Let's All Revere the Right To Vote
This world is ours to save (or stain with plagues of what is feared).
Wealth builds high fences, rapes beyond (its appetites all ‘Sins’),
truth smeared as pawns protect cruel thrones (make moneyed men man’s kings),
not nation’s ship that floats ALL souls (wealth’s floods can drown the best!)
Is vaccine’s value I survive: Disease that meets its death?
Republicans court fascist dreams and autocratic rule.
All hate to lose when votes are fair! Where’s evidence of fraud?
The suits dismissed they bring to court. Can loss prove con is real?
All losers look to shift the blame; still, votes for wins are there
the next go-round. PLAY FAIR! COURT VOTES! Don’t burn crops sea to sea.
The only heaven (dream of man) is Grace of Christ (that’s free
of actions God demands we make). To call that faith seems fair!
To say “I’m Christian” obfuscates, our judgments can’t repeal
the unconditioned gift of Christ! ‘Conditioned Grace’ sounds odd
as well, for no one groks God’s mind (whose nature’s not a fool!)
Lord, Grace sure levels playing fields for folks who love their breath!
Those on the Right (convinced they’re RIGHT) are stand-outs from the rest
of us who know, at least, that we don’t ‘know!’ Humility’s what sings
the praise that touches God, reveals His own, whose moccasins
love path Christ walks, take dust in stride, whose faith holds cross revered.
