Mentally Challenging the Reader

"Poem: The Liar's Limerick"

There Once was a Man Deemed a Liar.
The Words from His Mouth Would Draw Fire.
He'd Tell You a Story,
Some Outrageous, Some Gory,
(All Embellished with Glory)
But Most are of Muck and of Mire.

Poem "Return Our Troops Safely Home"

Return Our Troops Safely Home

Men and Women Are Fervently Fighting
For What Seems Like Eternity
In Bloody Battlefields with Flashes Igniting.
Please Send Our Troops Safely Home.

Fighting For Justice In a Land of Un-Free
In a Battle of Bloodshed and Flying Debris.
A Driving Force with Intent to Break Tyranny.
Bring Our Troops Safely Home.

Risking Their Lives So We Can Be Free,
From A Killing War That Should Never Be.
God In Heaven, Can the People Not See?
We Pray Our Troops Come Safely Home.

We Need Our Fathers, Sisters and Brothers
Here Where They Desire to Be
In the Loving Arms of Friends and their Family.
Please Return Our Troops Safely Home.

Poem: Colors of the Rainbow

I Do Not Fear Those who do not Believe as I,
For We are All a Twinkling in God's Eye.
Colors of the Rainbow and Waves of the Sea,
Jewels of the Planet All are We,
Sharing of Each Others' Company.
