Heartless Endorsers.
The way is narrowed and the pious.
Seen only as a path for exclusion.
Shaking the dust from their sandals,
then thanking God, gloriously
believing they're right.
But being so only brings fleeting comfort;
especially when the directive is at odds with love.
Oh how they smile, acting happily
on their hollow victories.
Unfeeling, as a cold collective, smirk
seeks to snuff out the warmth of grace.
Honestly, the urge is to smack the smirk;
heckle, bar, and exclude in return, but, to what end?
Jesus said, "Turn the other cheek"; but, dang it!
He could see the insidious evil in their hearts,
and called it out!
Put down the sword, sure.
Don't hesitate to turn over a few tables.
Upheaval toward injustice, intolerance
and hate, with love.
A small victory may wake the sleepy mind.
Smile and love, try hard not to judge;
or judge and to be so.
A.o.R.
