Today Will Have to Wait

And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.   Matthew 19:16-17

We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to our own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.   Isaiah 53:6

“When you stop viewing the world from the perspective of who is right, who is wrong, who is good, who is bad and start viewing it from the perspective that on our own, we are all wrong, we all have gone astray, it changes everything.” – W.F. Rhoads

I started to get dressed,

instead, all I could do was lay back down;

today will have to wait;

that is how it is, when the clock runs down,

but it continues to move, so there is still hope;

on television, angry crowds protest,

screaming words of hate at little children,

who stare out of a bus window,

wondering what they have done wrong,

to be the objects of such maniacal wrath,

when the truth is, they have done nothing,

except be born in a world where might makes right,

and wealth demands privilege;

the mob stands firm, in their position of moral

and political correction,

their comments, their words,

their agendas, their motives,

their ulterior objectives,

their over the top protests;

silently gives them away;

in it all, there is fear,

in it all is self-preservation,

in it all is greed;

I no longer participate in this self-illusion,

this mockery, this secret subterfuge,

this moral dilemma,

it is what it is, nothing can change it,

nothing can undo it,

darkness knows not mercy,

evil has it’s day;

good people, blinded by hate,

drowning in the cesspool

of their own self-righteousness;

today will have to wait.
