Perfect People

    Pompous people pronounce with purified pain
    The righteous road is rocky and riddled with rain
    The wide way will be wicked and woefully wrong
    Beware and behave and begin by begging to belong
    And the child sofetly stirs from within.

    Clergy cry come correct controversial crime
    Metphors many mumble and magnificent mime
    Prophets produce ponderous paths for the pure
    Saviors surmise strategies simple and secure
    And a new life very quietly does begin.

    Priest propose problems perplexing and profound
    Ministers manipulate the multitudes middle ground
    A feverish frenzy of ferver finds fellows forlorn
    Hideous hauntings hallow hearts of all heaven born
    And the child in the womb remains free of our sin.

    While wicked women willfully weave a worrisome way
    Malignant men manufacture machinery made for mayday
    Riches are righteous, repenting reveals no reward
    Beauty becomes bogus bought by beings beyond bored
    And the child’s peace prevails genuine.

    Corruptions cause columns of calloused creatures
    Evil evolves even easier than evil endures
    Chilling choices chop chasms twixt chosen and child
    Demented doctors destroy daily each daughter defiled
    And the child is mankind’s only next of kin.

    What way will we wander, with wisdom’s warning wrought
    Never needing to nurture near by neighbors for naught
    Or yearning for Yesterdays in years yielding to youth
    Turn towards Tomorrow to teach the tremendous truth
    That the child is our future, as children have always been.
