When The Right Thing To Do
loses consensus nationwide,
we no longer can boast of
"One nation under God
with liberty and justice for all."

All it took were malcontents
with conspiracy theories
broadcasting the endless ways
democracy was unfair to them
and their kind,
for "What about ME?" and
"When is it going to be MY turn?"
to expose the fragile nature
of good faith working
for the best interest of all concerned
when the loud and the vicious/atrocious
are committed to creating chaos unending
with their grievances and objections
against any system that does not
cater to their desires which will always
be contrary to the true good of those
they hate,
making getting along together
forever out of the question.

Creating turmoil is their only joy in life,
destroying democracy is their only goal,
and employing Guerrilla warfare
on a political/social/cultural level
is their only means to effecting their end
of ending democracy in their lifetime,
and to hell with the good of anyone not like them.

I'm retired, and still finding my way--but now, I don't have to pretend that I know what I'm doing. I retired after 40.5 years as a minister in the Presbyterian Church USA, serving churches in Louisiana, Mississippi and North Carolina. I graduated from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, in Austin, Texas, and Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana. My wife, Judy, and I have three daughters, five granddaughters, one great granddaughter, and a great grandson on the way, within about ten minutes from where we live--and are enjoying our retirement as much as we have ever enjoyed anything.
