"because We Deserve It"?
Christ said:
“I leave you with another commandment.
Love others as I have loved you.”
“Let the little children come to me,
For the Kingdom of God is made up of these.”
Humanity has missed and will miss them dearly,
How many saviors in one million strong,
Slaughtered for convenience yearly,
By a proud and licentious throng.
We have come to believe the verbal engineering talk.
Mr. Webster says it all really quite simple and plain.
To mangle and kill with malice aforethought .
That’s murder, "abortion" the engineered name.
How many prophets, Ghandis, Kings and dreams,
Destroyed in these political, selfish schemes,
Disdaining and disallowing our salvation to carry on,
They come through us, not from us as said by Gibran.
Easy to blame the many voted in,
But how in Hades did they get there?
“Voted”, the keyword to economy’s spin.
The dollar god, ...do babies care?
Yes we can prose about love and compassion,
But my friends, love is in the mind and will.
Feeling good warm fuzzies are all the fashion,
Yet, what part of love can vote to kill?
Do this “because you deserve it” the ads say,
“because you’re worth it”. We have our nerve!
Lord, if we don’t change.. come doomsday,
Humanity will get "what we deserve."
