copied electronically
volumes of Renaissance poetry
from a delicate parchment
to a silicon microchip..
A program of modern efficiency
and coveted convenience
but nowhere near as elegant visually
as the now rapidly fading original..
Whatever pops in my frazzled head goes up on this wall,,, Not always pretty, but I always strive to be a little interesting and thought provoking For more of me in less than 140 characters sample me on Twitter at @WORD_MASSAGER
Post blunder event..
Time to assign fault..
That badge of dishonor..
Unholster the worn finger of blame
and point it in the general direction
of our favorite scapegoat collection..
Just another rote exercise
of convenient alibis..
Cause deep down we know
the biggest enemy of us
is usually US..
OK...
Let's pretend
as a face saving
deflection gesture
it's really THEM
and broadcast their complicity
on all social media frequencies
but truth be told
past experience shows
most times
the foot that trips us up
is usually US..
Of this we are quite aware
as we stare up from the floor
where we've landed many times before..
Trying yet again
to hide from the embarrassment
of being the flawed human
all of US most certainly are
All of God's children
praying together
in splendid houses of worship..
Of course they also sin..
Many of them incessantly
which to me
is the height of hypocrisy
since so many love to preach
about the Lord's many requirements
So the unfaithful
sure can't use ignorance of the rules
as a fall back failure excuse..
So why the constant moral violations
that only serve to jeopardize
their potential heavenly reward?
This does give me reason to pause
if these pilgrims are truly all in
on the prospect of eternal salvation
which as I understand it
is sort of the end game objective
for pious true believers..
Makes me thank God
I'm a practicing agnostic..
