Bad Priorities

" Go running through the streets

... creating Divine chaos,

Go running through the world

...giving LOVE, giving LOVE. "

What a time

So much hate (me too)

So much anger (me too)

So much graft and greed

So much lust for power

So much abuse of power

So many people sitting back watching it happen

The environment destroyed

Minorities oppressed

Civil rights erode

Protections for workers erode

Protections for consumers removed.

The poor shame

The elderly abandoned

The mentally ill untreated

The addicted thrown away

All for what?

Money?

Power?

Really?

And we are OK with this?

Ah for some divine chaos

To confuse the smug

To afflict the comfortable

(and comfort the afflicted)

As some divine chaos to bring down

Those who in their pride and greed use and abuse

But here is the point

The sticking point

Divine chaos looks like love

Now let’s wrap our minds and hearts

Around that
