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!”

LET'S PRACTICE

 “Let's practice being faithful folks, today. Let's trust the Lord, and trust in truths he taught. Let's not let idols lead our hearts astray, but let his truths remove all lies we've bought! The Lord o' Love desires ta make ya free, so why not honor helpful truths he said? Thou shalt not kill, nor even angry be, but Love the Lord and everyone, instead!”
