Dreams of a Liberal

I want to trust in other people, That could be my biggest flaw, Like God the Father, I am dreaming All will come to love His law. It’s sad to see so many people Bogged down in their Hellish greed, When fairness can extinguish fires of Hateful and self-centered need. The hallmark of a hopeful world is Surely level playing field, Not granaries of billionaires with Monstrous wealth to hold and shield. Those shouting loudest “I’ve got mine!” are Likely earth’s most damaged souls, Their “You get yours!” proves bankruptcy of Heart, of mind, and servile goals. Unknowingly they fan Hell’s flames, the Very source of all their pain, Pass laws to help them garnish more (while Blithely drinking their champagne.) There’s just one ending to this story If our God exists at all, Don’t deify a “Golden Calf” if You propose to serve God’s call. Long Tooth January 1, 2017
