Through Blinders

The truth can’t be seen through blinders. Eyes and ears covered with hatred. The tongue’s ready-lash sidewinders, twisting and spinning what’s sacred. The truth, the fact, reality masked - the masses bobble their heads. The illusion of blasphemy here, when the scripture’s left unread. No need for truth, when it’s made up. “What is truth,” plank’s in Pilate’s eye. Pilate knows - the charges trumped-up. Wolfish masses prefer a lie. How often the accusation, front page news, folks - everyone’s riled. The leak, having no foundation, reneged where no one looks - exiled. But still the crowd cheers old nick. The stage decked out in crimson fire. A civil war waged with a Bic. No matter the damage - it’s dire! The law, “Love others as yourself,” truculent in divisive ways - ‘stead hate and pride speech off-the-shelf. Lollygagging verses… no one prays… Spend time in the prayer closet. It’s worth every cent! Spare time! Hear God - work up the composite. Don’t listen to the world. PEACE TIME! 9/3/2022
