My Favorite President
MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT
When I read newspapers, or hear stories,
of terrorism and crime.
When I’m suffering, as others due to illness,
or because someone loved … has died.
I ask myself, perhaps you have to,
Is this what God purposed, when
He created the earth, and us?
Will I ever see … peace?
Will, I ever see a ruler,
Who is impartial, doesn’t lie?
Who wants for all people, what he desires
for those he personally … loves?
Someone who doesn’t have a, “Me first attitude”
someone who understands how all people feel,
and the problems they daily deal with.
Someone who will judge the poor with fairness.
Will I ever see someone who loves people
as a childhood song I sang? Did you learn “Jesus
loves the little children, all the children of the world,
red and yellow, black and white, Jesus loves them all alike?
But what happened, they grew up?
What made them unloveable?
Why has the world become so full of hatred,
Wars, killings racism?
Why are greediness and indifference destroying
our beautiful earth, and its inhabitants,
animals and us?
Who is that Someone, who really cares?
Did you know centuries ago a very wise man wrote,
“I know, O God that man's way does not belong to him.
It does not belong to man who is walking
even to direct HIS steps”
If a man can’t direct his own steps?
Foolish to believe he’s capable of guiding others.
Mankind’s history proves, no man can satisfy the needs of
all mankind! My favorite President does not exist in the past,
nor now, nor the future.
New rulership that will be my favorite,
will not be passed down to anyone else!
Because, My Favorite President, will be a perfect immortal
Ruler, who’s title … is King!
