Infinite Wisdom...

'end of times, end of days,
only the strong will survive.
call it justice, the American way,
call it the great lie! ...'

we have made an incredible
mess of this world...
wars, greed, pollution,
poverty, enslavement,
human rights abuses,
hunger, sickness, homelessness...
that's on us!

you want me to believe...
that God, in his infinite wisdom,
is going to come and bail us out...

what if God, in his infinite wisdom,
showed up with a shovel,
and a wheelbarrow...
and said:

'you made this mess,
you clean it up! '

teaching the children
to take responsibility
for their actions...

hmmn...
just a thought!
