When All Else Fails
So much insanity in the world.
Wars, crime, abuse, poverty.
Questions arise: what’s real, what’s worth fighting for?
Who’s right? Who’s wrong? Does it even matter?
Are you wrong for believing in right?
Shall we all just give up and hide?
When all else fails, love God and others.
So much confusion
about how to handle life’s problems.
Ah, we all mean well but…
so we fight and demand and isolate and ignore
and condescend, and minimize and quash and quail
and we grab what we can while we’re here.
And maybe we’ll remember our humanity
and toss a few crumbs, a few coins, a few answers.
When all else fails, love God and others.
God simplified living into ten commandments.
But even that’s hard to put into practice.
So He sent His Son as an example,
who simplified the ten even further.
Those who don’t believe in God
can still focus on the loving others part.
When all else fails, love God and others.
