PRAYER
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my Trump to keep.
Shower him with earned acclaim
Free him from a past of shame
Fill him with a mother’s pride
Make him warm and snug inside
Help him honor and love his wife
Renewing vows he made for life
Protect him from the NRA
Maybe even help him pray
Gentle his heart to help the poor
Bringing peace and what’s more
Give him respect for law and order
Melt with tears the southern border
Help his word be strong and true
Loving those of every hue
Moms and babies need each other
Help him find his inner mother
Let Mr. Mueller be his friend
And let the both of them defend
All the hopes and aspirations
Of our free united nation.
Amen
It is worth reminding ourselves that one can be entirely sincere and firm in one’s convictions–and entirely wrong. We must accept responsibility for whether we are right or wrong….Man’s “unlimited potential” is a term one hears often, and we are adjured to “fulfill it” as much as possible….The error is in treating potential as if it had no limits at all, as though life’s course were perpetually “onward and upward.” The illusion that we become “good” by progressing a little more each day is a doctrine bootlegged from technology and made into a dogma in ethics where it does not fit….in ethics, in aesthetics, in other matters of the spirit, the term progress in that sense has no place. Modern man is not ethically superior to Socrates and the Greeks, and although we build buildings differently we do not make them more beautiful than the parthenon. (From Power and Innocence.)
