Where The Winds Don’t Blow

Who knows if the Winds all tell the same story?
Perhaps they have new comrades
Who see the four corners of Earth responding
To overwhelming tragedy?

In our fair country
Many reject climate change,
And dismiss evolution as an horrendous hoax.
On both they impose a wall of ignorance.
Four our 6.000 year old Earth all things
Must remain subject only
To a higher power
That loves mankind,
But despairs of
Our moral misdeeds,
And exacts terrible punishment.

I am reminded of those Orthodox Jews
Who insist that the annihilation of 1,000,000 children
Was part of God’s price
For their undefined sins.
When Job asked God to explain WHY
He had suffered such grievous losses,
God spoke only of his power
Nothing more.

In our fair country
Many prefer the God they know
To the parade of facts

That demand there own truth.
