Saving the Frog
One day, as children
my cousins and I were playing
in their garden and spied
a snake swallowing a frog.
We felt sorry for the frog
and chased the snake away,
by dousing it with a bucket
of water. But as we played,
we returned to the frog
to see how it was doing
and noticed that is was
covering itself up with dirt.
Throughout the afternoon,
the frog slowly buried itself.
We not only caused the snake
to skip a meal, but we
didn’t help the frog.
People struggle with poverty.
Let’s help them by pooling our money
with greater taxes.
Many of the employed see the
unemployed
have better benefits, so they quit working.
This phenomena increases as workers
pay more and more for nonworkers.
Let’s control what people receive and buy and sell,
so everyone gets something,
plus make sure we get our fair share.
The practice of not feeding wild animals
to prevent them from becoming accustomed to handouts
and not learning to fend for themselves applies to humans.
It’s important to be contributors rather than takers.
People from other countries flee terrible conditions.
We have plenty. Let’s have compassion and share.
Let’s tear down the borders, abolish the rules,
and pay refuges to come up without discrimination.
By destroying our own laws,
we destroy our own people.
Instead of immigrants being helped,
many bring their problems with them such as
drug abuse, crime, poverty and violence
turning their new homes so generously given
into replicas of the places they fled.
Children are being abused.
Women who are unable to raise children
should be allowed to abort them.
Abortion devalues life.
Those who abuse now have a greater reason
and less inhibitions to abuse.
Children are getting killed by shootings.
Let’s take away everyone’s guns.
Shootings only increase because
now there are no good guys with guns
defending the innocent.
The climate is changing.
The world is ending.
Let’s try to save it
by changing all our uses of energy.
Frogs, people the earth
are all temporary. The bigger question
is, do we have eternal souls?
Where do we go after we die?
Can we be sure? Are our sources reliable?
If only someone would prove their reliability
by fulfilling over three hundred prophecies,
performing miracles, coming back from the dead,
and predicting future events
more accurately than reporters
record the morning news!
Many leaders are becoming like soft-hearted
children trying to save the frog.
If they get their way
with abortion, infanticide,
Illegal immigration, climate change,
socialism and gun confiscation,
I hope these compassionate people
don’t have to sit back
and watch us bury ourselves.
