The Blinded Fall To Damascus

Truth has become socially malleable,
personally customized and saleable.

Ruled Politically incorrect,
by the self appointed elect.

We’ve hit that slippery slope running,
led by diabolical cunning.

We're on that horse and galloping like Saul,
persecuting salvation...right St Paul?

The sin is the same as it used to be,
just a different apple tree.

Work out your salvation in fear and trembling,
for Truth and lies are conveniently blending.

The hypocrisy so evident in this fascinating verse Robert. Your version of the truth is solid and well grounded.

What a wise man you must be Mr. Dufresne. Your words here have so much truth and give rise to many questions about just where we are heading. Thank you for sharing this wisdom...cheers Margaret
