Preachers And Presidents Poem by Karl Stuart Kline

The Preachers’ congregation is confused
The Sophist twists logic to his own use,
And their trust, wives and children are abused...
Fallacious reasoning becomes abuse,

Sending women and children forth to die,
Taking their lives in a reign of terror,
Dying only so that others will die,
Honor and Sacrifice’s twisted mirror...

How much better is the politician?
Who, citing “Weapons of Mass Destruction, ”
Brings ruin to his own population
More surely than outside intervention!

The Seeds of Doubt and Seeds of Destruction,
Seeds that lead To Death and Devastation.
