“Trump-et’s Sound” [Publication series]
I think this morning that I see
How Trump-et’s sound appeals – to me,
It’s all related to the fact
That money goes – does not come back.It’s how increasingly ’round here
The system’s rigged – it would appear
That some set up the playing field
So winners win, and “Losers” yield.Lord, take Your Bible-Word intact –
Some scribes or printers find they lack
Words of their own, so take Your Word,
Translate it so it can be heard –By target-group, that they might hear
Your Word in forms today most clear;
And for their services they’re paid –
So far, so good – then comes their raid.“You cannot use these words of mine,
Without permission – or a fine
Will land upon your head, for ‘theft’
Says if you steal, a fine, you’ll get.”Again, that’s fine, no problem-o;
But everyone gives it a go,
Until there’s nothing left within
My enterprise – so why begin?Lord, this frustrates the likes of me –
The rich get richer, that we see –
“For mega-bucks, I’ll show you how
To squeeze mankind (as that’s allowed)”.Lord, “Counter-culture” was the term –
Response folks had, for they soon learned
“If you’re not first to pigsty’s trough,
You’re out of luck” – such all were taught.Old Ringer had the system pegged –
Three types there are, that author said –
They want your chips, though they will say
Quite varied things to get their way…Lord, what I’m hearing is a way
To do all this in what law says –
“You cannot copyright a thought,
Just how it’s stated” – one can walk –A long way down a road with that;
Lord, here it is, it’s what I’ve got –
Five loaves, two fish, which need Your touch
To multiply from small to much.So Lord, how do I do all this?
I’m hearing, “Stu, it’s ‘Kingdom Kiss’ –
That’s all that you’re required to do;
Leave all the rest – as gift, through you.“That is, I give more than enough;
Let all the rest the other touch;
There’s some to eat; and some to give;
Some products make – that all might live.“Stu, think of mana-system Mine –
‘Fill up your jars, then, if there’s time,
Help others fill their jars today;
Prepare for honey, milk, My way’.“For I am still in charge of this;
I’ve lots of ways to share My bliss;
It’s more than just a sloshed-resource;
There’s structure here – for all – of course.”Lord, that’s so cool (though barely grasped);
It does respond to what I asked
For, more than what I’d factored in –
Now – where on earth should I begin?“Well, Stu, take Sun Tsu’s little tome –
You’ve got a click-track, and a tome,
And Bible-reference – maybe free
To use as well (on bended knee).“I’ve filled your pot – go fill the rest;
Take up your task with former zest,
And pour it out to one and all;
And let folks have the rest – though small –“I can enhance that graciously
To folks unseen, who ask of Me
For some way forward, in the mess
The world is in – so I can bless –“Those folks, and others down the line;
Set fire ablaze with light of Mine,
As Ridley, Carver, quipped that day;
For none can quench My light that way.”Thanks Lord for this.
