An Open Letter to Mike Johnson
An Open
Letter to Mike Johnson
How much longer will you avoid,
The duties that you applied for?
How much longer will you evade,
The matters you are derided for?
How many lives can you overlook,
How many do you explain away?
How many lives were extinguished in rubble,
How many lives were in your hands today?
How much longer will the whip hand,
Control your every action?
How much more blood has to spill,
To effect his satisfaction?
How many lives were lost this week,
Due to your unbroken inconstance?
How many lives to overcome,
The price paid for your conscience?
How many times are these questions asked,
Are they become painful to hear?
How many times do you choose your own pride,
Just to satisfy the veneer?
How much longer will you deny,
The choice to be humane?
How much longer will you pander,
To the bloodthirsty and the insane?
How many more times will you forget
The words you know are true,
How many more times will you negate:
“Do as you would have them do to you”
How many times can you claim the Christ,
As the blood drips from your hands?
How many more will be sacrificed,
When will you make a stand?
