ALL TOO MANY OF US

“Just give me someone I can demonize, another one to idolize, I'm set. I know I'm right, I'm cool, I'm cute and wise, I'm sure as anyone could ever get! What I believe is fact, beyond all doubt; I'm right, and all my enemies are wrong. Reality, I don't know Much about, 'cause my attention span ain't very long! So, please, indulge and entertain me now, I'm very tired of thinking things so much. And You don't Make much Sense, bud, anyhow; I'm much too busy stayin' outta touch!”

FOR A COMPROMISED CHRISTIAN FRIEND

For a Compromised Christian Friend

Is “Love Your Enemies” just Stupid, Man? Is Doing Good ta Them and Prayin' Dumb? Are We ta Kill as Many As we Can? Is That the Way ta Help God's Kingdom Come?

Was Jesus Just aNother Crazy Nut? Do All the Truths he Spoke no Longer Hold? Ain't Greed and Fears and SelfishNess a Rut? Are We supPosed ta Buy the Lies we're Told?

Let's Think uPon these Things, my Faithful Friend, and Let's not Shuck ourSelves at All taDay! Our Violent Means could Cause our Violent End, and Doubting Folks all Need ta Start ta Pray! I have spoken.
