WORSHIP OF THE STATE

 “Now, why do you insist on stayin' lost? You idolize the state by whom you're bossed? When victims worship those who do them wrong, then how can most of us survive for long?”

WILLFUL BLINDNESS

 “With willful blindness practiced now by most, a peaceful future's very much in doubt. When nuclear bombs could make this planet toast, that willful blindness we could do without! When folks start daily reading “Counterpunch”, then maybe we will see some rays of hope. Right now so many minds are out-to-lunch, that Life on Earth is running out o' rope! So, reader, do ya care, er do ya not? Since some don't care, the end is getting near. We must appreciate this chance we've got, and act ta save this planet! Did ya'll hear?”

MERCY FROM YOUR FAITHFUL FRIEND IN HEAVEN

(as though the Lord were speaking)

“Choose love and life, preventing pain and death, at least, as much as possible, my friend. Give thanks with every heartbeat, every breath; upon these deeds all other gifts depend! Live out your thanks in everything you do – by being kind ta you, yourself, and Me. And pray for help, if You’d receive a clue; now, here’s the first: I Live in all ya see. Pervading every bit of time-and-space, I AM the One from whom all things arise. Whenever you’re in need of Saving Grace, please, call on Me; my Mercy satisfies! Love, Your Faithful Friend
