"But Instead Infantile"


“But Instead Infantile”

cji
9/28/17

Thought to be adults
looking like adults
dressed well nothing
potty trained once
who knows now
wetting pants/panties
needing comfort groups
unsure what sex to be
going to college for free
entitled or parents paid
thinking their adults
but instead infantile!

"Snake Bit" (with precautions)

“Snake Bit”

cji
9/27/17

Camping out in the SE
Army sentries all about
raining in buckets all day
on a high point safe
however, snakes too
seeking safety joined
much like society
snakes of all kinds
sneaking into safety
wreaking havoc then
snake bit by some
murdered by others
some killed by us
ACLU defending them
snakes within society!

4 Steps to take when bit by a Venomous Snakebite
1.       Be sure to make note of the snake’s color, it’s size, shape, and pattern, but only if you can do so safely. If you can, take a picture of it so that you can show a doctor or other medical staff the type of snake it is.
2.      Remove anything you are wearing that could constrict blood flow to the bite area such as tight clothing, jewelry, or shoes.
3.      Clean the area using water and bandage it with any sanitary material to help reduce the bleeding. However, avoid tourniquets, ice packs, or any suction devices. And do not consume any caffeine or alcohol.

4.      Get medical assistance as soon as possible while you keep the affected area immobile and elevated above your heart.

“Weak Things”

cji
9/27/17

Calling upon the youth
unlearned and despised
wheat on threshing floor
waiting to feed nations
called by Jesus Christ
to do the Father’s will
having the power given
coming from Holy Ghost
weak things of the world
servants to the world!

Doctrine and Covenants 35:11-13
“Without Faith”

cji
9/27/17

Blinded in the darkness
beyond desolations light
seeing no signs or miracles
only the shame of night
without faith being dead
as without works dread
drinking putrid water/wine
finding only fornications
sleeping without life
blinded by the darkness!

"The Greater Fool"


“The Greater Fool”

cji
9/27/17

Such a small person the fool
wanting others to like him/her
playing the fool for attention
saying the wrong thing often
wanting to be wanted yet
still always being so alone
invited but to stand back
to be around almost nothing
the greater fool unimportant
wishing to disappear often
needing no further attention
feeling always the lonely cur
such a small person the fool!

"Killing Cousins"


“Killing Cousins”

cji
9/26/17

Somewhere within humans
a desire to murder/kill
even from the day of Cain
today it’s found in cities
towns, counties, states
throughout the world
wars and rumors of war
street fights now popular
drive by shootings as well
killing cousins and others
having others praise them
protesting the nation’s flag
protesting the policeperson
protesting in wrong places
there’s no one educating
the why of profiling there
the greater % of criminals
the greater the profiling
ambushing innocents
puts everyone on guard
whether ever the color
division produces hate
stepping up to educate
getting the gangs to stop
teaching about love
communicating-discerning
talking not demanding
truth not political correctness
killing cousins endlessly
where humans animals
this desire to murder
not out of a need
but out of pure lusts
no longer humans to be
a killing cousin herd!

“Seems like sports heroes are deaf and don’t care except what they want to hear – they’ve put their line in the dust – swaying millions without merit – going about it in the wrong way – they need to be in the inner-cities helping those who’ve lost their way and thus making anyone who is similar to them a potential friend of theirs and thus a potential person of interest to the police who are being killed by any and all – for the past eight years under the protection of the last administration and some who are still in office in many of the urban inner-cities. Unless the killing of police stops and the rioting stops – and the slanderous name calling by these candy fed athletes. The media loves it and therefore encourage anything which will destroy this nation – the Constitution – and our current president.”  cji 9/25/17

"How's It Going to End" (Epilogue)


“How’s It Going to End”

cji
9/25/17

(Epilogue:
When one studies history
one either learns or loses
throughout history conflicts
instigated by others
pitting brother to brother
sister to sister as well
family to family always
to do away with instigators
getting down the face to face
bringing sides together
communicating fully
understanding each other
to learn and to grow
studying history to learn!)

(5) "Thoughts"


(5)
“Thoughts”
cji
9/25/17
Starting with respect
one for the other always
respect for a nation
which allows protest
giving freedom’s rights
honor the flag of choice
honor each’s point of view
seeking to find solution
not inciting more hatred
not fining one or the other
allowing each to present
but first to honor flag
honoring the nation
seeking for mutual love
for we’re commanded
to love all–no exceptions
starting with respect!

"What to Do"


(4)
“What to Do”
cji
9/25/17
Frustrated and ignored
wanting to find fairness
undo the wrongness
however not forgetting
innocent blacks/whites
both being murdered
black cops/white cops
mistaken or just fear
afraid of facing a criminal
thus to see all the same
what to do to change
so much engrained
two views/two differences
media/politicians/liars
engorging the hatred
frustrated and ignored!

(3) "What's It Like"


(3)
“What’s It Like”
cji
9/25/17
One a routine check
one with weapons
one unassuming
one scared to death
every time driving
every time seeing
police patrolling
targeted stopped
to be really afraid
not what I’ve done
just because of others
criminals – druggies
fitting a profile of hate
too many bad cops
too many bad people
so few good cops
what’s it like to live
inciting protests
protecting the innocent
unfortunately the bad too!

(2) "I'm Black"


(2)
“I’m Black”
cji
9/25/17
Gun pulled and pointed
or at least by the leg
asking license/insurance
showing both wondering
‘why was I pulled over’
then comes the excuses
‘following, looking suspicious’
others similar but lies
I’d done nothing wrong
but had a gun pointed
one wrong movement
I’d be dead – and why
because I was Black!

(1) "Your White"


(1)
“Your White”
cji
9/25/17
No gun pulled/pointed
asking license/insurance
showing both wondering
‘why was I pulled over’
‘routine stop-nothing more’
told to go on my way
traffic stop is over
no gun pulled/pointed!

"What It's All About" (Prologue)


“What It’s All About”

cji
9/25/17

(Prologue:
We each get pulled over
having done nothing wrong
police get out of their car
sometimes one or more
sometimes with guns drawn
sometimes gun in holster
sometimes gun pointed
at yours or my head
why one not the other
skin color the difference!)

"Gold Star Mother's Day"


“Gold Star Mother’s Day”

cji
9/24/17

Today we honor the few
Gold star Mother’s Day
those who’ve sacrificed
daughters and sons
(some husbands)
feeling loss and sorrow
while also understanding
why this occurred to them
knowing of the eternities
sacrificing in pure love!
