To Gird A Lilly
Dividing and conquering
Inflicting endless pain
Nurturing or loving
To many of the same
Yielding unlimitless power
Even killing as they spill
Or as a legion of angels
Touching as they heal
Gird the words as a lilly
And it shall grow straight
While an unbridled tongue
Bearing lamentable fate
Destroys!

To Many Coincidences
Sometimes life is hectic, Sometimes planned.
Bad decisions are made, with consequences.
But there are no coincidences, or are there?
Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in1846.
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in1946.
Abe elected President in1860, John in1960.
Both were shot on Friday, both in the head, both were particularly concerned with civil rights
Both wives lost children while living in the White House. OK just coincidence then...............
Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy
Kennedy's secretary was named Lincoln
Both were succeeded by Southerner's named Johnson
Andrew Johnson followed Lincoln====born in 1808
Lyndon Johnson followed Kennedy===born in 1908 OK just coincidence then...............
John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln====born in 1839
Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated Kennedy==born in 1939
Both assassins known by their three names both with 15 letters
Lincoln was shot in the 'Ford'theater and Kennedy in a 'Ford'car OK just coincidence then.............
Lincoln was shot in a theater and his assassin ran and hid in a warehouse.
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and his assassin ran and hid in a
theater
Both assassins were assassinated before their trials
7 days before Lincoln was shot he was in Monroe, Maryland
7 days before Kennedy was shot he was with Marilyn Monroe
OK just coincidence..........

To The Gardener
A woman is as a beautiful rose-
Petals to be caressed and stroked-
Nurtured with adoration, yet-
Only picked in time, one by one-
Like summer vintage red wine-
Ripening with passion and time-
Rounded contours of ectasy-
Steaming after proper gardening-
Listen and she will convey-
When the harvest is ripe.

Together
Together we were two
Apart less than half
United conquering the world
Ceasing to need it
