A Serious Election

Not Serious we

(by R.P.Edwards)

Not serious are we

For serious things

Like marriage

And honor

And elections that bring

And so we shall reap

From unserious seeds

Divorce

And dishonor

And a nation...that bleeds

As the election approaches I am painfully mindful: mindful of the ignorant; mindful of the oblivious, and devious; mindful of the dastardly and detached; mindful of the robed religious rogues and the acerbic academics; mindful of the "me first" media and the "do nothing" defenders. And, being mindful of "these," I realize that these, like "I," have the right and duty...to vote. 

But, I'm hopeful for the results a week from now. Hopeful for a more "baby-friendly" congress; a more "Israel-supporting" congress; a more "less of me" congress. Hopeful...for America. So, the "pray-ers" need to pray. And those who keep elections "honest," need to be ever vigilant. Of course, the ballot box will not "save" America, but a step in the right direction...is a step in the right direction.

And, in response to those in "high places" who show "low thinking" in regards to Israel; here's a reminder...
