At the Golden Dawn of Understanding
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
It was late in gorgeous springtime, and I was teaching my class,
A lesson in African history, and the events of time's hourglass.
My fourth graders were very attentive, as I recounted the glory,
Of tales such as Mansa Musa's, maybe the richest man in history!
Sultan of Mali was Mansa Musa, during the far off Middle Ages,
The world's largest gold producers maybe, say the history sages.
When Mali consisted of 400 cities, he was a patron of the arts.

The Papal Vision
by Evelyn Judy Buehler
In verity and with great hopes,
Malachy told his Prophecy of Popes!
Centuries ago, he was called to Rome,
Like the bees to their honeycomb.
There a beauteous vision did flower,
Of all remaining popes in their hour!
His sequence of most cryptic phrases,
From first to last, still quite amazes.

Thank you Lord!
by Graham Ereks
My heart is filled with songs of praise,
For when I am down you alone raise
Me. When I was nothing you made me fly
And now I jolly ceaselessly, so worth it.
I'm the guilty one but you sacrificed your son
Who descended willingly, got scotched by the sun,
Uncladded, tortured and mocked, what a rawdeal!
Now I stand before you blameless and worthy Do I deserve it?

There exists no place
by Amy Michelle Mosier
There exists no place
Outside the Lord's grip -
From the outposts of space
To the eclipse of a pit -
He's never far away.

If one screams below,
what the hell is "Above"?

Debt
by bella harrison
Roll a dice
We're here to win, we pay the price
Carefully sculpted, only
for paradise, our sharp edges diffuse, we bruise,
we lose
Ordained with fire, we chase, we choose
Gently stroking our hair, seduced by avarice
She untangles our bows and tightens our knots - she's confused
She says
