Is it about politics, religion or war
The chattering of squirrels
In a game of exhortation supreme
Calling lemmings to follow ?
Is respectability lost
Amid minds preening themselves
While hearing only clattering
When opposing voices disagree?
Can there be no marriage,
No union on any echelon,
Since we lost Lennon
Our beloved John?
He imagined and asked us to
Imagine with him…..Peace.
It seems we’ve forgotten to say the least.
Who is out there…..anyone?
Who is out there to say
Enough is enough?
Our house is divided
Can it still stand?
Will civil war breakout again?
I implore we all take a long hard look
Start with ourselves
Reach out with love
Find common ground
Plant seeds of communion
Live together again.
Is it too late?

Forgive me. I sounded like my mother in my reply. In those days humility had a rather self-deprecating sound. Thank you very much, I appreciate your support.

Hey Phyllis, good mornin to you up there in the far north. 🤠
Hey…ain’t it John Lennon who also told us to imagine there’s no heaven and no God?
He ain’t the person I’d be citing as an advice-giver.
(I ain’t hollerin at you. I’m just mentioning that in a way of niceness to you).
Keep seeking truth sister. 😀🙏

Hi Phyllis, I agree. God uses all sorts of people to communicate with us.
It was just Lennon’s specific anti God beliefs that I found suprising as someone a Christian would reference as being insightful.
But do whatever you feel led to do sister, I was just sharing my thoughts.

Always interested in what you have to say, Lee. If I stand frozen in my own interpretations, I risk being like the Sadducees and Pharisees who crucified our Lord. The Holy Spirit is alive and well in me. If I operate on any other measure I will fail my blessed Savior. We cannot walk our genuine walk of faith without listening to what is true from the One who lives within us.
