The Naked Truth

The whole bible is about our spiritual nakedness,told using metaphors and symbols.


The Naked Truth
by David A Johnson


How is it possible
that we can't see,
accepting that which is,
as if we are free?

We educate our people
to prosper first themselves,
to compete for good employment
to keep the food upon their shelves.

The masses vision only micro
each pursuing selfish dreams,
and trust in ones like ourselves,
to sustain our meager means.

But like each individual
governments too are the same,
regarding only their own way
isn't this obvious even plain?

Although intelligence seems evolved
primitive nature rules our lives,
which is those of stronger means,
whether right or wrong survives.

Perhaps it is the law of nature
and was our way as heathens,
the way of all uncivil creatures
who know no better reasons.

While politicians babel on blindly
pretending to serve the people,
practitioners of old religions
continue the course of evil.

Politicians I understand somewhat
for they do what they think is right.
But like most they lack humility
which without one has no sight.

But those who leap on authority
and before God display unfitness,
if only they'd searched a deeper truth,
they'd be a more Godly witness.

So you see it is in fact all of us
who should admit our naked shame,
which a wise and lowly carpenter
tried to tell this truth the same.
