Luke Easter Poems

As parents remember that you are the only original guide,
Mom and dad set the mold or pattern for children’s lives,
Proverbs 22: 6, “train up a child in the way he should go, ”
Early instruction signifies what direction the wind will blow.

Hurricanes Katrina and Rita cut a disastrous path,
They’re minor in comparison to the scale of God's Wrath,
It’s been over two thousand years since the virgin birth,
Thirty-three more years, as the divine blood of Jesus covered the earth.
...

Thousands of years worship was being conducted at this sacred site,
Elders of many nations from the four corners traveled day and night,
Some pilgrimages lasting several years to curative waters, Nowasalon,
Sharing the gift, Breath of Healing, as darkness blossomed into dawn.

I am very pleased to introduce my M-O-M,
There are so many accolades where would I begin?
Dad thinks she reminds him of his Grandma Kate,
Since I never met my great grand Nana, I said wait.

Drop in the bucket next to the BP disaster in the Gulf of Mexico,
Two examples of incompetence caused containment to go bust,
However, at least BP has a plan headed by Professor Peter Lutz.

Or was Leonard Peltier guilty and justly sent?
Two stories so naturally there are equal sides,
Another incident where the government hides?

In highlighted captions as she was a star before these punks were born.
In the early part of her career she always came through the back door,
Singing in WWII, Black soldiers sat behind German prisoners of war.
...

Melodious is the soulful voice of our choir Brother Darly Wright,
Bringing a Kool-Aid smile to Deanna who is 6 and all little tikes,
At that age one would think a few more years she’d have to wait,
Yeah, however, not the way Mr. Ronn Flood operates on the 88’s.
...

My oh my, is it already that time?
Books, pencils, erasers, the lunch line,
Teachers, students, Cleveland Schools,
Let us not forget, “The Golden Rule.”
