We will have no shepherd,
and yet we shall not want …
By getting a competitive
and marketable degree I have postured myself to lie down in the green pastures.
By attaining a certain
socio-economic status I am able to reside beside the still waters,
I maintaining a generally
law-abiding lifestyle I walk on the paths of practicing random acts of kindness
from time to time for the sake of a tolerant coexistence,
Yea, though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death with the help of my therapist I will
fear no evil; my expansive healthcare benefits and the technical advances of
medical researchers comfort me.
Thanks to modern biology,
nutritional science, and economics – I have prepared a table for myself and my
elected officials wield our military might to keep our enemies as far away as
possible.
I’m able to take
advantage of the convergence of Madison Avenue and Wallstreet so that my head
is anointed with this season’s latest fashionable accessories, and inasmuch as
I’m able to be savvy and tap into their lifegiving streams - my cup runneth
over.
Surely material abundance
and the right to make my own personal choices about truth and reality shall
follow me all the days of my life and then afterward I will dwell in the house
of bliss forever according to the details of my own preferred religion’s happy
ending – unless of course there is no life after death in which case, I won’t.
