It’s just another smear campaign
with a phony baloney agenda
to keep people from their birthright
and twisted into tortuous positions of pain —
agendas perpetrated by the few and foisted
upon the many — read here,
there, everywhere. On the heels of
Original Blessing marches Original Fear
and fear is the best tool ever invented
to get what one wants in places far and near.
Just scare them to death with the threat
of death; their coming, their coming,
fill in the blank_______;
upon this the devious do bank
to get Esau’s birthright for a bowl of stew —
nothing short of a poisonous brew.
They will stop at nothing, more relentless
than both big city sewer and farm rats
in a silo
and where are all the hunting cats
to stand guard high and low?
Is there one in this most timid
society who takes his or her nose
out of electronic devices
to stand against the tyranny of the few
and all their loud voices?
It’s nothing new; it’s an old, old story,
but tell me the old, old story of
Jesus and his glory, tell me the old,
old story of Jesus and his agape, self-
sacrificial, suffering for justice,
peace seeking love before everyone
forgets.
