Raymond A. Foss Poems

Within the words of the scripture
the sermon on the mount
words of power, that love liberates
loosing the bonds of hate
of the cost of the cycle on the soul
freeing the oppressed
from the power over them
letting them love unconditionally
Drawing nearer to the master
hearing his call
uncluttered, unburdened
without trouble at all

January 18, 2009
the message, “It’s not just a dream but a reality”
on the sign in front of church,
the story of Moses and Joshua,
Deuteronomy 34:1-12
Joshua 1:1-9
and on the juxtaposition of the
80th birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.
and the inauguration of Barack Obama
as President of the United States of America
along with
Micah 4:1-4
Matthew 5:43-48
the sermon, “Love Your Who???”,
by Reverend Huntley Halvorson,
Suncook United Methodist Church, Suncook, NH,
and the hypothetical put to Eric Holder, nominee for Attorney General,
by Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) on the use of waterboarding,
January 15, 2009, during his Senate Confirmation Hearings,
