LEFT OR RIGHT?<\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

02-23-2025<\/p>\n

It is just left or right, left or right,
\nHow some Christians love to fight.
\nSome are Dems, yet others GOP,
\nIt\u2019s so sad that they refuse to see.<\/p>\n

Tangled in politics, oh what a lie,
\nDeceived by Satan, why oh why?
\nOut of this world we are called,
\nYet by the lion many are mauled.<\/p>\n

Changing the system from within,
\nIs a fool\u2019s errand you\u2019ll never win.
\nWasting time on pointless stuff,
\nYour endeavors won\u2019t be enough.<\/p>\n

Your battle should be for the Lord,
\nHe gave you armor and a sword.
\nSo explain why you left your post,
\nWhich king do you love the most?<\/p>\n

Time to wake up, back to the wall,
\nIf you should fail, no rewards at all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
