TRUE IRONY

It never ceases to amaze me that too many human beings tend to have very little respect for the good mind and intellect that God has given us. The small number of individuals who are willing by their own volition, to take the time to use their own mental processes and make the necessary determinations concerning their own destiny is absolutely astounding! Let’s take the liberty to coin a new word……call it, mentalaxation.

Mentalaxation has been creeping into every facet of our lives for several decades. The use of modern modes of communication, especially the television media has exacerbated the situation. The egotist and elitist seek through this media, to micro-manage our lives rather than provide moral and spiritual leadership. They try their best to convince us through deceit that we should let them do the thinking for us. They simply want us to follow the hog into the ditch!

We tend to follow blindly and like bumper sticker religion we actually guide our lives by their clever sound bites that are the very essence of deception. We are simply becoming too lazy to discern the truth!

Mentalaxation has led us to the belief that we are actually less than we are and it will ultimately rob us of our individuality, our spirituality, and our freedoms. Let us be mindful of a thing called political correctness!

False prophets are not limited to the pulpits of our churches, mosques and synagogues. They are rampant throughout every known profession in this nation. These deceivers seek to make us subservient and dependent upon their thought processes rather than those that our own good minds and intellect can provide. This is the most insidious type of brainwashing and our heritage demands that we reject the life of subjugation that they propose.

We are in a battle for the control of man’s mind, his spirit and his body. We cannot afford for the false prophets to win this battle. To loose would lead to the ultimate loss……that of divine inspiration!

In this old world where we abide,
We somehow take it in our stride.
But, we never seem to take the time
To realize how much we mime
Each other!

We are caught into a deadly game
That immoral men of note and fame,
Use to deceive us with their spin
Of situations we are in.
So, we follow fools!

We get caught up in game and sport
As our ship sails to yonder port.
Then we fail to see
The great potentiality or the opportunity to be
Much better!

Then we seek someone to blame,
To tote the burden of our shame.
The woes that now have come to pass,
We credit all to race or class.
But, never to ourselves!

We feel somehow, so all alone,
As we cry out, to howl, to moan.
We sit around and agonize
And then refuse to socialize
With anyone!

We sometimes act like alley cats
With selfish greed and petty spats.
Then we try our best to repent,
But, we go right back again and vent
Our anger!

We organize, to maim, to kill
With scalpel, potion, or with pill.
Then think that we will be excused
On judgment day, when we’re accused
Of murder!

We truly are a sorry lot.
But, sometimes we realize what we’ve got
And what we truly ought to be.
So, somewhere there on bended knee
We pray!

With the many faults of which I speak,
Each of us is quite unique.
Please don’t laugh, there is no test
But, you must admit we are the best
God has to offer!

If we are not, who is?
