing, Each one from conception Is a soul made for eternity.) Let these places be damned That with death are crammed, As they admit those with […]

(Inspired by Job 38) From time to time evil creeps in Upon a people in the din of sin. “They darken counsel By words without knowledge;” Minds blinded by Lawless freedom, But open to any fool to lead them. O fools! Do you need a plague? Some blood, frogs, gnats, and flies? It’s what you […]

Kicked off the wrestling team for “vaping”? Yeah, not raping . . . V-A-P-I-N-G! Pretty dog-gone harsh and down-right cruel to us spectators. Why should we fans be punished for such a simple “offense”? Not to mention screwing over a kid’s wrestling scholarship opportunities. Any discipline for students who blaspheme or disrespect teachers in class? […]

A dad had a few kids And said he had enough. Got himself “snipped”; Thought he was done. Tried to make life easy and fun; Didn’t want to risk another child; Wanted to put life in the mild Mode and keep any extras at bay So to enjoy that easier day Without those little imps […]

Someday we’ll look down upon baby killing By abortion the same way we now look upon slavery. O what wicked, child-murdering knavery! Got no room in your house or your heart? Gonna treat that baby worse than a fart? What sickos we easily become Listening to that “freedom” refrain! Your decadence can be a real […]

Jesus is the friend of repentant sinners! Don’t let the song confuse your mind About the caveat! Repent, and be saved. “Jesus, friend of sinners, help us to love” What You love, and hate what You hate! Popular music doesn’t always get it right; Stick with the Truth and walk in the light. Let not […]

Lo and behold, saw him comin’ down the road; He was a Methopresbaptilutherian. Had his knickers in a knot And for the Lord he was hot; There were things he wanted to change! Yeah, he had a reformation in mind And he felt he was behind, So he got on to the run. But before […]
