John Sensele Poems

Marriage and career seldom bury the hatchet
Marriage and career sometimes swim in the same pool
Career a pride of place packs in a packet
Marriage spins a flexible spool.
...

Thoughts drive my mind
Making me happier
In thoughts health and wealth I find
...

Teach because you enjoy teaching
Don't teach because you need money
Teach not if you're inclined to cheating
Teach not because teaching makes no honey
...

If love was easy life would be fun
Arm in arm you and I would smile
Worrying about nothing but our gymnastic gun
Working hard to flow smiles all the while
...

Travel widens your perspective
Opening your mind to other points of view
Making the mind more effective
Readying long-held beliefs for review
...

Every morning blessings I receive
To make my way clear
When golden opportunities arrive
To quench my thirst and wipe away my tear.
...

Hope rises
Faith soars
I get surprises
...

In moments when bells of strain toll
In a world I feel forsaken
Into God's arms I heed my call
No point if they rate my option droll
...

Break not teeth and bones fighting God's plan
Unless you desire to wipe out your own clan
Embarking on a futile fission
That still births a morbid mission
...

European perfidy purloined our land
To satisfy their gluttony gland
Pillaging our resources
Marginalizing our story sources and horses
...
