Rejection
by Ted L Glines

God created everything
every fish and bird and beast
all that crawls and swims and flies
the awesome and the least
and every creature He created
in His consummated art
was endowed with startling skills
and was positively smart
dogs and cats and rabbits
worldly smart at earthly life
platypus and kangaroo
never causing needless strife
even mushrooms in the forest
never ever try to be
any thing but a mushroom
not an aardvark or a tree
yet man is so darned stupid
with his messy wasteful feature
that it's certain writ in stone
God had never made this creature
for God would never make a thing
so blamed greedy jealous mean
to place among His creatures
to bring predation to His scene
after all man's years of ruin
as the creatures cry and grieve
they have finally had enough
and the World is saying “Leave!”

Men Replaced
by Ted L Glines

You might be wondering - what's the fuss
well here's the buzz - it's doom for us
we've been hit by the ole sex bomb
terrorists - vibratingtouch.com
wife on the keyboard - C/C in hand
big ole grin for what she's planned
you may as well go live in the basement
she'll soon receive your cheap replacement
do not snivel - don't be a bore
you are not needed - anymore
no need to groan or moan or linger
her pleasure's on the tip of her finger
so toss away extenze and pills
the whole thing gives me manly chills.

ReBirth
by Ted L Glines

future trembling full of fright
nightmare dreams all through the night
time to cease and see and hear
your life's careening out of gear

no blame for other's guiding voices
it's on you - you make your choices
pick the feathers for your nest
give your blaming voice a rest

when all of life looms dark and vast
full of deals which did not last
cast aside your darkly past
no time left - life passes fast

allow this morning - bright sunrise
newly dawning - fresh surprise
let your heart go dancing free
for life's a garden full of glee

just like butterflies and trees
roses - deer - and honeybees
you've earned your right to peace and cheer
it's guaranteed - right now - right here

you're the magnet for all good
success expected - understood
full of hope - anticipation
life and love in syncopation

spirit soars in symphony
spread your wings - be really free
soul is singing as it must
in perfect love and perfect trust
just for you - new royalty
