"the Cure" (For Health Care) Part 2

Free Verse Rhyme Those that make more, by a percent should pay more, For health care, not grinding the face, of the poor, so sore It is by a flat rate, that the rich legislate, the dictate, of the poor's fate It is so lame, to pay the same, playing the wealthy's game, While the wealthy rise to fame, the poor are forced to play the game, so lame Losing steadily, all the while, forced under rich rule, to be wealthy's fool Love's higher logic, God's fair project, not figured into, vile project, of wealthy logic When increase is by percent, paying fair share, must be by percent Wickedness is far spent, Love's logic to the poor, as been sent Be wise as the serpent, harmless as the Dove, rise up......understand love! Must I spell it out, health care my dear, must by percent, be based on wealth For the poor have nothing left, but themselves, they have no earthly wealth!! 11-9-09 johnmosesfreeman@yahoo.com

Excellent write, John! Simple kindness and caring is out the door for some! Especially those who claim to be "religious". Sometimes I wonder if they forget that Love is ALL. Without it we are nothing!! It is such a shame they way they behave on Capital Hill. Thanks for sharing! Peace and love, audrey

Super part 2 John, email this to the people who may actually learn from it, and do something constructive for a change, and not for themselves >> James

If man were not selfish, God would have instituted a better plan. A higher order of living where people worked hard and to the best of their ability, put every increase into a shared pooled (ALL wealth), and afterward, gave out anything that one needed to live and BE HAPPY! (NOT to be confused with communism.) THE PROBLEM= people do not focus on inner joy and happiness. Instead, they focus on "STUFF!!!". BIG MISTAKE! We only take heart, mind, and soul with us to the other side. Good poem.
