Food for Thought

Summary:
Yes, this is my voice. Go easy on me 😂

while you’re over there clutching your Bible in your fist

why don’t you consider this…

I’m gonna quote a few verses for you

being so christian…

you might recognize them…

maybe not…

 

“Love thy neighbor as thine own self…”

you should probably revisit that one

I know you don’t follow it

maybe you just don’t remember

 

“Love one another as I have loved you…”

nah…I guess you prefer to pick and choose

 

“Let all that you do be done in love…”

ummm….nope…

doesn’t quite vibe with your actions somehow

 

“Thou shalt have no other gods before me…”

no? not ringing any bells?

 

huh…you might want to take stock of yourself

I’ve heard you refer to him as the “White Messiah”

that sounds an awful lot like worship to me

 

you support them because they validate your hate

what makes you think they’ll draw the line in the same place?

they don’t need you…only your bias

they already have the keys to the safe

they’re not interested in anything but robbing the bank

 

so when you’re ready to retire…

too bad…they took away your social security 

and when you’re sick…tough luck

there went medicaid and medicare…ahh shucks

no food on the table? can’t afford rent?

not their problem…you invited them in

 

talk about blind hate…

I’d say whatever you lose serves you right 

but this is so much bigger than you

but that’s always been the problem…

thinking only of yourself 

I know that’s a bitter truth to swallow

think about it next time you decide which monsters to follow

    • I’ve penned more rants in the past few days than I’d prefer. I really wish they’d stop with the “inspiration” already. But, alas, I fear I’ll lose my voice before they sit the hell down and shut up. Thank you, my friend

  1. Powerful writing, dear Willow! And a sad truth. The Christian hardliners are often exactly the same people who take Christian charity the least serious. Deeply human principles would be so easy to understand. “Love is the only rational act.” ( Mitch Alboum, Tuesdays with Morrie)

    • Hardliners tend to be the ones who prefer to translate to their benefit and bias only. They’re incapable of seeing anything else. Too many wars have occurred over religion. Not enough spirituality and compassion for one another. Thank you, Elke

  2. There are very few folk who sound good when they post like this in my opinion .. You sound great .. and I dig the message you have woven so well through todays fine offering .. I hope whoever motivated you to put pen to paper has learned something as well as a lesson .. Now go well and write on .. Yeah’ no need to be gentle with a voice like that .. Neville

    • I’m struggling hard with the sound of my own voice. We’ll see if I stick with it. It makes me uncomfortable, for some reason. But some messages need one’s own signature on them, I think. Thank you for your support, Neville

  3. The biggest hypocrites in existence are of the church, the most patriotic people have never served their country’s. The loudest ones screaming now supported their downfall. Tight piece Lady

    • They either see because it resonates, or they remain blind because it pinches guilty nerves. They prefer to live in denial and cause others grief. Thank you, Fia
