The Here and Now, Here's Why

Two quotes from a British Writer, RICHARD WHATELY, 1787-1863.

"As one may bring himself to believe almost anything he is inclined to believe it makes all the difference whether we begin or end with the inquiry, “what is truth?”

WHAT IS TRUTH?

Based upon the ideals of the parents

A child is reared to know

What the parents believe will be

Because what they say is so

In the modern indoctrination we see

In our schools and beyond

When the ideals will drastically differ

How will the youth respond?

Adhering to mandates of the state

Of a government out of control

It's no wonder that our citizens

Are confused as how to roll

Do they roll on in the shadow of parents

Whose ideology is stamped in stone?

Or do they revert to what the schools teach?

Liberalism overblown!

Will they be rolled over by a government

Blindly falling into step?

Will anyone embrace their own free will

And escape the cage in which they are kept?

What is truth but the logical answers

Known only when there are questions asked

And the logical people willing to stand bold

And take the oppressors all to task

AND!

"It is neglect of timely repair that makes rebuilding necessary."

LIVING IN A CRUMBLING SOCIETY

Naive and insensitive, lazy and feeling scorned

Allowing the world to crumble in the midst of humanity torn

Seeing what happens over there, believing there it will stay

Hoarding our opinions, afraid of what we'll say

Insensitive or ultra-sensitive to feelings

Or too in touch, demanding healing

Of the self-inflicted damnation of some

Certain that they are the persecuted ones

Women, race, ethnic background, social status

The tools of division in the government apparatus

Faith is questioned and demonized

Religion coming more in strange disguises

In the name of humanity where have we gone wrong

That they have banned the singing of patriotic songs?

And God is locked outside the gate

Of the country now existing in a decaying stalemate?

In a CRUMBLING SOCIETY  we are resigned to dwell

Now is it a fact this is a living hell?

Political correctness has gone too far

And we are suspended in the state we are
