(A poem on aging)
–
American kids over-sexed,
We shiver for what comes next…
Older parts fail
No drug can avail,
To solve abysmal success!
–
Addicted–what that means–
The failing physical versus day dreams…
Almost abuse
Of things of no use,
No more great shivers and screams!
–
Easy entry to sex,
Just how to get out, disconnects…
Pushing for joy
Won’t work, Old Boy,
Can’t always keep what you “expects”.

–J.E.C.
BACK FROM AN ABYSS
–
Three more days and I’m free,
From chajns that had hold of me…
God wiped out claims
On several games
I’ll bend my knee to Him, only!
–
The abyss in question: Ebay…
With regret for the people betrayed…
Too easy to fall
And spend it all,
My God loves me though He’s dismayed.
–
For the sake of a good life tasted,
So much money’s been wasted…
Big debts unpaid
The addict laid
Himself and family debt-pasted.
–Jonathan Caswell
THE DEVIL’S IN DE MALES
(OR IN DE FE-MALES!)
The devil’s in details
Of males and females,
Wanting wilder oats when they have calmed down…
When we want cheering
Temptation’s in the clearing,
Waiting for us to act like a clown!
–
Doesn’t matter who you are
Righteousness won’t go far,
If we do not exercise self-control…
It may seem more fun
To be on the run,
But we cannot out run sin’s black hole.
–
Don’t know about you women
But we men get a grinning,
Taking harder stronger stuff to get a smile…
Day dreams and picture schemes
Take more work behind the scenes,
And we have to stop and rest for a while.
–
Better still find conviction
To deal with the addiction,
Enter “rehab.” to clarify the soul…
Put aside the off-colored
And eating many crullers,
Cleanse your spirit and return to being whole!
–Jonathan Caswell
