“The world is not against
our stand for righteousness
But against
our unrighteous stance.”
I heard the above quote
And a word jumped out at me,
You don’t have to guess;
It is inconsistency.
The greatest mixed signal
In all of today’s world
Is found in inconsistent behavior;
We ought to be perturbed.
Instead many are at ease
Because it suits them too
As they inveigle and manipulate
Those opposed to their view.
Inconsistency in Parliament
As it legislates laws,
Consistency in the law courts
Because of human flaws.
Inconsistency in the home:
Mixed signals to our children,
Inconsistency in the church:
Well, that’s another problem.
We are consistently inconsistent:
Therein is our problem
And someone once said,
It is more consistent in men.
Consistency in my poems
Which are mostly the long type,
But inconsistent this time;
This is all I will write.
