A Bigger Threat

 

Incompetence…

  much more dangerous than corruption

    —when skillfully applied

 

(Note To The President-October, 2013)

 

    A Greater Wrong

 

Within a lesser right

 there is a greater wrong

   —begging to get out

    Implacability

 

As our resolve hardened

  —the viewing platform changed

Inspiration

Everything written to inspire

  rises above our nature

 

Everything written to inspire

  serves to transport and transform

 

Everything written to inspire

   makes the old new again

 

        In ways that only

        the heart can feel

          —and the spirit know

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2013)

Do You

Do you have the key

  to unlock a new door

 

Do you have the words

  that will heal an old wound

 

Do you have the eyes

  that will share in the tears

 

Do you have a heart

  —not yet wrenched from your soul
