Poetry
Reaping the Whirlwind, the story of man
from the fall of Adam, the revolt in Cain and Abel,
the bickering in the wilderness, the unfaithfulness of the people
of their leaders, even the wise Solomon, of the schism of the nation
the worship of the fruits of their own labor, of false idols, of
foreign, false gods, the breaches of the covenant, the grousing
of the faithful, the turning away from God, from their God
from our God, throughout history, the failing of human will,
of ages of enlightenment, of human hubris of our own divine
guidance when it was only the voices we wanted to hear
how easily we are fooled, by our own words, by our own
certainty that we are the chosen ones, the ones whom God
speaks through, that we are the anointed ones, the
ones in the right, the right to criticize, to judge
all others, that we are holy enough, to stand in judgment
while living in glass houses one and all, all guilt like the rest
from the dawn of time, to the present age.
So we must all be vigilant, hold our tongues
be charitable, loving, or we too, in our time
will reap the whirlwind too

"For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind."
Hosea 8:7
