Shifting Sands

2014 Albert Moyer, Jr.

For the sands are shifting

In an incomprehensible way.

Our moral fabric stripped away.

People talk, walk, and wonder,

” Why are people suffering?”

They cry in agony from the pain.

Their salaries are low,

And the violence is high.

Yet they fail to look up,

And humble themselves to the most high.

For the reprobate mind,

Their eyes are blind.

For they will never see the signs.

They run crazy like ants,

From a mound that has been kicked,

Listening to false prophets,

Only to be tricked.

For their pain is real,

It cannot be denied.

Yet it could all change,

If they ask the Lord,

To be on their side.

This haiku is based on tips from the book Survive by Les Stroud

Survival – A Haiku

Build a good shelter

Tinder, twigs, wood, and nice fire

Locate water source.

Here is a new song that is positive and uplifting for those that have been bullied, abused, hurt, etc.

I’m Not Your Suicide by Michael Sweet

They say that time can heal the pain, the scars

Forgive, forget – that only goes so far

You were someone I opened my heart to

Till I asked you for help, you became someone else

I was sanctified – I used to feel justified

Only to be crucified, by you – by you

My life has just begun, I’m standing in the shining sun

I’m not gonna run and hide, lay down and die

No I’m not your suicide

The stones you throw might bruise my bones, my skin

Reap what you sow, the truth will show in the end

I won’t break under pressure – I wouldn’t give you that pleasure

I was sanctified – I used to feel justified

Only to be crucified, by you – by you

My life has just begun, I’m standing in the shining sun

I’m not gonna run and hide, lay down and die

No I’m not your suicide

Are you so pitiful that you want to be me?

I was sanctified – I used to feel justified

Only to be crucified, by you – by you

My life has just begun, I’m standing in the shining sun

I’m not gonna run and hide, lay down and die

No I’m not your suicide

Unconstrained by convention

No obligations.

For those of us that have children or have family members with children in the U.S. Perhaps, you are a teacher or in education.

Here is a great link for bullying laws. The best way to deal with problems is to know the law and how to fight it.

Chicken Waldorf Salad

I am still cooking all the time and I often do not have time to post everything, but this Waldorf salad I made was exceptional, as I added seasoned grilled chicken.

Here is the recipe I used

Must Be Heaven is a sandwich, pie, and ice cream shop in downtown Brenham, Texas. I arrived on a weekend and I knew I was about to encounter something great because the line for service was stretching outside the restaurant. The workers and service staff take great pride in providing you with the best experience and food possible. The interior has a lot of antiques and historical items and the aromas summon a foodie like the pied piper.  The Reubens, sausage sandwiches, and sawdust pie are HEAVENLY! For more information visit http://mustbeheaven.com/

Here are some photos I took at the restaurant. I highly recommend it.
