The Pendulum Swings
Times are certainly
changing
When I was young I
was a democrat
My mother never
talked politics
My dad had converted
to FDR
Families normally vote
with their parents if they vote at all
We were blue collar
Dad a railroader
while Mom raised ten kids
Blue collar workers
and all union workers
followed the liberal-Progressive line of the
democrats fairly blindly
As kids became
educated during the forties and fifties
By mainly
conservative teachers ,
Many, mainly
Christians, changed their thoughts to conservatism with truth sanctified
Never all of course,
but sufficiently so to create like- thinking voters
And politicians who
commanded unending funds
Steadily changed our
way of life
Upton Sinclair had
written “The Jungle” in 1906
Which profoundly
changed the meatpacking industry in Chicago and America due
to Teddy Roosevelt’s
presidential and congressional action
Selfishness ruins any
system man, and even God, has created
God stood alone in
not giving it its’ way.
The point is that the
selfishness of supposedly selfless
socialists
Created communist
systems in which the “Party”
Lived so much better
than the Proletariat, ostensibly in the USSR
(Union of Soviet
Socialist Russia), China, Cuba, Venezuela and several others.
The leaders proved by
their selfishness and control, that their own followers
Were privileged over
the proletariat
Thusly we live in a
continually worsening troubled world
Whereby the real
contributors (workers and earners) become fewer
While the followers
grow more and more as takers
until the system just
does not work
Some mistake God’s
own system as weak because
He stressed love and
caring
But our loving God
also has wrath much stronger than any fascist system
And as with Noah’s
Ark and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
God must be tiring of
His people’s iniquities
To the point of our
destruction although only He knows when
Our economy swings
From the apex on the left
where we need
socialistic steps to the Nadir on the bottom
where there is a very
temporary balance
to the apex on the
right where we need definite corrections
or a return to better
our system
We continue on our
economic swings
I pray for the
inevitable love and kindness of our Christian God
