Led a poetry workshop at Laity Lodge this weekend during the Michael Card retreat. In light of the coming months, here are some poetic thoughts.
A Voter Reads First Peter
Priests are rare today. So are kings.
We overthrow them–divide the power
between voters and delegates and judges,
trust the rule of law over ruling
monarchs. Crowns melt into coins.
Divide the wealth, dilute the ruler
into rules and measurements. Laws
birth lawyers–weak priests to preach
the rule, to stand us up before
fire and flame, sometimes justice burns
where it will. God save us.
