May We Truly Follow The You We Profess To Follow

Accepting discrimination,
on any grounds;
Allowing the end to justify the means,
however cruel or rationalized unlawful the process may be;
Going along to get along,
no matter who is stepped on along the way;
Results in greedy, egotistical,
self-centered, self-absorbed, self-gratifying
ignorantly, cowardly narcissists who are blinded to the reality of our existence.

God forgive us
for the fear, silence, loopholes, and American-dream determination
that justify the urgency to defend status quo morality
by living in complacent contradiction to the
equality, justice, and loving community that is
the You that we profess to follow.
