Poetry Friday: Life In A Hall of Mirrors
It's Poetry Friday time and since this is my first Friday since school ended, I thought I might celebrate the start of my ntwith sharing a poem here.
I wrote this poem 32 years ago when I was in my late 20's. I came across it today when going through boxes stored in our Garage Attic or the Grattic as we like to call it.
I recited this poem publicly some 30 years ago. It went over like a lead balloon like all the poems I recited that night. I tool one of them out of mothballs and posted it here on Poetry Friday 3 years back. It was well received so I thought I'd share this one as well.

Rock Musicians keep dreaming until Jesus Rocks their world.
Introduction: Vladimir Lebedev is one of my favorite people in the world. I have thought this about him almost since I met him in Khabarovsk, Russia in December of 1992. Vladimir has has worn many hats in the time I've known him. chauffeur, itinerant musician, soldier, interpreter, pastor, international student, father, husband, missionary but with every hat he's always tried to adorn himself with humility, wisdom, grace, and a desire to show God to others.
To that end, I was delighted, but not surprised, when Vladimir shared some thoughts on musicians using their platforms on his Facebook page earlier this week. I am sharing them here with links to some of the songs that he referenced. I'll add some of my thoughts about his musical musings at the end.
Rock musicians keep dreaming. Good intentions. Strong lyrics. Terrific music. Is there a solution to the world’s evils? Can humanity come together to live in peace? Can we stop hypocrisy and greed in the governments to bring wars to an end? Can we finally start caring for one another instead of looking for reasons to separate and hate?
Long ago, John Lennon with his “Imagine.” Freddy Mercury of Queen with his “Show must go on.” Ozzy (Osbourne) with his “Dreamer.” Russian rockers of various types Zemlyane, Kruiz, and Aria with their “songs for peace.” And more recently Udo Dirkschneider with his soul-shattering “One Heart, One Soul.”
This indeed is a passionate call for common sense, for something every human soul feels deep within. But where is it really taking us? Is there something missing in this search? Is it not crying out into a void? It is impossible to, in the words of Bono from U2, "find what we are looking for" without turning to our Creator and Savior who revealed himself to humanity in the person of Jesus the Christ. He has everything that our whole beings are craving for.
Maybe Blacky Lawless of WASP is right when he sings:
Jesus, I need you now
Show me, I'm lost somehow ...
Is there no hope for me?
Oh, somewhere you'll show for me?
Ooh, Lord remember me, take me up tonight
(Golgotha, 2015)
