Moral Guidance...Righteous Anger? Poem by DM W

Moral Guidance...Righteous Anger?



We're badly in need of moral examples.
Remember when Jesus Christ lost his temper
And drove the money-changers from the temple?
That's what I've been concerned with this December.
This crude world is obsessed with profit and greed.
Dumb hyenas dance on literate lions' graves.
Whilst glossy, false wants replace real, pressing needs.
Can those of us who are lost really be saved?

Profound poem. Apt wording and imagery make it exquisite. “” “ Dumb hyenas dance on literate lions' graves.”l....I loved it.
