Art Wielgus Poet Verse

Morality

If that pagan philosopher, 
who lived before Christ,
said that Humans are moral beings,
because they have freedom to choose,

instead of saying,
that the man is a political being,
we would not have 
so many wars and atrocities

for politics is contained in morality,
but morality is not contained in politics
as throwing atomic bombs demonstrates.
We would not have 

that many divisions of Christ Church.
We would have one code of ethics,
as pagans under Hammurabi demonstrated.
We would not say that Native Americans

do not have souls and would not annihilate them.
We would not throw atomic bombs
on sleeping women and children.
In our litany of wrongs committed,

including abortions.
Phoenicians would still have been living
in the land of Canaan and write 
chronicles in the alphabet which they discovered.
