The Pendulum

“Every man is a bigot” Is sad but it’s true Bred in us for survival Negation of you! Oversimplification Which can save your life Makes the different suspect Unless you’re my wife. Though what stirs tribal feeling Is not always wise For a wolf in sheep’s clothing Is Death in disguise. To not compromise ever, Suggests you’re a fool, Unless God made you perfect And you’re just His tool! Bigotry makes choice simple, Unless truth’s your goal. For harsh judgement of others, Endangers the soul. Long Tooth September 5, 2016
