Leap day!

I present to you a totally original sketch. No one else could ever have thought of this one. Certainly no one else could draw it this, um.... So, it has come to this.

Voting prayer

Our Father for our leaders we pray
Grant them wisdom and charity and truth
As many of us think of them today
As we sit or stand in the voting booth
Bless our house

Make our leaders strong and right
Compassionate to the lowest of us all
Grant them peace when things get tight
And patience to hear the smallest's call
Meek as a mouse


God bless,

Brethren, there is hope

Tyrants seek control of what is real
Scrooges swindle people out of a deal
Addicts are wrecks who abuse both drugs and sex
Brats who need attention seeking office or detention
We who murder, we who steal

Is it our loss?
To avoid the cross?
Sin is within
Our cuts from lack of guts
A rock lacking moss

To be able to stand with integrity
Instead of living sleepily
Receive Love from above
A must to trust
In the One Who Is most definitely


God bless,

Noah, post-diluvian

Rain, rain, something that rhymes with rain
I, spy, something floating in the sky

Blueprint

What shall we despise?
The malicious and the false
The oppression now

How should we conduct?
Satisfy the afflicted
Food for the hungry

What do we receive?
The delight of the Most High
Light in the darkness


God bless,

Ashes

Ashes to dust, dust to ashes
A man was given vicious lashes
From his back his blood poured on the earth

Ashes given fasting starts
Gloom falls down on our hearts
Causing questions about our very worth

The Bridegroom is no longer here
The world is full of ancient fear
And every treasure box is filled with dearth

Until the son of man shall come
When light over dark has fully won
And every mouth is filled with endless mirth


God bless,

St. Polycarp

And Jesus said "Polycarp, I choose you!"

And the Romans tied him to a pole and burned him, but it wasn't very effective. So they stabbed him, dead.

St. Polycarp, pray for us (and forgive me for being somewhat irreverent)

May God bless,
