Jesus at Work

Here a tribute to the kind-hearted
who among the many hardened ones
save the day
reaching out to the battered ones
 

Here a trilbute to the tender-hearted
who only ask for love in return
 

Place the spot-light on self-styled "realists"
who strike out at others in the name of necessity.

Strike down those who in the name of order
and freedom enslave everyone but themselves

Shun the dishonest and the cowards who turn away
rather than confront evil or welcome its embarace

  Rake the malicious gossips who sew deceit into the fabric
of our lives while hiding behind he-said- she said curtains
 

Stand down the bullies who bully everyone they can
especially the children. Prepare a special place for them in hell.

Stare down the critics who have no solutions but only negativities
whose every sentence begins with "Yes-but."

Confront the office boss whose very life-blood is bossing others

Dress down the "always right" authoritarian abusing power.

Protect the children and the gentle-natured

Stay the rising hand and the cutting tongue

Gentle the loving and the kind and do something to help everyday

Get out, don't stay home and make things better

Don't take work and cut-throat profit values home with you

Don't make money your God

Take revenge on no one, learn to be human
 

Do what Jesus would do because
we, each and everyone, has his example.

Sounds like the 15 commandments in real time. Patrick

What a timely poem, Lonnie, and yet timeless, for all the evils that have been visited upon the Middle East as well as those who are suffering so in Asia.
Blessings,
Christine
