Poem
The KISS Principle! When ‘rich’ think life’s their oyster, ‘cultured pearls’ establish worth, and ‘folks who pray’ think heaven’s theirs because of ‘selfless’ acts, when poverty’s a cloak saints wear to hide their tarnished souls, and ‘men of god’ extort flocks to build monuments as proof of creds, credulity gets stretched beyond Creation’s stars. Does treasure grow in heaven through such vanity as this? Are heaven’s mansions built by us (through acts on earth) or God? Humility suggests additions you can make to Grace? Is letting God’s love shine through you a path to future space that’s in His will, shows love for Truth, if God exists or not? Some will maintain I say too much, but that’s not so, for mirth, the joy a faithful servant knows (who serves the truth) impacts one’s neighborhood as well when love makes blessings come to pass: your joke helps friends with move / storm shelter’s found - a stranger’s roof / a neighbor’s helped to change a flat (one-offs of kindness - soft guitars) / a war avoided with a smile (life’s better when we KISS)! Do loving acts occur unnoticed? Wouldn’t that be odd? A child skins knees! You kneel, “Are you OK?” Observe result. Do kindnesses extended to another serve a cult? Those blessed who live to see God’s smile: My guess? God courts the lot! Brian Johnston 16th of February in 2022 Poet's Notes: The KISS principle means "Keep It Simple Stupid." In Physics, as in life, preference is often given to new theories that are less complicated when possible, that are beautiful in some way. There is a prejudice toward the idea that God, the Universe perhaps, wants to be understood.
