Can We Sweep This Under the Rug?

Bloody Lies

We raise our eyes up and look to the skies,
but it's all been a pack of bloody lies.

We all kneel down before him and give tithes,
to a craven image full of bloody lies.

We pay for a missile that so rudely flies,
to a faceless family with its bloody lies.

We march to Armageddon with regrettable sighs,
powerless to correct our own bloody lies.

To the pulpits of power our pundits rise,
calling it leadership while they spew bloody lies.

To gain such power they must compromise,
in a web of deceit and backbiting bloody lies.

Power begets power and big money buys.
More power to broker its bloody lies.

If all are created equal in his eyes,
Then why all the hierarchy built on bloody lies?

A hierarchy of kingdoms wrought by rusty scythes,
of countless millions smitten by a bloody lies.

A Camelot of fortunes deceiving the eyes.
A shining castle of covetous convenient bloody lies.

We are schizophrenic when our faith denies,
that the thin veil of truth is nothing but bloody lies.

So whether you laugh or cry when a baby cries,
is that baby's life propped up on bloody lies?

Denies. Denies. Denies. Thrice he denies.
The fourth time, can we see through his bloody lies?

I hope so--so that war finally dies.

"To the pulpits of power our pundits rise,

As you have said before, the world will go on in spite of it all, and lies have been the breath of the powerful since the beginning of time. We place far too much faith in man, who as we all know, is extremely flawed. Truth will come to us only when we open ourselves to it and it will surely not come from our leaders. Peace must begin within the heart of each of us and it is our responsibility to make it happen. When we point fingers at others, we are simply passing on the blame and relieving ourselves of the responsibility of creating a better world. In the words of John Lennon..."there are no problems, only solutions." Excellent Rant, Ron.
Take care,
Sherry

I feel the anger and relate. It's a heartbreaking state of affairs. If only people would practice what they preach. My faith is based in love. God is love. When I practice love, I am reflecting what God is in me. Love is compassionate, merciful, forgiving and just. I try to remember this when my own human emotions prevail.
I hope this makes people sit up and pay attention. It is enough!

Quite a just and titanic rant against the corruption of power and moral intent on our beleaguered planet. The voice of your reason rings loud with clarity, pain and truth.

When the vast majority live in apathy...what will it take other than to scratch it all and start over.
You amaze me, Ronald Hull ,and you're right on the money and have every right to your opinions, Perhaps it will waken those who it WILL affect!
Love,
Susan

Scathing Ron.

You place yourself into an objective perspective and view humanities foibles, shortcomings, anomalies, sins and pride from a distance with the skill of a surgeon.

Denies, denies, denies, seems to be a reference to Peters denial of Jesus before the crucifixion.

Let us hope for the author of peace to return in the very near future.

Light and Wisdom ...
