Poem
Can ‘Religious’ folk claim a connection with God who refuse to condemn the cops’ stopping of those (who refuse to obey), who retreat from police at a walk (not a run), and get shot in the back for this act of defiance? Is probity here! Should the ‘keepers of peace’ war with ‘national soul?’ Does a cop (like our President claims that he can), have the right to kill simply at will (no restraint) and not ever be punished as if he were God? Must a ‘Christian’ waste prayer on an ego like this, might a soul be endangered that prays for its death (how we pray that’s not so)! Lord, please say if it’s so! Though I’d not wish life’s end for ‘Conservative’ friends or the pack rats who lead the whole world to despair. Let me follow ‘MY conscience’ and vote to repair all the damage ‘Cons’ do toward nefarious ends (in their claim they own rights in God’s will they pursue) though at best they more prove they’re the heirs of Macbeth! Are the humble, more moral, more ‘Christian,’ who kiss just the hem of Christ’s robe? To kiss Trump’s ass seems odd though appearance is gold to the masses; it ain’t! Can a life that’s ‘worth living’ be ‘life with no plan’ but to squirrel away nuts? Is ‘sharing’ a toll or a pleasure the faithful indulge in that’s near to perfection? Concern for one’s brother proves ‘lack of self-love’ or a love that’s more amped, legalese viewed as damned, and simplicity praised! But who knows with Christ’s death if God’s Grace is the plan? Who wants rod? Long Tooth August 29th in 2020
