Politics

Then He led forth
His people
like sheep,
and guided them
through the wilderness
like a flock.
[Psalms 78:52]
************************
"Lord, are we really SHEEP?"

[SILENCE.]

"Lord?
LORD!
Are You OKAY?"

[CHUCKLE.]

"Oh, GOOD.
(relieved sigh.)
I thought maybe,
the elections were
startin to nauseate YOU,
like the REST of us!"

"No, My child."

"REALLY, Lord?
You must have a
high NAUSEA threshold!
That's pretty GOOD!"

[SMILE.]
"Speak your mind, child."

"Well......You know, Lord....
I can't stand when these
political yahoos start
saying nasty things,
about each other."

[PATIENT NOD.]

"It's just not very
classy, is all."

"I understand, My precious."

"The thing is, Lord....
this newest election isn't
about the issues, as it
should be. It's about
the people who wanna
get ELECTED, Ya know?"

[PATIENT SILENCE.]

"So....I guess, I answered
my own QUESTION, Lord!"

"Which one, child."

"Huh? Oh, the one
about why You always
compare us to SHEEP!"

[SOLEMN NOD.]
***************************
I have gone astray,
like a lost sheep.
[Psalms 119:176]
