A Little Philosophy

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be ridiculed
and called "traitor".

Blessed are the meek
for they shall be devoured
by the political machine.

Blessed are those who turn the other cheek
for they will be
smacked down yet again.

Blessed are the truth-tellers
for they shall be branded "troublemakers"
and never work in this town again.

Blessed are those who seek
for they shall be called "secularists"
and anti-Christian.

Blessed are those who love
for they shall be reviled
by those who hold their own hatred sacred.
