Ode to Donald Trump

To find favor with the king
is no mean thing--
for it, we will go to war.


We will lay down our lives
and sacrifice all we ever loved,
and more.


But, the king's broad appeal
only manages to be real
because of those
who call him, "Lord."


His great personal power
disappears in the hour

the enchanted ones
perceive the fraud.

Good-bye and good riddance
is only a matter of time.
And, time is on our side.
We can wait you out.
The clock is ticking.

I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
