“Stand In Fear of The Lord’s Justice” copyright 2010 John J. Rigo, upcoming book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

 

 

“Hence my Lord, it is not my will that I follow, but Thy Will for the purpose of my life.”

I stand with courage in the shadow of my Lord.

The Lord blesses me with His Love.

The Lord protects me from those

who attempt to bring me harm.

 

His justice surpasses any justice

man can render their enemies.

My enemies are fools.

 

As the fallen Angel thought of himself as a God,

he believed his own strength exceeded the Lord.

He shivers in fear before the Light of the Lord.

I kneel in homage and praise of my Lord’s Name

with humble thanks for His timely justice.

“A Sense of Spirit” copyright 2013 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

It is a sense of spirit

that I behold in surveying my land.

It is a spirit that I never beheld before.

 

It is the beauty of the land

stretching out before me

in endless sky

and gentle brezzes

that touch my face. 

 

Looking Southwest from our back porch in Eustace, Texas on FM Road 2709.

I am now away from a city

I no longer love 

which only offers within itself

heart retching noise

and endless waste. 

 

My new country home is

a place called Eustace, Texas.

It is a sense of peace of spirit

that now abounds

around me each day

upon these twenty-nine acres. 

 

Welcome to East Texas

A preview and slice of heaven

of where my heart now lies.

“The Return Dread of Cancer” copyright 2012 John J. Rigo, upcoming book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

 

 

 

“Parked in Doctor’s Slot at Cancer Treatment Center”

She is a two-time breast cancer survivor.

This dreaded disease lingers over her life each day.

Now in her senior years

she faces the lost of dear friends each day.

 

Each death of a friend by cancer brings back the fear to her.

Each similar pain suffered by cancer 

when shared by those who passed on

brings the horror that this may be a return

of the dark horror.

 

Her anger with the medical profession increases each day.

Billions of dollars have been spent in research over the years

yet the treatments are as backward as cave times.

 

Parked in the Doctors Slot of the cancer treatment center

is a Rolls Silver Cloud Convertible.

Its shiny green color

speaks of the monies that were drained from her body

as the fluid of death was put into her veins.

 

Cannot this horror of death

be destroyed

that takes us from our loved ones?

“Fair Weather Friends” copyright 2012 John J. Rigo, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

“Commentary updated January 26th, 2013.  It is with joy in praises of the Lord that I render happiness in being joined by my two sisters of the heart in their revelations of the dark corners of my town.  Blessings this day to Lorene and Holly, my sisters of my heart.”

 

 

Thru Seventy years of life on this world

there has been a few lessons of life

that were difficult to learn.

 

Knowing the difference

between true friendships and Fair Weather Friends

was one of the hardest lessons of all.

 

In  discovering that vast difference in friendships

I believe we live in a form of self-denial

in realizing the differences.

 

I am now painfully aware

that the best friends I ever had

are now long dead.

 

Thank you Lord

for being to me

the friend that no other is.

 

As my Father once related to me

“One could live a lifetime and be able to count

the true friends they would have had

on one hand.”

 

I have been blessed in my lifetime

to have had two of those real friends

with now my Lord

as my constant Third.

“The Gathering of God’s Men” copyright 2010 John J. Rigo, upcoming, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

“A Gathering of Buzzards in the midst of sheep”

  

It was a small community health club

in Gun Barrel City in East Texas

where they met

these men of “The Clothe.”

The meeting was twice a week.

 

A gathering of buzzards

discussing their frightened flock of sheep.

They discussed the personal lives of their church members

amidst laughter as if they were young girls in a locker room.

 

They spoke of the mental depression

the illnesses

and the marriage break-up’s of their charges

within their churches.

 

Upon hearing of a transfer of one of their members to another’s church

there was even more loud and boastful laughter among these men.

There was no subject regarding their charges

that was too personal

and too confidential

for them to discuss among themselves.

 

Faithful church members

were nothing more

than chess pieces on a board

to these men.

Jesus wept.

“Today We Lost Our Beloved Pets” copyright 2012, Updated January 5th, 2012 with Video Link, upcoming poetry book, “Passion Amidst Apathy”

 

 

Our Beloved “Mickey” the oldest of our two pets.

This poem was orginally posted on January 1st, 2012.

 

Update on January 5th, 2012:  This past Wednesday night at 10 p.m., Channel Eight News at WFAA.com did a news piece on this story by reporter, Jobin Panicker.  It seems that this Frigidaire Gallery Electric stove is a “Killer” with the “self-clean” option engaged.  It is our belief that this option when engaged may have been the killer of many babies, older senior and pets over the years.  We believe the manufacturer of these products with the Telfon coatings have kept a low profile on these unreported deaths due to this malfunction and coating.   Following is the Link to that Channel Eight Dallas/Ft. Worth TV Story with full video:

Today we lost our Beloved Pets.

Mickey was the oldest of our two blue and gold parrots.

He was seventy-one in human years.

We had Mickey for over twenty-four years.

 

Minnie was fifty in human years.

We had her for over seventeen years.

We loved these two bird dearly.

They were our beloved family.

They were irreplaceable in our hearts.

 

The accident was tragic.

They were on their bird stands in our great room.

It was our beloved lake house on Cedar Creek Lake in Texas.

 

We had the new electric stove for a short while.

The night before my wife fixed a punkin pie for friends.

It was a New Years party and the home of our friends.

The pie boiled and overflowed in the oven.

 

This morning with the birds in room

my wife turned on the “self-clean” feature.

Within an hour the birds acted strangely

like they could not breath.

 

We rushed them both to the front

porch while they were grasping for breath.

They both died with minutes of each other.

We love Mickey and Minnie with all our hearts.

Our lives will never be the same without them.
