God Cries Poem
God Cries
Sometimes I think
there is no one listening.
Sometimes I think
“Why do I do this”
Sometimes it seems
I don’t remember making
the big decisions.
The things we do
We just do.
We can’t explain away our lives.
Every time a doe loses a fawn
God cries.
Every time a man fails and takes a drink
God cries.
He knows his creation is imperfect.
He created circles,
circles of
life laughter and tears.

McDonald's Poem by H.E. Hasben
People are suing McDonalds
for killing us all ever so slowly.
Ronald is exposed
as chickens and cows become
animals no more but mere
factory products.
One wonders how many people
Ben and Jerry have killed, or
Pizza Hut.
These profit mongers
should be driven out
and replaced with
Hasben’s Spinach Burger
and Tofu Heaven

He begged me to save him from himself poem by Joan Pond
No Man
My client sat near the philodendron,
it’s shiny leaves receding.
Anthony said, ‘I’m concave’,
and he begged me to save him
from himself.
But he was a cavern,
a bottomless pit.
He transmogrified
as a snowman in the sun,
quickly changing from solid to gas.
He was an amorphous mass
seated on my couch.
And as an M.C. Escher print
he began spiraling in,
until coal black eyes
and a button nose
were all
that remained.
