O' California (A Lament)

O’ California,

You used to say “God is dead,” but now you say, “He never existed.”
You used to respect The Book of Truth, but now you say Truth doesn’t exist.
You ask for money “for the children.”
You ask for insurance “for the children.”
You ask for laws against spanking “for the children.”
You even outlaw soda in your schools “for the children.”

O’ California

The Book of Truth defines marriage for you, but you in your wisdom disagree.
The Book says that children need a Mother and a Father. You say 2 mothers or 2 fathers are fine.
For who? For the children?
The Book says children require discipline. You say it is better to “reason” with your 2 year old.
The Book says marriage is for life, but you say “it just didn’t work out.”
And our fatherless, undisciplined sons populate our overcrowded prisons.
The Book says sex is for marriage only. Your leaders disagree. They say sex is recreation. They say love and sex are the same thing. They say sex is nobody’s business but their own. They show happy people with many partners enjoying life and being successful. And they are very attractive.

They don’t show… The Children.

They don’t show the losing battle with disease. They don’t show the dead children in the abortionist’s dumpster. They don’t show the destroyed innocence of vulnerable girls. They don’t show the porn-addicted man abusing his daughter. They don’t show the emotional baggage of multiple partners carried into all future relationships. They don’t show Character. They don’t show it because they don’t read or believe Truth. And besides, it doesn’t sell.

O’ California

Your true leaders are not in Sacramento. Your leaders are Actors, TV personalities, Athletes, Movie Writers and Producers. The Pretty People. They are your elected leaders. You vote for them when you emulate their behavior. You vote for them with your credit card. You vote for them when you leave your wife for a more attractive woman. You vote for them when you steal the youthful beauty of your girlfriend through “cohabitation” instead of putting a ring on her finger for life. You buy the cars, clothes, perfumes, and haircuts they tell you to buy.

And you leave The Children in your wreckage.

O’ California

Turn before it is too late. Read The Book. Do what The Book says. Ask what The Book means.
