Luke Easter Poems

Just one piano player that’s how it begins,
A young teen drummer we call D.J.,
Nothing fancy about the area we reside in,
But oh how our choir can sing and play.
...

There’s a lot of talk concerning spirit and truth,
Like a foreign language it’s easier learned from youth,
Without these two words commanding your heart,
Sometimes it’s hard to tell the gospel and lies apart.
...

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.
...

The Alaskan oil spill from the Exxon Valdez, what a way to go,
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.
...

35 years in jail for a crime he did not commit?
Or was Leonard Peltier guilty and justly sent?
Two stories so naturally there are equal sides,
Another incident where the government hides?
...

I was stunned to be online to see American Idol and not Lena Horne,
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.
...

The road seems impassible and surely hope is gone,
Everyone else is finished; it’s a struggle to be strong,
Why does it have to be this difficult you might say?
Well, allow me to introduce my friend, Hupomone.
...

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.
...

I’ve got a river; it’s filled with love,
I’ve got a river, and all because,
I’m fishing in a river, by His Stripes,
I’ve got a river, of abundant life.
...
